Book Reviews of The Blue Edge
Book Review: Fantastic account of a sea that's fully wild and full of life
Summary: 5 Stars
I confess that I'm a fan of Carlos Eyles. This is the first of his several books that I've read. His writing is simple yet engaging. And his accounts are amazing. He writes of freediving with schooling hammerheads, leapfrogging among the territories of various sharks with each coming to "greet" him, and of the adventures in simply sailing to and from the Sea of Cortez where much of this book is set. Perhaps equally importantly, this book is set in the not so distant, but very different past. I read this book before heading to the Sea of Cortez and was struck by the impact upon the life which we've wrought. Put simply, but sadly, this is not an account which could be written today, or by anyone other than Mr. Eyles.
Summary of The Blue Edge
As one of the last blue water hunters, the author returns to the bountiful Sea of Cortez he knew decades ago, and finds it empty. In this mystical journey of man's spirit, the ocean beckons to a distant archipelago in search of the great sharks, mantas and whales. Casting off the world of man, Eyles takes us into the pristine but dangerous depths on breath-hold dives to find our deepest fears and longings.Marine Life Books
