An anthology of stories and poems chosen for performance at the Solstice Shorts Festival 2019, in Greenwich, Maryport, Hastings, Peterhead, Clydebank, Holyhead and Lisbon. How do tides affect our lives? How has that changed through history? An exploration of making a living on or by the sea fishermen and pirates, wreckers and dockers and making a new life across the sea escaping pograms and wars, and the endlessly travelling and of paddlers and wild swimmers.
