Description
English: A diagram showing the lee (red) and windward (green) shores of an island (Maui, to be precise) given a wind from due east. Lee shores in particular have a bad reputation for danger in sailing vessels. While the diagram appears to be backwards, a "lee shore" is so named because it is on the lee side of the boat, thus the wind is driving the boat into the shore.
