Washed Up - The Curious Journeys of Flotsam & Jetsam
Now Available by Skye Moody: The Hardcover version of WASHED UP: The Curious Journeys of Flotsam & Jetsam. (Sasquatch Original Trade Paper, 2006 / MJW Books (New York, NY, 2009). WASHED UP received a Washington Library Asociation Literary Achievement Award. Moody frequently speaks to professional organizations, city clubs, and university assemblies about the curiosities and sometimes even dangerous objects that wash up on the world's beaches, many having been shot out of the deadly global ocean gyres that are held together precariously by a milky mixture of photodegrading plastics.
“Washed Up knocked me out. Informative, funny, intimate, and beautifully written. I’ll never walk a beach again without thinking about hermaphroditic barnacles, the truth behind the mystery of purple sea glass, and the fact that ambergris is incredibly expensive whale vomit that smells great. I loved every word of it.” - Robert Ferrigno, author of Prayers for the Assassin
“This engaging, worldly, and amusing book is a perfect gift for beachcombers or for anyone dazzled by the science and romance of the sea. Moody’s amazing collection of stories, folklore, and facts don’t diminish the mystery and magic of flotsam. They enrich it.” -
Jim Lynch, author of The Highest Tide
