If u wrote like 99% of wikipedia...............then u might put a clue here and there......
A lee shore is one that is to the lee side of a vessel — meaning the wind is blowing towards it.[1] Lee (green) and windward (red) shores of a lake, given wind from due east (white arrows).
The terms "lee shore" and "windward" or "ward shore" are nautical terms used to describe a stretch of shoreline.
A lee shore is one that is to the lee side of a vessel — meaning the
wind is blowing towards it. A weather shore has the wind blowing from
inland over it out to sea. For example, a person standing on a shore
when the wind is blowing out to sea (or any large body of water) is
standing on a weather shore. If the wind is blowing into shore from the
sea, the person is on a lee shore.
