Food for thought: want to run for port when it gets rough?   Grin

"Cruising:"  moving fast from anchorage to anchorage.

What about voyaging?

(I cannot get over that interior...something out of a sci fi space voyage movie I've seen...)

Another movie recommendation...not exactly sailing related, but it is about the love of the water, and an INCREDIBLY inspirational story.  This is the story of Bethany Hamilton, the teen surfer who got her arm taken off by a shark, and went on to compete at the champion level in pro surfing.

This girl's got real guts...the kind that's hard to find nowadays, it seems.

Soul Surfer

I really liked the inclusion of real video footage of Bethany and family in the credits, scenes that 'mirrored' produced scenes in the film.  Some of the film we thought might be for dramatic effect - not so much, since they were reenactments of actual 'home movies.'

Well, I have to say that even though this is not sailing, I find this to be one of the COOLEST videos on youtube.  It's time elapse of a tugboat working along New York City.  Tommy Emmanuel's guitar work adds to it, but what I find really cool is the 'titles' that just scream "waterman" and "work boat."

Same guy has some other cool videos on youtube as well.

This was a WONDERFULLY made documentary...thank-you for posting this link.  Wow.  The US documentary makers could take a lesson from the Canadians that put this one together...

Also this week, we've watched two on the Shackleton voyage; both were excellent and sort of focused on different aspects of the ordeal. 

Shackleton gets a lot of the press as the hero of that story for his overall leadership, rightfully so, but I've got to say that Frank Worsley has earned a place among my own personal sailing heroes.
