Not a book... (or: The video thread)

Big oceans  was a great one,  thank you! good looking boat, contessa 26! any more links???

Try this video on for size.

from www.wildvikings.com

They have a dvd, I would really love to see it (hint hint ;)) but last time I checked, they wanted 50USD for it.
So i read the book and was pretty satisfied, anyway, if anybody ever gets that dvd let me know :)

I think Nick's (www.bigoceans.com) voyage is being documented for a documentary which would be wonderful, but will take another year or two to come out. of course, the videos he has put together and released free of charge are IMO the best around.

I believe Zac Sunderlands trip will have a dvd release once he has completed the voyage. That should be interesting. I know he has several camera's mounted on his boat.

Overall, there really is a shortage of high quality no-nonsense cruising videos.

please let us know if you find anything else.

Dnice... Wildvikings, the norwiegan... I 've seen that too- (yes I know I told you only in bigger boats...eh..).- An Albin Vega far north. an allright dvd, but not that great, I think (sorry, don't like the cold climat)
They did a trip before this filmed one. And the boat sank outside Afrika, hit by a whale or somthing??!! More tip please...

Okay, this is a different type of video recommendation.

We often talk about consumerism and materialism here on sailfar.  Well, on the advice of a good friend, tonight I watched the movie TRUE STORIES featuring Talking Heads frontman David Byrne.

In a word, what an amazing flick.  Quite the comedic commentary on modern American consumerism.  Great soundtrack, too.

I've always thought Byrne was a genius; this cements it in my mind.  This movie is well worth a look if you want to examine consumerism and quietly ponder, after watching it, the KISS and SailFar principles.

Grog for that great recommendation :)

Here is a link to a torrent, you will need a torrent client to download the 1.4 Mb mov file.

Sailing from Florida to the Dominican Republic on a Pearson 30, one guy and three girls.

The political propaganda is stupid, the ideology is silly, but on the water, who cares about ideology.

Sometimes, the youtube comments are more entertaining than the video...

Hey Guys, What kind of camera are they using for these kitecams?

(man, that place just looks treacherous; and here I thought Eliot and Snow's Cuts were bad...)

[CharlieJ]

Wapoo Creek was bad, Snows Cut was worse, but that's awesome!!!!
