    he made it sound easy yet 30 days of sailing 2hrs on 2 hours off
    constantly at the helm thats hard work ,but thats the way it was

    Loved it, not a GPS or chartplotter in sight. Simple and rather wonderful
    window on the past.

    How funny that he criticizes the Spaniards for making women do work, and
    then spends so much time showing Susan doing the washing and cooking and
    cleaning. “Susan is used to this sort of stove..”

    A different era, fantastic. As an ex-pat Kiwi, it’s wonderful to see New
    Zealand again from the perspective of that era, right around the time I was
    born. Very good camera work and voice over.
    Thanks for posting.

    the sextant.
