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.
Most beautiful documentary on sailing I have ever seen! And I have seen a
lot of old documentary adventure but this one is the most wonderful! My dad
would be envious! And my grandmother adventurous!
Wow, what an inspiring watch that was. I’m just getting into boating and
thus have seen much about sailing. This is right up there with the best for
sure!
They made it all look so easy. A lesson for all modern sailors.
Awesome. Just awesome.
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.
What a genuine and absolutely priceless historical document!
Absolutely legendary stuff!!! THX for the upload so much!!!
