Slow Start turns into Great Movie
The first 10 to 15 minutes was very slow and boring and does not add much to the Documentary. However, I am glad I kept watching. It really turned into an excellent story, with a very likeable crew, and a very inspirational message.Worth Watching!
The best documentary no one has seen!
Not to give away the story (it’s at the top of this review) . . . this is 73 minutes of excitement and unexpected entertainment.The inaugural round the world yacht race out of Portsmouth, U.K., was held 46 years ago. It was, and remains, a test of will, seamanship, and luck, as boats sail (at that time) to three locations (Cape Town, South Africa; Sydney, Australia; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, before returning to Portsmouth).
The film’s producers interview 12 members of a crew thrown together by an inexperienced sailor/Mexican businessman that piloted a yacht none of them was familiar with on the five-month voyage that included the horrific seas of the Southern Ocean, and snow and ice off Cape Horn.
This is a fabulous mix of the sea, history, sport and thrills, and a visual treat.
