This review is from: Being Out There (DVD)

The movie reminded me of so many wonderful memories of our cruising years. We lived aboard for 7 years and cruised from Maine to Trinidad plus Mexico and Cuba. Back on land but still longing to be on the water. Some of the scenes and people brought tears to my eyes. Yes, it's impossible to capture on film what it's really like but the DVD does a great job of bringing the realities to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review From Southwinds Magazine, October 25, 2005

Being Out There is a cruising video. Made by a Tampa Bay company owned by a cruising couple, this video will tell you a little bit about what it's like "being out there" cruising around.

Mitch and Michelle Traphagen took several months and cruised the Bahamas and Caribbean aboard their sailboat. When they returned, they wanted to make a video about cruising. Since they had professional experience in a related media field, they produced Being Out There.

The filming is in the Bahamas and other points south (including Havana), but the real interesting part is the interviews with miscellaneous cruisers who give the viewer an idea of what the cruising life is like. Among those interviewed were a couple that took their baby along, telling you what they encountered, the joys and experiences they had, what their parents thought about them cruising with their grandchild, what their daily life was like. Another interview was with teenagers in the Bahamas who were cruising with their families - what they felt and missed and like about the lifestyle, what friends they made.

A fun and informative video, with beautiful scenes, leaving the viewer wanting to be out there now - or pretty soon anyway. Great music by Eileen Quinn, too.

if you're looking for a "sailing video" this is not it. It's a fun video without the "nuts & bolts" of sailing/cruising info--lots of clips of scenery and people, with some interviews from other cruisers. Good music, although at times it competed with and distracted from the actual video. The extras with Mitch commenting on the making of the video were fun to watch.
