EXCELLENT SAILING CIRCUMNAVIGATION DVD,
By
This review is from: Blue Water Odyssey (DVD)
I found this DVD an excellent DVD of a family's sailing voyage around the world. The picture quality was good and the narration/music well done. Some of the sailing shots were outstanding and the places visited quite interesting.
If you are looking for a "how to" movie this is not for you, in my opinion there are quite enough of those, however, if you a looking for a "doing it" movie this is the one for you. I would guess this circumnavigation was accomplished in the 1980-1990 time frame but the ocean doesn't change and the excitement of such a trip remains. What a marvelous family adventure this must have been.

Entertaining video of an enviable voyage,
By PJY "pjsailor" (Cumming, Ga USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Water Odyssey (DVD)
A 5-year sailing trip around the world is something many of us dream about. This family pulled it off. The ports of call were interesting as was the commentary. The film is done in the style of "The Endless Summer" with narration over a silent film with background music. The one things I thought was missing though was shots of them actually sailing. A 5 year voyage on the high seas and most the shots were of the ports of call. There wasn't a lot of video of the boat sailing at sea and based on the footage they didn't experience any hardships, broken rudders, torn sails or anything else that I am sure added some real drama to the voyage. While overall it is a nice video of a family vacation and it is well shot, I found it to be more a film of destinations rather than sailing.

well done, interesting video,
This review is from: Blue Water Odyssey (DVD)
This video begins by briefly opening a scrapbook where the family is introduced and then fades into the movie about their five year circumnavigation under sail. The movie commences in Hawaii and continues through the South Pacific Ocean islands, Australia, Indonesia, Indian Ocean, South Africa, South Atlantic, Carribbean, Panama Canal, and back to San Diego, CA. where the voyage had began.
I found the sailing scenes were well done and the interesting exposure of the family to the diverse cultures they visited extremely well done. I have attended several presentations of voyages given in person by the people who did them but I have never enjoyed any of them as much as I enjoyed this one. My husband and I saw this dvd with several friends and we all enjoyed it. The unaminous conclusion was that this was the best of this type of presentation that we had seen. I highly recommend Blue Water Odyssey.
