Anyone who is interested in the history of the US Coast Guard Academy, Tall Ships, or sailing in general should watch this video. I got it just because I'm in it. Seriously, this video gives a very accurate account of what it was like to live on a ship back in the early days of sea exploration. A must see for every sailor.

This video reminds me why I became an oceanographer. The feeling of being at sea, away from sight of land, catching the salt spray on your face, can be exhilirating and scary at the same time. The teens in this film are transformed from young, uncertain, greenhands to seasoned, well-polished sailors over the course of 50 adventuresome minutes. There are some truly hilarious moments belowdecks and some incredibly harrowing moments on the mast. It really gives a sense of what ocean travel was like in the days of tall ships. I show this video to my college classes to give them an idea of what it's like to be at sea and what it's like to work hard to achieve a goal. I've seen it dozens of times and never tire of it.
