4.0 out of 5 stars Motivation to finish something, November 14, 2002
By A Customer
Do you have kids who lack motivation? This is a movie that can open many doors to their learning experience. You can follow up with two books about Robin Graham and his voyage. Finishing this circumnavigation took a lot of courage and guts. He wanted to quit several times, yet stuck with his dream.
Even though the movie is Hollywood, you can use it to help your kids see the world. They can learn what Robin did, that people can be happy without all the glitz of wealth. Plus no one in the movie gets shot, blown up, or abused. You can't go wrong with this movie about a real person who sailed around the world in a very small sailboat. You can climb a mountain in a week, but this took 4 years to complete. It's worth a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an adventure!, March 24, 1999
By beetls4evr@aol.com (Tacoma, Washington) - See all my reviews
This movie inspired me to want to buy my own boat and sail around the world (I never did, though). What an ideal adventure, as a boy sails to exotic and beautiful places and finds true love along the way. It wasn't an easy going, as he almost lost his life, but the rewards of such an undertaking are something most of us can only dream of. I always watch this movie as if it was me taking this once-in-a-lifetime voyage.

Inspiring '70's tale, sound-track a bit distorted at times, but not too bad for a 30+ year old video.

While most people seem to dwell on this film's purpose as a motion picture, it may help to think of it more as a illistrative documentary, albeit a highly fictionalised one. Read more

This is a great movie. I could never imagine sailing around the whole world alone in a 23 foot sailboat like Robin Lee Graham did. The scenery in this movie was beautiful. Read more
