Title: S/v Pestilence - great film... TWO solid thumbs up!
Post by: Rico on October 12, 2010, 10:35:19 PM
Watch the first few miinutes and you'll watch the whole thing several times! A bit of discussion about Pearson Yachts is included. A great production and a great adventure on the S/V Pestilence with some cool sailors.
Enjoy watching while I pack my bags and take off on an epic sailing voyage! (You may want to do the same after watching!)
Title: MUST SEE VIDEO. Time well spent... TWO solid thumbs up!

Very nice... well worth the watching...
... take my word for it, you will quickly forgive the excessive black screen that accompanies the early narration....
THanks for posting it.

Enjoyed that video a lot Rico. On further investigation, Mr. Marlinspike is also a pretty talented writer - his blogs are entertaining reading - see http://www.thoughtcrime.org/stories.html. I particularly like this entry http://www.thoughtcrime.org/stories/together-one/ on sailing without an engine to Mexico and back from San Fran.
p.s. re a sea shanty lyric reference in that Mexico entry - I found this songbook of sea shanties. No chords, but I'm sure those are available piecemeal somewhere... http://www.rockhallpirates.com/RockHallPirates_Songbook.pdf
