Binding: DVDEAN: 0883629052441 Format: NTSC Label: CustomFlix Manufacturer: CustomFlix Publisher: CustomFlix Release Date: August 03, 2006 Studio: CustomFlix Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Blue Water Odyssey is a dvd which illuminates the beauty, adventure, and excitement of a world circumnavigation under sail. It chronicles an actual voyage, bringing to life the majesty of the ocean and the exotic places that such an endeavor touches. Bob, Sandra, sons Stephen and Dwayne, and daughter Susan departed San Diego, Ca. on their sailing ketch Sea Witch, stopping first in Hawaii. Their voyage continues through the tropical islands of the South Pacific, Australia, sailing the Torres Straits to Bali and across the Indian Ocean to Africa. They voyaged on across the South Atlantic stopping at St Helena and islands off the coast of Brazil before sailing on through the Caribbean, Panama Canal, and finally back to San Diego. The dvd depicts robust blue water sailing, secluded anchorages, and interesting native cultures encountered along the way. Blue Water Odyssey is an extremely well done video which leaves the viewer wanting to cast off and follow in their wake. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Entertaining video of an enviable voyageA 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. 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 ...

It was low budget and a bit grainy, filmed on 8 mm I think. It is very interesting and a bit of a time travel back to the 60's. It's not for eveyone, but it was worth the but for me. Rating:  - well done, interesting videoThis 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 ... Read More Rating: - EnjoyableI would rather be able to give this two and a half stars for production quality and four stars for content. This is really a set of home movies from the early eighties. It's about a family that meandered around the world over the course of five years. I got this at the same time as "Being Out There". They are very different films. English is a second language for my wife, and she really enjoyed this movie while the other one put her to sleep. "Blue Water Odyssey" explains ...

It takes one on a voyage around the world and seemed to bring the essence of such an undertaking to life. The sailing shots were well done and the places visited quite interesting. It really leaves a person wanting to cast off and sail in their wake. |
