This film will likely be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in sailing, but also by anyone who yearns for adventure. The character shown by this family is staggering and inspirational. As with so many other sailing adventures, you see that success mostly comes down to determination.

The Wake of Narcissism
Erik-Movie-Reviews11 May 2023
This was a very good Documentary that had a very compelling and interesting cast of characters and gives the viewer a lot to think about. The two lead characters, Husband and Wife decided to make a living traveling the world's oceans. What comes across very clearly is the high price their family paid for this decision. One of the sons lost his life, the other children might have wished their parents had lived a more stable and less adventurous existence.
Any Adult can choose to live the life they wish, but when other people or dependents are involved it's very unfortunate when their desire for fun and frolic has a lifetime negative impact on others.

Riveting movie for those looking for a different road in life!

For those (such as me) who identify with living a non conventional life this is a great movie. This movie is not about getting rich or seeking power. It is about living a life in the moment while seeing the world and experiencing life from a totally different perspective. The main voice providing the (autobiographical) narration of the real life footage that was shot in 1960's is the much younger (at the time) narrator. She and her family are the subject of the footage. She tells the story in a mesmerizing way in a mesmerizing story in a time before GPS and other such technology. She is at the end of her life as she tells the story.
