Simply amazing. Can you imagine trying to keep and operate a 1929 MOVIE
camera on a ship like that always wet from stem to stern? Just the
survival of the old nitrate film at sea is a whole story in itself!

Excellent, thank you for pointing it out. Unfortunately I only got 12
minutes in when I just stopped, so I'm downloading it to watch another
time. The commentary is very dry, but the scenes speak for themselves.

I've seen worse conditions in person. You ain't a man until you rounded the
Horn in a small sailboat single handing. I'll take finesse over brute force
anytime.

Saw it many years ago, sort of inspiring if you were thinking about
hauling cargo by sail.

I like the part where he jokes about the 4 prop kicking up such a
wake,,,that and when he climbs down the edge of the sail and forestay.
the fellow defined the term "Deck Ape".

Climbing down the edge of the sail was pretty amazing.
All you could do is pinch the edge. No way to actually
grab the sail.

That's got to be plain old (superhuman) hand strength!

I've passed it on to all my sailing friends.
I think I'll even post it on Sailing Anarchy tonight.
(and they think their guys are tough!)

Thanks again.
Real good share.

Wilbur, you are full of **** up to your eyeballs and the rest of full
of toilet paper. You are the purest form of air polution, constantly
striving to reach a new low. Congrats, you've reached another
milestone!
