Hey Bruce, have you seen the movie "Morning Light"?
Nope. We don't go out to the movies much and the TV is all Thai
programs. No late night movie :-(

It's one of my very favorite DVDs.

It's a documentary about a bunch of kids that Roy Disney
invited to sail his TP52 in the Transpac race in 2007.

Highly recommended, if you ever get the chance.

We have an enormous choice in pirate disks here. In fact there is a
far greater selection in the pirate shops then in the legitimate
places, so next time I'm by I'll have a look and see whether I can
find it.

LOL, I came real close to misunderstanding that.

The absolute worst movies I've seen lately are *Hollywood* pirate flicks...
(Pirates of the Caribbean).

I found "History of the TransPac" on Netflicks.
That was great. Interesting stuff, and educational without being boring.

So, other than "Wind", what else is worth watching?

All of the Horatio Hornblower movies, ditto "Master and Commander".

"Dead Calm" with Nicole Kidman, Sam Neill and Billy Zane.

"White Squall" with Jeff Bridges.

"Perfect Storm"

"Mutiny on the Bounty"

"Shackleton"

I thought Perfect Storm was one of the worst movies I've seen. I read
the book first so maybe that ruined it but watching the model boat
climbing the mammoth wave was sort of ridicules.

Are the Hornblower movies good? I've enjoyed the books and wondered
about the movies.

Cheers,
