So I've obviously been pretty much laid up for awhile, and it seems every winter i get sick of said winter so i start watching documentaries about sailing which drives my wife completely crazy. But i love it, and the kids occasionally like to stop playing long enough to snuggle for a few minutes and watch them with me, so yeah. Watched a really cool one today about a family that basically started cruising in the 60s and didn't stop. They lost their first boat on a reef, salvaged as much equipment as they could until they were found, then built another boat in ferrocement (using measurements from the first one) and took off again. Ended up doing 3 circumnavigations, including a wrong way around Antarctica at very high latitudes. They did over 200k miles in their lives, which is almost unheard of (especially back then) and super hardcore. It's called following seas and is on Amazon prime for free if you have that. Really cool stories, and an incredible way to live.
Also watched this one, much more modern day but same principle. Has footage of them motoring through through a force 12 storm, which is badass. Insane to think of a boat half that size doing that and more tho, in the 1960s. Still a cool movie tho.
