Blue Water Odyssey

This is a full color, beautifully filmed, adventure in which you can share in the excitement of a family's sailing voyage around the world.

Bob, Sandra, sons Stephen and Dwayne, and daughter Susan departed San Diego, Ca. on their sailing ketch Sea Witch stopping first in Hawaii. Their itinerary included the islands of the South Pacific, on to Australia, thence through to Torres Straits to Bali and then onward 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 film depicts robust blue water sailing, secluded anchorages, and interesting native cultures. Scenes present a cultural montage ranging from a cargo-cult tribe encountered in the New Hebrides, a surf carnival in Australia, to a Hindu Cremation Ceremony in Bali, Indonesia. more
