Blue Water Odyssey is a dvd which illuminates the beauty, adventure, and excitement of a world circumnavigation under sail. It chronicles an actual voyage, bringing to life the majesty of the ocean and the exotic places that such an endeavor touches.

Bob, Sandra, sons Stephen and Dwayne, and daughter Susan departed San Diego, Ca. on their sailing ketch Sea Witch, stopping first in Hawaii. Their voyage continues through the tropical islands of the South Pacific, Australia, sailing the Torres Straits to Bali and 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 dvd depicts robust blue water sailing, secluded anchorages, and interesting native cultures encountered along the way.

Blue Water Odyssey is an extremely well done video which leaves the viewer wanting to cast off and follow in their wake.

Customer Reviews

EXCELLENT SAILING CIRCUMNAVIGATION DVD
I found this DVD an excellent DVD of a family's sailing voyage around the world. The picture quality was good and the narration/music well done. Some of the sailing shots were outstanding and the places visited quite interesting.
If you are looking for a "how to" movie this is not for you, in my opinion there are quite enough of those, however, if you a looking for a "doing it" movie this is the one for you.
I would guess this circumnavigation was accomplished in the 1980-1990 time frame but the ocean doesn't change and the excitement of such a trip remains. What a marvelous family adventure this must have been.

Sailing Documentary
This is a delightful documentary about a sailing trip around the world which I thought was very enjoyable to watch. I have attended several presentations of sailing trips and watched a couple of VHS/DVD which were about sailing trips of lesser magnitude. This one, in my opinion, is the best I have seen. There are excellent sailing scenes and interesting destinations presented. The music, some of which was original, was nicely done.
Watching Blue Water Odyssey was a nice diversion on a cold winter evening.

Sail cruising documentary
This is a very entertaining documentary about a family's sailing circumnavigation accomplished on a remarkably beautiful sail boat. It contains some very good sailing scenes and provides an interesting insight into what it is like to have such a "once in a lifetime" adventure.
I was pleased to find it a well filmed presentation with pleasant music and narration which carried the viewer away on a very memorable journey. What a wonderful experience this family has had. I am very envious.
This really is a remarkable DVD that is well worth the price.
