Hard to Find Videos:

Boating How To Videos Good how to boating videos are few and far between. And in this country boat shows find it hard to get air time ... even on PBS. So here's a collection of informative videos we've found on the Internet.

Into the Eye of the Storm The 1998 Sidney to Hobart race. Gail force winds and 100 foot seas cost 6 people their lives and many lost boats.

Some of our favorite TV shows:

Crusoe A modern interpretation of Daniel Defoe's famous novel.

Gilligan's Island. Gilligan and fellow castaways plot and plan to escape the island, but somehow their plans always go wrong.

McHale's Navy Watch McHale and his band of pirates party through WWII.

Ocean Girl! Follow the adventures of our young heros and a girl that talks to wales.

Sea Hunt Mike Nelson brings us the wonderful underwater world. Earth quakes, man eating fish and bad guys are no match for our hero.

Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea The classic 1960's series about submarines, sea monsters and villains.

Movies for sailors:

Moby Dick Captain Ahab chases the white whale until the whale catches him.

Captains Courageous This is it! This is the all time best sailing movie ever. It's from 1937 ... when there were still sailing ships about and people who knew how to sail them. Enjoy:)

Beneath the 12 Mile Reef A young Robert Wagner dives for sponges, battles the bad guys and gets the girl. Great fun!

The Bounty Girls! It's Mel. Guys! It's Mel and native girls. That's right Mel Gibson boldly recreates the role of Mr. Christian previously played by Marlon Brando and makes it his own. I boarded this boat in Philadelphia a long time ago. I still have the sweatshirt! The last I heard the boat was a floating restaurant somewhere in Florida.

Captain Kidd The 1945 classic staring Charles Laughton and Randolph Scott and an incredible supporting cast. Arrrgh! There be pirates about.

Crusoe Another telling of Defoe's famous tail. This one staring Aidan Quin.

Long John Silver A tale about the infamous character from Treasure Island from our friends in Australia. Filmed in 1954 it stars Robert Newton and Rod Taylor.

Mysterious IslandI'm an avid reader of technical material, but not fiction. Jules Verne's Mysterious Island was the only fiction I ever read from cover to cover, non-stop. I just couldn't put it down. The movie is pretty good too.

Ocean Oasis Tour the Sea of Cortez and Baja California with Soames Summerhays.

Phantom Ship The story of the Marie Celeste told by Hammer Films in 1935 and staring Bela Lugosi. How great is that? Huh?

Road to Bali Here you go, Bing and Bob chase Dorthy across the South Pacific. Great 1950's family entertainment.

Speed 2: Cruise Control It open's with Sandra Bullock taking a driving test in a VW "Thing". Tim Conway is the instructor. You just know this is going to be a fun movie.

Virus Jamie Lee Curtis (channeling Segorny Weaver) fights electro-mechanical aliens on a Russian ship during a typhoon. A very dark and stormy night, what more could a sailor ask for? Rated 'R'
