For anyone who has the remotest interest in tall ships and the old ways, this is well worth a watch. It had me entranced for nearly 40 minutes straight. Fantastic

I suppose I'll forgive you. You do have a real job after all!

You mean you have a life too?! That's just greedy!

Watched it, finally! Made me extremely wistful for rope and canvas...

Fantastic, thanks for the bump, I had missed this first time around.

For those of you who can read there is also a great book called "The Last Great Grain Race", which is a fantastic story of a guy who went to sea on a commercial sailing ship.
