Hell or High Seas

This is a great story. A story to bring awareness to military suicides and the difficulties veterans encounter adjusting to a civilian lifestyle. My company sponsored a Zoom call with Taylor and Stephen... which happened to be the day after Taylor's child was born. One of the questioned asked of him was why PTSD was so prevalent in non-combat personnel. Once he described the pace of operations that he faced as a rescue swimmer and the low success rates of missions I understood how that stress is not left with the Navy when you go home. And as a 20 year Navy guy myself, I found it crazy that the military is not doing more for those leaving the service. If nothing else, all military members need to see this movie.

In response to the rising suicide rates among veterans, this documentary emerges as a crucial resource. It helps veterans comprehend their trauma and transform their experiences into avenues for positive growth.

Taylor's inspirational story offers hope to veterans and their families, showing that there is a meaningful life after military service and a path to fulfillment through post-traumatic growth.

The film emphasizes that healing doesn't have to be a solitary journey. Taylor shows us what it means for veterans to support veterans. This documentary not only allowed me to understand my trauma but also helped my wife better understand my experiences. As Taylor courageously shares his story, he demonstrates, "The bravest thing you can do is live and create a life worth living."

Taylor is an amazing character, and he and John capture the true nature of PTSD in American veterans in a powerful way. The shots from Patagonia were absolutely breathtaking, and the overall beauty captured throughout the voyage conveyed the restorative effects of the journey.

Adventure, action, heart and soul! This documentary has it all! You'll enjoy the action of the sailing but be moved by the story of Taylor and other Vets as they talk about the struggle of returning to civilian life! I cannot say enough! Edge of your seat moment, tears and laughs! It has it all! Excellent cinematography as well! Watch it now!

Amazing voyage through the real world struggles with PTSD and a unique and personal insight into overcoming obstacles. Well shot and edited. Love the Patagonia shots.

On a personal note.... As a family member of Veterans who have faced the difficulties of civilian life reintegration and friend of those who have taken their own life, all I can say is THANK YOU for highlighting your journey. Furthermore, I love how you have continued the voyage and what your organization Skeleton Crew Adventures is actively doing to help veterans and first responders on a daily basis. Keep up the amazing work, fair winds and calm seas.
