Sea Gypsies: The Far Side of the World

Simply incredible. If you have an unquenchable thirst for adventure Sea Gypsies is your prefect film. This documentary completely changed my life. Watched it once, six months later I was living on SV Infinity.

I found this movie by accident and I'm so happy I watched it. Between what they are able to accomplish with ingenuity and sheer will amazed me. It makes one realize how much can be achieved by working together.

Between the lack of money, the polar bears, the equipment, and the announcement that they will be eating vegan made me laugh and cry, and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Captain Clemens is multi talented leader and reminds us the only reason they can even attempt this dangerous journey is because of global warming.

And it was fantastic!

What an adventure! Which is what we are all doing anyways. It's just some of us choose to make the adventure a little more safe/boring.

The greatest parts of this wonderful documentary include the wisdom of the crew and captain, shared nakedly to camera/audience once in awhile throughout. Little gifts of wisdom that the filmmaker was wise enough to know were meant for our (the audience's) ears.

The other wise move on the filmmaker's part was to give us tastes of the environmental and ethical catastrophes humans create, by showing us interactions in the whaling trade, as well as focus on the plastic pollution of the ocean and the decrease in life abundance in the fish population. It wasn't a "hit you over the head" endeavor, like most environmentalist films. It was simply just a bite of the whole pizza of the adventure they were on. Therefore, the adventure took precedence, which made it a story, and not a lecture.

I've learned so much from this film, and I'm so grateful.

Be ye on yer way, matee! Go onward cross the windward skies forever safe and warm.

When I started watching this, I thought it might be interesting but end up boring. The exact same opposite occurred. I started watching it. It was interesting and it got more and more and more interesting. There are so many interesting parts of this movie that it's hard to imagine. The boat itself is pretty amazing since it's Wood! All of these guys are kind of like teenage boys who never grow up. But the environment will blow you away because it definitely is something harsh. The one thing that you have to keep in mind is how the weather is constantly ready to terrorize them.
