Wife and I watched “True Spirit” last night. Very inspirational story, but my God man, some of the technical details in the sailing scenes made us apoplectic. Being crushed by waves, but her hatch and companionway are completely open the entire time?! No reef in with winds and waves already ripping around her?! Three storms converging and the skies already dark, but she’s gonna stay down below looking at well-wisher’s videos on her vlog, then make a long phone call?! And don’t get us started on the condition of the galley with dirty pots, pans, cups and plates strewn about and filling the sink while she was stuck in the doldrums. We enjoyed it overall, but man did they need a detail person to clean up some things. (I refuse to believe someone sailing around the globe would have allowed those things to actually occur.)
