it is amazing to me that people are trying to tear down such a amazing feat, I could only imagine the difficulty that is ahead of Mr Stowe, While mainstream wishes bestow praise to folks that play in taxpayer paid stadiums, it truly is refreshing to root for our home sailor on a global oceanic stage. Fair winds and following seas brother.
Chill! Reid sold the educational aspects of the voyage to secure donations/sponsors that bankrolled this entire trip. The finished film will certainly cover what the voyage taught us about atmospheric science, celestial navigation, languages and Oceanography. When Reid returns, you naysayers will have to eat crow when he provides his log containing daily scientific measurements of ozone depletion and atmospheric pollution. Reid made promises, and, by gum, he'll deliver!
"Shortly after Mr. Stowe dropped off his companion, the press revealed that he is a convicted drug smuggler and owes back child support. Adam Nichols, of the NY Daily News, reported that Mr. Stowe is a "deadbeat dad running from nearly $10,000 owed in child support". The article states that "New York's Department of State issued a warrant for Stowe in 2005, claiming he owed $11,581" (from Wikipedia)
Intro fly in is way too long; and typography is terrible. Nobody uses Copperplate, and it is inappropriate for video where its fine serifs disappear. Get a real graphic designer to do titles and lower thirds.
It's worth noting that Soanya (26) left the voyage in Australia after becoming pregnant. She gave birth in July while Reid (56) continues his voyage to "evolve as a person".
