Friday Film Link - Hiscock

This Advent, I thought I would show case some fun films regarding the sailing life. Yachting maybe very old, as John Vigor points out, however, it is only rather recently that "average" people could afford this sort of thing.
To continue, I thought I would share a film about one of the earlier cruising couples: Eric and Susan Hiscock (Eric Hiscock: 14 March 1908 - 15 September 1986; Susan Hiscock:  - 12 May 1995). Eric published many books and articles about their voyages. They set out to explore the world and meet people and find a bit of tranquility. Their voyages were planned in depth and well executed.  While Eric was the one who wrote the articles and took the pictures of their voyages, they were definitely an equal partnership with Susan sharing equally in the preparation and execution. Bluemoment has an excellent short piece on the Hiscocks.
The following video pieces are (one) a preview of a video that the Hiscock's took on their second trip around the world: Beyond the West Horizon. Then there are two interviews: Lin and Larry Pardey remembrances of the Hiscocks, and Theis Matzen and Kicki Ericson reflect on sailing Wanderer III.
 Enjoy the videos.

Blessed Be
Joel
