Blue Water Odyssey Blue Water Odyssey is a dvd which illuminates the beauty, adventure, and excitement of a world circumnavigation under sail. It chronicles an actual voyage, bringing to life the majesty of the ocean and the exotic places that such an endeavor touches.

Bob, Sandra, sons Stephen and Dwayne, and daughter Susan departed San Diego, Ca. on their sailing ketch Sea Witch, stopping first in Hawaii. Their voyage continues through the tropical islands of the South Pacific, Australia, sailing the Torres Straits to Bali and across the Indian Ocean to Africa. They voyaged on across the South Atlantic stopping at St Helena and islands off the coast of Brazil before sailing on through the Caribbean, Panama Canal, and finally back to San Diego.

The dvd depicts robust blue water sailing, secluded anchorages, and interesting native cultures encountered along the way.

Blue Water Odyssey is an extremely well done video which leaves the viewer wanting to cast off and follow in their wake.

Customer Review: Excellent DVD, well worth the cost.
I found this dvd very interesting and well filmed. It takes one on a voyage around the world and seemed to bring the essence of such an undertaking to life. The sailing shots were well done and the places visited quite interesting. It really leaves a person wanting to cast off and sail in their wake.
Customer Review: Blue Water Odyssey - a charming amateur production
Having met the Driscoll family, in the Hawkesbury River just north of Sydney, during their circumnavigation, this film held considerable personal nostalgia for me. I remember them as a charming, good-looking bunch and this film confirms that memory. It is a modest production, a bit of a home movie in fact, but that unassuming quality is charming in itself. The film shows some of the pleasures of a trade-wind voyage, provides glimpses of beautiful, simple places far off the beaten track and of the people who live there, and, above all, creates an intimate portrait of a happy family life. Seeing the kids grow up through the five years it took to complete this circumnavigation is cute. It fact, that’s how I’d describe this film - cute, unpretentious and a pleasant 90 minutes entertainment.

Art of Cruising Men Customer Review: Sorry, but the film is not worth seeing
Got the chance to see the film and unfortunately never saw anything worth remembering. It is a loose attempt to be too techy and informative but it fails on both counts. Unfortunately, this isn’t the type of film you would want to waste your 70 mins with even if you have so much to spare. I’d rather watch BAMBI and be entertained.
Customer Review: Summary
The Art of Cruising Men is a wonderfully amusing, irreverent look at the lengths many gay men go to in order to make sexual contact with one another. Follow the route from first eye contact to orgasm, from prehistoric times through the forbidden worlds of bathrooms and the clubs and bars of the 1990s. Explicit nudity is featured. From the creator of Max Headroom, one of the most celebrated television achievements of the eighties, comes a whole new style of video. 70 min.

The bike even includes a quick-release seat post for speedily finding the most comfortable seat height. Other features include old-fashioned rear coaster brakes and mid-sized road tires. Huffy, which made its first bike–the Davis Sewing Machine bicycle–in 1892, is so confident in the Cranbrook that it offers a lifetime warranty on its steel frame. The remaining parts are backed by a standard six-month warranty.

Finding the Right Bike
To really enjoy cycling, it’s important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you’re in the market for a new bike:

The Right Ride
In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:

• Road and Racing Bikes–As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain.
• Mountain Bikes–With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike–even one that you use regularly on trails–adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
• Comfort/Cruiser Bikes–For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family.

The Right Price
A bike’s price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability.

• Entry-level–You’ll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use.
• Mid-range–Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you’re looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the “sweet spot.” Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
• High-end–Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action.

The Right Size
Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips:

• Stand-over Height–To find out if a bike’s overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you’ll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you’ll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height.
• Top Tube Length–You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike’s posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit.
• Bikes for Women–Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women’s bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance.

The Right Accessories
When you make a bike purchase, don’t forget these crucial add-ons:

• Helmet (this is a must!)
• Seat pack
• Lock
• Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages
• Spare tubes
• Portable bike pump
• Gloves

Customer Review: Perfect
The bike was a gift for my niece. It arrived right away and we had no problem finding all the pieces and putting it together.
Customer Review: Good bike fore money
Bike was good. It was a little bent in box.
Amazon was unable to ship it by Christmas so it was a few weeks late.
They did very little to help me out. Gave me a $10 credit for my trouble.
Should have charged them my hourly wage for following up on the order 6 times. Then they would have paid me to take the bike!
