Not very fast in Falls Church are they??

 

already have "wind"...gotta stop eating burritos

 

Nah...that's your Great Uncle 'Iceberg'........


'The Onedine Line' was produced by the BBC for UK TV. Great series...but not much of a 'star' role for the 'Charlotte Rhodes' (The boat featured in the opening scenes, and credits). She was up in Inverness (Caledonian Basin) for quite some time during the filming...but as far as I know she is no longer afloat.

And of course the 'only' version of 'Treasure Island' worth viewing stars the late Robert Newton as Long John Silver. He gave the world the definitive: "Harrr - Jim lad....." Copied the world over - especially during the ridiculous 'Talk Like a Pirate' day....

 

anyone remember the name of a John Wayne flic ....can't remember much about it ...might have been called " the sea witch"?

 

I believe it was called: 'Wake of the Red Witch' - and the ship 'Sea Witch' gave a much more convincing performance than Wayne....

I still rate 'Riddle of the Sands' - (1979) starring Michael York and Jenny Agguter as one of the best sailing films ever - some classic yachts...and a basic course in navigation...

 

that was it "the wake of the red witch"....yeah I don't remember much about it except it did have boats ...and I am really looking forward to the Michael York movie ...hopefully it gets delivered soon...thanks for pointing me in that direction

 

A friend just leant me "Captain Courageous" Rudyard Kipling tale of the reformation of a spoilt brat. Brat falls off a liner is picked up by a Cod Dory taken to the mother schooner works for his keep. Some good footage and a reasonable yarn and you even get to see/hear a hurdy gurdy.

 

Not a movie but you can buy the DVD of the series - Onedin Line. Some nice footage of sailing vessels.

You may not like Kevin but the real hero in Waterworld was his catamaran - pity it died in the end. I would love a boat that would actually do what it seems to do.

His trimaran didn't die actually.

Does anyone know what happened to the 'Charlotte Rhodes' ?

As I mentioned, she was in 'a bad state of repair' when I was last in the UK.

 

I saw a good movie a few days ago ,I have it in my collection, Its called 'Longitude' . Very good movie, about Queen Ann offering 20,000 pounds to any one who can find Longitude at sea. Got boats in it.

 

Capitain Horatio Hornblower

Late 50's the first TV arrives at my father's house. The first movie: "Captain Horatio Hornblower". I never forgot that one. I was a young boy and that movie had made quite an impression on me .

...I do have the Hornblower series..and of course "Waterworld"...your are right ...the boat was the star in that one
