There’s just one prerequisite for the 750-mile, motor-less boat race from Port Townsend, WA, through British Columbia’s beautiful but punishing waterways to Ketchikan, Alaska – you’ve gotta be a little crazy!  On dinghies, water-bikes, and trimarans, intrepid mariners tame nature’s forces and find solutions when there’s no way out, lending a visceral feel to this emotionally immersive and comically irreverent film.  Few care about the finish line  (most crave the 2nd Prize set of steak knives) - it’s about seamanship and ingenuity on open waters where rollerblade wheels, free paint, and scrounged, recycled materials are the winners.
