That's a happy face.  Does that mean she's never sailing again, or she is going 
to encourage you to sail more by yourself?  (&take out a policy on you.  . .)

My wife and I saw it last night. And yes, like many of you I squirmed at the 
timing of repairs, the methods, the strange priority of responding to problems 
and so on. I was muttering the entire movie.

But my wife had a little different take on things. Since it seemed to be pretty 
clear from the opening of the movie that he was a bit of wreck in real life it 
might stand to reason that what you saw in his responses to problems may have 
been how he approached many of his problems in life and maybe why he was out 
there alone.

I thought this line of reasoning had some merit. And yeah, it’s Hollywood so...

My wife did reconsider the whole boat thing though.  :-)

Cheers,

I suggest looking at the string on Sailing Anarchy, they pretty much have it 
covered.
It was disappointing tho , all the little things, it could have been so much 
better with very little effort. Just things like actually being concerned that 
you boat is filling with water and stuffing a vest in the hole, bailing with 
buckets, or tacking so as to not sail with a hole under water, etc -  But most 
of us sailors are an overly critical bunch, and non-sailors probably won’t 
notice most of that stuff.

I saw it last weekend; and agree that it’s an acting tour de force for Redford.
 
Still, no PFD ever?!  And he clips his harness on to the lifelines?!  I’m not 
sure they had a decent marine/sailing consultant on the film; or maybe they 
ignored him/her…
 
I’m posting this to the list for further bashing.   :^)
