NORSA sends EOTW on its way!

NORSAites Steven and Andrew traveled to Hampton, VA to see off the Eye of the World Crew on their around-the-world voyage.

Unfortunately, the weather turned very bad, very fast. Fast-thinking Andrew emphatically announced an imminent "white squall" to a nervously laughing crew:



Adam fired up the engines and ran on deck to steer the ship clear of trouble. But, alas, something went wrong:




Footage of the actual white squall was lost when the camera got wet (footage on the video card from before the squall didn't get wet).

NORSA has been contacted by Hollywood Pictures to make a film based on the incident. Adam is played by Jeff Bridges. Here is early footage of the movie: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6khjd_white-squall-1996_shortfilms

The boat doesn't fare so well in the movie, but this is purely Hollywood embellishment of a minor incident. The actual voyage of the EOTW crew can be followed here http://www.eyeotw.org/
