The live intro and movie are now available as a replay below.

From the stormy seas of Cape Horn to the wilds of the Sahara Desert, few modern sailors have seen more adventures nor inspired more dreams than Larry Pardey. Sailing more than 200,000 miles and circumnavigating both east-about and west-about in engine-free boats he built himself, co-authoring 12 books and creating 5 videos, Larry has been called “the Enabler” and “the man who launched 50,000 dreams.” The Real Deal is an intimate profile created by Mike Anderson, video producer, boatbuilder, and a longtime friend of Larry Pardey. The crux of the tale is the Pardey’s voyage to and around Cape Horn, the so-called “Mt. Everest of Sailing.” Along with at-sea footage, interviews with a variety of friends and associates, and archival film clips and photographs, the story is narrated via quotes from sailing writer Herb McCormick’s critically acclaimed biography of the couple, As Long as It’s Fun.

I am curious if the charm that Lin is wearing represents Orcas island in the San Juan Islanda?
Hello to all, That film on Larry & Lin Pardey last evening was absolutely wonderful – in every way. Thank you to all who made it possible, and especially to you Lin. We met once in Cushing, ME years back when you & Larry purchased a bit of used traditional bronze hardware! With all best wishes, Bill Page
