A FIRST CLASS SAILING ADVENTURE
A FIRST CLASS GIFT
Captain Dave
and his family spent eleven years sailing around the world on their
Privilege 39 catamaran, Exit Only. During the trip, the crew of Exit
Only shot 200 hours of video with professional cameras to show people
what it's like to sail on a small boat around the world.
The Red Sea Chronicles is a one hour and twenty-two minute feature
film showing their adventures as Exit Only sails through Pirate
Alley in the Gulf of Aden and up the Red Sea. The professional footage
documents their experiences in Oman, Yemen, Eritrea, Sudan, Egypt, and
the Suez Canal. It chronicles the rigors of traveling in a remote
section of the world rarely visited by cruisers. Exit Only dodges
Yemeni pirates, fights a gale and sand storms in the Bab al Mandeb at
the southern entrance to the Red Sea. The crew explores deserted
islands on the western shores of the Red Sea, and learns to check the
cruising guides for land mines before venturing ashore.
The Red Sea Chronicles also has outstanding Special Features
including an Instructional Video on Storm Management that
tells sailors how to deal with storms at sea.
The Red Sea Chronicles is a first class adventure that stokes the
sailing dreams of both experienced and wannabe sailors alike. Order
your copy of the Red Sea Chronicles and experience the adventures of
Exit Only as they sail around the world and up the Red Sea.

REVIEWS
"Story,
quality, music, people, boat... Just excellent."
"...we
got the DVD yesterday and watched it last night (we had no problem
with the different format at all), what a great adventure and well
put together DVD it was entertaining as well as informative and
funny at times, a great combination. Well done you guys are natural
movie stars, Laura and I watched the DVD twice and I am sure we will
watch it many more times in the future."
"I
hope you guys are going to make more DVD’s of your previous sailing
trips for us to enjoy."
"Amazing...Just watched your dvd The Red Sea Chronicles for the
third time today...I called my boss at home and turned in my
notice...I'm going sailing!"
"The best cruising video to date
from any source and should be on the shelf of every one who shares
the cruising spirit even if only in dreams."
"...a great video that transported
me from a damp, cold day in Wales to cruising aboard Maxing Out in
the Red Sea - pure nectar."
"The only "problem" is that this has left me wanting more of the
same stuff, just from some of the other places Maxing Out has
visited!"
"Thumbs up. I also wish the entire circumnavigation was documented,
but this small portion in the Red Sea is excellent. Well done."
"I just watched the
Red Sea Chronicles and second what all the others have said. I'd
love to see a whole series of Maxing Out DVDs...Good job!"

find a superb local machine shop. As we prepare to leave, fellow
cruisers are attacked by pirates.
