SEA STORIES
WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
The Whitbread Round the World Race (known today as the Ocean Race) has always been one of the most grueling endurance feats on earth, perhaps even more so in its early days, given that many of the vessels were production boats, not the high-tech, over-engineered thoroughbred Volvo Ocean 65s that were used. Now in select movie theaters, is the namesake movie that tells the story not only of Edwards’ Whitbread campaign and the hurdles she and her crew faced, but also of the challenging life events she experienced leading up to the big race. (93 minutes, Sony Pictures Classics)
