Morning Light Page #10

Synopsis: Fifteen young sailors... six months of intense training... one chance at the brass ring. This documentary tells the story of a group of intrepid and determined young men and women, on the cusp of adulthood, as they embark on life's first great adventure. Racing a high-performance 52-foot sloop in the TRANSPAC, the most revered of open-ocean sailing competitions, the crew of "Morning Light" matches wits and skills in a dramatic 2300 mile showdown against top professionals. From their earliest training sessions in Hawaii conducted by world-class teachers through their test of endurance on the high seas, they form an unbreakable bond in the process of becoming a singular team that is greater than the sum of its parts.

It's a long distance and a lot goes on.

[Towill] The biggest thing

I learned from the project

has just been the real value in teamwork

and how special it is

when 15 people can come together

and accomplish something

that no one of us

could have done on our own.

The days you go out

and everything goes the way you planned

and everything goes perfectly,

you learn nothing from.

It's the days you go out

then everything falls apart,

that's when you learn the most.

And I really learned that

in a very literal way on Morning Light

and really kind of changed

my whole outlook on life.

[Kane] You realize

what's important to you.

To be able to pack my whole life

in a small bag for ten days,

just those things

and being on the ocean,

was probably the happiest

ten days of my life.

[Branning] Being on an ocean

is about as close

as you can put together

peace and fear.

It's absolutely peaceful

and it's just so beautiful...

... but, man,

it can go bad pretty quickly.

I think we were about as well prepared

as we could be for anything.

[Manson] You...

You realize, out on the ocean,

it's... it's a different type of life,

and it gives you a new respect.

Kind of hard to explain.

It's like you feel in power,

like you've conquered somethin'

that you know a lot of people

haven't had the chance to do.

You feel very fortunate

at the same time.

[Wilmot] Pretty much what

Morning Light did for me

is it opened a lot

of boundaries that I had.

My grades have improved at college,

my work has improved on land

and now I feel like

I can just get out there

and anything that I apply myself,

I can do.

[Fielding] You know,

whenever I see my teammates,

they'll always be

these special people to me.

We could be in the middle

of New York City,

we could be in Shanghai,

we could be hikin' on a mountain,

and we're still gonna have a connection

that no one else around us shares,

and that's a special feeling.

[# Long Time Coming]

[cheers]

[laugh] Take two!
