VirtualSailboatShow: Ice Blink Producer, Greg Roscoe
At the 2006, 37th Annual United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis, MD, Greg Roscoe, producer of the sailing documentary, Ice Blink, is interviewed by TheSailingChannel’s President, Tory Salvia. Ice Blink is a remarkable documentary film about a conventional family of five, the Martins, living a very unconventional life afloat. In our exclusive interview with the film’s producer, Greg Roscoe, we learn how he followed the Martin story for many years, finally meeting them after they completed their arctic voyage and settled not far from Greg in Maine. For nearly twenty years, Dave and Jaja Martin cruised the world’s oceans, circumnavigating in a 25-foot boat while having their three children along the way. They are now living ashore following a four-year journey to Greenland, Iceland, and Norway in their 33-foot steel sloop, Driver. Greg tells us how he shaped the Martin’s digital video footage, added family archival photos, and shot new interviews with the couple and their children to create Ice Blink: A Family Navigating Life’s Ice-Clogged Waters.

Sunsail/Paradise Found #6: The Baths
The Flanders family pays a visit to The Baths on Virgin Gorda’s southernmost tip. The Baths is the BVI’s most engaging natural geologic attraction. The Baths consists of building-size boulders that create a series of grottos and pools. Inside its passageways you can almost hear pirates plotting their next conquest. Perhaps you’ll even stumble upon their buried treasure. Moorings and anchorages are available, as well as slips in Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor. Stay tuned for Episode 7, The Baths to Anegada. TheSailingChannel.Com brings Gary Jobson’s outstanding film about sailing the British Virgin Islands to video podcasting. Sunsail, the world’s largest sailing vacation company, wanted to showcase it’s British Virgin Islands fleet. So it ran a contest among its former charter customers.

Sunsail/Paradise Found #5: Nature’s Little Secrets
The Morrisons and Riglers visit Jost Van Dyke and take in some laid back BVI shopping and culture. “No shoes, no shirt, no problem” reads one inviting sign at a local shop. For the inquisitive visitor, the BVI lives up to its motto: Nature’s Little Secrets.” Early mariners from Venezuela were the first to visit the BVIs around the year 900AD. Chris Columbus came ashore on his second voyage in 1493. In the seventeenth century, Pirates found safe haven in the BVI’s many hidden coves. The Spanish and Dutch were the first Europeans to occupy the BVI followed by the British who exported sugar, molasses and rum. Today, the locals still fish and farm, but also participate in the new vacation economy. Stay tuned for Episode 6, The Baths.
