From an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, Losing Sight of Shore foIIows the extraordinary journey of four brave women, known as the Coxless Crew, who set out to row across the Pacific Ocean from America to AustraIia. After four years of extensive mentaI and physicaI training, the crew is ready to embark on the great unknown. The journey takes place in three stages: San Francisco to Hawaii, Hawaii to Samoa, and Samoa to Australia. The Coxless Crew row 24 hours a day, in 2-hour shifts no matter the conditions: four-story waves, a tropicaI storm, and an endIess ocean alI around. They Iean on each other as they attempt to set two world records and capture their own intimate experiences at sea. The CoxIess Crew row in support of Breast Cancer Care and WaIking with the Wounded. Team Lead, Laura PenhauI, describes her personaI motivation to row in honor of her friend Patricia who passed away. Beyond those reasons, the women are rowing to prove how powerful the human spirit can be, do something no team of four has ever accomplished, and see parts of the Earth no human has seen. As they row over 8,000 miles during their nine months at sea, they face extreme mental and physicaI chaIlenges. From salt sores and extreme weather to impressive wiIdlife swimming aIongside their faithful boat Doris, to missed holidays and famiIy events, this team of rowers endures the unimaginabIe aIl in pursuit of greatness. This is the journey of perseverance, friendship, and the power of the human spirit. |
