Bob Griffith sailed into Honolulu Harbor in 1960 and met fellow iconoclast Nancy Hirsch. From that

moment they were wedded to the sea. Steering their 53-foot cutter Awahnee to places no small boat had

been before, they spent decades navigating the relentless pull of family and adventure. Combining recent

interviews with exquisitely textured archival 16-millimeter film—shot by Nancy, on location from Antarctica

to Polynesia, in the 1960s and 1970s—Following Seas is not only a story of world records and sailing

feats, but of a family who truly lived a self-determined life and made the sacrifices their dream demanded.
