It was a television hit over 40 years ago that inspired many people to take up sailing and cruising. Each season, for four years, you could join Captain Adam Troy aboard his 82 ft. schooner, Tiki, carrying passengers and cargo throughout the South Pacific. There were romantic, exotic adventures in Tahiti, Hawaii and the Polynesian Islands. Well the famous 1959 to1962 TV show is now available on three DVD sets. Nearly all of the episodes are captured on eight DVDs that are in each set, with a total of twenty-four TV shows per set. The charismatic Gardner Mckay stars as Captain Troy and has support from numerous guest stars and famous character actors of the time such as Tuesday Weld, Claude Akins, Lon Channey, Eva Gabor, Carroll O’Conner, Vincent Price, vince Edwards, Gina Rowlands and many more. Troy, a veteran of the Korean War, became involved in all kinds of adventures featuring fortune hunters and freebooters as well as a host of beautiful women. The series is in black & white but you don’t need much imagination to see the turquoise blues of the South Pacific and the swaying green coconut palms. The compelling stories are very well written by James Michner and guest writers. The series was based on Michner’s book Tales of the South Pacific. We find this a relaxing, refreshing enjoyable series. If you’re not sure, buy the first set and you’ll be hooked. |

Geoff Hunt:
Portrait of a Marine Artist
(DVD) Price $29.95 This visually stunning documentary offers rare insight into the brilliant artist who painted all twenty-one covers for Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels. This is not your typical documentary. SEA~TV was given total access to Geoff's art and his studio to record everything from his creative process to his painting technique. This production offers rare insight into the workings of a world class artist and his association with Patrick O'Brian. Geoff Hunt's engaging personality puts the viewer on a personal level with the artist as he tells how he first heard about Patrick O'Brian to how he was chosen to be the artist honored with painting all of the classic book covers. He chronicles his evolution from a book cover illustrator to become one of the top marine fine artists in the world today. While we are certain this documentary will thrill
the millions of O'Brian readers, we also expect to attract an entirely
new audience to art, history and the literature of the Age of Sail
and the Napoleonic wars. This is a high quality production that
is visually appealing and informative while fascinating enough to
make you want to see more. |

Geoff
Hunt:Painting in the Studio (DVD) Price $19.95 During production of the documentary, Geoff Hunt: Portrait of a Marine Artist, SEA~TV was allowed full access to Hunt's studio. During two days of the production Geoff allowed a rare, candid shoot of his work in progress. Geoff was beginning the sketch for a painting, which would ultimately be titled First Shots. It depicts the first cannon shots fired at Lord Nelson's ship, Victory, as it approached the famous Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. In Geoff Hunt: Painting in the Studio, we join Geoff as he is sketching and then he goes on to begin painting the ship, the sails, the sky and the sea. He describes his technique and explains how he builds a painting and achieves the accuracy and detail. Then we see him six months later at work on the final painting. This video also contains commentary from marine art expert and gallery owner, J. Russell Jinishian. It is a rare chance to watch a world-class artist create a painting in its crucial formative stages and see how it emerges into the final painting.

Tristan saw the vulnerability of Communism during this voyage and predicted the fall of the Communist leaders and the triumph of democracy long before most Westerners ever realized that it might possibly happen. He also experienced the dangers of sailing in such a region when the Czech harbor police set-up a collision that nearly sank Outward Leg.
