Morning Light
Morning Light is the name of a speedy sailing ship with the raison d’etre of streaking from California to Hawaii in a race called TRANSPAC. The ship belongs to Roy E. Disney who nowadays is a live ringer for his Uncle Walt Disney’s reanimated cryogenically frozen head. In his lifetime he’s done the race 19 times and won it in 1999. Now he’s out to be the benefactor for a handful of kids hovering around the 20 year old mark. From many only 15 are chosen and of those only 11 will be tapped to train and compete in the perilous 2500 mile race across a Pacific no mans land. More than an after school special but not quite a reality show, aboard Morning Light we see the team gel and mature over a 6 month training period and through some truly amazing cinematography spend 10 days on the high seas with them as they impressively hold their own and triumph against professional sailors.
