Inside-Outside (9mn extracts of "Huis clos sous les étoiles" 59mn) HQ motionmaker
The incredible atlantic crossing with NO NAVIGATION INSTRUMENTS by the Berque brothers. It means: no compass, no watch, no sextant, no radio or receiver, no charts, no books and no documents, no stove AND no sponsor...
Sailing like the phenicians before Christ ! The subject ? Trying to reach a tiny island on the otherside of the ocean just by EYE-observation of the stars until to find a certain sky of the target-latitude.
The only tool we had was an Argos beacon to keep in memory the track. This beacon prouved that we were + or - 15 nautic-milles of accuracy during the last 10 days before landing in latitude !
