00:06This is going to be an epic story, this is going to be our favorite story, how it all began.
00:25It's a 2300 mile race from Los Angeles to Honolulu.
00:28It's one of the premier ocean racing events in the world.
00:31It's extremely difficult to get into, but Roy Disney wanted to give young people a chance
00:35to compete.
00:37A call went out for interested applicants.
00:40Kids applied in droves.
00:42At day one, I never touched the front of the boat.
00:46We all wanted a chance to prove ourselves, to race against the best.
00:51You're on the team.
00:52Oh my gosh!
00:53No way!
00:56A dream come true for me.
00:57It was like I just won the lottery or something.
01:00We gave them the keys to this stripped out racing machine.
01:04It's your boat now.
01:05You are the guys who are going to make it real.
01:09You've got to definitely want it more than everyone else.
01:12Few and far between actually break into the ranks.
01:15It's almost impossible.
01:16All I want from you.
01:20Beyond good luck, be careful.
01:23Say you're coming home.
01:25I just want to see you at the end in Hawaii when you're there safe and sound.
01:30Let's get these guys.
01:34Yeah, we are going to have a good time, but we all need to be thinking that, hey, we got
01:38a shot at this.
01:41It's pretty clear that they're going to come into it saying, bring it on.
01:45As sunset last night, we could see 10, 15 boats, and now we've got no one in sight.
01:57We don't really know where our competitors are because all the tracking devices are lost or malfunctioning.
02:11This boat is kind of the center of the earth for us.
02:13You know, these three members, they're everything.
02:18Emotional rollercoaster through and through this bloody race.
