My favorite series right now are "Sailing Zatara" about a Texas family, and "Mothership Adrift" about a family from Brighton, England.

Mothership is particularly cool from the perspective that the mother is the better sailor of the couple. Her husband is no slouch, and his mechanical maintenance contributions are critical, but she is more the driving force.

Unfortunately, with these video series, you really have to invest time to appreciate what's happening. The stories are told in 10 to 30 minute chunks over years of voyage.

But for some reason lately, watching an episode or three has become my evening entertainment.
