1985. 20/20 ABC news, an introduction from Barbara Walters about what proves to be a joint effort, Hugh Downs and Geraldo Rivera participating in a yacht race from Cape Cod to Bermuda.
We look back at Hugh Downs personal history with sailing before moving on to details of the race itself.
As the clip continues we see the power and allure of the sea, the gulf stream, whales dolphins and much more. The realities of 8 men sharing a ship the size of New Wave also become apparent.
Although the race results prove less than desirable,, this proves to be a fascinating voyage on the high seas.
