December 2009

Seasons Greetings One and All!

We hope you are enjoying this festive time of year and are making uplifting plans for the seasons to come.

What's New
Following a delightful fall cruise around the Chesapeake Bay on the east coast of the USA, Paul and I are back ashore in Canada working in the Shard Multimedia studio on post-production of the season 6 episodes of the Distant Shores TV series.

Distant Shores broadcast in over 200 countries
Although it's snowing where we are and there are Christmas carols playing on the radio, we're immersed in images and sounds of tropical places as we work with our production team to edit, script, and narrate new shows to entertain you in the New Year. These new shows will be broadcast in over 200 countries this winter. See “Distant Shores on TV” on www.distantshores.ca for more information. Note: Season 6 episodes will be available on DVD when the television broadcast is concluded.

New Distant Shores Superpack DVD Collection – All 65 episodes!
Have you missed any of the previous seasons of Distant Shores on TV? Did you loan your Distant Shores disks to friends and never got them back? Or watched them so often you've worn them out and need fresh ones?? Just in time for the gift-giving season the new SUPER-PACK with all 65 episodes from Seasons 1 to 5 is now available on our online store. Hours of inspiring and educational sailing fun! Super savings too!
