The Seashore
A study of the seashore in mid-coast Maine.
Yaku: water; aya: essence, blood. Yakuaya is a non-verbal documentary about the descent of water and life that follows the journey of a drop of water from its birth on a glacier until its arrival at the sea. Along the way, water influences the life of a peasant, locks himself in the rhythm of a bottling factory, brings people together in the city, transforms the life of a woman, leads a river navigator, awakens hope in a desert and welcomes the innocence of two children in the sea.

The vessel is Infinity, a 120-foot hand-built sailboat, crewed by a band of miscreants. The journey, an 8,000 mile Pacific crossing from New Zealand to Patagonia, with a stop in Antarctica. Unlike all the other boats heading to the Southern Ocean, Infinity is no ice-reinforced super-yacht crewed by professional sailors; rather, Infinity lives in the moment and sails on a whim. What can be found in abundance on board is blood, sweat, enthusiasm, risk tolerance, disdain for authority, and an ample supply of alcohol – all in all a mad voyage of reckless adventure just for the sheer joy of it. Along the way the crew will battle a hurricane of ice in the Ross Sea, assist the radical environmental group Sea Shepherd in their fight with illegal whalers, and tear every sail they have. At the heart of their journey is a quest for awe and a sense of wonder with the raw power of the natural world.
