Win a Prize, Protect the Oceans!
Win A Prize! Read all the way to find out how to win and how to support One Simple Question. Every morning that I have electricity, counter-space, and a freezer, is a special morning. These are luxuries you start to appreciate more when you lack for them in life aboard a boat. And only when I [...]

How Do You See The Ocean?
Ben and I heard of this amazing film festival that is focused entirely around one topic….the OCEAN! And since we are also making a film about the ocean, we decided we would try to attend.
