Description

When 115 sailing yachts set out from Australia's Sydney Harbor for the 54th Annual Sydney-to-Hobart ocean classic, the mood was festive. In the next 48 hours, a monster storm would strike, destroying yachts, washing scores of sailors overboard into 80-foot seas, killing six and spurring Australia's largest sea rescue ever. A Hard Chance traces the fateful collision course between that violent storm and the world-class sailors and racing yachts that would bear its fury. As the storm unleashes its power, A Hard Chance amplifies the sea of terror that rescuers and racers overcame through skill and raw courage to save their boats and crews.

    Elle Macpherson said this great quote: "I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn't ashamed of being tall. But I don't wear them any more because you don't have to wear heels to be beautiful. I can't even remember the last time I wore heels." I was 5'11'' by the time I was 15, and ever since then I've dodged questions about my basketball playing, volleyball playing or modeling ab...

    Proper footwear is essential on the tennis court. Using a shoe not designed for the game is a twisted or broken ankle waiting to happen.
