Sailing Moods shows a sailing voyage adventure of a small crew sailing from Newport Beach, California to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. No narration, only a music score featuring the music of native cultures along their trip. We see the crew setting sails, navigating, cleaning and steering the boat. They visit islands with shores filled with elephant seals and sea lions, trade with local lobstermen, fish for tuna, and toast champagne during their trip.
