It's a new year and many folks have been polishing their resolutions. For most that might mean a new diet, a cooking class or spending more time with family. Forty-one year old Brian Murphy isn't trying to lose weight. He's decided on something a bit more dramatic. After a lifetime as a Maine lobsterman, he's pursuing a new life as a practitioner of Capoeira, the Brazilian martial art. He recently set off on a solo trip aboard his twenty-six foot sailboat that he hopes will take him all the way to Brazil. Nancy Rosenbaum and Joshua Gleason bring us his story.
