Growing up on a boat creates some remarkable experiences for a child.

​On Deck is a documentary that highlights the adventures of a young Declan Birkenheier, when he was raised by his parents on a 52 ft sailboat along with his older brother. Declan and his family made two journeys to the Bahamas during his childhood, sailing down from Canada in month long voyages. This forced Declan to become more resourceful and creative, giving him unique outlooks on what should be valued in life.
