Absolutely magnificent
Carl,
Having no prior knowledge of you or your seasoned sailing experience, Bills posts had me on the edge of my seat – praying for your safety. I had visions of you sailing out into the great abyss in a small sailboat and your only link to civilization was via an archaic communication device attached to a computer. You sounded like a madman to me…!
Reading thru your web site was very enjoyable, thank you for sharing it with us. And thank you Bill for candidly posting Carl’s adventure, it was a great read.
By the way Carl, do you go for swims in the Ocean when you are far off land? Did your dog ever jump into the water after the big fish? Was that you in the buff?
Warmest Regards,
Helen
Ships Log – Carl.
I just wandered over to the timeout section and found that Bill had been posting some of my log entries – I wasn’t aware that they were posted over here – the entries were more so that my family and close friends can keep up with progress. All the entries...
Welcome back, Carl
What an adventure you had! The interior of the boat look quite cosy from the photos, but I wouldn't be able to spend more than a few days in it. What are your plans for future trips? - SJX

Sorry about Winston. When I read the original post I thought it was a maritime reference that I didn't understand :-( Beautiful Yaht. Where did the name Indigo Moth come from? Best, Mike
Indigo Moth
I purchased her in the US and there was no way I could fly anything but a red ensign! (the British nautical flag) - I also needed a name change (and be damned with the bad luck). So I applied to the British small ships register for the name Moth (I realiz...

I've been under the boat when offshore -
and it is a really eerie feeling as you peer down into the depths knowing that there is nothing for thousands of feet. I used to windsurf in the North Sea - the local sea was quite brown (due to river sediment in the water) and the visibility was probably...
If I’m the only one who saw the moon, guess I’m just lucky like that.
Carl, Don’t you worry about running into pirates? That kind of thing is coming back into style. Hope you have some way to protect your wife and self. Did you see the movie “White Squall”? I like it almost as much as I like “Captains Courageous”. Good movi...
I'm very impressed....
Hi Carl, Such wonderful trips (or a permanent trip) on board such a boat, that's heaven!! Your boat is definitely my kind of boat!! Enjoy and sail in safe winds. Dje
Heaven indeed!
I was hand steering, beautiful sailing weather, a good breeze and sunny, nothing on the horizon. I was thinking to myself that I'll always be able to treasure this moment. A large wave slapped the bows sent up a wall of water and I got completely drenched...
