349 boats behind the Eight Ball

I can't stand Sperry Topsiders. It's not that they are bad boat shoes, on the contrary, they are excellent on the boat. Otherwise, why would so many sailors wear them?And that's the problem, many many sailors do wear them and not just to sail in. They wear them everywhere like...

So I’ve been home in Melbourne for the last couple of weeks… Staying with friends, couch hopping… But something is missing… Constellation is nowhere to be seen.

Nearing Australia, I saw another sailing vessel and radioed to ask if they knew whether Customs ran 24hrs or not. The radio crackled, “Customs? Where are you coming from, over?” … “Tonga” … “Tonga? Please repeat, over”, “Tonga, in the south Pacific” … “Oh.” The message was relayed to the VMR...
We’re home at last. In 743 days.
It was a long final passage from Tonga… I don’t really even know how long. I left sometime in October, and I arrived yesterday. I don’t count days anymore, and I think in this last passage I made my peace with many things. I spent several hours every single day...
The sailing thus far, has for the most part been idyllic. I say for the most part, because the last 48 hours have verged more on the miserable scale of things than anything else. Passing 160 nautical miles (around 300km) south of New Caledonia, I decided to ask the weathermen...
My recent posts have been rather anguished. I’ve been in a very odd state of mind, there is no doubt about it. Someone left a comment on my last post saying I was sounding more and more like Moitessier. And he wondered if that was a good thing or a...
Tomorrow I haul up the anchor, and set sail for Australia, nonstop from Vava’u, Tonga. The counter on this website indicates that I’ve been doing this sailing thing for 765 days. That sounds like a lot. In fact, it’s so many days, that I’m going nonstop because I’m out of...
