Where are we?

Website last updated on: May13, 2006

So begins the saga of the S/V Moxie and me, her trusty tender, Dawn Treader. Moxie and I first met Dale when Dale and Paul Krier traveled to Port Townsend to meet our old owners, Brandon and Shannon Davis.  Dale’s eyes, when he first saw us, lit up with excitement and anticipation as his mind drifted to far-off shores and distant places that Moxie had already journeyed, many years ago.  Moxie and I knew in an instant that our lives were about to change.  Once more was Moxie going to sail the seas, fill her sails with the Winds of the Trades and go Voyaging in search of adventure with Dale, Debra, Austin and other adventurous members of the crew.  No longer would we have to haul people around the San Juan Islands and Puget Sound, motor sailing from place to place, never to be free in the open oceans of the world to explore and dream.

What's next?  Somewhere around the end of April or early May, 2006,  Moxie will leave New Zealand, head a couple of degrees south and pick up the route of the Clipper Ships as she heads east until about 155-160 degrees west and then turn north picking up Rapa in the Southern Australs and then keep heading ever northward thru the Gambiers, Southern Tuamotus, the Marquesas and then finally Hawaii before the return to the West Coast sometime in mid July.  I will endeavor to finish updating all of the logs and places before we leave New Zealand so don't give up just give me time.  For those who have visited these pages and sent me a hello, if I haven't answered you, I will.  Best of wishes for the coming year and just remember,  dreams can come true but sometimes you have to give them a little help.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe
harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
