Cap’n Fatty Goodlander supposes we’re all intrigued with the neighborhoods we grow up in, and he grew up in Oceanus.
I knew before buying Ganesh that she’d need to be repowered; that was one of the reasons her price was right. The only questions were when and how?
A young Cap’n Fatty and his mother, Marie Goodlander, the Sea Siren, were right at home aboard their schooner Elizabeth. At 94, Marie proves she still can handle the helm when she joins Fatty and Carolyn for a sail aboard their new boat, Ganesh.
Back in the Lesser Antilles, Fatty hails an old friend.
Monitoring One’s Progress Toward the Loony Bin: On a quest for self-steerage, our intrepid do-it-yourselfers attempt the impossible in the most unfeasible manner. On Watch from the December 2012 issue of Cruising World.
Call it fate, karma, or kismet. Call it whatever you like, but some encounters, and the sails that turn up with them, are meant to be. From our October 2012 issue.
A free-WiFi discovery in Yap kindles a writer’s windfall of sorts, and that, in turn, launches the search for The Boat. On Watch from our September 2012 issue.
Fatty tells a winter’s tale–well, many of them, really–about an off-season spent mainly in a mostly empty marina in Turkey’s Antalya province. On Watch from our August 2011 issue.
Having sailed the fraught waters of the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden just months before the crew of the U.S.-flagged Quest, the Cap’n reflects on pirates, murder, and good cruising folk.
Long before world cruising on Wild Card, Fatty got his start in sailing in just the way that many kids do.
The Cap’n enjoys a hands-on Euro sensitivity-training course, of sorts.
