Jessica Watson (OAM) navigated some of the world’s most remote oceans and survived seven knockdowns and 210 days alone at sea to become the youngest person to sail solo, nonstop around the world, aged 16. On completion of the voyage, Jessica was met by the then Prime Minister who declared her an Australian hero. In a simple speech that won admiration across Australian and around the world, she responded to the Prime Minister by announcing that she disagreed with him, that she didn’t consider herself a hero—just an 'ordinary person, who had a dream, worked hard at it and proved that anything really is possible'. Jessica currently lives in Buderim Australia.

We left behind our lives in Scotland to set sail around the world on our catamaran, Indioko. We have been pushing our limits and exploring the seas together with the goal of sharing the people and places that inspire us. Our journey began in Scotland, just as the pandemic broke out in 2020. We sold everything, purchased a one way ticket to the other side of the world with the intention of buying a boat. Only, it wasn't to be that simple. After initial disappointment, we hitchhiked on other boats throughout the Caribbean and even lived in a shipping container for a while before we finally found Indioko. The name comes from the Ancient Greek meaning ‘In Pursuit’…we know we are chasing something but we don’t necessarily know what.

We sail Full Moon, a Catalina 34. Most of the time we are in the Albemarle Sound. We have taken her to Bermuda and on offshore coastal passages. We have also crewed on Caribbean-bound boats. This web site is an attempt to record the many helpful things that others have shared with us and those things we have learned the hard way about long distance cruising and ocean passage making. Safety, navigation, weather and crew considerations are discussed. Modifications we have made to Full Moon are described and detailed in photographs and drawings.
