I’m Alex. I’m not pretty or an accomplished sailor. I don’t have a pension or a deep bank account to rely on. I departed alone one cold February day from the south of France to Barcelona. And continued along the Spanish c...
So one of the most interesting parts of learning to weld and work on shipping containers is that the frame of the container presents a lot of opportunities for easily attaching stuff, like the fence we installed in today's video. BUT, whenever you do serio...
Welcome to a very simple day in the life while living alone on a 30 foot sailboat. Even on the simplest of days, there's never a dull moment aboard Blue Moon.

It's a ...
