Touring Monterey…While Fixing Luna Moth
After a long sail to Monterey, on which the autopilot broke, and a rough night at anchor, we settled into Monterey’s municipal marina to recover a little. With Luna Moth secure on an end tie, we decided to not look at our mechanical problems for 24 hours and instead go for a walk around town…

South to Monterey
After about a week in Half Moon Bay, we found a good weather window to sail to our next destination, Monterey. What time of day to leave was a little tricky as the days were getting shorter, morning fog and fishing made leaving early difficult, and we didn’t want to arrive at our next anchorage…

Relaxing in Half Moon Bay
After finally getting Luna Moth back out on the ocean, and sailing south to Half Moon Bay, we decided to just relax for a few days and enjoy our first calm anchorage. We had visited the town a couple of times before by car, but this time we enjoyed it at a different pace, soaking…

Out the Gate
On August 26th, after a rolly night in Richardson’s Bay, we got up at 0600 to finally start heading south. Our plan was to take advantage of a ebb tide to gain help from the current, but do it early enough in the morning that the wind through the slot (stretch of water starting at…

Owl Harbor to Emeryville
We left Owl Harbor Marina to head out of the Sacramento Delta back on July 23rd, after using it as a home base for projects for over a year. We made a lot of friends there, making it an emotional departure. We’ll miss the friends we made there, and especially are little furry friend, Captain…

A Bit of Catching Up…
We haven’t been writing over the last year plus as we’ve been so deep in project mode that we’ve found it hard to justify working on the blog, but hopefully we’ll have a little more time for it now. As a quick catch up, we left Aeolian in March of 2024, after the dock broke…

As A Blind Person…
Tiffany here discussing some of the most common questions I receive on a weekly basis as a blind person. And not only a blind person but a blind person living on a sailboat. One of the top questions I get asked is how do you use a computer? I cannot count the number of times…

Shake Down-Part One
After three years of working on Luna Moth, and completing over 280 projects ourselves, we finally were able to start our shake-down process. While there will always be a to-do list, we felt that at this point things were “done enough”, as Lisa puts it, to take our girl out of her slip to explore…

Battery Combiners, Why They’re Evil, and What You Can Do to Replace Them (Lisa’s Tech Corner #1)
Today Lisa takes over the Luna Moth blog for her first Tech Corner post. While our blog is generally going to be about life on board, often touching on aspects unique to blind sailing, this series will be a lot more technical in nature, with deep dives into the details of various boat systems and…

Blind Chef in the Galley
I have always loved food and cooking. However, in my classes on adapted cooking as a blind person they didn’t teach me how to cook on a boat in a tiny galley where your home and your stove could be moving. I have learned a lot about how to live on a boat over the…
