We’d like to think the “sailing film” Kinski was preparing for was ''Fitzcarraldo'' but, alas, the dates don’t quite match (the accident happened on December 8th 1982; The film was released nine months earlier) and it seems that Kinski never made his sailing film.

Moitessier’s official story, repeated in his autobiography, is that as the storm blew up, and Moitessier struggled to save the situation, Kinski became quarrelsome, Moitessier order him off the boat, Kinski refused to go — well, you can just imagine, can’t you. Did Moitessier pull a flare-gun on him? The reality, as retold by Charles Doane, was that when Lyn and Larry Oardey fetched up in Cabo San Lucas, Moitessier instantly confessed that he and Kinski had been up in a hotel room partying their brains out while the ''Joshua'' was driven ashore untended. | |||
