    Back in 1989 when i bought my 30 foot yankee sparkman stephens in hawaii and was planning crossing oceans in 1991,i bought earl hinze book landfalls of paradise while i took a coarse on celestial navigation. I think youre anchored right where he took a picture that jacked my curiosity to maximum overdrive of the south pacific.&I never got there but i did get everywhere else in the south pacific practicly ,eventually.. Fiji being my favorite. That was back before internet and all we had wasTv , books and magazines like cruising world . Gps had only just become available to sailors.. the magellon hand held gps was 5,000.00 . 3 days before i set sail in sept 1991 it went onsale for 2,200.00. I bought it. 3 years later you could buy a garmin gps for 199.00 that was much faster and better. Gps really did change the world. Now everyone can sail the oceans. I got lazy and let my skills for sextent navigation slide after that first year.over the last 30 years i only know 1 yachty who knows how to use a sextant.

    Dude, imagine that uninhabited Motu on a clear, calm, starry, moonlit night. Although I'll probably never see that with my own eyes I'm glad I got to see it through yours and knowing it's there brings me peace to some extent. That's got to be one of the most peaceful places on Earth. You worked hard to get there! Congrats on a safe yet ultimate adventure.

    OK... I just watched when you bought the boat, episode 1. Now I have to watch them all. They're great. I lived on board a Catalina 25' for a few years on the Chesapeake bay and I loved it. Never blue watered. I want to do it again. Thinking back it was the best time of my live.

    10:00 watching the difference between the pounding waves of the open ocean versus the calm waters of the lagoon is kind of disquieting in a weird way. it's when you realize that islands in the ocean aren't just land masses but also the water they encompass...

    James, for better dinghy performance lock the motor, sit on the bow and steer off the bow with an oar. Keep the blade dipped so just a bit is slicing the water then turn the blade in the direction needed and she will turn like a dream. No more wheelies, she will trim perfectly, no more motor vibrating your arm off, and you won't have to steer much leaving hands free for filming. Give it a go, I have been doing this cruising the coast around the Ithsmus and it's much more pleasant.
