Coming soon. COVID is still in full effect in most places. Please be patient, we are working on it, promise. Nobody wants to get back to sailing more than me, brother. It's been 9 MONTHS since I've had my own boat! I'm going a little land crazy if you can't tell. Please stick in there with me, I'm making moves but it's like swimming through peanut butter. I'm lucky I have a captain's license, makes it easier to move around. Much love.
@@walkertongdee His last boat literally cracked in half. You expect him to crap a new boat just like that, give the man a little patience. I think he's earned it, with all the quality content him a and Kim have put out.
Man, this is by far the best sailing series I've seen - I'm going to re-watch all 4 parts again and I have never done that on any channel ever. Great editing, great narrative, and lots of goodies in-between. Impressive.
I thoroughly enjoy every episode you post, but my favorites far and away are the ones that cover long crossings. Its the best way to get a glimpse of what it is actually like, even if only partially. Keep it up.
Nice video! Well you asked what would I do and the answer is I did it also. My boss needed his Cascade 36 brought back from Hawaii to Portland Oregon. The crew was three of us and wow what an awesome trip. The awesome part was I had never in my life been on a sailboat at age 57. The love of my life and I have since taken sailing lessons once she heard what I had done. Haha, backwards I know and are looking forward to buying our own boat in the near future. I guess once you've experienced the freedom from the rat race you only dream of getting that feeling back again. Cheers to your trip and thank you for sharing!
I watch a lot of channels. Have you ever thought of teaching people how to sail? I want to buy a sailboat and while I have a farm and outdoors background, and been on different power boats, I have never sailed. I am sure I am not the only one that would be happy to pay you to spend a week teaching me the critical parts. Your knowledge is second to none, and your passion for sailing makes it so exciting to watch and learn from. You could probably even put together a "Learn to Sail" video series and sell them. Lots of people have knowledge, few have the passion to make it exciting.
I've thought about putting together a coarse. Firstly, though, I have a responsibility to the people that contributed to the new boat. Believe it or not it's taken up a good portion of my time. Once I get in the groove of cruising again I'll have more free time to work on other projects. I think it would be fun, but I know it would be a year of work. If you're seriously interested contact me and we can work something out.
Just found your channel today.Fantastic!!! I loved it!! y'all make a great crew. I learned many very good lessons and gained some great ideas watching all four episodes. I plan on incorporating some of what I have learned on my own "smaller" sailboat. One thing I might pass on to you guy's that I have learned. That is when you have landed your fish on deck instead of beating the fish with your mallet causing a mess to your boat and teak decks. Along with the nothing less than heroic fish hook injury. And having done nearly the same thing. I rolled out of my bunk to go on watch and the pole stowed on the deck beneath me. The boat rolled I stumbled getting dressed and stepped on the pole then drove the hook threw the bottom of my foot and with some help from my shipmate he pushed and twisted the hook and my foot so he could cut off the barb then back the hook threw my foot and out the same way that it came in. and for the rest of the voyage I hobbled around the boat with a galley sponge taped to the bottom of my foot. Lesson Learned. So latter I was taught to poor some Alcohol into the fishes gills. The fish almost instantly gets drunk and passes out. Then with a very sharp knife you take off his head. The fish does not suffer very long and you save yourself from serious injury and the boat remains much cleaner. Just something I found that works. Thank you again for a great evening watching your documentary of the voyage!!
What a great bunch of folks......Seems like sailors are just a happy, adventurous, optimistic group and to somebody from landlocked Wyoming, I like that....I have, however, been on a 28` Buccaneer in SF Bay and sailed under the GG Bridge....I have flown over it in a Cessna 182, walked across it, Sailed under it, ridden a bicycle across it, and, of course, driven across it....So that bucket list is pretty much complete.
Scared & wet is when you learn what you’re made of, laddies! GREAT series - thanks for sharing with us. Looking forward to the new Zing 2 and hearing from Kimmi again.
You just get the impression gear and lines just we're not maintained by the owner as the should've, thankfully you were there! It doesn't look as if many upgrades were done since the boat first splashed. Big risk in an unforgiving beautiful ocean. Keep at it, good vid. Thx
Love your channel! For everyone asking about the new boat and Kimmy, I predict you will get a new boat when your able and ready and kimmy will return when she is able and ready. Until then keep on keeping on brother! The Channel will live on! It’s in your blood!
1984 Mason 63, a 63½' staysail ketch, awesome boat. Alvin Mason designed the boat after a long successful boat design career. He was able to use the best of the best of all his design experience. You guys had her tuned to perfection. Were going pretty fast for a 16½' beam, 64,400lb monohull. (James's new Oyster 485 weighs 37,550 or 26,850 less than the Mason!! Mason has 1,592ft^2 of sail area and Oyster 485 has 960ft^2, difference of 632ft^2... and the Oyster is a huge boat! The Mason is just huger!!) She's so beautiful and very safe with her long keel and 7' draft and 15,000lbs of ballast! (Oyster 485 has 1,300lbs of ballast...with such a huge discrepancy, there must be some significant design difference between the two boats that doesn't make comparing ballast weight valid) Absolutely massive boat! Great passage, I dream of days and nights and wind and seas like that. Keep up the wonderful videos, they're extremely time consuming for you so, much appreciated!
Great videos you are so knowledgable and jovial i hope you get your boat and the other crew members help to make it memorable so don't sail alone. Thanks
14:00 the best way that I have found to fix screws that have pulled out is to dip toothpicks into glue and shove them into the existing hole. Let the glue set for a couple of hours and screw back in. Will last until the end of time.
@Ronald Reed I grew up at the beach with one parent half the time and the other half I lived with the other in the mountains. I've also lived on a 165 ft. gaff rigged schooner called TeVega that is now called Deva for 11 1/2 months. I grew up sailing and racing small boats and love the water man lifestyle. Now I live on a river but the sounds are different and I'm thinking of selling once I finish building it with my own hands and purchasing raw land in the Puget Sound on the water and building another as well as possibly building a Schionning catamaran.
I sympathize with you in those rough seas, wholeheartedly! Here is why. The scariest time in my life was in a 180 foot round bottom ship (buoy tender) in a storm with over 100 knot winds and 25 foot seas (and sometimes higher). Quite often we would be looking up at the top of the waves 10 to 15 feet ABOVE us being down in the trough and the bridge was 20 feet above the water line (you figure it out). It was one of the Nor-Easters off of the Cape Hatteras North Carolina coast (they are infamous up that way). We actually lost the anemometer, It broke and blew off the stick while it was pegged at 100 knots - just the wires dangling was all that was left. The surfce search radar antenna buckled and bent down sideways. At one point the clinometer had us at 52 degrees to the starboard and we stayed there for close to a minute. We were sure that we were going over all the way. That would have been the deaths of a 76 man crew for sure. I was on the bridge holding on to the steel cable trays above my head as was the Quartermaster on watch, both of us staring at the clinometer frozen with fear. The seaman on watch at the wheel was tied in with nylon lines to keep him in front of the wheel. There was no other way he could have stayed there. It was like that for 3 hours before it settled down to under 60 knots and 10 to 12 foot seas. The ocean can be a very rough master.
Beautiful boat knew a shiprwright in my teenage years who told me alot about Masons. Never really had the chance to see a Mason sail. Really enjoyed watching this filming series. I hope to see many more boats like this on your channel. :)
Enjoyed the passage, you did a great job of being in charge, the owners daughter and her boyfriend looked like competent crew, great trip! hope to see you Kimmie back on the water together soon, if that is happening?
Hey Captain! Perhaps a crazy idea, to better portray the wave movements let the camera move freely on a gimbal. You should be able to use the gimbal on the drone if you strap the drone to the deck. 🎥
that was a fantastic series James! f'in loved it. Great crew. Your videos were entertaining as well as informative. Really good job. Hope things are going well on the boat hunting side. All the best!
Jake is a 2x4...a true stud. 😂😂😂 If you ever make it down to New Orleans, I’ll take you to Avery Island, the home of Tabasco. One of my favorite blue water boats is the Mason 44’. Beautiful well made go anywhere boats. You need crew for that big Mason, but It has too many complicated systems. Great boat to crew on. 😜😜😜👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
I have bought merch/and I have donated to your patron, I watched 84 hours of RUclips last week and your the only channel I've ever wanted to send money....Please update us on Kim. Thank you
I'm impressed that you were using Tabasco sauce. Louisiana's finest. They make that stuff right near my home. God bless and smoother sailing.... I enjoy all of your videos. EJ in Louisiana.
Man I crossed a small section of the Atlantic Ocean and those waves were unrelenting and terrifying. I believe on God Almighty 100 %. Marvellous works .
Great show James! I’ve been driving my wife nuts with dreams and aspirations to sail, then she suggested I take a class. Uhm, it’s like seriously expensive($850 person 3 day) but I might do it anyways. I could see you being a great teacher. Stay safe brother.
Finished my first 3 month trip as a deck officer on a handy max bulk carrier. Two months in we ran out of tabasco then I was told no milk for coffee, i feel your pain.
So this series of the nice monohull is great, but what happened to the main story line? You guys were the first, that I have found, to sail to Pitcairn which is at the top of my bucket list and then this million dollar boat series pops in. are we going to see more of Pitcairn? My dream
My favorite part of this video is them discussing Jake's hooked leg, and the big arrow pointing to a link that never appears. I laughed pretty hard at that. S'ok, I've seen it, and I look forward to your videos every week.
Best weather apps. Of course you must have an Iritium for weather, text and all but the best set up we find most useful to use in the cockpit are 2 ipads. Side by side with one set on Navionics and the other set on Satellite imagery because it shows every single piece of land, sea and coral and everything else on this planet! Sometimes Nav shows our boat on land when clearly its in the water but Satellite imagery is spot on! We like a big screen for both as to be able to zoom in and out. Also, so one can double as a screen so we can watch a movie. I just wanted to share. Didn't know your whole set up. Maybe you two can check it out on "BOTH" your new boat ⛵ and see what ya both think! As i watched the "LIVE" of you two telling the tragic story of how the events unfolded, all I could think of is how terrified you both must have been. Yet somehow you both faught back while being battered and beaten by the sea. Fighting with all your might, both worn out but you still managed to winch the boat halves back together with every piece of rope you had. Hours later after refusing help by the coastguard to hoist you up in the air to safety. You somehow udured hour after hour of raging seas...still fighting to hold Zingaro together all while being held hostage by the mercy of the seas during those hours of praying that the sight of land would appear. At the same time as you were seeing nothing but sawdust and water splashing everywhere! The cracking and grinding of the boat, Im certain it sounded like something out of a big budget movie. They need to do one! Or at least a short documentary. Or a show like they do thats called "I SHOULDN'T HAVE SURVIVED." THAT WOULD BE AWESOME AND THE MONEY WOULD SURE HELP IN SECURING YOU BOTH YOUR NEW BOAT WITHOUT HAVING A LOAN. THAT WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU BOTH. ILL BE PRAYING THAT COMES YOUR WAY. How brave you both were all while being tossed and knocked about and all this happening at night. I cant even imagine. Still after such harrowing act to save each other lives and live to tell us all about it today, it is a defeat in it's self. I'm sure Kimmi's family would gladly call you, James, their hero! For you saved her life. And from what we've heard of our Golden goddess and the fight she fought that night, I'm sure James parents feel the same heroism in Kimmi. You both obviously were determined to bring Zingaro home and that my friends....you did! 👏 👏 👏 WHAT COURAGE! MY HEART WENT OUT TO KIMMI. WHAT A TROOPER SHE WAS! SHE'S STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL and TUFF AS NAILS AND HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF COURAGE. MOST GIRLS WOULD HAVE LEFT IN THE CHOPPER! SHOWS HER LOVE FOR NOT ONLY YOU AND ZINGARO BUT FOR THE SEA, AND ALL THAT DWELLS IN IT AND ADVENTURE! I BET KIMMI CAN KITE?? AS MUCH AS SHE LOVES AND TAKES TO THE WATER, I BET SHE WOULD GIVE YOU A GOOD RACE JAMES. BY THE WAY, DO YOU GUYS HAVE AN ANGLER FREEZER? I THINK THATS THE NAME OF IT,NOT SURE BUT MOST KATS NKW A DAYS COME WITH A FRIDGE AND FREEZER. ESPECIALLY IF ITS THE OWNERS VERSION. WELL, I SEE AND HEAR OF LOTS OF FOLKS USING BOTH AS A REFRIGERATOR THEN ADDING THE ANGLAR TO USE AS THEIR FREEZER. YOU NEED A GOOD FREEZER TO STORE UP ENOUGH FOOD FOR LO NG PASSAGES AND ESPECIALLY IF YOUR FISHING. THE ANGLER USES HARDLY ANY BATTERY JUST LIKE THE FRIDGES. GET YOURSELVES EVERYTHING YOU CAN ON IT BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN...YOU WILL WISH YOU HAD. GET THE 3 BURNER STOVE TOP AS WELL. YOU PUT ONE BIG POT ON AND THERES NO ROOM LEFT FOR ANOTHER POT SO GO AHEAD AND GET YOU A 3 BURNER. 2 IS OK IF COOKING FOR JUST YOU TWO BUT IF YOU HAVE CREW, YOU FIND HAVING A 3RD BURNER AND PLENTY OF FRIDGE AND FREEZER SPACE MAKES THINGS SO MUCH EASIER AND NICER FOR YOUR GUEST. WHETHER FAMILY, FRIENDS, PATREONS OR ANOTHER MOTELY CREW MEMBER 😆 😂 🤣 MAKES EVERYTHING SO MUCH EASIER. KIMMI AND JAMES, I HOPE YOU TWO GET "YOUR" NEW BOAT SOON! I'M MISSING YOU ON ZINGARO ALREADY!!! GET EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT SINCE IT'S GOTTA LAST A LONG TIME. I KNOW YOU LOVE THE SEA LIFE SO GET IT LOADED JUST LIKE YOUD WANT IN A HOUSE SINCE IT WILL LITERALLY BE YOUR NEW 🏡 =⛵ HURRY BACK SOON. STAY SAFE UNTIL THEN. GOD BLESS AND KEEP THESE TWO AS THEY SET OUT ON THEIR NEW BOAT AND THEIR NEXT BIG ADVENTURE :)
When and where is Kimmy and the new boat dude ??
channel tanked dude its bogus now

Perhaps the same thing is happening here.

@@thelastpirate Well done for actually replying. Means a lot. I get what you are saying. Look fwd. to the future x
Great crew, great boat, great footage, great voyage. Thanks for taking us along!
Man, this is by far the best sailing series I've seen - I'm going to re-watch all 4 parts again and I have never done that on any channel ever. Great editing, great narrative, and lots of goodies in-between. Impressive.
James, your captain and crew are people without many words. Glad you had a great time!
Nice to see everyone still in a good mood at the end of the sail. Sounds like you all had fun.
I really like Mark, seems like a very solid dude.
I believe the best part of this presentation (although it was all awesome) was the debrief. Lots to learn in the discussion!
Definitely looks like a wholesome trip! I actually loved the mix of entertainment while at the same time giving a lot of information 👍
I really can’t wait for you to have a boat. Thanks for getting this and letting us ride along! 🤙❤️
sweet. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share.
Great episodes of the Pacific passage. Navigating, sailing, cooking, laughing. You could crew on my boat anytime, if I had one.
Fantastic series, James. Real good.
I thoroughly enjoy every episode you post, but my favorites far and away are the ones that cover long crossings. Its the best way to get a glimpse of what it is actually like, even if only partially. Keep it up.
Great series! All the best with your new boat and adventures to come! I Can't wait !
I think these videos are your best work. Awesome trip.
Thanks James , one of your best .
This has been just a superb series :)
Kinda funny most people say it's hard to film the waves....I been out there in big rollers and waves. Trust me I can see it!! Well done guys!!
Hey James. Nice to see you're makin the most of things. Stay patient with the boat search Captain!
Nice video! Well you asked what would I do and the answer is I did it also. My boss needed his Cascade 36 brought back from Hawaii to Portland Oregon.

The ocean swell shots are amazing. Nice job filming
That was awesome James!
What a great bunch of folks......Seems like sailors are just a happy, adventurous, optimistic group and to somebody from landlocked Wyoming, I like that....I have, however, been on a 28` Buccaneer in SF Bay and sailed under the GG Bridge....I have flown over it in a Cessna 182, walked across it, Sailed under it, ridden a bicycle across it, and, of course, driven across it....So that bucket list is pretty much complete.
Best 4 videos on an already great channel.
Scared & wet is when you learn what you’re made of, laddies! GREAT series - thanks for sharing with us. Looking forward to the new Zing 2 and hearing from Kimmi again.
You just get the impression gear and lines just we're not maintained by the owner as the should've, thankfully you were there! It doesn't look as if many upgrades were done since the boat first splashed. Big risk in an unforgiving beautiful ocean. Keep at it, good vid. Thx
One of a best movie of a passage I have ever seen .. amazing crew .. amazing boat .. amazing video !!!
Love your channel! For everyone asking about the new boat and Kimmy, I predict you will get a new boat when your able and ready and kimmy will return when she is able and ready. Until then keep on keeping on brother! The Channel will live on! It’s in your blood!

Great videos you are so knowledgable and jovial i hope you get your boat and the other crew members help to make it memorable so don't sail alone. Thanks
Cool series man
really like the boat
Nice gratuitous nod to the Captain Ron that's a great movie
14:00 the best way that I have found to fix screws that have pulled out is to dip toothpicks into glue and shove them into the existing hole. Let the glue set for a couple of hours and screw back in. Will last until the end of time.
that's Interesting... yeah because you really don't wanna go with a bigger screw.
Great series! Mark looks like he wants another adventure. Don’t sell it Mark!
AWESOME your vids are incredibly entertaining James
I love that sound of sitting in a harbor and hearing the fog horn and birds.
@Ronald Reed I grew up at the beach with one parent half the time and the other half I lived with the other in the mountains.

Great job Captain ...
Glad you got out of the PNW before all the wildfire smoke hit and is now being blown clear over to Japan
Great video! Thanks for making it. I've done some freshwater/ coastal sailing and looking forward to an offshore trip in the future. Great info!
The Pacific is a space junk dropping zone, so you probably saw space debris coming down. Love the videos and keep them coming!
Planning ahead with reefs really paid off!
Beautiful boat knew a shiprwright in my teenage years who told me alot about Masons. Never really had the chance to see a Mason sail. Really enjoyed watching this filming series. I hope to see many more boats like this on your channel. :)
excellent. narration was perfect.. fair winds.. g

I love the sound of Seagulls in background.
very cool! great commentary, and great crew!

Fantastic video and crew!
Nice vid and iridium info etc. Dont know why but more ads in this than any other youtube video Ive ever watched.
Great series! Hope to see more adventures in the future. Thanks
I'm impressed that you were using Tabasco sauce. Louisiana's finest. They make that stuff right near my home. God bless and smoother sailing.... I enjoy all of your videos. EJ in Louisiana.
What a beautiful ⛵ boat
Amazing videos!
New sub here. Big fan. Can't wait to see you with a new boat and adventures. Cheers.
really liked the end~...................

Man I crossed a small section of the Atlantic Ocean and those waves were unrelenting and terrifying. I believe on God Almighty 100 %.
Marvellous works .
What an adventure
Nice crew and boat
Great passage movie, thanks 👍🏻
The air horn incident had me in tears. Thanks for a belly laugh. At the time, I'm sure it wasn't funny with a damn.
The smell of San Francisco and Oakland! Yeck!
this was a great episode
Well done man really enjoyed that cheers
Just want to inform the owner there is this synthetic teak called Kool Teak. It will make the deck a few degrees cooler.
Great show James! I’ve been driving my wife nuts with dreams and aspirations to sail, then she suggested I take a class. Uhm, it’s like seriously expensive($850 person 3 day) but I might do it anyways. I could see you being a great teacher. Stay safe brother.
Finished my first 3 month trip as a deck officer on a handy max bulk carrier. Two months in we ran out of tabasco then I was told no milk for coffee, i feel your pain.
Peace James , Good luck.
That piece of #FoodOnMyFace was really your last hit of of that magic hot sauce. I know you were saving it for later....LOL

As i watched the "LIVE" of you two telling the tragic story of how the events unfolded, all I could think of is how terrified you both must have been. Yet somehow you both faught back while being battered and beaten by the sea. Fighting with all your might, both worn out but you still managed to winch the boat halves back together with every piece of rope you had. Hours later after refusing help by the coastguard to hoist you up in the air to safety. You somehow udured hour after hour of raging seas...still fighting to hold Zingaro together all while being held hostage by the mercy of the seas during those hours of praying that the sight of land would appear. At the same time as you were seeing nothing but sawdust and water splashing everywhere! The cracking and grinding of the boat, Im certain it sounded like something out of a big budget movie. They need to do one! Or at least a short documentary. Or a show like they do thats called "I SHOULDN'T HAVE SURVIVED." THAT WOULD BE AWESOME AND THE MONEY WOULD SURE HELP IN SECURING YOU BOTH YOUR NEW BOAT WITHOUT HAVING A LOAN. THAT WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU BOTH. ILL BE PRAYING THAT COMES YOUR WAY. How brave you both were all while being tossed and knocked about and all this happening at night. I cant even imagine. Still after such harrowing act to save each other lives and live to tell us all about it today, it is a defeat in it's self. I'm sure Kimmi's family would gladly call you, James, their hero! For you saved her life. And from what we've heard of our Golden goddess and the fight she fought that night, I'm sure James parents feel the same heroism in Kimmi. You both obviously were determined to bring Zingaro home and that my friends....you did! 👏 👏 👏
WHAT COURAGE! MY HEART WENT OUT TO KIMMI. WHAT A TROOPER SHE WAS! SHE'S STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL and TUFF AS NAILS AND HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF COURAGE. MOST GIRLS WOULD HAVE LEFT IN THE CHOPPER! SHOWS HER LOVE FOR NOT ONLY YOU AND ZINGARO BUT FOR THE SEA, AND ALL THAT DWELLS IN IT AND ADVENTURE! I BET KIMMI CAN KITE?? AS MUCH AS SHE LOVES AND TAKES TO THE WATER, I BET SHE WOULD GIVE YOU A GOOD RACE JAMES.
BY THE WAY, DO YOU GUYS HAVE AN ANGLER FREEZER? I THINK THATS THE NAME OF IT,NOT SURE BUT MOST KATS NKW A DAYS COME WITH A FRIDGE AND FREEZER. ESPECIALLY IF ITS THE OWNERS VERSION. WELL, I SEE AND HEAR OF LOTS OF FOLKS USING BOTH AS A REFRIGERATOR THEN ADDING THE ANGLAR TO USE AS THEIR FREEZER. YOU NEED A GOOD FREEZER TO STORE UP ENOUGH FOOD FOR LO NG PASSAGES AND ESPECIALLY IF YOUR FISHING. THE ANGLER USES HARDLY ANY BATTERY JUST LIKE THE FRIDGES. GET YOURSELVES EVERYTHING YOU CAN ON IT BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN...YOU WILL WISH YOU HAD. GET THE 3 BURNER STOVE TOP AS WELL. YOU PUT ONE BIG POT ON AND THERES NO ROOM LEFT FOR ANOTHER POT SO GO AHEAD AND GET YOU A 3 BURNER. 2 IS OK IF COOKING FOR JUST YOU TWO BUT IF YOU HAVE CREW, YOU FIND HAVING A 3RD BURNER AND PLENTY OF FRIDGE AND FREEZER SPACE MAKES THINGS SO MUCH EASIER AND NICER FOR YOUR GUEST. WHETHER FAMILY, FRIENDS, PATREONS OR ANOTHER MOTELY CREW MEMBER 😆 😂 🤣 MAKES EVERYTHING SO MUCH EASIER.
KIMMI AND JAMES, I HOPE YOU TWO GET "YOUR" NEW BOAT SOON! I'M MISSING YOU ON ZINGARO ALREADY!!! GET EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT SINCE IT'S GOTTA LAST A LONG TIME. I KNOW YOU LOVE THE SEA LIFE SO GET IT LOADED JUST LIKE YOUD WANT IN A HOUSE SINCE IT WILL LITERALLY BE YOUR NEW 🏡 =⛵
HURRY BACK SOON.
STAY SAFE UNTIL THEN.
GOD BLESS AND KEEP THESE TWO AS THEY SET OUT ON THEIR NEW BOAT AND THEIR NEXT BIG ADVENTURE :)
They say you must feed your face? Now I know what they mean. Great video. PS How is Kimmy?
Great video!
Wish we had that west wind here in Oregon. I'm suffocating!
I could literally feel the wind......
Just ordered my copy of Voyage. Make sure to get your commission off that order.
He asked you 2 times to confirm it’s near the fuel dock, and you ignored him....great team work
Oman, the CAPTAIN decides what to do, not the owner or the team, the fuel dock is not a consideration after 3000 miles at sea.
