The witty narration style of these videos makes this channel one of my favourites on RUclips! Safe sailing, Christian!
I would pour a dash of spirits into the sea for good measure
I’m selfishly excited that you’re going again. Another book would be a kindness; I’ve memorized Alone Together and Philosophy. Your cooperation will be deeply appreciated. Fair winds.
I am hoping for another book also!!! I have read the first two twice each
Me gusta mucho
I 'accidentally' discovered Philosophy of Sailing on Audible, 3 days ago, which I have just finished listening to! What a delight! And now I want to go sailing! And yes now going to download and listen to Alone Together.
Glad to see you enjoying life
Bon voyage, Christian. Loved your secret smile at the end "I have done everything I could, everything is in the hands now of, well, me" :-)
Godspeed Christian.
Have a safe journey Christian.
It's a complicated expression that last one. Anxiety, humour, inevitability and a veiled determination. The look of someone that's impressed how much trouble he gotten himself in for. Thank you for the inspiration and fair winds.
Can't wait to see your upcoming videos. Have a safe trip, bon voyage.
Fantastic. Can’t wait to see the journey
Love your vids! Perfect timing
I can't wait to see the video. Have a great crossing!

Safe travels! I can't wait to see the footage!
You’re an inspiration. Have a good trip.
You Sir are truly a hero! Have a safe travel and enjoy your time out in the water. Can’t wait for this trip video!
Looking forward to the trip, the sailing footage, the commentary, and your unique spin on the experience.
I haven’t been this excited in a while! Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us! Your last two trips are like a favorite song- I can listen (watch) over and over and it never gets tiresome!
Top class stuff, as usual, Christian! Good luck and will be watching your crossing and return videos with bated breath. Fair winds, sir.
I love your combination of imparting useful knowledge in a rather poetic way! Always look forward to your videos!
What a lovely surprise!! Have a great trip, looking forward to whatever you share.
Awesome. Can't wait. Have a safe trip. I love these videos.
Happy to see you back on the high seas. Glad you're back at it. Enjoy

Awesome and innovative adds to the boat - very McGyver like. Safe journey! Can’t wait for the videos.

Admiration and appreciation to you for your continued excellence in documenting your passion for sailing Sir Christian Williams.

Have a safe and enjoyable trip! Your wooden steering vane rudder looks beautiful!
I'm so excited to learn you're going on another voyage! And like Ms. McKenna says below in her comments, I am also selfishly excited to believe another great book describing your voyage hopefully will be coming after your return. Of course, of equal pleasure will be watching your videos. Fair winds and following seas!

Love your videos! Been watching for a couple years. Looking forward to the next one
"I have done everything I could, everything is in the hands now of, well, me" well said and true! Looking forward to watching you're voyage! Fair winds from Redondo Beach
May you have many red sky nights for your sailing delight! Thank you for taking us on your journey via RUclips. Godspeed Christian!
I love this channel! So excited to watch Christian sail again! INSPIRATIONAL! "The great philosopher." Mentor!
At last ! We were all secretly expecting that (I guess).
A complete trilogy. And a new book to come ?
Thank you for taking us with you on your crossing to come.
Bon vent, Monsieur Williams :-)
May your travels to and from be met with safe passage as well fill any voids that need filling take care Capt. Looking forward to the next episode and thank you for sharing…
Best of luck, sir. I've had several inspirations via RUclips for my recent decision (two years ago) to once again buy a boat (my 1987 Norseman 400, Blue Venture) but your single-handed Hawaii passage videos were the first and among the most powerful (quietly powerful). I recently moved her to the East coast via 2000 nm of sailing plus a truck-aided portage from San Diego to Seabrook, TX. Thanks for all of the great content!!
Great news Christian !!!! That's the spirit !! Fair winds and good trip. The good Gods of sailing be in your favour !! Don't forget to let us know when you step on dry land at the end of the adventure !!! Cheers from Muros
Bon Voyage!! Be Safe & Can’t wait to follow up on your next video!
cant wait to see another video.. love all the others
Delighted to read that Thelonius is now in Oahu... heartened to understand Christian is there as well! Thanks for sharing the noon position reports in the description -- I'm just in awe again.
I love your videos, thank you!
Wonderful news. Stay safe Mr Williams and enjoy 🇬🇧
Really looking forward to your journey!
Fair winds christian, I'm envious of your solitude, enjoy it while you can.
Excellent news. This will sustain us through a Southern Hemisphere and NZ winter
Always a great pleasure to see and hear you -- you single-handedly mitigate all the dreck on the internet. Awaiting your second trip to Hawai'i!
Have safe voyage, and we will keep you in our prayers.
Very awesome, sir. I’m sure this time around will be as interesting as the last. Fair winds.
God Speed, Captain. Safe travels along the way and until you arrive our golden coasts of Hawaii Nei. 🤙
Godspeed and please have a safe journey.
Thanks for sharing, Skipper.
you're an inspiration, good luck!
Love watching your videos and waint for the next. Follower from Brazil. Fair winds
May the good winds take you and bring you back with a new book for us!
You’re such an inspiration for tons of us!
Cheers from a Brazilian fan on the Bay Area of San Francisco, CA!
There's a great pleasure to see a boat set up for voyaging by someone that clearly knows the art and craft of such an undertaking.
Have a great passage Cap Williams!
I think I am seeing a lifetime of ideas and upgrades to make a better boat. Bravo!
Watching from my first full day on the Big Island. I flew, but dreaming of one day sailing my '81 Hunter 33 over here from SF! Safe travels Christian!
Safe travels Christian. You've inspired me to take my first sailing lesson, this summer. Here in the UK we have the RYA and I'll be qualified to level 1 and 2. I can't wait, but I must say you highlight how much there is to learn!
Fair winds and good sailing and cool jazz. Bonaventure.
You are a sailor after my own heart. Fair winds.
Bon Voyage! I will be listening to your audiobook as you sail off to chase the sunset
So excited for you. Safe travels.
Have a safe journey! Fair winds, Christian.
Enjoy your adventure, cheers to you brave Christian!
Safe journey Christian. Very glad to see that you're back at it! I'll echo Dawn's earlier comment... I've memorized Alone Together and Philosophy. Two of my favorite reads. Cheers!
Christian you are an inspiration to get out there. Thank you. Fair Winds.
Why is this best sailing channel? This man can write and speak well.
Love these videos. I'm preparing my lil sailboat for my first "long" journey, and I kinda like the preparation phase. Will soon enough find out if it was enough.
Fair winds and following seas Sir. Have a good adventure!
Looking like a million bucks my friend, happy and safe travels!!!
excellent post ,,safe trip Christian ,looking forward to videos of your trip and especially your commentary, cheers from Ireland
I love the addition of the fuel gauge, just so that we could see you bemoan the fact that you have been trained never to trust one. I love it:) You are the best. Fair winds!!
All the very best Christian. Enjoy your trip, keep safe and I look forward to your tales of adventure on your return.
Mr Williams, your videos are always enjoyable and educational. Thank you for taking us along on your journeys! MP in Venice Beach.
Safe travels, fair seas, and a stiff breeze!
The hero we needed is back!!!!
Outstanding!
I bought Philosophy of Sailing from Audible and loved it. Bought Alone together in a hardback for the boat library. Many years ago, I bought your Ted Turner bio and really enjoyed it as I was a fan of his sailing accomplishments. You are a truly gifted writer. You sailing videos are motivating me to keep my sailboat skills and goals on track. Sailing has give me more joy and contentment than any other activity and you have contributed to that process. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and sailing life with us.
Damn you’re headed out already! Have a safe trip Christian.
Sensei has returned.
