    MASTERFUL in many ways sir. Thanks! For those watching that haven't heard his books on Audible, give them a listen. They're narrated by him and are absolutely brilliant. If you happen to read this captain, a how-to book on sailing/passage making would be most welcome!! You certainly have a knack for instruction.

    I love thelonius monk, and have always wanted to go sailing. sadly my crumbling body would never allow this now. But thanks so much for giving me the chance to sail along with you.
    I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
    And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
    And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
    And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
    I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
    Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
    And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
    And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
    I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
    To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
    And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
    And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

    If you ever sail up to Vermont I would love to day sail with you on Lake Champlain, let me know! I've got experience sailing a Hobie 16'er but that was exhilarating as heck. Hiking out in the trapeze line and flying a hull is sheer heaven, only if I don't go too far and capsize.

    Due to the lockdown I am not busy. I watched beginning to end. I am on a SV of sorts, my living room, my in-home office, my kitchen. The scenery does not change much. Because of my age no one comes in. Family calls frequently, kids leave packages on the doorstep. I take my BMW motorcycle for spins in the country. The bike has a 160 hp engine which is like a middle school boy with a serious case of ADHD. Though it gets me out and relaxes me some it has a kinetic level of energy that doesn't lend itself to smooth jazz. My horizon on my little "house boat" is my fences and mature upper midwest species of hardwood trees. For 35 minutes and forty-four seconds my horizon became endless, the Pacific Ocean. Gliding along with you was well worth my time investment. Thelonious is a wonderful dream machine and Thelonious Monk an artist supreme. Thank you for taking the time to put this montage of sailing experinece together for me. I had time. I will get busy again at some point in the future. When I do...I'll take the time to watch it again. Be ever so cautious now on land. You and I are in the Covid19 bullseye. I so want to see another trip to Hawaii or even day sails with your friends and family.

    FINALLY! A sailor who knows how to TRIM HIS SAILS PROPERLY in a RUclips video. I'm especially impressed by the nice flat reefed main and jib. I learned to sail as a child in the 1970s from my grandmother who learned to sail, well, in the age of sail! She was born in the early 1900s, and learned to sail as a child back east in Long Island.
    The first thing I learned was how to steer using a tiller and "shoot a mooring" under sail, because her boat, a Rhodes 19, was engineless. The second thing I learned was how to trim a sail properly (she was a racer). To her, even the hint of luffing in a headsail was an unpardonable SIN. She would always point out the boats with well trimmed sails with admiration, and had disdain for any careless skippers who allowed luffs to wrinkle, or leeches to flog.
    It's maddening to see young crews sailing across oceans without a clue about sail trim. It's especially frustrating to watch them and their boats struggle though storms with flogging baggy "reefed" mains. The problem is always the same - not enough tension on the clew due to an improper lead angle on the down-haul, so the foot of the sail rises off the boom.
    Your sails look great - nice and flat. Well done!

    Santa Monica is my favorite place in the whole world. When I would walk along the park my eyes poured over the ocean. Seeing majestic sunsets was the highlight. It cast a fiery river of orange over the sea as it went down and filled the whole sky with a buzzing orange light that faded to reds and pinks. I remember seeing Sailboats in the distance. I often wondered what they were up too; or who the hell was out there having such a damn good time without me! I may have seen you Christian sailing peacefully on a peaceful day. Thank you so much for taking us all along sailing with you. It seems like a break from the real world. You have wisdom pouring out of you and it's fun to catch them as your videos play on.
