HEAVEN!!! I have watched this over and over. This is how I imagine heaven to be, if it were an actual place....wild, beautiful, unabandoned joy. Thank you for allowing us to share these fantastic adventures.
@@SailorJames Bula James. New subbie here. Im from there Savusavu area .. a village up the Hibiscus highway , but live now in San Francisco Cali. Enjoying your videos and sailing the seas through your eyes 😁😁😁👍✌️👊✊️ i hope youll sail and visit Taveuni which is closeby - Fijis volcanic Garden island with tonnes of waterfalls and amazing diving spots & unique flora & fauna. Its where the 180 meridian ( used to ) run through as well. And when ya done, maybe a sail to the western side of Viti levu to Nadi & the Mamanuca islands shoot site of movies like Blue Lagoon & Tom Hanks Castaway. Tonnes of small resorty beautiful islands n torqoise waters out there. Btw the 2nd Blue Lagoon was shot on Taveuni with Milla Jovovich. First was with Brooke Shields and shot at Turtle Island in the Mamanucas. Happy Sailing Sir ! Take care and God Bless !!!
The innocence of the children going to the waterfall is beautiful. So active, playful, and joyful. This is something we rarely see with American children anymore.❤
A really wholesome episode with the waterfall and local kids. So great to see the 100k coming so quickly. I think the spiders were 'stretch spiders' (nickname) - a type of long-jawed orb weaver spider, but unfortunately I'm no David Attenborough.
James I love how you film the fauna and close up surroundings where ever you are. It's beautiful. Your passion for Polynesian life and culture is captured perfectly by your videos. This is such a joy to watch. You have such a nice friendly demeanour about you as well. You are very pro stuff rather than anti stuff. It's so refreshing.
Watching the kids at the waterfall made my day. And that plate of Veggie Fried Rice made me hungry. As James would say, "I'm super stoked". Loved the content.
Totoka dina! I had the privilege of staying and volunteering in Vuadomo village this summer, so this is really nice to look back and see the waterfall again. :-)
Yeah! Another Monday Saver. Got through an hour long MRI this morning knowing this was waiting for me! The falls were beautiful. Reminded me of Dominican Republic and places in Mexico. Peace Sean
@@SailorJames LOL We uses miles in the UK same as you do in America but then we use metric for everything else. So when i went to school we learnt both systems. Can he helpful when traveling around. But yeah for a rough conversion from KMs and you want miles multiply by .6 so 18x.6.
You are doing it right. And we in the US/UK think that we are it. Wrong! I have sailed to so many places as you and seen the life that people have. A good life. Those kids weren’t suffering. Ha ha.
Hi friend Michael ear, I was just thinking I don't think it was jewel of the Nile ,but rather romancing the stone. So anyways have a great time ,wherever you're at and be safe and be inspired.
Well - I dont think you spotted too many birds given how enthusiastic your guides were - But the sound of their joy as they played in the waterfall more than made up for it.
I really enjoyed this video as it brought back memories of a trip I took to Taveuni, Fiji several years ago. Your hike with those children just made me smile - they were filled with pure JOY showing you the way and then getting to show off for you. They look so beautiful and healthy. One thing I remember about the people of Fiji is their beautiful teeth! Candy was pretty much non-existent where I went and the locals just had the most beautiful teeth - straight and bright white! Thanks for an awesome video!
Amazing waterfall and enjoy your sailing in and around the islands. Good to see you getting some will deserved rest. Enjoy and look forward to your next video.
Sublime James...man that waterfall was amazing, I was thinking what a wonderful place to grow up in, wow. Thank so much for another fabulous journey into the S.Pacific....safe travels bro
Man I can't believe this is your job. I'm not saying it is or was easy. I know you busted your hump to get to this point and to keep Triteia seaworthy. But man, the rewards! Fantastic!
What a beautiful,and happy bunch of children. What a great video. Those spiders we have at our water areas and boats in Canada . with their long legs gives them the ability to walk on water. I'm sure they walk in the little ponds formed by the running water.
James, I resonate with your attitude about spending the money with local communities and not stressing about being 'shafted' because in our terms it really isn't too much. Too often in our culture we get furious about being charged too much and it is justified because it is just plain greed. In these communities they are just adding 30-40% because they know you can afford it and they are just trying to get a good feed for the family. No reason to stress or be bitter because you will lose out more from the bad feelings.
Such a great time at that waterfall and swimming hole. I smiled the whole time. I lived on Oahu for a few years and have traveled to the Yucatan Peninsula and Panama and a few places in the Middle East and it reminded me of that. I am happy for you brother! Life is an adventure, and an adventure is a journey with risk. Much Aloha!
That was SO AWESOME to see you and Sam Houston together!!!!! I was so surprised and it was a GREAT jam session about sailing. Just makes me want to join the sailing community even more. Great people that look out for each other!!
That was terrific! I bet you slept well after your big day, and with a full belly of vege rice, yum. So nice to hear you were offered some free time in a taxi on your return, it sort of made up abit for you being over-charged. Fiji sure is beautiful and has a good vibe. So looking forward to seeing more of the place. Expecting to see a stegosaurus come walking out of the jungle (I don't think they ever lived in Fiji though). Happy Sails.
I really enjoy seeing these. I grew up in Hawaii and New Zealand, and was an archaeologist in Hawaii, so it’s fun to see you visit areas I learned about when I studied anthropology / archaeology at UH. Thanks !
Reminds me that when I was a five year old kid, I'd be diving for pennies or sixpences in 30' deep water in Suva Harbour down near the markets. Passengers and crew on passenger or cargo ships. I would have been the only white kid amongst Fijian and Indian kids. Kids being kids was fun. God knows where our mothers were.
Awesome stuff James' . I have followed you on your journey (Following in my foot steps) and pleased to note you say it as it is , respectful to other countries and there culture. I never had the privilege of GoPro or Smart phone technology when I sailed these waters as as technology never sleeps , different variations of capturing footage is abundant. Please let the followers inn on camera and equipment you shoot footage with . Downloading apps etc. I'm sure it would be appreciated by many people who are contemplating making there own videos one day. Keep it up Buddy and respect you and your endeavors.
Man I don’t know what it is about you but I like you. You seem like a good soul. I love the videos too man I hope you all the success in the world. I know for a FACT success is coming if it already hasn’t come. because you have such a unique thing going on here. Please keep pushing I know this shits going to take off for you. Maybe one day you can do some upgrades to your boat or even buy a new one.
This is one of the most authentic and wonderful videos of seen 😊Did you have Kava Kava? It’s kinda cool. I used to go to Kava bar in California 🍻 what are the white dots on the rock?
Hey James it's your Aries brother in dana point ca!!! I didn't know exactly when your birthday is but I want to wish you happy birthday my friend God bless!! Mine is April 1st tomorrow haha
@@SailorJames aaww thank you James that meant the world to me! You're the first one to wish me happy birthday from the future haha I love your show and I love you be safe God bless!

id pay for an episode of just rain on the boat. that ending was incredibly relaxing.
💯 he could just set up a camera with a view in the rainfall and voilà. Sailing Triteia ASMR. That's music to fall asleep to.
The waterfall scene is so heartwarming, with children having genuine fun and not a smart phone in sight. Love this episode, James.
HEAVEN!!! I have watched this over and over. This is how I imagine heaven to be, if it were an actual place....wild, beautiful, unabandoned joy. Thank you for allowing us to share these fantastic adventures.
Fantastic to see kids being kids... and not what we see day to day in normal western culture where they are all staring at screens these days.
It will always be one of my favorite memories!
Agreed

I LOVED this one James 😊 Thank you for taking me there! Much love
The smile on your face at the waterfall. Priceless.
It was magic
just kids doing kid things. How cool. That waterfall scene might be one of my favorite things I've seen on youtube.
Crazy to think about those kids being born into a village in the wild like that. What a different kind of life from anything we could ever imagine ❤
I hope my children are able to find the same happiness in America that these children have at Vaudomo waterfall.
Me and my brothers found this same joy raising hell in the dusty fields of New Mexico growing up, and I am grateful for it.
So jealous, your are living many people’s dreams and you seem to know that and are enjoying it like you should. Much love and safe travels.
That waterfall was good vibes. Made me smile you were blessed to have all those kids with you.
All of those children having fun with you in the waterfall.❤
Living the dream mate, love your take on the sailing vlog.
Thank you for the time and effort you put in to let us come along with you for these adventures.
Laughter of children ❤🎉
Nothing better !!!
I start off by smashing the like button because it’s always good.
I was just thinking that you look much healthier than you did a year ago. I’m happy things are going great for you man.
Hardest working sailor out there. Enjoy your clips, absolutely awesome!

Had a big smile on my face for most of this episode. Thanks James
Paradise and joy, under foot! Your entourage to the falls, so uplifting! How could you resist a walk in that lush place. Thank you for sharing it all
Watching the kids at the waterfall made my day. And that plate of Veggie Fried Rice made me hungry. As James would say, "I'm super stoked". Loved the content.
Those kids were awesome and it was a joy to watch it ... thanks for sharing, James!
Those kids are so fortunate. Compares to the kids living in the modern countries. Thanks for the ride James.

Creeping up on 100k subscribers, James, and VERY well deserved! Cheers, mate! :)
Uplifting video! Thanks.Scenery well recorded and mesmerizing.
You spoil us with content… superb as ever.
18kms is more like 11 miles.
That explains the long walk back 😂

Awesome!!
Awesome waterfall adventure James! Loved the Fijian mini-lesson too! May fair winds be with you my friend!🌬⛵
Man I can't believe this is your job. I'm not saying it is or was easy. I know you busted your hump to get to this point and to keep Triteia seaworthy. But man, the rewards! Fantastic!
I seriously say that every day 😂
So nice to see clean, clear water. No chemical plants on the islands? Would love to escape to South Pacific! Great video, James!
Ahhhh what peace and harmony do we have here today🙏🏾 absolutely beautiful love it James ⛵️
Thanks for sharing this adventure 💞
Awesome! What a cool place.
Beautiful very cool place !

Amazing !!! Love the way you make the videos!
I got married at Tony Robbins Resort , Flew there all the way from Texas. Namalie I think It Was . Fijians nicest people in the World. 👍
James, I resonate with your attitude about spending the money with local communities and not stressing about being 'shafted' because in our terms it really isn't too much. Too often in our culture we get furious about being charged too much and it is justified because it is just plain greed.

Great video! thanks for sharing. really pretty.
Bula!
South Pacific (Polynesia/Melanesia) is my favourite realm.
Wow! Thank you for sharing this incredible experience.
That was SO AWESOME to see you and Sam Houston together!!!!! I was so surprised and it was a GREAT jam session about sailing. Just makes me want to join the sailing community even more. Great people that look out for each other!!

I'm looking at some of those same flowers in my yard herein S Louisiana as you filmed by the falls. Iris and others.
Peace
truly a fanatstic sight. These are really the things you often want to enjoy in life.
I just found your channel and I'm mesmerized! really makes me want to do some more adventuring
