      Don't forget Rhonda, that Manly is well known as a Rugby League city. Btw I'm sure I heard a tui just as you arrived in that little bay.. Or was it my imagination.? Um I guess it's my imagination. Luckily you've arrived at the start of winter, so most of the snakes etc are hibernating, so I guess it's OK to run around barefoot. Again thank you for sharing your adventures. Take care and all the very best from over the ditch. Cheers.

    You're probably too far north now, but Pittwater is the real gem in the sydney area. Sooo much to explore-- but don't tell anyone, they'll all want to come. Also, in NSW, watch out for the water police pulling you over for not wearing a lifejacket in the dinghy. If there is one of you in the dinghy you have to wear a life jacket-- it is not enough to have one in the dinghy-- over $100 fine! I know, I got one! Phil

    Have to give you credit James, I’m sure that last leg of your journey would have been better with Rhonda on board, but you have integrity to your original goal. Sailing that entire distance solo. Many would have folded thinking it would be nothing to have part of your journey with someone else… you didn’t. You accomplished your SOLO journey as planned. Well done mate!
    Welcome aboard Rhonda, you two look very happy!! Good sailing to you both! 🤠👍🏼☮️

      Solo sailing isn’t worse or better, it’s simply different. I do not believe the last three years of my life where lacking because I was single, I was happy and content being alone. This is a new chapter of life with another person and it’s wonderful to share this life with someone you love but it does not mean my previous chapter was “not as good” it was just something different than this new chapter.

    Man I just found your channel and I just want to thank you for giving me some hope. I’m 37yrs old and spent my life working in offices with little to show for it. So many channels like this are people ~10 years younger than me living their dreams and it always makes me feel like I missed my chance. I’ve always been drawn to the ocean but grew up in the Midwest and now live in the AZ desert… so the impossible dream still sort of feels… well.. impossible.
    I have so many questions about how you did this, I still don’t understand how someone can afford to maintain this for months or years at a time without going back to a job at some point. I have an incredible urge to just quit my job and spend all I have saved towards something like this.
    Anyway thanks again just for showing me that there’s still a chance! I hope I can make my 40s as incredible as yours have been.

      @@SailorJames thanks for replying! I actually started watching that series before commenting. I’m still curious what you did for work before making this life change, did you grow up near a coast in LA? I feel like just living near a coast is damn near unattainable these days. I make ~70k a year which used to be decent but now I can’t even afford a mortgage.
      Sorry, I don’t mean to complain lol. I haven’t given up hope or anything and your videos have re-lit that fire in me so thanks again.
      Wherever you are currently please take a minute to just breathe in the ocean air for me, as I sit here staring at this computer screen surrounded by brick walls lol.

    Narration is a great way to add Humor satire and generally take the piss and of course hand over some insightful information :)
    Not in any way to take the wind out of the sails but check out the vlog...Two Wheels Three Sheets. Crazy couple on a bike in latin America.

      No interest in copying another channel. I have made over 400 videos and have a few subscribers so I will stick with my format
