Why? You can pick up a sailing boat for a few thousand dollars, doesn't take much to learn to sail, heck my boat is better than this guy's! 33ft fast single keel ,This guy's no different to the rest of us.
@@bigfoot1917 40fter with full keel and I'm gone to south east Asia and will never return to bullshit America. I don't wanna sail forever , just til I find my paradise with beautiful indigenous women who know how to survive self sustained. Then all the electronic gadgets and gizmos will mean nothing to me anymore.
I could feel that sail between anchorages. The sounds of the lapping water on the hull. The coastal sounds of being close to the shore. Damn that brought back so many memories. And reminded me of how much I miss it. Thanks James
Love your videos really cool to live vicariously. I lived Hawaii for 10 years and never was a sailor but lots of my friends were and are. What would be helpful and cool if you actually explained some of the stuff you said when talking about things that I have NO about and I’m sure most don’t either. This way we can learn small kine sailing stuff while watching too. 😊
So nice to hear from you Melissa! i think mama would have been worried sick about me and this life style but I would have bribed her with sea shells from all over the world 😂
i lived outside las cruces near the organ mnts towards white sands. when we moved from fla to NM, i told my dad i didnt want to go because they had no beaches, he said they had nothing but beaches, just no water :)
thank you for posting the portion of your snorkeling off Lanai. I use to live on the south side of Maui back in 81-84. it blows my mind of how much the Coral reefs are dying off. it saddens my heart of what such a abundant covering of mass coral has disappeared.
Yeah it's been noticeable in the decades I lived in those parts. I imagine that Dole and C&H Sugar are the real culprits, with their use of pesticides and herbicides in the large scale production of pineapple and sugar in the 20th century. The feral pigs also cause massive valley washout when rain hits the West Maui mountains, which settles on the reefs and suffocates them.
Beautiful anchorage, I love solicitude, gives the opportunity to live the moments, appreciate the "simple things" in our planet that many people ignoring blinded by what materialism offers. Thank you sharing. Cheers from Tasmania
I'm probably gonna go this route in next yr or 2. I'm thinking of striking off fully prepared for 2yr journey with alot of island hopping and cove mooring. Going to se asia.
@@jimmystrickland1034 You will love Tasmanian. A place that also will be nice is Selawesi during winter before the cyclone season hits there and the north of Australia
Congrats on your South Pacific passage. I followed your progress every day. You did an amazing job , “Shellback”. Do you have room for a turtle tattoo? Lol
All that volcanic rock, it looks so harsh. Loved seeing the markings to show how the lava spewed out and cooled, fascinating. Yes a beautiful, isolated place, a safe place for the marine life. Thanks again. Happy sails.
Hi I wish I would’ve done more sailing before I lost my leg in a truck accident it’s amazing how something like that changes your life forever but hopefully when I get my prosthetic leg and I will be able to walk around again after four years I might be able to get back on the boat cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia
You can still sail ... 🤞🏼 BTW take a look at a Vlog by Nautistyles sailing a while ago called the Impossible dream. Monohulls are a bit trickier but there are also tall ships that work with people who have mobility issues. Theres one guy and his girlfriend out there who is a double leg amputee after suffering an IED blast living a cruising life. Theres a list of features that make it easier but you can do it .. especially in a place like Australia. 👍🏼🇬🇧⛵
Hello James. Thank you once again for the interesting video. Nice photography and editing. The only thing your videos lack is a consistent audio leveling. The difference between your voice over the camera mic and the random background music is so huge that I always find myself readjusitng the volume. I understand that it is a good idea to keep the voice channel low to avoid wind and background noises getting too strong, but you should consider keeping the music channel lower as well. Since your music selection is quite appealing it won't lose its presence with 1-2 db less. :-) Greetingss from Germany. Happy and save sailing.
Hey man, I just watched your video of you sailing across the ocean to Hawaii! You said in that video you plan to spend a month here, did you decide to stay or are these older videos? 😊 so cool!
Hey, a Nicotiana Tabacum just chilling on an island, growing by itself. Hawaiians, or anyone who may just happen to know, is that unusual for a tobacco plant to just be growing by itself in that part of the world? It's about unheard of in my area, and piqued my curiosity.
What the F bombing hockey sticks RUclips. My guy has been uploading videos why hasn't it been notifying me. Oh well, good to see you still going strong my guy!
When shtf sail boats with solar will be where it's at. I wanna get one soon again. I'll take the long way to Vietnam prolly 2yr journey just to get there.
in my youth i was with the boys scouts. At camp we were located on the Biesbosch a lake in the Netherlands. The big vessel ofcourse had an anchor but the chain was so thick and heavy, no one could ever lift that by hand. We were all standing there taking tries. We failed. Then i said, i want to take one more try. I managed to lift it up and hold it like for a second or 2. No one believed me. Next day one of the staf approached me and said, did you really manage? Why would i lie? And he said well.. The ship moved a couple of meters.
lol :D When I was a kid, there was 5 ~28" concrete balls that were setup as a roadblock to a street where cars couldn't go. Well let's just say that whoever installed them didn't bother tying them down, just made a small flat spot on the bottom of them. And when I and a few kids from the neighbourhood found out - we we're jumping on them and one moved slightly - it was obviously a challenge. Pretty difficult to get them moving but once you did, it was also quite dificult to get them to stop.. Long story short, we organized a race (one of us got a hotwheels racetrack with a stopwatch just that week so he of course had it on him all the time) around a parking lot (luckily empty at the time) with 5 of us each rolling one of the balls. Let's just say that the two officers of the municipal police who were having a boring day riding around the town were both angry at us and amused at the same time when they saw us running around rolling those things.. They had us put them back and promise we won't do that again. Aaand the city had them changed for the boring steel posts in a few months lol.
@@inventiveowl395 reminds me of an actual project that's been going on in the country. Everywhere they placed statues, some really nice. You won't expect it but a closer look reveals they are made out of solid concrete. I don't know the exact weight, could be 200 kilograms or maybe even 400, hard to tell but some kids managed to push one over anyways.
interested to see the route back to the mainland...catching the easterlies is the easy part, sailing against the weather back to the mainland is the hard part
Hi @Felixschottle, this is Sarah from James' Shore team- James is a few days from landfall in the Tuamotus at the moment, these videos were made before he left Hawaii...for real time info you can check into his instagram, and find the link to his tracker. Thanks for following along!

I thought it was a Pearson but now im not sure Alburg ...🤔 Go back to his channel pages and check its a vintage design from the late 50s early sixties.. . It will be in the details of where hes doing dock work in Hawaii.
if any of you get something like the post below my previous post, just report the channel, it is a scam, i almost fell for it as i seen it just after waking up. they tried to get me for 50.00 for that supposed prize.
@@SailorJames i got 2 phone numbers for them and reported both to the FTC, i played with them for about an hour telling them i didnt know how to use zelle or paypal, i said how bout i just send the money to the youtube account, they didnt like that at all, their tone changed, they were very persistant at getting me to send it through zelle, they kept asking about every 5 minutes if i had sent the money yet, lol. i felt stupid at first but glad i came to my senses before gave away 50 dollars to a scammer.
Right on- I LOVED this one. Thanks, James
Kudos for living the kind of life I'm too scared to try

You’re dead!!
@@bigfoot1917 facts
Nothing to be scared of. My only issue is taking care of the money first, need enough savings and passive income before I can go full time sailing.

I'm just a lake ad bay sailor but I'm learning some good stuff from your videos. My new Rolly Tasker sails are on order (seriously)
They are awesome sails and will make your boat feel like a new boat

Take a look at sailing project channel called Sailing Coneys.
How much does it cost per night for mooring?

That wont matter much since he is on his way to tahiti now,
What is your plan after Hawaii? feel like u have been there for some time now. Continueing west?

So want to buy a sailboat and go for it.
Was that a whale at 4:07 just to the left of center that caused the water to shoot up or was it a blowhole in a reef or something else?
Whales are here from approx. November through March, maybe into April...but no whales here now...Maui resident since 1986
Wish this guy would sail across the ocean already..

I've lived on lana'i for about 20 years. I've never heard of kamala nui, can you fill me in please? Map coordinates? Thank you. Enjoy 😉
high what yacht are you sailing i cant quite tell
I thought it was a Pearson but now im not sure Alburg ...🤔 Go back to his channel pages and check its a vintage design from the late 50s early sixties.. .
It will be in the details of where hes doing dock work in Hawaii.
Do you greet many sharks at snorkel depth?
🌟🌠🤩
Do you still get sea sick?
Shit James it must get lonely...... Coz what can you do
I hate that the oceans underwater habitats are dieing off. I remember as a kid the beauty below surface was so colorful now its so gloomy
Have you had any contact with her? Over the last months?
