Dude i have never been happier for another human being. You are in the true rhythm and it’s beautiful to watch. You’re entire being and relationship to the sea feels like it takes me back 300 years ago. I mean that in the best possible way. And nice to see a day in the life. Blessings James.
@@luckyman9903 Got it sir. You may continue your quest for validation through petty corrections elsewhere. You're work here is done. But please make note--in this day and age when folks are in casual conversation through threads and such--you're point has become rote and tired. Have a good one pal.
@@dixinbuttz44 Friend nobody has seen ‘everything’ possible. His comment was his reflection on what he has seen to date. Isn’t that hard to interpret in his comment and apply knowledge. Love your VLOGS James.
Im of tongan lineage born and raised in los angeles. Tongan islands are right next door and im going up there to visit fam. I must say im jealous. For a man to be on a boat in the middle of endless ocean for days and weeks and months, with no signt of land, and to navigate through that, such is a mans voyage through life. We all have our own journeys, blessed that you are sharing yours with us.
James.. thanks for letting us live vicariously through your videos. There's 6 inches of snow outside my window right now and seeing even a little sunshine through my computer monitor helps.
The beginning music and monologue always gives me this massive sense of nostalgia. For what, I don’t know. This channel is one of my favorites on RUclips 😊
While I am on Spring Break (I work at a middle school), watching your video is so relaxing! I appreciate the 55 minutes of taking my mind away from things! Thank you!
Yay so happy you made it safe!! Sure am glad your engine decided to turn on, I was worried with you! Suva’s historical sites & museums are pretty cool. Loved spending time in Tavarua. Looking forward to your next video & mahalo for taking us along with you 🤙🏼🌊⛵️
There’s nothing I enjoy more on RUclips than riding along with you around the world. Thank you! Im currently living in a van but As soon as I get a job, I’ll support the channel
As a midwesterner that’s never sailed and at my age I most like never will. I am so envious of your lifestyle. I can’t imagine doing what you do. Mind you I’m not complaining because I have a great life yours is just different. Keep sharing your life I absolutely love watching your adventures. Stay safe my friend and enjoy what you do.
Dollar for dollar and knot for knot, I think Triteia is the most solid cruiser value in the South Pacific right now. It helps to have a no-nonsense Captain as well, of course.
The other solo-sailor channel I watch is Adventures of an Old Sea Dog. I'm very surprised at how different your sailing experience is from his. You're cool and calm, at least on the outside. Even when your rudder broke, you're like "ok, well we need to deal with this...". The Sea Dog is constantly having problems with sailing his boat. Constantly not being able to make progress in the direction he's trying to go. Constantly stressed about his motor, etc. I love watching his journey too, he seems like a decent guy, but the contrast between you two is quite amazing to me.
I watched a couple of his videos too. My quick take - James is on his life's mission which he worked towards for years, so he is well prepared. The Old Sea Dog seems to have done plenty of ocean sailing and doesn't have such a sense of purpose now, maybe he doesn't put such effort into preparation.
@@vindolanda6974old sea dog is a super nice guy I’ve met him twice. He is just a different age and different point in life he is starting his completion of the entire globe right now
James, I’m an avid watcher now, for over the last 2 years. Have enjoyed the journey, along with your simplistic narration. It’s like watching one of the great movies where he says “life’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get.” We are all on a Journey, and many of us like the water, and your videos, and editing, tells an awesome story of adventure. Just wanted to say Thanks for the ride.
Mate did you say your wife left you, mate she,s crazy, she dont no a good think, while she,s got it, hats off bro, your elvis presley on a boat, may god and the wind be in your corners, happy sailing ,chears
Ive just ordered new electronics and next month I haul out my boat. Blister work, rudder, bottom paint and finish the rewiring taking out original 40 year old wires for new. Your journey helps me push through the tough moments. I'm willing to pay my adventure tax. Thanks and fair winds to you.
Great discovery on, RUclips. Been traveling all over the world, since leaving cuba, back in 71-I was sixbat such time. Been wanting to sail in the south Pacific, since spending time in Bora Bora, 30 years ago, and youve planted a seed in my mind to accomplish, such. Thank you. Safe travels mate.
Hi Captain, when you made the raw fish with the coconut sauce, it made me hungry. Very hungry. But in my box, there were only sardines!!!!!....thank you for sharing, nice video.
James, this is by far the best channel I have come across. I can't speak for anyone else, but you make me feel like I would stand a chance exploring the world on a small boat. Thank you!
Great choice of music on this episode. Beginning reminds me of Tom Hanks Cast Away film. Amazing how much power is in a sail that Gybes unintended, considering all that power has to be transmitted through the cloth via all those little stitches and eventually shatter your winch base along with its metal bolts.
Not much out there more relaxing than a `Sailing Triteia` video and another successful passage... Well done James and keep it up! Your life inspires me!!.. (from a subscriber in South Africa)
Thanks James you’re one of the best inspiration to get out there and sail . I’m retired buying a boat in March , I live in the bay / delta area of Northern California, I don’t have any sailing experience, hopefully I can start slow and learn around the bay here . Stay safe my friend .
I love your channel . Actual sailing .Without a lot of extraneous BS. I learn something every time I watch an episode. Breath of fresh air . Thank You. James K., S/V Celestial
I just spent a day watching your channel in awe after I found your crossing to Hawaii… I don’t feel like I wasted a moment! I can’t wait to sail! Thankyou for all that you’re giving and teaching❤
You made me laugh when you figured out your video wasn't recording i just got this thought of you talking to yourself for hours lol.....i love your videos.
Awesome job brother! Watching you from Nassau Bahamas, wife and I sailed away from the states as well, 1978 Sparkman & Stephens (paid $4k) that we've worked on for the last couple years, no plans to return. D.R. is next! Love your channel, we actually found it accidentally some months back when researching USCG documentation, and running into your vid on that. It was helpful, thanks. I guess the algorithm started showing your vids, so we subscribed and love it!❤
😍😍😍 THANKYOU FOR MY INVITE TI COME ALONG WITH YOU CAPTAIN JAMES!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT FIJI IS LIKE😁😁😁 THIS ADVENTURE OF YOURS IS SO EXCITING FOR ME❤️❤️❤️
James. Once again your video production levels are amazing. The sound quality is great. Your voice is clear and the camera angles are perfect. When I look back at when you first left LA to now the video production is thru the roof. The way you tell your story puts me right in the cockpit or down below cooking a meal with you. That’s hard to do and once again you nailed it. Cheers Mate. Thanks for sharing.
Great passage. My dad sailed the Pacific in WW2. "44 months in the Pacific." Hahaha, same same but different. Very different! Thanks again, Thailand Paul
Hello friends,my name is James .hello James you are a master class .you make me feel like I'm onboard.the only thing that's separates us is the screen.you are the best and the most exciting solo sailor.please just for one episode can I request you wear a tricone.
These videos just keep getting better, far better than anything that British TV has to offer at present. You possibly may have a small air leak somewhere on your diesel system if filters were good, but a crack of the injectors one at a time whist turning her over should be temporary fix. Some sailors rig a secondry starter button in engine bay so that you can tighten them down whilst turning her over. Looking forward to seeing Fiji.
Great episode! I'm going to watch it again later today, screw watching cable/TV! Also, that recipe is on the grocery list - can't wait! I'm looking forward to seeing how that big cyclone affected you in the next episode.

Good job, James - you are easily the most watchable solo-sailor on U-toob 🙂
You haven't seen every sailor on RUclips jk
Noooooo Holly from Wind Hippy Sailing or Mat and Amy from Sailing Florence
@@russellclement2058 my favourite is Sam Holmes but it’s all personal preference. There are many really great sailing RUclips channels!

How to Sail Oceans is the best sailor on youtube.
Thank you for making these videos. If you ever get disheartened while at sea, please remember you are inspiring a ton of people.

@@ToddMoore1 I third this, Montana has been pretty rude lately.
The beginning music and monologue always gives me this massive sense of nostalgia. For what, I don’t know. This channel is one of my favorites on RUclips 😊
I love this comment
This is the first video that has left me utterly speechless.
Congrats on your crossing from Pago Pago to Suva Suva! For what its worth, I'm very proud of you! Enjoy your travels..👍☮
Savu Savu, not Suva Suva. Suva - just Suva - is the capital of Fiji in SE Viti Levu.
❤your content brother. Very enjoyable to watch, chill out and escape. Thanks for allowing us to share the journey.
"First land I've smelled since American Samoa." Bro! Sailing over the 180th Meridian. That totally blows my mind. Fair winds to you.
While I am on Spring Break (I work at a middle school), watching your video is so relaxing! I appreciate the 55 minutes of taking my mind away from things! Thank you!
It has to be so satisfying and fulfilling to be under sail power with just the sounds of the sea.
Thanks for another fab vid!
I grew up on the water in the UK, if I wasn’t married with kids and all that drama, I would 100% be doing this. What an awesome experience
@@MaxRank you can do it!! 🌅and with kids it can be even more meaningful! 🫶✨
Awesome video! Thank you James. These long format sailing videos are probably my favorite.
Yay so happy you made it safe!! Sure am glad your engine decided to turn on, I was worried with you! Suva’s historical sites & museums are pretty cool. Loved spending time in Tavarua. Looking forward to your next video & mahalo for taking us along with you 🤙🏼🌊⛵️

Totally digging the recipe for "poissson cru au late de coco." That was a nice touch, I am going to make that. Thank you!
It’s soooooo good
Tonight I couldn’t sleep and I knew listening to you and your voyage would give me comfort. Thank you and many blessings

Welcome to Fiji James. Enjoy your short stay in Fiji
You are an inspiration my friend. Keep doing what you love. These videos are truly amazing. Stay blessed!!

I have had this engine for 5 years and started / bled it a 1000 times or more 👍🏻 I have a secondary start button under my chart table
Moving to San Diego to learn to sail this year, hopefully in a couple years or so of learning I can do what you do! Very inspiring my friend!
Im so confident your videos will be awesome that I like them before I watch.
