- Season 8 : The Hawaiian Adventures : Episode #216
On this episode I enjoy one last night at the amazing Pokai Bay before hauling up and sailing up the west side heading north for the most remote anchorage on Oahu, Makua Bay. The landscape continues to amaze me as I watch it pass by, a view you can only get from the sea.
I come into the wide sandy bay and drop the hook and was happy to see my anchor set so deep only the roll bar was showing above the sand. The winds continued to blow but Triteia sat secure and happy under anchor surrounded by remarkable beauty.

She leaves, your vid goes viral, interesting turn of events. The world is an amazing place and I'm glad you're able to share some of it with us all.
Breathtaking.
ST, my friend, you are a true inspiration for lots of people out there.
Aloha James,
Welcome to Hawaii.
Enjoy and refresh your mind.
My favorite sites are the Pali. The windward side.
Stay safe and once again.
Aloha
Keep the dream alive. The World is Yours to enjoy. Doing it Solo is the Ultimate soul search!
So incredibly beautiful my friend. Thanks for the program.
What a gem… me stumbeling across your channel. Great work, very interesting insights to your daily routines at sea, especially for a non-sailor like me 💪🏻👏☘️
Thanks for everything. :) Peace
Thanks James very nice
Came across these videos of yours. Very cool. I love the sea and miss it so much.
As for your breakup.... plenty more fish in the sea. 😉
Stay strong and enjoy every day. Life's to short.
Killin it! Lots of love
Aloha James...I used to live to the right of that point. The Kings Road Mokule'ia it was pristine and very rural. I miss it dearly. Mahalo nui loa.
Outstanding video James as always . You’re living the dreams of all of us , you’re the man Brother! 👍
Love it! That’s really livin man!
Just saw your video sailing there last night. Good luck man. Awesome journey
That hat is awesome 😄
Tip of the hat to sir, you are doing what most of us don’t have the guts to do. We live our lives through your channel.
rooting for you brother.
Inspiring videos. Keep on keeping on. As I sit in the Northeast with snow on the ground, you are keeping the dream alive. Go brother! Do some more thorough anchorage reviews, like you were doing in SoCal. Love em', need em' gotta gotta have em'...
Wow, what a find. Just found your channel and have already watched three. So that's my evening sorted! Very cool.
Stay safe. So many fish in that clear blue sea. You seem like a great man. She will find you when you least expect it. Hopefully she’s nothing like all the rest.
whut
I agree! It will be better!
Man, your videos inspire me so much to become a stronger, braver person. Hopefully one day I’ll gain the courage to move past my fears/insecurities and live the kind of life you live. Thank you for everything you do, I wish you well in all of your adventures.
I fully enjoy watching your sailing videos from home on Cape Cod👍Thanks James for sharing 💯 Such a beautiful place I hope to see one day🙏Thanks again and stay safe🙏
Makua is one of those places you have to visit to really appreciate the amazing beauty of it. So happy you could make it there and enjoy it.
First time seeing your vid ..nice you’re in our islands enjoy it while you’re here…drop a lure there’s a good chance of you catching a yellowfin tuna, mahi or ono ( wahoo) great vid 👍🏼
We're getting close to -30 degrees below zero here in Finland. Glad to watch your video!
When you can't sail ......sauna!!
@@symphonyfarm2009 The Finnish definitely know how to do that lol. Their sauna culture is part of the damn UNESCO Heritage list.
sail on sailor! so glad to see that you are continuing on with your dream(s)/goals despite the overt betrayal at the hands of a duplicit wife brother....never forget - this to shall pass. (things happen for a reason and you will succeed) - thanks for the fine oceanic content. Godspeed!
love it bro! great content! Looking forward to see whats in your future!
So beautiful and peaceful enjoy the good life. Clouds r big and puffy, when I visited Oahu the clouds painted pictures for me.
hi I'm watching from haleiwa harbour ....thanks for the great vids....aloha from sweeps ip 38 and ben
Love it!
Wonderful content! It’s quite interesting seeing all the different lifestyles.
Some great backdrops James ..your second anchorage
seemed so much more verdant than the first.
The bay and ridges almost looked like a breached ancient caldera. Sometimes hard to match the dry landscapes of one area and the jungle greens of a bay like this. 🌎
Great vid mate Thanks for showing us all your anchoring techniques and gear
Beautiful anchorge.stay safe. Love from FIJI 🇫🇯.
the worlds most interesting man!
Loved watching your vids bro, totally hooked. be safe.
Go to lono harbour. On molakai Very remote and a sweet spot for a few days isolation.
Beautiful anchorages you’ve been enjoying there. I’m enjoying you’re videos. Aloha from Cape Town.
So beautiful 😎
Your channel is very addicting! Just found it and I love it!
Great job
just had another kid
Thx for getting to live vicariously through you! I'm stuck like Chuck
hope ya get to chill with some cool people while there
Congratulations, you finally achieved your objective, a bullseye on realization of the dream which is fruitfully manifested in Hawaii. I remember you handing over the $2,500 to the former boat owner and he said "I hope you sail around the world" - looks like you are on your way.
Nice man, keep on keeping on 👍
Aloha from Ko Olina!
I’ve only been on a short half day sail one time 30 years ago, and your videos have really sparked an interest in me. Thank you for sharing and best of luck in all of your travels!
It’s a really amazing way to get to enjoy the ocean in a peaceful way. There is nothing like the magic of sailing with the engine off and the silence and only the sound of the sea
New subscriber I just came across your channel and i love it.👍⚓⛵
Hi James, great content!! I think of you as we cycle around Oahu, wondering where you are now. Last time we rode from Makaha to Yokohama Bay we looked but didn't see you. Yes, Pokai Bay is a beauty; I always wondered what it was like experiencing from a boater's perspective. From shore it is so nice to see the people enjoying it and the boats anchored in the harbor. Fair winds...
Dude, I would love to experience what you are living right now!
Nice sailing wish I was there
Nice job bro. Keep it real.
You’re on an adventure for the ages now! Good luck 🍀 to ya.
Another great vid James. Snorkeling w/ turtles footage is rad too.
I wish the weather was like that today December 7th 2021
Dude.
Hope you can make it to Kailua Kona
Keep living the dream man
Hope you faired well in yesterday's storm! Rough day all around the islands.
My Sister lives on Po'Kai Bay :) I always looked at the sailboats anchored by the breakwater and wondered the sailor's story. Now I know :) Haha. Happy I stumbled upon you on here or maybe the algorithm had something to do with it, regardless, sail on sailor! All the best from Nova Scotia🤙🌴
I live right across the street from Poki Bay
Found your videos today and really loving them. The wife and I are moving to Hawaii in April so I'm excited to get back there and re-explore. Keep up the videos! One thing I noticed when you anchored was that you have your snubber going around your cleats and tied off to one of the stanchions base. That's putting all the stress on that stanchion instead of the cleats that are supposed to take the stress/weight. The cleats are installed to take that pressure and the lifeline stanchions aren't. Anyways, just wanted to point it out because it's a safety thing. Aloha and I'm going to keep bingeing more videos now 😁🤙🏼
That is only a temporary chain stop snubber, I have a real snubber that I use. Been doing this a long time
@@SailorJames 👍🏼 I can tell you have been just by your lingo and knowledge. I didn't want to say anything and be "that guy" commenting on a TH-cam video, but you never know what people do or don't know despite their experience. I didn't mean to criticize but merely just wanted to point something out that could help you if you were not aware. Keep up the good work.
Your very blessed my friend. Most ppl could only dream of sailing around the 🌎. Were you taught as a boy to sail or did you learn later as adult? Thx for sharing, my family really enjoys watching your adventures.
James been watching and enjoying your videos , I am an ex Wharram cat sailor unfortunately confined to land these days but you seemed to have stirred up the salt water still in my veins and look forward to your future adventures ,your doing a great job. Les Rigby Rockhampton Queensland Australia
Thank you Les 🙏🏻 The sea is calling you , hope to be sailing your shores in a year or so !
Hi ST (smiles & hug) The "winds" on the Islands of Hawaii? They Kick-up everyday around 12pm -- 5pm....and then die-down. You can "almost" set your clock by them. (wink) Also, there are definite "areas" on the Islands that will "rain" hard on you at exactly the same time everyday. Pretty cool & unusual weather.
Please "visit" the other Islands. The Big Island will hold your interests for the snorkeling & "private" beaches.......and of course >>>> The Volcano. (smile) And, Kauiai will hold your attention for the sheer towering cliffs. The rest of the Islands? They are kinda the same in terrain & probably "best" if U get off the boat & explore them in a car & on foot???
U R amazing & courageous ST & "Thank You" for sharing your Adventure with us. (BIG hug)
GOD BLESSES ALL.
Where the heck is Kauiai??
You should check out kailua beach its way beautiful then west side
That point is Kaena Point
Hope you have a grate Holiday wish I could do what your doing its my dream life lol
Subscribed a few days ago. I love your content and what your doing. I admire that. I only wish I could have a journey like that, but sadly enough, there's no oceans in Ohio..lol
Sail Lake Erie! ⛵⛵⛵⛵
@@pawlah1 That's all well and good, untill someone pulls the handle and flushes.....Ewe.!!!!
There you have it! Two things 1.) Age is melting off your face! 2.) Format is getting good! Don't forget the voice overs! I know you have a lot to say and you are good writer, and even adult arm chair skippers like to told a good story while the snow blows in Vermont!!! Sorry... not snow, freezing ice rain changing to snow.
Too bad you couldn't climb one those high peaks there. New subscriber here👋 all the way from the coast of Maine
Next weeks video shows me hiking up to a high cave at Makua
Hope you're doing well in all the weather making the news today.
Thanks 🙏🏻 Triteia and myself rode out the storm safely tied up in Honolulu. I stayed hunkered down onboard and edited and watched an unbelievable amount of rain fall from the sky and only found 1 small leak that can easily be fixed.
That's mostly a locals beach. Waves get big at times
Maui Wauie in video form right here. Get high just from watching.
My bones drift upon the sea
My soul sails upon the water
The albatross keeps me company
The rocking of the waves are my salvation.
Lotta ice in that area, leads to a lot of theft.
Majority of locals are amazing. I lived in Maui and island hopped a lot!
Sail free brother! Enjoy your life!
Cold here in Ohio! Playing your video through my Bluetooth and hearing the waves crashing! I can pretend, right?
Hey nice videos SR hey have u ever see the Curvature of the Earth? i ask this question to a lot of pilot and captain but seems like never ever see it? cheers buddy have a nice trip,.
Yes it’s perfectly round at sea just like the earth
@@SailorJames yeah thats why they calling Sea Level ,large amount of water never get curve it enjoy the earth brother.cheers.
How far off the beach were you,it’s hard to tell with your wide angle lens on the GoPro?
please make a trip to Africa/mombasa someday
It is for sure a place I plan to visit !!!!
Is that the Endeavour on your back?
How was last night the storm? We got hammered over here on Maui. Aloha 🤙
I didn’t sleep much at all, the boat was heeling over at points while tied to the dock, looks like y’all got more rain than us yesterday too
@@SailorJames Cool glad you're good, saw over here a sailboat washed a ground in Lahaina, bummerz, stay safe 🤙
Come to NZ bro
Hope to be there this time next year 👍🏻
Great video! Music credits?
The music is all copyright free music
do you do spearfishing?
Plucky at sailing into freedoms your man for that
@@Mk-oy9ns I know... it's one of my favourite channels
The holding at Pokai is less than perfect. I've dragged there with as much scope out as I could lay.
Yeah I found closer I was bad holding for sure
@@SailorJames Hmmm. You claimed good holding at Pokai in the video! It is a nice place, but inside the jetty is touchy holding.
I had great holding at the spot in this video, my Mantus was buried to the roll bar, closer in I had bad holding and moved and talked about it on a previous video
@@SailorJames K
You doing okay with the weather right now? Please let me know if you need a room to stay in while the worst of this passes through tomorrow.
Thanks 🙏🏻 last night was pretty wild, hopefully the worst of the wind is done , plenty of rain though
@@SailorJames well I'm getting phone alerts that tonight will be the worst and with south direction hopefully you're back in pokai breakwater. I'll send you an email with my number so you can have an emergency option near by. I can also bring you a second anchor setup if helps. Good luck.
@@SailorJames Those of us on land worry about torrential rain, Sailor James worries about strong winds. Perspective. BTW- I am looking out of my lanai and I have a view above the Royal Hawaiian hotel out to the ocean and the seas look rough and the skies are dark. Be safe SJ. Aloha!
check out my hawaii vids... lets go sail.....buddy boats....
Please watch the adds all the way through so this guy gets a a few bucks for all the trouble he goes to make these clips its not much but it's something
You're not bald- just travel...
