- Season 8 : Hawaiian Adventures : Episode #214
On this episode we have a change of plans as a weather update shows high winds forecasted for the coming week and we point our bow towards Oahu's westside; Pokai Bay.
During the passage I recorded a very ominous VHF call of a fisherman reporting to the Coast Guard that he had just seen a plane lose its wing and spiral down into the sea. I never found out what happened with this even after I searched the internet high and low in the following days. If you have information about this plane crash I would be interested to hear more.

I've been watching your videos for a few months now and I have to tell you thank you. You have motivated me to want to live life again and self discovery. Good luck on your journey!
good luck on yours also my friend!
Bro you have like the realest sailing channel man. I'm glad I found your videos because they've deeply inspired me to buy a sailboat
There’s magic waiting for you out there !!!!
@@SailorJames man you have no idea what it would mean to me to sail. I've been keeping my eyes open for a small sailboat
I love the joyous voices behind you!
Love these video's you make! Keep enjoying life man!
James - enjoying your adventures, narrating, and personality. Great no BS channel. Keep ‘em coming!
I'm dreaming of that sunny warm sailing from the rainy west coast in Canada. That abandoned marina zone looks perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing man ! Can’t wait to go from MdR out there in the next few years. So sick 🍻
Its GOOD TO HEAR your feeling SO HAPPY again after all thats gone on
Love your channel man. Big support from Sweden.
Just discovered your channel! I love your story telling style!
Love seeing Poka'i Bay from that vantage point. This was my wife's favorite beach when she was a keiki. Loving the channel and stoked for all your future adventures.
It’s such a great beach for kids and families, warm shallow waters and the breakwater keeping the little ones safe
Keep safe and hope to see your next video!
Poka’i Bay is so super special. I am happy you got to experience it. Didn’t you just love the laughter and joy coming from the keiki? Between that, the beauty of the bay and the safe haven you feel anchored here, it’s like therapy for the soul.
A video on using GRIB files would be intresting, how you get them, view them, use them. A mega Yhact has all sorts of stuff, you seem to be taking a more miminalist route.
Truly inspiring, thank you and stay safe and adventurous🇺🇸🤗
Love your videos man no B.S. just you get what you see…keep them comingb
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
SAIL ON BROTHER!! from the crew of the WindFinder!!!
Great Set of Tats your sporting, I was wondering (though its none of my business and i don’t mean to sound to forward) how much time overall do you have in the lot of them and what do you think it would cost someone to have something similar in this age of INFLATION!! I must say they are ALL done tastefully unlike some I’ve seen where the entire body is covered but I’ll bet they wish they had an eraser. Yours appear that they belong exactly where they are and they defiantly add to your appearance. Nice job Bro, not to mention You are clearly living a dream sailing to Hawaii and around the world. I really enjoyed the spots with Kimberly Wood, she’s got such a sweet Spirit about her and i can see how one would be attracted to Her as a friend. I LOVE her voice and mannerisms she’s cool. You appear to live a great live my brotha! Enjoy it for those of us who made safer choices in life and may have slight regrets. I respect You and LOVE your videos. Keep them coming. 🤟🏽
Thanks 🙏🏻 I have the good fortune of knowing some of the best tattooers in the world (Kat Von D, Tommy Montoya, Shawn Barber, etc) and a large majority of my tattoos were bartered for in trade for things I could do or make for them. But if I went by a price of what my tattoos cost for someone who walked into their shops off the street it would be astronomical.
Kimberly wood is super fun and has an incredibly interesting life that we will be getting into in future episodes 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Reading your book, "Six Nights On The Hook at Santa Cruz Island" and watching your video!
Point Sur Lighthouse! Keep living the dream!
Good times, bro. I used to live there and work on a dolphin boat. Look for the local tour boat, and go out to where they anchor. You can swim with the dolphins! (OK, you will be swimming with tourists, too, but they don’t bite :)
living your best life bro! paradise!
Livin life, love it !!
Awesome videos man! What a life! Would love to shoot a mini documentary about your adventures if your ever back in LA :)
I will be back in SoCal for a few weeks for the Christmas holidays , shoot me an email if you want, jamesthesailorman@gmail.com
Will do James, thanks!
Sick I saw you achored out there bad ass!
Live in Ha in the 60's and 70', Pokai was our family go to spot, we sailed down from Honolulu 10 times a year. But, I don't remember the breakwater and I don't remember their ever being a marina. Maybe one was planned, the breakwater built then it all fell apart. It was a bit rolly at times. But a great sand bottom. Great memories....
That sail makes a nice cockpit tarp/shade
Thanks, yeah it was my original mainsail that I cut and sewed into a shade, also works for rain catchment!
Excellent video! What Anchorage book are you using, Noodle notes? We are on Oahu, so please holler if you need a ride or anything. Aloha 🌺
Shoots! Nice one!
So rad!! When’s the Alaska trip? You’ll need a rescue diver on board and I’m cheap! Seriously! 😜
Pokai bay has great shell diving
HEY,I,LL BE CHECKING IN ON YOU ONCE OR TWICE WEEKLY. HUH.REALLY LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID.YOUR JOURNEY IS REALLY.( INSPIRATIONAL)
We listened to a helicopter crash this summer! Watching coast guard launches tear off around the lake with lights flashing! Clicked on the VHF to listen to the show! -
There was a medical helicopter crash recently in New York and everybody got out alive ! Amazing to see, but I don't know how much actual video of it happening has come out yet (if it does).
How could you not be happy anchored in that bay, knowing you got there on your terms.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
8:58 we had the same look.
did you take a towel from the Hilton sir? HAHA. everybody has a few on the island
I found this from November 2nd...I wonder if this was it? HONOLULU (AP) - Federal officials have recovered a cargo plane that crashed into the ocean off Hawaii. The National Transportation Safety Board announced Tuesday that all major components of the 737-200 jet, including the plane's black boxes, have been salvaged from about 400 feet (122 meters) of water off Oahu.Nov 2, 2021
Whoa I will look further into it ! Thanks !
I just sailed from Bellingham in October. At camp Lanai now, we should chat. I also know captain Mike he used to help me out caretaking my old boat before he was "Captain" Mike. Let's chat some how.
Plane spiralling without a wing, would also be a helicopter doing circles from a distance. (since coast guard said they had helicopters in the area)
Very good point
Sweet🍻🍻🍻🤘
How many Knotts does your boat go when motoring.
I served in the US Navy from 99 to 2022. My guess is that it was a Navy Pilot practicing recovering from a free spin. They would do this all the time in Pensacola. Hopefully this is what the plane was doing and what the fisherman was witnessing.
That makes perfect sense, Thanks !
James who built that awesome dodger? I have a '76 Cape Dory 30 Ketch and that dodger looks awesome!
I built it, I made an episode that is up on my channel talking about the process
@@SailorJames Totally awesome. I will give it a view. Really awesome how you handled that broken rudder. Not many people know what it feels like to be broken down offshore. That is a lonely feeling.
A Tour Helo made an emergency landing south of there at Ford Island around the same time. So it could be that and maybe they were trying to get to the airport but landed short. All were okay. Not sure about any aircraft fixed wing. That was yesterday Sunday actually Nov 21st. Not sure if the tape is today.
This was filmed Oct 19th
@@SailorJames The Helo incident was yesterday so that's not it then. There was a Cessna plane that made an emergency landing on the Big Island on Friday morning on a road near Opulu airstrip. Also the other day a boat sank off Maui. All incidents all survived though the two people on the boat that sank was bad as they had to swim a mile in currents and waves to shore. It appears the daughter saved her father so that's a great outcome there.
It may have been a Helo that was training an autorotation but that's usually over land. Who knows but haven't heard anything.
I envy you, cheers
I’m in Oahu currently. Are you still anchored here I have cars and room would love to host you guys
Sails the Pacific...
TAPP,N IN TODAY.,FROM DALLAS (landlocked) TEXAS
I grew up in Hobbs, New Mexico and use to bum rides to Dallas as a kid to visit the record store and Deep Ellum 👍🏻 thanks for watching
WORD UP,AS A AFRICAN AMERICAN.YOU REALLY HAVE ME THINKING,I CAN BE A PIRATE OF THE CARRABEIN.
WELL,LET ME SAY ( NOT A PIRATE) IS BEING A PIRATE,DISREPECTFUL.OR HONORABLE.OR LIKE AN OUTLAW BIKER??JUST TALKING ALITTLE JIVE.😁😂🤗
Did anyone ever find out more about the plane crash?
There is a submarine that does tourist tours off the shore near you I think maybe that’s the sub you saw?
It was a military sub heading into Pearl Harbor, I have seen / pasted 3 USA nuclear subs and 1 Japanese sub since cruising the Hawaiian islands, lots of submarine traffic around the parts apparently 😀
Do you have to pay when you drop anchor at these places?
Nope
@@SailorJames nice. I'm currently binge watching your videos. Hope I can do this some day
your right it does look like a movie , and not windy , talking of movies if you want to be an actor you need to work on that shocked look expresion , :)
😂😂😂
Hell I'd rather watch you than a James bond movie
Aloha flight 243 if you want to see a wild plane incident in the area from many years ago.
When I lived in Wailuku I would take my dogs hiking up Waihee ridge above Mendes ranch. One day I had to chase them into the woods when they went after a pig and I found an Aloha Airlines life jacket. Called around and they confirmed that it could only have come from that flight.
I sent it to a friend who was going through commercial flight school at the time. He collects everything! And I think he still has it somewhere in Colorado.
@@marklanders630 it's a wild ass story. I think only one or two deaths which is a miracle. Rip
A good friend of mine, who happened to be an ex Pan Am Executive was on that flight. He also took many of the first pictures that were published once it landed. He has since passed away. RIP Bob.
🇵🇱🙋⛵
Good ol' drugmarine
Something tells me there is a good chance you're not coming back. Maybe I will see you again on some Isle in the South Pacific. The rat race is still here and it's rattier than ever.
Oh yeah that was announced a while back on a live stream, sailing to South Pacific in April
@@SailorJames dulce!
@@SailorJames That's awesome. Do you have a fabricator for the new rudder? And will the keel need any modification to accommodate the strap around the post once all is glassed? Assuming you don't opt for keeping the rudder design as original.
Lived in Hawaii many decades ago and still dream of going back, if just for a visit. Beautiful video.
@@SailorJames I went to fanning from oahu in 1991. What a magic first landfall. There is a youtuber who built a surf shack there just before covid. Its called Life unpealed. Check it out.
Though maybe palmyra will be better because covid restrictiion still for kiribati. There was a north shore pro surfer sailed there also just before covid called john john florence. Check out there palmyra videos.
