- Welcome to YARNS; Conversations with Cruisers, A Sailing Podcast
James Frederick sits down with sailors he meets around the world to record their seas stories in remote anchorages and far-flung ports. All the interviews are recorded as a video podcast that is released on the Sailing Triteia TH-cam Channel. They are also being made available as an audio podcast for those who prefer this format of content.
On this episode I interview Dave & Jaja Martin about their wild life of sailing a modified Cal 25 around the world and starting a family during the circumnavigation. With the arrival of their third child they upgraded to a steel 33ft boat, Driver, and headed for the arctic where whey over wintered in the ice year after year living in Newfoundland, Iceland, and the Lofoten Islands of Norway.
This interview was a special treat because it was the first time I have interviewed two generations of sailors in the same family. Their daughter Holly Martin @WindHippieSailing was on the podcast back in June of 2023 : • YARNS : Holly Martin o...
Thanks again to the Martin Family for having me over to your beautiful home for dinner and to spin some yarns and thanks to Holly for making it happen.

Extraordinary. And Mrs Davis didn't bail. One in a billion. Best thing is, Mr Martin seems still to know exactly what he got himself into 35 years later. Holly and her siblings are one lucky bunch, to put it casually. Thank You, James, for putting in the effort of filming and bringing it all to us, and a special thanks to the Martin family for sharing thus openly.
Back in the 90’s,
I had a sailing magazine with an article about the Martins. As a young man, I read it 100 times.
I sold everything and went sailing.
I have listened to this interview three times and am presently reading their fabulous book 'into the Light'. Bliss! What a family! Thanks so much James!
Thank you, James! GREAT interview, and GREAT guests! Love me some Martin family! -Darcee
An other fascinating interview "STAY SAFE"
Really great that this podcast came up after watching the Holly podcast. Remarkable people and interesting lives.
Thanks for the video.
I loved this episode, james !!!
Thanks to you ,
and your guest
for a very informative.
Intriguing and awesome interview...
Really nice interview James. And a great concept you've hit on. Very fun. One of the qualities that attracts me to a TH-cam channel is are the people sympathetic?. Are they people I like? You've hit on a really nice way to"bring out" and talk to interesting, experienced and admirable people. Well done.
Thank you 🙏🏻
For me, this was one of the best episodes I have watched on your channel !! Absolutely awesome, James. Thank you for looking up Holly's parents, and doing the interview. it provides real insight into their fantastic life and career as cruisers and then on land. Holly is so lucky to have had such good parents ! I got so much out of this broadcast... and couldn't stop watching it. This filled in the blanks for me, and so eye-opening. All the best to you, James and looking forward to next episodes.
That family is just built different 😂 they are all badasses ! Glad you enjoyed it !
Excellent again James. You’re on to something here!
Awesome interview James! I hope I meet these folks one day! They are only about 200 miles from me!
Holly is awesome child Good job
Holly isn't a child. She's grown. :)
I'm SO glad, there are still that many legendary world citizen sailors, and their next and next next.... generations. Their free spirited soul will going on forever, carrying on forever forever. Just hearing your voices talking about adventures can be very soothing. THANKS!
This is so cool! I remember watching your interview with Holly and being super impressed with how awesome her parents sounded when she described them. They have certainly lived up to the hype! What an incredible family of sailors.
Loved it. No wonder Holly has turned out to have such a cool personality, what an amazing childhood it must have been.
The documentary is an awesome watch as well !
Good job man I like your interviews
How did I miss this until now?? This is terrific, I can sense the "We figured it out,' in Holly's parents which, because Holly was raised in it, is in her, incredible confidence. The moment for me watching her videos was when Holly was doing a passage and "Oh, and ah, yesterday, my back stay parted, so I tied a rolling hitch.." Wait, what? How are you so relaxed? Terrific.
She knew "from scratch" how a sailing boat can take a lot (more than You'd initially think), as long as her sailor's aware of what they're doing, seamanship-wise. Imagine going with those two as parents when barely in walking-age as a kid. It brings out mindsets like Holly's.
I Really appreciate you upholding the traditions of the seafaring bard, and helping to share the lives of these amazing people and their stories. Of all the cool things you do in your life, this is likely to be the one that will Outlast all others, thank you
What a great podcast. Holly and her Mom have the same laugh.
I'm glad I waited till I could watch it all, very interesting, amazing stories ✌️
That Bread looks so frickin' good!
I donated our 420 to Sailing Camp. The Martins are great. Real boat people who know things, and do stuff that makes me proud to be of the same species, as well as their neighbors.
Some of us know what he's talking about on photography. I still love shooting film. I learned on digital but now i leave my digital camera at home and keep my film camera with me for opportunities. Some things are better the old way.
Great interview! The Martins have been role models for a lit of people who ended up sailing. Gracias James! Feliz Navidad ⛵️🎄⛵️🎄⛵️🎄⛵️🎄⛵️
Fabulous chat, really enjoyable hearing their story ... thankyou James
I know now where Holly got her amazing character and sailing ability. Amazing family. Thank you, James. 😊
Absolutely!
There might not be any amount of "more seamanship" than being rocked by the waves on a tiny little boat already before birth I reckon 😁Should one believe in Karma and reincarnationism and all that: Imagine Holly's soul floatin' somewhere patiently waiting for _that_ kinda opportunity to start an earthling-life .... What a lucky girl!
Amazing interview.
I have a daughter Holly’s age who is equally a free spirit and independent minded person.
She is a great testament to their parenting and one of the most entertaining and amazing You Tube sailors.
Good times. I like this cruiser mentality. Do what you have to do to be prepared and then go for it 🎉
man, this is quickly becoming one of my favourite channels - you've found a great format. Love that you interviewed Holly's parents, she's quite remarkable, and that was the interview where I found this channel
They are a wild family !
Absolutely inspiring people .
I really enjoy the interview episodes. Amazing people ❤️
Thanks for all you do James!
Cheers from Southern California USA 🇺🇸 👍
A truly inspiring combination of competence and a laissez-faire attitude. Amazing people
Wow. Just wow.

I can relate. I lived in St John USVI for 5 years.
Thank you for doing this series of videos! Keep up the good work!
What a awesome story! I live about twenty minutes away from Bremen ME. Much love from the coast of Maine 🤙 ❤️
Fantastic James.
I met them in Durban at the International Jetty.

love the channel Bro . its funny when she brought up Norge , As i live aboard here in a small 28ft boat, in a place called Kjøpmannskjær , the people here in my small community bring me wood for my wood burning stove as its -6 deg here now , some food and ask me how i'm doing mosts days , very special people here the Norwegians ,as i only met a few of them in the summer time here , im from Australia and am on a pier with electricity , and have not documented my voyage, but am glad to be here it's a beautiful life , don't want to be famous just living my life this way but it's a wonderful thing when she talked about norge, and wonderful life either way... merry christmas to you brother and tusen takk for your channel ...
Hell yeah you are living it ! Cheers to the adventure!!!
Amazing adventures guys.Congrats!
I follow you and wind hippie as I cruise. I love this content ❤ fair winds my brother ⛵️
Just what I needed to get me through this fkd up traffic on the 15 fwy going to the High Desert. Holly is a bad ass and a big inspiration of mine. This is so cool.
I think you have created a most interesting format. Very creative, good job.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Feliz Navidad from Costa Rica. Keep up the Fantastic journey. Pura Vida
Awesome series ..thanks
Awesome!!!
Great interview!!
Cal 25s are like bathtubs. I've sailed on them. They are very sensitive and constantly on their top-sides with any amount of wind - very uncomfortable to sail on. Gotta hand it to Holly's parents for enduring the lack of comfort for so long.
Such amazing life adventures! Thank you for sharing. I’ve watched several of Holly’s TH-cam videos and was always impressed with her adventurous spirit. Now I understand why Holly is such an accomplished young lady. I hope both Holly and James start writing short narratives of their solo sailing experiences that eventually become chapters in their own book. I just looked up the book, “Into The Light: A Family’s Epic Journey” by Dave and Jaja Martin. I’m glad you mentioned the book before the end of the video. Glenn Evans
I have two books published and many articles for sailing magazines and many more books that will come out in the future. I know Holly is also planning on writing a book as well about her adventures
@@SailorJames
I looked up the book, "The Logs of the Good Ship Triteia." What's the other book titled?
this is a one of my favorites you have done. My partner and I live on our production boat saving up to "bulletproof" it. was the only boat we could afford. So stories like this always give me inspiration and confidence that "it is possible" and "you don't need all this fancy stuff".
You rallied off so many names of various sailors at the end its hard to hear and google them. (and try to spell them correctly) Any chance you could list them in the description or comments? Want more stories! Thanks for all you do!
The Pardeys, the Smeetons, the Roths all of them were couples who sailed and wrote amazing books
Fun fact, I though i seen someone who looks like you in Picton/waikawa NZ yesterday?
He was probably amazed at how big the stingrays are in that harbor
This just proves, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...
Absolutely 😂
Why aren’t these people sailing any longer? Sup wit dat? Holly is awesome, but Holly and James are better together.
They still sail they just don’t cruise.
Wrong! i.e., Holly & James ARE great together, but to say 'better' than just Holly, sorry, bud, thumbs down on that one -Darcee
Great interview, James. They all have been! I've been following you since I heard your interview on 59 degree North and it's been a wonderful and inspiration journey. Your travels and these great interviews you're doing is something I look forward to more than any sailing-related content on the internet, alongside Holly's who I started following thanks to a girl I met in the Galapagos who worked with Holly in Antartica. Thank you for all the hard work you put into it all. Thank you for keeping it real and bringing us along on your journeys. I am a new(ish) sailboat owner and you are certainly an inspiration. I look forward to reading your book of adventures one day. I wish you much happiness in your life.
