I’m selfishly excited that you’re going again. Another book would be a kindness; I’ve memorized Alone Together and Philosophy. Your cooperation will be deeply appreciated. Fair winds.
I 'accidentally' discovered Philosophy of Sailing on Audible, 3 days ago, which I have just finished listening to! What a delight! And now I want to go sailing! And yes now going to download and listen to Alone Together.
It's a complicated expression that last one. Anxiety, humour, inevitability and a veiled determination. The look of someone that's impressed how much trouble he gotten himself in for. Thank you for the inspiration and fair winds.
Can't wait for the aftermath of your journey. May your ANCHOR be tight, your CORK be loose, your RUM be spiced, and your COMPASS be true. All the best from a Greek Irish Sailor
I bought Philosophy of Sailing from Audible and loved it. Bought Alone together in a hardback for the boat library. Many years ago, I bought your Ted Turner bio and really enjoyed it as I was a fan of his sailing accomplishments. You are a truly gifted writer. You sailing videos are motivating me to keep my sailboat skills and goals on track. Sailing has give me more joy and contentment than any other activity and you have contributed to that process. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and sailing life with us.
At last ! We were all secretly expecting that (I guess). A complete trilogy. And a new book to come ? Thank you for taking us with you on your crossing to come. Bon vent, Monsieur Williams :-)
I love the addition of the fuel gauge, just so that we could see you bemoan the fact that you have been trained never to trust one. I love it:) You are the best. Fair winds!!
May the good winds take you and bring you back with a new book for us! You’re such an inspiration for tons of us! Cheers from a Brazilian fan on the Bay Area of San Francisco, CA!
After 3 days out you start talking to yourself, 4 days you answer back , 5 days you start to actually sleep, 6 days you can’t remember if it’s been 3 or 4 days, 7 days and your just going along and getting some place. 8 days and it’s looking for things to fix or make better.
No music. No drone shots. No shots of the winch with the sea in the background. Simple video production. All I can say is.... Thank you! Be safe young man!
I haven’t been this excited in a while! Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us! Your last two trips are like a favorite song- I can listen (watch) over and over and it never gets tiresome!
May your travels to and from be met with safe passage as well fill any voids that need filling take care Capt. Looking forward to the next episode and thank you for sharing…
Safe travels Christian. You've inspired me to take my first sailing lesson, this summer. Here in the UK we have the RYA and I'll be qualified to level 1 and 2. I can't wait, but I must say you highlight how much there is to learn!
Terrific! You've done an enormous amount of prep as always and more this time. We all have much to learn from you. Safe sails and looking forward to the updates. Take care Sir!
Delighted to read that Thelonius is now in Oahu... heartened to understand Christian is there as well! Thanks for sharing the noon position reports in the description -- I'm just in awe again.
I'm so excited to learn you're going on another voyage! And like Ms. McKenna says below in her comments, I am also selfishly excited to believe another great book describing your voyage hopefully will be coming after your return. Of course, of equal pleasure will be watching your videos. Fair winds and following seas!
"I have done everything I could, everything is in the hands now of, well, me" well said and true! Looking forward to watching you're voyage! Fair winds from Redondo Beach
Best of luck, sir. I've had several inspirations via TH-cam for my recent decision (two years ago) to once again buy a boat (my 1987 Norseman 400, Blue Venture) but your single-handed Hawaii passage videos were the first and among the most powerful (quietly powerful). I recently moved her to the East coast via 2000 nm of sailing plus a truck-aided portage from San Diego to Seabrook, TX. Thanks for all of the great content!!
Fair winds and following seas, my friend !!! I wish you the best of luck! I've truly enjoyed listening to and watching your thoughts and plans unfold! Can't wait for an update.
I'm glad to see you back sir. I think thelonious is happy you bring the life for the boat the improvement you did ,there is a lot of lessons in your journey and episodes as alwayes, take care and good luck.
I'd love to see your provision list, and the spares you bring . I am doing that trip next year. Thanks for the videos. I am sure your trip is over already. But I wish you safe seas.
Great news Christian !!!! That's the spirit !! Fair winds and good trip. The good Gods of sailing be in your favour !! Don't forget to let us know when you step on dry land at the end of the adventure !!! Cheers from Muros
It would have been great to follow you all the way. Oh well, you made it without anyone looking. Hoping for a few videos on your trip back. Take care man and best wishes.
Love these videos. I'm preparing my lil sailboat for my first "long" journey, and I kinda like the preparation phase. Will soon enough find out if it was enough.
The witty narration style of these videos makes this channel one of my favourites on TH-cam! Safe sailing, Christian!
I would pour a dash of spirits into the sea for good measure
I’m selfishly excited that you’re going again. Another book would be a kindness; I’ve memorized Alone Together and Philosophy. Your cooperation will be deeply appreciated. Fair winds.
I am hoping for another book also!!! I have read the first two twice each
Me gusta mucho

Bon voyage, Christian. Loved your secret smile at the end "I have done everything I could, everything is in the hands now of, well, me" :-)
Glad to see you enjoying life

Godspeed Christian.
Have a safe journey Christian.
Can't wait to see your upcoming videos. Have a safe trip, bon voyage.
God Speed, Captain. Safe travels along the way and until you arrive our golden coasts of Hawaii Nei. 🤙

Greatest closing line - ever -
I think I am seeing a lifetime of ideas and upgrades to make a better boat. Bravo!

You’re such an inspiration for tons of us!
Cheers from a Brazilian fan on the Bay Area of San Francisco, CA!

Wonderful news. Stay safe Mr Williams and enjoy 🇬🇧
After 3 days out you start talking to yourself, 4 days you answer back , 5 days you start to actually sleep, 6 days you can’t remember if it’s been 3 or 4 days, 7 days and your just going along and getting some place. 8 days and it’s looking for things to fix or make better.
Why is this best sailing channel? This man can write and speak well.
There's a great pleasure to see a boat set up for voyaging by someone that clearly knows the art and craft of such an undertaking.
Mr Williams, your videos are always enjoyable and educational. Thank you for taking us along on your journeys! MP in Venice Beach.
You are not alone. Fair winds.
No music. No drone shots. No shots of the winch with the sea in the background. Simple video production. All I can say is.... Thank you! Be safe young man!
Excellent news. This will sustain us through a Southern Hemisphere and NZ winter
I hope your enjoying your trip. Fair winds.
When I saw your video installing the Cape Horn wind vane I immediacy thought Hawaii was on your mind again.
Watching from my first full day on the Big Island. I flew, but dreaming of one day sailing my '81 Hunter 33 over here from SF! Safe travels Christian!
Have a safe and enjoyable trip! Your wooden steering vane rudder looks beautiful!
Bon Voyage! I will be listening to your audiobook as you sail off to chase the sunset
So great you're going again! I'll be following from home .

Admiration and appreciation to you for your continued excellence in documenting your passion for sailing Sir Christian Williams.
