- Episode #224 : Season 8 : The Hawaiian Adventures
Hello Friends,
On this weeks episode I awake under anchor at Kaneohe Bay to the lush smell of the rainforest blowing into the cabin from a light offshore breeze. After a beautiful sunrise and some morning coffee I head over to He'eia Boat Harbor to pick up Kimberly Wood ( linktr.ee/Salt... ) , professional photographer and all around adventurer, to join me for some exploration of Kaneohe Bay.
Our first stop was to check out the famous Sandbar at Kaneohe. The Sandbar is a large submerged "beach" or sorts that at low king tides is exposed but for most of its life it sits in 2-4 feet of water. It is a popular boating site with the locals and a very unusual experience.
We went on to explore several of the countless coral reefs that around scattered around the bay and saw a great number of fish, a spotted eagle ray, and sea turtles.
After dinner we did some night snorkeling and had some fun encounters with a schooling banner fish who kept coming around to check me out.

Really pleased to see this sailor's face thaw. Smiling with his eyes, too. Laughing & enjoying his life, solo. Even though he did not plan to be alone. It makes for strength. Best Wishes to you, James.
I second that emotion.
Finally!!! A REAL sailor and a real sailing channel! Refreshing...well done!
'there's no camera that can capture what I am looking at' - as a phtotographer thats so true and i live for those moments where i realise what is infront of me can only be appreciated by the eyes and the spirit.
That was exactly my thought when I stood at the rim of the grand canyon for the first time.
No clue what she was laughing at but couldn’t help laughing with her. 😂
Yep. Those two are banging for sure. As soon as I saw her another video I knew something was going on.
Thank you for the beautiful sensitive music you play
Played a few football games on the sandbar, got married 30 years ago at the foothills of thoes mountains! GET OUT AND SEE THE WORLD!!!
Thanks James for sharing your amazing Journey!!
Your channel is my go to when day is done. Love ya, James
Outstanding my friend. Thanks for sharing. What a beautiful Snorlking partner.
Truly beautiful to see
💜⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
You two😊😊 Are endless smiles together ⭐️☀️⭐️
May you both 😊😊have many many years together ⛵️⛵️🌎💜
one of the best songwriters (poet) in my land (Franco Battiato) in one of his best works said: "if she smiles she has already decided ...." I like your style, happy people are contagius..... I wish good wind to you....
That’s one of my favorite smells but it’s riding horses in the woods after the dew has fallen or after a rain shower. Waking up before Dawn just to sit & drink Coffee & contemplate the day before making breakfast. Sometimes even comparable views..
I love this comment 🙏🏻
Glad to see you continue the journey, friend.
All i can say ,that was beautiful
The sea monster a conger eel lol, we have those in the Bristol Channel in the UK. They are good eating and fight like hell when catching them with a rod. A good video again, can't wait for your next one.
Beautiful stuff James
Thank You 🙏🏻
Yeah dude another fun video and your friend is so bubbly and full of giggles its cool to see her in the video!
Your living the life man ! Love your videos thanks for sharing ! 😎
Thanks for this, brings back memories of survivalist camping on bicycle! entering an area that was very pristine and waking to the smell of it!
.thanks for sharing this great video. Happy times :)
Rock on dude, looks like you're enjoying yourself.
Glad to see you happy bro and living life to the fullest. Love from 🏴
Woke up to that so many times when I was in the Marine Corps.
Digging the laid back views in the beginning… Awesome happy folks doing awesome things together… Nice
AWESOME...I KNOW THAT SMELL . You are Blessed...🥂
Beautiful! I really enjoyed the music, and can only imagine what the rain forest smells like. Simply wonderful. Thanks.
Awesome! Your description of the smells and sights are what appeals to me so much about your videos in addition to the videos themselves. We really live in a beautiful world and you’re exploring many of the harder to reach land and seascapes & it’s like we are on this journey with you James. Really awe inspiring and magical 💞🙏✨
I really enjoy your channel, my husband is a longshoreman, it takes a lot of cahones to travel that distance solo. God Bless on your travels thru the Pacific #enjoyingtheJourney 🕊🙏🌼
I always look forward to your videos in these crazy times!
Beautiful experience.
Thank-you, Sir.
I will just have to settle for the pine sol smell on my floor! Being a California girl who is now in landlocked Oklahoma, when I close my eyes I can still smell the still familiar salt water from the Pacific that I miss so much. Safe travels!
Amazing, as always, James! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us dude, glad to see you living your best life like this!
Your footage looks like a live painting. Amazing!
Aloha,
Another beautiful day in Hawaii nei. Enjoy the beauty.
Be safe !!!
The sun hitting the Koolau's is special.
Hello James my friend! Just beautifull! A haiku from the 16 Century Zen poet Basho:
"Let my name
be traveller...
first rains"
Buenos vientos from Argentina 😁
There are times when a portion of the sandbar is totally exposed (no water, just sand). When this occurs, it's like a football game tailgate out there. The number of sailing vessels, motor boats, water craft of all kinds and people at the sandbar when this happens is a party! BTW, I laughed when you talked about the fish being so skittish. I wonder why? I enjoyed this video. Night diving here is on my list of things I need to experience. Mahalo!
Really enjoying your videos, James. I'm glad I discovered your channel. Thanks for all you do and are, brother.
Thank you again for another lovely video! It is the next best thing to being there. I do wish I could have experienced the forest scent on your boat, though. I also really enjoyed seeing the coral reefs. Plus, Kimberly has a contagious laugh/giggle!
This make me cry. I had a boat in Kaneohe. We sailed out if the channel during the tsunami.
My wife is from here, the bay is such a special place. So glad to see you making the most of this anchorage.
I think the tall ship in the bay is a sailing school for young boys. Could be worth visiting and chatting to share your experience crossing the Pacific.
Thank you for another inspiring video James! I live in the midwest but have been obsessed with sailing ever since getting hooked on Patrick O'Brien years ago, and I've only been in the sea once in St. Croix 2016. I've been working on a novel of my own for the past couple years where sailing is a big component and your videos have helped give context and demonstrative understanding about something that you are knowledgeable and passionate for. I cannot express how valuable your insight and love for the sea has been to me. Keep living this amazing life you've built for yourself and keep on doing what you do. Fair winds.
AMAZING COLOURS
Amazing Sunrise!!! ☀️
Aloha~ The Ko'olau's and this side is truly magical...folks say it is, "Gods Country." I can't argue that.....(Keep Country country : ))
Y’all definitely smashing
Back in my High School days, this is where I took the fastest, most concentrated Water-skiing lessons in my life! My friends were towing me in the boat on my skis, & every time I fell in they screamed; "Hammerhead"!🦈( lol) I swear I was water skiing like a pro in no time!
😂😂😂
Amazing content though love it
Love the channel ❤️ cheers 🇨🇦
Wow James! this is the time of your life.. I like how the video is real and chill. I'm tryn to start my engine on my Sceptre 36 after a top end rebuild and head gasket change here in Canada and its minus 13!! Iced in and dreaming of warm tropical reefs. Really appreciate you sharing your experience it means a ton just knowing places like that exists, makes me move forward in a cold and rough winter here. Thanks brother. Hope to see you out there on the ocean. Thanks for the inspiration Captain. MiKL PoTtS cinematographer ICG IATSE 667
THANK YOU. Thank you for being the REAL DEAL. Someone who truly loves the sea, loves sailing and dreams of sailing to beautiful, exotic places in our beautiful world. As opposed to just another rich TH-camr who 'putts' occasionally while playing with daddy's money, trying to be 'edgy' with the marina dock yacht set in bikinis' and exotic alluring poses, POVing for Patreon donations... Just a guy who loves to sail because he loves the sea and wants to see the world. What a unique and refreshing change to EVERYONE else... Thanks for that... Seriously man, for my sanity: Thanks.
Thank you thank you 🙏🏻 yeah I just love beautiful things and collecting memories and enjoy sharing what I see
Coincidentally, I paused my screen at 13:23. Now I'm an old man. The shot is stunning by the way she's got her shot set up.
Well, was going to say the Green Turtles were the highlight until I saw that eel. Yes, scary at night, sharks even more so.
Your living real life Bro ! We living half life on couch ..The Beibe was very interesting in and out
Get out and enjoy the world bro!!
@@patrickjames1080 no worrie bro i do ,Butt that is another Level
The land breeze came in just after nine, softly at first, stealing across the water freighted with the rich fragrance of moist earth and flowers, tinged a bit with the smell of burning wood. And as it increased, the schooner stretched her chain and swung around with her bowsprit fixed on some flickering fires spread wide across the mountains. A halyard tapped, a dog barked, and under it all lay the low, melodious roar of the restless ocean grinding it’s teeth on the shore.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That's crazy, how far out you are and its so shallow lol. Your camera work is badazz bro!. The turtles are awesome!
I went night snorkeling with manta rats in Hawaii. One of my best experiences ever.
I love Hawaiian manta rats,
Terrific video. Thanks. Last week I was sailing on the Sea of Cortez, the guys on board wanted to talk about Colin on Parlay Revival fixing the broken bulkheads on his Lagoon, and "That guy James who sailed _halfway to Hawaii with a broken rudder."_ That's five guys who are going to make sure they learn about and stow drogues.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I hope you had fun on the trip and it got you stoked for your future of cruising 👍🏻 let me know how the test sail goes
Had to watch this one after seeing your new spread! Thanks again SailorJames i am inspired by how you thrive and live. Was this always your dream what did you do before the⛵️?
I got turned onto sailing in 2014 and set myself on a path to make it my life. Before that I was pursuing an art career and was showing regularly at galleries and museums.
It is an amazing place to dive and snorkel, but K Bay has some and many very big tiger sharks so keep your head on a swivel when in the water there. When I was stationed at K Bay for 3 years and every time we dove we saw tigers.

Sick National Geographic shirt.
you totally convinced me to grow my hair again.. shot bro
I really really enjoyed that first section with the sunrise, such a beautiful thing too see. Must have been magic in real life. May I ask what the tattoo on your left elbow inside is, is it a monkey or something like that? Take care and be well!
Ahoy James! New sub here. I like your down to earth sailings vlogs. Your selection of background music is spot on. I live in a dense forest and the fragrance is divine. Literally... divine. Cheers!
Hey man! stumbled on your channel on a youtube wormhole, went into work and told my buddy Bryan about out it and turns out you all know each other from insta! love watching your vids
“Smells like the forest”
Dang bro you got lucky usually Kaneohe smells like fast food restaurants and diesel exhaust
That being said, our island is effing beautiful
Love this but I’ve checked out some of your sailing ⛵️ wish I could be 1 hour in and I would be so sick I have the worst time with motion sickness from boats
Make sure the coast guard dosen’t check her backpack. Lol.
Wow that nitxive looks assume Im going to do that
i love your lady friend(miss giggles)
What are the regulations on anchoring in kaneohe and being able to stay on the boat? I camt find much online and im a bit new to boating. I see theres a speciap anchor zone on the map at heeia. Thx
You can only stay in one anchorage for 72 hours at a time. But you can anchor at the sand bar, by turtle island, by secret beach and by the Kbay yacht club so you can easily move around
@@SailorJames sweet thanks!!!!
That’s not a knife. This is a knife.
Hey James, I don't have money to join Patreon but I always give a view and a like! I love watching your travels man...be safe...
Edit: I peeped your Nat Geo shirt, there is a channel called Casual Geographic you may wanna check out ... I find him hilarious
🙂
That reef seemed very absent of fish and general sealife considering how healthy the coral looked. Your comment about the fish being skittish made me think that maybe since it was so accessible that maybe all the people have scared away a fair chunk of the sealife? Or is that not protected in there from fishing?
Yeah the reefs inside the bay don’t have as many fish but that might be due to its distance from the open ocean ? The reefs on the westside of the island have more abundant fish maybe because they are in the open ocean, I am no expert so not sure.
I want to be there with ye!
You have an INMAR tender?! We have a 340r-ys side console…im a dealer if you need anything
Yeah I love my dinghy, the air floor is a godsend
next time kimberly is on i would enjoy her taking a minute to talk about her camera.
We talked about Kimberly’s background a bit on “ Exploring Electric Beach on Oahu with Professional Photographer Kimberly Wood
th-cam.com/video/r4sEKg_Brds/w-d-xo.html “
Also trying to get her to do a live stream with me and she can talk more about her camera gear on there 👍🏻
A man's soul is a garden of rocks. What does grow must be tended with love and care. The ocean is calling. Her beauty seductive. Her anger unforgiving. She is the garden in my soul.
So you are still here on Oahu. Boat repaired...I am serious, if you like to do lunch, I like to meet you. I can pick you up
That was be killer weed
Seen any Great Whites along the way?
Hawaii doesn’t have local great whites and the only great whites that come here are just passing through and have only been documented feeding on a dead sperm whale a few years ago. Hawaii’s big sharks are Tiger sharks, I have yet to see any.
Off the coast of California there is
James I would like to make a one time donation but I don't use PayPal can I just transfer it directly to your account on my online banking? I'm in the UK 🇬🇧
Maybe the fish are as skittish as land creatures are when an earthquake is imminent.
Is the fiancé Back again?
Fiancé? I was married and my wife left me and no this is not her.
Pretty woman,just sayin….
They seem great together and she keeps laughing! Lol you never knowwwww
