Dude i have never been happier for another human being. You are in the true rhythm and it’s beautiful to watch. You’re entire being and relationship to the sea feels like it takes me back 300 years ago. I mean that in the best possible way. And nice to see a day in the life. Blessings James.
@@luckyman9903 Got it sir. You may continue your quest for validation through petty corrections elsewhere. You're work here is done. But please make note--in this day and age when folks are in casual conversation through threads and such--you're point has become rote and tired. Have a good one pal.
@@dixinbuttz44 Friend nobody has seen ‘everything’ possible. His comment was his reflection on what he has seen to date. Isn’t that hard to interpret in his comment and apply knowledge. Love your VLOGS James.
Im of tongan lineage born and raised in los angeles. Tongan islands are right next door and im going up there to visit fam. I must say im jealous. For a man to be on a boat in the middle of endless ocean for days and weeks and months, with no signt of land, and to navigate through that, such is a mans voyage through life. We all have our own journeys, blessed that you are sharing yours with us.
James.. thanks for letting us live vicariously through your videos. There's 6 inches of snow outside my window right now and seeing even a little sunshine through my computer monitor helps.
Mate did you say your wife left you, mate she,s crazy, she dont no a good think, while she,s got it, hats off bro, your elvis presley on a boat, may god and the wind be in your corners, happy sailing ,chears
While I am on Spring Break (I work at a middle school), watching your video is so relaxing! I appreciate the 55 minutes of taking my mind away from things! Thank you!
Dollar for dollar and knot for knot, I think Triteia is the most solid cruiser value in the South Pacific right now. It helps to have a no-nonsense Captain as well, of course.
The beginning music and monologue always gives me this massive sense of nostalgia. For what, I don’t know. This channel is one of my favorites on TH-cam 😊
The other solo-sailor channel I watch is Adventures of an Old Sea Dog. I'm very surprised at how different your sailing experience is from his. You're cool and calm, at least on the outside. Even when your rudder broke, you're like "ok, well we need to deal with this...". The Sea Dog is constantly having problems with sailing his boat. Constantly not being able to make progress in the direction he's trying to go. Constantly stressed about his motor, etc. I love watching his journey too, he seems like a decent guy, but the contrast between you two is quite amazing to me.
I watched a couple of his videos too. My quick take - James is on his life's mission which he worked towards for years, so he is well prepared. The Old Sea Dog seems to have done plenty of ocean sailing and doesn't have such a sense of purpose now, maybe he doesn't put such effort into preparation.
@@vindolanda6974old sea dog is a super nice guy I’ve met him twice. He is just a different age and different point in life he is starting his completion of the entire globe right now
As a midwesterner that’s never sailed and at my age I most like never will. I am so envious of your lifestyle. I can’t imagine doing what you do. Mind you I’m not complaining because I have a great life yours is just different. Keep sharing your life I absolutely love watching your adventures. Stay safe my friend and enjoy what you do.
There’s nothing I enjoy more on TH-cam than riding along with you around the world. Thank you! Im currently living in a van but As soon as I get a job, I’ll support the channel
Yay so happy you made it safe!! Sure am glad your engine decided to turn on, I was worried with you! Suva’s historical sites & museums are pretty cool. Loved spending time in Tavarua. Looking forward to your next video & mahalo for taking us along with you 🤙🏼🌊⛵️
Great discovery on, TH-cam. Been traveling all over the world, since leaving cuba, back in 71-I was sixbat such time. Been wanting to sail in the south Pacific, since spending time in Bora Bora, 30 years ago, and youve planted a seed in my mind to accomplish, such. Thank you. Safe travels mate.
James, I’m an avid watcher now, for over the last 2 years. Have enjoyed the journey, along with your simplistic narration. It’s like watching one of the great movies where he says “life’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get.” We are all on a Journey, and many of us like the water, and your videos, and editing, tells an awesome story of adventure. Just wanted to say Thanks for the ride.
Awesome, outstanding and amzing what you do and did ! My deepest respect, ⛵James. YOU live your dreams, remember me to Thor Heyerdahl - who many millions never ever try it -- maybe me too - I am so exited to see your adventures in the videos - my best regads from "boring" Germany , at the city limits of northern Berlin. ONE day I will follow your footsteps, I promise ... Good luck pal, good wind and best sailing waether for you and the ⛵Triteia;-) God Neptun bless you !!💪
Hi Captain, when you made the raw fish with the coconut sauce, it made me hungry. Very hungry. But in my box, there were only sardines!!!!!....thank you for sharing, nice video.
Ive just ordered new electronics and next month I haul out my boat. Blister work, rudder, bottom paint and finish the rewiring taking out original 40 year old wires for new. Your journey helps me push through the tough moments. I'm willing to pay my adventure tax. Thanks and fair winds to you.
I can’t justify killing a large mahi or other big fish that I would catch, when I can’t freeze the rest of the fish. If there were two of us on board I would be fishing daily.
Wow lovely hope u have enjoyed your visit. It's SAVUSAVU not suvasuva😂.SAVUSAVU COPRA SHED MARINA.Thanks for posting the experience you had done.Loved watching it once again vinaka vakalevu
Thanks James you’re one of the best inspiration to get out there and sail . I’m retired buying a boat in March , I live in the bay / delta area of Northern California, I don’t have any sailing experience, hopefully I can start slow and learn around the bay here . Stay safe my friend .
Great choice of music on this episode. Beginning reminds me of Tom Hanks Cast Away film. Amazing how much power is in a sail that Gybes unintended, considering all that power has to be transmitted through the cloth via all those little stitches and eventually shatter your winch base along with its metal bolts.
Hello friends,my name is James .hello James you are a master class .you make me feel like I'm onboard.the only thing that's separates us is the screen.you are the best and the most exciting solo sailor.please just for one episode can I request you wear a tricone.
James, this is by far the best channel I have come across. I can't speak for anyone else, but you make me feel like I would stand a chance exploring the world on a small boat. Thank you!
Next time when in port, get some starting fluid. Read about the dangers of the fluid and use safely. It helps with diesel engines that are not eager to start.
Great episode! Lots going to make something this watchable. You have many talents. Thanks for sharing this. I stumbled upon you while doing some research after reading The Wager, by David Grann. If you haven’t read it it will reinvigorate your desire to sail alone!😅
You made me laugh when you figured out your video wasn't recording i just got this thought of you talking to yourself for hours lol.....i love your videos.
I really enjoyed this video. I subscribed because this is real. I like this dude. James, you're inspiring me man! I was going to build a geodesic dome in NM, I think my focus has changed. Keep up the cool videos James. I hope to meet you on the way.
Weather people have gotten better with the predictions with all the equipment; but, Grandmother/Gaia does what she pleases and for that matter so do the Sea Gods/Goddess’ lol

Good job, James - you are easily the most watchable solo-sailor on U-toob 🙂
You haven't seen every sailor on TH-cam jk
Noooooo Holly from Wind Hippy Sailing or Mat and Amy from Sailing Florence
@@russellclement2058 my favourite is Sam Holmes but it’s all personal preference. There are many really great sailing TH-cam channels!

How to Sail Oceans is the best sailor on youtube.
Thank you for making these videos. If you ever get disheartened while at sea, please remember you are inspiring a ton of people.

I was super bummed not to get to visit Tonga, I will someday, it is said to be amazing
💯💯💯
This is the first video that has left me utterly speechless.
James.. thanks for letting us live vicariously through your videos. There's 6 inches of snow outside my window right now and seeing even a little sunshine through my computer monitor helps.
I second this , snow and landlocked... Fml
@@ToddMoore1 I third this, Montana has been pretty rude lately.
"First land I've smelled since American Samoa." Bro! Sailing over the 180th Meridian. That totally blows my mind. Fair winds to you.
Mate did you say your wife left you, mate she,s crazy, she dont no a good think, while she,s got it, hats off bro, your elvis presley on a boat, may god and the wind be in your corners, happy sailing ,chears
Congrats on your crossing from Pago Pago to Suva Suva! For what its worth, I'm very proud of you! Enjoy your travels..👍☮
Savu Savu, not Suva Suva. Suva - just Suva - is the capital of Fiji in SE Viti Levu.
❤your content brother. Very enjoyable to watch, chill out and escape. Thanks for allowing us to share the journey.
While I am on Spring Break (I work at a middle school), watching your video is so relaxing! I appreciate the 55 minutes of taking my mind away from things! Thank you!
I grew up on the water in the UK, if I wasn’t married with kids and all that drama, I would 100% be doing this. What an awesome experience
@@MaxRank you can do it!! 🌅and with kids it can be even more meaningful! 🫶✨
Dollar for dollar and knot for knot, I think Triteia is the most solid cruiser value in the South Pacific right now. It helps to have a no-nonsense Captain as well, of course.
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
It has to be so satisfying and fulfilling to be under sail power with just the sounds of the sea.
Thanks for another fab vid!
The beginning music and monologue always gives me this massive sense of nostalgia. For what, I don’t know. This channel is one of my favorites on TH-cam 😊
I love this comment
Adventure should be rewarded
Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you 🙏🏻 happy to hear this
Awesome video! Thank you James. These long format sailing videos are probably my favorite.
I was worried about you!
But you are the man!
🩷🩵❤️💙❤️💜💛💚🩶🤎🤍
Loved it James! 100% Thank you and fair winds until next time
I get seasick watching the boat rolling but I keep watching!
😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Bro i could watch you sail for hours and hours if i haven't already. You really inspired me to follow my dreams. You really deserve way more sibs.

When things get crazy… you stay so calm❤

What a dream, to be able to sail as you have.

james, another nice passage ,good job i injoyed the whole pic thanks
Would like to see u do more fishing in those awesome waters. And better dinner than pasta every meal for you!
I can’t justify killing a large mahi or other big fish that I would catch, when I can’t freeze the rest of the fish. If there were two of us on board I would be fishing daily.
Thankyou for sharing your life with us
Bro, the fish with the coconut and lime, we call it Kinilaw in the Philippines. Easy to remember. Enjoy Sailing
Living the dream
Poisson cru lait de coco translated from French is Coconut milk raw fish. Bon Appetite James!
Ha ha, buttoning off instead of button on. I do that way to often and it's always the best take that is missed🏴☠️

Great job James you are a great sailor I would love to do what you do maybe one day wish you the best of luck thanks for sharing.
Thank you James. Love your channel and all your commentary 🙂
Just wondering, has anyone gotten seasick watching your channel? Enjoy your fantastic adventures.
Many people have told me they have 😂
