Thank you for making these videos. If you ever get disheartened while at sea, please remember you are inspiring a ton of people.

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.

@SailorJames 28 дней назад

I was super bummed not to get to visit Tonga, I will someday, it is said to be amazing

@lawrencelizewski9625 Год назад

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.

@billyriordan2712 Год назад

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.

@jasonmcintosh2632 Год назад

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.

@vindolanda6974 Год назад

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.

@wolfganghofmann3977 Год назад

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.

@risasb Год назад

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.
