James is doing what less than 8% of the worlds population is doing…living a dream. The hitchhikers are doing it also thanks to people like James

@sofiairv6822 Год назад

@Voltomess Год назад

92% cannot afford that , living from check to check working in shitty jobs waking up every day to go to a shitty job that's the reality

@SailorJames Год назад

That’s what I did for my entire life until I made this life happen for myself

@kevparr Год назад

Love how you respected your neighbours when anchoring. We have spent the last 3 year's travelling the UK in our van, always respect our neighbours, still looking for a boat for our next adventure.

Nice of you James taking the hitchhikers over to Raiatea. It was also a nice contribution to this video.

James, I'm actually crying. I'll be where you are in 5 years I hope. This video is my personal vision of paradise. Thank you so much for sharing your life, and being so diligent with video. I, and we all, appreciate you. 🙏

@SailorJames Год назад

Mitch, you WILL be there in 5 years and I hope you send me a photo of you living this same life 👍🏻

@mvisinski Год назад

@@SailorJames I see no reason why I wouldn't James. This will be my second year of sailing on my '73 Mac 22, and you inspired my buddy. Thanks again without sounding insane. I'm hoping to get out of alberta this year, and into the British Columbia interior lakes, and learn some new stuff, see some new landscapes. When my kids are grown, ll be upgrading to a new boat, and heading for Hawaii then the French Polynesian islands. And then wherever. Couple more years, then I can live.

@G4ROshorts Год назад

Greetings from Armenia I love this couple, and I'm so happy that people living this style of life, I wish I cloud live like this one day ))))

That was a very interesting interview. Very nice people.

@blakecrawford5101 Год назад

Unreal. I remember so vividly diving in the pacific and feeling the whale song vibrating through my chest. Never saw one underwater but you knew they were there. Humbling, exhilarating, being in the presence of these animals traveling the world with us.

@LTUharis93 Год назад

more hitchikers! so interesting, and youre a great interviewer!

@never2late454 Год назад

In my youth back in the 70's I would do the same and hitch ride's from boat, to boat. It was some of the best times of my life.

@symphonyfarm2009 Год назад

Makes me so happy that people are still out there doing this! Good one James!

@talkaboutitoffgrid Год назад

That was pretty cool seeing the whales and the dolphins - what beautiful conditions, not for sailing, but for looking below - awesome!

@John_Long Год назад

Great video James, what a beautiful, chill passage! Loved the whales and dolphins especially. It was really nice of you to give the hitchhikers a lift too and what a great interview! Always nice to hear what other people are doing and get ideas for traveling in non-traditional ways. Hope you're enjoying the warm weather down there in NZ! Merry Christmas from icy Texas! May fair winds be with you! 🌬⛵

@neilrush659 Год назад

Wonderful video James, every video I see my dream to sail becomes even bigger, seeing all these amazing places that you have visited is awe inspiring to me. Thank you so much James for all your hard work, filming editing and finally uploading. One day James when I have my ducks in order I will get on the oceans and see this incredible planet a little more. Hope you're enjoying NZ and Triteia is doing well hopefully with an engine by now. Take care, safe travels....Neil.

@TechGorilla1987 Год назад

@4:43 - I think one of the most remarkable things about this freeze-frame is that there are two young people observing a potentially life-changing event and there is not one phone filming between them - not even a still camera. They are recording life with the minds-eye. Far better than all the megapixels in the world. I know the captain is filming, but that isn't my point.

Merry Christmas James. What a great passage seeing the humpbacks. Brings back memories of Christmas morning in 2005 in the Gulf Islands of BC, We were motoring down the trincomali straight and a pod of orcas came right at us, breaching on both sides of the boat. blowing and staring into our eyes less than 10 feet away. The most magical experience of my life. Thanks for the reminder. Fair winds and following seas my friend

@tubamansmom7012 Год назад

@DLionheart Год назад

TYVM James - That was an awesome peek into your world - loved every minute of it as I sit here, freezing my butt off in Western NC Mtns, USA! Your sailing-hitchers seem very cool indeed - bravo to them and bravo to you for taking them along. The spinners and the whales, along with the gorgeous calm seas and scenery were all completely magnificent! ~Blessings to you all for continued safe travels and happy, healthy, fun adventures ahead!

@Sunnysunshineshine Год назад

It was cool to see these powerful creatures close to you and your delight could almost be felt here on the other side of my screen. I think if I was there I could´t help jumping in the water 😍Thank you for sharing your magical moments with us.

@rm8281 Год назад

You three are great and I think you all are on the right path! When I get a sail boat I would like to meet up. Gob bless the three of you. Safe travels. 🖖😀

@robertworel5791 Год назад

James! Remember to travel alone. Less people less disaster. I ment to say it's a good idea to travel to Australia! Just DO NOT CROSS THE INDIAN OCEAN! A BIRD TELLS ME YOUR SAILS WILL FAIL AND YOU RUN OUT OF SUPPLIES. when you do realize it's better to be around "Less people Less Disaster" Australia is best. Make sure you stop at every supply hub in India, keep all supplies full at all times! Make sure you travel during winter months! You will roast like a chicken in the boat! LESS PEOPLE! LESS DISASTER!

@pserrao Год назад

Very nice video. And a cool couple. Do they have instagram to follow their voyage? What an adventure to do all that travel hitchhiking!!! Fair winds James

@08murphyuk Год назад

I might have missed a video where James explains, but I would love to know if he has a planned route, looks like he is going in the direction of bora bora, then onto Fiji, if he goes to Fiji I would live him to go do an episode visiting another well known RU-vid couple and there sailing boat VP, that they are currently renovating. I always love it when the RU-vid community do a meet up. 😁

@SailorJames Год назад

Yes I sailed from Bora Bora to American Samoa and then on to Fiji where I spent a month. I am now in NZ until April of 2023

@08murphyuk Год назад

@Sailing Triteia wow that's awesome!! I sometimes forget how difficult and time-consuming editing videos are, and you need to be ahead of time before you release the videos, same as everyone. Hope you're doing well and all the very best for new year 🤙

I have a whale whistle on board. It works really well. I picked it up from Shri Lanka.

@robertworel5791 Год назад

I may see you three in Australia sometime in the future for some great garden greens and good company! Until then, God bless your mind body and souls!🖖😉

@robertworel5791 Год назад

TOO PIERRE AND HIS WIFE ! Learn about the soil in Australia. The American natives lay fish on top of the soil to fertilize 🤯 and for the fresh water. You will need to put up moisture nets to collect condensation!! Only the smart and strong there!! Less people less disaster. It's all about collecting the water from the air and fertilizing the soil. And you need a good roof over your head as well. God bless your mind body and souls🤟🖖🦅🛫✈️🛬. Make sure you fly there it will be safer and healthier.😘

@robertworel5791 Год назад

Oh and to survive the summer time heat waves! You will need to digg a basement that's is ment to stay cool in extreme heat waves of the summer months.

@robertworel5791 Год назад

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hDW0TIvC4-s.html To Pierre and his wife! This is how you keep the moisture nets safe and secure when not in use during the day! Night time and morning time the water will condense. God bless and I wish you two to have a beautiful garden along with a enough water to drink and wash yourselves and any animals you may have.

@robertworel5791 Год назад

The "Adobe house" keeps you cool in extreme heat waves! Less people less disaster.

Yes I have a drone but have crashed it so many times it struggles

@RTexasUSA Год назад

I always love seeing your updates in my feed. It seems like it has taken you quite a while to get where you are across the South Pacific. I'm not saying to rush it by ANY means; but do you have an ETA for when you hope to complete your journey? I look forward to following you on all of your future adventures.

@SailorJames Год назад

All of my videos are several months delayed on RU-vid like most sailing channels, this is due to only releasing one video a week vs. how many amazing places I visit as well as creating a buffer for when I am at sea and in remote places that are impossible to upload from. I am currently in NZ and spent as much time as possible in the South Pacific before cyclone season arrived. As for completing the journey, my best guess on this first circumnavigation is I will be back in LA 2025 or 2026

@RTexasUSA Год назад

@paulbyas6833 Год назад

Can I ask you James what size boat do you think a solo sailer can handle...as in what is the biggest size ( 48 foot ) bigger or smaller solo sailer could sail by him or her self ??? Love your channel...Hitchin a boat ride fantastic 👏 👌

@SailorJames Год назад

I dont know why a solo sailor would want a 48ft boat. I think for solo sailing or short handed sailing, 40-42ft is a great size. Could you sail a 48ft boat solo? sure but the real question is can you dock in at a wharf or marina or fuel dock in high winds alone? thats when things get really hard.

@markleyg Год назад

Could never get enough baguettes while in Tahiti.

@SailorJames Год назад

Nah, no room to store it and I need the excise

@MizzAugust7 Год назад

Well thats your area & youre used to hitchhikers, me, I would be too afraid somebody wanted my boat after seeing a movie ( I know but it must have happened before ) like that once. Maybe big $ boats would be more at risk. Its summer in NZ now & cold in July, Im not sure how that is even possible. Looking forward to your next tour maybe you'll invest in a little scooter instead of killing your feet/legs :)

@SailorJames Год назад

I like the walking and so rarely have a chance for good exercise, but 17miles was A LOT 😂

@BoredInTheComments Год назад

I'd have to jump in with the whales lol

@james2398 Год назад

What does it mean when you say your using 5 scope or another number scope i think when anchoring?

@SailorJames Год назад

Scope refers to the amount of ground tackle (anchor chain) you have out vs. the depth of the water you are in. If you are in 20ft of water and you have 5 scope out it means you have 5 times the depth of the water (100ft). You should always be at least 5 scope if spending the night, 4 scope is ok in really deep water because the anchor and tackle are heavier in deep water (like 70ft deep)
