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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 :-)
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!
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!
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…
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!
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.
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!
Best of luck, sir. I've had several inspirations via RU-vid 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!!
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.
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 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!!
"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
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
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.
Safe journey Christian. Very glad to see that you're back at it! I'll echo Dawn's earlier comment... I've memorized Alone Together and Philosophy. Two of my favorite reads. Cheers!
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!
