James you look like a pirate of old times in that thumbnail to this video.

Hey, good video. I sailed 8000nm over 4 years without an engine, and this is essentially how I did it too.

Fantastic mate! A real achievement.

Thank you! Inspiring.

i wanna see a halifax to newfoundland sail. apparently its one of the hardest

This is absolutely incredible. I’ve crossed the seas from San Diego to the Persian Gulf but onboard Naval vessels. I cannot fathom on a sail boat Solo. You Sir are a knowledgeable and brave Soul. God Bless You. Olympia WA

Hallberg-Rassy? Great choice.

VERY inspiring!!!

James, do you know that holding your thumb between your fingers like you do in the intro is the same as a middle finger. Just saying.

go dave 😀😀😀

This man, right here, is living the true dream. What an absolute legend. I envy what you have in your heart, sir. I truly do. All the best to you.

Awesome video man! Great work! Interesting journey

That model took my family and I from Florida to Indonesia trans Pacific, on a Dufour Sortilege ketch. Had one shear on the safety link one night on route to Suvarow… the only problem ever.

Great videos man. So interesting to watch and also very inspiring!

You know that's a tree right ? So cool ,good job .

A Booking -- to use a damn Bridge ?? Why do they THINK they put the 😡 thing IN, in the First Place ? I hope you gave them a salute on your way out.

I just got a 1969 Alberg 30 that I'm restoring what are some things I should look for in the restoration? Mine is mostly solid, i need to repair my mast beam, but that's not too hard

👍❤

My old youthful stamping ground. The ruins in the background is the Wilson Cement works. I spent summers swimming in the fresh water lake behind. I lived not far away in Pulham Rd. My Dad was a boat builder at Sandspit. My brothers and I used to paddle down the river to Dawsons Rd. Big eels live in the fresh water lake. They will come and check you out when you swim.

Amazing Journey. Inspiring. Sailed a lot on lake Michigan in my teens. My buddys dad had a 36 footer we learned a lot. Now in my early 40s really tbinking about buying a vessel for hopping around the Carribean.

My world is much different (and boring) than yours, so it brings me much joy to see your travels. I wish you safe travels and the best in all your endeavors.

Great stuff. Just a comment on yacht clubs though. Many sailors, myself included, have good experiences with yacht clubs. I grew up in one, and it was my home during the summer season on SF Bay for many years while my parents were busy working. I started as a student, became an instructor, then a professional sailor, racing 4 different boats a week, big boat series, 145' schooner in Master Mariner race to Maui, etc. I know where you're coming from with the shirt slogan, and the pretentious snobbery that exists in 'yacht' clubs, but the majority of the experience is positive, and yacht clubs do a lot of work to organize and operate races and sailing schools, which benefit all sailors in some way. Who knows, maybe a current or former yacht club member nearby on a cruising yacht rescues your ass in the middle of a storm, and you're wearing that shirt. That'd be embarrassing. Best of luck and smooth sailing.

Story's like this leave out a lot,,like I have a 50million $$$ inheritance

Pay check to paycheck how did you have time to work wen all th e tilme on the boat, just xant figure all this activity in a 24gr period

My question is wher dies the money come from to do all thus non working fun activities,,,now RUN TO JESUS

This is mental 😂seeing so much water and having your rudder break is crazy, nightmare fuel just float til you run out of water & food

Fun trip. Better with Two people. Enjoying the world and those wonderful oceans. All those sights. Places and people. Good for you brother...James, Santa Monica, CA - US Army Veteran. walking on Santa Monica beach daily for Cardiac Rehab. ANNENBERG BEACH HOUSE. If you're ever off shore holler. lol Be safe! Oh, my wife is VP Warner Bros Studio, worked on RAMBO. Expendables, Mel Gibson: 'Blood Father' 267 others 31 years. I will share your story with her and others. Maybe a film can be made of your adventures. Would be a great 2 hour flick. Seeing the world and facing all those 'Challenges'. Need a plot point. Be safe

Did you stay in Australia or did you sail the 12k miles back?

On a cool winter's day I found this little gem and snuggled down to enjoy a place I've never been in a land that I have always called home and one in which I've been known to roam and I thank you for your sharing this experience with us with so little 'noise' and so little fuss.

See any maids?

Hi. Is your anchor Mantus? And haw heavy is it? Its looking that your chain is 10 mm. Fair winds and Good luck!

Fix it going to fix I got your back. I’m watching you. You can do it.😊

Thanks for sharing your incredible life with all of us. I am left in awe , speechless, envious, you are a special human being. God bless you forever and ever. Thank you again, so much!!!

Do you need any licenses or certifications to do what you do like? Sailing the boat around the world

I know I'm late leaving this comment. But do you need any certificates or licenses to do what you do?

Excellent speaker. Teacher. Man with tremendous Passion for life and sailing. After my US Army Tour ended I needed to calm down so a friend gave me some advice, 'Start sailing and it will keep you calm'. He was so right. I bought a small FINN racing sailboat and and just enjoyed my days leaving Marina del Rey, California weekly and sailing along the coast of Santa Monica and Malibu. Just one with the ocean. This brought back a few memories. Not close to what you achieved but, sailing is fun and relaxing.

Wish I'd have known about your journey from the start. I'm a fine furniture maker, inspired to become a boat maker. I'd have done work on her for free. Cheers, from Chesbrough Cabinetry. Send me a message. I'm down to trade some skill for adventure.

As an avid boater I'm so happy for you and the incredible journey!

It seems that you didn’t follow your dreams, but they followed you as you lead the way. Your life is an inspiration! Thanks.

This is a random question but how noisy is it at sea when you are sleeping inside the boat? Do you wear ear plugs when outside in a storm? I have ear damage so this is the one thing that worries me about sailing

I enjoyed this speedy summary of your travels very much and it was refreshing to hear your account of 'follow your dreams' harsh reality. You are a stubborn guy but in the best way possible.

Great video. Fair play to you sir I salute 🫡 you

Ok so it's not a $2400 boat, it's a $32400 boat with 4 years of work put into it. TANSTAAFL :)

This was amazing seeing two people that I spend my quite boring evenings at my dining room table enthralled in each of their adventures chatting about being adventurers.. so natural and both seem so content. Inspiring to hear and watch !

Epic video. Thank you.

Now this is having a dream and living it.

#AmenBrother

Thanks!
