[@jackmeyers40]

I have been binge watching your channel. At work SHhHHh. You videos take me away from this place I have to be.

[@loubonaparte5063]

This channel is friggin awesome!!! People are missing out not following James' adventure... to say he has guts is an understatement!! Thanks for taking us along, and I wish you endless success in this channel and your adventures.

[@brianmcguire5189]

I was in the Tuamotes 10 years ago, James im jealous cause you’re in Paradise brother! Thanks for your videos cause this old sailor just can’t make them long passages anymore! Fair winds✌️✌️✌️

[@tireflipper8000]

I love that you provide us land locked folks a wonderful sense of freedom and adventure. Thank you for what you do brother.

[@lynettesharp7728]

Hi James! So fun to be along with you on this passage. Glad it went smoothly and look forward to checking out the village with you! Peace and love to you. ✌ ❤

[@passengershamingparody]

he's back, baby!

[@TheWrightAdvantures]

Your intro to your videos is so calming. Great channel man!

[@MrDavedraver888]

Love this channel with its wild ocean adventures and knowledgeable content for us rookies, it really is helpful .ie the slack water thing in the lagoon.. Thanks James for being a true star

[@Ahahahhaaah]

What a small world, I lived in rangiroa for a year a couple years back. Idk if you refueled or explored the town but my ex in-laws own the shell gas station there as well as the fueling station for boats there on the dock. His names Francis. It’s a beautiful little atoll but the real beauty is the outer little strips of land which have beautiful beaches and have crystal clear lagoons. Enjoy your travels. If you go to Tikehau, ask for Moises! Super nice guy, same family, he’ll be your best friend and show you good Tahitian food.

Another piece of paradise to explore. I'm still trying to get a floating crane to my house in order to get my boat off its wrecked boat lift post Ian. 🧜‍♂

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi James how’s everything going it looks good how is Kimberly going have you heard from her love your videos keep up the good work Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia from the big island

[@philipcoleman8184]

I don't have your experience and my boat is a couple of feet shorter than yours. Here in winter the seas can be quite difficult, basesd on the west of Scotland. I'm trying to gauge what i can sail. Whats the highest waves you have had to contend with to date.. Do you sail into them or with them? Thanks Phil.

[@BuckeyeChuck11]

I have even less experience than you, sir, I assure you! However, another YT Sailor named Erik Aanderaa and his channel No Bull**** Just Sailing (NBJS) intentionally sailed into a Force 10...and destroyed my last fear of seeing the world on an adventure of a lifetime. If you haven't seen this, I promise you should check it out!

[@dnch]

love the vid, but i need to know what music is that piano in the intro, anybody knows?

[@willyum1208]

What are you using for up to date tide tables? You find its accurate?

[@sergeidolbin2775]

I'm extremely happy for you James following your dream and a plan to sail the World and share it. I also have a beautiful seasoned classic in 1971 Hallberg-Rassy 33 Mistral getting ready to live it's creators vision out in the Oceans. I was wondering if you could suggest an insurance that you ended up carrying in order to be allowed and admitted in marinas and foreign countries? Thank you again! Fair winds ...

[@Xenibalt]

whoa! show us the 30 knot storm when it happens?

[@yakekaj]

Hi man, hope you are well. I have a genuine question (and in no way a criticism). When anchoring and floating the chain does this reduce the security of the anchor due to the pull of the ride not being along the seabed? (Ignoring the necessity to float chain to avoid snagging). Peace, brother ✊

[@SailorJames]

The chain on the sea floor and scope don’t do their job unless the winds are blowing twenty or over or unless there is a big surge, when the winds or surge pick up, the floats sink and the scope goes to work. The rest of the time the weight of the anchor and it being buried and set hold the boat perfectly secure.

[@yakekaj]

@Sailing Triteia Cool, man... knowledge shared!! Have a great day🤘

[@kiwi6444]

How far South into the Pacific do you plan to sail?

[@Abc-kf4qx]

What are your thoughts on adding a Bimini ?

[@SailorJames]

I have a removable sunshade, there is no room for a Bimini

[@Freetalkfm]

Hey bro i just watched a vid from 1 year ago , lost your rudder i commented liked and subscribed 👊😎

[@Freetalkfm]

Its always been a dream of mine to do what your doing im 48 separated and its never too late .

[@james2398]

Has there ever been enough wind to wear a sale boat has capsized?

[@SailorJames]

Wind doesn’t capsize boats only waves capsize boats

[@Gestion_Cultural]

hello James, can you navigate the pacific with the title of yacht skipper? or should you be Captain?

[@vincentconnolly2597]
