I think any sleep-deprived solo sailor could easily identify with those philosophical ramblings mid-ocean. ;-) Godspeed as you proceed underway to 79.

[@ChristianWilliamsYachting]

Hi Patrick, and Good on ya.

[@MiQBohlin]

This is a meeting of two of the very best channels in the sailing world. You guys are very reliable in telling a extraordinary story in a totally natural way. Without the unnecessary “constructed action” as others, only the naked truth of your own personal experience.

[@oldrider]

Laine & Williams, everything else is just fluff!

[@edwardfinn4141]

Christian Williams good on ya both. I’m sick of waiting out Covid… I’m going to the Carribean to sail my boat..

[@MiQBohlin]

@@edwardfinn4141 Sorry to hear that. What kind of boat are you sailing?

[@JasonWh]

I have learned one good lesson. "The art of single-handed sailing is mastery of reducing the decisions one must make under pressure". Thanks for the master class.

[@dulichion]

God, the last words you said ring true to me at 47, I have lived a lot in my time, more then most, and Ive noticed this very same thing. I am myself as I was, more matured, more in control, more thoughtful of my decisions, but the same. Thank you for such wise words!

[@earthangel8730]

Serious question... How do you know that you've lived "more than most"? The sheer arrogance of such a remark is a little disturbing to me. Is it not enough (for you) to be who you are without contrasting, comparing or judging how that ranks among most of humanity? Geeshe!

[@andyl-d6633]

Christian, what a pleasure, an inspiration and a joy! Beautifully produced. I have a smile on my face. Thank you very much for that. All the best! Andy

[@sailingvesperonthechesapea8111]

Well, this was one of the more unusual but very entertaining solo sailing videos that I seen. But the one thing that really hit home, Christian, was your little speech about consciousness and it not being any different at 17 or 78. You see I’m 70 and there are many times that I feel no where near that age. The only thing that brings me back to “reality” is when I see myself in a mirror. You put it into words perfectly, that feeling of self that, at least to me and you, is somewhat ageless.

[@hopeitssnowing]

Thank you Christian for sail and Bob for this comment. This really hits home with me even at the ripe old age of 39. I still feel like I'm 18 until i look in the mirror too. Christian "That's the secret, who'ever you are now, is who you'll be when you're my age. You are yourself, we all are, and the only job we have is to be it". I cannot like this more, thank you sir!

[@evinwhiteson4902]

Yes when youre young under 50 you can wing it. But after about 60 you need all the skill and determination you can remember.

[@thetraveller869]

As a mere 67 year-old I am impressed at your 11 year advantage in knowledge, experience and all the rest. When the topic of age arises I always think of my paternal Grandmother who was born in 1897. In 1997 we had a party to celebrate her century, and during the evening I asked her how it felt to be 100 years old. Her answer will stay with me for the rest of my life. She said, "It's just like being 20 - but your knees don't work the same!" She left us about a year later. 🙂

[@gordonagent7037]

Sir, your channel came on whilst I was chatting with a friend on messenger…..at first I thought what’s a silly old bugger doing single-handedly sailing a boat, but then I got in the groove, the music, the pot drums, the odes, philosophy, game night quizzes, the reflections and you know sir, I was thoroughly and utterly entertained and it was probably the most enjoyable hour and a bit I have had in a long time, single-handedly watching your adventures. Thank you so much from Aussie

[@scottkoppang8588]

Christian, of your three crossings, this was my favorite! Great adventure. Loved the music and video as you approached the islands. Enjoyed the banter and philosophical satirical conversations with yourself. The attention to detail you have with every inch of the boat and the regular checks was a learning for me- never assume all is well- proactively identify problems, address them or fix the unexpected issues that ALWAYS come up. I thought your previous crossing would be your last. So glad that you were able to make another. Thanks for the lessons in life, how to be a better sailor, for good laughs, and living out my dreams of sailing to Hawaii.

[@FlesHBoX]

I really wish that there were more sailing channels like this. More sailing, less "travel vlog". Don't get me wrong, I definitely love so many of the sailing channels that are far more "travel vlog", but this kind of "real" is nice.
