I'm not a sailor but I have watched most of your videos, and the peace I get is amazing. The sounds of the ocean, the scenery, and the knowledge you give. Keep seeing the world Bro, You have gone where most dream to go 👑💯💯

[@SailorJames]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks for watching, glad you enjoy them

[@charles.neuman18]

Amazing to see a creek flowing when you're in the middle of the ocean. This island is small but has so much. I like the background music. It seems more pronounced lately, and it adds to the footage.

[@jeremysanderson9673]

Living the dream there James. You’ve worked for it so enjoy the heck out of it. Thanks for bringing so many beautiful places into our living rooms. You’re a great narrator and a heck of a videographer!

[@HornetBrato]

You’re living a life of dreams, at least that’s what I’m seeing! Form this cold, rainy, full of bad news Eastern Europe…you are the expression of on life, live it! Have a safe travel ahead!

[@SailorJames]

Thank You 🙏🏻

[@icysurfer1]

I realized thru your video that Moorea was the best place I have ever been. It was a long time ago, and the island really was great to me.

[@Trajectionable]

James, the flyover sequence starting around 12:40 is the best thing I've seen in years. Wow.

[@lynettesharp7728]

Hi James! What beautiful scenery and nice people. I love the bright blue tiny fish- so cute. Enjoy and thanks for sharing. Fair winds 😃

The drone footage and music were perfect at 12:45. Great stuff!

[@hamrite]

Some friends of mine managed to fly down to the Gambiers, the whales are around there, with high sea floor !!! I camped in Morea for a while, this Island is paradise. The best spot, maybe too shallow for you, is Noth-West of Morea.

[@Malakai_333]

what an amazing place...

Ahhh whoa. That IS the clearest ocean water I have Ever seen. Unreal. Aww, I was hoping to see the fancy restaurant! Thank you :)

[@SSully1976]

Why am I crying lol!!! Jesus please , I want this so bad

[@SailorJames]

It’s waiting for you !!!!

[@robertworel5791]

To James! a bird tells me you might get the courage to sail your boat from France to Australia over a very long passage. Do not ever make long passages like this! Make sure you stop at every supply hub ! Make sure you do not bite off more than you can chew! And keep your main sail maintained! Even though you think it is new and ready. The new sail gets chafed very badly. I hear you may be stranded with no help. God bless and safe smart travels. Less people less disaster🖖🤟🤯🌏🌠🇽🇰📅 stay cool, Don't over heat.

[@SailorJames]

I have over 14k miles of sailing behind me, I know how to maintain and boat and make passages

[@Jolie_sailor]

What a magical place.

James your editing/creating skills have just grown exponentially... I feel like I'm watching Nat Geo at times...

[@SailorJames]

Thank you 🙏🏻 being able to film such stunning places makes it easier :)

[@John_Long]

Hey James, those eels were huge! I too was surprised that a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific not only has fresh water, but its own freshwater eels...so crazy! Fair winds brother! ⛵🌏

[@leaveonlywake]

You can find eels almost any/everywhere freshwater runs into the ocean. Young eels live in small coastal streams/waters while growing, head to sea as adults, and come back to breed later. A friend of mine used to catch them commercially, and he told me he would set his nets up *anywhere* fresh water met salt - ditches, creeks, culverts, small dams... and almost always would catch at least some.

[@SailorJames]

What makes these unique is they have blue eyes

[@leaveonlywake]

@@SailorJames maybe be some type of regional adaptation/mutation/divergence...? Good work on the series, really enjoying it and your non-common 'style', I think it will help you grow your audience. Best of all - congrats on getting out on across the blue! I think there are A-30 circumnavigators in every ocean right now, lol. :)

[@patboury6730]

Kudos on your opening. So inviting and beautiful. Well done….watching the your adventures you share

Opunohu Bay is a special place! Thanks for sharing. While doing some field work there, I learned (the hard way) why it's named belly of the stonefish". Seems like a nice place to spend some time in a sailboat. Cheers! 🤟

[@nigelbenson5287]

Yo brother and kia ora from NZ. I seldom comment on KZbin stuff, but you've touched my soul. I love what you're doing and will be out there with you in due course. I've been living on and restoring a 40-foot Hartley for the past year. I'm looking after a mate's house (and dog) this week and find I'm not sleeping so sweet, without the bubbles beneath me. Falling asleep looking at the stars through the hatchcover above my berth. Waking up and greeting the day through the same perspex window. It's magic. Hit me up if you drop your pick in NZ, bro. And I'll buy you a beer.

[@SailorJames]

I am in the Bay of Islands now and will be in and around exploring NZ until may 👍🏻
