If you haven't yet enjoyed Christians books "Alone Together" or "Philosophy of Sailing": Congratulations, you still have two marvellous Bible readings ahead of you.
For my 25th birthday, November 11, 1969, my wife gave me a book by Sir Francis Chichester about his voyage on his sailboat Gipsy Moth IV. Ever since reading that book, I've wanted to solo circumnavigate the globe. Sadly, never got the chance to do that. But she and I sailed as often as we could in our misspent youth. My wife passed away 12 years ago from lung cancer. Never smoked. Last thing she said to me was she was sorry I never experienced my dream of soloing the globe. Now, I do my sailing with you, and others like you on this here UA-cam. I can't thank you enough. Fair winds, and following seas. Cheers! :)
I lost my wife to cancer 15 years ago but I spent my 69th birthday in the middle of the Pacific solo sailing to the Marquesas. 35 days en route in a 27' sailboat, the smell on approach was intoxicating. Leslie wasn't a sailor but I know she would have been glad that I did it. You can to! Ben S/V DAWN
There’s another book about him and others called “A journey for madmen”. It’s a really good read about a race around the globe by 9 men Ten months later, only one of the nine men would cross the finish line and earn fame, wealth, and glory. For the others, the reward was madness, failure, and death. It was quite the adventure for them and for the reader.
Is there anything more soothing than a master yachtsman's philosophical musings as he single-hands a 38-footer across the Pacific with Coleman Hawkins wailing away in the background? I think not. Keep 'em coming, Captain.
I selfishly wish you could post daily, your dulcet tones and witty repartee are food for the soul. So I’ll hush up and appreciate the new content. Fair winds with thanks 🙏
I loved this video-the images, the quality of the text (so good, so elegant), the voice of the narrator, the ambient sound, everything! And Coleman Hawkins was the cherry on top. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Been busy at life last half year. Glad coming back and watch your video again. Thank you Always Mr Williams. I truly think your Alone Together was my favorite book of all time. I hope I can cope my fear to solo sail to Hawaii.
Nice bit of video and exposition. I got a much deeper sense of the routine and ruminations one would have on a passage. I see 240 magnetic in my mind, feel the boat's longitudanal pitching, and love the hand-crafted details of your wooden projects and a ship-shape details. Thanks Christian!
Good day from Port Orchard Washington. It's always good to see another video from you. In your earlier video, your teak floors turned out amazing. Happy Sailing.
I enjoyed the video, the music, and especially the narrative. Whether your talking about sailing, the universe, cooking with a metal spatula, or your comfortable walk in closet sized living space, you bring humor, humbleness, and most of all your happiness to your viewers. I’ve watched all your videos and look forward the next one. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the videos, Christian. I love your personality and your style and your humility. You’re a great character. You should write yourself in a movie. Thanks for being you sharing all the videos you’ve shared I’d like to get my hands on those couple of books you’ve written
Awesome video!!! I love hanging out in the cabin with Christian listening to his stream of consciousness! BTW: I used to sail lightnings at the Northport Yacht Club 😊
Thank Sir! So happy to see you back, Thank you for letting us share some time with you, thank you for the lesson, the tips, the many all sorts of tips.
Wonderful format, Captain 👍 , as unique and real as can be. "It's the entire universe! " . I can relate. After doing circles for almost 5 months on a navy destroyer in my younger days, looking at the same faces, never changing the chart...i began murmuring.."This is our life forever". ..lol.. and memorizing; The prudent mariner will not rely solely on one single means of navigation...printed on the border of the chart. , which you already know. Very inspiring seamanship! How many miles have you sailed?
Good to see you again and impressed with the clean, smooth ongoing sailing/operation. Aware of the dodge/bimini issue, but a day in the rain under cover can be quite enjoyable and allows for less cabin time.
Watch out for them strange letter women! lol! Just found your channel. I'll be here watching thanks. Good to know I'm not the only rambling rambler, although I'm a land lubber now. Instead of the yacht, I bought the ranch. Didn't buy the farm though.
Watching and listening to Christians philosophy of long distance solo sailing. Is the most relaxing streaming source, when my head finally hits the pillow at night. Head phones on, watching my tablet intently as the sweet dreams of solo sailing across the ocean, rock me to sleep...
Thanks again for another video. I swung by your slip after picking my boat up at the Shipyard in Marina del Rey last week, just want to see Thelonious II in person. Safe sailing
Absolutely next level. It's about sailing....but is it? Is sailing actually jazz? Is Williams the essence of sailing? Does philosophy have more in common with Williams, sailing or Jazz? I will continue rereading "Philosophy of Sailing" and rewatching these in the hope that I will someday be able to answer these questions. Perhaps if I just keep sailing and listening to Jazz I will one day attain the summit of cool that this man stands atop.
I hadn't realized it until you were shooting the interior of your boat. She must have been one of the Ericson's that was built by Pacific Seacraft. I see a lot of details that are almost exactly the same on my Crealock.
"This cabin is the size of a walk in closet but it is all we need"...".It is the Universe".."it is the Universe". You have to love Christian Williams. from the centre of his universe to the centre of mine. What he is saying is sometimes the here and now is all there is really.
I watch all your videos and have read your books. But I was wondering Why, when you jibe the boat, you let the main fly from one side to the other. And I have seen you do this on other occasions. You chance breaking the traveler the gooseneck.
Thank you for posting and sharing with us your journeys on the sea. The simple brilliance of your narrative is so soothing and inspiring. Thank you sir.
"Sirloin steak stained pink" 😂😂 another calming delightful episode, thanks, from the Bay of Islands NZ, adrift and soaking up the last of our summer vibe, enjoying the moment with you, thanks Christian 🙏
If you haven't yet enjoyed Christians books "Alone Together" or "Philosophy of Sailing": Congratulations, you still have two marvellous Bible readings ahead of you.
Even better as audio book at Audible :)
It is time I read these again. Christian thanks for sharing. Always enjoyed your work.
Do you know if there were hard covers printed?
@@_instabil I love the way Christian's read there is a tone and a cadence that is very enjoyable, so yes the audio books are nice.
🎉dude is a legend sailing ⛵️ a lovely yacht his narrative is exquisite 👌

Sir Francis and Gypsy Moth were my introduction to sailing as well - living in the desert and dreaming of other, different but similar environs.
@@jaydubya4727 My wife and I lived in New Mexico when she gave me that book. :)

"I like my coffee the way I like my coffee". Simplicity. Beautiful.
Sailing poetry doesn’t get any better than this. Thanks!

a notification from Christian Williams on a Sunday??? Hell yeah!🙏
So happy to see a Christian Williams video!!!! Wish there were more of them but I completely understand moderation. Happy to see you again!
Thank you, you said it elegantly.
I loved this video-the images, the quality of the text (so good, so elegant), the voice of the narrator, the ambient sound, everything! And Coleman Hawkins was the cherry on top. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Hello again Christian, nice of you to take us along on your yearly pilgrimage to Hawaii. Good to hear from you. Fair winds gentle fellow. ⛵️😎
There is no better storyteller anywhere…..what a gift. Hope to meet you someday Mr. Williams (my previous offer still stands!). 🤗
I always enjoy sort of a contact buzz on your sailing channel. I have an oldish 40 foot Hunter. I almost feel right at home.
Been busy at life last half year. Glad coming back and watch your video again. Thank you Always Mr Williams. I truly think your Alone Together was my favorite book of all time. I hope I can cope my fear to solo sail to Hawaii.
Dude, you make it look easy...great video!
I'm watching this while offshore! Enjoyable narration. Cheers!

Good day from Port Orchard Washington. It's always good to see another video from you. In your earlier video, your teak floors turned out amazing. Happy Sailing.
I just listen and smile and that’s enough-thank you for humanity

My, my, your boat is sailing so comfortably. What a pleasant universe.
Thanks for the videos, Christian. I love your personality and your style and your humility. You’re a great character. You should write yourself in a movie. Thanks for being you sharing all the videos you’ve shared I’d like to get my hands on those couple of books you’ve written
I love the content Christian. Keep them coming.
That's great that you are doing another voyage. Be safe out there!
Another 150 nautical miles, another masterpiece 🤌
Never a chore to watch a new upload, Cpt Williams.
I love the way you explain every details. And you make everything look so easy. Your awesome God bless.
Love your unique edited style; it's just damned interesting and amusing at the same time :)
Awesome video!!! I love hanging out in the cabin with Christian listening to his stream of consciousness! BTW: I used to sail lightnings at the Northport Yacht Club 😊
Love your videos. They helped me get through a lot of anxiety days.
Thank Sir! So happy to see you back, Thank you for letting us share some time with you, thank you for the lesson, the tips, the many all sorts of tips.
Sharing your inner monologue with your audience is invaluable. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your voyage and for your thoughts. It did satisfy the drought...for now.
Stay Safe
Keep catching. 🍻
Wonderful format, Captain 👍 , as unique and real as can be.

Very inspiring seamanship! How many miles have you sailed?
Thank you, I am always better for your insightful words, music, and great video. Thank you for these.
Good to see you again and impressed with the clean, smooth ongoing sailing/operation. Aware of the dodge/bimini issue, but a day in the rain under cover can be quite enjoyable and allows for less cabin time.
Absolutely perfect. I love your work. Few words, just enough. I applaud your seamanship skills.
I love these.... They are sooo good!!
Just the universe. I’m fortunate to share it with you. Always enjoy these videos.
The spiritual side of sailing in such a pleasant way
Culinary improvisation skills amazing ..he eats well out at sea .
Watch out for them strange letter women! lol! Just found your channel. I'll be here watching thanks. Good to know I'm not the only rambling rambler, although I'm a land lubber now. Instead of the yacht, I bought the ranch. Didn't buy the farm though.
Like the jazz you enjoy this video mirrors that feel so thanks for that and all you do ;-} cheers

Thank-you Christian. You've made this landlubber's day.
I could watch this forever!
I must say: The use of a steel spatula in a non-stick pan has me concerned for you...
Thanks again for another video. I swung by your slip after picking my boat up at the Shipyard in Marina del Rey last week, just want to see Thelonious II in person. Safe sailing
One of your best! Thanks Christian!
I always look forward to your videos. Most enjoyable. Thank you.

Thank you for another wonderful time.
I had been wondering if there will be another video to Hawaii. This is great.
If not familiar, get familiar.. Walt Grace. Oh, and thanks again for the content. It is truly you. I think? 🎉
You want to go sailing with Christian, but he's so good at being alone you don't want to spoil the moment.
It's a great day, week, month as there is a Christian Williams video.
Altogether lovely! Thank you!
Love listening to you arguing with yourself!I'm sure that between you and yourself you'll make the right decisions for the most part!
Amazing as always! Refreshing thoughts and interesting rum cocktail! Be sail Be safe Be happy….. Cheers from Muros

Chapeau monsieur. Pure salty poetry
Thanks for sharing
Enjoyed that.😀👍⛵️
4:09 I'm 30 and can't read at that distance. Keep sailing!
I am looking forward to the next video of this passage. All ok I hope?
And I was about to at a steel spatula in a non stick pan!?!
get it baby
“”Your humanity”
Marvelous!!
If you mix brown sugar and yellow French's mustard, coat the spam in it and fry, you get a tasty glazed meat for sandwiches. Have a great day.
Could you explain not centering the main when Gybing?

I swear I want to be you when I grow up. I'm getting my journey started soon. See you out there.
"This cabin is the size of a walk in closet but it is all we need"...".It is the Universe".."it is the Universe".
You have to love Christian Williams. from the centre of his universe to the centre of mine. What he is saying is sometimes the here and now is all there is really.
How many transpac's have done? All ways look forward your videos
I watch all your videos and have read your books. But I was wondering
Why, when you jibe the boat, you let the main fly from one side to the other. And I have seen you do this on other occasions. You chance breaking the traveler the gooseneck.
Technique makes it work without risk. ua-cam.com/video/wOblNE9kWnk/v-deo.html
@ChristianWilliamsYachting i still disagree, especially in 30 to 40 knots.
But to each his own .
I've only spilled it several times for the very same reason. :)
Scrub your hull, wash your decks for a local sail? Will teach you how to do a more tasty coffee pour over? Please? 🤗
Well we all watching here do envy you.
Yeah, a video from Christian!
as a brit i will never understand pancakes and bacon and eggs , sweet and savory on the same plate , especially with syrup , ill never understand it
Point taken. At least you approve of the Spam, for which I am grateful.
so good to see a new video from you Christian! have a cool day sir!
Christian, why dont you sprout bean sprouts?
I have just sourced a copy of Rarotonga. 😁🍷🍺
Don’t mind at all, mate.
You can do many things the way you want to, but you have absolutely got to fry that spam before putting it on a sandwich.
Love this dudes sailing style. No bimini, no dodger, no solar panels everywhere, no gadgets or gizmos filling up the cabin. Just pure sailing.
Yeah, he’s not a liveaboard, sailing is all he does on the boat.
Your videos, more accurately your art, is a balm for the heart, soul, and imagination. May you sail on forever, Christian. Thank you.
The best sailing UA-camr there is. “Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the one the only, Christian Williams”
Thank you for posting and sharing with us your journeys on the sea. The simple brilliance of your narrative is so soothing and inspiring. Thank you sir.
Mr. Williams, I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos - the poetry, the humor, and the insight. Thank you so much for making them.
Always a pleasure Christian, another great account of your journey. Thanks.
Good to see you still at it!
"Sirloin steak stained pink" 😂😂 another calming delightful episode, thanks, from the Bay of Islands NZ, adrift and soaking up the last of our summer vibe, enjoying the moment with you, thanks Christian 🙏
Nice video! The steel spatula on a non-stick pan bit was hilarious.
I agree
