James, it's good seeing and hearing you laughing. Kimberly is good for your soul. Glad she came into your life when she did. I hope to see her with you in the future. Fair winds bud!
I have officially watched (and liked) every single one of your videos in order from the beginning until now. You and Triteia have gone on such an amazing journey. You are an inspiration to all and your willingness to share your knowledge and adventures is priceless. Thank you so much!
Thanks James for dispelling a belief I had that Hawaii a place to cruise, because of the lack of suitable anchorages. I still think you need to be creative when choosing, and some of those anchorages still seem pretty exposed for my tastes, but you indeed proved that you can cruise the islands. Also, we have adopted your method of setting the anchor. You mentioned in one of your videos that you like to pay out 100' of rode, set the anchor and then pay out the remaining rode. We used to pay out all the rode and then pull back to set the anchor. Your method really shows you if the anchor is set early on. I slept better that night.
Yeah there is tons of cruising in Hawaii you just have to time the island passages right. Good to hear the anchoring technique helped you, like you mentioned it lets you know right away that it’s set 👍🏻
Every Friday morning as I start my day at work I watch your content. I can't express how good of a mood this puts me in. Thank you for sharing. This world, this life has so much to offer and I thoroughly enjoy what portion you give to us.
I LOVE your videos! There was a wonderful little Italian restaurant close to the Kawaihae harbor called Cafe Pesto that was one of our favorites. It went out of business during the pandemic, unfortunately...you would have loved it! If you are ever in Hilo on the other side of the Big Island, they have a location that's still in business there.
Thanks. You have been showing that indeed, Hawaii can be properly “cruised” . Love the very clear water and reefs/rocks to dive. Yes, anchorages can be rolley but doable. Your boat looks very nice. Love the hard dodger. Great design and with the large opening ports very useful. Would loved to have had one on my Alberg 35. Wow. One reason I like cruising Mexico and Panama is the prices are great. Much cheaper than the US. Especially Hawaii. Oh well, everything is a trade off.
Hi guys I really love to see you both together you have a great time wherever you go it’s good to see you and people are on the same page or doing the same stuff now they can get on well thanks for the videos keep up the good work Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia from the big island the thunder down under
It’s so awesome how she appears so stoked and intrigued to be with you. Whether you’re partners or not it’s awesome to see. I found your channel when you set sail for Hawaii and you went through that break up.
I love the landscape prominence of the big island . They views of the volcanos rising up from sea is impressive, It’s so vast and blue waters to contrast. That look in your eyes at kohala burger is epic 😂🤣 and the cookies 😂🤣 classic J
I just want to commend you on the video production. The cinematography is great (of course, IT's Hawaii!), but I was struck by how great the audio editing and selections were. LOTS of water sounds of course, we love that, we want to be on the boat with you, but the close shots with the near sound then the constant in the background at just the right level with very little music. When you DID select music, it was PERFECT. Beautiful. Just amazing. So well done!
Perhps too late, but I suggest that as you round Keahole point you hug the rocks and stay close in until Honokohau harbor. The north current can be strong, especially on falling tide but the shallower water slows it down. It gets deep very close to shore and the strongest current is over the steep drop.
I think if I watch any more Hawaii videos I'm going to have to go there as soon as possible. Hydrovane looks very cool. Belt and suspenders -- and ratchet clamp straps.
I really enjoy your videos. It's quite a journey you're on and the videos are really nice. For me as a Scandinavian (Norway) of course sailing around Hawaii is quite exotic. The question is whether they have cows on the big island or on any of the islands at all and whether that is why burgers are so ridiculously expensive. Kimberly is funny and has a nice personality (at least as we see her in the videos). She is colorful and is a nice contribution in the videos. Have a nice trip (in the videos, I know you are now in Tahiti).
@@seanwalsh999 OK and that's why the burgers are ridiculously expensive. Anyway, thanks for the information. I have heard that a lot has to be transported to the islands from the other states in the USA and that is why the price level is generally high in Hawaii, but it probably varies. On the other hand, most things are expensive if you are far enough away from larger cities and distribution centers.
Great video. Best bet in Kohala is a bento(box lunch) from the gas station. Kohala Divers is a wonderful dive shop and I absolutely love Makalawena. Hopefully in the next video you make it to Ultimate Burger in kailua kona.
In the same tradition of the Hawaiian Heiau so too is the burger shop. Each french fries is passed person to person from Idaho and that's why they cost $11, I think.
Just came across the channel. Have you been anchored by EB for the past few weeks? Pretty certain was you after watching the videos. If so, super jealous. Got a sweet anchor spot!
You would have been better off buying the fried chicken at the gas station. The mt. view stone cookies are the bomb. Comfort food. Dipped in hot chocolate.
That's their way of getting out the inland folks seems too me. Wow !! That's insane. Over priced only is the easy way of saying it. That's one place i refuse to visit although all i hear is of the beauty. Those island folks DO Not like people from the lands and i hear they make it known . As my uncle said.
I think i know what burger place you are at, that charged me in Britain £8 for 1 standard burger no fries. I dont get it, but people are still willing to pay for it. 🤣😂🤣 of course i walked out without the burger,
In Bermuda in 1986 I bought two 14 dollar cheeseburgers, then I ordered two long island ice teas, 16 dollars each, that was 1986 money, what's that, like 20 something dollars for one drink. Bermudas beaches were beautiful but the moment I stepped off the plane I was interrogated, they went through every thing including my papers in my wallet, not a good way to start my vacation, I was treated like a criminal, Bermuda👎
I arrived to Bermuda by boat in 2016 and had the exact opposite experience, yes things were absurdly expensive as you mentioned but the customs officers we dealt with were super chill and nice and found as a free place to tie up on the quay.
What?! You stop filming as you get to the beautiful White Island but not while you’re on it? Grumble. Grumble. But quick question: do you ever toss a case overboard to see it you can catch some lobster?
Kimberly seems like a good human being. Her smile, says it all. I hope to see more of you discovering with Her✊🏼

I stay near the Kohala Coastline, if you stop by Kawaihae checkout Seafood Bar instead of Kohala Burger! 🤙🏾

I enjoyed the Google earth animation. Nice to have some perspective in terms of location. And Kimberly is a delight. Love this channel!!!
Thank you you make me dream of a life of adventure I think I'll end up doing like you your videos are really great

I believe it is called the Parker Ranch ( on the Big Island ) one of the largest ranches besides the King ranch in Texas, being the largest.

Another great video James.
Looks like you're using a Mantus anchor for Triteia? Which size is it? Been thinking of getting one for my boat, safe voyages
Great video. Best bet in Kohala is a bento(box lunch) from the gas station. Kohala Divers is a wonderful dive shop and I absolutely love Makalawena.
Hopefully in the next video you make it to Ultimate Burger in kailua kona.
I also launch from Kauna’oa Bay, south of Pu’u Kohola Heiau. Maybe see you out on the water 🤙🏾

Roll stabilizer?? how is that?
Hoo! You get da kine haole rate for the burgers and those cookies are ship's biscuits. Soak 'em in slush! 😖
think i would have opted for freeze dried and hot water. or fishing
Can watch the Triteia move thru the blue sea all day
You would have been better off buying the fried chicken at the gas station. The mt. view stone cookies are the bomb. Comfort food. Dipped in hot chocolate.
Kimberly hi mermaid girl!!! Robert and I are on Big Island over in Puna. So good to see your face. (Robert and Jeannie from Koa'e) Miss you sweetness.
Hiii!! Sending butterflies and hugs!!
The burger place at Waikiki Beach had one of the best burgers I have ever had...and it did not cost $11.00!!!
Have not heard from you and worried about you, hoping for news of Tahiti,⛵️
Well, we will certainly miss Ms. Woods when you sail West.
I’m still taking about that burger spot heheh
#adventuretax
Scared fer life
What a rip off!! 🍔 🍟
I miss that Blue water. I am so stupid for ever leaving.......
Ditto!
My mother was born in Kohala💗
Would just loved to be there with you.... Hello from reunion Mauritius island
How you say Kawaihae is Ka wy hi
I've heard local Hawaiians don't like vacationers, which is kinda weird, since much of the economy is tourism.
That's their way of getting out the inland folks seems too me. Wow !! That's insane. Over priced only is the easy way of saying it. That's one place i refuse to visit although all i hear is of the beauty. Those island folks DO Not like people from the lands and i hear they make it known . As my uncle said.

my English and not terrible excuse me. M

Is she your new special lady friend?
