    That sail looks well folded. Well done.
    Keep up the good work. If the atmosphere is nice there, stay and keep the health up.
    Before it gets hectic, I'd just sail away where there is less people less disaster.

    This was a super surprise, thank you James and Team James for sharing this lovely video. Just looking at that beautiful fresh food market brought me to question for ya James. So, do you ever fish or spear fish? I haven't seen you do these things, but man those fresh veggys coupled with some freshly caught fish/lobster etc. would be heaven!! Anyhow, safe travels my friend....Neil

    Great videos, I liked all of them on my other account. I live a very boring life, I go to work and back home and I dream about one day leaving everything and going sailing around the world like you. But I don't think it is ever going to happen. I will probably try to find someone that has a sailing boat and ask if I can join them on a short trip. I hope you good luck on your adventures. Anyway, you look like a pirate a really cool one. :)

      James is planning on sailing to Sydney and then up the east coast and through the Torres Strait to Darwin. In his live stream after arriving in NZ he said he had considered sailing to Tassie but the extra distance means he wouldn't be able to clear Oz before the cyclone season. Hopefully next time around he'll visit Melbourne and Adelaide where I'm based.

    I hear you regarding your own anchor vs. mooring buoy, but depending on the bottom, the chain on our boats can be really bad for the environment. Just sayin . . .
