Hello Friends,
On this episode I haul up from Kawau Island and make way to the Whangaparāoa peninsula where I meet up with Zhané and with Ian and Laura of SY RaLa at Arkles Bay. The following day (April 11th) was my birthday so me and Zhané hauled up and sailed for Tiritiri Matangi, a small island that is a scientific reserve. We had an amazing time seeing so many incredible birds.
As a storm approached we sailed back into the lee off the peninsula and meet up with SY RaLa who had gone into Gulf Harbor to get some repairs done.

I’m a big fan of Zhané. She radiates positive energy…
A belated Happy Birthday, Captain! Here’s to many more! 🎉
Thank you 🙏🏻
She’s beautiful and a keeper IMO.
Fantastic birdsong. Great audio thanks
Happy Birthday James. We just celebrated two of our granddaughters birthdays. I would love to be a sailor but I get very sea sick, so I enjoy sailing vicariously by watching this channel. Thanks so much.
Engine sounds smooth and happy. Lovely day to sail.
The engine is very happy
Happy birthday.

😂😂😂 hand hauling keeps me fit
zhane beatiful and smart. pull brother
Happy birthday captain🎂
❤️❤️❤️
WHEN YOU LEAVE NZ YOU SHOULD TAKE Zhané WITH YOU SEEM SHES OK AT SEA YOU BOTH LOVE THE SAME THINGS IT WOULD BE BETTER FUN WITH 2.
I am a solo sailor 👍🏻 Zhané has an awesome life of her own
Happy birthday captain 🎉 !
Happy Birthday!🎂
🙏🏻thanks 😀
Great to see Tiritiri, and so special to see Takehe, they were considered extinct for at least 50 years until a small group was found in 1948. Slowly being bought back but still very endangered. I saw that Triteia was moored in Whangarei Town Basin a month or so ago.
You bypassed the mansion house .Nice area to sail .
I did an entire episode on visiting the mansion house
Happy belated birthday!!
Welcome to NZ 🙌❣️
Happy birthday James 🎉🎉🎉
Happy belated Birthday from here in the UK sir!
Best of regards to first officer Zhane and the rest of the regular company!
thank you James, and Zhané, for sharing this adventure! my birthday is also in April! totally dig the birds!
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏🏻 😀
Happy Birthday.
This was one of your better episodes. Sailing, exploring, some weather, and good friendship.
Can't afford much, mate but happy waaaaaay belated birthday and hope you're doing ok! Get so much from your vids and great knowledge, experience and tips! South coast uk winter sailing here and a strange wee beastie!! Go easy.
Thanks 🙏🏻 have fun sailing those chilly sails!
Happy 48th birthday, James. If I had the money, I would have given you a new sail boat.
Thanks for the well wishes 🙏🏻 I don’t need a new sailboat 👍🏻
@SailorJames ment no offense, I know your boat is perfect for you.
Tiri Tiri Matangi "divider of the wind" which makes sense if you sail down the seaward side occasionally. Basically its in the transition zone between inner and outer gulf.
Trick to seeing the birds is to sit on the seats in the bush for 10min absolutely quiet and still. Great fishing around the island and I once saw a sea turtle there.
Happy Birthday for then.
Happy Birthday...both look so happy
Happy birthday
Happy belated birthday mate! You're living the dream.
We will literally retrace your footsteps & stop overs this summer in our 23ft yacht, with my crew of kids.
Glad to see you made it 48 times around the Sun. And nice to see Zhane again,, she fits in well with the video. Fair Winds Captain!
You’re boat has came a long ways since it first set sail
James, seeing you smiling and laughing so much in this episode was awesome!
Cheers from Southern California USA 🇺🇸 San Bernardino ~
Glad you were born. Thanks bro
Happy days and fair winds always!
Happy Belated Birthday Captain. So glad you have friends to celebrate the day with. Beautiful looking cake too.
Happy late birthday, James! ... And what a nice way to spend your B. Day.
So nice to see Zhané, again! She's a natural sailor, isn't she. Awesome video as always. Fantastic scenes from the bird watching sanctuary.
Thank you, guys!
because of the implication
😂
I once worked for a Professor at my California State College (Arcata) who was nicknamed Bird Man of Arcata. I lived on a ranch he owned and learned about Fly Catchers and Lazuli Buntings ! I'm listening to the sounds, VERY different than North America. We felt the sounds were as much of an identification as the visual. He was from New Zealand. Wow, your awesome Zhane ! What a great looking mud cake !
Wow! You do not look 48 my guy! Best wishes on your late birthday. Incredible scenery too! Fair winds.
Aww man, well wishing you a who knows how late~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES !!!🎂🌊Looking Great at 48 !! What a Perfect day and a Perfect place. Gorgeous island! What a great job to live there! I loved those fat birds. Thank you as always so much.🐦
Happy birthday 🎉 You're a big part of my stroke recovery therapy so i can get back out to two harbors😊
Great episode! Love the bird calls - especially Tui.
Thanks for the video James! I always love seeing you and Triteia and the places you go. Your commentary is perfect. Zhane seems to fit in well. Glad you had a nice birthday with friends!
I commented ages ago that something really good was going to happen for you in NZ, something to change your life, and it is so lovely to see.
NZ is so magical to see, I bet it has exquisite energy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES.... ALL THE BEST.... FAIR WINDS & MY FRIENDLY REGARDS.... 🎉✌️👍🍾🥂
In the future, but in the past as we see it. Welcome to the twilight zone birthday
A very happy belated birthday James. I am not a sailor but love your content ❤😊
Wow your videos make me wanna sail the world
🎉
Thank you for the Video, we live on the Whangaparaoa, we live right next door to Tiri and have actually never walked the Island, crazy on our part. Mind you have rock fished, surf casted off the Island, 40 years ago.

If you go to Great Barrier Arid Island on the east coast has an anchorage sheltered from the Southwest that is worth a look.
Welcome to Newzealand brother 💚🙏
I bet your EX is eating her heart out james. But I know you just want her to be happy. Happy birthday birthday boy. I hate it when someone calls me that on my birthday. But I couldn't resist.
such a great vlog. I live on whangaparoa...regulary fish the reefs of tiri for snapper...the r2d2 tui's are insane...your best nz vlog so far imo
Love following the channel, so much content ,it's sometimes hard to keep up! I hope it's just me, but footage with engine noise I tend to skip.
Belated Solar Return wishes James.
Parabéns rapaz🎉
Hi James, happy birthday may you have a wonderful and God bless day in the mighty name of Jesus Cliff from Logan city Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺🧑🏾🦽
We have the same Birthday Brother !!! Hop it was Awesome !!! Your chick friend Janae is Amazing ! Love watching all your clips of Travels everywhere !!! I'll head over to Patreon and check you out !!! Peace and Down Winds my friend !!!!
I think if you went swimming after that cake, you'd sink like rocks 😀
Congratulations!! Are you going to visit Brazil?
HBD! Zhané is awesome. Is it possible for you to maybe put an arrow or circle on these birds in the trees? I can never find them. That would be super cool if you can.
That’s why I posted photos of the birds not visible
How about a double double pedal? 😎👍
Was the cake good?
Very
When u Check in is every port different?
What do you mean? You only have to clear in the first time you enter a country and then clear out when you leave
Arkles bay is pronounced like Sparkles but with no "Sp"
Ra whanau kia koe (Happy birthday to you)
Thanks!
