FROM THE ARCHIVES: American Samoa : Post Passage Post : Patreon Only : 001 (FROM September 2022)

- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- The "Post Passage Post" series is only available to my Patrons and is recorded and released a day or two after I finish an ocean passage. I have decided to start slowly releasing some them to the public as ARCHIVE footage if they are more than a year old. This was the first PPP video I made and was published on September 30th, 2022.
----------------------
Ahoy Patrons,
I had an idea to start doing these Passage Debriefings (except no one was questioning me so not really a debriefing).
I hope you guys enjoy these video.
Love
James

Thanks for sharing out of the "archive" - always enjoy your explanations and descriptions. From my perspective, you probably couldn't be too "long winded" - that's why I subscribe.
Why yes, I WOULD like to watch this for the 9th time, but now as a public video!
😂😂😂 thank you 🙏🏻
Really interesting to get some behind the scenes info❤ personally I love these long videos with your thoughts and feedback, there is always something that I can take away and utilize, thanks captn
Thanks 🙏🏻
Don’t mind the long winded at all. Every tiny detail about a passage is gold.
As a coastal sailor who has never done an ocean crossing the information in this debrief is really useful and a bit of an eye opener I will look forward to more of them :)
Raw and unfiltered. Keep up the great work.
Thanks captain James i really enjoy watching this, i really like the way you explain things. Cheers and safe travels mate.
Wow , enjoy your voyage James . love your videos. I'm glad to hear you are all good to go to Fiji . 🙏
Great debrief , good to hear about all those incidents and obviously you couldn’t be filming . Ive sailed into Pago Pago from Fiji on a old Trimaran in 1979 ! we didn’t have any of the modern navigational aids just sextant ! I recall riding a war vintage cable car across the harbour to a lookout post , it was sketchy in the extreme . We were from NZ and customs were pretty laid back in those days .
Thanks for sharing your experience James, I personally enjoy these type of videos, very informative. And your delivery is very nice here, more relax... Maybe because you felt the water at your ankle and saw the floating floorboards in Triteia only few days ago ... I might follow your idea of getting a bigger bilge pump...
Thanks 🙏🏻
Woah you’ve been up to so much that’s crazy with the bilge yeah better safe than sorry I like the way you organized this video you seemed to cover a lot and the clips were so raw and live that it kept it interesting throughout
I have to say, I really enjoy watching these videos. You’re living a life most would love, but can’t pull the trigger to do. Thank You for taking us aboard along the way, and not getting us too sea sick. 🤘🏼
enjoyed the update dude, hope the weather holds .safe travels.
Have a great day😊
Those bigger channels have nooooooooo problem asking people to put their hand in their pocket.....no problem at all with self promotion lol.... established thing you do is being authentic, so just be truthful and remind people of the ways they can support you. Your t shirts are pretty different... be great to see a bit of your art maybe.....I really like your channel & wind hippy & old sea dog. Its real and that shines through :) fair winds
Ohhhh a book?
Thank you 🙏🏻
Fantastic information and well presented.
Fascinating de-brief James, sorry haven't messaged you for a while but been watching all the episodes. Hope you're doing well. This was a kool video and great to return back to the tropics. Anyhow, take it easy bro...Neil ☘
This video is from a year ago, hence “from the archives” 👍🏻
Enjoy the Videos, and the Chats, Thanks.
Long winded is good. It is the small details that make the trip real for us viewers unlike many other you tubers. I noticed in your later vids your bent solar panel still on the rail. Does it work still ?
Yes that broken panel was still producing 50WATTS in full sun
Hi James, I’ve been to Pongo Pongo, American Samoa is one of the picturesque islands I’ve ever been to, but that was back in 1985. Things might have changed by now. We pulled up on P&O Oriana It was an incredible island cliff from Logan city, Queensland, Australia😊
A deep cockpit with a step through companionway and deep cockpit lockers is a convenient and popular configuration. Together they pose a high downloading risk. Its scary to contemplate the combined flooding if cockpit hatches and an open low companion way get pooped simultaneously and/or repeatedly. More so than the bilge pumps, I would be thinking about mitigating that inherent down flooding potential. Minimize the need to have the cockpit locker unlatched on passage. Good seals and strong hatch dogs. A bridge deck with a companionway coaming and ladder is a non-trivial modification. But maybe storage that temporarily reduces cockpit volume near where a bridge deck would be? And good discipline around the drop boards?
I don’t have a low companionway
I’m so disappointed how the harbour is so polluted so sad to hear when I was there. It was so clear you could see 10to15 Made it absolutely clear water, so he’s sad to hear
Please debrief after voyages
I do for my patrons after every passage this this one
My husband and I and my two children are looking to buy a sailboat and live out at two harbor Catalina Island
American Samoa was one of your worst stops but it seems your a true bird watcher I can't blame you IAM a bit of a nature nut myself take care till next time
American Samoa was for sure the worst place I have visited.
Are you ever coming to Australia 🇦🇺
Yes, 2024
Have you used a Jordan Series Drogue?
No, I have a rigid drogue
Do you still assist with deliveries? Enjoy your technical discussions, mahalo.
No, I don’t do deliveries any more
buy not one big pump, but 2 smaller pumps
There is no room for two pumps
