What a fabulous sailing companion. Nice to see you both having so much fun. Life is such a glorious adventure its a shame not to share it with good people ❤
New Zealand is like a place where time froze in place. All of the unspoiled nature and wilderness is amazing to see in this way, even more so than in the big production nature documentaries. Incredible stuff James! Great catches by Rhonda too!
Hi James and Rhonda, I found your content a few weeks ago and I have to say I find it so peaceful watching your way of life, your content is so wholesome and I thank you. The world needs more people like you guys, steering left from the rat race. You guys mirror the epitome of happiness. Much love from Australia. ✌️
Gurnard (carrots) as we kiwi call em , one of my favourite dishes , gurnard & asparagus in white sauce baked ,, so delicious ,, another great vid as always 👍
Hi guys, you look so happy together. James you are so relaxed and peaceful Can’t wait for Rhonda to join you in Tasmania. Good to see people falling in. Love is like the first time. Keep up the good work always love the videos Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia
Hey James…and Rhonda, really enjoyed the video! Great catch there Rhonda! How was the gunard? Looks like it had quite a bit of meat ? James… you don’t fish?? Come on James, I know you’re a sailor, but you should be fishing too😂😂 Great video you guys, really a great start to my day here in California ( Central Cali, that is) just about 80 miles southeast of San Francisco… and the weather is rainy today! Springtime at that! Thanks for the video!
Kiwi living in Sweden for nearly 20 yeas. Nice to see you enjoying my home country! Really enjoy your videos. Seriously considering of getting into sailing and going around the world when my kids are a little older! Already started my research.Hope you guys have a awesome time cruising around! Chur!
Great sailing in Sweden , the Skarsgard , get into boats sooner than later , great sailing around Denmark, I lived there before coming to New Zealand, enjoy your sailing
Thanks for bringing us along. I with you James, I try to avoid getting near anything with alien appendages, but I suppose if they taste good I'll risk it.
I've resubscribed. Rhonda's awesome and I think she brings out the best of you. I apologize for our conversation that we had . I do have respect for you and your sailing abilities. Rhonda be patient with him you guys are a great team.
Nice one James. Just binged watched from Cape Reinga. So cool to see you bond with your ship mate and sounds like your going to connect again in Tasmania. The Tasman sea can be and is a Bitches Brew as you well know. Please make sure your doubly ship shape and Bristol fashion Friend. How about a composite or metal tiller and plenty of grease for those bearings. Sail the seas friend Kiwi Matt 👍
Great to see you enjoying the Sounds , my favourite place, are you looking at going to Able Tasman , after Nelson ? Love the videos, great 👍 enjoy and fair sailing 😊😊👍
Shit man, what's going on with the gloves? Nice gurnard too. And did you hear it grunt? Gurnard tend to grunt. And yes it's at a recordable volume. Best time and success rate to catch fish in Pelorus is when the Mussel Harvesters are working. Anchor up and row your dinghy over, ask permission to fish, and the skipper normally says yep. Obviously not beside him. A few rows over. You'll see a ton of mussel berley going back into the water. Depending on where you are, you'll get gurnard, blue and red cod, the occasional snapper and whatever. Sometimes skate. There's good recipes online for skate. As I've said before, you're bringing back memories. Love it in the sounds. Thank you for sharing mate. Have you seen Hectors dolphins in there? I had a pod of 6-8 hang around my yacht...but they do move around. Grayish with black rounded dorsal fin. Anyway keep the episodes coming. Take care in Oz.
You need someone to show you how to fillet fisk ,you murdered that fish,you take the head off gut it and take both sides off ,fry in butter ,skin on or off
I think it’s unanimous, Jame. Everyone thinks Rhonda is a keeper… you both look so happy and it’s a pleasure to watch your chemistry together!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
hell ya!
James you look so happy and content. Rhonda is so relaxed being out on the boat. Perfect match take care of each other.
She's driving that boat like a badass. Thumbs up.
Absolutely love seeing Rhonda catching the fish!!!
Love her energy!
I can feel her energy through your videos…😊

It is remarkable and unspoiled for sure
ardern made sure nz froze, economically, socially 😂
even when the weather is not beautiful, it is still beautiful there, wow ⛵ ❤
Gurnard is one of the best tasting fish in the sea. We usually fry in butter. Good to see some fish coming aboard. 👏
James she is a great fisherwoman proving protein for your ship … we love Rhonda mate

Brilliant video as always. Thanks to you both for sharing your enjoyments and adventures.
Threw away the best part of the gurnard. The belly flap is the best bit when smoking.
What a catch, all three!!!
You and Rhonda look good together and its good to see you happy 🤙🤙🤙⛵⚓⛵🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Finally a sailor that knows the importance of using a net, good on you...bendiciones...m

Thanks for bringing us along. I with you James, I try to avoid getting near anything with alien appendages, but I suppose if they taste good I'll risk it.
Fish smokers work really well for Mussels too.
Lovely ending….🕊

👍
I crossed the Tasman solo in February, I was well aware of its dangers and plenty prepared.
@@SailorJames Well I could say Enjoy Tasmania but for all I know you maybe in Sumatra by now
Great to see you enjoying the Sounds , my favourite place, are you looking at going to Able Tasman , after Nelson ? Love the videos, great 👍 enjoy and fair sailing 😊😊👍
I didn’t make it to Able Tasman, can’t see it all so I just enjoy what I can see
@@SailorJamesI have a boat in Havlock, lots of fantastic places around the sounds , thanks for Videos and enjoy , great job 👍
Two peas in a pod...😃
Yeah Rhonda!
What do you use for refrigeration? Any advice on that front after all the experience and use?
I have an isotherm cold plat system that has worked great
Aloha from Kauai-out to ALL!!!!!⛈️🌈⛈️🌈⛈️🌈⛈️🌈⛈️

Shit man, what's going on with the gloves?
Nice gurnard too.
And did you hear it grunt?
Gurnard tend to grunt.

Have you seen Hectors dolphins in there?

You can hear it clearly grunting on this video
@@SailorJames oops. I'll plug my ear pieces in. Again thankyou for the upload. Atb.
We are in Spring here, is it considered Fall there?
When this was filmed in January it was middle of summer in NZ
great eating fish those carrots lol
What kind of starlink do you use? THXS!!
Are you happy with it??
I don’t understand the question. I didn’t know there was more than one type of starlink 🤷🏼♂️
@@SailorJames Yes there are... How it is working for you
Works fine
She has been a great addition to your life. She's a very classy gal for sure!!
I think you should kidnap Rhonda and take her on all future travels. Great vid James
Gurnard best baked
James after living a hermit's life do you find it odd to have a shipmate for 16 days or do you enjoy splitting the chores?
It’s not odd 👍🏻
Ask a KIWI they would be only to happy to show you how to fillet
That’s exactly how you fillet a gurnard, look it up
That shark looks like a Spiny Dogfish, or mud shark
James, is Ronda gone in real time? 😢is she coming back?!
Many more adventure videos with Rhonda in Australia….
Nice fishing Rhonda, the only thing I've ever caught fishing is a cold, I'd probably starve at sea 😂
😂😂😂
My guy is gaining that happy weight :)
I wonder how many people got the Naked Lunch reference.
All the Mugwumps raised their glasses
😉
I’m thinking that shark is a spiny dogfish
Lucky they don't have war crimes courts on fish cleaning
Bit dramatic 🙄 look up cleaning gurnards
By the way I'm actually next to John winery on G dock just by chance.
You need someone to show you how to fillet fisk ,you murdered that fish,you take the head off gut it and take both sides off ,fry in butter ,skin on or off
Relax sister, now look up how to fillet Gurnards
What a beautiful looking fush... It a shame to kill it..
If you were in the water it would eat you too 👍🏻
+1 for Naked Lunch reference.
A message from Interzone
Lol. There is a much easier and better way to fillet those fish...
Google bro, you are wrong
It looked like it was somebody's goldfish at one time. You look too pretty to eat. But I guess pretty little fish grow up to be sea monsters someday
See...... I told everyone Lemon Fish at the Fish and Chip shop was a Shark. Well well well
