    The witty narration style of these videos makes this channel one of my favourites on UA-cam! Safe sailing, Christian!

    Can't wait for the aftermath of your journey.
    May your ANCHOR be tight,
    your CORK be loose,
    your RUM be spiced,
    and your COMPASS be true.
    All the best from a Greek Irish Sailor

    No music. No drone shots. No shots of the winch with the sea in the background. Simple video production. All I can say is.... Thank you! Be safe young man!

    Bon voyage, Christian. Loved your secret smile at the end "I have done everything I could, everything is in the hands now of, well, me" :-)

    It's a complicated expression that last one. Anxiety, humour, inevitability and a veiled determination. The look of someone that's impressed how much trouble he gotten himself in for. Thank you for the inspiration and fair winds.

      I 'accidentally' discovered Philosophy of Sailing on Audible, 3 days ago, which I have just finished listening to! What a delight! And now I want to go sailing! And yes now going to download and listen to Alone Together.

    I bought Philosophy of Sailing from Audible and loved it. Bought Alone together in a hardback for the boat library. Many years ago, I bought your Ted Turner bio and really enjoyed it as I was a fan of his sailing accomplishments. You are a truly gifted writer. You sailing videos are motivating me to keep my sailboat skills and goals on track. Sailing has give me more joy and contentment than any other activity and you have contributed to that process. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and sailing life with us.

    Best of luck, sir. I've had several inspirations via UA-cam for my recent decision (two years ago) to once again buy a boat (my 1987 Norseman 400, Blue Venture) but your single-handed Hawaii passage videos were the first and among the most powerful (quietly powerful). I recently moved her to the East coast via 2000 nm of sailing plus a truck-aided portage from San Diego to Seabrook, TX. Thanks for all of the great content!!

    After 3 days out you start talking to yourself, 4 days you answer back , 5 days you start to actually sleep, 6 days you can’t remember if it’s been 3 or 4 days, 7 days and your just going along and getting some place. 8 days and it’s looking for things to fix or make better.
