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!
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’m selfishly excited that you’re going again. Another book would be a kindness; I’ve memorized Alone Together and Philosophy. Your cooperation will be deeply appreciated. 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.
At last ! We were all secretly expecting that (I guess). A complete trilogy. And a new book to come ? Thank you for taking us with you on your crossing to come. Bon vent, Monsieur Williams :-)
I love the addition of the fuel gauge, just so that we could see you bemoan the fact that you have been trained never to trust one. I love it:) You are the best. Fair winds!!
May the good winds take you and bring you back with a new book for us! You’re such an inspiration for tons of us! Cheers from a Brazilian fan on the Bay Area of San Francisco, CA!
Delighted to read that Thelonius is now in Oahu... heartened to understand Christian is there as well! Thanks for sharing the noon position reports in the description -- I'm just in awe again.
May your travels to and from be met with safe passage as well fill any voids that need filling take care Capt. Looking forward to the next episode and thank you for sharing…
I haven’t been this excited in a while! Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us! Your last two trips are like a favorite song- I can listen (watch) over and over and it never gets tiresome!
Terrific! You've done an enormous amount of prep as always and more this time. We all have much to learn from you. Safe sails and looking forward to the updates. Take care Sir!
"I have done everything I could, everything is in the hands now of, well, me" well said and true! Looking forward to watching you're voyage! Fair winds from Redondo Beach
Safe travels Christian. You've inspired me to take my first sailing lesson, this summer. Here in the UK we have the RYA and I'll be qualified to level 1 and 2. I can't wait, but I must say you highlight how much there is to learn!
I'm so excited to learn you're going on another voyage! And like Ms. McKenna says below in her comments, I am also selfishly excited to believe another great book describing your voyage hopefully will be coming after your return. Of course, of equal pleasure will be watching your videos. Fair winds and following seas!
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.
I'm glad to see you back sir. I think thelonious is happy you bring the life for the boat the improvement you did ,there is a lot of lessons in your journey and episodes as alwayes, take care and good luck.
Fair winds and following seas, my friend !!! I wish you the best of luck! I've truly enjoyed listening to and watching your thoughts and plans unfold! Can't wait for an update.
I'd love to see your provision list, and the spares you bring . I am doing that trip next year. Thanks for the videos. I am sure your trip is over already. But I wish you safe seas.
Great news Christian !!!! That's the spirit !! Fair winds and good trip. The good Gods of sailing be in your favour !! Don't forget to let us know when you step on dry land at the end of the adventure !!! Cheers from Muros
Good news! I was able to get the next couple months off. Just let me know where to meet you. I’m all packed! Just kidding. I know you enjoy going solo so I guess I’ll just hang back here again. I’ll be anticipating another book/ audiobook though sir. Thank you for your previous literary gifts to us. You have a remarkable gift for storytelling. Godspeed Cap’n.
Love these videos. I'm preparing my lil sailboat for my first "long" journey, and I kinda like the preparation phase. Will soon enough find out if it was enough.
Safe journey Christian. Very glad to see that you're back at it! I'll echo Dawn's earlier comment... I've memorized Alone Together and Philosophy. Two of my favorite reads. Cheers!
It would have been great to follow you all the way. Oh well, you made it without anyone looking. Hoping for a few videos on your trip back. Take care man and best wishes.
The witty narration style of these videos makes this channel one of my favourites on UA-cam! Safe sailing, Christian!
I would pour a dash of spirits into the sea for good measure
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.
Why is this best sailing channel? This man can write and speak well.
I’m selfishly excited that you’re going again. Another book would be a kindness; I’ve memorized Alone Together and Philosophy. Your cooperation will be deeply appreciated. Fair winds.
I am hoping for another book also!!! I have read the first two twice each
Me gusta mucho

I hope your enjoying your trip. Fair winds.
Christian you are an inspiration to get out there. Thank you. Fair Winds.
...and elegantly. Fair winds, Mr. Christian.
I think I am seeing a lifetime of ideas and upgrades to make a better boat. Bravo!
Watching from my first full day on the Big Island. I flew, but dreaming of one day sailing my '81 Hunter 33 over here from SF! Safe travels Christian!
This is my favorite sailing channel period! 😎👍
SO thankful you are doing this adventure again.
I love the addition of the fuel gauge, just so that we could see you bemoan the fact that you have been trained never to trust one. I love it:) You are the best. Fair winds!!
I love this channel! So excited to watch Christian sail again! INSPIRATIONAL! "The great philosopher." Mentor!
There's a great pleasure to see a boat set up for voyaging by someone that clearly knows the art and craft of such an undertaking.
Another delightfully sardonic episode any skipper can appreciate, I’m sure Thelonias Monk is keeping you company on your voyage, bravo!
Mr Williams, your videos are always enjoyable and educational. Thank you for taking us along on your journeys! MP in Venice Beach.
May the good winds take you and bring you back with a new book for us!
You’re such an inspiration for tons of us!
Cheers from a Brazilian fan on the Bay Area of San Francisco, CA!
Love your videos! Been watching for a couple years. Looking forward to the next one
Wonderful news. Stay safe Mr Williams and enjoy 🇬🇧
Delighted to read that Thelonius is now in Oahu... heartened to understand Christian is there as well! Thanks for sharing the noon position reports in the description -- I'm just in awe again.
You are not alone. Fair winds.
Have a safe and enjoyable trip! Your wooden steering vane rudder looks beautiful!
Awesome and innovative adds to the boat - very McGyver like. Safe journey! Can’t wait for the videos.
When I saw your video installing the Cape Horn wind vane I immediacy thought Hawaii was on your mind again.
You've never made a bad, or even a mediocre, video... yet another excellent one - thank you!
Happy to see you back on the high seas. Glad you're back at it. Enjoy
Safe sailing! I hope we get another epic, long video of your journey!
