I have to admit I thought about this gentleman a lot in the last year. Was he sailing to Hawaii? Was he staying home, wherever that may be? He's like a grandpa (and I'm too old to have one of those) that pops into my mind once in a while.
You are an absolute legend sir. I look forward to your stories and bits of wisdom as much as I did with my grandfather. You are an oasis in this odd world. Thank you.
Your videos are always a joy to watch. Wonderful voice overs with an excellent music choice make for quite then pair. One of the few times the youtube algorithm really did it's job.
OUTERBRIDGE REACH.. You sir are a great story teller, with excellent taste in music! A real renaissance man!! at 63 yrs young, I admire you.. job well done!
It’s so good to see your posts Christian Williams, I am fairly new to sailing, 3 years, 3 years of nothing but boat maintenance, sailing & learning, But for me you are the daddy, Brilliant posts, you definitely have the experience that I would love to have, but perhaps next life time Thank you
Listening to your "Alone Together" now. Haven't sailed in 30 years but have recently spent my covid time studying the proposition of soloing or, more accurately, meandering around the globe over the next decade. You are inspiring.
Exactly my position. Havent sailed in 30 years and seriously considering it again. Studying up and calculating. My thoughts are from Oregon to San Francisco,Hawaii,Alaska, Oregon. Quite a way to go, though before I could be ready for that. I'll try to get into some sailing lessons this summer for starters and meet sailors who will invite me along for some sailing. Then get my own boat.
@DIY Oregon. That's funny, here for the same! I have not sailed for 20 years and are also seriously considering getting back on the oceans. I used to sail a 28 foot sailboat on the Baltic sea around the beautiful small island of Bornholm. Now living in Indiana and unfortunately too far from the ocean. I like the story telling calm atmosphere of C. Williams and was happy to see the notification today on a new video from him. Keep them coming please.
Me TOO!! Got a best childhood buddy who helped build the America’s Cup winner ~15 years ago. We demolished several sailboats in our years of pushing too hard and redesigning. God I miss it. I’m still in fantasy stage. It’ll be a while before I have capital. Happy to crew once my bebegirl is gone!!
Christian, I absolutely love how you think and I love your videos. You do such a nice job in telling your story and I just love to watch it. AND you are one HELL of a sailor. One of the best in my opinion. Hope you are well my friend.
Christian, I really enjoy your videos and your personal insights and philosophizing. Just heard you mention that you aged out of surfing and hanggliding. I find myself on the same life trajectory. Surfer since early teens and hanggliding for nearly twenty years. I gave up sailing 30 years ago for higher adrenaline experiences and now I'm aging back into sailing. Thank you for the added inspiration. Cheers.
I like this video! Makes me wonder if Mr. Rogers wouldn't mind leaving his "neighborhood" for some peace & serenity being alone at sea, sailing a yacht like yours...I got a grin of your beginning; you taking off your cardigan & putting on your sailing shoes, just like Mr.Rogers does on his show... Funny!!
What a great jewell of a video. Sitting here watching the sun come up over Lake Michigan in August of '21 and coming across this piece. Brings back memories of my days of sailing out of Marina del Rey. Beer can Wednesdays. Such great fun and this short piece brings it all back. Add to it Mr. Roger's theme and I would suggest a new, slightly altered name. "Escape to the Neighborhood," as the open ocean can be, as it was in this glimpse, a calm and friendly neighborhood in which to be.. Thanks for sharing.
Mr. Rogers has to attend to mechanical and electrical stuff on the boat. I enjoy watching and knowing it's not me that has to know how to do this stuff. Thanks! Looks like southern California on one of those stormy days with 5 knot winds!
Good to see more videos of you sailing around Marina Del Rey. Your audiobook inspired me to dream of sailing to Hawaii from Marina Del Rey someday and I joined Marina Sailing, renting a Beneteau 323 a couple times so far. Stay safe and healthy and keep philosophizing!
I thought ur a author with a hobby for sailing..in reality your a master yachtsman ..ur narrative skills to sailing ⛵️ skills ...know how ..mind boggling 🎉😮
You paint a hard picture of the life on the sea.......However, I am going to give it a whirl.....I love your vlog and your sense of humor cracks me up!!! Great set of tools!!!!! I am going to copy your storage technique.........
Sir, Your wit leaves me in stitches! Your lifetime of sailing knowledge has made its way to my boat and I thank you for it. I anxiously look forward to every video you grace with world with. Good health to you.
Although I've watched this video a time or two before, I watched it again to get a badly needed "Christian Williams" fix on what's a cold winter day here in Mobile, Alabama. Would love to see your next video.....waiting with baited breath.
Dear Christian, it's so wonderful to see you back aboard. Where have you been? I hope you are in good health. I've missed your elegant prose and sharp wit. Each sea voyage, however short or long, is paragraph in a very enjoyable book to me; I'm not looking forward to the last page, so keep 'em coming. You know, the real measure of a man, and a seaman too, is how well his tool kit has been prepared, and yours shows evidence of a long and thoughtful process of evolution. Can't wait for your next outing. Take care.
Mr Williams, I've been watching your videos for a few years now, just wonderful. Your audio books Alone Together and Sailing Philosophy have been listened to over and over, captivating, funny, witty, instructive and so very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing with us 🇬🇧⛵
And I thought I had plenty tools !!! fool of me .... You never have enough T-shirts or tools !!! Great sail and nice flying neighbours !! Cheers from Muros !!!
Love this mini-series 'Why We Sail', I don't even sail, but I just subscribed. Just new in my bucket list: take up sailing lessons. Got the best opportunity living in So Cal. Keep us informed & entertained Mr Williams. Thanks & stay safe.
I love " lets open up this clown car and see how many clowns come out", that describes my tool chest perfectly. I would have kept the heavier braided rope only because it feels better in my hands. Great to see you again. Hope you and your family are all doing well. Happy holidays to you all. Looking forward to your next book.
Yes neighbor you brought me joy to see you again maybe even a little tear and some Goosebumps life is good when I see you you make me laugh and think about the wonderful things of life thank you oh by the way please don't take so long on your next voyage.
i was just thinking, "...this guy really reminds me of that flying fish pancake guy that solo'd twice out to my home in hawaii..." by golly it is you! glad you're still getting soggy!
Another very nice video Christian. And I have a pair of tasseled loafers just like yours! Perhaps it is because we are of the same vintage..."gentlemen of a certain age". ;-)
Loved the episode. Thank you for the Mr. Rogers music. It was very befitting of your videos. I've always liked your music choices especially this one. Full sails to you.👍
Thank you Skipper! I now know how whoa fully unprepared I am as a new sailor on my first sailboat! Always enjoy your material and vibe...oh, and thank you Mr Rogers as well!👌
Thanks Christian, did some of the maintenance solo sails too this year, my family knowing secretly, that "maintenance" was likely more seeked by the skipper than provided to the boat. ;-)
I really enjoyed this video, as I have all of your other ones! I'm inspired by how well and compact your tools are organized in a seemingly bottomless cubby. It's great how you make the most of calm days. I'd give anything to be able to sail in the winter. At least I have your video to vicariously enjoy being out on the water. Thank you!
love your vids, so ordered Rarotonga. Best fiction read I have held up in years and suits my sailing inclination just fine. Thanks!
yeaaaaaaaaaaaa...........my sailing philosopher is back........the world still turns.
I have to admit I thought about this gentleman a lot in the last year. Was he sailing to Hawaii? Was he staying home, wherever that may be? He's like a grandpa (and I'm too old to have one of those) that pops into my mind once in a while.
I don't even sail but I love to come along for the wit and good vibes.
Subtle homage to Mr. Rogers. Love the slippers scene. "We come home if that's what fate has in store." Masterful writing!
finally a sailing channel where i dont have to turn off the sound due to terrible music
The number one of sailing poetry.
You are an absolute legend sir. I look forward to your stories and bits of wisdom as much as I did with my grandfather. You are an oasis in this odd world. Thank you.

Sir, Your wit leaves me in stitches! Your lifetime of sailing knowledge has made its way to my boat and I thank you for it. I anxiously look forward to every video you grace with world with. Good health to you.
Loafers without socks. The mark of a true gentleman! Just love your videos (and book).
....Thanks for sharing another “beautiful day in the neighborhood” Mr. Williams! 😉👌👍
Why is no one commenting on the shoe change🥰🥰🥰😍😍????
Just like my main man Mr Roger's when I was 5 years old.
Well played good sir. Well played.
Just the tonic for a lazy sunday winter's evening.Thank you.
A pleasure to see a gentleman sailing his ship!
Although I've watched this video a time or two before, I watched it again to get a badly needed "Christian Williams" fix on what's a cold winter day here in Mobile, Alabama. Would love to see your next video.....waiting with baited breath.
Always Great when you drop by, neighbor. Keep doing that. A bit more frequently, perhaps.
Thank you, Christian for your wisdom and philosophy on sailing - and life!
Love your tool storage bags!
Dear Christian, it's so wonderful to see you back aboard. Where have you been? I hope you are in good health. I've missed your elegant prose and sharp wit. Each sea voyage, however short or long, is paragraph in a very enjoyable book to me; I'm not looking forward to the last page, so keep 'em coming.

Loving the Johnny Costa “Won’t you be my neighbor” excellent choice of music, as always!
Mr Williams, I've been watching your videos for a few years now, just wonderful.
Your audio books Alone Together and Sailing Philosophy have been listened to over and over, captivating, funny, witty, instructive and so very enjoyable.
Thank you for sharing with us 🇬🇧⛵
Poetry, patience, and philosophy i would pay to sail with this individual just to have that extra glimpse in to the uncertainty of life
Really enjoyed this episode. So many hidden beauties. Philosophy and humor, very good companions.
And I thought I had plenty tools !!! fool of me .... You never have enough T-shirts or tools !!! Great sail and nice flying neighbours !! Cheers from Muros !!!
Love this mini-series 'Why We Sail', I don't even sail, but I just subscribed. Just new in my bucket list: take up sailing lessons. Got the best opportunity living in So Cal. Keep us informed & entertained Mr Williams. Thanks & stay safe.
This is so fantastic, in the way you put your words and your never ending humour is a real relief now in the black November. ❤️
I would enjoy listening to you read a phone book. Keep em coming …
I love " lets open up this clown car and see how many clowns come out", that describes my tool chest perfectly. I would have kept the heavier braided rope only because it feels better in my hands.
Great to see you again. Hope you and your family are all doing well. Happy holidays to you all. Looking forward to your next book.
Superb presentation. Thanks for producing it. Pete, UK.
Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood! Best UA-cam entrance by far!
I love Mr William’s neighbourhood! My boat is in the cradle till spring on Huron so enjoying your vids thank you.
I believe that's called "on the hard!" You're welcome 😊
Pure class as always. Thanks!
Yes neighbor you brought me joy to see you again maybe even a little tear and some Goosebumps life is good when I see you you make me laugh and think about the wonderful things of life thank you oh by the way please don't take so long on your next voyage.
LMAO ...Im from the North East of England and i know Mr Rogers ...great opening ..love your channel marra !1
Another wonderful video gentleman sailor.
Hello!
Just found your videos. Very informative and enjoyable to watch. I look forward to seeing more.
Take care
What a great touch. Fred playing from the studio, in the bow... somewhere.
You sir, are a vlogging poet.
Hemingway weeps with jealousy.
Bravo.
Yaaaaay, what an evening! New Christian Williams video is out, I have a glass of Teran in my hand... !! Brilliant!
Good to see a new video from you. I read your book and found it raw , honest, and inspiring.
i was just thinking, "...this guy really reminds me of that flying fish pancake guy that solo'd twice out to my home in hawaii..."
by golly it is you! glad you're still getting soggy!
Love the movies and the philosophy Captain! Fair winds and blue skies to you. Thanks for sharing these experiences with a wider audience.
Thanks, Christian. My New England winters are shorter because of folks like you.
Another very nice video Christian. And I have a pair of tasseled loafers just like yours! Perhaps it is because we are of the same vintage..."gentlemen of a certain age". ;-)
Loved the episode. Thank you for the Mr. Rogers music. It was very befitting of your videos. I've always liked your music choices especially this one. Full sails to you.👍
Love your toolbox area behind the settee. I’m exactly the same but UNDER the settee. 😂😂😂
Yamaha makes a mean electric piano! Great video as always!
I live the song choices you made for this video going with the care free nature of Mister Rogers neighborhood.
Great video Christian, glad to see you back with your sailing and wonderful music.
Love this one. An ode to Fred Rogers is always good to see
Good to see you back on the water Christian. I read one of your previous sailing books. It was very enjoyable.
I will order Raratonga.
AL
Vancouver.
Thank you Skipper! I now know how whoa fully unprepared I am as a new sailor on my first sailboat! Always enjoy your material and vibe...oh, and thank you Mr Rogers as well!👌
After listening to 2 of your audiobooks, seeing these videos is like meeting an old friend. Truly inspiring. Than you very much!
Great cut to the piano player!! :) I enjoy your videos a lot! Fair winds!
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos!
I just started as a tugboat deckhand. I like the velcro tool rolls, pretty compact
Always good to see some doings from Mr.Williams neighborhood. Always enjoyable. Thank you, Sir.
Way to go cousin! You can never have enough tools, but finding the time to use them is the trick.
Thank you Sir you are a wonderful I dream one day of sailing but till then I love watching your videos
What a lovely video accompanied by really beautiful music. Christian your videos are incredibly inspiring and your books equally so! Thank you
Loving discovering you..beautiful music
You’re an artist. Thank you.
Always enjoy your videos. It is a good day when I get a UA-cam notification for a new video on your channel.
Lovely video, we live aboard our Cheoy Lee 41' and live for days we have great winds
Thanks Christian, did some of the maintenance solo sails too this year, my family knowing secretly, that "maintenance" was likely more seeked by the skipper than provided to the boat. ;-)
I just discovered your channel and I've become enchanted by you and your wonderful take on life. Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are inspiring and motivate me to chase my dream of sailing. Never stop!
Veo que ambos somos navegantes solitarios. ¡Qué bonita afición esta, la nuestra! Cada día disfruto más.
As always, another enjoyable visit with you, sir! Thank you.
Unlike the numerous sailing and boating channels, this is a "yachting" channel, something Christian seems to understand very well.
Lovely and soft afterglow of hardship... Let it come!
Thank you for your videos, Captain.
Es bueno verte otra ves en un relajado video. Saludos desde Santiago de Chile
I absolutely loved the intro! ...and of course the entire video :)
Love the floating shed, thanks for another amazing video 🙏
My E38 is currently sitting on land with snow on it. Thanks for the ride :)
I love listening to your thoughts and watching this...
Great video, as always! Thank you for taking us along. I need my sailboat to look like yours!!! You boat looks awesome!!
Thanks for taking the time to again share your love of sailing with us -
Kinda glorious video - useful info as the meal with a sense of peace for dessert! Choice of music was perfect!
I really enjoyed this video, as I have all of your other ones! I'm inspired by how well and compact your tools are organized in a seemingly bottomless cubby. It's great how you make the most of calm days. I'd give anything to be able to sail in the winter. At least I have your video to vicariously enjoy being out on the water. Thank you!
Great piece and excellent pianist
Thanks as always for thinking out loud. Enjoyable thoughts to listen to.
Thank you Mr Willaims! Jazz sailing at its best!
I love your humor I want to be like you when I grow up ❤️
It's really good to see this update from a great writer.
