Episode 355 : Season 11 : The South Island of New Zealand - Aotearoa

Hello Friends,
On this episode we depart Long Bay and head up a very tight channel to the small town of Havelock at the far end of Pelorus Sound. After getting fueled up and the water topped off we found a slip for the night.

The next day we headed out on a hike to a waterfall Rhonda had found online. It was a beautiful hike and she even talked me into to getting in to the very cold water.

Episode 325 : Season 10 : New Zealand - Aotearoa

Hello Friends,
On this episode I head ashore at Matakohe Island (Limestone Island) in Whangārei in search of the ever illusive Kiwi birds. After enjoying the birdsong at sunset and seeing my first Morepork, I head out for reinforcements to pick up my friend Zhané from a near by boat ramp. We head back over to the island and on the first trail we head up see our first KIWI in the wild !!!!!

These little birds are hard to film in the dark but I plan on doing many more night missions and hope to get better footage someday, until then I will be happy with this clip reminding me of the experience!

We hiked around the island in the dark and ended up seeing four Kiwi birds in total! What an amazing time!

Episode #289 : Season 9 : The South Pacific

Hello friends,
This episode documents one of my favorite memories of my entire life. I made my way into the inland of Fiji to visit Vaudomo Waterfall and had a wonderful time swimming in the freshwater pool as the village children jumped off the cliffs and played all around. The sound of their joy in this amazing place that is their regular playground was something I will never forgot.

This video documents the recent sailing trip I crewed on onboard the sailing vessel The Intrepid. We motor-sailed from San Diego, California to the San Francisco Bay area. 10 days, 111 hours at sea and 470 nautical miles. The uphill battle against wind and currents, sailing north on the west coast is no pleasure cruise.

The crew were as follows:
Tim Brill (Owner)
Cody Brill (Captain and son of Tim)
Nigel Howat (English Sailor/45+ years sailing experience)
& James Frederick (thats me).

I have a blog where you can read all the journal entries about each leg of the passage: http://allwaysbutstill.tumblr.com

I will also be uploaded each leg of the trip as "episodes" that will feature commentary at the end reading some of the journal entries and talking about what happened or what we saw on that particular part of the trip.

Please subscribe if you like the video, there will be more !


About the Crew Members:
Tim Brill was a professional mountaineering guide for many years and has climbed all over the world. A few years ago Tim bought The Intrepid, which became famous in 2008 as it sailed around the world by the youngest person to solo sail around the world (Zac Sunderland). Tim and his sons have completed the ASA certifications 101-108 and have several trips in the planning stages. Currently he is owns an Aerobatic Flight School in Reno, Nevada where he teaches people to fly and to do stunts. http://www.aerobaticcompany.com

Ahoy Friends,

We are back to some project videos and this time we make the final push on completing the Galley redesign and build out.

On this episode I talk a little bit about the project then we get into cutting out the 54 year old galley counter top with careful consideration for the new counter. We will be making a custom "ice box" refrigerator that will fill all of the available space beneath the counter top to starboard.

The next several episodes of this "Galley Redux" series will show us cutting the foam and making templates, the construction of the ice box, the dry fit and finally the installation of the new ice box and cold plate system so Camille can have all the cold beer her heart desires.

Episode 385 : Season 12 : Sailing Australia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we explore the small island of Hexham and ride out some wild weather. We had never heard of this island and had only came here because our intended anchorage of Supply Bay turned out to be a bombing range. We really loved our visit to this small island that we would have never stopped at otherwise, sometimes having your plans not go as you thought they would gives you wonderful experiences.

Episode #180 - New Head Plumbing and Manual Black Water Pump

Hello Friends, This is a throwback project video from the summer of 2020 when we started the massive project of redesigning and rebuilding our head.

On this episode I get into figuring out how to fit all of the plumbing into the small space in our tiny head. On AMAZING upgrade (a downgrade to most people) is I removed our working electronic macerator pump and replaced it with a Whale Pumps manual black water diaphragm pump. This allows us to pump out our holding tank at sea without using any electricity and removes the fear of the macerator pump failing when the tank is full (they tend to only last a few years with regular use)

This video is for anyone trying to figure out how its possible to fit all the fittings into a small spot. It takes some creative thinking and staring at the space for hours on end.

THE FALKEN SAGAS: An Epic Adventure with 59º North Sailing Along The Viking Route:
Newfoundland to Greenland to Iceland.

Welcome to the first episode of The Falken Sagas series. I left Triteia in her southern hemisphere’s winter berth in Whangarei, New Zealand and flew back to North America to meet up with Andy Schell and 59º North Sailing. Andy had invited me to join him on a high latitude adventure onboard their Farr 65, Falken, to sail the Viking Route from Newfoundland to Greenland, transit Prince Christian Sound and sail on to the West Fjords of Iceland across the North Atlantic. Along for this adventure was Andy’s First Mate Vilma and the crew of the Falken; Jim, Matt, Richa, Johnathan, Charlotte, Gavin, Alejandro & Nick.

I have made several long format films and video episodes documenting our journey and adventures. Starting with preparations in Newfoundland then our passage to Greenland, our time cruising in Southern Greenland and our passage to Iceland. All of the drone footage you see in the films was shot by Andy Schell, otherwise all the footage was filmed by myself on a gopro.


About 59º North: @59NorthSailing

ANDY SCHELL & MIA KARLSSON started 59º North to pursue their own passion for offshore sailing and to share it with other like-minded people out there who yearn to see what's over the horizon & learn about themselves in the process. We set an ambitious schedule, sailing 10,000 MILES PER YEAR making landfall in ports from the Caribbean to the Arctic, Bermuda, Europe, Cuba, Canada & more, with the world's oceans as our stomping ground. Since 2015 our team has grown to include some of our best friends and like-minded sailors – AUGUST SANDBERG, EMMA GARSCHAGEN, RYAN FINSTAD, LEE CUMBERLAND & RYAN ELLISON – all working together to pursue our passions.
In 2020 we started THE QUARTERDECK, a unique-to-sailing online membership platform where we dive deep on the art of seamanship. Members have direct access to us, we have a growing resource library of onboard checklists, SOPs, logbooks and more, and we’ve moved all of our LIVE sessions onto the platform for members only.
Since 2013 we’ve published weekly podcasts on sailing, and now have three distinct shows — ON THE WIND, the main interview show hosted by Andy Schell, August Sandberg , Nikki Henderson & Emma Garschagen; THE QUARTERDECK PODCAST, a more technical, companion show to our online platform; and SAILING STORIES, a unique, serialized podcast showcasing ‘tales from the high seas, told week by week.’ All of our podcasts are free, and always will be — available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
If you've dreamed of seeing STARS DOWN TO THE HORIZON, if you yearn to LOSE SIGHT OF LAND for days on end, if you want to UNPLUG from the world ashore and TRAVEL TO NEW LANDS at a human pace, then join us for the OFFSHORE SAILING ADVENTURE of a lifetime. We'll see you on the high seas. HOLD FAST!

Episode #181 - Plastimo Water Bladder Install Option

Hello Friends,

On this episode we show you inside our fouled forward water tank. We decided to insert a water bladder inside the old tank for potable water until we can get our large integrated water tank built in the bilge.

This video will show you our process and might help you do a similar install if you have an old water tank that is beyond saving.

Episode #294 : Season 9 : The South Pacific

Hello Friends,

On this episode I depart Nanuya Lailai Island and make way for Naviti Island in search of a downed WWII fighter plane that lays sunken underwater in the Lagoon.

After finding good anchorage near a long sandy beach I headed a shore snorkel gear and a machete and set off the island on an over grown trail. I eventually found the site and swam out to have a look at the small plane.

you can find out more information about the plane and its pilot here: https://pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/p-39/fiji.html

Episode 393 : Season 12 : Sailing Australia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we visit the historic Endeavour River at Cooktown where Captain Cook and his crew beached the HMS Endeavour to save her after striking a near by reef and officially discovering they were trapped inside what we now call the Great Barrier Reef.

We visited the Cooktown Museum and enjoyed seeing all of the artifacts from the varied past of this region. The highlight for me was seeing the anchor and a canon from the Endeavour that were jettisoned to save the ship when she was hard on the reef.

After a nice stay in Cooktown we took advantage of the winds and had a great over night sail to Lizard Island.
