Episode #198 : What to expect when visiting Marina del Rey as a guest boater

Hello Friends,

This is a new series I am starting now that we are cruising full-time. These "A Boaters Guide" will be How To/Reviews of transient slips, public docks and moorings and guest anchorages.

I found the process of arriving to Marina del Rey and paying confusing so I decided to start this series to try and make it easier for others who get a slip here to understand the process.

Is there any questions in the video I didn't answer for you? Please let me know so I can make the future episodes even better.

Here is a link to where the slips are: https://goo.gl/maps/eFirLpoooj8N2G599

Episode 376 : Season 12 : Sailing Australia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we provision in Broadwater Bay near Gold Coast and start making our way up inside the Intracoastal Waterway. We had to move the with tides inside the ICW so we only traveled about 10 miles each day. For the first night we anchored at Tipplers Anchorage on South Stradbroke Island and had a wonderful hike across the island seeing kangaroos, wallabies and golden wallabies! We also saw a number of beautiful birds we had never seen before!

Episode #256 : Season 9 : The South Pacific

Hello Friends,

Well the time had finally come to move on and undertake the next big leg of my circumnavigation. I departed Kona, Hawaii after spending 9 months licking my wounds, repairing Triteia and exploring the Hawaiian Islands.

The passage from Hawaii to the Tuamotus took 26 days and covered 2323nm, which should be the longest passage of my entire circumnavigation.

I want to thank my shore team with special thanks to David Frederick and Sarah Koenig for your help during the crossing.

This episode is being released on the one year anniversary of my arrival to Oahu.

I hope you enjoy this film.

Episode 401 : Season 13 : Sailing Indonesia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we head over to the largest of the Banda Islands, Banda Basar with Mr. Man to get a tour of the Nutmeg Plantation. One of my favorite things about sailing the world is getting to travel back in time by knowing the history of a place. The fact that this was the only place in the world Nutmeg, Mace and Cloves grew is mind blowing to me! And with any rare commodity there is a dark side of the history as well with the VOC killing 90% of the Bandanese people.

If you are ever cruising through the Spice Islands make sure you hire Mr. Man for a tour.

Episode 01 : San Diego to Marina Del Rey - with Sailor Commentary at the end of the episode.

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 !

Episode 375 : Season 12 : Sailing Australia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we depart Port Stephens in storms to continue our push North to Queensland. The passages from New South Wales to Queensland were some of the most brutal I have experienced, and not because of weather or big seas, but because of the East Australian Current that runs down the coast from Brisbane, making progress very slow and grueling. We averaged 3.5 knots in 24 Horus on some of the legs of this passage, with full motor on and sails up. Clawing our way up the coast was agonizing.

This video is just a collection of the "highlights" as I dont film day after day of motoring up the coast, because it's simply not that interesting.

Hi hi!
Headed back from a weekend at Catalina and what could be better than a wild ale at sea?! Since James got the new fridge up and running I can have a cold beer anytime:) I've been saving this bottle of Oceanna from Propolis Brewing since we visited their taproom when we were in Port Townsend. That delivery was my first and so exciting, I'm glad to have saved a beer from our trip to share with y'all and relive the memory of the delivery. She's slightly sour with a silky body and a refreshing woodsy finish. Hope you enjoy this throw back to our yacht deliver from the PNW as much as I do!

This is just a simple video that corresponds with my larger head project (https://youtu.be/bcPeFUgJAjA ). The Jabsco Y-Valve comes with 1 1/2" ports installed and an additional 1" port that you can switch out for any of the points. This is a handy feature because the Jabsco Macerator Pump has a 1" intake.

There are great videos showing these units taken apart in better detail than my video at: https://www.youtube.com/JabscoMarine

Hello Friends,

I made this video to show my viewers a project that didn't work out. I bought a small 50 watt solar panel that I wanted to install someplace out of the way and decided to try and remake my aft hatch into a solar hatch. I knew that 50 watts doesn't do much for charging your batteries and is more of a trickle charger than anything but I wanted something to keep juice in the batteries when at anchor or if the power went out at the dock. We plan on adding solar to our quarter rails so this would have just been the first small panel in the set up.

I designed the hatch to be positionable using RAM mounts on either side allowing the panel to be adjusted and pointed towards the sun in various directions. I also installed a rubber latch aft so any breaking waves over the stern wouldn't rip the panel off the hinged base.

I took the wood structure to the boat to test fit it and made a critical error during my test fit. I didn't screw the hinges into the new hatch as it would be mounted on the final install. Instead I simply opened it as I would with the regular hatch and it appeared I still had plenty of room to access the lazarette. In doing so I was pivoting the hatch on the lower part of the panel housing and not where the hinges mount to.

In the end I thought the design was a good idea so I wanted to make this video to share with everyone in case this sort of idea can be implemented onto your boat or project in some way.

Episode 394 : Season 12 : Sailing Australia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we explore Lizard Island. We knock out some laundry at a hand pump in a field, little house on the prairie style, before hiking up to where Captain Cook stood desperately searching for a way out of the Great Barrier Reef after repairing the Endeavour at Cooktown. The views from the top were out of this world!

The next day we hiked over to the lagoon side of the island and I enjoyed some fantastic snorkeling!

I hope you enjoy this latest adventure as we begin to close out our time in Australia

Welcome to YARNS; Conversations with Cruisers, A Sailing Podcast

James Frederick sits down with sailors he meets around the world to record their seas stories in remote anchorages and far-flung ports. All the interviews are recorded as a video podcast that is released on the Sailing Triteia YouTube Channel. They are also being made available as an audio podcast for those who prefer this format of content.

On this episode I interview Dave & Jaja Martin about their wild life of sailing a modified Cal 25 around the world and starting a family during the circumnavigation. With the arrival of their third child they upgraded to a steel 33ft boat, Driver, and headed for the arctic where whey over wintered in the ice year after year living in Newfoundland, Iceland, and the Lofoten Islands of Norway.

This interview was a special treat because it was the first time I have interviewed two generations of sailors in the same family. Their daughter Holly Martin @WindHippieSailing was on the podcast back in June of 2023 : https://youtu.be/gTMg8n-s0_U

Thanks again to the Martin Family for having me over to your beautiful home for dinner and to spin some yarns and thanks to Holly for making it happen.

Episode #278 : Season 9 : The South Pacific

Hello Friends,

On this episode I leave the protected lagoon that surrounds Raiatea and Taha'a and make way for Bora Bora. Just outside of the pass I encounter a large pod of sleeping pilot whales who pay me little mind. I had mellow motorsail until coming into the pass at Bora Bora when I am hit by a squall in the worst possible location.

Episode 373 : Season 12 : Sailing Australia

Hello Friends,
On this episode I teach you how to sail onto and off of anchor. This is a process every sailor should know how to do and be practiced at because at some point you will find yourself without the ability to relay on your engine whether it be from engine failure or bad fuel, a line around your prop or a dead battery.

If you practice this every chance you get, it will make "having" to do it far less stressful.
