The boat work is DONE!! (well.. the major stuff at the moment). I am finally free to [literally] sail where the wind blows me. My first few stops are some of my favorites and I hope you enjoy the change of pace with me.

Give a little extra support 💞 The circumnavigation is JUST beginning... all of your help goes towards more gear to make the videos a bit better and the boat safer and more functional for myself as a single hand (and maybe an extra treat for Mako)

After 3.5 days of sailing, in the dark and with magnificent views we reached Gibraltar. Technically we are still in Spain - Marina Alcadeisa - as it’s cheaper and easier without check-in and walking distance from Gibraltar. After some damage, that occurred during the passage is fixed, we are off to explore - THE ROCK :))
It was truly impressive - and so much to see - from the top of the world views, very entertaining Barbary macaques to St Michael's Cave and way more…
And after all is done we are on a quick hm… controversial mission - but you will have to watch to find out…

And thanks so much for watching 🙏

The Moorings and Sunsail and other charter boat companies have owners buy the boats for them, use them in the charter industry for five years, and then the owner can keep the boat. Does this financially make sense for you? Here's how charter to ownership works, guaranteed revenue models, and boat maintenance factor in on a boat loan or boat mortgage.

Episode # 196 : A Change of Course

Hello Friends,

Here is the story of my ill fated attempt at solo sailing our 30ft sailboat Triteia to the Hawaiian Islands.

We had pushed hard to finally live land life behind and were 2 months behind our planned departure date due to parts shortages and unexpected complications with getting our new mast installed. Our original cruising plans were for James to sail solo to Hawaii then continue on to Alaska where Camille and Mister Steady would come on board. All of the delays and the advancing summer season gave us a very tight time window on making this dream come true. This resulted in not enough time to throughly sea trail the windvane....

After days of beating into 20-30 knot winds, my self steering Windvane began to work its self loose from the boat. The threads in the housing of the windvane itself failed which presented the possibility of losing the vane into the sea or WORSE possibly damage the transom of the boat due to the massive loads placed on this gear at sea. Impossible to fix underway I made the hard call and came about and abandoned my attempt for Hawaii.

Could I have lashed the windvane and continued on? Possibly yes but my concern was once I made it to Hawaii would I get stuck in Hawaii if the vane was not able to be repaired? I also had to consider there is no quick exit from Hawaii. It is 3 weeks or a month sail from Hawaii to anywhere on the West Coast of the North America.

I had not 1 but 2 electronic "Tiller Pilots" as a back up and for coastal cruising in light winds but these units are, strangely enough, Not waterproof and tend to burn out very easily. So I wasn't without redundancies but anyone who goes ocean sailing knows that a windvane is the most critical gear on the boat especially so for a solo sailor.

So as with all things sailing, one must be flexible and willing to change course when necessary.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
I`m sailing sailing around the world in my Bavaria 55 Cruiser, making videos whenever I have time for it. Most of the time I sail singlehanded but occasionally I do have sailing friends onboard. Still in the Caribbean due to Covid and was supposed to be in Asia by now.

Even though this is season 3 on youtube I have already sailed 4 seasons full time but did not make that many videos in the beginning. Before full-time sailing, I have sailed several seasons in the Med prior to this, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I have been traveling the world before and also been an active regatta sailor. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and been sailing ever since.

PLEASE BE KIND IN THE COMMENTS!
I'm just a normal person sharing my travel adventure through my eyes and experience from my perspective! Remember how I do things might work for me but not for you. It might even not be the correct way to do things, and I don't have the blueprint either. I'm not perfect and nobody is. The day I believe I know it all and don't think I can learn new things I should go ashore.

On this episode of Sailing Vessel Triteia I cut access ports in the old diesel fuel tank and clean out the sludge that had been living inside for years. I had contacted fuel polishing services about cleaning it while in place but the cost was more than buying a new tank. I decided to take it out, cut an access hole and clean the tank myself.

After the cuts and cleaning are done I get to painting the starboard lazarette.

I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do please give it a “thumbs up”!


Fair Winds,
Sailor James

There is nothing boring about living on a boat; something is always going on. Deep Week freediving camp ends, we say goodbye to our friends, and take a little road trip south to enjoy the afternoon at a beach. We meet the sweetest bar owner and enjoy our time relaxing in the water, something that we actually don't get to do much. Then, my anchor arrives!! From ordering to Miami to get shipped to Nassau, and for them to ship it to Long Island; it took over a MONTH to receive my new anchor. I may have gone a little extra, but I am so excited to feel secure at anchor again.

| Season 3 | Episode 48

Welcome to Season 3 of my channel!

On this episode we lave Sandivk just after midnight racing the next "wind event" that is scheduled for the next morning at 11am, bringing 35+ knots along with it once again.

I enjoyed a beautiful night at the helm and finally got to experience the the sun never fully setting. It was like a prolonged sunset that turned into a sunrise and by 3:30am it was bright and crisp.

Neil had seen "Bjökör on Navionics and asked the guys at the market about it in Sandvik and no one seemed to know about it. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to find it was a nature preserve, had a south facing harbor and only one spot to tie a boat up to the dock, which thankfully was empty.

This season will follow my time on board SV Arcturus as we explore the Åland Islands and beyond. We sail into cities, tie up on small islands, anchor bows to and ride out a blow before heading back to Sweden. I hope you will follow along with us on the trip.

Episode 344 : Season 10 : New Zealand - Aotearoa

Hello Friends,
On this episode I haul up anchor at Great Barrier Island after an amazing stay and make way for Waiheke Island to hide from some approaching weather. The passage started out quiet but as the day progressed the seas started to build in the Hauraki Gulf and by the time I approached Waiheke the seas were charging and the winds were force 5.

I eventually made my way around to the south side of the island and tucked into Putiki Bay in the howling winds.

Episode 412 : Season 13 : Sailing Indonesia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we sail to the uninhabited island of Gili Banta Island and are confronted by the very sad and common reality of plastic pollution here in Indonesia. The plastic trash in this country is completely out of control. From the lack of infrastructure to the lack of desire of the people to the endless production of non-recyclable plastics being churned out by corporations in the form of single use servings, this poisoning of our planet seems like an impossible problem when you walk in the jungles, towns and beaches of Indonesia.
