    I use to watch your videos and feel the sea calling me with a gut wrenching desire to be sailing. Now I am so thankful I got to spend 3 years at sea on my own boat and realize it's so much more of a difficult life than I could have imagined. I am now done with my journey at sea and ready to begin my journey by land. I'll enjoy watching your sea adventures James while remembering it's more difficult than it appears! Stay the awesome dude that you are!

    Awesome video! I’ve been watching you for quite some time and I have to admit I’m kind of glad you’re off that rag tag Zingaro and moving on. IMOyou ran boat into the sea (ground for sure, you had me worried for you and Kim at times.Can’t wait to see what’s up with your future with the next catamaran. This video really shows how intense the technicality is of sailing a boat like that across the Pacific, and you definitely seem to have met your match and are conquering it! Fun to watch! Can’t wait for the next one…👍👏

    The staysail is your friend, use it more, especially in stronger winds when you are reefed. Put out a bit of the jib if you must. Jib for lighter wind, staysail for stronger. Drop the main if it gets really strong and run the mizzen and staysail only, perfect balance on a Mason, I have sailed a few. Aloha, D.

Every time you become more experienced. I’ve been around the world many times. I can’t remember how many, but I remember it all.
