I really enjoy, and highly recommend his audiobooks.
It is always so wonderful to see a new video of yours Mr. Williams!!! Not only do you brighten my day but my weeks and month too!!!
I do so wish that they were not as infrequent as they are but I do understand that life gets busy and hectic at times.
I enjoy how you address us (the viewers) as though we were on board.
In the opening I was paying heed and ducking at the first "Ready about" that most of your guests seem to have missed at the start.
You are a patient Captain.
I am curious if you ever watched the Captain Irving Johnson video I tried to send you or if you ever met him?
I look forward to your next video with eager anticipation.
Thank you.
Cheers Mr Williams! : )
Great video thank you!
perfect video to see as i start my day. thank you, sir!
Thank you
I love your videos, your books and your narration but I totally disagree with you on the issue of life jackets. With novices, it’s not a question of personal choice – inexperienced people have absolutely no idea of how easy it is to go overboard and how disastrous it can be and how difficult it is to get someone back on board.
Just my ten cents worth.
LOL
Fantastic. Thanks!
Perfect to a tee
brilliant! Mr. Williams is an amazing narrator. Any skipper can relate to the content of this video, especially the point about blocking the companionway :))))
Great video, you do an excellent work.
Was it ever discovered who actually was speaking to who ??
You have far more patience that I, Christian. I refuse to take any more than 2 guests at time out sailing. It's just not worth it.
I'm laughing my * off- 6 people in the cockpit with you and they make sailing the boat harder not easier. So typical!
Glad this channel is more active. Keep it up!
an instructional film I'll share with future guests. Im always flip-flopping on life-jacket policy though mostly align to your view. That said, now that we have a swim platform it is a lot easier to get a body back in, so I no longer just write 'em off
Yeah GOLFERS ARE JERKS…
❤
thelonius has to be the most cared for ericson ever made. perfect from every angle.
Can I adopt you as my grandfather?
Now that was a good sized group!
Excellent video!
It must be incredible to sail Thelonious with Christian. This gentleman is a moving library when it comes to sailing, and explains everything so well that even a novice can understand. I love every video of his.
Well done Christian.
This is a great video. I understand you feel it's personal choice not to wear a pfd on your boat. What reasons do people give for not wearing one besides being uncomfortable? I have a pfd requirement on mine. We're all novice sailors. I haven't had anyone insist on not wearing one though I have had very experienced sailors arrive with no pfd. (I only go out in lightish winds.) I give them one to wear and they don't give me any push back.
Thanks, that was great! We take guests out often on our Catalina 34 and you've given me some good ideas I will definitely implement.
I often offer to show guests how to handle the same jobs you described – sheet winches, the main sheet traveler, and the main sheet. I think some people enjoy themselves more if they have something to do. And, like you, I put people behind the wheel. Almost every time, I get the comment that steering the boat is so different from steering a vehicle; they can feel the currents, the weather helm, all of it. They understand how micro-adjustments to the wheel can have huge impacts on speed and boat performance. It gives them a greater appreciation of the complexity and joy of sailing.
About life jackets: here on the British Columbia coast, the water is cold (even in the summer), so I insist everyone wear a life jacket when in the cockpit or on deck; the rule goes (sorry for the pun) hand-in-hand with the other principle – keep one hand for yourself, the other for the ship. The shock of cold water almost always makes a person draw in a quick breath, so wearing a life jacket keeps heads above water and (hopefully) water out of the lungs, should anyone accidentally fall overboard.
I also ask people to move fore and aft along the side decks on the windward side. There's less going on there (i.e., sheets), and it means that if something breaks or lets go, no one is in the way of flying whatever.
Keep up the great videos!
Thank for making this!
Thanks!
This whole video could be a sailors guest Meme
When you inducted me into your crew you failed to give me a safety briefing or to remind me that in the event you pass me at the toerail by falling overboard at sea, I am to assume the role of skipper.
This would tend to focus my, as a guest's, mind a little, to look after and generally faun after and Molly coddle the important one.
Ha.. some very good take-aways here.
I remember an outing with a cockpit full of people when during a tack, I needed to release the traveler to slide over. Lots of stepping on feet! Indeed, I need to re-script my pre-launch speech to include a bit more training for the guests.
Hi Mr. Williams,
I'm always eager and excited to watch your YouTube videos. Thanks for the inspiration you imbibe amongst the enthused-that includes myself. I haven't sailed but I just love the water and I want sailing to be that something a human being should have in life by way of learning something new for the upkeep of our neuron synapses-where all senses are engaged in the process. No other way, but sailing would do thus for me. I have an "Introductory Sailing" at Sausalito, CA on December and I believe it is the start if something wonderful. Thanks once again for the videos!
What a fantastic video. Loved it sir.
nice to hear you again Christian, i liked the golf anecdote so true, I sail for Richmond yacht Club in Auckland, New Zealand and we take out people that have never sailed before for some friendly races, they get to go on 8 different types and sizes of sail boats over the course of the summer and anybody is welcome, I like taking them out and introducing people to the freedom of sailing
HA HA HAAAAA, Ready about!!! HA HA HA HAAAAA
Not one of them heard ready about !
Lol…I was racing past your starboard side on the green solong while you were out making this video. I would love to day sail with you some time and enjoy the wind and chewing the fat.
