Thank You for sharing. Have you tried : The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann. With possibly a movie in the making by
Martin Scorsese with Leonardo Di Caprio. Yet it's currently unclear when the movie will be released, with no concrete debut date confirmed as of yet. Merry Christmas
such a delight, Christian
You have such a good point there, when you talk about how everything is true adventure, first person account stories.
I love sailing, but I get a little bored by all the "realism" of the sailors on youtube. As a consumer, sometimes it's just more interesting to have a story wrapped around the experience than just the barebone experience itself.
The older books combined the imagination with reality and bridged that. I'd rather read moby dick or the seawolf than "Down Channel".
Greetings from Frankfurt, Germany. I have followed you on your journeys of discovery to Hawaii and also sympathise with your love of jazz (I, however, am more of a John Coltrane fan, although, Thelonius Monk doesn't hurt my ears). My first book on sailing was Auther Beiser's, "The Proper Yacht". I am originally from Colorado and knew nothing about sailing but this book introduced me to the world of beautiful sailboats from which I never recovered. I keep a classic wooden sailboat in the Netherlands very much like the one described in "The Riddle of the Sands" and often sail the Frisian Islands. Some of the islands are essentially car free and their old world charm is magic. Fröhe Weinachten.
👍
He is such a handsome man!!!
Thanks Christian for another installment. When I see your name pop up in my notifications, I know I'm in for a treat, and that my day will be much better than I was owed. You're a treasure.
13:18 Sorry to disagree but the ship in 2 yrs before the mast transported cow hides not seal skins to be made into shoes on the east coast
Always look forward to your videos. The Godforsaken Sea by Derek Lundy to keep things in perspective when it all goes wrong. And The Sea Will Tell by Vincent Bugliosi, a true story about murder in Palmyra.
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THE 14 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO SAILED AROUND THE WORLD ??? MET HER FATHER AT THE MARINA DEL REY
THE RUMOR WAS THAT PEOPLE AT THE MARINA WAS MAD AT HIM FOR LETTING HIS DAUGHTER GO OUT SAILING ALONE ACROSS
THE WORLD. PS MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
Sterling Hayden? Was thinking about Wanderer…
"Be Sure to Drink Your Ovaltine" A crummy commercial….. "Be sure to buy my book." A crummy commercial.🤣😂 Wonderful to have you back!
Thanks for the heads-up about Victor Slocum's book.
I have many doubts about some of Joshua's tales…but man, could he write about sailing and the sea! Some really beautiful, evocative turns of phrase.
just finished on audio philosophy of sailing it is now my absolute favourite
Thanks so much for all of those insights Christian and it is heart warming to know that you are still ‘with us’. A lifetime of reading and thinking is such a valuable thing to share. Thanks also for including those moments where you were deeply moved and we could see how your loving father had nurtured your love of the sea. It was nice to see the way in which you caressed some of your favourites (leather bound Moby Dick) and hurled aside but not overboard some of the dross.
Wishing you and all a Happy New Year. Thank you for another wonderful post. Bravo Zulu on the sail cover and glad you included Alone Together in your book list! Great commentary about the importance of a personal belief system and philosophy. Can't agree more! Wonderful observations and good suggestions. Thank you and Happy Landings! _/)
I love all your videos. Really inspiring for my own adventures.
Its very good to hear about a new book, and other books as well.
I’ve enjoyed all your books and videos. Absolute legend.. happy holidays to you and yours.. cheers from your friends in Canada 🇨🇦.
Good job Christian.
Merry Christmas, Christian. Good to hear from you again.
I will turn 70 this spring and have started, in part due to your videos, to come up with new adventures I can look forward to, instead of despairing over the mounting indignities of old age. Thank you. Anchors away.
IMO, your audiobooks are the greatest!
Moby Dick by the Easton Press was offered at the introductory price of $1.99 or some other ridiculous number. People would get this and promptly cancel their subscription. This explains the surfeit of them online. Beautiful volume, you can probably find it for less than a new paperback.
You gonna play jazz, play it nice and loud.
Thank you for this excellent bibliography, and shopping list! Ever read Coot Club, a delightful novel of children’s sailing adventures on England’s Norfolk rivers, by Arthur Ransome? I read it as a boy, 50 years ago, as I was learning to sail.
Ah you are making sails. Soon to make way. FYI: Another nice addition to the Aubrey-Maturin series, Lobscouse and Spotted Dog: Which It's a Gastronomic Companion to the Aubrey/Maturin Novels. I have an occasional gathering with those who have finished the entire series, I prepare meals from the cookbook, toast Patty O’Brian with Pusser’s, and finish with spotted Dick. Then the main course, watching “Master and Commander” over really good speakers and a big OLED screen. Especially good show with a few rounds of Pusser’s.

Thanks, always enjoy your videos. Ever read “Trekka Around the World” by John Guzzwell? Interesting story and John was on the Seaton yacht when she pitch poled. He filmed the experience. An interesting film, I believe, available on YouTube. John is not with us anymore but his boat was on my dock for a few years. SV Brooklyn Salish Sea.
I'm looking forward to seeing or reading whatever it is you do next. I've enjoyed my audio books of "Alone Together" and "Philosophy of Sailing" at least twice each and just going for a 3rd time. Cheers
Thank you for the video and the recommendations. Take care.
When Christian speaks I listen. He is wise and a treasure.
Just a reminder, it’s 2024 (very soon 2025) and we’re still reading them.
Great to hear from you Christian … Always a pleasure to listen to your recommendations . All the best to you, best Xmas and so on … and big cheers from Muros !!!
forgot .. Sailing Alone , a History by Richard J King is also a great read !! Cheers
Awesome list. Thanks for the ideas. Great to see James Baldwin get a shoutout!

Bare en kommentar; jeg liker illustrasjonene i boka «North by east» by Kent. Kanskje er den å finne på det lokale biblioteket? Men når ble den skrevet og når ble den utgitt første gang? Disse illustrasjonene har et eget grafisk og dramatisk uttrykk – sort og hvitt!?
Great recomendations, but better yet, great to see you post again!
Thank you very much. I will recommend a beloved Chilean book. "The last cabin boy of the Baquedano" 1941 from Francisco Coloane. A classic Patagonian novel every Chilean knows, a must-read for all primary school students here. I highly recommend it. Regards from southern Chile.
Wow I was talking about you the other day .😂
Glad to see you mate.
Christian, please share your sewing machine details! Much love from the MS Gulf Coast ⛵️🏝️💚🎄
Still one of my favorite videos is watching you playing jeopardy with yourself from Ca to Hawaii. Please let us know when your book is completed. Glad to hear you’re doing well. Merry Christmas!
I bet Christian smells like wood and peppermint patties! 😂
Hello, have you read the book SEA OF GLORY? The U.S. Exploration Expedition if 1838-1842. Written by Nathaniel Philbrick. The same author of In the heart of the sea.
I READ " Riddle of the Sands " and also " The Strange Voyage of Donald Crowhurst " every few years . Merry Xmas .
Glad to see you ARE still with us. Great music in the background. A continuing inspiration.
Fair winds!
Christian…..please allow me to recommend a possibly unknown-to-you book that is guaranteed to satisfy your nautical literary thirst. Published first in 1940, HURRICAN'S WAKE, a true story by Ray Kauffman, is such a thirst quencher. In the 1930s, Mr. Kauffman and a companion traveled from the midwest down to a sleeply coastal town in Mississippi called Pascagoula. They were in search of a boatbuilder who could build a ketch in which they could sail the world. They indeed contracted with a crafty old boatbuilder by the name of Sidoine Krebs, whose family had been building boats along the bayou for more than a hundred years. The boat is built, provisioned for the voyage, and off they go around the globe. It's a ascinating story, one I believe you will thoroughly enjoy. Seventy-one years ago I was born in Pascagoula and for the past thirty-five years have docked my forty-two sailboat in the city harbor. Sincerely, I hope you'll look this book up and "take if for a sail…."
James Baldwin has a really great YouTube channel himself, Atom Voyager, where he showcases his wonderful skills in refitting and modifying various sailboats. The boat he circumnavigated on, Atom, he still has. A Pearson Triton.
