Just finished Alone Together audiobook. Huge fan of everything you do.

Somehow one of the best sailing channels without all the BS, no music, no drone shots. Just some boat repairs with sailing wisdom.

I appreciate the honesty of “leaving your slip can be hard” from someone with so much experience. Thanks for making me feel better about some of my own mishaps.

I saw exactly that track taken by a long keeler in our marina. Luckilly the old fellow attracted quite an audience because when his universal joint broke there were around 12 committed marina dwellers there to arrest his progress. No gel coats were scratched.

Mr Williams, you are a living example on how to live a life. Cogratulations and thank you very much!!.

Another great video, with the relaxing voice of the narrator

Thanks Christian. Always a pleasure, as well as a treasure.

As a truck driver, I have enjoyed all of your audio books and videos. After I hang up these keys, I will be setting sail to other lands without pavement under my coccyx. It is funny seeing your sewing projects mentioned in "Alone together." They are like Easter eggs just between you and your readers. Thank you again for sharing.

Great to see you sailing again. You are an inspiration to all of us.

From binging your content last night because I was missing your content to waking up to a newer video is a treat

The V~birth step…. Magic! All the best Richard

Thank you Christian, I love your observations on life and sailing.

You won't like to hear this but you are a national treasure

I said the same thing.

I love the philosophy that comes from anticipating,overcoming and reflecting on the many sailing challenges. We strive to remodel a battlefield to be more of a playground. It is fulfilling to rest in peace knowing that we have overcame. Christian’s experiences and wonderful narrative help us immensely knowing that it can be done.

I have always felt there was a Zen-like quality to sailing - a centering, calming all good feeling of being on the water and in tune with the boat, the wind, the water and the creatures... watching the small details of your experiences brings much of that into focus again. Having raced for many years, I tired of the loud voices and over exuberance on the course - now I venture out with renewed joy that in part I owe to you sir! Cheers from the Atlantic in New Hampshire!

glad to see you back - i enjoy the videos - i am landlocked in missouri and dream of sailing - thank you for the time you share

Ahoy Captain! I have about 1/1000000 the experience that you have but I feel for ya. I was trying to back into my slip with my full keel Nor Sea 27 the other day and geeez, it just would not go where I was steering, hoping and guessing it should. I was doing the same thing with forward reverse but never got it. Eventually just regrouped and pulled in. I love your videos. God bless you sir. Dear Audience, If you haven't listened to Christian Williams's audio books yet, you are missing some really good stuff. Audible is one platform to find them.

Always so happy to see your videos. Your books have inspired me to set out on my own sailing adventure. Thank you, Christian!

Great to see you again! Hope there will be many more videos this summer!

Brilliant as usual. I really respect you stranger. I was pleased as you sat on the bow upon your pillows made of gold and thanked you in your splendor. Thank you. 😎

Christian Williams on a Saturday morning... Thank you!

The infamous Mr Squeaky strikes again. We found it upsets humback whales. Seriously. They get all agro when it starts. This is one of the best sensible sailing videos I have seen. Thank you so much!

Have a great season sailing Christian! At 71 I'm in my second year of sailing here in central Ohio on my 19' Flying Scot.

I just love your videos. Here for the poetry… oh and the sailing!

Just finished philosophy of sailing and this popped up. Have always enjoyed your captured moments and words weaved to take me out there when I cannot be.

Hello Sir! You have nice varnishing skills! That dinghy looks awesome. Cheers from Portugal!

Your commentary is superb... only a minute in and already smiling!

So good to see you sailing with your knowledge and wisdom,it’s a treat Thank you

You, sir, are a Legend. I know nothing about sailing.. but you make it enthralling. Fantastic storyteller..

1000 likes. Mr. Williams, sir, you are an inspiration.

Been watching your channel for a few years now, very enjoyable content.

An Irish Sunday morning listening to Christian Williams, divine.

A true inspiration. Thank you for sharing. Fair winds captain. Enjoy your summer.

Can relate to slip ! Nothing like being in irons just feet from boats, docks, etc.. after seeing your sails, I now know how truly blown out ours are!!!

beautiful video, you are a great sailor and a great person, glad to have found you on youtube, thank you for your teachings.

As long as Christian Williams is putting out sailing videos, all is still good with the world.

So glad you’re back on the water!

It's a great day when I see an upload here :)

Love your videos Christian! Always great to see you out there.

Thanks for taking us along, Christian.

Thank you Capt. Williams, it was a pleasure to go for another sail with you and Thelonius

My favorite youtuber!!!!

Ahoy, Great video, trying to get on our 1st vessel at 56. Better late than never. 71 Columbia 34. Looking forward to the work and learning with my family out of Channel Islands. But whew the whole slip thing over here is ridiculous. But will make it happen and get out there. Cheers

Wonderfully entertaining episode! Thank you for making my day! 👍

Im always learning from you Thanks for being a great teacher

Very inspirational. Your guidance is always appreciated. Oliver, UK Sails (Marina Del Rey) helped me add reefs to my mainsail.

Always cherish these gems Thank you sir

Always love your videos. Have a great summer!!

Just Thank you!! You give me hope to get in more sailing at a certain age. Cold and rainy here on Cape Cod as the rest of the world is baking.

😮😍 awesome you put out another video i shall definitely watch this i love your sailing adventures 😁😋🥳🥳🥳

I love your videos Christian..”or even someone you barely know…” I had to stop the video until I stopped laughing. Please please please - more videos ….please

Loving it Mr. Williams! Good day to you.

Always makes my day when he comes out with a new one just need 29 more days 😂

Love your videos. Just a little different perspective on sailing. Keep up the good work and stay healthy.

Glad to see you are still out there enjoying life at sea. Keep up the good work. quality video.

Always fun to catch up with you.

Great video. I was just futzing w/ the jib fair leads on a club boat yesterday. Wish it had guides like you put on your Ericson!

great, I was just thinking to mark off my lead marks too, some good advice here, thanks Christian! :-)

Love the head band..."The Sailing Samurai"

Keeping my sailing dreams alive. Sold my sailboat 3 years ago....I usually buy, sail and then sell every 3 years. I may skip this year which will be 4 seasons not sailing. It's easy to make excuses to hold off on buying again. Traveling the USA with the goal to sleep in all the states and visit all the National parks is a good reason for now. Up to 34 states slept in and 33 National Parks visited.

Thanks for the visit! Are we going to Hawaii again? Soon? Love your sailing and philosophy - missed a little jazz this time, but I'm sure we'll make that up soon.

That was the motivation I needed, time to get the pram out of the garage for the season!

Great to see you and hear your voice. I look forward for the treat. Take care, Christian Williams.

Thanks as always you kind man. Nice one.

May I suggest a piece of wire Loom to put on the bow pulpit to protect it from being scratched by the concrete. Easy to put on and won't leave any residue that sometimes even painter tape will leave....or even more aggravating is that most painters tape and other tapes are coming from China and they tear and split when your trying to use it.....buy a section of Loom and reuse it until you lose it.

Hey Christian, let me know if you ever need a deckhand to crank those winches for you. I will listen eagerly to all your stories and anecdotes too. 😊

My Favourite. Happy Days. Steveeasy

Thank you for another great video!

My favorite channel!!!

Thank you, Christian. You, alone, have inspired me to sail!

This is such a treat! Thank you

I need to get out again soon! Not been out since April and you've inspired me. Hatch open and port side gate unlatched gave me twitches though 😆

Did someone tell you the sliding hatch on a sailboat must always be closed for safety? That is nonsense, and whatever sailing school teaches that is a bag of crumbs. The gate should be closed.

I have to say I've copied your blue cushions on my Ericson 25 cb! Although your interior is far more nicer than mine. That dingy is awesome!

I'm glad to see you again

Always great to see another of your videos arrive.

Thank you - your videos are just sailing fun.

I live in the Marina, I always look for you 😂 never find you. Would love to shake your hand! And go sailing with you 😂

I just couldn’t deal with that wheel pilot on my I36. Finally got a linear drive below deck drive unit and not longer put up with the noise. Best wishes.

If i may , you are the real McCoy, sir. Be well.

That dinghy isn't for sailing, it's for looking through. Chief Dan George OK ok. and a little poetic licence.

How many mountains did you climb before you found the right water to shush the autopilot 😅? Great video, we love watching you and listening to your wise words and occasional sailors sarcasm!! Love and best wishes Nick (safe sailing shut your bow hatch!)

Ahhh, wonderful!

That lucky guy got to talk to Christian.

Ha, I love the non-marine ply rudder that does port AND starboard at the same time.

Great video as always. Nice to see another Jersey sailor doing what he loves!

Lessons of Spring.........and Lessons of Life........and Hawaii just over the horizon~! wink wink

Thank you nice video

Another great video, thanks. How did you operate the Furler for the Genoa and maintain the sail tension at same time?

Prop wash aint a big deal - use your dock lines - the bulk head scenario required pushing the bow out with starboard stern line belayed - or use the dingy to get bow out or kedge with anchor - reversing from slip use your ines dont even use prop u til bow put and headed

Really do appreciate your videos! Your boat is an Ericson, no? I have an older Erickson 32 in SF Bay. What's your favorite resource for all the bits? Thanks again for another wonderful video.
