I meet another solo sailor named Sam Holmes, who also single-handed from California to Hawaii. We sail together on my boat from Oahu to Kuai and talk about our solo crossings along the way. You can watch a video of this journey here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RbsTy0hp9c&amp;t=195s

Chapter 25: Sailing With Sam

I make it to shore after a gnarly last day at sea- I almost get thrown overboard, my headlamps get possessed, I sail way too far downwind, then I sail into a Jimmy Buffet song.

Chapter 24: Land Ho

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/1/2/3/f8f4f9be-eaca-4b07-9752-73f14cac283a_ep_23-i_want_off_this_boat.mp3

I don&#39;t want to be on this boat anymore.

Chapter 23: I Want Off This Boat

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/1/2/3/02dc680a-04bd-487f-b89e-d05cffd45b75_ep_22.2-_blue_fairytale_2.mp3

I have a strange dream, I tell you about other dreams, I contemplate getting closer to shore.

Chapter 22: Blue Fairytale

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/12/31/3/055ca7d1-a2ca-44a8-9276-0451023ca290_ep_21-_a_world_of_strange.mp3

There is no wind, it is hot, I think about what I would be if I lived in the sea... and other things.

Chapter 21: A World of Strange

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/12/30/22/af84dcf2-0571-46ad-8236-50613c2545d9_ep_20-_neon_emeralds.mp3

The sky looks like Egypt and I get hypnotized by phosphorescence and hallucinate a lot of voices

Chapter 20: Neon Emeralds

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/12/30/20/91f180c4-acae-46ec-afc8-5375644fa490_ep_19-_the_carriers_of_grey_clouds.mp3

I spill all of my darkest secrets to the squalls.

Chapter 19: The Carriers of Grey Clouds

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/12/29/23/23e06f3f-9cdd-4145-a488-1d4718d89e72_ep_18-_a_day_without_wind.mp3

The wind is dead, I think back on a psychedelic trip, and why I dig religion.

Chapter 18: A Day Without Wind

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/12/29/22/0ba73957-fd7e-4da4-b8e1-b0977f620dba_ep_17-_the_nitty_gritty-.mp3

I talk to you about daily life on the boat, safety gear, and reference books!

Chapter 17: The Nitty Gritty

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/12/27/6/bd0dc2b7-412a-4352-9d48-89499c7855bd_ep_16-_wild_wild_blue.mp3

The waves are wild wild blue and I try to remember human voices.

Chapter 16: Wild Wild Blue

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/12/26/23/213940f9-c50f-44da-a302-3c42e632c578_ep_15-_floating_on.mp3

Someone writes a comment that I don&#39;t know what I am doing at sea and need to turn around. This episode is in response to that, plus I gain a bird friend and learn some big lessons.

Chapter 15: Floating On

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/9/27/12/1f6b0f02-4529-4f1d-b728-7c37351ff48d_ep_14-_message_in_a_bottle.mp3

I write a message for a bottle to be sent to any stranger that the sea chooses.

Chapter 14: Message in a Bottle

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/9/27/12/7638343b-61f9-4a49-baae-4ce05c5016d9_ep_13-_spirit_in_the_sky-.mp3

I get philosophical about the spirit and gain a deeper understanding of why it is I set out to sea.

Chapter 13: Spirit In The Sky

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/9/6/4/77e13574-b877-4f53-9627-901366d547e3_ep_12-_surfing_the_deep_blue_sea.mp3

Juniper and I fly fast down big waves.

Chapter 12: Surfing The Deep Blue Sea

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/9/6/4/3fcceff0-fca7-46b6-87f2-fd376ec4de66_ep_11-_dolphin_dance.mp3

I get serenaded by the psychedelic song of dolphins

Chapter 11: Dolphin Dance

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/9/6/4/e2f2c293-131f-4180-b17c-e47d761f5a3b_ep_10-_engine_blues-.mp3

My engine bites the dust and I try to fix it.

Chapter 10: Engine Blues

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/9/6/4/b27b6da8-7240-41e2-bf33-caa30d9991e8_ep_9-_prophetic_whispers-.mp3

Either my boat is getting haunted, or I am going crazy.

Chapter 9: Prophetic Whispers

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/8/8/21/a02b34e1-943b-463a-8192-3a12580d3baf_ep_8-_sex_in_the_sea-.mp3

I think about how kinky the fish are getting beneath me. Perhaps I am lonely.

Chapter 8: Sex in the Sea

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/8/8/21/e1ea348d-da59-4b97-9dac-6acacc72f0b5_ep_7-_a_gentle_breeze.mp3

Chapter 7: A Gentle Breeze

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/8/8/21/29eb9fec-04ec-4de5-b987-79d7dca2eea0_ep_6-_the_strangness_of_solitude.mp3

I get all philosophical about the sea.

Chapter 6: The Strangeness of Solitude
