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&t=195s

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.

I don't want to be on this boat anymore.

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

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

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

I spill all of my darkest secrets to the squalls.

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

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

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

Someone writes a comment that I don'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.

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

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

Juniper and I fly fast down big waves.

I get serenaded by the psychedelic song of dolphins

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

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

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

The wind escapes me.

I get all philosophical about the sea.
