My name is James and I am slowly circumnavigating this big beautiful world onboard my vintage 1965 Alberg 30 Sloop, SV Triteia. Since departing Los Angeles in 2021 I have made my way through the Hawaiian Islands, French Polynesia, American Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand across the Tasman Sea, up the east coast of Australia.
