I happened across one of your more recent videos and enjoyed it so much I'm now going to begin at the beginning and watch them all. 😊⛵🐬 ❤ Thanks so much for sharing your journey. Your joy at being off the dock and underway is wonderful.
OMG! Your cute! You are so atypical in a very good way. A breath of fresh air. I personally am getting bored with the current sailing chanels. Nice to see someone real on an adventure.
I do wish u would use a little bit more safety such as a harshness...only due to the fact..that I'm selfish and want you to be safe and make more videos!...HaHaHa
yeah me too - I think solo sailing anytime above deck I would want to be with a life jacket on and clipped in. Any small issue and your overboard and you are done
for sure , respect all round on that ,,, and pulling up the anchor chain by hand,,, i have seen one video where the man could not leave because his electric windlass had broken,, this girl is a star.
I am really enjoying your adventure so far. I am a bit older than you(37), but I have always dreamed of sailing. I bought myself a 1981 Catalina 27. Her name is 'Echo'. I am currently learning to sail. I can not wait until I have the sailing abilities that you do. Good luck on your adventure!
Go Holly ⛵️ Another sub thanks to Art of Hookie. Keep the vids coming, consider Patreon. Wish i’d done what you’re doing, at your age - I’m at the other end of life now and about to do it anyway (Solo at 60) Also love the refit you’ve done, wanted more vids, oh, and thank you for your “sanding is a hand job for a tree” comment 🤣 totally excellent. Fair winds, will keep watching.
Can not believe that I haven't found your channel until now and I'm always looking for sailing and live aboard channels. I'm so impressed that you are a young beautiful woman single handling a boat. You are living my dream and that's why I'm watching this video theme. Looking forward to follow your journey.
I love this girl. She is just awesome. Im 37 and just now getting into sailing. Its going to be my life soon and I cant wait, all i want is to learn to sail and buy a boat. I know alot of people say that but thats all i want and think about.
Stumbled into the latest vids, and am now starting with the first. First thing I noticed was the almost pristine state of the boat and its interior, as compared to 3 years later.😮 'Of things yet to come'. And it's not just the boat that matured. 😏
Love this, Holly, and love you!! So glad that we didn’t see this without knowing that you made it down to the islands 🌴. Be safe, may the winds be gentle and ever at your back ❤️
YOU are AMAZING !!!! What a great adventure you are on !! Wishing you calm seas and unforgettable memories! Thank you for making this film....I thoroughly enjoyed it and am so proud of you for your strength and fortitude and so much more....what a great role model. I can't wait to see what's up next Monday.....stay safe and feel the LOVE.
Finally after subscribing, and watching more recent videos, I caught up with E1! I'm 60 now and refitting my 33' boat for big blue, and heading to the Caribbean in a year or two. I'll leave the boat in the Caribbean and fly back and fore to sail her until I retire in about three years, then full time like you. Not really around the world but around the Caribbean to enjoy retirement. And like you, going solo. Fair winds and stay safe.
Just subscribed today.I will probably binge watch until the latest video. This reminds me of an adventure I took as a young man in Alaska. I brought my knowledge and common sense with me. I'm sure you will too. These things build character and maturity in ourselves and we get the pleasure of bragging rights!! Later on, when we decide to settle down, that right someone (gal for me) comes along. I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that will happen for you too. Now, on to watching.
Geesh, where to begin. I love your openness, your awareness, the spontaneity of your soul. Stay humble dear lady.... your magic is contagious. Many thanks to "the art of hookie" or turning us on to you. Can't wait till your next blog.... Thank you so much!
Inspirational. I have aspirations to do something like this, but learning to sail from zero to this point looks like a long road. Maybe in future videos you could talking about your sailing background and what skills you think are necessary for this kind of trip? Also, if you keep track of your expenses people will be grateful for any insight. Skills and money are the two essentials, and hearing about people doing it in a minimalist way opens door the for others to follow.
To be honest, at first i was thinking : ok, one more who is going to sail down the intra coastal , crossing the gulfstream and stop in the bahamas...BUT ! you kept sailing and sailing ( all caribbean, panama, transpacific...ok, i'm impressed ! you have all my respect for such an epic journey signle handed ! Bravo Miss ! You are a tough girl ! ps : tell the Belgian, that here in Brussels weather sucks as usual, better he keeps sailing Polynesia on your side 😉
I've been wanting to just jump in a sailboat and leave...one problem, I have no idea how to sail, I've never even been sailing before. I just found you on UA-cam, perhaps I'll learn a thing or two 😁
I know the feeling, I have the same dream.. I was sailing a lot as a kid but now I'm older and stuck in an apartment and no funds to sail. But the dream lives.
Awesome videos Holly!! The crew of Contigo is subscribed and we will be watching for more episodes. We are in Grenada until May 6th and will be leaving the boat until September. Any chance we might see you? Maybe we will catch up in Panama. Take care, Ed and Jody
Learned of your adventure from Art of Hookie. I am fascinated and delighted that you are sharing your Quest. Count me in as part of your admirers. I am looking forward to your future posts. Carry On, Carry On!
really fresh air in the sailing channels, the difference its all about you simply looks real as it is, do not change. Congratulations for your video and good sails, have good waves.
Hi young lady. I was in Oriental working on my boat at the same time you left. Really enjoying your videos and have watched all of them thus far. You are making the trip I have always dreamed of! Share all your destinations with us as you travel. We are looking forward to traveling the seven seas with you. Thanks so much for sharing this with us! Jeff and Cindy.
For pulling anchor by myself. I run a line from the tiller up to the bow and bring it back to the tiller in a big loop around the ship. Then set the main. Then start pulking the anchor up. And you can sail in to deeper water and still have control of the vessel. While youre working on the foredeck.
WOW! Rafe off SV 'Felix' in Airlie Beach in Queensland Australia. If you ever get this far, it would be wonderful to meet someone so in touch with the beautiful planet we live on. It is hard to convey, to others, the freedom/ terror to do what you do & you do it beautifully. Thankyou
Just stumbled onto your site! Damn Girl! where did ya get such cojones!? I love your videos with raw emotion and determination. Remember the saying: " there are many old sailors and many bold sailors, but not many old bold sailors". Nevertheless, I'm impressed and will follow you until you reach your goal. Just be careful ! Joe
I just found your channel. Could you do a video on your background and experience in sailing and what you had to do to prepare for this journey? So envious of your trip!!!!
Great narrative and visuals. Good to see you off and wonderful to listen to that old faithful Bukh 10DV. Looking forward to embark on your adventure from the comfort of my armchair ;-)
I love your videos, the way you just let you thoughts flow out without worry is great. It's almost like we're there with you! You talked about not being sure you had everything with you, do you have s list? I don't think I could survive without a list, my brain would break. Can't wait to continue catching up on your adventures! You're awesome!!!
Yes, love true adventure, it will be a pleasure, to sail as mate, and mooring, anchor retrieval, a specialty, Wind Hippies always make great cruising mates. Cheers.
We have clay like mud in our anchorages on the east coast of england. I bought a cheap pair of waterproof trousers and waterproof gloves just for bringing up the anchor becuase as you say it gets everywhere. A bucket of scooped water poured over the front deck gets most of it off. You can have that standing by after you've pulled the anchor and it's really quick just to throw it over. Then once the boat is on the way and on course I slip out of the anchor clothes.
Glad I found your channel. When you are under sail or motoring, solo, you should be harnessed when on deck. I'm looking forward to watching your adventures. You are taking on a very trying task, and I wish you the best. Happy Sails!
@@roderickmchardy3650 It was just a friendly tip. It was not condescending at all. I think she is doing great, and has a good head on her shoulders, but I'd like to see her harnessed when sailing alone. If she stumbles and falls off the boat while under sail it will NOT stop for her. If you were a sailor you would know that. I also think youtubers have followers that try to do what they do, and I would hate to see some other person get killed because they were less skilled and tried to do what she was doing. I think the only armchair warrior here is you.
AAAHHHH! After responding to roderick I looked through the comments and found she is just a troll and I fell for it. Oh well. For the rest of you, don't fall for it. Don't respond to miss mchardy.
@@jaskoller i didnt realise that you knew so much more than she does !! or think that you do ... remind me ,, who is it that is out there doing it,, you or her ? ,, if you watch more of her videos you will see that she does clip in when needed , enjoy your armchair..
Hi Holly......do you clip yourself to your boat while you are moving? If you happen to slip and go overboard you won't be able to swim and catch up to your boat!.......Don't take any chances always hook up at attach yourself to your boat while you are moving! .....there are no second chances!
Love your channel. Just thinking of ways to make sailing a bit safer. Noticed how long it takes you to unstrap dingy attached to a lot of ropes just to get it into the water bellow under normal conditions. Now imagine your miles at sea alone with gale winds & big waves. That simple 20 minute action turns out to last 45 minutes as lines get tangled & panicking situation. I just watched a YT Chanel where it had 2 women sailors caught off guard & their sailboat had capsized at sea then turtled over. They had no access to get to their safety dingy safely strapped to bow of deck during actual emergency. I’d say have one or two dingies. One velcroed to bow & one being pulled a few feet by rope behind your boat. Just a thought- remember the sea doesn’t care if you’re ready or not.
Just subscribed to your channel, came here thanks to Art of Hookie too. Have you considered using a 5 gallon bucket to dump your anchor chain into when you pull anchor, then you could rinse it off once sailing, before dropping it into the anchor locker. Regards Dave.
This is fabulous ! I love the way you wove the tapestry of your early childhood with your adventures of today. You go girl ! You are Rockin' It. No doubt this will be on the big screen some day for all to enjoy. Stay strong, silly and safe ! Love YOU xo
I now have a motor in my boat but I still sail the anchor out when I have the room. I often prefer to do that as I dont have an anchor winch. Its a matter of letting the tiller do its thing, get the main up and let it flap with the sheet free. Walk back to the cockpit. Check ready to go then sheet the main in and cleat when she has swung slightly to one side. The boat should in time bite and start sailing. Walk to the bow and get yourself secure. She will sail to one side until the anchor cable pulls the head to wind when she will tack. The anchor line goes slack for a while and thats when to haul in the surplus and bite it off for the next ride beford the load comes on again. Evenually the anchor will break out and you can haul it in. I have done this for many years but my yacht is a 1920 design that sails very well.
I was just recommended your channel, and I just want to say I think it is remarkable to do what you are doing. Well done to you! I'm excited to catch up on your vids.

Thanks so much for sharing your journey. Your joy at being off the dock and underway is wonderful.
New subscriber. I'm an old dude with many unfilled dreams. Refreshing watching a young lady fulfilling hers.
I’ve just found your channel and going back to watch from the start. I am so happy watching you!
OMG! Your cute! You are so atypical in a very good way. A breath of fresh air. I personally am getting bored with the current sailing chanels. Nice to see someone real on an adventure.
I was thinking the same. Not your usual barbie doll trying to be the prettiest in the prom. Just a brave girl.
@@ImNotADeeJay I so agree
You're such a legend, sail safe and I'll be watching :)
(Please clip on 😅)
That was an impressive climb. When you get to the Bahamas you will have no problem getting coconuts.
I do wish u would use a little bit more safety such as a harshness...only due to the fact..that I'm selfish and want you to be safe and make more videos!...HaHaHa
yeah me too - I think solo sailing anytime above deck I would want to be with a life jacket on and clipped in. Any small issue and your overboard and you are done
I was about to make just this comment when I read this. I hope the word intended was harness.
I was impressed on that climbing skill you did. Awesome, brave, strong woman. 👍
for sure , respect all round on that ,,, and pulling up the anchor chain by hand,,, i have seen one video where the man could not leave because his electric windlass had broken,, this girl is a star.
Must get a brassiere, seems to be essential
You are not a lunatic. You are an awesome intrepid explorer! True sailor!inspiration for all us Dock queens !

You’re never ready to leave. You just leave. And you leave behind people who are never ready to leave but never stop getting ready to leave.

Just saw your last two videos to Fiji and I figured I go back in time and try to catch up. Fantastic content.

Impressive to see you climb that mast. I wish you all the best of luck and a safe sail.

Thanks! I'm sure we'll run into each other! I'm aiming to be in Martinique by June 1st, and Grenada by middle of July. Where are you guys now?

un grand courage , une grande détermination et une valeureuse ascension du mat dont je serais bien incapable
Great footage. You convey the adventure and sensation very well. Good to see a Grinde on high seas in it's proper element
really fresh air in the sailing channels, the difference its all about you
simply looks real as it is, do not change. Congratulations for your video
and good sails, have good waves.
Great job getting up the mast
Holy shit! That's one way to go up a mast! I think you're crazy but I also think you're amazing! Couldn't hit subscribe fast enough.

Excellent
Ok - now THIS is watch worthy . Well done , will be watching .
We have clay like mud in our anchorages on the east coast of england. I bought a cheap pair of waterproof trousers and waterproof gloves just for bringing up the anchor becuase as you say it gets everywhere. A bucket of scooped water poured over the front deck gets most of it off. You can have that standing by after you've pulled the anchor and it's really quick just to throw it over. Then once the boat is on the way and on course I slip out of the anchor clothes.
Glad I found your channel. When you are under sail or motoring, solo, you should be harnessed when on deck. I'm looking forward to watching your adventures. You are taking on a very trying task, and I wish you the best. Happy Sails!

First episode and I am already in love.
I've been to Beaufort. You're so cool! I'm doing my bit, by praying for your safe circumnavigation.
Love your channel.
Just thinking of ways to make sailing a bit safer.
Noticed how long it takes you to unstrap dingy attached to a lot of ropes just to get it into the water bellow under normal conditions.
Now imagine your miles at sea alone with gale winds & big waves. That simple 20 minute action turns out to last 45 minutes as lines get tangled & panicking situation.
I just watched a YT Chanel where it had 2 women sailors caught off guard & their sailboat had capsized at sea then turtled over. They had no access to get to their safety dingy safely strapped to bow of deck during actual emergency.
I’d say have one or two dingies. One velcroed to bow & one being pulled a few feet by rope behind your boat.
Just a thought- remember the sea doesn’t care if you’re ready or not.
A great first episode. Will be watching more.
Wow !!!! Very impressive young BEAUTIFUL lady !!!! Good for you !!! You are awesome !!!! 🇺🇸
Wishing you fair winds and a following sea on your adventure! new sub

Have you considered using a 5 gallon bucket to dump your anchor chain into when you pull anchor, then you could rinse it off once sailing, before dropping it into the anchor locker.

Awsome… Sent over be Art of Hookie and you are awesome.
I now have a motor in my boat but I still sail the anchor out when I have the room. I often prefer to do that as I dont have an anchor winch. Its a matter of letting the tiller do its thing, get the main up and let it flap with the sheet free. Walk back to the cockpit. Check ready to go then sheet the main in and cleat when she has swung slightly to one side. The boat should in time bite and start sailing. Walk to the bow and get yourself secure. She will sail to one side until the anchor cable pulls the head to wind when she will tack. The anchor line goes slack for a while and thats when to haul in the surplus and bite it off for the next ride beford the load comes on again. Evenually the anchor will break out and you can haul it in. I have done this for many years but my yacht is a 1920 design that sails very well.
