    Wow is there anything this girl can’t do? She makes it seem like she doesn’t know how to do things which make it even more cute and clever but does everything so well and makes use of absolutely everything she can get her hands on and then makes it into something new. Best sailing show I have ever watched. She is so free just living life and experiencing everything that comes her way to it’s fullest. Just wow! There is something special here for sure

    I used the song "Society" when I did my tiny house video! Love that song! I love your video's Holly brave as you are! My grandfather was a lobsterman in Kittery Point, Maine. He passed many years ago but I clearly remember him saying how he had "respect for the ocean" Your adventures look exciting and at times scary to me but I know you come from a long line of sailors and are about as experienced as someone could be out in the big blue!! Your parents live fairly close to me and maybe one day I'll hire your Dad to do some custom work in my tiny house!!

    Great video and it's incredible you are out there by yourself, very awesome. I believe that lure mimics a mullet and everything loves a mullet. That is a LOT of wire wrapping going on there, but it will keep the toothy creatures from wearing out your wire and loosing your lure. You probably already know, but watch for kinks in the wire that will greatly reduce the strength of the wire. If you find one re-rig. Drying fish is something I've never tried. I really like that idea.

    Save your bloodlines you trim out. Cut into strips about 3/8" thick x about 10" long salt to cure. Put in bag after curing to stay dry.
    Use on your lures to bait attract fish. The strips action will attract the fish. Can use on hooks as bait to catch smaller bait fish to catch bigger ones.
