I'm a father of a 28 year old woman. I'm really proud of her and what she has achieved. I am very proud of you too and you are not even my daughter! Great work. Great attitude. Amazing accomplishment and the videos are great. Simple and direct. Bon Voyage.
There are so many You -Tube channel "sailors" that would struggle with an overnight passage let alone a 41 day one.. You have that special ability to be able to live alone with yourself and also not become shark bait.. :-))Congratulations..
A lot of the new crop of the TH-camrs are happy not going to far away from land. There are many that are all about the T&A and are moderately successful at it.
Trail a 100' floating rope behind you when you are underway if you aren't crazy about hooking in. If you go over just swim quickly across the line and pull yourself aboard. Make sure you attach a couple hand holds (a challenge on a canoe stern, I know, I sailed one for many years), to help get you back into the cockpit. Simple and affective and like so many of your viewers, I want to keep watching you sailing safely around the world.
@16:25 I am not a sailor, but it puckers my butt to see people so near death and not give it a 2nd thought. Just imagine falling in, swimming as fast as you could reaching out, only to watch your life sail ahead without you.
Wow you have one of the most calm/positive attitudes of someone who's risking everything for adventure,crossing the south pacific alone that I've ever seen. The planet needs more awesome people like you to help correct all the issues we will be facing in the future.
Some of us just want to lives lives more free from tempting fate . That's ok.... different strokes for different folks. And before anyone says that's a boring way to live, nope...we all live our lives differently. She is amazing what she's doing alone . Good on her
5:05 sleepy Holly face. Hehe... You’re amazing. I was an Incident Commander for years and the dispatcher finally learned that they had to get me to go upstairs to call them back before I could think. You’re up and solving problems in a squall straight from sleep. You’re a beast! So glad to know that you made it. Cheers, Holly. Well done! You can be very proud of that accomplishment.
I watch your vids randomly most of the time but one thing I know is that you are a hell of a good sailor. Your practical and skilled seamanship, your love of adventure and your ability to manage long periods at sea speak volumes about you. I do hope that somewhere along the line you will write book of your travels, the hardships and mechanical issues you faced, how you repaired or remedied them. It will become an inspiration for anyone but esp for those who have the idea that they want to go down to the sea, in ships. And there is always that upbeat voice and lovely smile. You are amazing!
There isn't a better sailing channel on the internet than yours. Unloading crude in frozen ass Wyoming as I watch this. With Friday's deposit, I finally pay off VISA. Then the car, then debt free. I hope to seriously be looking for a boat by the fall!!!
She should have ads, well, one anyway, easy to skip. Why? TH-cam wants to make money, they make money from ads, they'll be more likely to recommend her videos to people if there's something in it for them. I don't mind ads as long as they're spread out, no more than 1 per 20 minutes.
It's like a crazy clove hitch. I love watching your videos all the way through, cause your mixing practical tips for us sailors as in a teaching class, with your adventures and commentary.
Well done holly. You are my inspiration. Sailing an ocean in such a good spirit in a relatively small sailboat. Have a very good new year. Hope you have a very good time in the Marquesas.
YOU are amazing!! I am among the fathers of daughters who watch this and admire your spirit and grit! This is what we want for our daughters - to be strong women! You are a great example!! Sail on!!
@@authorpowell4285 brave /breɪv/ adjective ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage. So sailing alone, long distances across the open sea qualifies as brave. No need for you to shit another persons accomplishments
double sheetbend then taken via a block to a winch to snug and tighten then seizing wire to stainless then dressed with tape, looks like 7x19 stainless which can be pretty brutal on the leach of the sail and sticky as in picking up other stuff and poking out sprags
@Whats Up? i presume you are joking, but Incas you are not, “land ho” is nautical expression meaning the sighting of land which Holly had just done in this video.
Much appreciated that you make your vids ad-free. I had gotten so frustrated with ads interrupting my YouTubing, especially when not sitting close by to click thru' so... I finally ponied up $11.99/mo to have no ads in any of my YT forevermore. Whew. What a relief! Totally worth it! I don't have TV, so... well, you know.
You are a brave young lady and my heart goes out to you, but I would prefer to see you wear a life line when out on those rolling decks. Stay safe and thanks for sharing, looking forward to the next video.
I have found your channel and I am very much impressed. We (my wife and two daughters) are about to set off on our sailing adventure and my daughters at times have mixed feelings ! The skill of fitting your boat out and solo sailing the globe, will be an inspiration to not only my daughters but to all young girls. Be very proud of yourself..... very proud.
I'm speechless but I'll blabber anyway.you are my hero missy. Thanx for including me in your patient wil!full adventurous blah blah Stay alive! you somehow, got my frickin heart.
Most people spend months or years preparing much bigger boats to make a passage like that. Its just like you wake up on a random wed morning and decide to sail 4000 miles on your 27 footer solo. Lol. You are seriously amazing
Holly , well done ; gutsy effort . Under no circumstance go over the side........ I've 45 years as a commercial master . Fair weather and moderate seas .
You sound like Joan Baez when you're singing and Aubrey Plaza when you're talking. Easily the most entertaining sailing channel on TH-cam. All the best!
I'm 48 years old and have always dreamed of living in the mountains far far way living off the land .but seeing you doing this on your own makes me proud to see you following your dreams stay safe God bless...
dude! move to the mountains! you are 48, not dead! I moved to a little island in the Caribbean when I was 50, and it was the Best thing I ever did! NO REGRETS!
@@culebralor7493 well now it depends on who you are to her she is fulfilling a dream so that's more than most ever do at least she has the balls to go and get her dream and show others it can be done and if your just trying to be rude then you should just keep your comments to your self if you have nothing good to say young fella...
You and your entire family are such incredibly talented sailers, woodworkers, and musicians. My husband and I love watching sailing videos on TH-cam. You and SV Delos are our absolute favorites. You are so amazing, and I am so inspired by all your videos, even though I'm 74 and my husband is 80. He has had sailboats when he was young, so we are really thrilled to watch you. Keep up the great work, stay safe, healthy and happy.
After 20,000 miles myself, I know you make a long passage look easy, as you are such a natural. I think you will encourage many young people to do this, well done. This will be with you for the rest of your life, and you will never be the same again, which of course is a good thing.
New subscriber. You are like our brave astronaut, whose exploits we can cheer on via television. Thanks for enriching our humdrum lives back here on planet Meh.
This is amazing!! What an accomplishment, I want your skills and drive. So encouraging to witness, thank you for all the work of making videos so we can enjoy it too!
i enjoyed watching and thank you for sharing the adventure with me. Enjoyed seeing the sea so close and your knot tieing demonstration and the way you talk.
I have read a few of the recommendations regarding attaching yourself to the boat. All are good BUT. You can't beat being attached to the boat with a short tether. To utilize the 100' method you need good strength to get back to the boat and a pull down boarding ladder. I was at the anchor well, ready to hoist the anchor. placed my weight on the life line and it came loose (circle clip came off the clevis pin !!!. pin fell out!!!!) over I went. If the boat had been under way buy the time I swam to the surface the 100' line would have passed. So be prepared for the unexpected. As my Dad said of his 41 years at sea as a merchant ship Master "There are old sailors, there are bold sailors but there are no old bold sailors.
Warm greetings!!! From the guy who used to make you turmeric lattes at Buzz💙😱haha! utube recommended you and I was like wait...I know her! Hahaha but WOW this is awesome Holly smooth sailing!!💚✨✨✨
Time delayed congratulations! I suppose you've actually been in the Marquesas for weeks if not months. You are amazing. Well done. Thanks for taking me along. I do appreciate the ad free vids, I do, I do, I do, but do what's best for you. I can always skip ads.
Have enjoyed your descriptiveness of your sailing mechanics. I've had a 21 ft swing keel sitting behind the house for a while, and you've taught me enough tackle some shallow water
Hi Holly. Google flemish eye. You can generally use this to fab up some kind of eye in any type of wire rope. Electrical tape will work in lieu of a compression sleeve. Can be a life saver. Happy New Year!
Wow 41 days until you had a coffee , That's harder then the trip . Well done & that last shot of you in your swimsuit was well worth the watch , Just kidding - Fair winds - Enjoy .
I want to learn how to sail, especially how to cross the Pacific and I found your channel. I am just amazed how brave you are to cross the Pacific alone on a 27 footer. Unbelievable! Yours is the best Sailing You Tube channel ever!!! You teach in your videos which really makes it interesting and educational. I try to write down the terms you mention and research what they mean. You are an inspiration to us all! Stay safe! Thank you!
Your channel is my favorite sailing channel. Your down to earth and a real inspiration. Hope your adventures stay safe and entertaining!!! Im disabled and could never get around on a boat, but you take me there and I get to experience sailing. Thank You.
First time viewer...loved your knowledge and drive! Echo those with safety concerns, and liked the guy with the 100 ft of line behind the boat comment! Keep on sailing, keep on vlogging...I will definitely keep watching!
Always have a rope from you to the boat, and a life jacket when on deck. Experience near drowning scuba, be prepared to overcome chocking with the help of life saving equipment. My big reason for being on the water is the calming feeling of sea legs when back on land.
Well done with available kit onboard! part of what I like about blue water sailing, pushes one to come up with solid outside of the box solution when things break or go sideways. Because no matter how well you’ve prepared the boat, something always breaks... A more general hitch with a better no slip holding strength is the icicle hitch. Maybe I’ll see you the water somewhere.
I can’t even imagine doing something like this but if someone said do it for your kids or your missis I’d step up and do it, no question. I’d get on with it. You’re amazing and inspiring.
Note to self. Keep wire rope thimbles and clips in your bag of repair goodies along with a crescent wrench and cutters for wire rigging. Maybe a spool of equivalent gauge wire rope for said repairs. Love the V-log!
My day is complete, yay another video from my favorite real sailing channel (along with adventures of an old sea dog) awesome Holly, you're a bloody legend girl, so inspirational, you need a bigger solar system and a tiller pilot, they'll make your life a bit easier. PS I'm in the process of buying a steel Van De Stadt 34' launched in '13 and will be sailing her solo across the Atlantic in a few months time, also not a fast boat at 8 tons so maybe one day our paths will cross, I sure hope so. You are an amazing, beautiful woman and a very accomplished sailor.
Awesome Holly! What a sail! And yes, we notice and appreciate no ads. In fact I've stopped watching many channels due to all the friggin' ads. You rock!
I'm loving your video thanks. My husband and 3 year old son sailed from Canada to the Marquesas. We made our landfall at Hiva Oa. We then went to Fatu Hiva. We spent a month there. What an incredible place is the Marquesas. We brought lots of clothes to exchange for fruit. We loved the cruising life. You are awakening many memories. Nancy (previously from the good ship Kyora)😊.
I really admire you. Even if I was a boating expert, I could never be alone for such a long time. I would get scared, panicky, depressed and paranoid ... and I am otherwise very stable
Well, YT says now that they're going to start putting ads on whatever videos they feel like, so you might not always be ad-free in the future even if you think you are. But thanks for thinking of our annoyances.
Oh. My. Goodness! French Polynesia, my bucket list dream destination😎😍. I cannot wait for more videos of this gorgeous part of the world! What a brave, strong young woman!🦾
With all your imense knowledge and pos attitude there is still a difference between positive attitude and frivolously endanger yourself. You CAN as everyone fall off. Put on a line. I hope to God nothing ever happens but caution carries wisdom.PLEASE
This is so awesome of you not having adds all the way through your videos I was about to stop watching videos because of it, I will keep watching you and when possible I will send money, your very cool : )
Congratulations on your passage. That’s a great accomplishment you should be proud. And yes we do appreciate no commercials thank you so much. Looking forward to your next video..stay safe
I absolutely noticed that your videos are ad-free. Much much appreciated! Such a turnoff to have useless shit shoved in our faces everywhere we turn. Kudos to you!
You have an absolute amazing attitude and smile that glows brighter than the sun. Your natural beauty is something everyone needs in there lives, I think I could stare at you forever 😊 I look up to you sailing out alone and being such a free spirit and real soul, eehhrrr that sounds weird, hopefully you catch my drift. I would love to do something like this one day! This is the first video I watched of yours and cant wait to see more🤙
Holley you should wear sunscreen i noticed your shoulders and nose is sunburnnt....i worry about you sometimes...and make sure you never let go of something when moving along your boat...no matter how confident you are ..just one wrong move and your swimming to french polenesia
So cool. I'm sitting here very jealous. It takes a unique person to have no roots. It must be amazing to ride the wind and see new places every few days. You are living a dream.

You are so casual for being in a terrifically challenging expedition. You are marvelous
The quickest knot for broken topping lift situation in the future is the sheet bend. Fast failsafe and can be tied one hand. Land ho! Fabulous.

Other girls: "Ugh, my boyfriend ditched me to sing sea shanties with the boys."
Holly: "haha, what do we do with a drunken sailor?"
Put him in the bunk with the Captain's daughter..............................🤩.
I salute your bravery and sense of adventure. Stay safe.
No Spinniker, why don’t we all donate two dollars to buy a Spinniker for wind hippie.
Her Topping lift I would not use as a washing line in my garden in England What chance would she have with a Spanker
She has a patreon where you are support! It’s windhippie on patreon
@@goodandgreen yep.. patreon supporter already, and I would encourage everyone who enjoys her adventurous content to support her!
Check "twistle" rig- dual head sails with loose-footed poles. Perhaps simpler for downwind sailing in this situation...
@@bryansmith1920 you do 41 days solo, tuff guy
I really admire you. Even if I was a boating expert, I could never be alone for such a long time. I would get scared, panicky, depressed and paranoid ... and I am otherwise very stable
Well, YT says now that they're going to start putting ads on whatever videos they feel like, so you might not always be ad-free in the future even if you think you are. But thanks for thinking of our annoyances.
Oh. My. Goodness! French Polynesia, my bucket list dream destination😎😍. I cannot wait for more videos of this gorgeous part of the world! What a brave, strong young woman!🦾
With all your imense knowledge and pos attitude there is still a difference between positive attitude and frivolously endanger yourself. You CAN as everyone fall off. Put on a line. I hope to God nothing ever happens but caution carries wisdom.PLEASE
This is so awesome of you not having adds all the way through your videos I was about to stop watching videos because of it, I will keep watching you and when possible I will send money, your very cool : )
Wow, is this the same trip that left the east coast of the states in 2019? I watched you make it to and around a lot of the caribean. Great job!
Congratulations on your passage. That’s a great accomplishment you should be proud. And yes we do appreciate no commercials thank you so much. Looking forward to your next video..stay safe
I absolutely noticed that your videos are ad-free. Much much appreciated! Such a turnoff to have useless shit shoved in our faces everywhere we turn. Kudos to you!
I would gladly watch any ad to support what this amazing woman is doing. No shade at all, just such an easy way to support Holly.
You have an absolute amazing attitude and smile that glows brighter than the sun. Your natural beauty is something everyone needs in there lives, I think I could stare at you forever 😊 I look up to you sailing out alone and being such a free spirit and real soul, eehhrrr that sounds weird, hopefully you catch my drift. I would love to do something like this one day! This is the first video I watched of yours and cant wait to see more🤙
Holley you should wear sunscreen i noticed your shoulders and nose is sunburnnt....i worry about you sometimes...and make sure you never let go of something when moving along your boat...no matter how confident you are ..just one wrong move and your swimming to french polenesia
As a non sailor, I appreciate your detailed explanations. I also appreciate your ingenuity.
You really is a strong girl on the Ocean
I so look forward to your updates. So glad you made it in yeehaw! Stay safe and rock on!
"Fuck you, I'm a shark!" Love you!!!!
So cool. I'm sitting here very jealous. It takes a unique person to have no roots. It must be amazing to ride the wind and see new places every few days. You are living a dream.
