herman's hermits sea cruise

Awesome video, thanks! I live in Morton bay, have watched your videos since the beginning and would love to sail away up the QLD coast soon. New farm is the trendy area where house prices have skyrocketed recently I’ve never explored there but it looks nice. How big is your water tank? Do you think it is big enough for your needs or would you change it if you built it again?

I admire people like you!

She is beautiful.

Have you ever cross Mediterranean sea?

⛵ ❤

This is what being a man is. Push through the hardships, fight and don't give up until the end!

These are good feet on the ground (ocean) reminders. I was surprised that you didn't put standing rigging up there with new sales and vane. You're right of course. Everyone likes the idea of a watermaker and shedloads of solar and batteries.

Amazing and inspirational journey.

Look at what the fellahs went through on the tall ships....true heroes with respect to you.

Freest way to travel No 'let me see your passport'

wao😮 what's time?

Did you take a drone on your trip?

It's so loud there in Hamilton because of Kingsford Smith drive and the Gateway motorway running through there! Cheers guy's.

Love your ending message dude! Passing on to my family - I preach hard work over talent (or smarts or money, etc) to my 5 and 3 year old who are much more privileged than I was. To me what you are saying embodies the message I want to deliver to my children - thanks! 😃

Great story! Congratulations.

he looks a lot happier at the end of the trip, than at the beginning of it. there has been some healing going on during that 2,300 nm passage.

Well done dude!

What and experience, hope one day i could live life like this for a moment !!

Awesome man. Thanks for sharing

Love that kiwi chick ❤

Ibis in Australia are called Bin Chickens 😂 you will see them everywhere in Queensland. Enjoy your travels.

Mate, a million bullshit artists on YT sitting in hired supercars, fake aircraft and spouting shallow platitudes. And then there is you, and maybe a handful like you, that didn’t have a dad with an emerald mine or mum was the MD of a Fortune 500 but you genuinely created your future with courage. Vale, you are a modern day inspiration and hero.

🫡💯🫶🏽🍀

You sir are truly LIVING a life... Never seen anything more inspiring... Respect

Extremely impressive

Ever since I was a young boy I've always wanted to do this, I just never got around to learning how to sail. Now I'm middle aged, out of shape and have kids, not complaining just saying that doing something like this is a lot easier when you're young. It's cliche but if your a young person who wants to tackle something like this then go do it, tomorrow never comes.

How do you pay for gas parking service to the boat

Really happy for you, mate.

You're definitely CIA. #Cointelpro

Purchase price 2400 but the repais cost half a million :)

Thanks for the video, very informative but I’m a bit confused why did you need the drogue in the first place if you had a wind vane that has its own rudder? I’m actually thinking of getting the Hydrovane for self steering but also for extra security in case something happens to my rudder, but now watching this video I’m not sure anymore if having just the Hydrovane s enough or do I need a drogue too? What if I only have a drogue, will I be able to steer?

Can I join you? 😭😭

James - for the 2nd time I've just finished watching this video. I am already a big fan of Holly's - but it's so cool that I picked up on different things the 2nd time around. She's a real joy, isn't she? When I come back, I'm going to be HER! Good job done, James -Darcee

Did you enjoy the under surface wave from the ferries ? I went up the the Botanic Gardens pontoons down river side early last year but got knocked around. Ended up at Northshore Riverside beyond the ferries.

I wish I am brave enough to tackle such feat. Congrats to you.

Thanks James, enjoyed this series. A "dream" becomes a "plan" when you start taking small logical steps towards it :) Really appreciated your insights and the options you present.

how do you afford to spend time away from a job for extended periods? do you pick up random jobs in places like new zealand where you were for a year?

Amazing mate!!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!❤

My man !!! You've got Balls of Steel!!! God bless Stay Safe ❤

Great Successful Dream

Silly question, but do you have to "check in" with immigration when you dock?

That's really scary. Many years ago, my friend Chris and myself went night fishing on Dungeness beach in Kent, UK. There was a gale force wind building. That beach is a steep shingle bank where the waves break close to the shore and generate a massive undertow. I cast my line, parked my rod about 20 yards from the shore and started to retreat safe distance back up the bank. The next thing I recall was bing hit by a freak wave and being in the water, The undertow dragged me along the shingle for some distance before I popped up about 40 yards offshore. I really had no idea where I was, which way the beach was, or indeed, which way was up. The wind was pushing me back towards the shore and I caught sight of Chris's Tilley lamp which he was waving in an attempt to see me. As I got close to the beach a breaker caught me and threw me onto the shingle, only to drag me back in and under again. I was like being in an ice-cold washing machine. Yet again, after surfacing offshore I was swept back and rolled over. On the third cycle, a wave threw me far enough onto the beach for Chris to grab my arm and drag me to safety. I was practically naked having lost my jeans, underwear and jacket. Once I was safely ashore, Chris gave me his coat and ran for help in the seaside pub which was a short distance up the beach. Although it was about 3am. the landlord helped retrieve me, called an ambulance and set me up with dry clothes and a blanket. That night, skill or experience didn't save me. The sea just decided it didn't want me.

Wow so inspiring. Your comments at the end really hit home. We lost everything a few years back. It's been a struggle just to survive. But it's time to live the dream. Thank you

Nice job Mate!!

Another nice vid. I thought Rhonda was going into the water there for a second when she jumped in the dinghy after shopping!😅 Glad she didn't.

Must be a real comfort to know there are ppl on land who love and care about you, even if it means YOU'RE worrying that THEY'RE worrying! What is the etiquette for paying them back? -Darcee

Thanks!

Go figure my top two favorites I'm hooked on their sailing trips!
