Cruising the Tuamotus in Cyclone Season WHSE87

[@colinmiddleton2941]

You amaze me again with your ingenuity on fixing things.

[@bassboy8910]

Also know that there are many who are living through your videos and may never get a chance to do what you do. Thank you for sharing your journey!

Disconnect your radios from the antenna when you have lightning. Even if you don't have a lightning strike, the static in the air can energize your antenna and go down into your radio and play hell with your sensitive chips. Basically it is possible to fry your radio, without a direct strike. Then before you connect the coax, take the center section of the coax and put it to a metal surface to dissipate any static build up.

[@captlarry-3525]

When the strikes are so close you smell the ozone...we all resort to involuntary prayers...

Hi Holly a small tip which will make your potatoes last longer, store your potatoes apart from your onions, onions emit fumes which affect potatoes and make them go soft quicker

[@andreweppink4498]

Wow. Whatta Monsoon. I remember years ago, parked on the ramp at Da Nang on a C - 130 in a similar monsoon. Buckets. So much flow we were getting inflo thru the aileron pushrod seals. Water all over the deck. Had to lower the ramp to get it all out.

[@chriscousins3230]

Hello from southern Maine! I’m so glad I found your channel, you’re living my dream. Take me to the ocean, let me sail the open sea. To breathe the warm and salty air and dream of things to be.

[@mariajosemorenoguerrero8638]

Gracias por tus vídeos. Eres un referente e inspiración para mí. Chica luchadora y adorable. Thanks.

[@andreweppink4498]

Win tippie. Good name.

[@Twelvestonestacking]

You make me laugh so much! Coffee and rice! Oh the stories that you will tell your grandchildren! You will be the coolest grandma in the history of Grandma's!

[@OLDMANTEA]

All the stories you’ll have for your grandkids

[@trotamun2454]

Beautiful, you should sing more often. 🙌

[@gneisenau89]

I really enjoy your videos. Your irrepressible spirit is a balm to the soul.

[@_PJW_]

Typical Dutch weather. I like the smell of ozone in the morning! With all that rain you could have used some showerbags, so you could have some fresh water showers. Or let the dinghy fill up, so you could have a bath or wash clothes.

[@timnoneya811]

ok that hatch poke was absolute cinematic gold!!!!!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Your adventure is so awesome. So much more fun than the "fancy" channels.

[@sailinggreenpearl2571]

Only Holly could make a video "stuck on a boat in the rain" and it still be enjoyable to watch. Nice lightening shots. Enjoyed the guitar bit too. :-) quoting poetry, gosh we are getting rather sophisticated these days arent we :-)

[@WindHippieSailing]

Oh so very sophisticated (extends pinky)

[@slowtony2]

Your magnificent hinge is a thing of beauty. The thought of all those kids in the third grade who knew it was fun to hang out with Holly makes me smile as broadly as you did when the lightning was over. We are all just bigger versions of your third grade friends.

[@lahoozer6694]

Meanwhile the wynn"er"s complaining about rain water and pushing a 1200$ uv filter lmao. You are so awesome; as an inspiring sailor who is a little rough around the edges; Idaho boy, You are a huge inspiration to get off this god forsaken rock. Peace and love; friend. Fair winds

[@fijimarns]

Love your canopy

[@MrLebro11]

WOWw! What a ride that vid was! Packed with suspense. A real adrenaline rush.Seeing those thunderstorms through your eyes was heart pounding. The sound of the rain on the roof & your singing was a wonderful chance to take a breathe.

[@bushtherapy7655]

I so admire what you are doing

[@robertorzech8922]

Wow ! That's a real McGiver repair ! Congrat's on your ingenuity girl !

[@chrisyarnold6205]

You are truly one of the hardest core sailors that i watch. Let's just hope that the recent subsidence in this pandemic is a harbinger for the end of it, as you really shouldn't have to ride out cyclone system in low lying, and reefy Tuomotu's. Good luck for future travels.

[@flyslow2096]

Complaints about swearing? Tough I like the language! It makes you normal and funny and not STUFFY and BORING! I like a person who is not scared to express themselves the way that they want! Keep up the language!

[@tomhartenstine3263]

You must of had a really big head in 3rd grade!! Lol…hat fits u perfectly now!! Ur adorable!!! ❤️…safe travels!!

[@triciamcmillan9846]

I was forced to stop watching when I got to the thunderstorms because my dog began to freak out 🫣. Had to put the headphones on to finish the episode 😂. To be the only boat and the tallest thing around must have been very worrying! I’m glad you’re safe and relieved you’re having some r & r with family. Fair winds.

[@sambissell2658]

That lightning, though: WOW!! 💜💙💜💙💜 And I vote to take your So'wester hat back with you. So stylish in the South Seas.

[@chuckhillier4153]

More good stuff. Good snubber rip. Thanks.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Wow, that thunder clap right overhead (or at least it sounded that way) was scary.

[@_PJW_]

Nah, it wasn't. If you can hear it it didn't hit you.

[@eduardoacosta6199]

Love the idea of using leather to do various fixes on the boat never thought about that. Glad to hear you were up here in Maine !. I am just amazed at how you go without a fridge great idea though so much energy and infrastructure is built to get this one piece of gear to work and there you are making do without it !

[@Thereminator101]

Yummy veggies and that hinge should work fine till the new one. Stay safe Holly...🌧️ No StormAss! 🙄

[@chrisstephens1399]

Your an inspiration Holly , love the southwester! Fair winds good sailing keep up the good work !

[@peterostrom6271]

The rainhat is a must. In Sweden and Finland it's called a "Sydväst" ,pronounced "syydwest", which means south-west literally. It is definite must, if not for anything else then for lifting the spirit onboard. Thank you for a great video once again.

[@tabbycowley5825]

that must be where our word, a sowester (raincoat) comes from, I have learned something x

[@jwulf]

One of my favorite videos yet. I love how cozy it makes me all feel. I would just need Starlink Internet and I would feel perfect.

[@rikko5627]

I'm glad your enjoying the time of your life...👍🤟✌

Yarns is coming back!

[@dieteroberkofler4342]

Scary lightning but cool as always

[@seabrooksummers]

My goodness, my adrenaline was high just watching this video. I’m in 30ft at the marina right now. The winds were blowing at 45 kn two nights ago. I could not sleep because of all the noise.

[@georgepeat5269iearth]

Well done, enjoyed video, including earth light show. Good Health always.

[@bassboy8910]

I am a fan and would love to do what you do. Please be safe and you always seem to know what to do. You have your parents DNA IN YOU!

[@rfdinesen4027]

Yes on the sou'wester! Loved your imitation of the thunder.

[@lifesahobby]

Nice work

[@Kay_Watermelon]

The knowledge that comes with sailing amazes me. I love it.

[@sammayo9970]

If width ok..check plus for hat

[@underthetornado]

Was there hail in that rain??? I loved the thunder impression..lol so friggin funny. Did I here you say..? " who needs an epic pen when you've got this?" I have to replay...you're so funny..putting your electronics in the oven because it acts as a faraday cage... but your phones filming between yawns...I can sooooo relate!😁😁😁🤤🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😎🥰🥰❤!💨💨💨🌪🌪🌪🌨⛈⛈⛈🌩🌩🌩

[@markpearce2510]

Wonderful viewing your adventures Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences with us .Like your story very much...keep safe 🦘🇦🇺🙏❤️⚓️

[@magdakaniewski]

Great video. The lightshow reminded me of one bell of a storm last year. We were sailing the north channel of Georgian bay, great lakes. Small boats, 17 cabin foot...me and my son toughed it out..35 to 40 knots.. our while group made it out alright. The rain was so fierce it felt like bullets on the cabin top. Ah what we do for some fun exploring

[@WindHippieSailing]

That sounds so intense! I always think the boats fare better than the humans in situations like that

[@fishin4bogey]

Those storms kinda remind me of being on top of a crude tank in Wyoming last February. Seven below temp with a steady 30 plus knot wind making it a balmy -38 degrees. But at the core of my sole I want to do what you're doing, so I'm doing what I need to do to achieve that. Just now in West Texas...... You and your videos inspire me, and keep pushing me to do it. Many times I want to give up, but I know that every two weeks, I'll get the boost I need.

[@speteydog2260]

Like the yellow hat. I think you need an adult sized one, a new one. It would be very useful on your boat. It sure does rain a lot at times. The one you have is cute too.

[@robinwells8879]

Fantastic episode. Gripping and fun. Go well!

[@shanep5121]

Thst was a great version of Such Great Heights. I wish you would sing more.

[@Fantic156]

Heheheh, choose the storm you want to moor next to ... ;) Great adventure, been watching for a long while, so happy you're enjoying it!! ;)

[@holodeckdragon8876]

oh yes! bring the hat! when the kettle whistled I jumped up to turn it off and said wait! what?? oh its your kettle. I've been at my houe in the yuctan for 3 months. heading back to Canada in a week. xo

[@WindHippieSailing]

Haha that's amazing! I'm glad my kettle is interdimensional

[@contentforcoaches]

Yay Holly! Amazing sunsets, bravery, and ingenuity! Love your chapeau; I'm sure you know that if you take it to sea, the written sentiments will fade. Maybe you could do a leather mock-up of your hat, copying the signatures? :) You are an inspiration!

[@saxophool]

Spray clear lacquer over it. 😊

[@Josh-e2l]

Put the bottom hinge on the top, put the leather hinge on the bottom 👍

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Profane...complaints??? Apparently those people have never heard the phrase "cuss like a sailor". I tell you what. next time you feel the urge to cuss, play your guitar and sing. You play very well and have a beautiful singing voice. You have amazed us many times with your knowledge but the leather hinge was the icing on the cake. I'm amazed someone your age even knows about leather hinges must less how to make one! Sail on Captain, sail on! 😎⛵ O yes definitely bring your sou wester with you.

[@WindHippieSailing]

Thanks so much! Ok the hat is coming along for the ride. I'll have to do a fashion show next time I'm sailing in the rain

[@shaungillingham4689]

My favourite type of weather, but on a sailing boat? , fu*k you got bigger balls than me, pretty dangerous! Thank God you survived.

[@srmetamorphose]

I love the sou'wester! Definitely take it with you! Your lightning footage is fun to watch from my nice warm, dry living room. Thanks.

[@cruisinglazysunday4224]

Love the hat! Take it and use it. Give it the life it deserves.

[@jamesashworth1975]

I liked your singing. Love Iron and Wine!

[@yardarm5]

Enjoy the land people . Thanks 😊

[@yakekaj]

You should deffo take your lightning hat back with you to the gek...!! Looked like things were a bit too exciting for a bit there!!

[@lisacolbert5987]

I love that you taped the storm ! I know you weren’t psyched to be in it , but it was a treat !

Nice Sou'wester Holly. Now turn it 180 and you're all set eh.

thanks for the tip.

[@ETXChris]

Thanks Holly, I always enjoy your vids.

[@seafuryphil]

I sure love this channel. Keep being fkn awesome !🇨🇦🍻⛵

[@hogfishmaximussailing5208]

Move the bottom hinge to the top, then the saggy leather hinge wont make as much of an impact!

U sing really well ! ❤❤❤

[@rickhunt4487]

What an Amazing lifestyle ! ❤❤❤

[@longtailsgal6119]

Is there an episode where you show your rain-catching device?

Keep the south wester.It's bright colour matches your personality perfectly...

Nice your home to visit. Good video in very wet weather.

[@garyschwabel6053]

Wow wow glad to have stbbled across your channel I am a poor sailer boy just wish there was and I am sure there is a way to share sailing photos with you hope to figure that out as the seal says peace love and hair grease

[@leopoldohernandez4939]

Holly youre amazing,thank you Tish

[@mikefox1332]

If you don't mind a little advice on "the hat ". Save your treasure. Maybe purchase a similar cap. You can get " new friends " to sign it. And having another hat might be a reminder of your childhood friends. Just musing's from an old man. 😁

[@sailingsitka]

Definitely bring that hat back ! That's too salty to be stored on land :)

[@wildandbarefoot]

Wow. Reminds me of SAILING TO FREEDOMs Plucky getting struck and it blowing a hole in his boat. He ended up swimming with sharks to block the hole. You be LUCKY OK? X

[@markuslebt]

25:05 cool hat holly.

[@cheapcigs9772]

All that fresh free drinking water! I loved watching that. The almost sexual "aw fuck yeah" in regards to getting vegetables cracked me up😆👍 I like your improvisation when fixing stuff.

[@saxophool]

I was just thinking that we haven't heard any music in a while. Nice! And nice two finger picking technique. 😎

[@themangymarmots]

What a cozy episode! Wish the Postal Service cover lasted a little longer, though..

If you EQ your audio, it will help more effectively deliver your ideas/thoughts for the viewer (a.k.a. Listener) Thank you for the content!

[@dogshark9]

Definitely take the hat on your voyages. Maybe photograph all the signatures first, as they will probably wear out over time. Love your videos, so inspiring!

[@tatman8240]

Excellent Man

[@williamstreet4304]

I am returning to sailing after many years away. Things that I love about your channel are your ability to do repairs with limited materials, your attitude, and the places you visit on the islands you encounter. I love to share experiences like this with my grandchildren. But sometimes your language keeps me from sharing. I love your experiences.

[@mattmeiners985]

The lightening reminds me of the movie "Castaway"

[@chefandy-f5z]

I did all my sailing in megantic next to Maine, beaucoup lightning and dinghies aren't exactly rolly more like flippy.. I'd love to experience a bit of what you've been doing.

Looks like you need that hat in the tropics.

[@tilongatao]

cool episode, I loved the rain. Carrots might keep better in moist sand, provided they are cool and fresh enough.

[@WindHippieSailing]

Funny enough I had a huge conversation with my sister about keeping carrots in sand. It's a great way to preserve them, but most sailors spend all their energy trying to keep sand OFF their boats. Not to mention that I have no space for a carrot sand box! I definitely spend about half an hour trying to see if it would work though

[@tilongatao]

@@WindHippieSailing Hi I am not cross if it doesn't make sense for you in the boat which might be the case because both sand and humidity are not welcome there. Plus this method is for cellars with five to ten degrees (whatever that might be in fahrenheit), and works fine with potatoes as well. So it might pay off trying it if you are starved for carrots on a passage, but won't if you are not.

[@hthring]

Great video Holly, was that a little number by The Postal Service that you were singing. It was lovely xx
