[@fredgill6428]

Most articulate video very well spoken you seem like a young journeymen I'm a first class structual welder I actually just left seward I was there for two months incredible experience im new to your Chanel its refreshing and liberating to see u I've welded tug boats submarines aircraft carriers from Norfolk naval to Seattle I'm in awww of what u do can't turn my face away

[@arekkaniewski4442]

Pickle juice..hhaha if you have too much rum, pickle juice is the cure. Great video

[@chuckm.5032]

OMG! (those lines of coffee had me rolling and when i saw the Aluminum foil teeth THAT was hysterical!!) Awesome segment!

[@riverrat4631]

Damn girl.. you are becoming one of my favorite sailing channels. You are wise beyond your years.

[@gatorforlifecallygator1173]

Keep doing what you are doing! I am so jealous that I did not follow your footsteps when I was younger. Never let someone tell you what career path to take...follow your dreams!

[@24hourtravellers]

Brave Brave Brave to be doing this alone 💚 💪💪💪 so much respect.

[@chipw4622]

You've once again, made an old man smile. Thanks gal.

[@WindHippieSailing]

Yay :)

[@stephenfleming7918]

One brave hippie doing these single-handed crossings. I love seeing this.

[@cainjad9434]

You prolly dont care but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all the new movies on Instaflixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend lately =)

[@jaspersaint8495]

@Cain Jad Yup, have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :)

[@harpomorris1909]

It seems that you are just glowing with happiness, relaxed and a deep down feeling of doing what you love, great to see you thriving!

[@larryboles629]

Sorting pepper ? Vodka shots ? Pickle juice ? A happy dance to King Neptune ? Dam Holly I thought I was the only one upholding traditions of the sea. You go Ms. Awesome !!

[@dennismoroney]

Yes, you are awesome. Your parents values are glued all over your current self, which will and is evolving, but is rooted, and grounded in solid fundamental and experiential reality. That is good, imho. But what is so great , is that you are really such a wonderful free spirit, happy in your own skin kind of person. You really are quite amazing, and I am thankful for the opportunity to see inside your world, just a little bit. It is good that you are willing to share. Sending love.

[@rollinrock6696]

Haha..doing lines of coffee ..you’re hilarious! Xx

[@JB-hj7dm]

Not anything close to an airhead. ;) Rather an intelligent, accomplished, resourceful person. Enjoy your channel so much.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Thank you Captain Holly for letting us come along with you on this very special journey in your life...sail on Captain sail on! ⛵😊👍

[@codyjones1098]

I probably dont have any rituals before I leave port! then it began, I laughed out loud. OMG , LUV IT! ROCK ON with your fascinating LIFE "RITUALS"! LMAO.. ty

[@The_Life_Shoequatic]

Hey! I really enjoyed this. This was the best narration of a solo overnight sail I have seen. That is much appreciated. Thank You! I hope the Patreon becomes viral and you take this girl across the Pacific.

[@gerhoublon7848]

...your parent must be so proud _ they raised such an awesome being_ that can relate well with so much _so generously . thank you 🎼🎶🙏...

[@shakyhandpictures2185]

ger houblon I almost typed the same thing

[@TheTishh]

WOW! I see you have had over 803000 views for all of your videos now, You get em girl. Keep at it, what you are doing is awesome :)

[@WindHippieSailing]

Thanks!

[@Jase-so2tm]

@@WindHippieSailing what advice would u have for someone who has never sailed and would love to do what u do?

[@moejaime2654]

Darling you are not an air head ; you are an amazing woman doing something that most people dream about ! I just wish I could help you out but I am disabled and live off my social security check .

[@Hughes225]

The montage was super funny!

[@ascott6804]

3:00! Haaa haa!! Other channels so damn serious! The pre-game.... Haa haa haha !!

[@graplingurty]

I liked the part of sailing safely with Granddads harness. Hahaha yup you are 100% sailor. I had a Saint Nicholas Medallion I had to be wearing before going to sea...

[@WindHippieSailing]

Those little tokens always feel more special when you're out at sea

[@niborselrahc4651]

You're hitting it out of the park. Great video. By the way , there is a guy on youtube called Simon Carter. He has a way for people to "shout him a beer" using paypal. I have given him several and If you get the same set up I will "shout you a beer" or whatever you want shouted. I just cannot do the monthly thing. I think you could pick up quite a few beers this way. Just a suggestion. Also, I just love your energy. It's infectious.

[@WindHippieSailing]

Thanks! I'll see if I can figure out the PayPal thing 👵🏼

[@jonathanjones5282]

As a non sailor I really enjoy your videos. Your knowledge is amazing and you are a inspiration to all,be safe and thanks.

[@todmills]

Your boat may or may not respond similarly, but when I weigh anchor on my boat, I frequently will first hoist the main, sheet it in tight, and leave the helm free. The boat slowly self-tacks, staying in a small area and periodically relieving tension on the anchor rode. This allows me to weigh anchor pretty easily. After the anchor is taken care of, I return to the cockpit and hoist the jib (timing so I end up on the desired tack). My main halyard is at the mast, while the jib halyard is led aft along with a jib downhaul.

[@roscotakeson1128]

hahaha, I loved the ritual segment. Part one was great. Looking forward to part 2

[@pojucanpaulucci9052]

You are a brave woman. You have my respect. Fair winds. And Congratulation from Brazil.

[@AthelstanEngland]

"... a cheese pastry and... another cheese pastry" made me laugh out loud not sure why!!

[@AA-ve4vn]

Thank you Holly, as a beginning sailor I get so much information from your videos. I think you’re wonderful...and very pretty too!

[@davesummers4082]

Hey, been following your progress for a while and loving what you share, from here in the UK. You’ve become an inspiration for my daughter - she’s 10 - who thinks you’re seriously cool! I’m a sea kayaking instructor and the ‘speed bump’ thing is not good. There are many problems on both ‘sides’ and we need to learn if we want to improve. Your comment doesn’t help. Anyway - keep floating (kayak blessing 🙂) and keep sharing. Take care, Dave

[@WindHippieSailing]

Hey Dave! I'm so glad that I'm an inspiration for your daughter! We need more women on the sea. The sea kayak comment was a joke. I always give way to anything smaller than me on the water, and I have a ton of respect for every type of water sport. No offense meant!

[@AMorgan57]

speed bumps up ahead in the water, aka sea kayakers .. funny :)

[@the.wild.diaries]

I found you videos a couple of months ago. The great thing is, there’s such a back catalogue of videos now that I can watch from the beginning and still have loads of videos to get to yet. Thanks for making them I’ve enjoyed watching your vlogs 😊

[@thomaskempeneers1236]

Hi Holly, thanks for bringing us allong for this ! This is the cutest chanel on youtube for sure !

[@jamescolvin575]

After finding you, I decided to go back and watch all your videos from the beginning. You are an inspiration. For such a young person, you have lifetimes of experience. Makes me realize how I've wasted my life to be honest. Also, you're beautiful in every way.

[@charlieford5523]

I like to see how other single handlers manage that tricky part of up anchor and getting away single handed.

[@dannyboyspace]

Now that is a great sailing video! Well done!

[@WindHippieSailing]

Thanks!!

[@thomaskempeneers1236]

oh Loved the dry humor part of everyones opionions on the jacklines... thats really cool..... :D

[@bunyipdan]

Thanks for sharing, single handed sailing, in exotic places, wonderful to see your unique take on the adventure, cheers

[@jaimepaiva8847]

what an awesome channel! the prep part with the coffee lines on the table was 😂😂 keep going!

[@allanhaggett]

LMAO @2:45 - your comic, night before ritual sequence. Great video.

[@enriquelaroche5370]

One thing I notice which is of great concern. No life jacket or inflatable vest. NO static line or harness. you go over the side you are done. You can fall off in the daytime .

[@enriquelaroche5370]

@vibratingstring well in warm water when you watch your boat sail away without you, you may have hours more to think about it

[@Hissmannen]

A fantastic inspiration as usual :-) I’m impressed with your skills!

[@justinstubbs5922]

You, my dear, are my new hero! Thank you for the peak into your Zen space.

[@soraya4890]

Omg i respect you so much for sailing alone around the world..i was wondering how you do it alone..thanks for sharing.. this video was a realistic look on how you sail alone. Loved it

[@Sailspirit99]

Thanks for the laugh with your pre sea rituals, 😂 coffee lines and the headstand with fins on. Hilarious. Like you I only truly feel at one with the universe when out sailing on the open ocean. Mondays are now so much better thanks to your vids. ⛵️ Fair winds

[@WindHippieSailing]

Yes there's nothing like just being a blob in the ocean to put things into lovely perspective!

[@grahammewburn]

Wind hippie is clearly Born to Sail. Cheers Gray

[@ramabamaboomboom]

The grill cracked me UP

[@stevelawrie9115]

I'm reverse watching a lot of these videos and enjoying them :)

[@HM-vo1jf]

This is by far the best sailing video I've ever seen!!!!...and I'm sub'd to about 20 sailing tubers. Real, gritty, honest, humble and so uplifting for down to earth sailors, most of us don't have 100k for a fancy boat. Skills 🖖🧘

[@tomwilliams8675]

I don't know how you do it. You're one tough young lady. A thousand 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Safe travels from your friend in Syracuse New York 😊

That's what I call bowline knot technique! Done that one a few times, have you? 😁

Genuine and inspirational to watch. Safe travels in your adventures

[@mhansl]

New to the voyage. Your sense of humor is amazing. Your chill style, particularly how you describe sailing and passage making, is refreshing.

[@samdemello6103]

Holly i wanted to make comments about the ritual before going to sea.. The funny thing you did in the video is like what is done when crossing the Equator with King Neptune on deck !!! Lol !!! Arrrr!

[@samdemello6103]

Shellback , means your an experience trusted sailor, and no longer a LANDLUBBER !!! WHAOO !!!! ARRRR !!!

[@clintharman3828]

You made me laugh out loud and taught me many things, so thank you!

I like what you are doing! And you are very likeable! I'm quite impressed as to how labor intensive the sailing journey really is!. Thank you for bringing us into your private and solemn space.

[@battlecrab100]

I really enjoyed the step by step of your sail. You are doing great. Take Care and Fair Winds.

An autopilot really helped me get my sails up while by myself. And pulling anchor

Holly you make very nice videos. You are good at capturing reality and your innocence. Keep up the good work.

[@somadevo]

You are loved, Holly and greatly appreciated for being so authentic in your sailing life which is also my favorite way of life on this planet, but have had to surrender it as somehow I managed to have too many birthdays. Thanks for the added beauty you bring to life. Infinite Loving Blessings

[@sonnylange3051]

Good Passage Planning. It is so enjoyable to have a successful sail.

[@jasonmckenzie380]

Super impressed by your knowledge and confidence in sailing techniques!! Very nice1

[@2bitrasputin793]

Awesome. I am glad to see the harness. It makes me nervous to see you sailing without even a lifejacket on. (especially when you have the self-steering going on.) (It WOULD be "bad publicity", if you fell off.)

[@briancliffordsteele188]

Hi holly, great fun to watch. love the coffee lines ha ha ha .

[@TydalWind]

You said @ 6:44 "speed bumps, we call them sea kayakers, but we know what they really are"... Please Explain!! What are they 'really'?

[@heqqmela]

yeah, i'm curious too. I tried googling but could'nt figure it out. Anybody?

[@johncollandrasr8801]

Fair winds Holly! From Jacksonville Florida!

[@thatguy2408]

Just discovered you. Enjoying the ride. And DAMMIT!!! You got me with that yawn! Curses!

[@danlarsen3840]

Really enjoy your personality, perspective and general consciousness. If you have any woodworking projects/products you need made for your boat/life I would be very happy to help you with your journey.

Thanks! :)

You need a first mate for longer naps. Night watch sucks unless there is a full moon but every twenty minutes waking up I don't know how you manage. Play safe.
