E63: Does Your Chain Hang Low? Cargo Ships & Projects in Paradise

If the gentleman thinks that Wind Hippie taking a shackle off an anchor is hard core, maybe he should watch the topping lift episode...

[@WEOWNTHESKIES]

I like how he stays in the background and doesn't get in the view too much, but he's still around. doesn't seem like he's hobbled by ego like most people.

Hi Captain Holly! I love how the fish grab the barnacles as fast as you scrape them off. It's always good to see Jarne who appears to be a great helper. You two enjoy yourselves and take care of each other...sail on, captain sail on!😊👍👍⛵

[@WindHippieSailing]

Hello Mr. Mark! Thank you thank you! It's always nice to be able to give the fish a snack!

Holly, I start the video on the Patreon page but finish it on KZbin since I want to make certain the "Like" gets counted. It is my understanding that for someone attempting to make a living the "Like"s are critically important.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I want to gift you a quad-box ratchet set. You get four sizes on each wrench so you can get a full compliment kit with very little weight. Is your boat primarily metric or standard? Also anti-seize on all bolts before reassembly helps with reducing corrosion and finding frozen bolts the next time.

[@1972xlh]

Do you have Instagram? Might try contacting her there

[@nealbirch9462]

Anti-seize or lanolin to lube the fittings... lanolin might be easier to get closer to New Zealand.

[@WindHippieSailing]

That's so nice!

[@budroberts5929]

Oh, my, yes, use proper wrenches. Sure, have an adjustable wrench aboard but I hope you have a set of sockets with ratchet, also "box"-end / open-end (circular, actually), easier to use, faster. Adjustables round off bolt heads, too.

[@budroberts5929]

Loctite Thread Lock BLUE 242, put on threads, prevents corrosion and loosening but you can still turn with a wrench. Comes in small tube. (Do NOT get permanent Red #271). loctiteproducts.com

I've just stumbled upon your channel while searching for videos of Pacific crossings. I'm so happy I've found it. And I must thank you for not doing any clickbaity bullshit like most other channels do. French Polynesia is a place I dream about going as well. So glad you've made it there, and thank you for sharing the journey!

[@murraystevens9438]

Holly - good choice on the Victron controller...I have a 100/15 on my diy LiFePo pack I use truck camping. Connects easily to Bluetooth. Real nice to be able to monitor with the phone app.

Hi Crew,, Another cool vid from our champion mega trendy gutsy little Wind Hippie. Great that your safe and, and enjoying new sights with new friends ,how exciting .. Just watching the the ship unload the supplies sure brings back memories of time spent in the islands . Generally,,, the native islanders are so friendly , although they have very little ,they will share it with you .. Ive often thought a simple life is its own reward .. Stay safe at sea ,, you lucky little Wind Hippie... Respect from Down Under

such a shock to see clear water even at the dock here you cant see 6inches into the water and at 8 inches there is an alligator waiting to take your limb off georgetown sc

€560 for a 130W panel set is insanely expensive! I pay $1/W max and get good panels.

Hi, Holly, one difference you have from the main star on the television series Kung Fu is, the main star on Kung Fu wanders on land, but you wander on water.

[@williamwest5827]

I have a hull paint suggestion for you that worked fantastic for me. In the North East, quite a few of the commercial fisherman were bottom painting their boats with a good latex based paint mixed with cayenne pepper. One, it’s much better for the environment. Two, it’s very inexpensive compared to the advertised super duper bottom paints. Three, it works and according to my observations much better then store bought bottom paint. I never found out the mix ratio, I just added the cayenne pepper until it was less then a paste that a brush could handle. Try a test area and you will be more then pleased with the results.

[@WindHippieSailing]

Sounds interesting! Until you get gourmet fish that seek you out for that unique spicy paint 🤪

[@jonnorousseau3096]

Holly, what you need is an 8 ton corten steel 34' .......the bommies will move for you😂😂😂😂😂 See you out there some day, (British racing green chined Stadt 34 Spirit of Grace) PPS please tell me I'm onto a good thing here, I am taking tig welding equipment with me on my boat when I leave SA in December so will be able to do stainless welding from my boat using an inverter and generator, I need to make money while cruising so being a coded welder and fabricator on a steel boat it just seems logical???

[@WindHippieSailing]

Haha "the bommies will move for you" sounds like you have it all figured out! It's nice to be able to make money along the way

[@stephenkillick5812]

I have solar panels for my home in SA and they are German panels, as apparently they are more reliable than the slightly cheaper US panels or the way cheaper South African panels. 4 panels gives enough power (240 volt) to run a flat - great in a loadshedding incident - that happens all too often when the main grid is off line! However, I do use the power grid to power my aircon and the geyser for hot water. I do know of people who are entirely off the national grid but they use a lot more panels than I need.

[@cosmowerkstapes]

nickel-iron batteries would be nice if you could get them. saw an old wreck on another youtube channel, in martinique, busted up pretty bad and listing to the side, but it had a bunch of salvageable solar panels on it.

[@charlesholt8773]

Hi Holly! I am impressed with the progress of your voyage and your ability in managing to keep the attrition on your boat at a minimum. Working on your boat in exotic locales seems to be one of your superpowers. Well Done! Also, what is the name of the map application you used for locating bomies? I will be heading your way in about a year or less.

Add a swivel at your anchor to keep it from tangling in the future

[@paulb5907]

11.05 that shackle was seized almost solid , why not apply grease to the thread before tightening it , any grease will do , then it will not rust and seize up , even better buy some cheap " copper slip " or anti seize compound , these are cheap and easy to get hold of but worth having on board , take it easy stay safe

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Have you thought about putting a anchor swivel on your anchor so the chain doesnt twist?

[@cwo8771]

Cool flat fish at the end. I’ve been jumping around a bit in the videos. Can’t recall seeing it. Was wondering, do you spearfish?

[@IanB22]

great video

[@pdutube]

Great video Holly, Jarne! My attention was drawn to the symbol on the bow of the supply ship at 3:56. A quick glance made me think of the International symbol for ionizing radiation (which is similar) but I knew that couldn't be the case. I guess it must be a bow-thruster warning symbol? I googled that and I couldn't find a consistent symbology. I suppose most people know not to dive around the hull of a large ship :-)

[@WindHippieSailing]

Haha and yes it's the bow thruster symbol. That way the tugs know which bit of the ship to avoid when they come alonside

This glorious subtext romance is about 37.32% the reason why I watch these videos at this point, to be honest. Mainly still just holly and her exploits, though.

[@pdutube]

Holly's on a romantic endeavor at the heart of it. I mean, following the dream to cross the horizon into places unknown but imagined and dreamt of. It must be awesome for her to find a kindred spirit out there on her adventure, amongst the thousands of miles of solitude! Oh man, I sometimes wish I was her age again but I was never into this stuff when I was young. I grew up around water but the sea terrified me! My adventures were on land and in the air Now I'm older and I forget what I was so anxious about. The sea is as scary as any other part of life, it's just less forgiving.
