Freediving to Make Our Own Mooring

[@nerdvana2]

Thanks for a fun video, Holly. I notice that some of your clips have very low audio levels, and there's a pretty easy fix for that. Not sure what editing software you're using, but most apps have a feature called "normalize audio" or "normalize peak audio to x db". Something like that. You can use this feature to automagically even out the volume in your clips. Normalize to something like -1db on all your clips, and they'll all be at maximum volume without distorting at our end. They'll also be pretty even across all your videos, when they're played back. Fair winds...

[@larrypinter3321]

Unless you look toward, and speak directly into, camera microphones from close range, the audio is sub par. Inbuilt microphones generally are of poor quality to begin with. If the camera is some distance away you need to clip on yourself a good quality microphone wired to the camera or connected via Bluetooth or wifi. The sound will then be crisp and not appear muted or muffled.

FYI for stings and bites make a paste from ammonia and baking soda to draw out the poison from the bite or sting... Works great... ... Peace ✌️🕊️ out n stay safe... Sail on... PS I always have trouble leaving my boat unattended during a storm as I am the unfailing automatic repair and disaster preventer... They say a Captain goes down with the ship n I am prepared for that even with scuba gear ...lol

[@justme.9711]

WOW!!!!! What a find that anchor is. I think you will be entered into local folklore for finding and marking it.

[@seanmurphy1348]

The reason I watch is bc you have balls. I was in the USCG and I don’t think that I would solo the globe in that bathtub

[@seanmurphy1348]

@@cheapcigs9772 I don’t see you doing it

[@captlarry-3525]

You might want to consider an adjustable pitch prop, or changing the pitch of your existing prop, or a different prop to achieve more speed when you need it. Having the grunt of prop like the one you have now.. is great for towing or backing down on your anchor to set it.. or free it, so the adjustable option can make sense. You are good at scrounging used gear.. so....

I really enjoyed this, thank you!

[@johncampbell388]

Thank you Holly for another wonderful escape from my landlocked world!

[@ditlee6071]

My first post, I must comment on how nice it was to see at least just a touch of the local vibe.. So often we travel and only connect with fellow travellers, it's great to experience these places with you, Thank You for sharing!!

[@travelingtimothy]

Well you are having a lovely time of it and that is what it is all about!

[@JojoFootloose]

Few beers n wind hippie sailing is the shit:)

[@tropicalsailor2908]

You are awesome, and your videos just keep getting better. As a sailor, I see a lot of bad choices by young sailors on KZbin. Not only are you entertaining, but you seem wise for a young woman; thank you. S/V Malaika

are you wearing a harness up there?

[@shfr1747]

Hi Holly! Look forward to your vids, Thnx for taking us along! Kiwi Sam

[@hwntwww]

careful with that hole- its cave diving and therefore dangerous. Otherwise, the usual charming slacker is also versatile and practical. (Please tie on when you go up a mast)

[@Bikerbob59]

Good times love when your videos come out. Live your life kid.

[@Pauly__D]

Cool video and thanks for not shoving your junk in my face . LOL . YT ads are getting to be a little much and thats not to mention product sponsorships . It's like AD inception on here these days . An AD within an AD with in an AD with in........Good on you for being able to put your foot down . Much success . Later

[@meoneiII]

Thank you Holly for your wonderful videos, you inspire me!

[@toddteagarden2200]

Thank you for not doing a bullshit sailing video! Huge fan of your adventures!

[@captlarry-3525]

I used to use old 1/2 gallon white chlorox jugs as anchor marking bouys. Cheap, tough, seem to last couple of years in the sun. Nice handle to tie to.

[@dancook1118]

Thank you for sharing this journey! I love how we are able to meet people along the way and see the lives they lead through your eyes. I admire your courage and your humanity.

[@OLDMANTEA]

Gotta stock up on coconuts!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Hi Captain Holly and Jarne! I love your local exterminator and tour guide. I loved watching Jarne drying bananas in the sun. It reminded me of my Grandma drying apples years ago. Y'all enjoy yourselves and take care of each other...sail on Captain, sail on!🏝⛵😎👍👍

[@callmebigpapa]

[@mazroey]

Amazing

[@goodandgreen]

love your knowledge and fun times balance Holly!

[@UUBrahman]

Raise that anchor and sell it by using both boats main halyards to lift it into a dinghy then take it ashore and place it with someone who can sell it and pay you a percentage of the gross sales price.

[@jerryhansen5116]

This is such good content. Thanks

[@brianboys9015]

Go Yana. Good man.

[@Stenn333]

Hmmm...I guess you have a store or two on-shore? Where'd the mooring floats come from ...you didn't just happen to have all the perfect stuff you needed did you ? It would be nice to see some footage of town, what it's like there, etc p.s. Speaking for myself, and I think many others, lettings ads run is no big inconvenience, I let them run while I go get another cup of coffee, letting the money roll in. 😎

[@WindHippieSailing]

The floats wash up on the outer reef all the time so I've been collecting them. The chain we had on hand because like we said- making a mooring has been a dream for a long time

[@barb-9352]

Amazing young lady yu are! Thank yu for giving us adventures!

[@contentforcoaches]

Nice video! I loved the shots from the crow's nest, the how-to on your mooring (perhaps you could recycle plastic jugs to leave as a future marker?) and the field trip snippet. Oh, how I wish I could join you! :)

[@Sailspirit99]

Unfortunately most plastic used for jugs are not uv stable so will degrade in the sun. Not good.

[@DiabloSpearguns]

Very well done 🤙

[@lanerothsailing2293]

I love your channel thanks for putting this content on for a sailor. it's getting cold in Ohio so I'll have to sail vicariously through you

[@josephdeak2257]

Love your channel I look forward to your adventures. It takes a lot of heart to do what you do. One suggestion please speak up between the wind and your soft voice it’s hard to hear you. Again love your channel stay safe.

[@ChiChi-dy9qi]

Have to admit I was super sceptical about leaving the boat alone. Glad to hear she was ok without you :-)

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

Very cool, thank you ! ! !

[@brucemarkey7177]

Holly, just wanted to say that I for one would endure ads on your videos if it helps fund your lifestyle. :)

[@williamwest5827]

Eventually when you leave, retrieve the anchor. Put it up for auction and someone will want it for nautical decor. That person will be very happy and you will be a lot happier with some decent cash in your pocket.

[@imagrasshopper9510]

Jarne: Do we have any Saran Wrap? Holly: Nope 🙂👍 Yall so funny. My grandmother once said to me "If we had some ham, we'd have ham and eggs, if we had any eggs" 🤣

[@WindHippieSailing]

Haha your gma sounds like a real hoot. I'll have to remember that line

[@eyeofchorus6313]

I think the water can get cloudy because the air pressure drops which means there is less weight above and, some things that were sinking to the bottom now float back up toward the surface. Someone can let me know if I misunderstand. I know it could just be a shift in current or tide too.

[@alvin1984fiji]

I hope you can help ..I have my mast steps (bent flat bars like your friends )waiting to be installed..could I know what type of fastening were used...have a aluminum mast

[@donnakruse61]

Brilliant!

[@curtismulder1950]

Good Day. Hey so why didn't you tow your boat into the protected anchorage with your mans boat?

Bananas? Why not much fish? Are there edible catchable fish there?

[@jodyssey9921]

Great video as always, when I could hear it. Volume is too low.

[@ststele]

For some weird reason, dive boat captains around here have been all weird about bananas on their boats. Nice to see you covering a boat with them. :)

[@WindHippieSailing]

Haha yes there is some sort of superstition, but bananas are so delicious!

[@discord2000]

Bananas release ethylene gas which acts as a plant hormone and can cause other nearby produce to ripen and/or spoil faster than normal. Some say this effect is the origin of this superstition.

[@paulb5907]

hey holley hope you re good , what is fetch is that the same as swell , or does it mean wind and swell in the same direction , take it easy

[@WindHippieSailing]

Fetch is the distance the distance the wind travels over water unhindered. If you're 1 mile from the windward shore, you have 1 mile of fetch

[@Idahoprepper71]
