Romans 8:38-39 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[@senemudes]

I do not know why I am crying over this video :/ I feel like I had an inner journey watching your own journey. Thank you Leah for being this intimate with us and helping us take these moments to reflect on our life. Especially, your decision to take a step back and think about what to do next after you feel sick touched me deeply.

[@daisy4977]

Leah, you honestly make me fall in love with life in ways i didnt think possible. Seeing your appreciation for different cultures always makes me stop and consciously think and appreciate it all myself as well. You are so inspiring, social media is so full of hustle and living fast that its nice to see creators like you appreciate life instead of constantly preaching moving as fast as you can, accomplishing as fast as humanly possible and being so productive that you cant even stop to be human. Thank you for posting your adventures, always a pleasure to be a part of it in some way❤

[@leahsfieldnotes]

[@JennSarracenia]

This makes me want to go live abroad! I love sailing but an illness popped up 6 years ago which has left me mostly home bound. I have been working on my health and am gaining my abilities back. This video inspired me so much… one day in a few years from now when I am mostly healed, I will be able to explore the world again! Thank you for putting some joy and something to look forward to into my heart ❤

[@girlsjustwannahavefun6960]

i have been sick for 4.5 years, and home bound for a year and a half - this comment resonates so deeply, i had the same thought watching this. wishing you healing, however that may look like, and a future of adventure ❤️‍🩹

[@JennSarracenia]

This was incredible!!!! Life is so beautiful, that’s the only way to describe what I just watched Such an incredible journey, Leah!!

[@leahsfieldnotes]

:’) agreed

[@Rhia7770b]

this was such a ride! i felt like i was sailing with you, and it was such a beautiful journey to witness! it feels so refreshing & important to see you listen to your body, ask for alone time and even cut your sailing short because you knew it was what you needed, while still remaining grateful and full of love for Alathea, Tim and the experience you shared. I wish more people showed the nuances to their experiences and emotions like this, thank you for your honesty

[@postcards-and-stories]

This might be my favorite video of yours - or even favorite of all videos I've watched recently. You mention all those details so tenderly and beautifully which together form life. The happy details like watching the fish in the water and doing a backflip into the ocean, but also the melancholy moments and the moments when you need time for yourself. I felt very seen and emerged - these could have been my own emotions. Plus, I, too, visited Mallorca this summer. It was so cool to see Palma and Port de Soller again through the eyes of another person! Thank you for sharing this wonderfully curated deep dive in how you see the world.

[@leahsfieldnotes]

Wow thank you so much 🙇🏻‍♀️🤍🕊️ I appreciate you

[@erinr8566]

Omg the animal crossing + fisheye scene was soooooo freaking precious and gave me tingles from the serotonin surge lolol 🩵 so cool to see this journey

[@leahsfieldnotes]

Hahaha yayyy mission accomplished

[@nymphea5124]

Your videos en capture what it means to be alive. Every single moment fills me with hope and inspiration. Your feelings and thoughts resonate with me so much so that I find it hard to believe. You are so beautiful, inside and out. Thank you so much for being here and being yourself 🩵

[@jeisylim8384]

How lucky of you to experience this journey. You inspire us to be brave in our own journey too. Thanks!

[@mariahhasfuntimeshere]

I went on a sailing trip with my parents and my best friend when I was ~14 and it was so magical and I’ve always wanted to do it again. The way I knew exactly how you were feeling throughout this, the majesty of seeing land approach, drifting off to sleep with the waves, jumping in the water at a new destination; it made me relive my entire experience. Thank you so much Leah for sharing this and inspiring me to get back to the ocean again one day.

[@miriamwilson342]

Wow Leah your filmmaking has escalated to a whole new level. Beautiful beautiful work. Congratulations on this gorgeous, vulnerable documentary!!!

[@ying1296]

I found your experience extremely inspirational. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do what you did, meeting and going out with complete strangers and all, but I am very inspired to go out there by myself one day. Super great to hear that you’ve had a great GREAT experience, and thankful that you uploaded this as well! ❤

[@innax6573]

Wow that was so inspiring. Thank you for sharing and I am happy for you, that you had the chance to experience all of these places through your saling trip with these beautiful persons. Greetings from Germany 🫶

[@crisannegenil]

Hi Leah! It took me 3 days to watch it because I really wanted to truly savor all the moments you lived on the boat with bits of reflection, thinking how would i survive such experience. Your journey grew on me (idk if this is the right term)as i was watching it and I could feel the sadness or strange feeling that can come up after days of body fatigue, constant view variation and just by also being completely separated from the land which for all your life was always beneath your feet. I'm so proud of you and happy for the lessons you got and shared with us from them and the boat and the sea. Thank you for taking the time and energy to film

[@leahsfieldnotes]

Wow thank you for this thoughtful message and viewing of this documentation 🤍🫂 I felt like I went on this journey twice. Once in the present and a second in reflection! I’m so glad it could move you :)

[@arohamackay9303]

the little clip at 18:24 is chef's KISS its so adorable!!! all of these sailing vlogs have been so beautiful and so meaningful thank you so much leah!!

[@nanettelui2034]

Leah I sailed thru Sicily with a family last summer, and this just brought me back. the nostalgia, the swims, making memories w others on an open sea, seeing the night view of city lights from the water, the cooked meals, efficiently washed dishes, and quick showers cus the limited water... thank u for sharing ur beautiful experience

[@yuantian311]

watching this video is so healing and inspiring... making me feel grateful about my life just for having the possibility to explore the world as you did

[@DearEmma-tj1zs]

I was feeling so low these days. Your video especially how you dealt with low energies makes me feel much better. Thank you Leah

[@essmaxwell]

This is the most minor part of the video but "I would throw up so many more times for this," was completely life altering - I've been dealing with some pretty bad emetophobia for the last few months and the idea that someone could be ok with that feeling in order to see and do beautiful things? I currently can't fathom it but you're giving me hope to be "brave" and keep living me life even in the unlikely event I get sick during it. Thank you :)

[@aliayub5475]

Right Decision .to chill out with your cousin ,boat trip was amazing but 30 days is too long .and those feeling that came out were so important my therapist told me only the truth will set you free .being honest about one feelings only happens when out of comfort zone .

I really needed to hear about the emotions whilst travelling and doing once in a lifetime opportunities as I feel I’m going through the same right now and making things worse by feeling guilty and ungrateful because I’m in such a beautiful place with generous hosts! So thank you for this because the last few days here have been tough! ❤

Can’t express my feelings in words. But this is the first time I feel in this way by watching a vlog . I feel like your video has magic that can bring people really close to your life.

[@girlpaul]

For some reason this made me feel emotional since I watched your first sailing vid… you making a home with two strangers on a boat and feeling all these human emotions then being honest to when you need rest - all felt like we were there with you. Not gonna lie I felt sad too when you decided to end the sail then teared up a bit when you saw them again in Barcelona. (I’m on my period right now too lol) Thank you for sharing with us this beautiful experience.

[@sergeidolbin2775]

It was a lovely story.. I loved your analysis of energy exchanges, emotions gathering and giggled from your accents show. I was sorry to hear that your body has gone through some misery during this trip, but I can relate, because I've gone through something very similar about 20 years ago, when I've just gotten into sailing. For that reason, perhaps in order to encourage your to give sailing more chances than just this one, I've decided to share with you what I've discovered through my sea sickness personal research, where I believe that some of it applies to most of us. I've fallen in love with sailing and have started my journey in it by helping in delivering sailboats as a crew. I did many of them overtime, where in total it can be summed up it 1-day, 3-days, 5-7 days, 18 -days - out on the water. I've learned that everybody gets sea sick at first. Then, everybody has hi/her own adjustment period, usually it is 2-4 continuous days on the water, where a day at anchor counts as a day on the water, with a light veritable/fruit or oatmeal diet. If, when like in your case, where you have had only 1 to 2 days on the water and then went ashore, you've actually broke your 2-4 day adjustment period that is actually needed to pass. The moment you've ended up on land, your body takes it as a signal of being back to normal and to stop adjusting to the sea motion conditions. So, your port hopping got your body confused and it was starting a new adjustment sequence every time you'd move to your next leg. So, here is what I do on my boat when new sailors are on board for a trip. If time allows, we spent first 2-4 days on anchor, allowing everyone to get through their sea sickness curve. If the trip is more than 3 days, than I explain that they should eat light,, dress warm to counter the sea sickness chills, spend as much time as possible in the cockpit, do not take watches if you're not feeling normal, sleep right in the cockpit as much us you can, do not fight any of your physical symptoms, do not take any medicine or drugs in order to "help". Why? I've done that research on myself with pills, patches and nothing. Apparently, drugs just fool our body for about 2 days, that it's - Okay. The moment it wears out, you're landing yourself on a day 1 of the 2-4 days adjustment period. So, do not take anything and just ride it out. The more of the 3 and more days of sailing you'll do - the shorter and lighter the adjustment period will become, until it becomes so mild that you stop noticing it. Do not be shy to communicate your needs with the captain, as we are very human and like to see people enjoy their time on board. Fair winds ⛵
