Sailing on, single handed

A day at sea with visual artist Elizabeth Tyler who now sails solo after her captain and husband died. Read more about her voyage on yachtswoman.blogspot.se/ or for her art: www.elizabethtyler.com

[@skithewhitestuff]

My wife and I have just returned from Spain where my brother-in-law has a 50 foot ketch. He introduced us to sailing and we are slowly learning the basics. I think we hooked. Your video was truly inspiring and you can certainly paint, wonderful. Hope you will share some more in the future.

[@odedalony5427]

Dear captain, your way of life is so unique and inspiring. People like you makes our world a better place.

[@drummergirl9481]

I got chills, the music, the art, the beautiful water, everything just breathtaking!

[@pogdsmor]

Thank you all for your encouragement, I really appreciate the feed back.

[@Rehtor]

Beautiful and inspiring Elizabeth. I'm sure the captain helps you to hold the wheel when needed.

[@macdchef]

Id love to sail with you

[@hawkeye9382]

Just know he is with you at all times!

[@alguemlima]

The paintings are incredibly beautiful! Congrats.

[@hawkeye9382]

So proud of you! Truly brave! And talented!

[@limegreenbc]

Thank you so much for doing these videos. It brings tears of joy to my eyes realizing it possible for me to do this someday. You are such an inspiration!

[@TeamEvansHealth]

I totally and accidentally stumbled onto this video. Much respect for getting on that boat and continuing what you and your mate started. Ill be looking for your other videos. Oh, amazing paintings too!

[@SaveWesternCivilisation]

So uplifting and inspiring, my friend! By George, I'm going to take up painting again after seeing your stunning works! Best wishes, Cheerio!😄

[@agemartin1]

Wow what an inspiration you are, I have the upmost respect for you. At the moment I am fighting cancer and you show me how to take what life throws at you and continue on. Thank you

[@sailingisabella2786]

good for you.Your love for the sea shines through. respect!!!

[@pettermathersimonsen6029]

Inspirational! Thanks for sharing and finding the energy and drive to go on. I am certain your "captain" is smiling at, and being proud of, you now - wherever he is roaming on the eternal ocean.

[@elizabethtyler929]

thanks for your feedback, much appreciated!

[@azoresmarine]

Such an inspiration. A quiet confidence that we achieve at our age. Thank you so much. Antonio

[@toosinbeymen6304]

I love the way you treat water, Ma'am, in the last painting of the rocky shore. You obviously are very observant and a skilled painter.

[@terrybullock3140]

Truly inspiring, in so many ways. You have my utmost respect and awe.

[@NickPenlee]

Good for you Elizabeth. Art can be very therapeutic can't it, and you're depicted as having started a relatively new chapter in your life and your art will surely reflect this. I'm betting that you feel your late husband's presence constantly with you on your boat as you sail around the Med. Incidentally from what is shown of your artwork you would appear to be very proficient. Happy sailing.

[@ottie1954]

Incredible woman you are! Brave and courageous, riding life instead of hiding in a shell of pain. The sea will help you. When I saw the dolphins guiding you, tears came up to my eyes... Good luck!...and I will look forward to more videos, of course!

[@chuckdilmore2040]

Brave. Thoughtful. Artistic. Great video - thank you!

[@LesleySuddard]

Love this video! Captures the essence of the joys and challenges of single-handed sailing. Bravo for continuing to do what you love to do, even after the loss of your soul-mate and former Captain!

[@caferturker4224]

Touching, lovely, Real video. Thank You lady. Thanks god there is people like you. Cool.

[@skipperhawk2438]

Great vid, thanks for sharing. I solo sail in the Gulf of Mexico away from any commercial lanes where its fairly safe (except for the occasional hurricane) but its like you demonstrate: staying ahead of the game and thinking logically through what you have to do and staying out of the way of other boats and then you can enjoy sailing. Best of luck, and love your painting.

[@anka.zarnecka4803]

Within this 5 minutes I got more inspiration I had since.... a long, long ago. Thank you :)

[@philthefluter4253]

Good for you!! Must be tough to do all this on your own. All power and good luck on your next voyage. Keep up the paining -- they look very good. Phil

[@slylopez9698]

It takes a very special person to do what you do,your sensitivity is clearly printed in your work, I envy your talent..Sly

[@smacksman1]

Loved your video. I used eBay to buy an old boat in Connecticutt from my desk in the UK and solo sailed her to Florida. My wife and friends thought I was mad but it was a great adventure for me. So we can do it Elizabeth - slowly and surely! Fair winds.

[@timnutting2423]

what a wonderful, honest film. Obviously a great painter. your thoughts show a good seamanship. your husband would be very proud im sure.

[@intalik]

What an absolutely wonderful and touching video. So nice to see art and sailing go hand in hand. It is very inspirational, also thoughtprovoking in wondering what life on a boat must be like after loosing a spouse. I can't even imagine. Thank you for producing and sharing this video.

[@FLOTDOLMA]

just great, the will, strength and courage after your loss... and beautiful impressive clip, just sent to my wife as a great inspiration....., hope to see more...enjoy...

[@Lukebensonproductions]

I have great respect for you. You sail single hand like me. You don't overestimate yourself. You sail carefully. Safty first. That is the only right way to do it.

[@westcountry_sailing]

lovely video, thank you. absolute admiration.

[@pogdsmor]

Thank you, glad you like it!

[@J0B-]

incredibility brave lady ... inspirational x

[@MerrittW]

Great video, inspirational sailing and painting in exotic locations what could be better !

[@cpobyrne1]

Inspiring, and beautiful artwork. Thanks.

[@IanBerry-Denimu]

So brave, so talented. Really moved by the video, but the way it was shot, often from your PoV made me feel like I was there, and immediately I felt the nerves and pressure if I was there having to do what you were. I couldn't. Not alone so it gave me an increased respect for what you have done and your bravery. You are an inspiration. And you saved the best 'til last, your amazing artwork.

[@leahhunt2561]

Love the painting at the end! I'll be daydreaming about sailing all week now. :)

[@catfishlee1952]

nice video and beautiful paintings.......thanks for sharing!

[@KeepTurningLeft]

excellent film - great adventure beautifully shot

[@pogdsmor]

Thank you, thats a real compliment coming from you! Loved your videos from the Norfolk Broads

[@sacvibe]

Awesome, inspirational and fun!

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

Wonderful video and fantastic paintings too.

[@MrCbass1234]

I can here your empty feeling in your voice, life has many curve-ball in companionship that you spend with someone, and to share emotions and hope. And to loose some one that your used to that filled you life, it can suck the wind out of you when that void is there. Your pictures I can see the pain and your longing for beauty that you admired and respect. you have been blessed with talent. it was good to see your video and here about the partnership you had with your Husband.

[@patcarmax]

Brilliant love the film "very inspiring" and great art aswell

[@ococortsa]

Fantastic, Thank you so much

[@sailingk8]

Just found your video and blog. I'm a sailor and artist myself and your story and posts are very inspiring, thank you for sharing.

[@pogdsmor]

Thank you, I'm so glad to be able to inspire others as I have been by sailors and artists in the past. Happy sailing and painting!

[@gunnarkaviar]

fantstisk flotte bilder,takk for at du delte.

[@nextworld9176]

WOW. I am impressed. First, Elizabeth Tyler has more balls than I, and then I see those paintings! Where's your next show, E?

[@elizabethtyler929]

Kevin, I stripped all the teak down 8 years ago and gave it 6 layers of varnish. I refresh it with a couple of layers each year. The benches are taken off and stowed below in winter so I don't have to renew the varnish there. I use Epiphanes.

[@lenamaysail]

Thank you very much, I look forward to future videos!

[@msf60khz]

You are a very plucky sailor and I like your painting. Well done.

[@mikekurtz7943]

Just found your video. Lovely. Have sailed many times in Greece and Turkey on other people's boats. Would love to get my own boat to do what you are doing.

[@bobgaysummerland]

He’s proud and you are doing great!!! Doing is learning. I’m sure he’ll whisper advice from time to time…

[@pogdsmor]

Thank you Bob! My experiences solosailing and the reactions to my videos about it have given me the self confidence and self esteem I really lacked then. Yes doing is definitely learning!

[@fedgoe]
