Sailing the north sea in stormy conditions - Part 1/5 Atlantic 2020/2021 - EP31

[@rebelnz7837]

I have a huge fear of being on a boat in the ocean, but Laura is literally the only person I would trust sailing with. Her Maiden Trip was absolutely incredible. Can hear the kiwi coming through more in her accent since then :)

[@bradleymyers5030]

[@billhanna8838]

Great team , Fair winds .

[@edewaal97]

Love it, thanks for taking us along! Always good to see you take safety seriously. +1 for having everyone wear a life jacket.

[@awuma]

Harnesses, tethers and jacklines. The harnesses can have automatic or manual inflatable flotation built in, but the real aim is to never fall overboard. Laura used them extensively on her solo circumnavigation. See the earlier boat tour video for a detailed description.

[@edhendrix6848]

Zooo gaaf!!! Really beautyfull tot see the interaction on board between you all . Love what you're doing!!! Thanks for sharing!! 🤗❤️ Ed Hendrix 🇳🇱

[@dogwhiskers8]

[@joytekb]

Great Laura. Good that you are happy guys.

[@ivok496]

Amazing adventure Laura! Great initiative for the kids. Such an education for them in all aspects of life. Fair winds and following seas!

[@johndavidson6867]

So happy to see the start of your first ever sail training course for for young teens. Hoping to see more of that enjoyable time. The start looked to be a bit rough but everyone looked to be happy. May "Neptune: continue to look upon GUPPY with benevolent kindness and bless your future trips with fair winds. Good luck Laura, and may all your dreams come true.

[@dirkerasmus6808]

Fantastic, what an amazing adventure and learning experience it must be for you all. Good job Laura.

agree :)

[@jansmit3806]

Zondag gehoord dat jullie hiermee bezig waren. Heel bijzonder en leuk om te zien

[@Nerd3927]

I am very impressed you are brave enough to take this challenge. Sailing around the world on your own is easy in comparison :-)

[@HRJ1411]

Oh to be 17 again, what I would have given to take part in this! Instead I was vicariously adventuring reading Claire Francis’ book

[@edmondkhanbegian1753]

Super!!!

[@fransdriesen1311]

Very nice video, the mixing of stills with video makes it so unique..Happy crew that is learning a lot of team work, living together and taking care of Guppy..Video contains a lot of the boat under real sailing conditions..What an initiative..Congratulations..

[@SailingChannels]

When You were in Saint Marteen,for Christmas,i sentí you a ChrisCard and a silver crafted Dolphin..

[@CapitalVideo]

Nice to see that you are flying a New Zealand flag as a Kiwi citizen.

[@pauljamison3340]

Thats not by choice!! The boat is NZ registered!!!!

[@lauradekkerworldsailing]

Yes but that was a choice ;)

[@sophietomesen8388]

Leuuuuukkkk

[@bittersweet340]

Woo "Kiwi Flag"

[@rodrigomelendez8042]

I remember ...Dolphins like You and You like Dolphins..

[@trippontwowheels]

Yay!

[@jansmit3806]

Gehoord van Lex Vogelensang in Medemblik op paasdag die op de boot vertoefde

[@PaulGabow]

often team members go without belay in difficult sailing conditions without safety-lines

[@dickhavorn7637]

yes agree, it's nice to see this crew use life-lines al the time.

[@gerbentvandeveen]

Lauren, denk je dat je in 2025 weer terug bent in Nederland? Voor SAIL AMSTERDAM 2025? Dat zou namelijk, super mooi zijn. Groetjes uit Spakenburg Nederland Gerben T.

Do Childeren get SEASICKNESS ??

[@Walldorf-City-Limits]

I watched every LD video on youtube and loved it very much. This one though, no. Half of it is simply some kids and young guys goofing around and having fun. Though not really interesting for me. I really do not like the video, though I won't give a "thumbs down" due to what she acomplished earlier.

[@jiefflerenard1228]

This video could have been amazing,the kids who are they, the boat ,a tour maybe? some navigation,who does what ? who is responsible?, the duties?.it is sad ,Video was never Laura strong asset but investors might want more exposure ?

[@corvavw6447]

Wat was nou de prestatie? Hoe je aan zo'n schip komt of hoe je er mee rond vaart.word er wel moe van al die zogenaamde prestaties. Ga eerst eens een boot verdienen en doe dat dansje dan nog eens( en zonder al die hulp)

[@planet-horn-vlog]

too much posing for sailing, sorry, feel the real spirit girl!

[@jiefflerenard1228]

Considering Laura being a legend and the huge $$$ involved , such a poor documentation of the trip is a mystery to me. Horrible camera-audio work .Is it just about kids fooling around? What about navigation? Duties? Drills? Day-night watches? Who is in charge? How where the kids selected? Why a baby on board when millions of teens drool on such an adventure. Is there school and nav courses? What about the boat who is the captain ? Laura or the other guy?The foundation does not owe the viewers anything but having all the right cards can they really ignore the sizable KZbin $$$ that a well managed site brings in? Nice boat though!

[@lauradekkerworldsailing]

Hi Jeff, We're actually a very low budget foundation trying to keep the costs of joining one of our programs as low as possible while maintaining a big vessel like this. My partner and run it and I make the video's myself in spare time..I know they aren't top notch ;) Being famous does not mean being rich and don't get me wrong I don't feel the need to be. I just want to life my life and at the end be able to say I have done my best to do something good in the world. I wish for our students to gain confidence, follow their dreams and realise being happy is about appreciating what you have and doing good in the world. They are involved in everything onboard from cooking too navigating and sailing. PS: the baby is mine ;)
