sailboat Resilience Community Freedom

[@mngbennett]

Thank you for the community you have built with your work, and your kind and thoughtful words. I hope someone tells you "you are awesome" at least once a day.

[@sailorama]

Thank you - yes I'm the kind of lucky person who hears something nice each day from others. I hope the same for you! Cheers from both of us!

🌬️💟 *Justine You are the ONE* 💜🌊

[@sailorama]

One of many ✌️

[@bowersish9489]

I always enjoy your videos, your raw emotion and honesty about boatlife and the people and the world around you is appreciated.

[@sailorama]

Thank you 🙏 Knowing that people like you are appreciating keeps us going.

[@Ramenscooter]

Freedom just another word for nothing left to lose. Right, nothing left

[@sailorama]

True - that is a kind of freedom.

[@SoItGoesCAL34]

Thanks for the video, Justine. Making progress.

[@sailorama]

Thank you for the appreciation!

Sailing is about community, and it looks like you have an awesome one there. (And you have the prettiest dinghy I’ve ever seen.) 😎🥰❤️

[@sailorama]

I think Rio Dulce is a pretty good cruiser community - we know there are others out there too!

[@graeme-sailingskeptic]

Justine you are amazing, talented, and resilient! I love your work!

[@sailorama]

Thanks, that means a lot!

[@Stuwy2]

happy new year

[@sailorama]

Thanks, happy new year to you too

[@Stuwy2]

@@sailorama you have a great message about community, as we are full time liveaboards ourselves we completely agree. Also being thankful for the freedoms we have while keeping those less fortunate than us in our thoughts.

[@jamesshepperd4927]

The raw honesty in your intro monologue shows true character Justine. Yours is not a sailing vlog but the work of a scribe who puts the resilience practiced by sailing into perspective as contrasted by the tragedy of humanity’s failure in Gaza. I am glad you sense your duty to truth tell. Respect!

[@sailorama]

Thank you - I sense that telling the truth will only get more complicated from now on.

[@jamescarid3448]

Justine, the windows are coming along nicely. It's good to know you have helpful neighbours. Cheers from Ont.

[@sailorama]

Thank you. Cheers from us too!

[@daveamies5031]

Justine, the outboard mechanic? learning useful skills there, one day in some remote place you might trade those skills for fresh provisions, so learn as much as you can, you never know how it'll help you in the future 👍

[@sailorama]

Absolutely - when my outboard went into the water, my first thought was learning opportunity!

[@mpb02]

Great video! Community is key when sailing

[@sailorama]

I feel like I can't emphasize it enough!

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

We are all neighbors and relatives in a tiny ocean covered world and need to act like it for sure! I'm glad you are getting er done! Must be awesome to have water tight ports and hatches...

[@sailorama]

We need to act more like it, exactly. The world feels really bad - but small window wins feel good, I have to admit. Thanks as always for watching!

[@moccaluis]

100% well said big hug 😍, free free Palestine 🇵🇸 ✊🏻

[@sailorama]

Cheers to you! No one is free until Palestine is free ✌️

[@liongod1000]

@Sailorama *_ Two things to NEVER discuss on a Sailing channel are 'POLITICS & RELIGION' ( Yes there are TWO sides to that story.... ) I sympathise with both but there are channels for those sorts of subjects _*

[@sailorama]

I'm a human being just like they are, and so I'm a channel for that sort of subject ❤️

[@knoxfullspectrumdoula3621]

Just because we're on the water doesn't mean politics and religion don't affect us. We're whole people with whole lives.

[@SoItGoesCAL34]

@@sailorama Right on, Justine! ♥

[@AM-ni3sz]

Nice community

[@sailorama]

I agree - we're so lucky!

[@dboboc]

I enjoyed watching these videos, until you ruined it with the political commentary ( no, I don’t support either side). Should have just kept it about boats, especially considering the fact that you KZbinrs are constantly begging for money. I’m outta here.

[@sailorama]

'Shut up, put your head down, don't even mention your fellow creators being genocided' -- that's what you sound like to me. Bye!

[@shahntv]

​@@sailorama Please stop misusing the word genocide. Your fellow content creators are not being genocided, they are caught in the middle of a hybrid war in which their side uses them as human shields in order to create as many casualties as possible so that they can use it as propaganda against Israel. Hamas leaders have openly admitted it, it is a verifiable fact. That's why they build tunnels for terror and not bomb shelters for civilians.

[@cezarparra6174]

Don’t forget to speak about the people of Israel that were killed and held hostage. It’s not just the Palestinian people that are suffering.

[@sailorama]

I answered this - I think my response was censored.

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

[@phillipobrien7365]

Sorry Justine, I watch your videos for sailing and boat repairs not global politics. To say the world is "shitting on" Palestine obviously ignores the fleet of aid trucks waiting at the border. Also I do not remember you coming out with any political diatribe when Hamas (the terrorist organisation and government of Palestine) attacked, murdered, and kidnapped over 1200 Israeli civilians. A very biased viewpoint.

[@sailorama]

I appreciate your comment because it assures me that folks need to hear it from ‘non-political’ voices most of all at this point.
