Just stumbled upon your channel... is this your last video?

[@caseylevy7310]

What a beautiful video Lauren!! I can't imagine making that journey by yourself... I was mesmerized with every minute... you must be one hell-uv-a sailor to do that crossing by yourself. Lauren, you are a credit to your generation... we need more like you!!! Well done young lady - well done!! You've just gained another Patreon member!!

[@laurenlanders]

Aww your words and support truly mean so much to me❤️🙏🏼

[@RoyClare]

A wonderfully authentic account of the joys and feels of solo sailing. As a solo sailor I know how departing can be terrifying, the voyage can be both thrilling and disconcerting, and the arrival can be dreaded. You have captured the ebb and flow beautifully, Lauren. Thank you. 🎉🎉

[@InterAstefanMechanic]

12:35 yea!!⛵💨💫 Go girl! ...so positive song!🙂

[@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading]

Heya, after watching 85 vlogs only 1 vlog to go to see what a bummer. It was a great journey from the begin til the end and have a great respect for all the things that you have going true. thank you for letting us a bit into your lively hood. wel hope you upload new ep soon. greatings from Holland

[@danward8720]

Mako is such cool kitty. Have you had him since he was kitten? It's really nice to turn off the stink pot and listen to the wind. Wave action like that is such nice way to lull your way along. Easy to fall asleep. I've been watching you for several months and seen you become a very proficient sailor and seaman. You're a pleasure to watch. Happy you made it safely! Fair winds and following seas...

[@stephenknight8334]

Well, I am back once again after watching 👀 this episode a few times to praise you for what a great job you are doing sharing your adventures. 😊😊😊 You have done an excellent job on a video that I am sure was not the easiest to put together. You kept us engaged with your mechanical issues, your emotions, both up and down, and your day to day experiences during the trip. You truly are a positive influence for us all. I have been on board with you virtually through this channel for quite some time now and have marveled at how well you are at taking us on your lifes journey with you. This one you truly knocked out of the park. I think that is why I look forward to watching each new installment. Thank you for all the hard work that I know you put into each video. Please take a well-deserved rest and get in some "you time" as well. You have earned it. Until next time, be happy, be safe, and know that I am always praying for you and Mako. 💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙

[@laurenlanders]

Thank you so much. Always appreciate your encouragement and feedback🩵

[@oh-brothers]

Lauren has the best sailing channel anywhere !!! Great job !!!

[@brianthomas3465]

The others don't post enough so I lose interest in them. Lauren is truly the best❤ Such an inspiration ❤❤❤

[@stevensorense8388]

Watching Laurens videos is my inspiration and desire to learn how to sail!!❤

[@johnqdoe]

@brianthomas3465 @stevensorense8388 Yeah… It’s so much better than Gone with the Wynns… or Sailing La Vagabond… 😂

[@swimcat2333]

Awww, treats for Mako, cat's got the good life!!! You sleep below during the day? You sleep below at night - is dangerous?. I' d be sleeping in the cockpit during the day. Nothing like that peaceful feeling after about the 3rd day at sea. I would love to feel that again

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

That was a thrilling ride. Hope you get the autopilot worked out to reduce that stress. Voted!

[@lastmanstanding1699]

Great job Lauren. Always say you are an amazing woman, with the heart of a lion and the soul of an adventurer. Thank you for sharing. Good luck with the boat repairs, I always enjoy the videos of you working on the boat, you always do a great job. 👍👍 And don't forget to give Mako an extra piece of Tuna, he is such a trooper.

[@pesttechDoc]

Sorry for your frustrations. We all deal with them. Even at my age it’s still a thing. But I learned that we all have a problem with our “wanters” that part of us that when we want something like the auto pilot and everything to work well, and when it doesn’t we want it to work so much that it causes frustrations and unhappiness, anger even sometimes, but the trick is when your not getting what your wanting, work at not wanting it. Just maybe even enjoy sailing old school style like many still do. 😊

[@tracydubose265]

Aloha, I think I am going to take the plunge. I guess I start small and learn to sail here on Kauai. You are inspiring. Who knows what's next??

[@darrinchiasson6279]

I know nothing about sailing but very much enjoy watching your adventure and admire your courage in doing this on your own. Amazing! Stay safe!!!

[@johnpedersen7752]

Hi Lauren .I have come back to your channel. I hope your are have enough food .Coffee is no enough to keep you energised. Take care from NZ .

[@richardbecker5614]

Amazing1 You are one tough cookie. A solo sail that distance is impressive. I marvel at your mild attitude when things go wrong like the autopilot constantly teasing you, or the didnghy support letting go. Impressive Lauren, very impressive.

[@steveh3483]

Hey Lauren, your video is captivating once again. Of all the sailing videos, yours is the more real life. I love your energy and enthusiasm. Your love for the water and its beauty too. I wish I could come and fix your auto pilot. Fair winds

[@DebYarbrough-sh3cd]

I think by now someone from Garmin needs to sail with you a time or two !!!! Hi Mako!

[@yankeepirate8927]

A calming voice you bring to me here af anchor as I drift off to sleep knowing you'll steer this ship a roll, a creak, a pause, a dip.

[@cD-vg5go]

We do hope you get the HydroVane installed soon, but it is what it is...Mako taking it well..lol Luv from the Desert...

[@brianthomas3465]

Thank you for posting weekly. And its so great being back in blue water. Stay safe ❤

[@turintuscolana9077]

That shot of the rocking stove top is show stopping! )) And nice extended water footage overall. Mako is a great companion.

[@pilotpeego1820]

Congrats on making it to Grenada. Also, thank goodness you didn't encounter any pirates.

[@machine7998]

Glad you made it!! 🙂😍🙂 Would absolutely love to help you sail so you and Mako could rest thru the night! Y’all are rockin it!! 🙂😍🙂

[@josephwalther5979]

Dear Lauren, You and Mako please stay safe. I, and many others, enjoy your videos and we wish we could do what you do, even with all the hard work and frustrations it involves. Looking forward to seeing where you go next season. Godspeed. And I just voted for you for KZbin. Good luck.

[@laurenlanders]

Aw thank you

[@BertDewey]

I grew up in St Pete Fl and have been in many squals I loved the wind - rain and rough times

[@EricGraham1]

You are an absolute badass! Over the past couple of weeks, I've been binge-watching every episode from #1, and your raw and real content has been incredibly inspiring! I'm currently exploring South America, however, I've been looking at boats in my spare time! Hope to see you out in the world someday soon!

[@mauriziocisotti3931]

i was in Grenada San Georges for 2 years..........spice island.............the most beautiful of carebean sea

[@machine7998]

It’s all for you, You gotta open up your eyes, you gotta open up and take a breath, and let the light out, and let it take your heart away. Your amazing!! 🙂❤️🙂

[@jerrygoller4269]

WOW, you are going to spend *months* in Grenada? You must be planning a ton of repairs and upgrades! I can't wait to see it!

[@cspruitt3190]

"And let it take your heart away"! Absolutely!

[@ERo1972]

Living on my yacht full time. Not a cat person really but been thinking about it after seeing your cute little person & the company they brought to you. Safe journeys & fair winds. Wish I had done live-aboard at your age when I was younger but hey at fifty it’s never too late. ❤️ Btw seeing you with your jack line attached makes me appreciative of your skill set. 🥰

[@jeffhudson4817]

Good stuff sister. Luv luv luv the Carribiean water and so miss it. Thanks for all of the video of the water. So calming. Stay safe sister…

[@Pyramid5Music-qu8tv]

Welcome to my lovely island empress hope you find it interesting here peace and love

Good morning, new follower from Sweden. Never followed a youtube channel before but yours I am waiting for each new update. Impressed over your skills and ”stubbornness” you have. Thanks for brightening my days.

[@phil_j_c]

Ms Landers; you are beautiful, your cat is beautiful and the video is beautiful.. thank you :)

[@8twstonestone614]

I admire you beyond measure. I respect you and your passages. I started off as foretopman on the Topsail Schooner Bill of Rights in Tall Ships 1976. (125 ft, no motor) and ended up a Master Mariner with the equator, dateline and Artic Circle multiple times. Sail on girl~!~!~! Fair wind and tide... Never quit. Many have now clue what sort of brave sort you are~!~!!~ TW Stone

[@laurenlanders]

Aw thanks

[@peternairn4474]

Hi and thanks, great insight into days at sea, its raw and relentless and only traveling slow, the motion, challenging.,, You touched all our hearts, I know mine was, when you brought back Mako from the shakes n dried and warmed him up down below💙he is in good hands,, what a feeling on arrival, I have to try this passaging, hats off to yu 🌿

[@laurenlanders]

Going to start my first crossing beginning next year but I must say you’re pretty amazing. Jp

[@johnrode7109]

Sail on and thank you!!! And thank you

[@shenserve]

Thank you for your honest insight on solo offshore passage making. I am preparing for my first offshore passage to the Bahamas this fall and am, admittedly, anxious. Your videos showing you overcome equipment challenges, anxiety, and the elements inspire me to pursue my dream.

[@markeverett48]

Congratulations on an epic sail! Good thing there wasn’t much traffic with your lights not working. Magellan would have been proud.

[@CanadianGrenadian]

Love Grenada, I’ll be there 21JAN-4FEB for the Regatta ☃️😎🐶🐒

[@Vbluevital]

Hey, sails are up!!

[@AnnaleeD]

Look forward to your videos just to know you are OK. I’m a grandma of 16 and prone to worry a bit.❤

[@generossano2800]

It's always so good to see you solo sailing in full confidence in all you decisions and judgement calls. Not always easy to pull off. Hope your autopilot wakes up and starts behaving. also will be very great when you get the wind vane in place. Enjoy.Ans enjoy annapolis boat show. hope you win a few trophies. You have earned them.

It’s always nice to see where you are, what adventures you’re up to etc. I sometimes worry with all the boat stuff, but I know that’s all part of the deal! Be well, sail on!

GOD BLESS SEE U ON THE NEXT ONE

[@robertscranton8293]

Great episode !! on so many levels.

[@laurenlanders]

Aw thanks

[@SMETSYSGNIMIT]

What a great video Lauren. I just had to laugh a little...You're sailing single-handed through storms and rough seas and you take a moment to comment on your hair. Here I was worried about your safety and you were concerned about dreads. Epic. I can't thank you enough for taking us on a wonderful journey and watching you become a top notch mariner!

[@johnjunior6101]

I can not wait until you get your new auto-pilot installed. That working and then not working to working again has to be driving you crazy. Have fun at the boat show and with your repairs.

[@jeffking4269]

Look like bliss

[@dannymontano4796]

Here’s to your safe crossing to Grenada. Welcome to my part of the world (Trinidad). I empathize with your issues with your autopilot, it occurred to me that it might be a question of low power reaching the control, it seemed to work well when the engine was running. Have a great stay. I’ll be in the Grenadines in November. Hope to see you there. Good luck with your projects. Really enjoy your videos. 😊

[@lotusdolphin]

Hello sweet Lauren. So good to see you today. Happy and well. Glad you made it safe.
