Swell: A Sailing Surfer's Voyage of Awakening

[@akseakayaker]

We met years ago, you were hauled out in Tahiti and working to remove your vessels shaft. At the time I was living over on Moorea. So happy you have continued your adventures. Today I sail my own boat but over in the Atlantic as I slowly work my way around this world, hope someday our paths shall cross once again. Wishing you safe passages. S/V Siberian Sea

Well done I am much the same , sail alone and struggle with nature’s offering , wild weather , hot days , and days without wind , the food she offers , the water she tips over me , the boat ages quicker than me so need more attention , constant eye on all parts , but would I sit in an office gazing out the window till 5.00 pm , no way , so keep going

[@birdsnest69]

You are an incredibly brave person Liz. May God bless your journey ⛵️

[@DarwinianUniversal]

Chills up my spine and scalp when she recounted that storm situation

[@canyonhaverfield2201]

Tunneling you billions of bright peaceful,knowledgable paths of light . Your sprite of strength,patience,soulfulness,braveness and humbleness have touched me deeply today as I work on the shelfs of my 'on land boat' named Tug . I made a couple goof-ups,but in the background I was playing this TubeClip with you deeply sharing about patience,and trust, which enabled good vibe'd reactions on my part.. while my own inner wisdom clearly reminded me that these carpentry moves are based on accuracy,not speed. That accuracy makes excellence to the eye and to touch. Sending you much aloha,from the Ca.west coast.

Alone is sometimes about being FREE.. & if that freedom comes with FEAR, learn to make that distinction of what’s important most all all & watch that freedom flourish as you conquer those fears & embrace new adventures in life. Good for you. 💪🏻💪🏻🌞🌿👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great and inspiring journey! A role model for all us sailors out there trying to share our stories! Keep it coming!

[@GabrielSwift]

Such an incredible and inspiring women! There's something so appealing about the vastness of the ocean. A beautiful piece indeed!

[@Mikinct]

Gabriel Swift all I can say is one word: Thalassophobia is one of them. It refers to an intense and often unwarranted fear of the ocean.

[@saumontario]

Thanks for nice video Liz !

[@julietenbrook8525]

What an AMAZING BEAUTIFUL HUMAN You are my heart❤️

[@lyssadambrosio7066]

Cant wait to read this on my sailing trip in a couple weeks !

[@kevincostner9734]

Followed you liz from the beginning. Looking foreward to getting the book.

[@alangravley9574]

It's a great read so far, I am about half way through it. It's not quite what I expected, but Liz's story is truly fantastic. I wish to someday embark a similar journey, maybe diving instead of surfing tho, those big waves scare an old guy LOL

[@everydayrippers]

This is amazing :D Such a great water woman. Admirable

[@symphonyfarm2009]

I am finishing Julie Bradley's book Escape from the Ordinary. Winter isn't over in Vermont, as I count the days to splash the boat. Hell yes I will read this next!

[@C345OFR]

More power to you, girl!

[@japhyvansan]

[@adolfoarrieta5178]

Wow, what a geat shots. Thats why i suscribed your channel. Very inspiring. Blessings and keep on

[@lacamula1]

I like that there’s a Cat there to keep her company ☺️ Aloha🌴

[@ProjectManaia]

You would be surprised how many cruising sailors have a cat (and sometimes dog) to keep them company.... personally I like the human company, sometimes less understanding but at least you get the occasional answer....

[@kevincostner9734]

There used to be a cat. Its passed away to wherever cats go.

[@DanMarshallSails]

Someone else was shooting some of that footage. Perhaps the cat?

[@Mikinct]

Just imagine the cat accidentally goes overboard=C.O.B It would be a total Cat-astrophe :-)

[@mbesserj]

aweasome video and travel

[@chicaLawana6]

So awe inspiring!😍

[@rimasmeleshyus6545]

[@spencerflynn7743]

I read the whole book in 4 days couldn't put it down

[@davidapacjr1989]

This girl is so fucking cool.

[@spencerflynn7743]

Liz I would really like to know ... it looks like you don't have a headliner on your boat. Did that work for you well? Thanks

[@jessbrewer4408]

Very inspired!

[@ArnoldGia]

I'd love to see more videos from this artist! Who made this video?

[@shanekonarson]

Hey Liz are you makin vids again ?

[@tdelaveau]

how old was she when she set sail?

[@lighterpacks]

Great video and story. I'd like to read the book but it's not available in ebook so that's too bad. Minimizing environmental impact - go digital ;)

[@ProjectManaia]

Was looking for the ebook as well but no luck yet. Always short on space on the boat :D So books are more of a luxury :D

[@hsgalumnisailingclub454]

now it´s available for the Kindle...

[@rudbeckia885]

It's always easier to shake a reef out ; then to wait till you absolutely need one...

[@panther105]

This is an ad, right?

[@japhyvansan]

panther105 yea...for freedom

[@GigaMarou]

[@Rullekakemannen]

[@mariacohen5179]

Reading your book. You can’t raise the poor by tearing down the rich. Your elite life and age over shadows your adventure 😢

[@leonatweedie6248]

Biden voter...LOL!

[@805gregg]

You've sailed 20,000 miles in 12 years, that's only 138 miles per month, so since you only sail about 1 day per month, what do you do the rest of the time, and you are only free to do this because someone gave you the boat, you didn't earn it.

[@kathymetcalf9926]

not good to be a DICK

[@kevincostner9734]

805gregg read her book. You might learn something. But those 20,000 miles are blue water miles ,her crossings from california to mexico,panama to tahiti and the other island chains in the south pacific . I am sure she sailed more than 50,000 miles on her keel on top of the 20,000 just sailing around the islands looking for waves and other adventure. She deserves respect for what she has accomplished. Youre comment shows you know nothing about her. So you should find out more and then give us youre opinion. The boat might have been gifted to her i am not sure but reguardless she would have spent 10 times the boats value over the past 12 years just in maintenance and preparing for her voyage. So gregg i hope you can understand you have a lot to learn about boats and crossing oceans

[@alangravley9574]

+Kevin Costner Hey there, I commend you giving such a nice reply to the classless jerk, who has no idea what she did to "earn it". Never ceases to amaze me how many fools open their mouths without having any substantial knowledge of that which they speak. Sounds like he is most likely highly jealous of not spending 12 years pursuing his dream, doubtful if he even has a dream anyway, lol. 805gregg, are you always such a moron? Or do you have moments of clarity in your fits of jealousy?? Try learning about something before opening your flapping lips, it will go a long way in making you seem less of a complete moron.
