I’m so glad Eskimo is still crossing oceans! I sailed her from Australia to South Africa just over 20 years ago, when I was about the same age as this young woman. I was pregnant for that crossing, and my daughter was born in Knysna. I was sad to see Eskimo sold a few years later after I had returned to Canada with my daughter. But seeing this video has made me so happy to see that Eskimo is still doing what she does best! I hope you have many more voyages with her!❤

I remember that boat from Knysna, South Africa about 20 years ago. She belonged to an old dude who had a very attractive young lady. They had a baby while in Knysna. After they departed, I bought the mooring slip which they had been using. She was really well maintained. I great sea boat! Good luck! What a story!

[@SailHub]

No way! That’s amazing! Yeah, a cool sturdy boat that’s for sure and she’s still being looked after now which is good, I do wonder where she will go in her!

Beautiful, courageous young woman! Very inspiring! I have sailed, with my wife (who has lived and farmed in Quebec), from Panama to Australia, and along the way met many cruising sailors, a few of them single-handers. It is a wonderful life. Congratulations! I know what it is like, out there, but on our boat there was always someone on watch while the other slept. Captain Joshua Slocum was my inspiration, the world’s first solo around-the-world sailor. Bravo!! (And deliciously filmed!) ❤😂❤️

I think that Claire was lulled in a little corner of her mind by the story of Jessica Watson, 17 years old, who sailed around the world solo on her 10m boat Ella's Pink Lady......if we add the thousands of Nm traveled on various boats since early childhood, the need for this experience is an outcome, a personal confrontation with the ocean to write the rest of one's adventures.....and the present demonstrates it

you guys retired lol?

[@SailHub]

I wish! We’re super busy right now. We’re building a van to live in before we start a boat build… there’s are videos in the making, next one is out next a week Sunday…!sorry for the delay, it’s literally manic! We’ve managed a little on Instagram but even that is hard - we’ve got the two of us hard at it for 12 hours a day!!

It’s a volvo penta I think but which one it is I’m not sure without seeing it properly.

Hi Phillip, Claire’s Instagram is in the description if you want to speak with her. She’s still speaking French there!

[@mireillemeder2273]

Salut claire, je t'avais mis un petit mot..et il a été effacé, Bises, Vincent

[@SailHub]

Hey up Vincent, just so you know, it wasn’t us who deleted your note if it were on here, maybe KZbin is playing up.. it does that.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

[@SailHub]

Well isn’t that great! Not really seeing the relevance here though.

[@Mechanicsville804]

@@SailHub because of your fear of death, you don’t have to be afraid when you look to Jesus Christ because He gives everlasting life.

[@SailHub]

@Mechanicsville804 I’m aware of that and it’s quite handy but I don’t see the relevance to Claire’s story.

[@SailHub]

@Mechanicsville804 but Claire gets the same from taking chocolate in here trips. I see your point I just thinks it’s a bit weird to be mentioning it in a scenario that has no mention of this.

Dommage je ne comprends pas l'anglais je te souhaite de bonne navigations .

[@SailHub]

C’mon, give her a break. She’s being interviewed in English for an English YT channel.

[@icevanluijk1172]

When it is a female, all of a sudden the whole interview steers to her feelings. I want to hear about the preparations, provisioning, technical and navigational challenges, etc. Nevertheless, good work skipper!

[@SailHub]

She did good aye! For sure, there’s loads on this but we were more inspired by her attitude - it’s a rarity and awesome. Maybe being a boat builder, I get a bit bored of prep and all the rest and she set off with not much at all which really inspired me.
