I left home when i was 15 and went to Africa, wanted to see it, took me 15 years to see my family again.... They saw me leaving at 15 years old, and i was 30 when i came back.... Worked on boats, but most of my travels where on land. It's not always easy not having your family with you. I know exactly how it feels. But they say" if it doesn't kill you, will make you stronger" . Ook in Nederland gewoond... 8 jaren... Mooi waren die tijden....!!! Go for it girl!!!? I believe at a later age i will regret more the things i haven't done,than the ones I've done... Sounds like a cliché.... Don't stop....
Ah, Galapagos is beautiful. Great trip!
I watched the documentary 5 times!!! Amazing journey and human.
That Neptune Pancake was they key to your successful voyage. He is tired of bad Rum and nasty Aquavit.
Inspirational video... Make u free catching the dreams...
Respect. Well done.
I know this ravioli-feeling. It's the disappointing gap between prepared to eat and forced to clean up 🙄😂
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us. Happy Easter.
I enjoyed this very much! I have read all your blogs at the time. So nice to see the footage. Yep, I could have bought books, and movies, but hey I am Cheap, I am Dutch :-)
at that point you were no longer a polywog.. you became a shellback... you are a very courageous young woman!!!
Awesome recap... You play good guitar.... one of my fav. Metallica songs🤘 You must feel fulfilled that you were able to start at such an early age ..important to have supportive parents👍My early days I had a 14' rowboat …oar power... darn... That's what I was missing …sails😂 I guess I will also renew my PADI scuba certification from the '80's one day😁Happy belated Easter and hoping you and your family stays safe👍
I love Laura, read her book, bought her DVD, so authentic material. Will follow over the atlantic at least some day...
Your bravery is as impressive as your intellect.
Thank you Laura for sharing another beautiful video. Your videos are a joy to watch..
Laura Dekker is my hero!
You COOL! I'm really encouraged!
Enjoyed this so very much...
Laura, your videos are lovely but I would LOVE to see more actual "Sailing" of yours.
That is upwind, tacking with 2 masts and 4 sails, then sailing downwind maybe with the spinnaker, etc !
Sailing, Sailing & Sailing...
Thanks !!
Laura you and your videos have spoiled me. The only vessel I want now is a Jeanneau Gin Fiz identical your beautiful vessel.
Great video. Keep them coming. Loved the dive footage.
Wow dit lijkt me een heel vet avontuur! En best wel gaaf dat je Nothing Else Matters speelde op je gitaar ;) 🇳🇱
Beautiful video. Thanks...
I found your video today, can't stop to watch.Best regards from Russia
Лаура,ты молодец! from Rasha
Alweer bijna 10 jaar geleden. Held!! Super cool!
I'm so jealous. It seems to be a great experience and watching your videos feel like I'm living it. Maybe in the future! Keep it up, I'm in love with your channel :~)
Prachtig Laura...This footage is unique as it reflects real life aboard Guppy .. Thanks for sharing..
Thank you laura.
Laura thanks a lot for nice, fun and true video! 🙏 It's great! 💪👍
Really beautiful footage. Makes you feel like the viewer is along for the voyage.
Coolest girl on earth! Wish I had the guts to sail the open seas like that, alone!
so amazing!!!! thank you, laura, for inspiring me to go for my dreams too!! you can really inspire. thats so important in this world right now!
Hi Laura
You are truly an incredible and inspirational person!
I wish I was young enough to travel with you.
I will be trying to get my granddaughter...1 week old to get n your radar!
Thanks for the amazing inspiration!
Geweldig. Wat een lef en.prestatie 👍🙌🙌🙌🙌🎂🙋
Nice boat, wonderful dream
Thank you Laura. I enjoy your travels very much. Cheers from Downunder
Gray Brisbane Australia
Awesome! Great video..
Hi Laura.
You are wonderful. You impressed me. I have your book, without an autograph yet. Maybe one day...Greetings from Poland!
Two masts: GREAT !!
Love from Sweden❤️
Just getting around to seeing this! Thank you for sharing. Amazing to watch someone single hand a boat like this and on a trip like this. Then you realize the reality that the captain is a 15-16 year old. GREAT job!!!
I think at this point she was still 14.
But she is indeed amazing!!!
Yes I did enjoy this part of your adventure. Cheers Gray
That Metallica's cover song completely melted my heart
Wow, simply amazing. Thank you!
I have only just come across your channel, it;s great! Love the Metallica on the guitar, I always bring mine with me too!
Awesome!
To do this feat even with a borrowed boat is awesome! We'll rounded kidda.
Great vid. Looking forward to see the rest. Watching from Ontario Canada 😊🎉
배가 너무 예뻐요^^ The yacht is so pretty^^
This girl is something.....
Wow sailor great episode, please keep me in mind for I will be launching my website and channel shortly to raise my sails.
Good job 👍🏼
Bloody good effort
i liked this i´m following you!
PARABENS POR TODA A SUPERAÇÃO
Wow, why did you wait so long to put this on ? Humm, pancake to neptune, first time I've seen that.
i have watched all your videos and am going through them again. i have noticed that the sea and the wind and the sailing in general is much more pleasant in these earlier videos. in video #6 especially, i got nervous for you in how intense your sailing challenges seemed to be... even though you seemed to like it and did not display tension from the heavier seas and wind in that video. obviously, sailing is in your veins and heart. :)
She mentions somewhere that she learned a lot in the earlier parts of the voyage, such as crossing the Atlantic. By the time she was past the Galapagos, she was fully prepared to take on the much more severe challenges over the top of Australia and right across the Indian Ocean and then on to Cape Town.
You are so beautiful and courageous💓
Luar biasa amazing 👍👍
Go girl
my kind of girl!😘🥰
На самом деле если человек предрасположен, то ему и море по колено) знаю по себе) в яхт-клубе не учил теорию и терминологию, но как только почувствовал ветер с этого момента для меня не стало проблем с управлением) бывали и тяжёлые моменты, после которых я море не мог видеть в течении полугода!) но затем тянуло снова под парус... На данный момент в России в таких малых как мой, яхт-клубы не выживают, наш яхт-клуб превратился в сообщество собственников который постепенно уменьшается. Так как я не имею в собственности личную яхту, мне пришлось покинуть яхт-клуб и на данный момент я любуюсь ими на ютубе)))
Muito corajosa essa mulher fazer uma navegação assim olha não é para qualquer um
danke
Super . I love your Ravioli , mmm .I did the semthing with spaghetti ..🤣
BOA VIAGEM VALEU ❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
Nothing else matters 👍
ravioli everywhere!!!! MITICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Cool at :44 A shortwave radio, hopefully wide open with frequencies so you can become a Ham Radio Operator. There is a new mode now called JS8 and it works even now world wide . A person could send messages and location/bearing/status data and people would relay it to your people. For Free ! And takes very cheap equipment. Unlike Pactor, expensive.
Im whacht this in school...
Sorry they destroyed guppy. I have the same boat. Although not cutter rigged. Impressive sail area.
God speed
make sure that the shark does not suppress the atoms, we wake up to miss you!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍
Because you offer your pancake to our Greek God 'NEPTUNE' you must take more than ''thumbs up'' i will subscribe too......... congratulations and stay safe.
VASILEIOS
Is there a reason that dolphins following a ship at the front, just playing or
👍
Trying to work out but mind telling, what boat is it?
Beautiful journey ! What language do you speak in the vídeos ?
Dutch
5:05 hahaha ABOM79 theme music. He's not a sailing channel though.
Are she never afraid of being assaulted?
She is so brave, i wish i had her self confidence.
You can live in fear and never do it.. or just do it.. the world is mostly good..
@@TC-yx1qt Thats not my experience.
I really thought there were more big container and cargo ships to hit her, can t see any ship wow, cast away
Wait was that guitar rift from Nothing else matter from Metallica at 1:00?
Yes :)
Laura, are you an amateur radio operator? If so, what is your call sign? 73 de W3DNQ
Super cute to boot!
Highly inappropriate comment old guy
@@michynature Hey. we old guys have a right to compliment a pretty girl... not only is she pretty she's also smart.
@@leecowell8165 you got one thing right...it’s a girl...
Alot of sailing videos shows all the things they do outside sailing. That's OK, but they don't place enough emphasis on the actual sailing...how often they have to trim and reef sails...and do so at night...and through stormy water...thats what one wants to see too
Yes you are right, but when it gets difficult and very rough, filming is usually the last thing on a persons mind ( unless youtube is the main income I guess..?!) For me the filming was always fun, I made it for myself, friends and family and only just now decided to post some of it. Maybe in the future I will keep your comment in mind and try to film some more of the actual sail handling and technical things in rough weather ;)
The would be sailors will be afraid?
@@lauradekkerworldsailingfou2133 Actually, in this series you DO show a lot of the sailing. I'm very impressed by how well your boat was organised, how well it worked, how you handled everything. Did you ever have to go up the mast by yourself?
Most American girls don't even know what a single side band radio is.... For that matter , most American boys don't either.
What does nationality have to do with it? It's highly likely most people not associated with activities like sailing, or overlanding, or remote living with a need to communicate would know about such technology.
Ze zal nu wel der school afgemaakt hebben.
spoilt child. many kids same age,,cant buy a expensive sail boat like this,,,,,she no works to pay the boat,,get for free en than act like oooooo look me hahahah come on set up show..
you know NoThing about what you say. she has been sailing since she was six and bought her first seaworthy boat at the age of 10 with her own money doing odd jobs after school.
Pathetic comment. Obviously you know nothing about her life and what she went thru to do this trip.
Nice, troll von penistein
Jealous? Go, crawl back into your miserable dark bunker of misery. What a sad soul you are.
