E6: Solo a Sailing in Antigua clearing in and Dinghy Sailing Depth Sounder Breaks
Vložit

- I am a 27-year-old female solo sailor beginning my circumnavigation.
My boat is a 27 foot sloop named Gecko. Follow me on my journey as I
learn about heavy-weather sailing, the trials of being solo, and my
adventures in paradise. This week I sailed from St. Martin to Antigua
on the best transit yet! Follow along on my (not successful) fix of my
traveler (and subsequent jury-rig) and my clearing out process in St.
Martin. I also answer a few more questions about my boat.
The song I sang is a cover of Lost in My Mind by The Head and the Heart

Thanks for watching and subscribing! You guys are the best!
Wow the harmonies with yourself are awesome. I’m binge watching you May 2023. 😁
Please know that the larger CZcams community does understand about the vagaries of internet in far away places. Do not take extra risk for the sake of "the schedule." I am always grateful for the videos I get, schedule or no.
Thank you! I appreciate that :)
@@WindHippieSailingYou are awesome! stay safe out there!
Yes. Howard is correct. Be careful. I don't understand the safety realities of being a girl alone in the Caribbean on a small sailboat, so I can't advise.
You are amazing! I absolutely love your wonderful attitude. You give off such an infectious positivety, it's impossible not to smile whilst watching you. Great stuff 💖
I don't know how I found your channel but I went back to the start and am also binge watching. You are living a dream I have had for years and working on making that a reality. I was a mechanic for years, worked for Chris Craft building them for a bit so as for maintenance and repairs I have the knowledge and experience but never made any real money to put away. Now I drive a truck and the money is good, very good so I am saving up quickly and I have learned much about living in a small space along the way being over the road coast to coast here in the USA for years on end. One day soon the right boat will come into my life and I will start selling off all my music gear and drum kit (Probably keep a Guitar and/or Bass) retire a little early load it up and set out.
Same here. Underrated channel for certain.
Love how humble, and real you are!!
Amen.
A youtube Star is born!!! Your vids are so captivating because you let us into your mind and heart and you are damn fearless! I was hoping to see your carnival outfit though. Be safe!
You're great....truly a classic rare soul...Infinite Blessings
When someone says “ I have a bunch of ridiculous clothes” and you’re like “my people!” 🤪.
I am living my sailing life vicariously through you Holly. Im having a great time!!
Rob Charles; Me too... ;-}
Ditto
The images, the singing, and this incredible story with the British beach party: great episode!! Thank you for going through all this wifi adventure for us 😍
Worth it!
love your singing!!!
That song "lost in my mind" was one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! Made me cry out of just pure emotion
Awesome video young lady. You're amazing and always with a happy face. Thanks and best from HKG
You are beautiful🦋Being you on your boat being you in your heart... keep sharing about your feelings and what’s going on between the head and the heart and please write another song so good thank you!🕊🌷
"...prepping my outfit... gonna go in full, stealth-style...in my pink tutu...under the cover of darkness..." love it!
Stories to tell your grandchildren one day 🙂
The Harmonies are lovely.
What an inspiring young lady ,your energy is awesome enjoying your journey immensely.
Stay safe and love every minute ,life is what you make of it.
Thank you for allowing us to escape the 8 to 5 chains if only for a wee while.
Lots of love from Scotland
Well done young lady, well done. You’re an inspiration to this old guy as we finish up our old boat. My dog Missy and I watch you every week. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for making these amazing videos every week. Impressive. Also, thanks for not taking many minutes of every video to talk about your Patreon, Liking, Subscribing, etc. I don't mind you mentioning it (and plan to become a Patron soon) but its refreshing that half the upload isn't shoving non-content stuff down our throats. You're amazing. Best of luck and I can't wait for future uploads!
This channel is really taking off fast. Good for you. There is something really compelling about a young woman solo sailing around the world. Best of luck to you!
The offer from last week still stands.:-)
I recommended you to all the young women in my life you are great positive influence and here independent can do attitude will be an inspiration to any young woman that sees you and what you accomplished
enjoyed your singing also, sing more, moooor🎵🎶🎼
I love your videos...born in Antigua and grew up in the US and a former US Navy personal. Whenever, I visit, the beaches are the first place to be in the morning. Jealous!
Always makes my Monday better.
Fair winds.
I enjoy your videos every Monday it's like going on the adventures with you
Your videos are awesome! Keep up the good work. I love watching your stuff
Late comer to your videos, and I wish I could have enjoyed the wait between videos... But still having great fun watching them all in a bunch.
Holly, Thank you for making me smile, and I fully appreciate your courage as well. You don't know me but I want you to know I'm proud of you and I feel you are a true human being on a wonderful adventure. Thanks for sharing it with me. All the best! Doug3
Thanks! I'm glad to spread the joy :)
Thank you windhippie. Sail safe
You are my favourite sailor!
I learn from watching you. I'm going to put a sail on my tender after watching your success.
Cheers Gray Australia
Wind Hippie, I hope you buy more errotic vegetables. I like that you are not embarrassed to say what everybody was thinking. I have never seen a YT video where somebody was honest about their thoughts, feelings, fears, and experiences. That is the reason we all go sailing -- to excite and discover our own brains.
You have a lovely voice.
I am planning a very similar solo very small boat - Pearson 26, departing from Kemah, TX (Houston).
Tom
P.S. May I suggest that you rig a simple Rain Water Catcher for additional fresh water.
Awesome song, loved the cool sailing dinghy
I get lost in my mind too! Now I know I ain't the only one! And I love it too!
I loved exploring the coastlines and marinas in my sailing dinghy. I would take something to eat and drink and could be gone for hours and sometimes, all day. Several times I didn't get back to my boat until midnight. Yes, always take your oars with you because things happen. I love sailing and it was more fun in the little boat than the much faster 40' big boat. I hope you continue to use your dinghy sail rig for exploring.
Beats the hell out of rowing, huh?! My favorite episode so far..
Love the sailing dingy.
Such fun videos ... makes every Monday better. I miss my boats (“Avocet” a Victoria 18 in the early 1990’s and “Concordia” a Valiant 32 I sailed from 2002 to 2015) but I am loving this vicarious cruise with you.
I respect your seamanship and self-sufficiency ... both are so necessary. I most admire your attitude and sense of adventure. Stay sweet and keep doing this for as long as its fun!
Great video. My wife and I love watching you.
I can't stop watching...
A tender to row, sail and motor is the perfect tender!
Wow Wow Wow!! You are simply the best! Courageous, resourceful, creative, confident and beautiful as well. Inspirational! The world needs more folks like you.
I admire your courage to sail alone on the open ocean. You are amazing. Keep up the great job.
Good thing you didn’t invite that taxi guy lol stay safe !!!! Great vid i realy enjoy xox
I love following your amazing story. I'm totally living vicariously through you!
windhippie, don't feel like you need to make a new port/anchorage to make an interesting video...it's all good!
Great video Holly! Thanks!
Another great video Holly. I love Mondays now :) keep them coming. Happy sailing. From New Zealand :)
Awesome story, awesome journey!! Love your channel and videos.
Another great video young Mrs. Love&Blessings.
I love how you keep it real and honest.
Thanks! :)
Holly, you are a seasoned Party Animal.
I love how you Pirate your way around the world..
What a wonderful story your telling about your life on the Gego...
Looking forward to the next one..
Sun in your face, and wind at your back...
Arrrr !!!!
Ha ha ha! Love your stealthy side. You love life so much.
Breath of fresh sailing vids. Keep up the great adventures. Dave in Australia.
Nice update. have fun!
I’ve just watched all your videos and have enjoyed them all. Looking forward to following you on your big adventure. Fair winds from Scotland.
As always great video...stay safe!!!
Holly, hello and happy to find your channel. Wow! It's so entertaining and educational and inspiring. I'm not a sailor...yet. Just starting the search for a starter boat that i can learn on in MN. Binging and enjoying. Merci!
Super fun watching all your cool videos! Can’t wait to see how you decorate below decks!
Good job keep up the good work love your videos you are living my dream 💕💕💕💕
Keep living your adventure!!! I look forward to every video. Wish you could post many more.
Thanks Holly another interesting video
Great video. Love the dinghy. Keep it real see you next week , Fair winds and calm seas.
Awesome video, thanks Holly, you rock!!
You are having a great time and it's infectious....and so entertaining too...
Your little sailing dinghy is the best! That song "lost in my mind" is soulful. You have rad tattoos too! Yes ma'am, don't worry, just get lost in your world. :D
You are a free spirit...love it.
Another awesome video.
Good video. Read The depth by sight. You definitely have the ability. I loved the face lighting. We want you to read us a scary pirate story with said lighting. THANK YOU.
Haha spin-off channel: pirate stories with scary face lighting
Sooo... Episode 6, and still no other sign of life on this deserted planet that otherwise looks so much like the Caribbean... But I'm starting to really like it, this time spent on Planet Holly. It's a good time, time well spent. Now, I'm actually dreading that in catching up to Ep 11, I'll suddenly see another person in your videos, or maybe even a dog. I think it would kind of freak me out, and it would also ruin this long streak of being alone, lost in your mind. I also loved the sailing dinghy. I was hoping you would use it to film the Gecko at anchor: I think I've only seen her once from stem to stern, when you did your boat tour. More Gecko, please!
Great video. Enjoy it and relax It’s always a bit of fresh air to see your videos. Cheers and fair winds from Muros in the NW of Spain !!!!
So nice to join you on your journey. Your sailing dingy is very cool. Keep up the good work and keep up the lovely smiles!
I am really enjoying your videos!!!!
Oh chicka, another morning made by you! Sitting with Gertrude the hen in my lap on the porch watching a new day come about. You made it that much better. Gertrude said hello and thanks!
Really enjoyable video. I'm looking forward to more of your videos popping up.
Thats it I'm hooked. Can't wait to see what ya got for us next week.
Dude your videos are so cool. No other way to put it. Thanks for the great content.
Came across your channel about a month ago; and have really grown to enjoy your work (fun). Went to the beginning; and watched all your videos in order. I have followed a lot of sailing channels over the years; but yours is the first that I have placed on my Google home page. Hope to be able to enjoy you for a long time. Happy travels!
Beautiful harmony!
Liked your video. I sailed a lot back in the 60,s
I think it is very fitting that you have a sailing tender / dinghy. Nice one! Thanks for taking us with you .
Just found this channel, I love it, you are amazing doing this on your own. Fairwinds
You would be well advised that the way we make pepper sauce aka hot sauce is verrrrry different from what you may have been accustomed...We have a variety of peppers from mild to super scorching hot...As we say in the West Indies...you could get burnt three times from the same pepper sauce...Mouth, stomach and well you know the other part...Best wishes and Best of weather...and be safe...
beautiful duet!
Awesome video!
Thank you for sharing dear
I give you a lot of credit for doing what you are doing. It's awesome.
Keep up the good work and you will see more good things come your way. I love your videos I can't wait to get my own boat someday. Safe journeys
Hi Holly. Love your videos, attitude, prescence, music... you are an inspirational soul. I have just started cruising with my husband... at age 58. We started to sail 3 years ago and realised the time to live a different life was now! Left UK in March, currently in France, heading for the Med. Much love and fair winds xxx
Yes! that's awesome! It's such an addictive lifestlyle!
Awesomeness! Love the song!!
Love your work...I am a Long Haul trucker and enjoy watching your adventures each week....
Even though I see the land-scape...i am envious of your Sea-scape....The ocean is such a magic place..
Be safe...
Holly,
Great to see your childhood that I remember reading years ago.
Cheers
I binge watched your vids a couple weeks ago. Even all the work in Maine. You are the real deal. All on your own with little money you created a world for yourself. Very cool.... I'll be there with you now on all your adventures. 💟👍
You are such an awesome lady Holly! ⛵⛵⛵
