I am currently cruising around Panama and waiting to see if the South Pacific opens up so I can go through this season.

I am a 28-year-old female solo sailor beginning my circumnavigation. My boat is a 27-foot-long 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. Follow my bi-weekly blog on : windhippie.com
Thanks for watching and subscribing! You guys are the best!
I will sail around the horn before paying Panama 2k. You do such a great job, I wish you well.
There was a date she missed when rate doubled she could have gotten away with 1000
Finally I got reception to watch it! Thanks for having me with you on this epic canal crossing! Miss u 😘
Amazing what friends and ingenuity can accomplish! 🤩😲
Brovo girl! What a great adventure. The little boat that could. Hope this message finds you well and can"t wait to hear your adventure in the Pacific continue when the world stops holding in place. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
I've seen several CZcamsrs do this now but I laughed at your awesome tire scavenging skills. Well done, how symbolic there was a gecko in your tire!
Great video. Great friends! 😊👍
Reusing the tires endeared you to me... The hand crank engine made me fall in love.
Hi great video I am currently planning my sailing the world very soon
My wife is from Panama and I have lived there off and on for about 10 years. We are currently in the states due to Covid restrictions in Panama but this brought back memories of the great life in Panama. Fished a lot in the canal and Lake Gatun, returning to Panama in a few months.
Another great video, thanks. And thanks to Tish.
You killed the crossing. Hats off to you.
What an adventure! You will NEVER forget this for as long as you live.
Jan H. Maaso she died. So she didn't remember this for very long.
@@donvandamnjohnsonlongfella1239 for a dead person she looks pretty good in the video she posted 13 days ago. idiot.
I’m so happy as an old hippie to see your happily peaceful transit of the canal. 💪🏼🤙🏼
Calm seas and fair winds Holly :)
For such an old engine, it performed great, trotling at full speed trough canal was awesome 💪
I love car tire fenders. I saved all my tires from my van for my fenders.
Spectacular. And very informative.
Be Free! Glad u had THE best Norwegian ever around (again) Cheers Thomas! 👍👍⛵
you're not cheap, you are very resourceful... Panama... Mate, that's a milestone... Well done you...
You are not cheap. You are frugal. There is a big difference!
Awesome. Watched the whole thing. Well done...
Gosh Holly glad you had all that help
Holly, Your a legend. Love your spirit. Go Girl
this was awesome to see. I went thru in the eighties on "small boat day". everyone thought it must be so cool. haha it was a night mare and we were on ninety five foot boat. also went thru at night time so wasn't much to see. pilots wanted coke cola and cheese burgers all night long.
well done!
Great story telling Wind Hippie. You're awesome!!!
Interesting to see the Sea Tramp crew. 👍🙂
Found this by chance and absolutely enjoying it , have a lot of catching up to do , keep up the good and interesting episodes
You are my new hero.
Please be safe on your journey.
This was a Great video 👍Years ago I was Station near U.S. Army base Fort Clayton, Panama close to the canal. Seen boats enter the canal, but never see one go all the way through . Thanks for Posting this video 👍🍷🍾
Holly, you're just the best!
You is the best. Congrats from Brazil!
Great episode, thanks
Awesome passage through the Panama Canal, and Werth every penny of it !!!
An experience of a lifetime !!!
Well done Captain Holly !!!!
ARRRR !!!
Great times ahead Holly
Stay healthy and keep up the great work
Do you ever, ever doubt your ability to do what you set your mind to? Never lose that ability
Best and most informative regarding some details about recent transfers not on cruise ship!
So cool, Holly.
God Bless you little Holly Wishing you all the best !!
Wow !! What an incredibly resourceful young woman you are. Fearlessly negotiating foreign red tape is a skill even many old salts still tremble thinking about. Your cheerful bravery and determination is inspiring.
I am glad to see you living your dream before you settled down with a family.
I watch a few sailing channels and came across yours. I have subbed and am now going back to watch more. Your attitude, honesty and ability to sail alone for days at a time in a small vessel amazes me. Of course your sense of humor is the glue that keeps it all afloat in my opinion. These are hard times we are in and watching your vids gives a welcome escape.
You got lucky with your crew and especially your advisor. The tire stash at the beginning was a good omen of your following luck. If only all canal crossings where so easy . Not allare so lucky. Keep hold of this vibe as it will serve you well in the not always peaceful Pacific. Good luck and great vlog.
This was really great. I know that you are stuck and waiting around until things open up, but for those of us stuck at home - this is such a breath of fresh air!
I love the detail about the process of getting through the canal. Good info if I plan on going this way.
Holly, you are an unbelievable person!
Amazing job Holly!
Brava Lady! You are fantastic! I'm blown away.
Such an uplifting experience
Fantastic YT Channel, none of the show off stuff from other channels

You were fortunate to have so much "Good" help girl. Good job.

Very informative! 👍👍⛵⚓⛵
Well done! Very nicely managed and very gracious too!
You are such a brave adventures young lady Holly setting a good example. Keep it up and fair winds.
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing such a cool experience.
So inspiring. Thanks for taking us with you on your transit. Be well.
Brilliant..What an inspirational woman you are.
I spent many months on the pacific, the flying fish are amazing! Whales are very cool.
Great job, Holly!
That was SO interesting. Thank you for sharing!
I never seen this process before so thank you so much for showing the whole process!
Luck follows the Good!
Well done!
Fantastic! Thanks for the video!

I'm way behind but I love living vicariously through your adventures!
Wow! Cheers Holly, what a cool experience, nothing but joy do I feel.
Congratulations for going through the canal!
Feeling like I could do anything now - and that it will be fun. Keep safe and entertained in the Pearl Islands - thanks a lot for sharing the Panama Experience!
What an adventure, thx for sharing. 👍
Yay Holly and Team Holly! Hope all are well!
Thankyou for the video Holly, it was very entertaining and informative. There is a way round most things if one tries. I hope you have many happy adventures in the Pacific.
Grateful for your friends for their assistance 🌹🌹
Awesome job sharing and explaining how you did Canal passage. Very encouraging to all in the future.
I love your videos, Holly! Great work hustling up those tires and lines to get through the canal. I hope you get to cross the Pacific soon too. Keep us all posted, we are rooting for you.
Wow, what an adventure!!! Thank you
Way to go Holly ! Thanks for a fun video, my doubts are quelled !
Great video on the crossing through the canal. Happy sailing on your way around the world. ❤️🤙
Hi Holly ,thanks for that video , i think it was one of your coolest , it's so nice to see it from that perspective.
Thank you for sharing your experince of transitting the Canal! Great, informative vid! Fair winds and light waves, Holly!
Thanks Holly that was a great video. Well done on being such a good sailor too!!
Holy that was fantastic, it gives me hope for making it through the canal on my small boat. Good luck safe travels as soon as the lockdown eases up.
You are doing a great job. Thank you for sharing this with us and the cost of the travel through the canal. Be safe and good sailing.
Good evening. A very significant transition from ocean to ocean. Cool.
You are living life, very brave. Stay safe and keep enjoying your travels. Love watching your videos.
Yep. Definitely worth watching the whole video: very informative. I've never seen a boat or ship go through the canal before. This was cool to see.
Wonderfully informative video. Really helpful to see an example of someone avoiding the hireage of tyre fenders and docklines and also transiting the canal without an agent. Thanks
Great video. Where there is a will there is a way. Well done.
Great video. Well done.
Well done Holly! You have an indomitable spirit! Wish you the best in your voyaging. Cheers
Great video Holly. Ive watched a few others go through the canal on larger boats, but it was great to see your perspective from a smaller boat and keeping to a lower budget.
wow ..learned lots. Panama will become my home base this winter, also been there many times ,that I can feel the breeze and the humidity .Great video, maybe the best about cruising the canal of Panama !!!
Congrats!
That looks like a great experience. Good video.
I enjoyed the video. A lot of good information. Thank you so much. Be safe out there. Peace
Really nice video!!!! A great adventure, Good luck and stay safe!!!!
I just found your videos a couple weeks or so ago and have I've watched all of them up to this point and loving the adventure you're on. Anyway, I wanted to let you know I went through the Panama Canal in 1966 aboard the Navy ship on was stationed on. We went from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans and went through the same locks you did. Your voyage is a heck of a lot more of an adventure then mine was, lol. You are the real deal. Best of luck on the rest of you adventure and I'll be watching (from the safety of my chair here at home, lol)
Fantastic,well done.
