- IM BACK! After a 7 month hiatus, im finally back! I went through 6 months of non stop rain in California, and some personal losses in my family. It’s been a tough few months but I’m finally back where I am the happiest, on the BOAT! In this video I attempt to fix a patch in my dinghy, and then get the pups ready to go out for a sail! I am a little rusty but we back out of the slip okay! After getting the boat ready and feeling the joy of sailing and feeling the sunshine and the wind again, I debate whether or not to risk sailing my boat and flying a drone at the same time! I see a bunch of dolphins and birds. The wind stops blowing so I turn the boat around and head back in, passing a ton of boats. Kiki enjoying watching some lady’s row and a ton of people paddle board! At the end I send up my drone so you can see how I dock the boat!
So make sure to subscribe to see more Solo Sailing videos. Next I’ll be headed to Newport harbor. If you made it to the bottom of the description, please leave me a comment and let me know because I will respond to you!

Your enthusiasm is infectious! Wish I was as young as you and had the energy you have. I'm sorry to see you had "drone" blood catching it.
I'm proud to see you are so skilled to sail a 31 foot boat by yourself!
So glad to see you back captain. You are on the best place to cheer up wich is on your boat with your puppies. Have fun and stay safe.
Yes! Boat and pups make everything better! Thank you! 😊
Yes puppy 🐶
Hard to believe your docking and flying your drone at the same time. Awesome
Haha as soon as I got 2 lines on I went and flew it down! Luckily it just stays in one spot!
So talented 😍
What’s a little blood 4 a good drone shot! Thanx 4 the drone shots! We luv U 4 ut! 👍❤️
Haha worth it for the shot 😂
Wow just found ur channel, and I'm smiling big time, u are such a buzz Woman, best fun, and love ur awesome personality. The way u teach us and explain what ur doing is really well done, thanks for sharing 🇦🇺🤪🐕🐶puppies are best. 🐾
Thank you!! You’re so kind! I agree puppies are the best 😊
Quite the expert Captain Christa!
Thank you!
Glad to see you back, I find boating helps with coping with personal losses. My wife and I also have our boat in Dana Point, we love the harbor and back anchorage, We pass your boat all the time and look for you and your cute dogs. We have two smaller dogs also, Hope to say hi sometime. Love your solo sailing
I agree! It’s definitely helpful! If you ever see me please feel free to say hi 😊 that’s so cool what boat do you have?
@@CaptainChrista We have a fishing boat, a Parker 2510.
Nice to see you back, Christa, and sorry to hear of your loss. Nice job single handing out of the outlet! Best to you,
Thank you! I appreciate you both! ⛵️⛵️😊 woohoo! Glad to be back! Thank you for the kind words Obie and Laurie!
I was just looking you up the other day to see if it was the algorithm pulling you from my thread… glad you are back in the water😊😊😊
I’m back in the water! Woohoo!
Oh wow you are back! I was about to ask via Email what was the matter :) yay now to watch the episode ^^
Thank you for the email! I am back and so happy to be here! 😊😊😊
glad you are back and doing well
Thank you! Glad to be back!
I am greatfulfor you!!!
Aww thank you!
Really cool video, cudo's to you, great single sailing ! Your drone footage was wonderful. Can't wait to see your next video.
Great save on the drone, you did that like a Pro! I’m so glad to see you’re back & you’re okay. I hope you’ll be sailing & doing lots of videos, I really do enjoy the way you’re explaining how to make things happen, it’s understandable! ❤
Haha thanks! It was my first time doing that 😂 I am going to be doing a ton of sailing! Thank you for the kind comment!
I am so glad your back, i missed seeing your videos,now I get too look forward to Thursdays again
Thank you!!! I’m so happy to be back!
Nice to see you back! :)
You may have done this already, but in case you haven't, you could try cleaning the luff groove in the mast and lubricate it with dry PTFE. I had a hard time getting the mainsail up on my similarly sized boat. Had to winch the last third, and even that was hard work. But after a good clean and lube, it is a fraction of the effort and I can now hoist it all the way to the top by hand and just use the winch to tighten the luff up.
Good job getting out skipper. ✌🏻🍻
Thank you!
Welcome back!!
THANK YOU :)
Doing ocean donuts sounds cool af to me.
Hahaha it was fun!
😃👍👍👍❤ You look very nice facing the sun in that black semi see through top! Great drone footage.
Oh my gosh lol!
Outstanding !!
Thank you!
Your channel helped me finally make the leap and get my own boat before you took your break! Glad to have new uploads!
Wow this is the coolest thing I’ve heard!! What boat did you get? How exciting!!!
@@CaptainChrista 1976 Westsail 32, she’s down in Mission Bay. It’s been a journey so far let me tell ya 😅
Im sorry you have been having problems. Take care of yourself. I just found your channel, so im looking forward to more videos. I would so love to do what youre doing. I dont think i could live on a boat full time tho. But it would be a great way to save money.
I’m doing good now! Back to making videos and enjoying life 🙌🏼 thank you for the kind words!
You made it look easy! Curious where all your knowledge comes from? I'm teaching myself how to solo sail up in Bodega Bay and it ain't easy. Well impressed with your confidence!
Thank you! I have took some classes and learned from family!
do you ever sail north to the SF Bay area?
Congrats on your sailing journey. I’ve had an H310 for 15+ years now and see you trying and learning rather than sitting on the sidelines waiting for the “perfect”. None of us are perfect in our skills, but I like how you go for it and take the experience and move on.
Haha thank you!! That’s how I feel it’s like I’m never going to be perfect so why try.. I’d rather get out there and sail and enjoy myself
Seriously, I've had the H310 15+ yrs and have tackled most of her gremlins DIY. If you're working on an issue and want some input, please reach out.@@CaptainChrista
Hopefully you will start sailing around the world soon! I really enjoy how detailed your videos are. All the existing sailing channels just skip everything involved in operating the boat. I love learning from you. Keep up the awesome videos and focus on investing your energy in your life and passions.
I hope so too! And thank you so much for all the kind words! I’m glad you enjoy what I do!! 😊😊
What a lovely surprise when I saw you pop up on my CZcams page. Welcom back.
Thank you! Glad to be back!
Miss your great energy and positive way. Glad to see you raise your sail captain Christa:) great job editing must took some time.
It was great to raise the sail!!! Thank you!
Happy you are back, Sorry to hear about your loss. Looking forward to more vids from you, as always a big thumbs up for you and welcome back.
Thank you! Glad to be back !!!
Glad you’re back. I thought you weren’t going to do CZcams anymore. Life happens and I am glad you have returned to the sea. Sailing is great therapy and reminds us what is important in life. And that drone catch was epic. You should’ve shown it multiple times in slow motion! Girl power!
I am so glad to be back!! I’m getting better with the drone lol new video soon! I’m excited to be back on the sea! Thank you for the kind words!
Snatching the drone was insane! Not sure if catching on the foredeck was an option but then you could use the sails as protection. My God what a catch though. Mad sailing skills too,
Hahaha thank you! It was an intense moment for sure 😂😂
@@CaptainChrista I had to watch it twice.
If this weather ever straightens out maybe try an overnight out to Coronado rodes. It'd be like a mini Catalina trip...but not really.
negativity is a biotch lol don't let it put a damper on your love for sailing. get out there and enjoy yourself.
Honestly! It can such so much joy out of people, I’m not letting negativity take any more of my joy! I’m gonna enjoy life it’s too short anyway!
Put a glove on next time to protect your fingers when you catch the drone- well done BTW!
Ohh that’s a good idea!! Thanks!
Podder! ♥ T1D stinks, Glad to see other sailors are like me. Keep going.
Pod and Dexcom! Are you diabetic and a sailor too? That’s so cool!! 😊😊
I'm glad to see you back.

Fantastic to see you back!
THANK YOU :)
Great to see you are back! Absolutely love these vids
Thank you! Glad to be back!
Glad you're Back. I must admit I left thinking you quit and I was lucky to see a comment you made. Have fun you went through a rough patch. Sorry and can't wait for the next video.
I’m glad to be back! I learned a lot over the last few months but I’m not letting that keep me down! Next video coming soon! 😊
HELLO FROM AUSTRALIA!! wow thats a nice boat you have. you are doing something right in live to have such a nice yacht at such a young age. stay beautiful :)
WOW HELLO FROM USA! I’ve always wanted to go to Australia! Thanks for your kind comment 😊
@@CaptainChrista if you make it down here you are welcome to come sailing and to our sailing club 😄
I about gave up on you, glad to see you back!
im so happy to be back!!
Great to see you back out on the water. LOL. That drone is going to end up in the drink, even with your cat like reflexes. Experiment on land with a small diameter plastic rod under the drone that is attached with Velcro . You may have to turn the obstacle avoidance sensors off. I haven't even worked up the courage to fly my Autel Evo drone off of my little sailboat yet. Good luck.
Hahah I’m definitely going to lose it 😂😂😂 but for now it works! It’s hard to be moving and retrieve it but so far it’s still on land 😂
Thanks!
Thank you ⛵️⛵️⛵️🙌🏼🙌🏼 I appreciate your kindness!
Amazing😃 👍 nice👌
Thank you!
You do a great job with the videos..The detailed narration is second to none😅😅
Thank you! 😊
I'm so glad you are OK. I love your videos, have fun 😊
Glad to be back! Thank you!
Hi my friend. Glad you worked thru your personal difficulties. Life is a balancing act of compassion for others, while not losing sight of yourself. Wish I understood that when I was your age 😂. I solo sail in SoCal too, and I have done a few donuts myself. Maybe we’ll cross paths. Looking forward to your next trip, stay safe.
Haha yes I’ve learned that over the last few months! Omg haha well if you see a boat out there going in circles it’s probably me 😂😊 where are you out of! I’m planing on going to Catalina soon!
@@CaptainChrista I’m in San Diego. Hoping to get to Catalina before year end, but wife has medical issues so who knows.
Nice to see you are back.
Thank you!
Love your show. Happy to see you on back. Love the so cal content
Thank you! I appreciate the kind comment 😊
Welcome back :) Hope to see more vids in the future. Stay safe and always have fun.
Thank you!! 😊
in love.....with you sail swagg....
Haha sail swaggg
Missed you!
Glad to be back 😊
omg I saw your message this morning and it made my day because I knew there was a new video waiting! Yay! Welcome back Christa!
I’m so glad!! I’m back and here to stay! Woohoo!
Great to see you back!
Great to be back!
Welcome back C. C.!
Thank you!! 😊😊
Hey, glad to see you back! Just FYI, it is actually illegal to fly a pirate flag on a marine vessel.
What!!! NO WAY is it really????
@@CaptainChrista You might be ok in the US, but this was in Croatia we tried to do it and almost got a ticket. But, Based on the Article 17 of the 1958 High Seas Convention, you're at a lot more risk of getting approached and boarded if you have it out. So, I'd be careful while flying it while sailing. If you're moored or anchored or in your slip, I'm sure it'd be no issue.
Where did you get your knowledge from ? Very cool to see you doing this on your own, and very impressive. I worry about thinks in my Pontoon in my little lake lol
Haha I have been sailing for a while! I enjoy the champagne and adventure of it
Welcome back, so good to see you.
Thank you! 😊
you have such a beautiful spirit , its wonderful to see you back on youtube , and to know that you are alright .
Thank you so much! im back! :)
@@CaptainChrista you surly have been missed , and glad to have you back Captain Christa.
Yay!! Welcome back….to your own channel. We have missed you E’l Capitano!
Yay, thank you! ive missed this so much!
Life and sailing.. "sometimes you do donuts"
Hahaha the new motto 😂
Welcome back!
Thank you!
It been a while since we seen you for sure.
Hope all is well with you. I was hoping you would be on here longer but that’s okay. I would love to be out there with you.
I’m glad to be back!
Awsome video. Yeah the drones are tricky when not use to them . That's my plan is a catalina trip.
When are you heading to Catalina!
@@CaptainChrista I'm thinking a couple weeks. Have to finish a couple projects first. You know how boat life goes fix one find 4 more things that need it
Honestly!!! 😭 lol
Sorry to hear that you've had some family issues, but welcome back. I love your videos!
Thank you so much! im so happy to be back!
keep the videos coming. should do a trip to catalina islands some time.
Soon!! Catalina here I come!
That was an awesome catch! Was that Point Loma in the background?
Thank you!! I’m not sure but I don’t think so haha
Hey, glad you're back up and running!
Me too! thank you!
I see some people glue/ epoxy a lightweight stick or pipe to the bottom of their drone to make it easier to catch and keep their hands away from the finger munchers. 🤕
This is actually a great idea!!!!
@@CaptainChrista If it were me I would glue/epoxy a nut to the bottom of the drone then you could screw in a piece of lightweight (aluminium?) threaded bar which could be removed when you are going to land on terra firma.
Thanks for this video . Have you thought about sailing to the Channel Islands? I know you sailed to Catalina already. I will put that on my bucket list after I get my 27ft sailboat. PS. Dont ever let negative people take away your joy. Life is to short
Yes!! I’m definitely wanting to sail to the Channel Islands, it’s on my bucket list! Probably another Catalina trip first and some harbor hopping!
@@CaptainChrista Nice
drone super yacht
Hahahaha
Wow. You made that look easy, but pretty sure it was not!
It was a calm day! Thank you 😊
Those drones are a pain. I don't know any DJI Drone flyers that hasn't lost one. The Splash Drone is the best water option, but they can cost like $1500 to 2k.
I haven’t lost one yet knock on wood 😂 yeah maybe one day I’ll get one but not anytime soon that’s so expensive!
Hey Capt;
How u doing sis?
Haven't u quite sometimes ♥️🌹👍💪😘
IM GOOD! Its been way too long I am so excited to be making videos again! How are you doing?
You have a (three is company )feel on your content intro 😅. Its an old tv show...
I’ll have to look it up!
Like the piercings.😂
Hahah thanks
Molto bene Pope'.
Thank you!
Come sailing to my island.. Tioman Malaysia
Wow!!
I LOVE YOU
THANK YOU
Hi…what brand/model drone did you use in this video? Thanks
DJI 2 I think
Do they tax you on the berth and sailboat at your marina? Thank you and stay safe.
What?
Yes, had a sailboat on treasure Island in SF payed the berth to the marina, then payed a berth tax and boat VALUE tax to the City and county of San Francisco, like to know how it is in your area like Dana,Newport, Or long Beach area?, thank you.
Let's see what we can do about getting you a drone
One that is waterproof 😂
Will do Capt
💕
I found one on the internet that lands on water and will do your fishing for you
Awesome i always wanted to do my own drone shots. how long did you practise before taking it out. I've never used one.
Ha ha ha my friend Kenyon would yell at me but I have flow a drone maybe 5 times total 😂😂😂
Why don’t you leave the dock lines on the pier and they are ready to go when you return?
Because I need them
what is that patch you wear?
Insulin pump!
