    “Sun pushing the darkness out of the sky.” Do you have any idea how riveting that is? You just made a thing into an action. A beautifully expressed action. You’re a writer. And not just a writer. But a great writer. Your narration could stand alone as written pieces. You’re a story teller.

    Absolutely loved the Dominica video! Your spirit of adventure, your confidence, skills, your delightful sense of humor, your discipline, and your physical and mental strengths are all very inspiring and so very commendable. You're an amazing woman! Thanks for sharing this beautifully narrated journey. ♡

    The best sailing channel on CZcams. Love the pic at 3:30 where you're holding your oatmeal with your eyes barely open. That's what 20 minute shifts look like.

    This video pair feels really personal, quite distinct from your usual diaries. I really like it.

    Good morning Holly, I absolutely love your videos. I lived solo aboard my yacht for 20 years from the late 80s. no previous experience. Before you were even born I think. No internet, satnav needed 3 satellites which took several hours to get a transit. and all paper charts or memory. Only took the occasional photo.. I envy your carefree confidence . Now I'm reliving the whole adventure thru your vids. Thank you. I wish you well . Stay safe and live long.

  • @stevenwillis2362
    @stevenwillis2362 Před 4 lety +1

    I have avidly followed and enjoyed all of your videos. As someone who had a sailing adventure for a few years before life intervened (and who is very much hoping to get off the hard very soon!), I watch far too many sailing vlogs, and I must say that yours is one of the most informative and entertaining. The two part sailing video is far and away my favorite. Sailing, being at sea, is what I loved most about the sailing lifestyle and what I am most looking forward to experiencing again. Your "Day in the life of" perfectly captured the best part of sailing. Thank you so very much for sharing.

  • @timhardman4764
    @timhardman4764 Před 5 lety +5

    I really enjoyed your 2 part, day in the life of Wind Hippy…but I also like all of your other videos too!
    The fantasy channels with the million dollar Cats and buffed crew are fun to watch but they really are just fantasies.
    Your content is so down to earth…grounded (maybe those are bad words for a sailor) but you know what I mean…authentic…real. It’s all about the sailing and the adventure and getting by with less but still having the full experience. What you offer seems attainable for the masses as far as the investment goes but I for sure realize it takes more than a little money to do what you are doing. You also worked your butt off with the renovation/refit and you already had a ton of sailing experience which gives you the confidence and ability to do what you are doing.
    Your channel is unique in a very good and very rare way.

    • @WindHippieSailing
      @WindHippieSailing  Před 5 lety +2

      Wow thanks so much! Love the grounded thoughts haha. I worked for a sailing company once that went bankrupt. I told my friends that it 'went under'. Wrong choice of words haha
