Thanks for watching and subscribing! You guys are the best!
“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.
I recently found your channel and I’m binge watching it now I love your sense of humour its great.
Great videos ! I have watched alot of different channels but i am a VERY simple sailor and i love to see someone similar , Not plastic, so to speak
You have the best sense of humor! I love your "deep thoughts at sea" :-)
Only one word needed to sum up you, your attitude, your sense of humour and your lifestyle choices, “awesome”.
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. ♡
Thanks!! :)
So impressed by your attitude and skill. You are inspiring!
Couldn't agree more, what a great channel!
I have a request. Could you please create a playlist containing all the videos in chronological order so that I can binge watch? :)

Good one... it reminded me Seneca's “There is no favorable wind for the sailor who doesn’t know where to go”
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.
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.
Wow thank you so much! This makes me happy 😊
Your experience is amazing and I'm watching your videos with the conclusion that you are great sailor.
Your Personality is Magnetic !!! You are truly one of a kind.. I am a fairly new subscriber and You amaze me with every upload I watch... Looking forward to watching older uploads as well as keeping up with you on your journey as it continues... Thank you for Great Content with a Great Personality .......
You are so cool, love the fact that you are so independent and adventurous. Thanks for sharing.
I'm the same oatmeal for breakfast one pot one spoon to wash, lunch can of chili, eat it out of the can one spoon to wash! keep it simple! Love your video's!
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.
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
I'm glad you did these two videos. It really gave me an idea of life is like. I enjoyed learning about your ethic of tidying up the boat first and see you actually do it.
Thanks!
You're killin it! I look forward to all my Mondays now!
Love your vignettes. Life should be lived and your certainly doing just that. And living large which so few do. So yes wonderfully inspirational. Cheers and may your luff remain full.

great videos , you are the first woman solo sailor i had seen on youtube , safe journey ,,, from Northern Ireland
Your living the dream. I hope to be in your shoes sometime soon. Thanks for giving us the rundown on your daily. very helpful for us first timers still learning the ways of the sea.
That was GREAT, seeing your process for bringing down your sails... etc. Was fantastic. I am so amazed you do this alone! I hesitate to take my 19 footer out alone.. you inspire kiddo!! Thanks very much.. so many videos have lost the SAILING part of sailing videos.
Even watching you do your thing with the sails and how you wrapped your lines was educational for me. I like to see that stuff. Thank you!
i dont think Ive ever been on a sail boat. but fun to watch what you do. you got a new subscriber.
Love watching your videos Holly , so funny and inspiring . What a brave young lady to do this all alone. Fair winds my lovely x Stay safe x
I like your sense of humor! You are a cool chick! Keep up sailing
You're amazing, I absolutely love your vlog.
Great video. Your stories are great. Like your voice and attitude. Amazing work ethic. Thank you so very much for posting.
Great video!

Great vid! I enjoy your jokes and sense of humor.
Great video after great video. So very impressed.
"would a female drywaller, be a walress"? Your hilarious Chiquita. Thanks for ur videos. Keep them coming. Your great to watch.
Captain Holly Keep your videos going. Fun to watch.
Doing a great job. You take good care of Gheko.
Really enjoyed your video
Look forward to your videos every week. My little boat tangled with a tornado a few years back and it lost, so I have to live vicariously from other's adventures. Besides, I've been retired nearly ten years, so about all I can do now is watch videos. Thanks for entertaining me.
Thank you so much for making your videos. You inspire me, my goal is to learn to sail and get a boat and start sailing single-handed. Keep up the great work.
thanks for sharing your video, you are an inspiration.
Just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. You are awesome!
Your musings at sea-- and the creative way you found to share it- not quite sure how you pulled that off---:) reveals once again your creativity and sense of fun. Do you enjoy a sunny disposition generally! Really enjoyed the 2 part video! You planned Q & A is brilliant.
Keep up the good work love your videos at least you're is about Sailing
That was worth the wait young lady. Thank you so much for sharing those moments with us. Very impressed indeed. Love your attitude for an American 😏 I am the same but French 😉 Thanks for sharing and best from hot HKG 🇭🇰
What lovely videos. I lived aboard for ten years up and down the Islands…only happy memories😁😁
Well done young lady. Well done.
