    I remember hearing about your trip and the rough start with officials trying to stop you...now to see this trip from you and your boat....JUST INCREDIBLE!! It truly makes you wonder big time about your time on this planet....in such a good way...the boat just sailing in the middle of the ocean is soooo beautiful, even as small mountains of water surround you, you are amazing!

    This girl shows some serious IQ. Since her tender seven years of age soaking up a lot of knowledge about navigation, boat design, engines, sails, weather systems, geography, telecommunications, swimming... And her social skills, the way she can get along with a lot of people from so different backgrounds, understand them, are notable...In her interviews she shows herself articulate, down to earth, the way she asseses situations and persons with a maturity far beyond her age is impressive. And yes she speaks at least three languages, plays guitar and flute, rides uncycles. And she's valiant and cute. I'm impressed

      And to think how people in NL went bonkers over how "she should be in school". Same things that are being screamed about Greta Thunberg, these days. Apparently, kids need to be held back everywhere and always. Especially when those kids are girls.
      Notice that the flag on Guppy changed from the Dutch one to the one of New Zealand, in this video. I remember that there was stuff in the newspapers about that. Legal reasons of course, but if it was also meant as a one finger salute to the Dutch authorities, oh, yes, the message landed ;-)

      Not from seven years of age, but from when she was born. She is a true "live-aboard". This is one of the very best sailing films I have seen, capturing very well the waves, wind and how the boat is sailed; photographs and videos often don't do justice to the power of the sea. Laura's mastery of seamanship, both externally and psychologically, looks outstanding. Her favourite perch (on the nav table) is perhaps unique, but gives her a perfect view of what is going on. I'm so glad that she now lives on such a superb new "Guppy" and further inspires young people.

    yes... this particular video is definitely ALL ABOUT SAILING! i really got it much better this time. the first time it challenged me because i was use to the more calm and fanciful atlantic and pacific crossings - especially the pacific one. it was nice to see you smiling so well in the midst of some of those really harsh looking waves. it really showed me how much this is really in your blood, the consciousness of how you are as a person. you are no fluke. you were really demonstrating a sense of unity in motion with the forces of the ocean. you are someone worthy of appreciation. it is obvious that you did not do this for fame... you did all of this to confirm within yourself just who it is that you are. thanks for allowing us to witness and appreciate your self validation.

    I have always loved just watching the waves go by .. usually on a good day of wind.. but other days too. It's exciting and sometime on calmer but good days it's hypnotic. I love it all .. but if the sails are up please have some wind to keep them full. Thank you for all your great long moments videoed showing the fun and might of the sea and yours and Guppys time with it.

    Dear Laura, thank you very much for your videos, which I watch avidly!! I live in Switzerland and the sea is something alien to me. When I see the swells of the ocean in your videos, I honestly get quite scared! I don't know anything about sailing. I loved your documentary Maidentrip and because I felt so inspired by it.... I took a sailing lesson ... on the lake of Zurich!
    I love seeing the ocean and you filmed the videos in a way that I feel like I'm on the boat myself. Really lovely! When you say Guppy was knocked down...do you mean she capsized? Lots of love, Barbara

    Did you sail straight through ? Many stop at Madagascar . It would be so hard to prepare for a knockdown. Everything flies and you can't be in the wrong place. You might need to put a strap on top of your books ? And you fly ! The channel Delos had the biggest storm I've seen, so far, in the Indian. Your "hydrovane" (I realize there are different brands) is a life saver, I'll definitely have one . I'm wondering if I can have a auto pilot and hydrovane on the boat, disengage one to use the other ? There are some crazy reefs and poor charts for that ocean.
