- I have three more days of solo sailing to get to Australia. It's the final push. I battle fatigue as I try to get through the Great Barrier Reef to make it in before the next system hits

Hey as a 70yr old Dad, Granddad, and now Great-Grandad, who has gone down to the sea in boats, I am in awe of you, young woman, Long may you rosperper,
Thanks!:)
I agree. I too am envious of her solo adventures. I daydream about what she actually is doing and why I became a patron, at least one of us gets to do it.
Hey Holly hope you're good how about creating an album of all the best tunes used across the videos, that would be nice to have , see you on the next one
Who is rosperper?
@@christyler5722 I think he meant to type prosper.
Holly, most people have no idea how challenging those windward sailing days are. Bouncing in your bunk when you try to sleep, the constant jolting, spray and mist file air. You are a mighty sailer. I don’t envy you because I’ve done a lot of long passages too. I’m glad I’m to old for that any more. But I admire your “guts.”
Welcome to Australia Holly!
Im still reeling from your last vid , 50' from a ship . Fastnet 79 survivor here , you are awesome girl !
Everyone in the comments section claims they are a Fastnet 79 survivor.
@@TOMVUTHEPIMPyawn . Check lifeboat 70-001 log at lundy island on the 14th smart mouth , the vessel was yacht mauritimus.
Damn you must have some crazy stories!
Have you figured out why your (or presumably their) AIS alarm did not go off?
@@WindHippieSailingnot really , that was one storm I'll never forget though , we were lucky . Sailed a few big blows since but nothing like that . I seriously admire what you do , you are some sailor . Love from Wales UK .
Bravo to Rolly Tasker for supporting Wind Hippie!!!
You’re a brave human. Thanks for taking us along
Of all the sailing channels I follow your abilities and courage always amaze me!
I've followed you from the beginning when you became a sailor, I was impressed then and I am still impressed.,, but I'd rather face the taliban than do what your doing. Sailing in a little boat on a large ocean. Love it.
You are her parent that took her on board their ocean sailing journey when she was a small child? Because that's where she became a sailor, I guess, and that's where she learnt what and when to fear, but especially when not. As she demonstrates in these videos.
I hope you are keeping an extensive journal so you can publish it someday. You are an amazing and very profound individual.
Fair winds and Vyas con Dios.
Australia is a very expensive country even for us Australians. glad to see you got here safe and sound .
Hiya Holly... I've been occasionally visiting your channel just over a year or so. I spent a week on a 45' Catamaran a few years back and when I was younger I crewed on Morgan 41 in the great lakes. Crossing Oceans on a 27ft boat would scare the shit out of me! You are such a brave person. I got nothin' but respect for ya! Mean it! ❤
And So the Pendulum Swings
Halcyon Days Are Here Again
Enjoy Each Moment ❤

Another epic sail. Well done for coping with sleep deprivation, strong winds and 95k subs! Great videos.
awesome video& sailor. Good Heath continued successes.
Hi Holly glad you made it safe to Australia, Geck was really pounding those waves, you sure are a special person, may you always have fair winds❤
You`ve become an iconic Wind Hippy. The very very model...etc
I love the sound of your boat sailing along through wind and waves. I realize it was`t too restful being bumped around, frequent stabs of anxiety, but its a blissful sound. I`m going to listen to bits of it again.
Fantastic video, awesome music! You’re the bravest woman I know! 👍🙏🌎
It's dope you have the skills to run that boat all by yourself and the courage to conquer the oceans! Hands clapping hats off to you!!! Inspiring!!
Hey bud great sail , I sailed in to Maggi to years ago 🎉 pretty cool horseshoe bay .yay
Wow that was such as awesome video, thanks. But also well done to you, you did a monster passage in tough conditions but despite how tired you were you managed the boat so well, and also produced some great footage with the big seas ocean passage vibe continuously going on in the background!! I hope the customs guys cooperated with your inspection plan.
You're such a brave woman doing what you do on your own love watching your videos your smile and personality can make anyone smile when feeling down with your very pretty smile👏
Awesome passage. I have only been following you since the Solomon Islands. I am impressed by anyone who takes on the passages solo.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. It has been said, but it bares repeating.
YOUR FRICKIN AWSOME.
Congrats on your most recent safe passage
What an Amazing passage Holly. Cannot imagine the courage and determination it took to hang in there and trust your skills and capacity to make it all the way! Huge congratulations to you and the Geck! I am now a fair weather sailor in my 18 ft sailboat and fine with that at 64. I enjoy watching your journey. Thank you for sharing your videos with us.
I feel for you watching this. It’s not easy sailing up there. So good to see ‘Land-ho’ after such a tough trip.❤
Congratulations on Australia from Pensacola.
Beautiful picture of the moon thanks for sharing
Another great video, looks like you have figured out how to make your sails work better for you , I just received my new Rolly/Tasker main sail with 2 reefs , so I’m excited to get it on the boat & go sailing ⛵️ 😊
I'm happy for your safe passage. The rough weather and your sail change regime made me even more confident that, all things considered, my Junk sails are a good choice for me. Thanks for your informative video.
One of your best videos👍 ,keep up girl
Awesome vids, nice to see "reality cruising"... Ups and downs it's fair game while in the high seas. Cheers
Welcome to Oz Holly ,,great to have you here,,
What a wonderfully wise person! You get back what you put out to the world. I’m a 73 year old coastal sailor and am in awe of your approach to sailing. I hope Australia is kind to you for the time you are there ❤❤
Hollie, Congrats for a long voyages solo to Aussieland. Really cool wildlife to see. I appreciates all your sailing adventures. Jim Rodgers
Holly, I recently watched your interview with James in ? NZ. I liked how open , honest you were. Thank you.
Enjoy what ever time you have left in Oz. 👍🇦🇺🦘
24:10 Wow , what a bounce after sleep. You looked great , well refreshed and ready for Adventure Oz
Type 2 Fun passage. Well done!
Another great video of single handed "sailing" there are too few channels like yours.. Stay safe.
Good on ya mate, welcome to Australia. See you in Broome if you come this way
Oh man, Holly, your video of the cooking almost made me sea sick, great capture of the "rockin' and rollin'", I can't imagine how exhausted you were. Phew. I am exhausted just watching the vid!
Congratulation Legend. Welcome to Australia.
Welcome to Australia. We hope you have a nice experience whilst you are here. M
Looking bright eyed and bushy tailed in the last section. Must be pleased to have arrived.
Great job!!!!!!!
Well done Holly.
Townsville is a lovely town, then Bowen.
The whole coast has lots to offer, hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I have on my travels in the past.
Good luck⛵️
Holly: wow, such memories you stimulated. Back in 1969 made the Coral Sea crossing from Cairns to Gizo; 39 foot ferro. Your video brought back memories of those unique wave patterns. It also was a rough segment. In '69 of course no GPS, no AIS, sextant only, vane steering was primitive and not effective. 4 of us onboard and cockpit hand steering 24x7. I was 16 then.
Get this, we arrived in Gizo evening of first moon landing.
Thanks for 2 great episodes and the memories you restored.
That's a fantastic voyage!
I'd like to have seen some of the customs inspection just for...What a trip, well done!
Cool sailing!
You are one brave and tough girl. I'm cheering you on in your hair raising adventures.
You must have a true feeling of accomplishment after 10
days at sea alone with your boat. Be proud, you deserve it.
Congratulations! You‘re my role model, whenever I feel down, I keep thinking: One day I‘ll be sailing. Watching your videos is almost like sailing. 🙏🏼
