We've all heard the phrase "Renaissance Man" - well, Holly, YOU are the epitome of the definition of "Renaissance Woman"! I swear there is NOTHING that you can't do! So proud of you!

You have such a beautiful smile. It is like the glory of full sunshine after a rainy day. Be happy, be safe.

Hey! I met you the morning you hauled out. You probably don't remember meeting some old guy on the dock but I was tickled to meet you! I was on a 45' cat going thru the canal. Saw a mention of you on White Spot Pirates. Hope you are doing well! Stay Safe!

I'll be waiting for the good news that you've made it safely. Let everyone know as soon as you land!!! 🤞🍀💞

Rule #1: Any job will always take longer than you think it will. Rule # 2. Any job will always cost more than you think it will. I’m glad your dad didn’t just send you the $1000. He’s a smart cookie....and so are you.

I sit here on my couch smiling after seeing your videos. I am dreaming of my own sailing. Yu are awesome!

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free. Love it!!! Peace

From a old man - Stay safe and spend every day like there is no tomorrow time goes by fast

Holly, that particular regulator on your propane system is meant to be vertically oriented, so the vent that is on the right is facing downward. You might find that in the current orientation you get excessive moisture in the reg. Just sayin' ...

I have so much respect for you ...... for what you're doing ...... all by yourself!! You go Girl!! You are very special.

The joys of boat ownership, the maintenance never ends. Work, work and more work. I've had them all, wood, fiberglass, and steel. The bigger the boat the better off you are👏👏👏👏 Have fun.

Beautiful Beatles cover; Enjoyed it 100000X

Was lovely being hauled out next to you! I see Catching Up! Peaking through in some shots. Missing you Holls!

Holly the prep and bottom paint on your boat will do just fine. Upon inspection your attention to detail and stick- to -itivness will pay off especially where safety at sea is concerned. Fair winds and following seas and always live life with the spirit of adventure. ⛵️🏝😀

Incredible and inspiring! you accomplish so many things on your own. keep it up you're an absolute joy to watch.

Hey Holly: Just found your channel and am loving it. I was a cruising kid, too, Bahamas and Caribbean. Ruined me for shore life, without regret. I listen often when working on my boat, also a Danish design/build. Simplify, simplify, simplify.

Great video again. My $0.02 - your bottom paint is just fine, so lower your standards! Bottom paint is not a safety item, nor will it make any difference at all in performance, the Grinde is not that kind of boat. What the Grinde is, is a boat that will keep you safe. Looking forward to your next video. Ciao. Jan.

A very practical video! Such a great adventure planned. So glad you are paying so much attention to safety. Hope everything goes well these next two weeks.

Doing the bottom of a boat is a right a passage for a boater. People who buy large boats (this is a 28 footer) in the 32-45 foot range don't realize how much work it is to get the bottom done every year. I had a 26 footer and it was always a challenge to get the bottom done for the season.

Great to see another video Holly. Bottom work came up good. Will go faster now :). Stay safe. :)

All the best on your adventure. Happy to see you tackle maintenance, doing things yourself comes with satisfaction but theres a point in time management when it will make sense to sub out future professional work. 🤙

Hi Holly! Found this video through a KZfaq suggestion and loved it, and am now binging through your stories from episode 1. Your video style is fresh and extremely interesting, I will be sad when I am caught up lol! Stay safe and have fun!

Looking good! We had to do something similar with our bottom paint. Sometimes you have to just do what you can afford and get you by for a while. Keep up the awesome videos!

It's important not to overthink bottom jobs. Scuff it, paint it and go.

I was just thinking about you and BANG you appeared 😁

All around impressive! All the best. Sincerely.

Take care of yourself and be safe on your journey ahead......

Glad you got your haulout done. Just did mine 2 days ago. I checked out your co-ordinates, Looks like a cool place to be. Fair winds little hippie!

Ah the 8 o'clock on a panamanian timepiece. Almost Swiss time. Cool video.

How exciting... I love haul out time... every other year, its a celebration, inviting friends and making a big feast.... for them those hard workers... oh and the beer. yes I know money is a big issue ... but I follow what your Dad said... i've done the same on my PCC, by myself... 46'X2+92' of rubbing hull....or hell.... but, making a quick stop at a haul out underway was an alternative I have used twice now...... its an old cruisers trick.... as long as she's sea worthy, the bright work can wait. Love the vlog, glad your on the Pacific side .... more action here U know the ring of fire, hope your up for it.

Hi Holly, I just discovered your channel and watching the white spot pirates life stream. You are an inspirational young woman taking on a large journey while on a small boat! You are awesome and I am very impressed. You have a new subscriber and a new fan, Cheers

Great video Holly!

Hi Windhippie hippie !!! Some how it all fits together , i mean having the time to haul out and do maintenance ... Good you look over all potential problems, cause when shit hit the fan is when things beack... Smart move Holly... God's speed with you crossing the Pacific Ocean ! YOU GOTSOME BIG ONES GIRL !!! BUT YOU WILL BE IN YOUR ULTIMATE !!! KEEP SAFE WINDHIPPIE !!! ARRR !!!

Hell you are doing more bottom painting than half the worlds fleet!! Looks great going to feel great too!!

Oh last one... LOVE YOUR BOAT!!!

Wow that look like a big job scraping that boat. Nice job!

Saw you over on WSP and have to say you spoke well and looked relaxed. Hopefully you earned some more subs!

I was at Shelter Bay in 2007 when the travel lift arrived. What a great place.

I used to do bottom jobs, good god I hated them so bad. Even so, just get a nice sander and sand it and be done with it. A 'secret' is to use lots and lots of sandpaper. Don't cheap out on making a piece go too far. I know this is old, but just sand it, suffer then finish with it. You can sand the entire bottom in two horrible days, maybe 1. You don't have to take it to gelcoat if the paint is sticking well.

Thanks once again.

Great video. My wife and I are here in Corinna Maine watching your journey around the world. Good luck and stay safe from Michelle and Gary on S/V Selah

Scraping boat bottoms is what rum was made for, just saying.

Good Luck girl and Happy Sailing. What an amazing life! Your new sub in SoCali

Welcome to the Pacific.....

Self steering lines. Can you move the line along now and again to change the wear point? Apparently ball bearing blocks make a big difference. Lube, the best is supposed to be Sailkote. WD40, once we cleaned the through hull speed impeller in the water, sprayed with WD40…it went all sticky! Hell and very wet to get back. In the old days, we just put the boat against the quay, do one side, turn around on the tide, do the other. Tying up against a quay seems to be a lost art.

great tips and information. Thanks , Stay Safe

Amazing and wonderful Video

What I see looks great ... little my observations are limited, but the boat is looking great Inside and out.... Your winter haul out did wonders. Bitter end splice is nice... great marlinspiking.

Nice job making lemonade from a lemon!

All the best

Canada here. Keep having fun Captain. Do not give up on your dreams. This lock down will end. I watched the two live streams with my other favourite women Captains. That looked like a blast. Damm , I wish I was with you all. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay happy.

I spent the winter one year scraping boat bottoms, ha ha, if I never have to do it again (myself) it'll be too soon 😂

Wonderful video! Maybe we will see you somewhere in the Pacific, we're on Magic, currently in Tahiti stuck at the marina!

Hey you, an advice from a german Automotive-Painter, who has done several Boat-Jobs in the last past years too: if you use a short-haired felt- roller (what most of the people do that have no experiences with sprayguns and what is quiet okay for Antifouling Paint) please take care (in the future) that you get SOME MATERIAL ONTO YOUR SURFACE ! Dryed material thickness is the key to sucess. That means: if you do NOT put a DECENT coat of wet material to your surface you can just forget it ! I've seen pictures (9:37 in your video) where you squeezed out the last drop out of your roll trying to "cover" the surface. This is not the way ! Dip your roll into the paint, roll it out first onto your grid, and then applay it to your surface THICKLY. As thick as it is possible before it starts to drip-off. The thickness of the dried paintcoat will be the key to sucess. If you squeeze out your roll to the max you will get very poor performance of your just freshly applied Paintcoat. So: stay healthy in these difficult times, fair winds, happy travels and best regards from Germany

11:39 got me sitting on the edge of my chair....

Hi, you should really varnish your woods, they really start to deteriorate

You're such an inspiration for me Holly! But as a 6ft1 bloke, seeing you half inside lockers or fully stretched out on the cockpit seats is amusing af. Even with a much bigger boat, I'll never have the room to move you do. And you circumnavigated with your parents as a kid in a smaller boat? Wow.

I think dad's right, get outa there to the pacific and in the water in Pacific Panama, the best option. Thank god they aren't over controlling there like some places. Famous Shelter Bay Marina, that was where people have spent a ton of time.

I mentioned early last year it would be good preventive maintenance to scrub down your gas bottles and paint 'em up a bit...I noticed they look like crap in this video , I can't for the life of me understand why so many people neglect them considering they are a pressurised vessel , 1/2 hr work and $5 worth of paint.

Stay Healthy !!

I had the same isue Flakes out of the waterline to the gell coat I just ignored it and bootopped over it. I had one day till launch

well if you're somewhere in the Pacific, I do hope you can land when you arrive. Keep a weather eye out for storms. :-)

We are beyond impressed with your sailing spirit Godspeed From Lake Michigan sailors

You're so obviously a very capable young woman...a pleasure watching a millennial rocker living the dream. Try Avatoru on Rangiroa when you reach Polynesia...a charming, friendly oasis in the islands.

I think your awesome (and beautiful)! I've loved (and been on) boats all my life and my dream would be to do exactly what you're doing on day! Stay beautiful.

In watching this video you are in Shelter Bay in Atlantic, the last two videos you were in the Pacific. Thanks just realized they are a little out of order, curious how you got passage and Atticus is stuck in Shelter Bay. Love your channel, keep sailing.

IKR!? PB blaster is good stuff! Of course now there will be a web debate on which is better. 🙄 Anway if you want to sound snooty to your mates you can refer to the "core" of rope as the kernmantle and the "jacket" as the sheath. Of course I just say the outside wrapply part and the innards part cause I'm not as smart as you look.🤪

One of my life goals is to sail with you😊 let’s make it happen, I’ll pay my own way. Hell I’ll pay yours too!

You’re doing fine kiddo. That bottom job will work.

It's the way she goes

Next time you use a roller, put about a 4' long stick on it. You'll see, it's like night and day.

Maybe paint the tiller. I have done that alot.

Bonjour Holly. Tu as fais un super boulot. Quand tu seras de l'autre coté du pacifique tu auras le temps de reprendre correctement le travail de peinture. Tu es un petit bout de femme sur un petit bateau mais tu accomplis de grandes choses. Bravo miss. Je sais qu'actuellement tu es a Las Perlas en attendant la fin du confinement mais comptes tu traverser a la fin du confinement ou remettre la traversée à l'année prochaine?. L'important c'est que tu aies du rhum et des copains pour attendre tranquillement la fin de l'épidémie. Prends soin de toi. Olivier.

Hey Holly. You get a special mention in our latest episode ;) Episode 4 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/naqBZsmhrbDQqHk.html

Video more. Big skips... short video for our 2 week deal right... still great to see you.. Glad you are well!!!!

Cal 29 Seafever is Impressed

Feel like I missed a few episodes. I assume you went across the Panama Canal. But am confused. i realize the time delay in producing videos, but it went from NC to the Pacific in a couple of episodes. Did you lose some footage?

Yep not like anyone's gonna see it once your back in the water

Thanks for sharing. Ever thought of selling your old lines to patrons? Or crazy guys like me that would love exhibiting your lines/gear for other to see...and thank you Tish for letting us see the progress

OK this is kind of corny but it's different. I'm wondering if at night in the boat corral are there bats flying around because I know that's like when hey come out at night in those areas actually that's when bats come out everywhere....

Miss Panama a lot. Stationed on Gulic back in the day. What kind of boat is that? Can't make it out.

can use a sheath on to avoid rapid wear of the ropes !?

Do you recall what they charged you to take the boat out? And spray it?

QUESTION: Do you have to move the supports (in order to get to those spots) or do the yard hands help with that? Seems if you had to do yourself it might be dangerous?

What would we do if it wasn't for the local hardware store???

I thought White Spot Pirates in her live stream a few days ago said she only just met you and you were anchored around one of the islands in Panama, no ?

The angle aft is to let water out of the cockpit , be prepared to sit on the hard one week and it will cost 4 to 5 hundred including paint , looking at you boat you need a coat of prime a con and anti fouling, the Dow;side is sanding remember the better the finish the faster you go can you do more vids of work like this instead of face in the camera I love watching all vids of people , places , and maintainance people do , the camera in the face is a hard one , keel going you have many country’s to concur well done

Did you film the passage through the Panama Canal, if you did what episode number is it? I lived in Panama growing up and love to see the transits. I also enjoy your journey.

Isn't life funny... A vodka bottle just happens to be the right diameter to fit next to the pair of gas bottles to stop them rattling... Nothing wrong with your antifoul job either. I scrape off the loose last years stuff, paint with grey underwater vynal and paint the antifoul str8 on. 40 years and 6 boats. No issues ever...

i ask why not just "add" the new zinc and use them both...aren't you just recycling the partial one unnecessarily.?

hello Est ce que vous pouvez activer les sous-titres en français si le vous plait dans vos video ? I am french : ) super video !!! Merci !!

Holly get an old carpet needle, they are sturdy and pierce well. DO you know how to splice rope?

You really need a tiller pilot and a chart plotter. Would make the nights so much better. Looks like you have the stud on your tiller for the pilot installed already.

Please find away to fix the Sound

Dude, are your vids chronological? The only reason that I ask is that I remember that you and your mom were in Panama like 5 months ago. If I look at your videos it looks like you sailed back to ME, refit your boat, and then sailed back to Panama. I am behind, as you can tell, but please gimme a quick update.

You will be faster then a speeding duck now!!! Stay safe, have fun, eat chocolate......

That's all u really need honey I bet it looks great 😉

Have yet to determine the nature of the overwhelming and unrequited male support for vulnerable female sailors. Is it fatherly/protective or carnal/lecherous or both?
