    I adore this channel, and why does it do well? not because of any new YT algorithm, but because it's a real person doing a real thing (no covert real estate holdings supporting her). You are what everyone wants to become, what dreams of sailing away to freedom are made of, and that's a lot.

    Merry Christmas Holly!! 🎄🎅 I want you to know that you are such a beautiful person. So beautiful, that for me, and I imagine a lot of other people who feel the same way, your existence on this earth gives me hope and happiness. 💖That is probably a really heavy ideal to put onto someone, and you are very self deprecating, so to you, that probably makes you roll your eyes, and say something like, "If only they could smell me, and my boat after one of these long passages, they would not think I am so beautiful." Both opinions would be equally true btw, (LOL), but to you, I want to say, "Namaste". (The light in me sees the light in you). Thank you for making your videos and sharing your journey with the world, and thank you for just being you. ⛵🌞P.S. I miss your singing. You are so multi-talented that having such a God given voice and musical ability probably gets lost with the day to day of being a boat Captain, but I wanted to remind you that your singing/playing is lovely, and missed. 🎵🫶

    Holly glad to stumble across you again! Seeing you again has crystalized into words a feeling I had watching a much earlier vid of yours. You weren't focused on steering precisely, which blew my mind. But then I understood you were heading across an ocean and near enough was good enough. That moment of understanding was familiar, because it happened on my first cross-country flight in a light aircraft. Best wishes for 2023.
