Wind Hippie Sailing
September 05, 2011 SAILING YOUTUBERS
Just a minimalist single-hander slowly cruising the world on my Grinde 27′
I’m currently in French Polynesia with plans to head to the Cook Islands, Fiji, and beyond this season.
.
Some background: I grew up on my parent’s Cal25 while they were completing their own circumnavigation. Sailing is in my blood, and I’ve spent more than half my life living on a boat. If you want to learn more about my upbringing, check out episode 3!
If it so pleases you, you can follow my channel for original videos about my boat overhaul and day-to-day life aboard
If you’re interested in more information on my trip, please visit my website 🙂
