Grandpa's Rotary phone turned into Radar Alarm!

PaPa lives on! After my Grandfather passed recently I decided to install his old Rotary phone in my sailing vessel as a memory of the time when I was younger and lived in his home using that exact phone daily! however....being the creative individual he taught so much independence to... this just wasn't enough!
Follow along as the wheels of creativity start turning and I piece by piece transform a very special rotary phone into the radar alarm aboard my sailboat so that PaPa's voice can live on to protect me across the oceans!
My Tribute to a GREAT man!
My Grandfather was one of the most Stern and stubborn men I ever knew! He is the one without a doubt I get my stubbornness from! He taught me how to be a persistent and never stand down when it matters! He also taught me that anything was possible if you work hard enough for it! He taught me to stand up proud... quite literally with my bad teenage posture lol. He is the reason I say please, thank you, yes sir,no sir, yes maam, and no ma'am as subconsciously is taking a breath.... I often have people tell me "please don't call me ma'am or sir" my response is always with a grin "now listen... My grandparents worked hard on that and I can't let you take it away from em". That statement sits a little deeper now but it is true as the sky is blue! I will keep it alive as long as I am here because that's what he has givin me to carry-on!
Thank you for reading!

I love you using grandparents equipment to upgrade your boat! I have several things I use every day from my grandparents an uncles. My everyday silverware are Navy issue went through the Pearl Harbor attack on Dec 7th when one was hospitalized for 13 months an other guarded beaches from kickum field. Because of blackout in Hawaii after attack no letters could be sent stateside so both brothers sent my grandmother a wall plack an 2 silk scarves to let her know they were both alive! I have their wall plack an 2 scarves too, very cool! Thanks for memory lane! Love ya on the seas! Tim

One afternoon I was taking a nap and I heard the phone ring and I could hear it so clearly I could literally detect the machined turning marks on the bell and .. well, I didn't HAVE a phone with a bell!

I found your channel today and just finished binge-watching every episode. What I most like is that you (even though you don’t choose to at all times) are able to single-hand that boat and take care of anything that comes your way. I’ve wanted to set sail for many years now but it will likely be by myself so seeing you demonstrate that it CAN be done is very inspirational. I know you’re working on it, but I’m really looking forward to learning about how you got to where you are now with your biological episode. Lastly, that phone alarm is one of the coolest things I’ve seen recently - being able to put such a sentimental object to good use is awesome. And I’m sure you’ll think of both of your grandparents every time it goes off (along with the object you need to avoid!). Great job on everything! 😁

You're my kind of genius! So awesome! Reminds me of my water level alarm I made from a smoke detector! Connect wires to the test button and run them to where you want to be alarmed if water reaches. Once water touches the wires and completes the circuit, the alarm sounds. You're awesome, Holly!

Very ingenious. If you haven't disposed of the phones guts, you may want to experiment. The older phones were DC voltage and might be made to work off the alarm.

I so enjoy your videos! I’m an older lady and your way of looking at life has changed my thinking! I am always afraid I will mess up if I try new things so I just don’t attempt things. You are amazing in the things you do and the things you accomplish. And how you have a heart to go long distances to help others with sailing issues. You are my number one channel to watch. I keep watching them over and over because it encourages me to attempt things whether I mess it up or not. Thanks for your bravery and taking the time to video it for your subscribers. When you got hurt on the dingy you pushed forward with only one arm and solo sailing! You said you never felt so alive when you were back out of the hospital and back on your boat. I went out and bought a sunfish after I saw you sailing the little sunfish you have. I’m about to take it out soon. I hope in my future to take sailing lessons and live and do what your doing. Thanks for letting us be apart of ANOTHER ADVENTURE!

You should wire it so when the phone is on the hook the circuit is complete. When you lift the phone up it breaks the circuit and turns off the alarm.

I thought about this and it is an absolutely terrible idea because if the phone ever fell off the receiver my radar and AIS alarm would fail and could be catastrophic... Less margin for error...

Hi Holly, as ever an amazing video. A little bit off topic: On June 17. an italian sailor Rocco Acocella started from St. Martin with his Trimaran heading to Barranquilla in Columbia. On 22. of June he had sent an SOS signal and is since then lost. It seems that he never reached the harbor he headed for. Remains of his boat weren't found either. His parents and girlfriend are still searching. Please, when you hear something, say something.

I hope you manage to make a film documenting how you work why and skills you learnt sailing staring you and other yacht friends and helping out others. Also your own adventure from not so good times and back to being you. I think this should happen don't call it a documentary on your life call it freedom of the sea with jolly Holly. You are a special person. If I was younger I would marry you that is how good you are in life and people need to be them selves and you teach that in life.
