    This old sailor watched this episode whimpering. I always wanted to go to Fuji, but never did. I stumbled onto your videos and have watched many of them. All my sailing days were on steam ships in the boiler rooms, but I always dreamed of sailing. Maybe next life. :)

    You've been Captain since you left Maine, and single handed a 26ft boat down to and across the Caribbean, through the Canal and across most of the Pacific.
    Fact that they didn't have a form for female Captain's in Fiji just tells you how rare a talent you have. Look forward to seeing Fiji.

    Yes, you are a fine Captain and Skipper Holly . Seeing you sailing “Gecko” in that lively sea state making land fall and looking so relaxed, composed and in tune with the boats motion was great. It’s marvelous, but the absolute best thing is seeing your joy and smile. It is uplifting. Fair winds “Mr.” Holly Martin.

His family had two sailboats and I once went out with just him and I for a few days while his parents followed us in the larger sail boat. It was an awesome memory and has always been something I wanted to do again, even though its been over a decade.
