As a native Fijian, thank you very much for chosing Fiji as a stopover in your journey, and hope your stay has been pleasant and enjoyable. Vinaka Vakalevu, clear skies and calm seas to you, Captain. 🙏🙏⛵⛵⚓⚓☀️☀️🇫🇯🇫🇯
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. :)
Wow that must have been amazing! I bet you saw a lot of the world that way. If you wait around until my next episode, I sail to the Lau group of Fiji:)
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.
I am also a full time cruiser. 70 and a retired engineer, familiar with pulling things apart and rebuilding them. The same is true for most full time cruisers. You are the real deal, Holly!
WOW Holly, the "Little Yellow Flag" 😃🤩, Soooo innovative and industrious of you, every episode is simply delightful, it's such a joy whenever we get to see you, know you are well and enjoy your adventures with you. Thank you so much for sharing and may God Bless and keep you safe and well...
wow! just loved it all. i am imagining what it must have felt like after 18 days to walk on the land and smell all those wonderful land things and meet ppl fr all over and all those crusers. love u and yr freedom!!💖
YAS, I have watched you for months, like not Really, But from the start to , seeing you father, to who you are…. You are the jam. Way to go lady…. Type A, World is yours. So strong, ❤v
You continue to impress me Holly - an incredible , remarkable and very lovely young woman. Such a sunny disposition in challenging environment. Kudos Holly - live y our dream
Good seeing you again in Fiji. Your a fearless adventurous lady, and Capt. is a good rank for your ability at sea. The sea on your passage at times looked scary, but I'm certain that you stay safe as possible and you know the rigging changes. So be safe and have fun on your travels. Your videos are great. 👍😎
Congrats,Holly on you successful passage to Fiji. Great video with lots of good info. And btw, you certainly deserve the title of Capt. Holly. Thanks as always for sharing your adventure. You’re amazing. Dan. ✌️⛵️🇨🇦
Just started watching your videos and subscribed....just the few that I've watched...you are awesome!! Beautiful places you are stopping at! Stay safe!
What a cool experience! And thank you for the shots of the market. I imagine it must sometimes feel very awkward to film in situations like that and I appreciate that you push through to share the experience as thoroughly as possible. You’re a great story-teller.
Thanks! And how insightful to acknowledge how damn awkward I feel filming other people. It's why I usually keep the camera on my boat and in my own face. But I really wanted to share the flavor of Fiji
@@WindHippieSailing I loved all the town scenes, when I was there in 89' every thing in the market was arranged in 50 cent piles. Everything was 50 cents including a pineapple!
Really like how your boat is Functional and not perfect! Most of us sail like you! I enjoy your videos! Liked seeing the details about what it cost to arrive and stay at each location. Helps in planning for future sails.
Really enjoy your videos. Just stumbled upon you not long ago. When I was maybe 18 or so, I had a friend who lived on an island nearby in the Puget Sound in Washington. 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.
Captain Holly ! Certainly no hyperbole. You're very much an accomplished and tested Captain. I just found you and subscribed to your videos. I will go back and watch from the beginning. I can only imagine the smell in the coconut oil processing company. Surely to bought some for cooking - it's delicious !. Fair winds and be safe.
EPIC HOLLY, THANX FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCES AND TRAVELS, HOPING TO ONE DAY MEET YOU, FROM SAN DIEGO, SHELTER ISLAND,💦 CA WITH MAHALO, ANCHORS AWAY ...BE SAFE 💞
Really awesome video experience for me. I'm an experienced deep sea fisherman but this is way over my league and it's so fun to watch this! Thanks for sharing your journey
Love your videos kid! Keep on enjoying life, it is really short, one day is just gone and your old. 💙💯 Puts a smile on me when I see a new Holly alert 🙃
Wow. Your pretty special Holly! How cool is the life you’ve chosen. Maybe you’ll run across my friend Captain John in the South Pacific. He is on the Cape Anne around Bora Bora. Safe travels! 😎
I believe that cava is the traditional gift to the village chief when you are visiting Fiji outer islands . I think you can get it in gift style packs / bundles . If you liked French Polynesia , then you will love Fiji .
Everything about this channel is tops!! Seriously, I mean it's one adventure after another! You are truly living life the way you really want to. I'm also amazed at the experience you have gained. A huge hello and hug from Spain!
Wow Fiji! Captain Holly has a nice ring to it, can’t wait to see your adventures in those islands I’ve been with you almost from the start and your a brave and go for it girl! Wishing you the best and the best seas, stay cool stay safe.
That was fun. I love the sound of your little “Coffee Pot” motor. The anchorage looks nicely tropical, and place to aim for later. I hope you get to do a check in at Lord Howe Island some time in the future. I’ve never seen the whole Copra process, but as a kid I played in the Copra sheds near the wharf in Port Moresby. Memories.
Now you in Fiji 🇫🇯 very beautiful islands ,so many ,Bravo captain , you amazing sailor its fascinating. Soon I am living around the world ⛵️ 🌎 from Hawaii islands, next year in 2023 solo . Iike it too alone ,some as you .Solo sailors quiet challenging as spacial at night . Good luck to you Captain !
As a native Fijian, thank you very much for chosing Fiji as a stopover in your journey, and hope your stay has been pleasant and enjoyable.
