AEC (algorithm enhancing comment) I hope it helps bring clicks to your channel. Interesting content from a real sailor. Congrats on your passage. Built my 34' cold molded Kauri boat in NZ back in the early 80's spent 9 years sailing 'round the Pacific before selling it in San Diego. Retired now ,so my sailing is done vicariously through channels like yours. Cheers
That's crazy having to motor 1100 miles! That is truly a beautiful, well appointed boat but I appreciate the realness of your boat and lifestyle. It's one most of us can relate to a lot more.
The only sailing channel I enjoy watching anymore! Thanks Holly for always putting out quality content that is relatable to the commoner haha! You know how to put together an engaging story and keep me watching all the way to the end. Fair winds as you continue your travels, I'm eager to see your future unfold here and wish you all the best in your endeavors!
Gee what a holiday sail after what you just sailed. Very nice boat to be in particular the dish washer and washing machine seemed to tickle your fancy lol cheers for the content was very relaxing 😊
What an amazing yacht, to bad you didn't get to sail her due to light/no wind. I crewed on an Oyster 56 and that boat needed 15 knots of wind to sail with standard sails. Great episode Holly.
your demeanor and general well being seems so recharged by your time being craded in the lap of luxury. Good on you and thank you gents for taking car of this fine young sailor on her journey. i can't wait to share your travels with my 16 years ld daughter who I start teaching to sail this summer. thanks again
100 percent agree, Holly! Fly, sail, drive, hike or bike - they all have advantages and disadvantages but what they all share is that you get to travel!
I decided to subscribe bc/ tho I watch several long time sailors on their channels, yours has a daring to it bc/ you do it alone w/ total confidence in your skills and ability to be alone. It is probably true that most people can't do that. So I appreciate that you film the journey in a flowing way with relaxing knowledgeable commentary. I appreciate that you are out there on the seas!
Uhuru is a gorgeous boat, but, Geck has a special place in my heart. Cool to see the ocean so calm it was as if you were traversing a lake. See ya in 2, Hols XO Darcee
People" need to be better? What does that mean? Third world countries often don't have resources like privileged Americans... The USA that has bullied militarily and financially for decades... Those people coming from their infrastructure do not understand that the REST of the world doesn't HAVE access to luxuries... Like Garbage pick up, or choices in buying food goods, or recycling trucks, or or or... As a Canadian, I even can't afford half the stuff that my American counterparts can buy because their dollar fiat currency is stronger due to world domination. I really really wish that people would see that it's not the people of countries that are behaving badly, they are just loving hand to mouth most of the time. It's the countries that control their countries... Namely big Pharma, big food, and the industrial war machine... Among others
Nice boat. Yes, when we were passing the Rio Magdalena, 40 mi off the coast of Barranquilla, Colombia we saw much like this and worse. But we had 3 meter seas too. Enjoy your “luxury cruise”.
Sailed through Kavieng in 1969 enroute from Rabaul to Kapingamarangi ... on to Nukuoro ... and on. Totally enjoy each and every one of your videos!! Wonderfully done.
Love the way you say 'Indonesia'. Those logs in heavy seas. Imagine they crash land on your vessel! Loving your adventures. Keep them coming. Fair winds and following seas 😊
Congratulations. I m enjoying watching your all the channels, fear winds, and following seas 🌊 ⛵️ Greetings from beautiful City Punta Arenas Antarctica Patagonia where strong winds are blowing from Antarctica
They charge you in 15 min increments to search your boat? That's next level. Alot of sailing channels that come here comment on what the "welcome" is like, and what a rip off it is. (many things)
The seasonal launch of my ketch "Down Home" is just days away. During the off season for my sailing you provide such interesting dialogue and bring us your adventures in a way that makes us pals and parricipants. Keep sharing and we'll be watching with anticipation for your next episode.
I assure you...When your eyeballs can scan a early morning sea as calm as the one they saw reflecting every mirrored exact copy of the blazing orange and pink towering tropical clouds .... that morning coffee will be....... unmatched! ✍)))
I really thought this video was good. A good insight to the cruising life with the day to day shit that has to happen. Enjoy your time with the oyster!
Such A very cool change for you on the sail to Sarong, Indonesia. I just love watching your growth as a human. Ha ha. Luxury has its perks. 4hrs watches are so much better than 24hr watches.
I worked the Florida keys in the Summer of 1974 off Marathon key. Many mornings the sea was flat as glass, and when the Gulf of Mexico was "in" one could see 100ft. Often we would lean over to check out the bottom and feel like we were going to fall 100ft down. Very weird feeling. ;)
This past winter, I ended up becoming addicted to good sailing vids and just now found your channel! (new sub- yay!). I'm a semi-retired chef, so working seasonally is a fab thing. It was fun to learn that your fam's in Maine-- where I moved 5 years ago after a lifetime of vacations down in the Sebego area. Now I'm on an island living in this crazy old artist's camp. Sometimes during wind storms (and we've had our share recently) if I'm in the loft, I feel a bit like I'm on a ship... My windy winter hallucinations aside, I just wanted to thank you for such good content! Obv. the apple didn't fall far lol. I look forward to starting at the beginning (or some rando spot) and seeing more of your earlier adventures. Fair winds-- and Cheers from Maine! (abbey)
If you are still in Townsville make sure you checkout Magnetic Island. I lived out there for a month or so after a long stint as a Jackaroo in NSW. BTW I am from South Bristol! Keep on keeping on!!😎
It must be strange to not have internet. I went years without the " smart phone" because I live in a very rural old 1800 living ghost town which Im trying to figure out how to leave one day. It was simply too expensive to have a 100 dollar phone bill each month. I ended up with a 500 dollar CD collection thinking I'd always have all the entertainment I'd ever need. Even if the grid crashed... lol. Wrong. I'm totally burned out on all my movies. I have ADD. Lol. Sailing is brave because you don't always have another boat passing by. I think this phone represents ALL my entertainment needs. If I lived in a city I'd have a cheaper bill. But rural is expensive. Enjoy the hell out of your channel. Thank you so much!😂❤ wow dishwasher AND a washer!!! Luxury!!!
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why situation goes south. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
No one deserves a relaxing, smooth passage with amenities more than you. Enjoy!

Wish you had had TH-cam channel 😛
Uhuru's options and conveniences are outstanding! Goodonyas!
Thanks!
What Design did you Build.
Awesome video as always.
I think a chilled passage in luxury is just what you deserve :)
Wow wow wow wow wow! The best sailing sunset ever! 19:54
That's crazy having to motor 1100 miles! That is truly a beautiful, well appointed boat but I appreciate the realness of your boat and lifestyle. It's one most of us can relate to a lot more.
Beautiful voice, brave young girl.Fair Winds and Following Seas...⛵🏝️
Beautifully put 😊
Yay...creeping up on 100k subscribers! You go, Captain! Cheers! 😄
The only sailing channel I enjoy watching anymore!
Thanks Holly for always putting out quality content that is relatable to the commoner haha! You know how to put together an engaging story and keep me watching all the way to the end.
Fair winds as you continue your travels, I'm eager to see your future unfold here and wish you all the best in your endeavors!
It was lovely seeing you able to relax and enjoy some luxury. I truly aspire to be as minimal and solid as you are on the Geck.
Gee what a holiday sail after what you just sailed. Very nice boat to be in particular the dish washer and washing machine seemed to tickle your fancy lol cheers for the content was very relaxing 😊
Well done Holly! Sailing in the 80s, HF, VHF only sextant, nav tables, almanac, paper charts, So different these days. Welcome to Australia.
This one was relaxing for me. Thanks for the great scenes.
Thanks for sharing Holly!Congratulations on 100k!U deserve 1 million!Glad people are finally getting on board!Still against dishwashers on a boat!lol
Lol, 😂 she's not quite there yet. But, she's more than earned them.though.
9:40 omg a just think glassy calm ocean is just one of the most remarkable things...maybe not for sailing but still spectacular.
What an amazing yacht, to bad you didn't get to sail her due to light/no wind.
I crewed on an Oyster 56 and that boat needed 15 knots of wind to sail with standard sails.
Great episode Holly.
This boat is like WOW! But you have more adventure with the Gecko. Your self-reliance and confidence is just so inspiring.
Thank you for your amazing realness and allowing me to live vicariously through your journey. ✌️
I was really enthralled by the pinisi-rigged schooners in Sorong! Thank you for providing such amazing content!
your demeanor and general well being seems so recharged by your time being craded in the lap of luxury. Good on you and thank you gents for taking car of this fine young sailor on her journey. i can't wait to share your travels with my 16 years ld daughter who I start teaching to sail this summer. thanks again
100 percent agree, Holly! Fly, sail, drive, hike or bike - they all have advantages and disadvantages but what they all share is that you get to travel!
So glad you arrived safely.
You earned your rest, last passage was hellacious,eh? Also ...you deserve the 100K!
Holly lovely to hear your safe, it really has put a smile on my face, for this month of May
Wow Holly, i envy the richness of your life. I'm glad you can share your part of the world.

Looking forward to your 100k subscribers. Always enjoy your great adventures. Best wishes.
Looked like fun. Seeing all the trash brings tears to my eyes. People need to be better. Safe travels sister….

@@truestory923. So true
@@truestory923 "its americas fault they don't collect their trash properly"
L take.
Put some points on the board of stfu
Wow. You know you’re doing something right to get an invite on an Oyster with all the comforts.
Ps. Those sunglasses, they’re perfect! Great episode.
Oh sorry to say I am in love, distant love I guess😊 What a great natural girl. Wish you all the best and fair winds😊
We're all in love... End of the line 💁♀️😉
Nice boat. Yes, when we were passing the Rio Magdalena, 40 mi off the coast of Barranquilla, Colombia we saw much like this and worse. But we had 3 meter seas too. Enjoy your “luxury cruise”.
Holly I'm so glad you are doing well. 💕
As always, thanks Holly. Now I can go work on my refit with motivation.
I’ve been watching for a couple years now and still really enjoy your channel!Peace !!
So glad you had a chill passage after what seemed to be a series of challenging passages.
Great for you to have a break from sailing your vessel
Nice to see you enjoying some friends company. 🎉
Thank you for the beautiful chill content.
The universe is glad you came.
The quality of your videos is getting better and better. I really enjoyed this one!
I really enjoyed this passage but all of them are great. 100K is awesome, Cheers.
Sailed through Kavieng in 1969 enroute from Rabaul to Kapingamarangi ... on to Nukuoro ... and on. Totally enjoy each and every one of your videos!! Wonderfully done.
Love the way you say 'Indonesia'.
Those logs in heavy seas. Imagine they crash land on your vessel!
Loving your adventures. Keep them coming. Fair winds and following seas 😊
What a change of pace. There is nothing better than passage making with some friends and a chief!
Congratulations. I m enjoying watching your all the channels, fear winds, and following seas 🌊 ⛵️ Greetings from beautiful City Punta Arenas Antarctica Patagonia where strong winds are blowing from Antarctica
Thanks! I used to work on the american research boats that operate out of there
Hi, Holly, I'm glad you're still making videos.
nice sail Holly - thanks
Glad you had the restful month. Looking forward to seeing what you got up to.
Great content young lady. Your attitude is refreshing.
This was a great vlog. Thanks for sharing your travels with all of us.
Another AEC… LOVED IT. Great to see you have a relaxing cruise.
Love your bookmark!
It's multifunctional
Nice trip thanks for taking us along with you and the friends
Thanks, always inspiring, everyone should buy her a coffee ❤
Hardly recognized the scrubbed up version of Holly. Funny the boat was built in my home town of Ipswich UK. Have fun
Give me one of your Gek storm ocean crossing videos anyday. But great to see you enjoying the luxury
Glad you got a nice rest!! ❤
Morning 😀 welome to Australia 🇦🇺
Yes. Welcome! I'm sorry it cost so much for customs.
So happy you got such a chill sail, it looked beautiful.🧡
Nice sailing trip, Holly. Thanks.
I am a new subscriber and have always dreamed of sailing. Living on a sailboat. Great channel. Love your content.
Really enjoy watching your travels. Super intriguing
What a beautiful boat... but its not as exciting watching... no suspense or drama about what might go wrong... LOL
They charge you in 15 min increments to search your boat? That's next level. Alot of sailing channels that come here comment on what the "welcome" is like, and what a rip off it is. (many things)
These men are so funny. They don't realize what a Great sailer you are. They should watch your youtube sailing.
I think it is so nice to do ,but I couldn't put up with all the customs and inspection. Stay safe.
Will that was a very different passage from your last passage! Lol.
Welcome to Paymore Australia

New subscriber here! My friend pointed me your way, I’m sold! You are a great person indeed, from Clevedon, United Kingdom
what a treat for both u and us! happy trails!
I’m a Patron, but I’m commenting for engagement!!! 🎉
Thanks!!:)
So enjoy your new videos. Thanks 🍻
So nice to have such a relaxing trip! Plus you got schooled on entering Indonesia!
Wow, I suspect that is Austrailia's way of convincing cruisers not to sail to Austrailia...
I assure you...When your eyeballs can scan a early morning sea as calm as the one they saw reflecting every mirrored exact copy of the blazing orange and pink towering tropical clouds .... that morning coffee will be....... unmatched! ✍)))
I also have a wind direction and speed indicator that i take with me always. 😎
Hehehe amazing:p
Thanks Tish!
Nice vacation! Especially after your long solo passage.
Inspired sailing (powered) lovely scenes and takes ❤
I really thought this video was good. A good insight to the cruising life with the day to day shit that has to happen. Enjoy your time with the oyster!
You are one adventurous and cool person.....Love your videos....Real.....
Such A very cool change for you on the sail to Sarong, Indonesia.
I just love watching your growth as a human. Ha ha.
Luxury has its perks. 4hrs watches are so much better than 24hr watches.
13.00... Look at that glass! Truly spectacular.
I worked the Florida keys in the Summer of 1974 off Marathon key.

You are the most amazing woman ‘ safe sailing👍👍😎
If you are still in Townsville make sure you checkout Magnetic Island. I lived out there for a month or so after a long stint as a Jackaroo in NSW. BTW I am from South Bristol! Keep on keeping on!!😎
Holly, I loved this upload!!!
Good times 🎉 I think you had a moment of clarity when comparing uhuru to gecko 🦎 crew plus bigger boat is more comfy
Wow what a great trip Thanks for sharing

Welcome to Queensland ❤❤❤
Loving your chilled vids!!
Great time with friends. 🤗💖
Love you, Holly.
Happy that you made it yay and sorry that you have to be subjected to Brit authority.
That looks like an amazing passage!
