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
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.
No one deserves a relaxing, smooth passage with amenities more than you. Enjoy!
I think a chilled passage in luxury is just what you deserve :)
Beautiful voice, brave young girl.Fair Winds and Following Seas...⛵🏝️
Beautifully put 😊
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.
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.
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!
Yay...creeping up on 100k subscribers! You go, Captain! Cheers! 😄
This boat is like WOW! But you have more adventure with the Gecko. Your self-reliance and confidence is just so inspiring.
Looked like fun. Seeing all the trash brings tears to my eyes. People need to be better. Safe travels sister….
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
@@truestory923. So true
This one was relaxing for me. Thanks for the great scenes.
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!
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.
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.
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
Thank you for your amazing realness and allowing me to live vicariously through your journey. ✌️
I also have a wind direction and speed indicator that i take with me always. 😎
Hehehe amazing:p

So glad you arrived safely.
Nice to see you enjoying some friends company. 🎉
Hi, Holly, I'm glad you're still making videos.
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 😊
Holly, I loved this upload!!!
So enjoy your new videos. Thanks 🍻
nice sail Holly - thanks
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.
Wow Holly, i envy the richness of your life. I'm glad you can share your part of the world.

Morning 😀 welome to Australia 🇦🇺
Yes. Welcome! I'm sorry it cost so much for customs.
Wow wow wow wow wow! The best sailing sunset ever! 19:54
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”.
What a change of pace. There is nothing better than passage making with some friends and a chief!
Hardly recognized the scrubbed up version of Holly. Funny the boat was built in my home town of Ipswich UK. Have fun
Great for you to have a break from sailing your vessel
Bravo Wind Hippie!
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.
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 💁♀️😉
Great Episode! Enjoy. 😊😊😊😊
Great content young lady. Your attitude is refreshing.
Great time with friends. 🤗💖
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 😊
That looks like an amazing passage!
Give me one of your Gek storm ocean crossing videos anyday. But great to see you enjoying the luxury
Amazing journey thanks for sharing..
Well done Holly! Sailing in the 80s, HF, VHF only sextant, nav tables, almanac, paper charts, So different these days. Welcome to Australia.
Wow what a great trip Thanks for sharing
You are one adventurous and cool person.....Love your videos....Real.....
So nice to have such a relaxing trip! Plus you got schooled on entering Indonesia!
I would need to do a lot of organizing before my boat could stand a total search, I just spent 3 days to find some Lewmar stripper rings on the boat.
Thanks Tish!
Inspired sailing (powered) lovely scenes and takes ❤
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
❤ This was beautiful!
Thanks, always inspiring, everyone should buy her a coffee ❤
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!!😎
Wow, wow, wow!!! Beautiful!!
Great times ~ thanks for sharing. 👍👍
enjoy your holiday
New to the channel, but really enjoy your adventures!
Love your channel. And you of course!
I am a new subscriber and have always dreamed of sailing. Living on a sailboat. Great channel. Love your content.
That was amazing. Thank you
Love your content!
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
Greetings from Perth!!
Love you, Holly.
Good times 🎉 I think you had a moment of clarity when comparing uhuru to gecko 🦎 crew plus bigger boat is more comfy
Enjoyed the video
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.
Welcome to Queensland ❤❤❤
Congrats to all for making everything stay hip...hi hi
very. Ice oyster boat from Ipswich town thanks for the video
Good vid. Thank you.
Bravissimo !!!!😀😀😀
So that's how the other half sails, what a beautiful boat, shame you didn't get to set sails on that but I'm sure motoring was pretty cool.
what a treat for both u and us! happy trails!
Thanks!
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!
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)
Love your bookmark!
It's multifunctional
You earned your rest, last passage was hellacious,eh? Also ...you deserve the 100K!
I’m a Patron, but I’m commenting for engagement!!! 🎉
