18 Days Alone At Sea to Fiji WHSE102

[@penitoanikeve7288]

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. 🙏🙏⛵⛵⚓⚓☀️☀️🇫🇯🇫🇯

[@matthewmasters4191]

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. :)

[@WindHippieSailing]

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:)

[@ProleDaddy]

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.

That is VERY well stated

[@Sharpiesailor31]

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.

[@j.roberthard7146]

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. 👍😎

[@carmancloud]

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.

[@WindHippieSailing]

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

[@carmancloud]

@@WindHippieSailing It’s appreciated!

[@ricardolemus1994]

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.

[@andreweppink4498]

I do miss sailing. 75 now. If my old bod would do it l'd be back out there in a minute.

[@Erivaralol]

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.

[@johnfraser6013]

Wonderful to see Fiji with you ~ thank you for sharing your experiences Capt. Holly ! 👍👍

[@danroberts2055]

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.

[@jbsanger696]

Great job sailing to Fiji! I'm super excited to watch your new videos

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 .

Nothing better than swimming under a waterfall. Fiji is beautiful. Bula!

thanks for doing my bucket list number #5, now I can surf the internet. aloha

[@williambunting803]

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.

Mr. Holly, I've been a fan since Curacao - never miss an episode! Good to see you make it to a new milestone. My grandfather was a sailing man but I'm more of a car guy. What are you gonna do. Either way it's working on engines! LOL, take care...
