Abandoning Gecko for an Oyster 62' Papua New Guinea to Indonesia WHSE143

[@horacegardner3516]

No one deserves a relaxing, smooth passage with amenities more than you. Enjoy!

[@nearlynormal]

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

[@truestory923]

Wish you had had KZbin channel 😛

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Uhuru's options and conveniences are outstanding! Goodonyas!

[@WindHippieSailing]

Thanks!

[@brendonnz1964]

What Design did you Build.

[@catshark12]

Awesome video as always.

[@Datsail]

I think a chilled passage in luxury is just what you deserve :)

[@Sp3ktral22]

Wow wow wow wow wow! The best sailing sunset ever! 19:54

[@cavemandancer]

9:40 omg a just think glassy calm ocean is just one of the most remarkable things...maybe not for sailing but still spectacular.

[@sailingnstuff]

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.

[@ghosthound818]

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!

[@marinstulic1153]

Beautiful voice, brave young girl.Fair Winds and Following Seas...⛵🏝️

[@coolblue5929]

Beautifully put 😊

[@kimberlyonseastar]

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.

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

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.

[@mmccartney6579]

Yay...creeping up on 100k subscribers! You go, Captain! Cheers! 😄

[@carmancloud]

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!

[@utrips4free]

This one was relaxing for me. Thanks for the great scenes.

[@brucewalker5890]

Well done Holly! Sailing in the 80s, HF, VHF only sextant, nav tables, almanac, paper charts, So different these days. Welcome to Australia.

[@cliffordbecker3275]

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

[@robgerety]

This is how the other half lives. Gorgeous boat.

[@ElizabethMargerle]

Thank you for your amazing realness and allowing me to live vicariously through your journey. ✌️

[@darrellpugh6186]

I also have a wind direction and speed indicator that i take with me always. 😎

[@WindHippieSailing]

Hehehe amazing:p

[@scottbaker9066]

This boat is like WOW! But you have more adventure with the Gecko. Your self-reliance and confidence is just so inspiring.

[@suzannechance5876]

You earned your rest, last passage was hellacious,eh? Also ...you deserve the 100K!

[@jeffhudson4817]

Looked like fun. Seeing all the trash brings tears to my eyes. People need to be better. Safe travels sister….

[@truestory923]

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

[@medogandcatadventure]

@@truestory923. So true

[@NobodyReport]

​@@truestory923 "its americas fault they don't collect their trash properly" L take. Put some points on the board of stfu

[@chhindz]

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.

[@williesful]

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 😊

[@bernie45l46]

I think it is so nice to do ,but I couldn't put up with all the customs and inspection. Stay safe.

[@jefffinlay3477]

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

[@piecesofbrokentime4803]

Lol, 😂 she's not quite there yet. But, she's more than earned them.though.

[@DarceeVorndran]

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

[@knutarneaakra6013]

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😊

[@truestory923]

We're all in love... End of the line 💁‍♀️😉

[@oreilly1237878]

So glad you arrived safely.

[@quolls2]

Morning 😀 welome to Australia 🇦🇺

[@egoodyear]

Yes. Welcome! I'm sorry it cost so much for customs.

[@richardherndon1541]

Will that was a very different passage from your last passage! Lol.

[@helenw7054]

Thanks, always inspiring, everyone should buy her a coffee ❤

[@bryansmith1920]

Holly lovely to hear your safe, it really has put a smile on my face, for this month of May

[@gss7271]

Wow Holly, i envy the richness of your life. I'm glad you can share your part of the world. Greg 🇨🇦

[@rogerramjet1969]

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)

[@GoneSailingCA]

nice sail Holly - thanks

[@DarwinianUniversal]

Give me one of your Gek storm ocean crossing videos anyday. But great to see you enjoying the luxury

[@Redfiregtag]

Ive never seen sock bookmark but hey i like it lol 0:31

[@roadboat9216]

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”.

[@loriwagoner6200]

Love your bookmark!

[@WindHippieSailing]

It's multifunctional

[@billb3444]

Hardly recognized the scrubbed up version of Holly. Funny the boat was built in my home town of Ipswich UK. Have fun

[@dansplett8303]

Great for you to have a break from sailing your vessel

[@joelabriola2493]

Nice to see you enjoying some friends company. 🎉

[@dougsrepair1060]

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.

[@prunar]

I was really enthralled by the pinisi-rigged schooners in Sorong! Thank you for providing such amazing content!

[@dentaltok]

Now that’s more my style ..1st class boat 👍😁.. cheers to all 🇨🇦🙋🏼‍♂️🙋‍♀️

[@PatrickMcCarthy-jb9rn]

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!!😎

[@sattway9]

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!

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

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

[@WindHippieSailing]

Thanks! I used to work on the american research boats that operate out of there

[@bryanrowell4793]

Nice book mark!😂

[@speteydog2260]

Holly I'm so glad you are doing well. 💕

[@marcellacruser951]

Glad you had the restful month. Looking forward to seeing what you got up to.

[@jeffmorton9220]

Wonderful episode! Thanks so much!

[@MaMa-st2eg]

You are one adventurous and cool person.....Love your videos....Real.....

[@propertymanagement7011]

Thanks Tish!

[@benshore7357]

Good times 🎉 I think you had a moment of clarity when comparing uhuru to gecko 🦎 crew plus bigger boat is more comfy

[@ecnaruaL]

no way i'm stopping in Os for that fleecing. How did a country once known for being a laid-back no bs kind of place get so uptight

[@tomas5376]

So nice to have such a relaxing trip! Plus you got schooled on entering Indonesia!

[@patreilly4293]

The quality of your videos is getting better and better. I really enjoyed this one!

[@SaltyPauly]

So glad you had a chill passage after what seemed to be a series of challenging passages.

[@johndorrington3461]

What a change of pace. There is nothing better than passage making with some friends and a chief!

[@Jaantoenen]

Happy that you made it yay and sorry that you have to be subjected to Brit authority.

[@woundedwhale786]

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 😊

[@katesmiles4208]

Welcome to Queensland ❤❤❤

[@carolhumphreys2829]

Thanks!

[@painfree.yourself]

Always a pleasure watching your videos. ❤

[@echoravenrider932]

Glad you got a nice rest!! ❤

[@contentforcoaches]

Wow, wow, wow!!! Beautiful!!

[@csjmoore]

I really enjoyed this passage but all of them are great. 100K is awesome, Cheers.

[@karlschmitt6231]

I’ve been watching for a couple years now and still really enjoy your channel!Peace !!

[@johntimmins1393]

Welcome to Paymore Australia

[@paulsteventon8315]

That was a great episode Holly and nice to see you enjoying some well deserved luxury. Love the videos. xxx

[@underthetornado]

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!!!

[@AlexejSvirid]

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! :-)

[@barryweaver8814]

You are the most amazing woman ‘ safe sailing👍👍😎

[@garywilliams72]

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.

[@JeanPhilippeArlet]

Amazing sailboat the Oyster

[@ASDPOWER]

Greetings from Perth!!

[@michaelg7076]

Love you, Holly.

[@richmorpurgo5554]

As always, thanks Holly. Now I can go work on my refit with motivation.

[@migesfishing7736]

What a beautiful boat... but its not as exciting watching... no suspense or drama about what might go wrong... LOL

[@coolblue5929]

Thank you for the beautiful chill content. The universe is glad you came.

[@DirkJacobsz]

Australia is a pain in the arse - said as an Ozzie - has a mate sail around the world - back to Fremantle - and they confiscated the butter - in a can - bought in Fremantle 18 months ago..what a treat being on a Swan..

[@karibakid]

In thec70s was sailing from Singapore Australia the black gang came aboard and also had to register our watches and rechecked before leaving by air real aresoles at airports also

[@moussabouhare6432]

You are really very strong 💪🏻

[@shellyek6237]

This was a great vlog. Thanks for sharing your travels with all of us.

[@eba44]

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)

[@MrJuvefrank]

Hi, Holly, I'm glad you're still making videos.

[@RuinInScotland]

Inspired sailing (powered) lovely scenes and takes ❤

[@alexanderduran7455]

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.

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

Great time with friends. 🤗💖

[@jackmarks2176]

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.

[@Tedroy]

13.00... Look at that glass! Truly spectacular.

[@johnhaug1747]

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. ;)

[@mattdoherty753]

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!

[@johnfraser6013]

Great times ~ thanks for sharing. 👍👍

[@UUBrahman]

Bravo Wind Hippie!

[@ASDPOWER]

Loving your chilled vids!!

[@lloydbrown9327]

Wow sailing in luxury! Dolphins always makes the trip more enjoyable. Why didn't you sail and meet up with the new crew?...too long?? It's nice to see everyone enjoying themselves, sailing with no stress and also no wind. Good for you! Take it easy and let someone else do the navigation! Stay safe from the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦

[@allenhaney9439]

Great content young lady. Your attitude is refreshing.

[@IndigoLotusSanctuary-zn2dd]

Live your sock book mark!

[@chrisstratton987]
