[@geraldbond9365]

thats pretty funny " Breaking Wind "🤣

[@maidengems304]

Your drone camera is awesome! As well as the ground camera! It feels like I'm there without the sweating!

[@kimprice1629]

One of my favorite videos you guys have done. Absolutely breathtaking aerial shots. Wow. And the music selection was spot on. Love this one! I had this moment where I said to myself, I’ll never see this in person but they are letting me see it through their eyes. Thank you 🙏

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Aww this is the sweetest feedback ever!! Soooo happy you felt like you were there with us, that is our goal and it feels great to know we achieved it. Thank you for following our journey and being here with us. Hugs 🤗🤗

[@catothecensor]

The wood carver was a real artist. Kudos to him from Italy! (and please note our reference threshold for “art” is quite high here in the Bel Paese… I’m genuinely impressed by such beautiful craftings)

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Yes such beautiful work!

[@BrianJones-vr9lc]

Grace your enthusiasm is wonderful to watch thanks for great videos. Be safe always you and Bill.

[@BillGornicki-qj9mk]

After such a difficult year, it’s wonderful to see you both “living the life“. 😊

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Thank you!!!

[@loisphillips5826]

Wow! Amazing video. Such amazing scenery. Incredible windy road to the top. Such friendly people. Thanks for sharing Bill and Grace. As always I love your choice of music and great narration. 💙😊

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tahliahere2362]

It’s so good seeing you both so happy & enjoying yourselves. A note re the wood carving, post it home before you reach NZ or Aus as I think you won’t be able to take it in there unless you pay for it to be radiated which I wouldn’t recommend as it can ruin it. Keep on enjoying yourselves, you deserve it

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Interesting.. didnt know that!

[@jenniferdavis8088]

Thank you for taking us on your adventures every week!!

[@olemanjim1415]

Hey guys!! Stunningly beautiful! Wow!! How can you not fall in love with this place? Move me in😂 and the people are so friendly. Some random lady shows you some random awesome place with cool carvings, nice! These islands will be hard to leave. Good stuff guys!! Be well my friends !!❤

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Thanks Jim! So gorgeous and so much fun! Hope you are doing well!

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Thank you. Wonderful video. Gorgeous scenery. So many sailors stop there but every time a new group gets there, I marvel at it all over again. Thank you for taking us along Grace and Bill. And Ben and Alie. I'll be watching your version of this in a few days.

[@brucerhodes8197]

The water looked so blue from the mountains, but the anchorages in the Marquesas always look a bit dark. I'm sure you already know, it's gonna be a big change when you reach the Tuamotu's, crystal clear, get that dive gear ready!! Loved the road trip, I've probably seen it before from others, but too often it's more like, 2 min of the ride and all the focus on the destination. Watching this, I could almost feel the breeze coming in the car window, just taking in breath taking scenery... Thanks as always for taking us along!!

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

awesome! glad you enjoyed!

[@shannonlowe2412]

What a happy place you guys have found. Great job again capturing the insane beauty. The fruit looks soo yummy, enjoy!

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@feanor3876]

It's like a very intimate national geographic episode through the places you and Bill visit. I love that fact as much as I appreciate the honesty of the passages, I am so grateful I found your channel.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

awesome!

[@ejs6010]

What a fantastic island. Love your videography.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BulletproofPastor]

Can you imagine waking up each day to such beauty and in time, take it for granted? Me neither.

[@esmith1771]

Gotta love the Polynesian singers harmony!! It has it's own native spirituality. So awesome!

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

beautiful isn't it!

[@moise171]

Our pleasure!

[@badpirate2326]

Makes my day to see your adventures

[@mitchellmccaffery4220]

Great video's. Makrut lime (also known as Kaffir lime) is what you found they use the leaves in Asian curries as well.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Good to know!

[@shannonstone865]

C’est magnifique!

[@marisaconner628]

Loved this island, the scenery, lush landscape, and what a beautiful turtle carving! And you got quite the food haul! Again loved the music you selected to go with this vlog! So happy you get to experience this place!

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@dennispatrick4999]

Great music choice during your Drone Shots on top of the mountain. Thank you. 🏝🏖🗻⛰️🏔

[@Ghost_Recon_Actual]

Mother Nature at her finest and allowing islanders to live within her tropical fruit trees for a while. Beautiful, thank you for posting these wonderful videos.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

so bountiful here!

[@davidnichols147]

Mind blowing episode Grace! Love the goats and rooster's.

[@jimdiamond8246]

It's good to see you both well and truly in the Pacific 👍 🇭🇲 🦘.

[@MrFroglips69]

Super cool and always groovy episode. The island is gorgeous, the tikka's were brilliant and the wood carvings were out of this world.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@karlfair]

Nice episode, thanks.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@shannonstone865]

Yay Land enjoy!

[@craigkepchar2619]

That is beautiful paradise. Thank you for bringing us along. All the Love, All the Power

[@donlindell1994]

How fun to meet such a talented wood carver. I think my boat would be filled with all manner of crazy things from everywhere. Finding that line between ‘eclectic decoration’ and ‘demented hoarder’ is so challenging.

[@chrischild6894]

Awesome video, awesome experience. Thanks for sharing, we always look forward to seeing your show

[@gregpeterman]

I love how genuine your videos always feel. I am sure there are times where things are a bit scripted but it rarely feels that way. Keep that s--t up!

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

thanks!

[@leehoffman3604]

If you look closely, you will probably see that the bird is eating insects off the horse's back. The bird helps the horse. Great video. Beautiful scenery. Thank you for a fun video on a Sunday.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Interesting!

[@maureenb7399]

This reminds me of the Road to Hana on Maui, though much less congested than Maui. Hope you are all enjoying your time there, it’s beautiful!

[@garycolemanml]

indeed

[@ThomasCurran-wj9nx]

thank you for taking us on your day journeys

[@sheerluckholmes5468]

The pink/red flower you are wanting to know about is Red Ginger _(Alpinia purpurata)_

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Thanks!

[@Tie-onsAdventures]

Hey guys , long time , again I feel like I catching up on videos, but every time I watch, I feel like I missed nothing, just you two just loving each other and video it. Thanks, and Bill your Rangers suck..... love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Lets go rangers! HA

[@nikdaud4866]

The "wrinkly" lime appears to be a kaffir lime fruit.. the leaves (double leaves) are used in South East Asian/Thai cooking!

[@puppyupper4565]

down to earth. Yet, sweet people. Thank you.

[@johnmagnan759]

That was a very reasonable price. I spent $300 here in the states Ang got just about as much as you did at the grocery store

[@yesbigfootyes6902]

WE SEE HAPPY +++

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

😀

[@georgemouliere8151]

So beautiful

[@davidsnider242]

Gorgeous

[@marshallc3]

This wonderful video made my day! I even watched the stupid makeup commercials just in case it helps. 😅

[@joycebrown6079]

Thats to scary for me, atop there! Beautiful view however!! :)

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

some of those turns felt a little sketchy!

[@dianaadams4212]

Actually, that price for your cordon bleu's isn't even bad compared to American inflation food cost (in my opinion)...food is quite expensive right now. Love your videos!

[@scottdoran-p6n]

Our largest mistake was not getting a long term visa for FP, next time we won’t make the same mistake. Currently in Thailand 🇨🇦❤️

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Us too! We are already cleared out in real time!

[@vc4850]

I thought you guys were lining up for a long term visa? What video was that where you were talking about your visa application process/strategy?

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

we couldn't get an appt to start the process, there was a backlog for the interview and it would have delayed our crossing date

[@mrbill8542]

Banana bread for everyone !!!!

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Bananas for dayzzzz LOL

[@skinnwalker4515]

Grace, here is an unsolicited business idea: start large scale egg farm operation in French Polynesia [Graceland Egg Farm]

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

haha love it!

[@b.crawford376]

Grace, we have to go back to knife skills in the kitchen. You two have awesome knives but scare the hell out of me cutting with them. Please be careful.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

🙃

[@stallion78]

@6:37 oh I thought that was father daughter in previous video. I guess I was wrong 😧

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

They are father/ daughter from Promise Kept 👍

[@tddnenc]

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]
