Cruising the Lau Group of Fiji WHSE103

This ended up on my feed, decided to give it a watch. Good series of videos. This woman is doing this in a non luxury craft solo. What an adventure!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

She is great. She manages to cobble together solutions to all her challenges in fine form.

[@RichardinSiam]

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 I bet one day she will be the captain of a much larger vessel. Talk about real time resume, this would be it.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

@@RichardinSiam Absolutely.

[@reallynotyourbusiness1659]

Yes mate, Holly is the real thing...pushing that little ship across the Pacific, I am in awe of her.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

@@reallynotyourbusiness1659 I'm a little worried about that engine but if it craps out on her she should be able to afford a rebuild with our help.

[@BarefootSailingAdventures]

You're so inspiring 🙏

Enjoy fiji 🇫🇯 it's a beautiful part of the world and fijians will touch your heart

[@captainsukycannon1167]

Thanks for ride! Cheers! I would love to visit Talei’s village and island. What fun & respect!

[@sofakingkewel]

I'm thoroughly impressed by this young lady.

[@cianbutler]

An instrument should not be sitting and collecting dust. That sentiment overrides your sentimnetal connection with your guitar - a true gift 🤍

[@kellibice4861]

Amazing video. Love seeing how people from all around the globe live. How gracious of you to gift your beloved guitar! You are one bad ass woman!

[@jodyssey9921]

I love that there are people living somewhere where everything they need is right there. Just go out and get it.

[@mikefox1332]

This video is just another reason this old man follows you. You are generous and caring, very enduring.

[@dougsrepair1060]

This must have been such a wonderful experience. You are very fortunate Holly.

[@braithmiller]

I have to know about the pineapple tiller technology? Great respect and planning to bring locals what they need. Wish more sailors would act is such positive ways.

[@WindHippieSailing]

Haha oh yes the pineapple is integral to the self-steering system

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

I love Fiji but many uncharted reefs so your buddy boat idea was perfect! To bad you have to leave that country but cyclones are not to take likely.... we all shall return!!!

[@keithsumner1190]

I love seeing you with Olivia, another sailor I love to follow. You both rock!

[@peterkendrick590]

I enjoy your posts and salute the spirit you exhibit in the process. I recommend your channel to all my nieces and nephews, I believe in making memories, they become the real treasures of your life! Good Job Holly.

[@gneeley5393]

[@user-rs2ue3rs7y]

[@rainfinger]

Great video, showing respect for other cultures is something you do so very well.

[@Frankenstompbox]

I knew there was a dead head sticker somewhere on that boat!🙂

[@WindHippieSailing]

Not anymore 😭 I'll have to get another one

[@jasonpacific111]

Bula 🌸 Wow what an incredible sailing vlog !! 🏅🌺 and you're in the most wonderful magical remote part of the world.. Lau group

[@Reichenbachm]

Love your channel, really cool how you passed on your guitar!! I’m down hurt and I’m binging on your videos. They’re interesting and funny and soothing. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrLebro11]

What amazing hospitality. Another solo badass sailor. It was great to meet Olivia. So good to see you have a smooth sail to the atolls. Just what you needed after such a challenging one getting to Fiji. BTW…Your attitude throughout that passage is what I strive to emulate on those tough days out on the water. Love your work ❤

[@skaraborgcraft]

The paradox of sailing, most awesome memories, both good and scary. Carry on.

[@pauljamison3340]

Fiji, the best place in the world with the friendliest people ever!!!!

[@WindHippieSailing]

Agreed!

[@paton57]

WOW Holly your guitar is an amazing gift to give away, I can only imagine the stories it could tell.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I love that guitar. The Steal Your Face sticker was very prominently placed too. : ) (Old Deadhead here. Saw them play several times in the late 80's/early 90's before Jerry died). Btw the quality of the sunlight at the picnic was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this amazing place with us.

[@jeffpatty1388]

Fulanga! Such an amazing island, anchorage, and friendly village. Enjoy. Definitely hit bay of islands and Taveuni

[@jopeserea6618]

Talei is one of Fiji's well-known female singers. Thought she was overseas but never knew that she was out there on the island. Beautiful video of our beloved islands.

[@Wanderglobe]

Very cool. Just looked her up. Thanks for posting this.

[@rodneynikora358]

Thank you again Holly. Your channel is the best. Wishing you a very good time in your new exploration zone.

[@atuanderson]

You are just the most amazing inspiration!!! Awesome girl!!! Love the videos 💖

[@geneberry7114]

I so wish I could go buddy boating with Wind Hippie

[@sunjamrblues]

A long time ago I spent a year in Fulaga doing a marine biology project. We sailed there, same as you, and stayed anchored near Naividamu village most of the time. But we were the only yacht anchored in Fulaga, because you had to have government permission to go there at the time. While we were there, a huge hurricane came and virtually destroyed all 3 villages. Glad to see they are still thriving!

[@vertcaver]

Okay more WOW man, it looks like a true paradise there and that tease of a bite of pineapple I almost licked my phone...lol Smooth sailing o daughter of Neptune... Peace 🕊️☮️ out stay safe and as always Sail Onward...love ya...

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

That is the real challenge of the cruising life, making sure you stay on good terms with those whose land you visit.

[@johnrathbun2943]

That was just amazing. I would love to meet those people. I just love learning new cultural ways and how they just live. Maybe one day. Much love and waiting for next week. Bye

[@chrisyarnold6205]

Great to see you having a good sail to a stunning island. Looks as though Fiji has lots to offer the cruising lifestyle.

[@richardherndon1541]

Wow! That was awesome! It’s what we all imagine cruising is like!

I gotta give you credit. I just discovered your channel and I get seasick just watching the ocean. It’s not you though, I have an inner ear problem. I never could even go off the coast of New Jersey without getting seasick.

Hello Holly I always enjoyed watching your videos but you said you don't do ads but every time I watch any KZbin videos even your videos dad's always come up anyways. Glad to see you enjoying life out there I wish I could do that God bless you and stay safe

[@WindHippieSailing]

Hmm that's unfortunate. Sometimes youtube sticks ads on videos anyway without my consent

[@murphmurph2124]

Hi Holly, have fun be safe. Cool guitar 😎

[@wavelength7503]

Absolutely beautiful in so many ways. Pineapple for the Tillerman, instead of "Tea For The Tillerman " even though it should be Tillerwoman. Going to sea is similar to marriage, For Better or Worse ". As an old Hippie, musician, and of course a sailor. That was very moving, you giving your guitar away. An instrument is like another limb, with sentimental memories. That water is stunningly turquoise. WOW! those people have it made . It looked like a dream sail. Here is a tune that is perfect for your lifestyle. "COOL CHANGE", Little River Band.

[@WindHippieSailing]

Love that song! Thanks so much

[@WindHippieSailing]

Great vid. Major show of South Pacific girl power!

[@rlatkdtn1]

정말 놀랍습니다. 여성 혼자서 그 망망대해를 건너려고 생각한 것이 정말 대단합니다. 용기가 있는 남자도 이루기 어려운 태평양 횡단을 하는 당신에게 대한민국에서 응원을 합니다. 안전한 항해를 기원합니다. It's amazing. It's really amazing that a woman thought to cross that vast sea alone. Korea cheers you on as you cross the Pacific Ocean, which is difficult even for men with courage to accomplish. We wish you a safe voyage.

[@gerrymataia7554]

Fab video! Keep it up. When you said at 9:14 there's a lot of shit in the water, is that sewage dumped by other boats or just random objects?

[@WindHippieSailing]

Ah just random objects. Little floaty alive things that are good for the ecosystem but make us spoiled sailors complain :p

[@mikeprodanov6765]

Thank you sooooo much for sharing your traveling experiences....... awesome videos....

[@brianrogers7543]

Great video Hollie 🙌

[@henryravu1859]

You should ask Talei to sing for you..she's one of the best singer in Fiji. # watch her on KZbin at Nem & Talei.

[@FubarKen]

" if it were not for my love of the ocean, I would be long gone by now..." did I get that right?

[@ahazureus]

Hey Holly Girl, Cheers to ya Mate😀👍! Sooo Goood to see you again, 🤩"Off into the wild blue yonder"! (You know where Yon-duh is)? 🤣 I have a question, "The pineapple on the tiller"? Hmmm? Just wondering? If you get a sec. please? Let me know, God Bless you so much, you can't contain it all, fill your sails, calm the seas and His Face shine upon you...

[@coffee6783]

I see you met another incredible solo salty, Barry, from the Old Sea Dog, who also had a nightmare trip to Fiji!👍
