Fiji to New Zealand with No Engine Part 1 WHSE111

[@jdsell]

You are one of the bravest people I have ever heard of - fair winds and safe travels!

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

Very poetic! Yes, it's a rare and wonderful thing to find a kindred spirit to do such wild adventures with... kudos to your parents who obviously did you good!!!

[@painfree.yourself]

Wind Hippie Sailing is my most favorite KZbin channel ❤ thank you for sharing your adventures with us 😊

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

A few minutes with the Martin sisters can turn a bad day into a good day and a good day into a great day. You gotta love Teiga. She's always up for anything. Sail on ladies, sail on! ⛵😎😎

[@sailingwind326]

Any day on water is way better than a any day at the office !

[@BillySBC]

You guys are so inspirational and independent! And your sister has the cutest giggle... haha.

[@JamesTrimbee]

I like your stories most of all on the open ocean. I love the vibe.

[@johnnyhubbars9893]

Every sailor I watch (a lot of them) are discouraged being out on a flat, calm sea with no wind. I think that is where I would set up camp and hang out for a week or six. That would be my destination. No, I wouldn’t get bored.

[@richardboody6709]

So great to see you and your sister sailing

[@steveodeal1921]

You guys are building a real future for your selves, together as sisters. I don't text you much, but to say the love you guys for each other is awesome.

[@oldseadogcb3130]

My short Ode from a Seadog Old For something I like, if I may be so bold... See the Sisters sailing on the Sea One named Tika with Sailing Master Molly Though I'm far to old for that to be me As I've had all my time to be wild and free So I sit and watch capable Wind Hippie Who fills my heart like the living sap of a tree

[@jasminelestrade1921]

👋👋🤗 Hi sis , very wonderful to have you onboard with your sister👍life is all about , FAMILY , FAMILY , FAMILY ! 🙏👍👍

[@danroberts2055]

Really cool, you should do an episode where you introduce your whole family and what you did growing up.

[@shanep5121]

You have the best content of any channel I've seen. Not just sailing channels, but all of them.

[@nathantolton9711]

the long shots of the horizon just fill me with peace!!!! thanks

[@roadboat9216]

Good for you. When I was cruising, my 46’ boat had a 1700 mi motoring range! Yeah that will spoil you. But you have something even better………….your sister!! Yaaaay. So nice that you can do this together. And yes, it is a bit of a gutsy passage. You are amazing. Fair winds.

[@ChrisShute62]

I love your poetry, ladies. I think you should narrate the next leg of your voyage in verse. None of the other sailing channels are doing this! Hope you get all your repairs done, though.

[@MoviesFromUncle]

Thank y'all for sailing and not motoring around like the other sailing channels!

[@rolfebooth4095]

Hi Holly, just watched your latest video. My wife and I are sailors here in NZ. If you haven't already got a new main sail, look up Sam Burton from Burton sails in Tauranga. He made new sails for our boat and thet are beautifully made and very well priced compared to the other sail lofts in Auckland. Enjoy NZ I can't wait to see the rest of the passage.

[@brianrogers7543]

You just make the the best out of everything Holly… so admirable 🙏

[@robinwells8879]

Teiga’s smile is like sunshine. I suspect that you’re both making memories to last a lifetime. Go well!

[@murphmurph2124]

No engine and she just keeps going, Captain Holly you are a real hero

[@Heretic10001]

Your videos are very nicely done and very engaging. Really glad I found your channel and really enjoying your journey.

[@chrisw6337]

This can be a blustery trip especially this time of year. So far you have been lucky with the sea conditions, you can often get mega seas, not really dangerous but can be exhausting. Halfway through I was going to comment that the main might not last but I don’t think I deserve much credit for being right. Grew up in Auckland, did NZ Fiji several times racing and cruising and some round South Pacific trips so your videos bring back good memories. You are a very practical, hardy and courageous sailor and I hope you both enjoy the land of the long white cloud.

[@joerobilotta2199]

Sooo enjoy these videos with you 2. Thanks

[@geneberry7114]

Sure wish I could buddy boat with Wind Hippie, what a great life. : )

[@carmancloud]

Seriously such an amazing opportunity to experience this with your sister and to have the videos to look back on. And your ode game was brilliant!

[@lukemaas6747]

Adventurer, sailing master, explorer renaissance woman and now poet. Will wonders never cease?

[@monsterslayer4317]

The very models of modern major intrepid sailors! You are my hero, Holly!

[@portfoliofotoz]

Holly and Tika are my favorite sailing "couple."

[@AZ-vt7dt]

Quite a remarkable duo for sure....they are an awesome team.

[@discord2000]

Coolest youtube ocean passage ever! Wholesome and hilarious, you two are the bee's knees!

[@norman4991]

Thank you for another great video. Wonderful to see your love for your sister and how well you are working together on this voyage. Hoping you are enjoying your stay in New Zealand and the maintenance has progressed well. All the best!

[@vinegar_joe]

Another goodie - sharing your trip with your sister is a real blessing. Take care.

[@findingawilda]

I love your videos ,thank you for sharing :)

[@johnfraser6013]

Love your poetic playing of “Odes” ~ what a hoot! Sail on and enjoy, ladies! 👍👍

[@skaraborgcraft]

A treasured voyage you will both remember. I so wish i could have taken my brother on a voyage, but never to be and now estranged. That mainsail must have heard you talking about replacing it......

[@peterjohnstaples]

Good to see, real cruising as it is. (without the BS)

[@birdsongken]

Real sailor, real wind hippie! Good to see you having a calm trip! Thanks for your fun interesting videos and points of view.

[@0guiteo]

Great to see you two enjoying as well as learning about life. This is the stuff that you remember as an old person and think "Thank goodness I was free and able to have those experiences." More power to you.

[@hellequin911]

Wish I could contemplate sailing to New Zealand with no engine. You are fearless!

[@SV-Mig]

Been watching since the beginning and it’s wonderful to see your channel grow. One of my favorites for sure!!!❤

[@davie261]

What beautiful content you share and allow us to come along. I have followed for a while and love your honesty and willingness to show the good times and not so good. Such an adventure I am so glad to be included. You and your sister are a great team.

[@Chris-NZ]

Glad you made it here safely 😀✅

[@johnperry7534]

That’s a coursgeous adventure you’ve embarked on there. Full respect for you undertaking that voyage with no engine non the less . Wonderful sailing . I’m not a purist and I love an engine but I’m glad there’s still brave wonderful sailors prepared to entrust their own judgement and sailing skill.

[@johncooper5293]

Superb bit of sailing and entertaining video. Glad you made it ok and enjoyed travelling the NZ.

[@markgallagher1376]

Great to see you spending such quality time with your sister and laughing and having fun together. Those memories are priceless!!

[@davidnichols147]

Fantastic, it's so nice your sister is aboard on the way to New Zealand. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@russellclement2058]

Hi Holly and Tika ,, I haven't seen you for a while don't know why . Glad you are in NZ , worried about you , that stretch of water is so unpredictable Years ago I commented on how incredible you were and nothing has changed , 🙂Take care ,

[@bryansmith1920]

I actually smiled when I saw I could go spend time with my friends again

[@rainfinger]

You are amazing, having the attitude of never being defeated.

[@justdoi8909]

I love the clothespeg neck closure. For years after my children were out of nappies I still kept a big safety pin always attached as they come in handy so often, Justsaying

[@glenroberts7610]

Holly and Tika ,I've got to wait another week ye , but its going to be fun to see what you've done . So 2 hours off and 2 hours on , get fixing that sail so's you can be gone . If the waves make you qweezy take it easy , fetch the bucket and just say " O ....,that wasn't nice "🤢

[@barryhalesongwriter6835]

When you get to NZ, look into getting a 10 -15 hp outboard (sailboat length shaft) mounted on a transom that moves up and down. Make sure steering is tightened, start motor, steer how you normally would.

[@bertieb9510]

Nice to see you sailing so happily with your sister. My sailing was much less ambitious but the best times I had were the longer passages with my brother.

[@masonsmith858]

Best sailing show around. Brilliant stuff champion. Such badasses both of you.

[@jt_lancer]

I sure hope they have your exhaust manifold in New Zealand!

[@Andy_M986]

It's a boating nation,more boats per capita then any other country, they will have the parts.

[@dancrowe8274]

Thank you for sharing your travels.

[@naviramos]

Lovely n beautiful episode!

[@sdcofer52]

Loved both odes to a Lampost!

[@brucewymond5138]

Really nice episode Holly and Tiga - Odes were very fun/entertaining - thanks

[@wadeshore]

How nice to spend this time with your sister.

[@davidwoods304]

Thanks for taking us with you , wow . 😊

[@donemigholzjr.7344]

Could not be any more fun. Thanks for the good time.

[@the.wild.diaries]

Enjoyed watching your games on route. Ode to a lamppost 😆

[@joelabriola2493]

Love what a free spirit independent lady you are!❤

[@dieteroberkofler4342]

I ❤ watching your passages!

[@sukysailsfree]

Awesome.... great news... good you are keeping warm and happy you have those fleece pants. You're going to make clothespins fashionable.

[@jiefflerenard1228]

Sailing... and philosophy...and poetry !Are we spoiled or what ,..has to be Wind Hippie Sailing and Co 18:25 My answer : "time for tea". SMASH THAT THUMB UP ..darn it

[@Grand-paws]

Please include more video of you and your sister, one of my favorite videos home and hung out with her and singing songs

[@fishmut]

Awesome video Girls , glad you made it safe to NZ 💐

[@christip20]

It’s fun watching you two interact with each other in such a small place and still be so happy & inquisitive. One of the things that I’ve always admired about you Holly is that you don’t try to set us up with what we’re seeing, especially the weather. I won’t mention any names but it kind of makes you wonder what’s up when someone is on deck during a storm, talking about how bad it is……then, decides they need to “stop everything” to go dose the Dogs with a anti-depressant and has to WAKE THEM UP to do it…. I always know with your videos that if anything, you downplay so many things that would make anyone else feel insecure, anxious, and in a dangerous situation, but I have to remember that you have a “Skill Set” like very few people I’ve ever met , especially women…. That being said, I wish you would start posting daily! LOL! ❤😂

[@clevelandthomsen7042]

So badass! I love following along.

[@technopirate5050]

Love the vids me n my partner just brought a boat in pahia and sailed her to nelson via west coast first big trip together was a wild ride

[@SamuelKTennis]

Hello to Holly and to her two sisters. Please give an extra thank you to Trish for her managerial duties, or services, however she looks upon them! ;-) You are an inspiration. Sam

[@Sail-Ride-Walk-Repeat]

Heya, just found your channel and really like it. It's about sailing oh and the ode game which is fun. I'll go patreon when i get financial again. Stay wild.

[@bogus_not_me]

I'm constantly amazed at the two of you. Never a complaint about whatever the situation. Always positive and pleasant and confident in your ability to do whatever is needed. I'm a HUGE fan but sadly can't be a member of your pateron. 81 years old on limited fixed income,

[@gregorydamario7977]

Fair winds, following seas and strong sail tape! Good luck! Excellent channel. Real sailing and real adventures.

[@billhanna8838]

Fantastic , Just loved the spunk you show & Your sister for sailing enginles to NZ , That's not a small task .

[@hogey74]

Hey Holly nice to catch up with where ur at. If you come through Brisbane feel free to say hi. Those amazing, timeless skies. The way the picture changed as you moved the camera, apparently trying to capture the colours on camera that you can see IRL ...

[@JonBuhagiar]

You inspire, thank you for sharing your journey!

[@TheBeaker59]

Great video, so far the passage goes Ok but you are right its not a stretch of water to dawdle on. I will keep looking for you hope to run into you here in NZ.

[@gardnep]

Thanks, your best video yet. Great job from you and Tash. Time to publish your Odes to Sailing.

[@gardnep]

Print your odes on a t shirt

[@gmcenroe]

Great poetic journey! Thanks

[@rod8823]

Important boat project! Get some fabric/wool? dyes in NZ, then on your next passage, fill in the colors of your Pooh 'blanket' (artists brushes?) - then lie back, look up at it, reminisce and smile🙂 p.s. I see you're always smiling anyway 🙂👍

[@rod8823]

UV resistant dyes ? Anyone ??

[@santiagovasquez1404]

TY For Filming Your Adventure

[@williamstreet4304]

As you write your ode to fungus, remember that fungi include mushrooms. Chanterelles, oysters, shitake, morel. Fungi Good! - unless they are under your nails or on your feet.

[@lloydbrown9327]

Great work on your engine! We have to have lots of patience! The red bastard...lol. I love it and your since of humor. Stay safe! From the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦

[@jasminelestrade1921]

I love your videos , keep the great works🙏👍👍👋

[@MidniteClubII]

As usual... your flow is amazing..

[@koralove.designs]

Amazing videos. Could you make one, with a walk around your boat showing it's ins and outs? Cheers.

[@jaysummers9396]

Those odes were hilarious 😂😂😂

[@kevin5073]

Probably the worst summer in the North Island of New Zealand in my memory. Hope you enjoyed your stay!

[@MidniteClubII]

Both of you are hilarious... One of the best videos, loved it :( )

[@hollo500]

Your Lamp Post poems are actually pretty good!

[@tomas5376]

There's nothing like an ocean passage to bring true delight...and occasional storms, but Storms Never Last Baby!!⛵

[@mattmeiners985]

You are sooooo lucky to have family that loves you......

[@erents1]

You don’t have a motor but you have each other, stellar. You give me confidence to begin sailing my “new” 1995 Morgan 38. I’m new to Ocean sailing but if I am as courageous and as confident as you I will do just fine!

[@javidsattarzadeh160]

OMG all the best to you brave girl 🙏🙏🙏

[@sandeepnaicker4051]

I'm one of your biggest fan from 🇫🇯 I could have fixed your exhaust issue for free but dag I missed watching the upload when you were here in Fiji I was just few minutes away from the port love watching your channel have safe trip to Nz.

[@fishmut]

Sandeep … your a nice person to want to help them , shame you missed being of service to them , would have been great to get them out of trouble at the time , it’s a pitty your government immigration there doesn’t seem to care about safety for them , I feel annoyed about that , their visa was expired but could of let them get there engine fixed , not cool at all if they had to leave like that.

[@americanswan]

Reminds me of Jessica Watson's seven days without wind.
