Abandoning my Boat for Temporary Land Life WHSE117

[@curmudgeon573]

We often despair about young people and their life choices and futures. And then we see you and your friends. And all is good in the world. You youngsters are remarkable.

[@markl1604]

Mountain bikes have made it easier to see things. 4 visits there before Milford track recovery walk after extreme injury to leg. Put me on path to a nicer acceptance with nature. Have grown many natives.

[@JorgeTarafa]

Been watching and supporting you frome the start. This is one of the best scripted and cinimaticly artistic episodes you have published! We'll done Holly and team!!!!

[@gangstagrandma]

You're living the best years of your life so very well Holly. Much respect and thank you for sharing.

[@lindairving478]

What a trip down memory lane. Met my husband in NZ - he sailed there from Denmark on a 30' Bandholm. We travelled from Opua to the South Island and did the requisite hiking, glaciers, and sightseeing in an old Toyota Hiace van handed down from other sailors in Opua. Totally get that NZ buzz from the incredible scenery, chill people, and sense of total freedom...

[@tammy6992]

Oh, that was amazing. I have goosebumps and tears all at the same time that last part the dialogue was profound.

[@Ellerysdad]

Holly you are a very nice storyteller thank you and happy trails

[@Wapa1945]

Well done. NZ and its people are the best. Good shots and narrative.

[@geezenslaw]

More skills than just sailing... Great views and scenery from NZ... fantastic to follow along... Safe Cycling...!

[@shelby383]

Living in NZ I feel I need to apologise for the worst weather we have experienced even though I have no control over it!

[@Davespenathome]

I took me hours of scrolling past it for me to realise the picture of two people in camping chairs sat on a hillside was one of my favourite sailing channels

[@cnc75adventures49]

I love your spirit your such a amazing woman ❤ thank you for sharing this awesome adventure 👍👍

[@dougsrepair1060]

Holly, you are living the life many will only dream of. Be happy for your experiences because you are not only creating content for us to enjoy, you are creating memories for yourself. If only we could be your age again.

[@anonymousanonymous5332]

That’s my home country. Such a pleasure to see you explore her. You amaze me as always xo Tarns

[@JonBuhagiar]

You have a beautiful way with words. Your enthusiasm is infectious, bless you! Great choice of music as well :)

[@UUBrahman]

Fantastic, particularly the Thoreau like observations on Nature at the end of the video.

[@JohnDrummondVA]

Thanks fr taking us along on your adventures!

[@Lannie1948]

Really enjoyed this episode……very poetic commentary and beautiful scenery. So admire your sense of adventure 😊

[@leehoffman3604]

What a great video. What beautiful and thoughtful commentary, as usual. You looked at home on land as you do on the sea. Great diversion.

[@bryancohn9406]

Loved the change up on your adventure! Looking forward to the next and seeing more of New Zealand.

[@JConk007]

Love this !! way to mix it up I am also a BIG Mnt Biker who loves to sail!! from Oriental NC ! The scenery is stunning !! Keep rollin and you'll be clearing the gap just like the Boys !! have FUN!!

[@shanep5121]

Lake Norman here. Hello from Best Carolina.

[@JConk007]

@@shanep5121 Nice little Lake ! but some fluky winds :) and a few stumps. so I do Jordan on my Powerboat :) yes thats thing #2

[@shanep5121]

@@JConk007 yea, and it's dirty water (thanks, Duke Power) but it's 512 miles of coast, so a lot of room. But thanks for mentioning the stumps. I hadn't thought about that. Where would they be coming from? Are people throwing trees in the water? Surely any trees that were there when they flooded would be rotten away by now, right? I'll have to ask around and see where to avoid.

[@brucerhodes8197]

Great episode! It's fun to see you out of your normal realm, Dan seems like a great traveling partner too, another very adventurous soul... Looking forward to see you and your sister hamming it up on land for a change... lol

[@kleerism]

Thank you for all you do. You have got me into sailing and I appreciate you. Enjoy your shore time

[@Westsail]

Your videos just keep getting better and better. Thank you for allowing us in your life. Still my favorite channel 👍👍👍

[@alexandramorkin400]

Awesome…safe travels. Excited to see the adventures ahead!

[@calebtatro6512]

This was a great episode Holly! I really loved how you produced it👌🏻

[@dbentley2195]

Awesome fun. Dang look at Hollie rip on those trails. 😮❤ Awesome!

[@annewinning9723]

So glad you are enjoying mtn biking - what a way to immerse yourself - great episode.

[@ericm8811]

Hey wind hippie! 7 large piles of thanks for all the awesome vids! I got my first mountain bike in 85 in the MTB mecca of Whistler BC Canada! Mount a bike rack to Gekko and sail to Squamish which is 30 mins from Whistler and has world class kite boarding! Have fun! Ride ride ride!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Outstanding footage of New Zealand Captain! Y'all enjoy yourselves and have a wonderful Memorial Day!

[@jodyssey9921]

Interesting. I started out bicycle touring and am switching to sailing.😂 I feel the two have a lot in common as well and compared to living out of panniers a small boat will be luxury. I'm getting old now and sailing sounds easier than pedaling all day.😂

[@norman4991]

Thank you Holly showing us do much of our country. Love your attitude, skill and perfect videos. Be safe and enjoy life!

[@propertymanagement7011]

Thanks Tish!

[@akLeanne]

You look so happy.. that was quite the story telling about life and balance. I was quite impressed.. Great job

[@matthewmc4363]

Yo-yo yo yo yo. Your “tag” OWNS IT. Whatevas. Your so rad and I am actually tearing up. If one. I am delighted E lighted. You did it.

[@comeandtravel1]

Keep living the dream! You're nailing it!

[@jackrichards1863]

Real enjoyment in seeing you soak up some of the magnificent antipodes Holly. Looking forward to the next instalment from your adventure.

[@m0tze07]

Beautiful, Holly. Thank you! I really enjoy your travelogue and coincidentally feel the same way about nature, solitude, boats and bikes 🙂. Safe travels!

[@ExposingReflections]

Another great episode. Well done. Your narration was fantastic. Its nice to hear you've stumbled upon some profound truths and are kind enough to shsre them. You look very refreshed by the end of the vid. Its good to see. Thanks to the Great country of New Zealand and all the wonderful people that made your stay amazing.

[@TexasDoug393]

I did the train from Auckland to Wellington, ferried to Picton, train to Christchurch, train to Greymouth, then backtracked the whole way. Great different, up closer, perspective here!

[@dareangelmusic]

I enjoy "hanging out" with you on land as much as the sea! NZ looks amazing!

[@withersfrance]

Loved this episode and how it puts everything you do afloat into context.

[@Sparrowwest]

Awesome video Holly!!! You passed through my home town of Westport twice :) Mount Hutt is where I learnt to snowboard too. safe travels :)

[@BillySBC]

Wow enjoy your adventure Holly! Great life you have going on, enjoy!

[@cornishhh]

A beautiful country NZ. I'm impressed to went to Greymouth and it wasn't raining.

[@benalexander9907]

Love it. Hope your taking it all in , stop and smell the roses 🌹. God bless you on your travels

[@salpairadice]

I am probably 2/3 bike and 1/3 sail and watching your videos lets me know I go around in very small circles on both. Loved the video, made me glad I am a supporter. Thanks

[@ke6drl]

You resemble my Granddaughter quite a bit. I showed Her one of your videos today. She was knocked out. She wants to learn to sail now. 😊

[@justdoi8909]

How doubly special that it was in NZ that this reconnection with the whenua happened. X

[@josiahhill4993]

Wow, that was beautifully worded. 19:03

[@GNashOldJazzDrummer]

I love it!! Been looking at boats more since I’ve been watching you.

[@GMaX-Eire-forever]

Fabulous content. I too am an adventurous spirit and iv'e been flying gliders of 15 to 20meters this 20 years harnessing the power of nature without engine power just using the energy from the atmosphere, much like the sailing you do! The gliders are constructed with glass fibre and carbon just like sail boats and I fly them across the mountains of Ireland for adventure. Recently I've decided to take up sailing and since I live by the sea and being inspired by videos especially from yourself It's an adventure just waiting . Thankyou for the inspiration and congratulations on all your achievements .

[@claramullen]

It's good to get your land legs for a while now and then. It looks like you are pretty good on two wheels as well and having a great time.

[@MattAndersen-nd2lp]

Perfect timing, just sat for the last of the sun looking for something reliably good to watch! 😊

[@mowhoknow5098]

Excellent video Hollie! Great adventure beautiful scenes and along with any ivy I may have seen, I saw some envy too but that was my screen reflection. Have fun stay cool be safe!

[@williesful]

Bummer with our summer here, gizzie weather is normally hot and beautiful, thinking you did some magic with the that North Island West Coast road tunnel in Taranaki unless you came that way to Wellington lol. Great video so glad you got to see the county.

[@hellojenny24]

Holly you're fearless ❤

[@johnbeck2797]

Glad you had an opportunity to enjoy some color, differently from your usual travels.

[@andersnilsson6625]

Where is the helmet when you ride a bike?? 😢 And by the way, amazing views.

Hey Holz... You were within a few km of my place when you headed to the Old Ghost Rd...I was hoping to bump into you when you were in NZ!

[@willieidle8122]

Whitianga is my home port! Hope you hd a great stay on the Coromandel Peninsula and in New Zealand! Kia kaha

[@sailinggemini]

Thank you so much Holly for getting us into sailing and now we are circumnavigating the Uk 🇬🇧 we have followed you on your adventure from the start and wish you the best of luck 😊

[@giterdunpete]

I follow you but never expect to be in the same place at the same time as you.....All i could do is shout you a beer ....but it would be great to meet someone that i follow. Anyway i am from the Gold Coast, BUT i was in Queenstown and Wanaka in March for my daughters wedding AND rode the carts (not the bikes) at Cardrona ski field. And I have been a long long time skier at Mt Hutt. So it was nice to see familiar places to me.

[@rogerlong2314]

Thanks!

[@catherinesecula5287]

Hello , a great preparation to leave your boat, you can too next time put plugs from outside into the seacocks so when you come back , nothing will grow inside them , and blocked them , when they are regularly used ..in NZ , they do not have a regular inspections of mooring? Like in Australia .accredited divers dive to inspect registered mooring asparagus or in many place they have a special barge who lift the mooring asparagus to check it ? It is compulsory in Australia do do it every 12 months to renew registered mooring , and really more than compulsory it is in my opinion a necessity.. take care

[@_PJW_]

18:22 : "if we know the right places to look". Look up! There are some great gliding clubs in NZ. Get in contact. Shouldn't be too much of a problem to get some flights. It will rock the world as you know it!

[@onsdag2k]

Wow! Holly Great vid, amaizing editing... 👍👍👍👍👍

Captain,, this a beautiful video. I'm touched.

hi holly ,love watching your adventures, and your great attitude when at sea or on land. you mentioned milford sound , im from milford haven in wales where the sailor who named milford sound sailed from, i believe there is also a llawrenny in your area and various other names that are the same as here. small world eh? have fun !

[@Potsie]

Excellent video with well spoken narration.

[@jillysilly2265]

Brava! Thank you for the joy you communicate😁

[@orangekayak]

"One of the things I crave is being a small human in a large natural world." Years ago I built a bus and drove a year around the US and Canada. It was a fascinating adventure and in the days of paper maps that highlighted the entire route taken. While there was so much to see, it was ultimately along a small thread of what is a huge country. There is no way anyone will experience everything the world has to offer, but if you can be still in the places you go, you can see the entire universe in anything.

[@paulfreer1302]

We have friends in Aukland NZ is beautiful. Enjoy

[@FullyAMPT]

How good is NZ I could quite easily live there Some adventure your having Love it

[@timhardman4764]

[@JeremAl]

So awesome! Congrats on living the best life!!!

Is so cool that you spent some time riding around Canterbury. We ski/board at Mt Hutt, and my boys have spent holidays at the chch bike park. I tell them all the time, they don’t know how lucky we are! ❤

[@textickulartrauma8287]

You are a fantastic story teller!

[@michaelmclellan469]

I'm a fan... especially nice words this episode, especially cool.

[@deprivacyofficialpage2927]

Enjoy our beautiful country!

[@Tedroy]

Yep, bikes are fun!

[@johnrathbun2943]

Keep your eyes open for Hobbits! Okay I finished watching the rest of the video and I want to let you know Hobbits don't like vans or cars. I not so sure about bikes but keep your eyes open cause you might get to see Dwarfs. Okay this was a good video. I find New Zealand very interesting. It's on my bucket list when I get my sailboat. But okay, thanks for sharing and I'll see you next week, chow.

[@mainethoughts]

This is one of your best ever!
