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]

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.

[@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!

[@stephentomlinson9500]

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

[@jodyssey9921]

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

[@captainsukycannon1167]

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

[@cianbutler]

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

[@mikefox1332]

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

[@BarefootSailingAdventures]

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

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Holly, love your vids. Love the interactions with the Fijian people. Keep going, keep sailing.

[@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

[@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.

[@paton57]

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

[@jasonpacific111]

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

[@rainfinger]

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

[@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.

[@skaraborgcraft]

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

[@user-rs2ue3rs7y]

it snowed 2 inches today here in Wisconsin and its only started winter, so ya fiji is looking good. i've been to guam and the P.I. and miss that weather.

[@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 ❤

[@carmancloud]

Dang Holly! I don’t think I would have been able to let go of that guitar. That was really beautiful. 💫

[@jeffpatty1388]

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

[@rons9197]

It’s good, it’s good , it’s really good out here now! As you smile and swirl into a dance in such beautiful lighting. Your the real deal glad I chose to follow your journey. Namaste

[@dbentley2195]

You live an amazing life kiddo! Kudos to you 💛💯

[@atuanderson]

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

[@SamuelKTennis]

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

[@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!

[@tom_anderson]

The guitar is such a cool gift, it is much more now than it was in the beginning.

[@thomassackett4091]

i love your END OF VIDEO WRAP SPEECH,it provides a behind the scene peek....

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

Oh yes we compared notes haha

[@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.
