Thanks for watching and subscribing! You guys are the best!
YAS, I have watched you for months, like not Really,
But from the start to , seeing you father, to who you are….
You are the jam. Way to go lady….
Type A, World is yours.
So strong, ❤v
Hi Captain, it's so thrilling to see you on board, your presentation too so nice. Love to see you in your next voyage around Fiji.
Thank you for sailing to our small islands Captain Holly. Smooth sailing to you. May Moana and Tangaroa bless your sails....Bula!
You are very good at this. Lovely personality.
Keep up the good work !
Hi I've been watching your channel almost from the beginning , you certainly have come a long way and Improved your video.
Another great one. I'm a 76 year old single sailor, only travel around the Australian coast now,
Thanks for noticing! I've learned how to edit and film as I started crusing. It's nice to hear someone noticed though!
Just love your channel Holly I've watched all of your episodes and I'm a patreon. Best of luck to you
Thanks for becoming a Patron! I super appreciate it :)
You're very much a Captain.
The horse, the saddle, the man. (Old Cavalry saying.) "Captain Holly Martin" master and commander of The Sailing Vessel Gecko!
Well done ! You have a fan in Seattle USA
As a native Fijian, thank you very much for chosing Fiji as a stopover in your journey, and hope your stay has been pleasant and enjoyable.
Vinaka Vakalevu, clear skies and calm seas to you, Captain.
🙏🙏⛵⛵⚓⚓☀️☀️🇫🇯🇫🇯
Welcome to our humble shore👋👋
At last I feel good watching.
These nitty gritty detail of landing and departure in a country is "part of sailing" also.
Thanks.
It would be interesting to know if your parents named you after the character, Holly Martins, from the classic movie, The Third Man.
I think you will find that Fiji is easily as good cruising as French Polynesia, once you get out and around the Islands. Clearest water you will ever see..........................
Great video. Love from Vietnam!
Yayyyy Holly! How cool, fine job sailing and video.
Yes, Captain!
Great video sir. 😉
In the US Navy you don't have to be captain by rank to be captain of a ship.
Beautiful
Amor eres una berraca. Muy bien a espíritu
Hi..will you be meeting your followers in Fiji ..my family and I would love to meet..do let us if it's possible...hope your having a gud sail in fiji
How 'bout ...holly leaf, matin(bird) and a gecko surrounding your sailboat ha...chessy, yes! Dbl ha
Mister Captain Holly fun in Fiji 🇫🇯 Possible Kirsten wins this one, have some equality out there.
This old sailor watched this episode whimpering. I always wanted to go to Fuji, but never did. I stumbled onto your videos and have watched many of them. All my sailing days were on steam ships in the boiler rooms, but I always dreamed of sailing. Maybe next life. :)
Wow that must have been amazing! I bet you saw a lot of the world that way. If you wait around until my next episode, I sail to the Lau group of Fiji:)
@@WindHippieSailing Probably didn't see much from the boiler room, I'd expect, and being under the thumb of an employer.
@@WindHippieSailing send me invataion letter I visit we meet
Fuck this covid bullshit, rant over. Thank you for sharing your trip/ life with us happy waving... God Bless peace out.
You've been Captain since you left Maine, and single handed a 26ft boat down to and across the Caribbean, through the Canal and across most of the Pacific.
Fact that they didn't have a form for female Captain's in Fiji just tells you how rare a talent you have. Look forward to seeing Fiji.

That is VERY well stated
Yes, you are a fine Captain and Skipper Holly . Seeing you sailing “Gecko” in that lively sea state making land fall and looking so relaxed, composed and in tune with the boats motion was great. It’s marvelous, but the absolute best thing is seeing your joy and smile. It is uplifting. Fair winds “Mr.” Holly Martin.
Sheesh
Djk34💘💝🥰💖 are you single how old you are
Captain Martin
I just binge watched all your other uploads. I finished a few minutes ago. I was oh man now I gotta wait. This is awesome and I envy your adventure.
Def inspiring
Ahhh thanks! 😊
I'm so curious how much all of the fees added up to. Fiji is beautiful and very popular so I've always imagined it is somewhat expensive.
I second this question!
Congratulations CAPTAIN HOLLY MARTIN to you and your FANTASTIC BOAT for another, what looked like a sleep deprived sail. 5.5 Knotts doubled Reef, definitely intense. Here is a quote for a T shirt.
"A PERSON WHO GOES TO SEA FOR PLEASURE, WOULD GO TO HELL FOR A PASS TIME ".
How cool, all women involved in the clearing in procedure. As for the food, . It makes sense if it never reaches land, it shouldn't be an issue. But then everyone cannot be trusted with an honor system.
Well done to both.
I love Fiji, most wonderful people on earth. I definitely left my heart in Fiji. ❤
I would be interested in what the fee prices are as well.
Sails from Maine to Fiji.
Qualifies as Captain .
In a 28 footer....must agree with you!
After many days at sea, do you find it awkward to walk on dry land? :) Love your videos!
I've never had an issue with dry land, as much as I've sometimes wanted to just for the experience
You're a wonderful person Holly. Thank you for cheering up my day. God bless.
What a cool experience! And thank you for the shots of the market. I imagine it must sometimes feel very awkward to film in situations like that and I appreciate that you push through to share the experience as thoroughly as possible. You’re a great story-teller.
Thanks! And how insightful to acknowledge how damn awkward I feel filming other people. It's why I usually keep the camera on my boat and in my own face. But I really wanted to share the flavor of Fiji
@@WindHippieSailing It’s appreciated!
@@WindHippieSailing I loved all the town scenes, when I was there in 89' every thing in the market was arranged in 50 cent piles. Everything was 50 cents including a pineapple!
@@dylancanterbury8042 I wish it was still 89, everything is sitting on $2 piles now 😭
Hi Holly. Nice sail!
Looking forward to your vids in Fiji.
Stay well.
21:29 it makes me happy when people are spontaneous, not nice
I am also a full time cruiser. 70 and a retired engineer, familiar with pulling things apart and rebuilding them. The same is true for most full time cruisers. You are the real deal, Holly!
HAPPY SAILING..WELCOME TO FIJI Holly..WISHING YOU A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE TRIP ...TAKE XTRA CARE ON THE HIGH SEAS..GOD BLESS..
Sailing looks amazing I wish I knew how!!!
Congrats,Holly on you successful passage to Fiji. Great video with lots of good info. And btw, you certainly deserve the title of Capt. Holly. Thanks as always for sharing your adventure. You’re amazing. Dan. ✌️⛵️🇨🇦
WOW Holly, the "Little Yellow Flag" 😃🤩, Soooo innovative and industrious of you, every episode is simply delightful, it's such a joy whenever we get to see you, know you are well and enjoy your adventures with you. Thank you so much for sharing and may God Bless and keep you safe and well...
wow! just loved it all. i am imagining what it must have felt like after 18 days to walk on the land and smell all those wonderful land things and meet ppl fr all over and all those crusers. love u and yr freedom!!💖
EPIC HOLLY, THANX FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCES AND TRAVELS, HOPING TO ONE DAY MEET YOU, FROM SAN DIEGO, SHELTER ISLAND,💦 CA WITH MAHALO, ANCHORS AWAY ...BE SAFE 💞
Such a brave,beautiful soul.Much love ❤️ from Florida.
After a long passage, landfall is always welcome.
What do you think the biggest waves you been thru with that boat you have now. How big were the waves coming into Fiji for reference.
Fiji passages was some of the biggest stuff. I think I was seeing max 4m seas
Mr. Holly, I've been a fan since Curacao - never miss an episode! Good to see you make it to a new milestone. My grandfather was a sailing man but I'm more of a car guy. What are you gonna do. Either way it's working on engines! LOL, take care...
So much engine! Mine is slowly turning into a rusty old grump. I'm definitely learning a lot though
Good seeing you again in Fiji. Your a fearless adventurous lady, and Capt. is a good rank for your ability at sea. The sea on your passage at times looked scary, but I'm certain that you stay safe as possible and you know the rigging changes. So be safe and have fun on your travels. Your videos are great. 👍😎
I do miss sailing. 75 now. If my old bod would do it l'd be back out there in a minute.
Great arrival video! Good Health to you. Happy times down Fijian way.
Captain Holly ! Certainly no hyperbole. You're very much an accomplished and tested Captain. I just found you and subscribed to your videos. I will go back and watch from the beginning. I can only imagine the smell in the coconut oil processing company. Surely to bought some for cooking - it's delicious !. Fair winds and be safe.
I believe that cava is the traditional gift to the village chief when you are visiting Fiji outer islands .
I think you can get it in gift style packs / bundles .
If you liked French Polynesia , then you will love Fiji .
As usual a great video what a beautiful place shown by a beautiful person. Thanks
Very nice. Sigh. I miss sailing myself. ~14 years on vessels of various kinds. Primarily merchant vessels. Engineer.
Great job sailing to Fiji! I'm super excited to watch your new videos
Love your videos kid! Keep on enjoying life, it is really short, one day is just gone and your old. 💙💯 Puts a smile on me when I see a new Holly alert 🙃
I daydream about solo sailing around the behamas. You are so inspiring.
You should! It's so rewarding :)
I have had a rich and rewarding life but my one regret is not going cruising earlier :)
getting swabbed against your will is not ok
Really enjoy your videos. Just stumbled upon you not long ago. When I was maybe 18 or so, I had a friend who lived on an island nearby in the Puget Sound in Washington. His family had two sailboats and I once went out with just him and I for a few days while his parents followed us in the larger sail boat. It was an awesome memory and has always been something I wanted to do again, even though its been over a decade.
17:33: You forgot to wear your shoes! What happened: Did the government confiscate your shoes until you paid the bills? Are you being held hostage in Fiji? Let us know you're ok!
Haha! Fijians don't care if you're barefoot
@@WindHippieSailing Clearly! You just don't want your epic adventure to be de-railed by a rusty nail or something. But hey, whatever floats yer boat (See what I did there?)
Wow. Your pretty special Holly! How cool is the life you’ve chosen. Maybe you’ll run across my friend Captain John in the South Pacific. He is on the Cape Anne around Bora Bora. Safe travels! 😎
You are the best. Can't wait to see more!
Thank you Captain. Look forward to your on going story it’s inspirational
You are amazing, period. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
Love the totally groovy intro..plus the entire vid. Love it.
You live a very commendable and honorable life. Very motivational, please don’t stop these. Fair winds and following seas.
Wonderful to see Fiji with you ~ thank you for sharing your experiences Capt. Holly ! 👍👍
Somehow your vid showed up in my feed. Former Navy and appreciate your skill as a solo sailor. You have a new subscriber.
Super seaman, loved this episode Captain, thanks for sharing. ❤
Never made it to Fiji, only got to Tahiti. So your videos will be lovely to watch. Have a great time. 👍
New Holly! Just the ticket for a dreary Pennsylvania Monday.
And Holly doesn’t have to be buried in nasty political advertisements.
What a adventure you Are on…Mr. Holly!! 🌏⛵️😅 I love your vidoes🙏
Just started watching your videos and subscribed....just the few that I've watched...you are awesome!! Beautiful places you are stopping at! Stay safe!
Love this episode. Glad you made it alright. Enjoy Fiji!.

Holly, I would be curious to what the fees totaled up to. Just curious.

I just discovered your videos, Mr. Martin, and subscribed - stay safe, and I'll catch up as I head into a Minnesota winter!
Terima kasih kapten yang cantik telah berkongsi pengalaman. Love from Malaysia
Have a nice time in Fiji Holly! Grtz. From The Netherlands
Eres increible, vaya pedazo de viaje estas haciendo, y todo tu sola, suerte en todas tus navegaciones y buenos vientos....⛵️
Hey, if you want to sailing to Chuuk lagoon, let me know, so I can let family down there to provided support. Who knows, you can helping the young ppl down there to learn sailing, especially young woman ....Sailing safe!🙏🙏
You have the best attitude, combined with a strong mind, hoping you enjoy Fiji.
courageous and accomplished
You Are Amazing!
Hey yaaay!! New country! Glad u made it !!
Bula n vinaka for the upload, Captain.
Spent the 80's sailing the Yasawa and Mamnuca chain...enjoy!
Well done Capt Holly looking forward to the Fiji footage of islands you explored fair winds!!!
Cute. Looks like Fiji is doing you good
That was fun. I love the sound of your little “Coffee Pot” motor. The anchorage looks nicely tropical, and place to aim for later. I hope you get to do a check in at Lord Howe Island some time in the future. I’ve never seen the whole Copra process, but as a kid I played in the Copra sheds near the wharf in Port Moresby. Memories.
Really like how your boat is Functional and not perfect! Most of us sail like you! I enjoy your videos! Liked seeing the details about what it cost to arrive and stay at each location. Helps in planning for future sails.
