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. 🙏🙏⛵⛵⚓⚓☀️☀️🇫🇯🇫🇯
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.

Captain Martin
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:)

In a 28 footer....must agree with you!
I do miss sailing. 75 now. If my old bod would do it l'd be back out there in a minute.
12:39 “the white zone is for loading and unloading only”, arf!!
After a long passage, landfall is always welcome.
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.

I have had a rich and rewarding life but my one regret is not going cruising earlier :)
Fuck this covid bullshit, rant over. Thank you for sharing your trip/ life with us happy waving... God Bless peace out.
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.
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!
