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!

@@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.

This must have been such a wonderful experience. You are very fortunate Holly.

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

I'm thoroughly impressed by this young lady.

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

You're so inspiring 🙏

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

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

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

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!

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.

Haha oh yes the pineapple is integral to the self-steering system

Wow just discovered your channel. Mucho respect young lady. I've watched almost all your videos. You go girl your something else indeed. 👍

I love Fiji but many uncharted reefs so your buddy boat idea was perfect! To bad you have to leave that country but cyclones are not to take likely.... we all shall return!!!

I knew there was a dead head sticker somewhere on that boat!🙂

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

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.

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

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 ❤

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

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

Dont ever leave the Pacific islands…😍spend atleast 5-6 years there🙏What a adventure to be in such wonderful places 🌏⛵️Best regards from Cold Norway🇳🇴

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

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

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

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

Talei is one of Fiji's well-known female singers. Thought she was overseas but never knew that she was out there on the island. Beautiful video of our beloved islands.

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.

Such a beautiful connection that cd only b made by sailing! 💦💫

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

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.

I so wish I could go buddy boating with Wind Hippie

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

Wow! That was awesome! It’s what we all imagine cruising is like!

Confidently happy, capable captain and vessel, love your channel!

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

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.

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

That is the real challenge of the cruising life, making sure you stay on good terms with those whose land you visit.

Great to see you having a good sail to a stunning island. Looks as though Fiji has lots to offer the cruising lifestyle.

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!

Just found you video.Good afternoon from Malaysia...

“Had me second guessing; we’ll a lot of things really”; hehehe… You are amazing!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful travels!

Your so awesome sharing such a amazing adventure with us 👍👍

Good for you young lady...safe sailing... cheers

What an amazing life you´re living!!! I have to get back to the office tomorrow and would rather rip my fingernails off with a pair of pliers....

Holly your the best! I hope you brought extra strings for the guitar lol. Might be hard to get some there. Awesome video Holly.

A Happy Holly is why I am here.

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

Thanks so much I liked the way you mingle and learn from locals

Hope you are going to go west and explore Yasawas and other beautiful areas ? The Lau Group has old Tongan influence Great vid thanks Holly

So cool to take gifts to the village

Outstanding video Captain Holly, just like a magic carpet ride. Enjoy yourself! ⛵😎

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.

Awesome adventure...what a good experience ❤
