    You know you are watching a serious sailor when they clarify that not only are they 'in a house', but they are [drum roll] "plugged in to shore power" - almost fell on the floor laughing. Huge cred to both your sailing cudos and your video magic. Fair winds always and keep those one liners coming!!! Bill B

    Hi, Holly! I'd imagine that I'm not alone in wondering how on earth you don't have a sponsor(s) yet -- your content is, hands-down, absolutely, incredibly awesome and you are 100% the REAL DEAL! To top it off, in every video, you always express your gratitude to your supporters and to Tish for helping keep your voyage alive -- that speaks volumes to me about the kind of human being you are -- a damn fine one! Not to mention and it goes without saying, a damn fine sailor as well! Thanks for always inspiring me and countless others! Love you and fair winds! ⛵🌞

    The cave is in The Blue Lagoon with Brooke Shields when she was very young. What a time warp, the last time I saw that cave (grotto) was in the late 80s, and was drinking Fiji Babies on the 'dingy beach' as a much younger man. Wow, time marches on.

    I find you adventurous spirit amazing. Your willingness to venture forth with minimal gear extraordinary. You made it to NZ so that old sail must have somehow got you there. I wonder having been from Tonga and Fiji to NZ twince....Would you try that crossing with a compromised Main again, had you to do it all over again" Your spirit is rare and I applaud you. One thing you might consider. I suggest you give all the content to everybody to make your channel that much more interesting and grow your channel.

The interaction with family gives the viewer a little more insight to your personality and background... Best of course is seeing how happy it makes your favorite youtubers feel seeing and spending time with loved ones.
