"Stuff" in the water is pollen from pine trees, that flyes out to sea during early summer. That can be seen a lot around the Baltic area and inside Danish waters at this time of year. Enjoy your trip 🙂
Can also be algeal bloom. It tends to be more "soupy" when clumping together on the coast, but looks quite a bit like that when spread out in the ocean
Now that is really interesting when you think about it in the context of Amber jewelry, etc. Very likely that is how that is formed. Neato
It’s almost certainly algae
I agree. I've seen pine pollen in the water many times and this resembles it perfectly.
@@mytreasurechess Sorry, the source of amber is resin oozing from the tree. As the Dothraki say, "Me nem nesa".
i've never sailed a day in my life, and i've only been on the ocean once in my life... but dude, you make this so ridiculously appealing. Keep doin what you do.
As someone who has deep sea fishes I’m large dual engine boats … the sheer balls to take a wind powered little sailboat into the ocean like this guy does is not even comprehend able.
Truely you would have to just not care at all about your own safety to like he did a plus 20 day solo sail across the Atlantic and he did the pacific ..
it’s something the camera can’t do justice for how sketchy the rough seas can be. And god forbid the mast break off and cause a catastrophic leak you would be in the middle of the ocean in a inflatable raft … hoping for a rescue .
Engine failure also electrical failure and you would really be in bad shape if it were to happen in middle of the voyage . Idk but the amount of redundancy I would have to have to even think of attempting something like this the boat probably wouldn’t float after I loaded it up !! Hahaha
I love this guys videos it’s about as dangerous a thing you could do in todays world.
And me looking up types of sailboats and prices.. My previous marine experience was one them submarines I put baking soda into..
11:32 Don't think I didn't recognize your little musical ditty there at the end.😊👍 CATCHY !
Two tips 1. If you launch the spinny with your jib out you will hopefully avoid the wrap on the forestay 2. When reaching try to rig your sheet outboard as far as you can. A snatch block positioned on the toe-rail allows you to keep the slot with the eased mainsail open and keep good sail shape. Should be noticeably faster and more comfortable.
I sail on a lake in northern Idaho and when it’s spring, early summer, the conifer trees are pollinating and when the wind kicks up you can see dust-like pollen blowing from the trees in clouds. When it settles onto the water the yellowish powder accumulates in patchy slicks that eventually churn into the first few feet of water looking exactly like what you’re showing. So for the yellowish streaks you’re observing to be pollen it would need to be the right season and there would need to be a source, like forests, that are upwind of your position. I was lightly anchored on a lee shore one day when I saw this yellow cloud coming toward me from the other side of the lake, it was yellowish pollen blown up by the squall that was headed my way. Had just enough time to start up the engine and pull up the anchor. Love your channel Sam.
We liked your beard, good disguise for the Southampton boat show. 😂 you walked too fast for us to say hi without looking like crazy followers. Keep the good work up. All the best.
We always get bands like that in Maine, it's usually pine pollen, shows up even way off shore.
Hammock looks the way to go Sam. [ edit ] Love your stove dial Sam. :)
Its blue-green algea / cyanobacteria on the water. A typical kind of algea in the Baltic Sea. It is mildly poisonous so swimming is not recommended. If you drink it you would surely get some symptoms and also swimming in it will likely cause some reactions on your skin. For smaller animals and also fish it could be lethal.
It's fun to experiment with sail twist. With light wind, true wind speed is often faster at the top of the mast compared to wind at sea level. That causes a nonintuitive difference in apparent wind angle between the top of the mast and sea level! Velocity of the whole boat is the same from top to bottom, and apparent wind is the vector sum of the two. So, because of faster wind at height, your apparent wind angle at the top of the mast is more abeam compared to the more forward apparent wind at boom height. As you say, the solution is to create twist by loosening the main, pulling the traveler up to bring the boom back into line, loosening the vang or tightening the topping lift.
Looks akin to algae plooms from reefs, the plants and creatures release their regeneration matter at an optimum moment based on lunar rotations to be carried away on the tides, hopefully to spread elsewhere and carry on their lifecycles.
'Regeneration matter.'
Creme of sum young reef
@@justinb4510 😅
It is probably something like that. Or maybe cyanobacteria. There isn't a tide on the Baltic though
529th liking the chill adventure for the 2,824th time. 2:45 'oops...' 4:50 - okay, I've heard of tie-dyed... but this looks more like tide-dye...
It’s not always success. You keep it all in (good and the bad) which is why your channel is so authentic. Another well done episode, thanks Sam
I took my Keelboat 101 course last Friday/Saturday on a Dufour 45.
Your lessons video from the other day was a great addition so I had a better idea of what was going on before I actually go onboard a vessel. Thank you Sam!
Such a "Vagabond"!!! Being young and healthy and free....and on Sailboats!!! ..... I'm on the couch in New England..... and enjoying whatcha do...🌊🌊🌊
Sailboat went backward, crazy. I like the boat under spinnaker. I think it looks cool.
The yellow stuff is algae, common in that sea due to over use of fertilizer in agriculture.
That red sky was fantastic!
Nothing is more de-moralizing than having your sailboat go BACKWARD! LOL
@KESHER time to start rowing >.< lol
Glad to see your doing well Sam! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures 🍻
Perfect title for this weeks news about the gas pipeline sabotage
Sam's the man - with a sailing plan. Great video update and thanks for sharing.
Sams the man with the plan who jams while eating spam from a can talking to the cam 😮
that's funny. I think of him as Sailor Sam 💯
@@paulholmes489 bravissimo!!!!
@@bctruck thank you! 🙏
Sailing alone in waters seems like an appealing aesthetic at this point. Love the vids.
Funky music at the end. I'm guessing it was our host jamming. I liked it!
great video Sam, the Pickle looks majestic with the spinnaker flying
Just found your channel, watched your video of 23 days alone on the Atlantic first, subbed, and am amazed to now see that you are actually very much nearby!
watch his Hawaii voyage, its very cool !!
Your songs are the thing I look for
Good stuff dude. Keep it up! If you ever make it to SF bay let me know!
I'll be a fan on your boat Sam.
dude i love your jazzy jams as much as i love your sailing
Not many things more enjoyable than drinking that first cup of coffee in the early morning while watching a new video from you Sam. Fair winds young man.
Don’t know how long you’ve had the hammock but it’s kind of a must on a boat…especially if you’re doing long voyages.
The music gave it a Napolean Dynamite feel!
At 13:00 that sounds like a Sam Holmes original music piece.
If there is ONE place you should visit (for a week?) sailing the Baltic Sea, it's Bornholm. Been there once, but it's soon two generations ago so I don't recall much. However, we also sailed to the tiny tiny island Christians Ø, and that I remember as a paradise for all reasons.
These keep getting better and better love this channel!
Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for posting
Another good one!
Love the jazzy tunes, thanks for sharing another great video ⛵️⛵️⛵️🥰
God I wish I had a sailboat. My Uncle had a huge sailboat and we used to sail Lake Ontario all the time when I was younger. We sailed the lake lengthwise twice (two week trip with stops) from Toronto to the Thousand Islands....best days of my life! Maybe one day.
That weird stuff in the water made me wonder if there are any like, sidegigs
for sailors to take water samples for Oceanographic Research Projects or something? Hmm.
Thanks for taking us along on all your adventures Sam! :j
Good to see you back on your boat, Sam. Keep up the good work.
Cool jam at the end!
youre the first i wanna break my ' ' no cash to youtube ' ' rule for, so i leave a comment
venmo or paypal him :) then no rules broken
Man your videos make me want to sail ASAP! Love these documentation-style videos and the one you made on how to sail. Can't wait to see more
Great video, thanks 👍
Checking back in Sam 👍
Sam I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work and good luck on your adventure.
Love the music in Bornholm. Crazy but compelling. You are an authentic individual, Sam.
Love your original jams
Yep, looks like algal floatsum to me too. Love the videos Sam!
I really love your music!
Great video Sam. Keep them coming!
Great vid sam keep it up
4:40 Those long lines of discoloration in the water are most likely results of Langmuir Circulations/Spirals.
From my J24 racing days a twisted spinnaker will unwrap it self if you pull down on the center of the foot, not sure if It will work as well if also around the head stay.
Hihi, it's fun to see your perspective on Bornholm, and also that you had good weather! Looks like it was a nice tour around Hammershus :) Great sailing up ahead!
Another great video!
thats why i always use a spring loaded solid vang it always improves sail shape
Very inspiring Sam keep up the good work...😉🤙
Great video, thanks for sharing. See you ⛵️
Tack!
Saludos /cheers from Santa Fe city Argentina
Great adjustment on the gib, looks like a great day for sailing. Enjoying your journey and learning a to from your adventures. Cheers from Tennessee
11:35 tired up to the wall, hella cool looking
Pilot house ketch? rigged, motorsailor.
Did you notice it?
Hello Sam! In the Baltic from calm serenity to rough seas, lightning, navigation of ships and sleepless night. Your a good mate and I think well qualified for skipper. I played PickleBall this morning Sam and I think of your journey often when I'm going to the court. I will join up with Patreon to help your support. Cheers Mate, from Oklahoma USA.
Thanks for nice video.
Thanks!
Thanks, Sam, for another great video. This is very exciting and motivating. I am preparing to close on a sailboat. I hope to get familiar with the boat and improve my skill, and then take off on a journey. I look forward to the next episode for you (and in my new adventure).
How'd you do?
Sam, you never let us down. You jump right into your videos, where as others have long, pointless intros with some canned music as if they are trying to make a Hollywood movie. You rock!
You have to raise the spinnaker in the shadow of the main.
I love these videos! It really makes me want to do this. Maybe when i retire. Oooo, Sam, good idea, i will sail to shores, make landfall, and metal detect. Lol. Keep the videos comin!
Workin on the fills ! Love it great footage n action. Go dumpling 🥟 amorphous
Red sail looks cool👍
Not much sleep with the auto-pilot going ... wrrr ... wrrr ... wrrr ...
Love the hammock!
What do you do about lighting strikes with aluminum mast? great video
Some of us Would like to have that opportunity to have failed so miserably at getting the spinnaker up not quick enough so sad when you’re out sailing. you enjoy and keep the videos coming
Sam, glad to see the mole grips still working on the gas cooker 💪
man mode =]
Sam , when people ask me how I’m doing ? I tell them that I’m becalmed ! Thanks for that .
Hi, question, is that a flat hose on the stbd side ? Looks like a tidy set up. Enjoy your vids, thanks
I assume that intermittent buzzing while you were lying in the hammock was the auto pilot? That would drive me nuts pretty quickly. Maybe provide enough motivation to eat that frog and service the wind vane. Love your videos, Sam - out in the world keeping it real and sharing with your fans!
I think the same every time I hear it. Then I wonder if it just seems annoying to me, here, in my annoying part of the world. I have to wonder if it was the thing steering for me so I could lay in a hammock while I cruised the Baltic, maybe it wouldn't be annoying at all!
@@MrJhchrist Good point - the level of annoyance may be directly proportional to the comfort or satisfaction derived from engagement in the activity or, in this case, the lack of activity that results from hammock enjoyment.
Some people hate it forever, some people get used to it pretty quickly. The expensive solution is to install an autopilot below deck.
I don't find it annoying at all in my boat. I just put it on, grab a few pillows and read a book or take a nap.
Sweet sunglasses!
Are you keeping the jib rolled out while setting the chute? If you do the chute cannot wrap on the forestay. Some sailors use a net or mesh jib just for preventing Spinnaker wrap. Very useful in the dark
No but i will try that
@@samholmessailing I learned this from the racers who go to Hawaii in the transpac. At night the boat surfs forward and you can't see the chute wrapping in time. So they put up a safety net which can be as simple as a very large fish net. On your boat you can roll the jib out 1/2 way and not affect the chute. But I prefer it all the way rolled out when setting and dousing, especially in strong winds, but cruisers ussually don't need a chute in strong winds
It’s all about the sailing!!!
I'm with you all of the way.
You should visit Gdansk when you are in the Baltic
Great idea to use the topping lift to get the top part of the sail to be more outboard and still let the Genoa fill. Do you ever tension the Leach line to get a fuller shape to the main?
I"ve tried adding and subtracting leech, I've found, strength of wind seems to make a difference in how each performs. Stronger wind, less leech, I know that seems counterintuitive, but, my real world tests, show this. I grant you, it is anecdotal. lower wind speeds, I tightened the leech, with the intent of creating more vacuum at the trailing edge of the sail, thus helping the Genoa, slip my air thru quicker. It seemed to work, but, it just might be that I'm biased by my own idea.
I should add, that boom height also makes a difference, there is a sweet spot, at least on my 30' Cape Dory Cutter Rig. (1981). mine happens to be right at the top of my bimini. LOL
The leach line is applied to stop flutter but no more I think.
Bornholm island was definitely worth the stop. Great old castle ruins.
Come to Wales Sam. 🍀
those waterborne bands are raw petroleum. it will look rusty, or like peanut butter & it’s usually from a leaky tanker or well leak. it takes a long time for it to be broken down enough to sink. I’ve encountered it like that many times & it’s nasty stuff. it sticks to everything, so I bet your hull & keel are/were coated.
Love this channel dudes living my dream life
Gold bullion preferably although I will accept Burmese rubies and chocolate of the Swiss variety.
Does a boom kicker do the similar thing ? Having issues with topping lift on my end,
Dumplings merge into one big dumple.
what boat do you sail ? the long keel looks like a hallberg monsun.
I would suspect it’s a form of Algae but I’m no marine biologist, to be in that kind of pattern though is interesting for sure.
"You gotta have fans on a boat" and food and water and fuel and a lady!! Thanx Sam!
u sure about that?
u can fast or catch food
boat is in water so desalinator or filter or tablets
fuel? sailboats only need wind
lady? nah go solo or overboard boat doesnt need anyone
This is just a guess, but I think those yellow bands are plumes from Coral. It's their way of reproducing, they will rise to the water surface, to repopulate a new area of the ocean.
does that make Pickle & Sam pollinators? 🐝🦋
There aren't really corals in the Baltic. My guess is either algae or cyanobacteria
Hey! Maybe someone already said, but the green streaks are algae blooming. Unfortunately there’s a lot of that going on every summer in the Baltic due to eutrophication…
It is crazy that he posted this video 2 weeks before the probable sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines off the coast of Bornholm...
