I think back over my life’s adventures and how my mom worried about me. It’s nice to have a mom who cares. She’s been gone three years this Sept. I sure do miss her.
I would 100% love to see your "how to sail" videos, really looking forward to it. After watching your sail to Hawaii i felt so inspired that i bought my first sailboat, its just a small mirror dinghy but im learning as much i can to eventually upgrade to do some ocean sailing. Love your content and stay safe
I think your little tunes on all your instruments are great. More people need to go out on the boat camping or whatever and disconnect with all this day to day crap. Then they could understand life more. Love your videos Sam been with you for a long while. ❤️👍💯
My grandparents came from the archipelago off Stockholm..Finland. The Aland islands. Now I'm thinking of going back again..rent a boat this time. And thanks for the instruction from time to time!
Its so badass how you basically built your boat out, to your spec, and now you're cozily traveling around the world in it... There has to be a certain satisfying "pride of work" that comes with that... Something I need...
845th LIKE posted at 3:07 of the 5,145th view: "...you had me at '6 knots'...?!" Dang, Man - that's impressive... and probably a heckuvalotta fun. "Cheers!" from a desktop Phantom Shipmate. 5:54 = beautiful seascapes, too! And your own choonz... thereyago. "Six Smiles From Anywhere".
Generally Nordic people use the inside waterways - the archipelago. It's a challenge for a singlehanded sailor since you need to read the charts every quarter of a minute but it's such good sailing going near shore for hours upon hours. Intense and beautiful. Then at night you put out your stern anchor, just like you did, and tie your bow directly to an island, step ashore from the bow and do your cooking by the water. Basically as long as you are not encroaching on someones lawn you are allowed to. This is why most Swedish sailors cannot envision boatlife anywhere else - "But there is no archipelago..." (basically meaning, what use would it be to sail in another place where you cannot tie your boat to a rock for the night).
Look at you sailing with a tether! One minute you are sailing a Hobie to the Bahamas in one of the most dangerous acts I’ve seen and the next you are tethered in what look to be relatively calm conditions. Rock on Brother
Going down wind i bring the main in close so the leach becomes the leading edge. Take up the topping lift to give it a belly. Now the wind is directed into the jenny. Thanks for the video Cap.
🕷 Awesome Sam! Looks so pretty up there. That wooden boat building school is rad! Thanks for showing us that. I'm digging the musical compositions too! 👍 That spider was the star of the video though 😄 Does it leave messages in its web for you? "Time to reef" or "10 to starboard" 😆
Thanks for the video story, Sam - I very much look forward to each one you post, always something interesting! Makes me feel like I'm sharing your adventures with you. Best of luck along your journey and thanks for bringing me along!!
Great episode ..and nice little concert at the end.. I was in a 5 part rock and roll band back in the 60's.. we played Kinks .. Dave Clark Five...Stones.. Beattles and one band member had a toy organ that we stuck a mic in the back...and this guy was a moose with huge fingers and he rocked that toy organ that has half the keys yours has.. I think you are better than he was ..
I would really enjoy learning from your 'how to sail' videos. I love watching your posts, they are so interesting. Would happily pay for online sailing lesson videos 🙂 because I like the way you explain things, and your super-relaxed attitude.
In the early 1960s, Irving and Elektra Johnson took their 50' Gulfstar from the Mediterranean to the North Sea and the Baltic and back again via the canals. My maternal grand pappy was from a boat building village west of Stockholm. My paternal grand pappy was born in Estonia after his dad left Moscow when the bolsheviks came.
I thought that when you sailed to Hawaii, you were pretty well a novice sailor, now you are competent enough to teach other novices! Go for it! When I was a teenager, I and my 2 brothers bought a tiny dinghy that we learned the basics of catching the wind with. A few years later, my Dad bought a 505 boat, that was the fastest dinghy on the lake near our home.
Hello Sam thanks for showing us the wooden boat building School that was really nice I had to organize pretty good in there it looks like plenty of wood to build more boats. And yes play your keyboard more often that's pretty cool you're doing really good on it always enjoy the new sounds. One day before I'm too old if I can ever buy a sailboat I would love to have you teach me some sailing I love the mountains in the ocean I've been fishing in the ocean before on a fishing boat years ago before I was 18 with my dad and my uncle's fishing boat in Morro Bay California but life changes when you get older but thanks for sharing your videos you go to some awesome places I like that last place you answer that with a island in the trees that was a nice view. God bless you and stay safe my friend stay healthy watching from California USA
If the art of sailing is magical… then you’d have to be the magician’s apprentice. Everyone enjoys to witness the independence provided by a rich set of skills. It is otherwise known as being an “accomplished” individual. To see this in someone your age is “badass”. So yeah.
You are an inspiration buddy. Your youtube video is a How to Sam Holmes which is epic. How to sail advice I'm sure would be warmly recieved by novices and old salts alike.
In those conditions and that close to shore he was more likely to tangle up in that tether and asphyxiate than increase his safety in any way. It is different story offshore, clearly. But how does all the tripping hazard potential worth it if most risk of falling overboard is a loss of phone and a 5 minute swim??
Nice! And thank you thank you for wearing life vest and lines. -the mom

That's great! Sam is incredibly inspirational.
I think most of us wouldn't mind watching a "how to sail", but a "how to sail solo like Sam" would be awesome!
I always enjoy when you play your keyboard in your videos. It's a treat.
I think your little tunes on all your instruments are great. More people need to go out on the boat camping or whatever and disconnect with all this day to day crap. Then they could understand life more. Love your videos Sam been with you for a long while. ❤️👍💯
Great episode, Sam. I come for the sailing, but stay for the jams.
Wow! Looking rather dapper with the harness & life jacket! Way to go, Sam! TY!🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hello Sam from Louisiana. Been watching for a long time.
The piano at the end is just as great as the rest of the video :) if not more! Thanks for sharing Sam 👍
My grandparents came from the archipelago off Stockholm..Finland. The Aland islands. Now I'm thinking of going back again..rent a boat this time. And thanks for the instruction from time to time!
Sam's soulful song of the seven seas for us. Stay safe
I love Sam the composer! Nice video! 👍😀🙏
Really good demonstration of the whisker pole and the preventer, thanks.
That was a really nice wooden boat. Something magical about wooden boats.
I only watch the vidoes for the songs you make. Working through past vidoes and really enjoying it.
What no ABBA cover.... Brilllllliant Sam - thanks for sharing 👍
Sam's Sailing School!
Great idea on top of a book of your adventures and Seamanship!
Envious as always from the Chesapeake Bay. 👍
Sam Holmes "how to sail" video...?? I'm in!! The keyboard music works too! Love it! Cheers!
Its so badass how you basically built your boat out, to your spec, and now you're cozily traveling around the world in it... There has to be a certain satisfying "pride of work" that comes with that... Something I need...
Sam,,,i like the big over all view[wide] of you putting out the sails,,,,enjoy your video's keep going !!!!!
I'm here for the piano music and I love sailing vicariously, thank you Sam.
Swedes certainly know ‘a thing or two’ about boatbuilding.
It’s the Viking DNA
Beautiful and relaxing! I love that the only music on Sam's channel is that which he plays himself! The best
Those wooden boats are really cool. Quite an art, wooden boat building. I dig the resident 🕷.
That's a new term for me. Cool stuff!
Nice looks like a old movie film roll but you are the star of the show! :)
I enjoyed your compositions and playing. 🙂
Remarkable! Thank you Sam

12 knots of wind.
Nice to see it again! It was nice to sail there!!!
Really dug the song at the end. Nice work, Sam.

Cool video Sam. Thanks for sharing!
An Abba inspired music! How synchronistic.
A man of many talents.

Friends around the world! Everyone loves Sam!!
Yes.... How to sail, from parts of the boat, rigging, what makes a blue water boat, basics to sail trimming, radios, navigation, etc. Please!
Awesome show thank you!
Thanks!
Those are some beautiful boats in that school!
Awesome little sail boat.
Thanks for that interesting tour of the uninhabited island - it looks a lot like some islands on the Maine Island trail...
Very very excited for the "how to sail" video
I Love the "Sam Jams"™ You Rock!
Sam, you are a decent musician. Keep at it.
Looking forward to your "Learn to Sail" release, Sam!
13:54 yes! And don't forget to write a book or two along the way.
Going down wind i bring the main in close so the leach becomes the leading edge. Take up the topping lift to give it a belly. Now the wind is directed into the jenny.
Thanks for the video Cap.
Classic Sam Holmes video. Love the musical composition
Very nice video on the boat building school. Looking forward to the instructional videos. Nice music.
Thanks for sharing.
Love the spider cam. Never hurt the spiders that live outside.
What do you call two sailboats going in the same direction?
A race!
🕷 Awesome Sam! Looks so pretty up there. That wooden boat building school is rad! Thanks for showing us that. I'm digging the musical compositions too! 👍
That spider was the star of the video though 😄 Does it leave messages in its web for you? "Time to reef" or "10 to starboard" 😆
I look forward to seeing your Sailing video for THIS beginner who will never probably sail. A bad hip. I enjoy watching your videos Sam. 🙂
Come to Gävle and take me with u, 34 years old, COME AN MAN :D love to sail...
Thanks for the video story, Sam - I very much look forward to each one you post, always something interesting! Makes me feel like I'm sharing your adventures with you. Best of luck along your journey and thanks for bringing me along!!
Also looking forward to a Sam Holmes sailing video 🤘
great keyboard interlude!
Very good video!

Thanks again!
You are the man!
Love the doodlin on the keys, you're now a complete International man of mystery.

Really enjoy your sailing adventures. Music you played was also great.

Denmark is a beautiful place

Amazing sailing. Great video.
Love those traditional boats, no blocks! Cool
Yikes, i live in Estonia. And you are sneaking around here in the sea. Watch out for the shallows around the islands :D
I always enjoy your musical segues. I especially liked the time you accompanied the band with your sax on the dock.
Even though I am a seasoned sailor, I would love to see your video. I learn new stuff every time I sail. Yours would be fun to learn something from.
Thank you for explaining the purpose of the preventer line. I'm not a sailor but have gone 3 times last year off the coast of San Diego.
dude ... CREATING music while sailing is a must
you've made the going merry very happy today
sam never said anything about a contest so yeah try to not steal the guy's face

Like the music...

Excellent video - thanks!
🇨🇦 Okay, Okay, we’ll subscribe because you play music which is the “Universal Language”
Thank you 🙏🏼 from Calgary Canada 🇨🇦
Another enjoyable video. And keep bringing us the musical vibe along the way! Thanks, I really look forward to your posts.
Great content. Thanks for sharing. Hello from London : - )
Another banger of a song in there :)
Love your videos Sam , glad to see your clipping in while on deck. Cheers.
soooo glad to see you at last tethered - which for a solo sailor I'd have thought would be a natural mode 😉👍👏
In those conditions and that close to shore he was more likely to tangle up in that tether and asphyxiate than increase his safety in any way. It is different story offshore, clearly. But how does all the tripping hazard potential worth it if most risk of falling overboard is a loss of phone and a 5 minute swim??
@@NGC1433 Sam clips in when he's going at a certain clip and has to go forward at a certain clip to rig his boat. Out on the sea.
Nice tunes!
Wintering through the Med is gonna be metal 🤘
My favorite RUclips channel of all time.
I like your song Sam
I hope you take the time to visit the Vasa while in Stockholm, maybe give us some of your impressions.
Great video again as usual always interesting.
That tune at the end will be the next Disney theme song
I could hear a little RHCP in there.
Love to see you playing music out there Sam! Whether your sax, keyboard or whatever...
Dude you crack me up. I’m about to buy a liveaboard sail boat and you have helped. Thanks brother.
Awesome! love the tunes.
Nice 👍
Looking forward to your how to course. Good vid as always
Great fun Sam! thanks for the preventer Video! fair sails!
Great video as always. Love that outro pinao I wish it kept going for a while longer
