I agree. Many channels like to have music added to some scenery shots. Honestly, I'm not watching a travel channel, I'm into it watching life of a guy doing some solo sailing.
I used to crew on a 108 ft 3-masted schooner that went along the Bahamian islands. There was a huge pod of dolphins that came by one evening, and from that point forward, a set of about 10 went with us for days. It is said that dolphins are the spirits of lost sailors, and why they hang out with boats-escorts and comforting creatures that for some reason always make you feel like you’re safe. So nice. What a lovely crossing. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
I love that you always show the sailing in your videos. As cool as the destinations are, I tune into sailing channels to see sailing and you're the best for that
@@samholmessailing That's great, I love those. The sailing sounds really are great background noise to put on. While you're here I just want to let you know that your channel was a big part of my inspiration to buy a sailboat. You sailing to hawaii was my first introduction to sailing at all actually. I'm launching it in FL in November, maybe I'll see you out there!
Your camera work is excellent especially as you doing everything solo. Drone shot of the boats on the turquoise water was unreal. Loved the dolphins 🐬 so cool
Crazy how you're out there sailing in the ocean all alone, dealing with everything nature can throw at you and it's always when you get back to port and have to deal with people that there are ever any problems.
ok, you've convinced me. Booked myself on a RYA Competent Crew course in a couple of weeks time. 53 years old, this is what I want to do when I retire in a few years.
There will be a crop of us gen xers born of millennial looking Sam. Also 53. Also just did RYA CC in May. Have the beginnings of the plan and boat. See you out there.
Sam, your videos make me really happy. I’ve been watching every upload since you crossed the Atlantic (more or less). You bring me an extreme amount of joy knowing that you’re living life to what looks like the fullest. Your calm brings me calm, especially when I’m having a crazy day, week or month. You’ve also inspiring me to try sailing, one day. I just wanted to let you know that your videos are valuable and I appreciate your effort to put them out in the world. See ya on the next one!
I keep saying it: you are a glass that overflows with positivity. It’s infectious - always smiling - never complaining, tomorrow will always be better than today. I’m a very keen (Mediterranean) sailor, and your videos are the ones that make me happiest. 🙏
Really enjoyed these last couple of videos, well balanced with footage of sailing, food prep, sea life, technique discussions, and just sharing what life is like aboard s boat. Super excited for Africa!!!
Bought your “I like the Ocean sticker came from America to me in Scotland Got it for my room and decided to place it on my gaming pc 😂. Love it so much and also the design is amazing with the yellow, orange and blues is so ‘summery’ and fun looking. Also I’m 17 and have been on many fishing boats, motor and some sailing but I’ve never sailed. Me and my Dad are hoping to get this one motorsailer next year and some of it is thanks to your amazing videos that have made me learn so much but I’d love to actually get out there and give it all a go. ❤ Love from Scotland 🏴 And keep up your amazing and inspiring videos Sam you’re great.
Another great video!! This is why to watch sailing videos - actual sailing; not a travel video of the places you go, but long term on the water. Well done!!
Dolphins use the bow waves for transportation. On a lake, you can foil behind ships, using the waves, too. I hope it is okay to point to this magnificent foiling video from Switzerland: AXIS ART V2 999 - Wake thieving from Nyon to Coppet behind CGN boat "Lausanne" Nature ist great!
So beautiful! Even the open ocean is so beautiful to me. You are living the life and I am very, very envious! All those beautiful dolphin and then the iridescent water! You could not ask for a more beautiful passage! Thanks for posting and I can't wait til your next post. Thanks for sharing!
Watching your videos always gets me on Facebook marketplace to look for inexpensive sailboats to enjoy some coastal adventures on here in New England. Perhaps I'll scoop something up for next summer. Dinghy sailing is fun but not adventurous enough! Life is short!
Just a tip on any fastening through the deck: use several wraps of teflon tape to “bulk up” the item is a good idea. Simply using Sikaflex will simply push out and will leak (eventually).
Hey Sam. Love the content mate. Looking forward to you sailing down here to Australia 🇦🇺!! Mate. I really hope you don’t always rely on one simple shackle pin to hold that anchor chain up !! If that pops in a storm you don’t want chain and an anchor swinging around and smashing a hole in the hull. Find a better and more secure way with a fail safe backup on longer passages. Keep up the great work. J
Doh!.. It took me ages to work out that you are not the same Sam who sails out of Pin Mill in Suffolk... England.. You have a very mid Atlantic accent Sam.. From a Brit... That's a compliment..
Hi Sam, great video as always. I have noticed in several of your videos that you usually sail with a line dropped in the water that drags behind the boat, what is it for?
Like magic the bioluminescence, experienced it myself a couple of weeks back (Biscay) and heavy dolphin traffic as well😃like playful puppy dogs of the sea.
He doesn't use a drone. He has the camera attached to a long, black pole. Great idea drones are prone to a very expensive loss. Sam is practical minded and thinks about what he's doing. the only thing I don't like about what he does though is tetherless swimming. Even in a Hobie 16 I never did that because those things could get away from you simply from being exposed to a sudden and persistent gust. Same with these boats.
@leecowell8165 Go back and watch the VERY beginning. That's a pretty long pole bud. Lol. You should quit or delete your comment, and I'll delete mine. 😊
I think the 2nd yacht with the blue hull and red ensign was the same that I saw in Barcelona a few days ago. They were moored at the kiwi end of Americas cup area.
Sam, if you're doing the Caribbean, Puerto Rico has several bio luminescent bays one of them is on the smaller island of Vieques, La Parguera is on the west side of the island and is the only one where boats are allowed.
Oh man you should overnight in Tarifa harbor before crossing over to Africa. Super cool town with Moorish castle and loads of history. Nearby sande dune bays are amazing and there's the nearby town of Bolonia to visit, which has the best preserved Roman ruins of the Iberian peninsula, an entire Roman town modeled after Rome and museum that explains it all. And Tarifa and the five "almadraba" towns around it still catch tuna using the exact same techniques as the Romans did. Finally, spectacular hiking around Betis and Punta Paloma, or just the beach hike between Bolonia and Punta Paloma. But watch out for those 16+ knot levante winds
the spear looking vessel sank a couple of days ago, very sad thing and very glad you managed to avoid all storms that happenend on the places you´ve visited fair winds and take care
Sam, 7:45 those wooden plank toe rails do seem to be holding up well after I guess 3 seasons, Atlantic crossing, North Sea, Biscay and the whole of the Med. What type of wood is it as it seems real tough and weather resistant??
I don't get the change of scenery, and ocean sailing lol, but , the boats we see, just wow, to me it has become part of it, I like the huge rooster tails ✌️
One day, one day soon I’ll be out there too! I go to look at a Allberg Rassy 31 monsun. Full keel and a hank on jib , been sitting for 20 . And of it’s in as good as shape as It looks. I will buy it and next summer or fall if I can get all the work done I am going to drop it in Lake Pepin here in Minnesota and motor sail it down the Mississippi River all the way to the Gulf and hang a left and cruise the coast of Florida and head to the keys then the Caribbean. Just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to chase my life long dream! I will dig into how to support you , I’ve never done that before, maybe I can send you a new winch handle every other month or so…thanks for the vids, especially liked the head cam footage or body cam footage . Good stuff! Thanks again ohh while I’m here is there anything like books that you’d suggest for a beginner?
I hope you kept the BAYFIELD 29 cause the bathroom was spacious & then used it to TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD in that FREE SAILBOAT you got. I am no sailor, but I wished I was when I was younger, I look at the boat designs and really found that interesting. The BAYFIELD 29 to me stands out for living space compared to other bluewater pocketcruisers.
Sailing up wind is really something. You wouldn't think it's possible. I think I'da gone tuna burger before hamburger. I take it back, those fish cakes looked delicious too.
Do you cleat the anchor line as well? Just seems like that pin could snap even under short sails. Could make for an exciting situation if it free spools. The water looks great!
Love these videos Sam, that massive boat at 4mins... is that the boat that has sank a few days ago!? Only come to mind after watching this and that's a HUGE mast yatch!
Ah MAN! Dolphins. I am very lucky to live close to the ocean. Whales and dolphins aplenty. I just saw something cool about the folk on a yacht throwing a rubber buoy or fender out into the wake on a piece of rope for the dolphins to play with. So cool.
Love your videos Sam. Did I hear you say you’re crossing to the Caribbean later this year? I grew up mostly around Grenada on a cruising boat and have a 34’ sloop I’ve had down there for many years. I spend four months each winter on Rocinante, wingfoiling every day I can. You’ve done so many of the same things, I feel like I’ve met you.😂 Lake Elisinore - I’ve flown there. I’m home on Vancouver Island making money but I’ll be south in late November. My boat is in Carriacou and survived another hurricane. 🍀 Be fun to Wingfoil together. I foiled around Carriacou twice last season - once each way.
Hi Sam, that’s what happens when you have an old yacht, but even with the new yachts today they still leak you like to see if you can put them in a plastic container sealed up anyway keep up the good work little pickle hearing from Australia
12:50- "I just wanna be dry!" 😅I think you might have chosen the wrong lifestyle for that.🤣 Much respect, though... and there's an important lesson here: if you wait until your boat is 100% watertight, you will never go anywhere. Meanwhile, you are going EVERYWHERE. Maybe try stowing your clean laundry in plastic tubs (or dry bags; more stowable) when on passage will help with that small problem?
Don't know how many followers you have from Gibraltar, but I live here. I'm sure you had problems getting into the marina last time you stopped in Gib, hoping it's smoother sailing this time around.
That main sail bag is a great idea. Sure beats tying off a buncha reef points. That water looks beautiful at the beginning there almost like you had a polarizing lens in front of the camera. Those dolphins are definitely hanging with you there probably having a ball with something different. Wow you're planning an Atlantic crossing to the Caribbean? Better wait until after the spinner season so we're talking wintertime here. Is Ann coming with you? Hope so that's gonna be a long, lonely trip without her now that you've met her.

The POV cam when you're working the sails is a nice addition to the videos.
Thanks I will try to add more of that in the future
I could not agree more.

Your videos ARE the best because you're a true SAILING SPIRIT, Sam. So much fun to watch.

Crazy how you're out there sailing in the ocean all alone, dealing with everything nature can throw at you and it's always when you get back to port and have to deal with people that there are ever any problems.
The bureaucracy and people is half the battle for sure.
I say it all the time myself. It's people!
@@samholmessailing "Little" people with big heads. Used to have bosses here in the states like that.
Sadly that's kind of a universally true... most people suck. I'd rather face a hurricane then a bored "Karen type" human
I just love your videos. Changed my life
ok, you've convinced me. Booked myself on a RYA Competent Crew course in a couple of weeks time.
53 years old, this is what I want to do when I retire in a few years.
Right on. Enjoy the class!
I’m a year older and signed a contract on my boat. Currently doing RYA coastal
I'm a year younger, joined a sailing club on the Thames (UK) and hopefully get a cruiser in a couple of years time.
There will be a crop of us gen xers born of millennial looking Sam. Also 53. Also just did RYA CC in May. Have the beginnings of the plan and boat. See you out there.
Sam, your videos make me really happy. I’ve been watching every upload since you crossed the Atlantic (more or less). You bring me an extreme amount of joy knowing that you’re living life to what looks like the fullest. Your calm brings me calm, especially when I’m having a crazy day, week or month. You’ve also inspiring me to try sailing, one day.
I just wanted to let you know that your videos are valuable and I appreciate your effort to put them out in the world.
See ya on the next one!
Happy to hear that!
Sam - Excellent videography and commentary! One of your best videos released to RUclips!
Glad you enjoyed it!

AXIS ART V2 999 - Wake thieving from Nyon to Coppet behind CGN boat "Lausanne"
Nature ist great!
The zoom does a good job of showing off the conditions. Seeing the boat pound against the waves really drives it home.
I said in my head “heck yeah” when I saw you dropped another beautiful video.
love your opening today showing the set up to start sailing
Loved the transition of day to night in the video at 13:58!
Thanks
Love the new head cam footage! It's an intimate view of the duties of a single hand sailor ,that's important to see. Thanks Sam keep it up...
These last few videos have been supreme. Well done Sam, keep it up.
Thanks a ton!
My daily dose of sailing 😁
Always great to see your videos!
So beautiful! Even the open ocean is so beautiful to me. You are living the life and I am very, very envious! All those beautiful dolphin and then the iridescent water! You could not ask for a more beautiful passage! Thanks for posting and I can't wait til your next post. Thanks for sharing!

Wow that Bio-luminescence is like on the movie Life of Pi. Amazing!
It’s the brightest I ever seen. usually even when it’s bright it doesn’t show up on the camera, but this showed up right on the camera too
Thank you sailing gourmet
Gunkholing AND wind catching! Very cool.
Your boat meals look fabulous Sam
Thanks for everything, Sam!
Hey! Sam really enjoying your videos and adventures. Perfect to watch, when I'm home on my parental leave. Greetings from ⛵️ 🇸🇪
That black sailboat was definitely a Bond villain ...
Just a tip on any fastening through the deck: use several wraps of teflon tape to “bulk up” the item is a good idea.
Simply using Sikaflex will simply push out and will leak (eventually).
Going past that cave under sail phenomenal
I wonder if the person who sold you pickled herring could begin to imagine the journey's that boat would take you on.
Thanks!
I did a DNA test recently and found out most of my ancestors are from Malaga Spain.. this video helped me see what they saw!
Oh yes!
Looks amazing 😎

No I have two pins incase one fails

as always, a pleasure to watch your work! you really get the idea of how it's like =)
brave man sam , keep it up ;)
Amazing video
Thanks!
Great video . Loved the racing
Like magic the bioluminescence, experienced it myself a couple of weeks back (Biscay) and heavy dolphin traffic as well😃like playful puppy dogs of the sea.
I saw you motor up in the dark on her channel.....Cool shot....you came out of the dark like something in a new bond flick.
Love to see what you’re cooking up each day! Delish!
That drone shot looked like your boat was floating on turquoise blue air.
He doesn't use a drone. He has the camera attached to a long, black pole. Great idea drones are prone to a very expensive loss. Sam is practical minded and thinks about what he's doing. the only thing I don't like about what he does though is tetherless swimming.

You should quit or delete your comment, and I'll delete mine. 😊
Fish cakes looked tasty. Asparagus a nice addition.
Sailing amongst giant, supervillain -esque boats, Sam escapes to ply the seas another day...
And the super yacht sank apparently- mike Lynch’s boat.
Superb work !

It's unsurpassed
happy reunion - enjoyed the reach.
it's gonna be an interesting trip
it was cool to see Ann-Elin's video too.
Awesome video. But now you’ll have to do a cooking show because most of us aren’t eating that well here on land.
Thats awesome bro!!!!!!!
But i give you kudos for sailing ⛵️ alone !!!!
Thanks for great sailing. What fuel does your cook stove use?
One uses butane and the other uses alcohol
Oh man you should overnight in Tarifa harbor before crossing over to Africa. Super cool town with Moorish castle and loads of history.

191st tag-along view about to set sail... here we go... 555th LIKE posted.
What weather routing app was that?
Nice one Sam, thanks.
Swimming with dolphins, nice!
the spear looking vessel sank a couple of days ago, very sad thing and very glad you managed to avoid all storms that happenend on the places you´ve visited
fair winds and take care
Oh no!
Mike Lynch’s ship, apparently his business partner died two days before in a car accident.
Sad to see this is the end of the med sailing. Has been my favorite part since you crossed the Atlantic.
What would u do without that hole in the water and the wind? Wait i donot want to know. Fabulous keep the sail adventures coming Sam. ❤😊🎉
I just bought the same winch handle on Amazon and I like the lock/release as well
That blue wake was somethin’ else…..
Sam, 7:45 those wooden plank toe rails do seem to be holding up well after I guess 3 seasons, Atlantic crossing, North Sea, Biscay and the whole of the Med. What type of wood is it as it seems real tough and weather resistant??
4:07 sweet looking boat!
I don't get the change of scenery, and ocean sailing lol, but , the boats we see, just wow, to me it has become part of it, I like the huge rooster tails ✌️
How do you keep the avocado fresh? How long can it last on the boat?
Maybe 4-6 days I guess. Depends how ripe it is when I buy it
One day, one day soon I’ll be out there too! I go to look at a Allberg Rassy 31 monsun.
Full keel and a hank on jib , been sitting for 20 . And of it’s in as good as shape as It looks. I will buy it and next summer or fall if I can get all the work done I am going to drop it in Lake Pepin here in Minnesota and motor sail it down the Mississippi River all the way to the Gulf and hang a left and cruise the coast of Florida and head to the keys then the Caribbean.

I sold the bayfield after the Florida adventure. No point having two sailboats that are pretty much the same
Do you clip the anchor stay pin so it can't wiggle its way out?
Yeah, I’ve lost a few. It still comes out sometimes, but it has a string on it this time.
Sailing up wind is really something. You wouldn't think it's possible. I think I'da gone tuna burger before hamburger. I take it back, those fish cakes looked delicious too.
You’re a legend!
Do you cleat the anchor line as well? Just seems like that pin could snap even under short sails. Could make for an exciting situation if it free spools. The water looks great!
Its locked off in two places. Occasionally the pin comes out.
@@samholmessailing I gotcha. Just curious. Thanks for the reply!
How close to present time are your videos been watching since your cruise to Hawaii
Love these videos Sam, that massive boat at 4mins... is that the boat that has sank a few days ago!? Only come to mind after watching this and that's a HUGE mast yatch!
Ah MAN! Dolphins. I am very lucky to live close to the ocean. Whales and dolphins aplenty. I just saw something cool about the folk on a yacht throwing a rubber buoy or fender out into the wake on a piece of rope for the dolphins to play with. So cool.
If you ever get a chance to visit the bioluminescent Bay in Puerto rico you'll love it
Sounds awesome
Great video. ⛵🐬🤗
Always look forward to your videos. You make it look exceedingly easy.
I forget why you aren’t using the windlass?
Because I dont want weak arms
@@samholmessailing it’s too late for me to strengthen my arms and back for that matter, but I like your thinking!

What licenses do you need?
Not much at all. Sometimes a boating safety certificate that you can do online.
