Bravo! Atta boy Sam! Yes, food works pretty well too. haha Eat healthy is a great idea. I'm really proud of you (I'm sure that means a lot. lol) And thank god not every video will have the AG1 ad pitch, it's so annoying. I'm subscribed to a couple channels that continuously plug them. Maybe you should create your own ad plug for, oh let's see...Oranges? Bananas? Blueberries? Grass fed beef? Fish?
Is there enough data on these Orca Encounters to know how to avoid them? For example, weather conditions, night vs day, sea state?? Maybe planning for fowl weather is what is needed for that passage?
You coming Newcastle upon Tyne way at all? Fancy some company? I got funds, tools, skills, personality! Had enough of dreaming now time to wake up and jump in, best to try before you buy right? I still think I’ll buy and begin my journey of freedom! There’s a boat waiting for me out there I just need to be where it is! Your the man Sam! 🫶😎🤙
As a chef of many years it made me so happy to hear someone else state the obvious nothing is better than natural food you can take all your expensive supplements and replace them with reasonably costed food which is way more fun and miles better for you.
@@221b-l3ttoo much protien is bad for you, which excessive protein is stored as fat (or burned as energy). Carbs are a key macro needed to function properly. Carbs=energy. Low carb diets are unhealthy and are a fad (unless you are under a medical diet). You stated you need meat or you'll pass out, it sounds like you need carbs in your diet. Also 1200cal diets are very unhealthy, which fast weight loss can cause health issues. You should talk to a nutritionist.
So glad for this! Thank you so much for not promoting the BS drink like so many other sailing channels are doing! Yay for integrity! Too bad those other sailors promote with nebulous claims of "more energy", "more focus"...more BS I say. It if truly gave more focus, they'd realize they'd been duped and stop using it. Applause to you! (PS I also have a CD28).
LMAO!!! I can't believe you crapped on AG! That was so AWESOME! Every other sailing RUclips channel has that:-) Great video as always, thanks for sharing!
Your AG1 non commercial made me laugh. I'm kind of sick of hearing about it. I appreciate that you have some integrity about not shilling for something you wouldn't use.
Still better than squarespace and those stupid ball shaving garbage. Those damn trimmers are so overpriced and pretend like "skin save technology" isn't in every damn razor that costs more than 20 bucks. And of course special creams and ointments because "apply off brand lotion and perfume" is not exactly profitable. So we get fancy tiny little bottles of overpriced goop that could easily be replaced by a 3 dollar 2 L bottle of generic goop. And the damn wallet!! Oh look at my cadh strapped to the outside!! Please hold a knife to my throat and rob me!
That's why I am still a subscriber to this channel. Genuine and honest not looking to deceive your viewers in order to make a buck. I have been considering Ag1 wondering if it really does taste enjoyable like the other channels testify too!!! Thank you.. I will be non subscribing to the channels that sell out their viewers. I knew something was up when a channel was boasting about all the vitamins and minerals in Ag1 and then a couple months later had a mental break down only to start taking separate additional supplements. The God's take care of dishonest people hence the future.. Goodman Sam!!!
Ha ha ha ha!!!"Food works perfectly fine." That was classic! #noAG! I've never considered Patreon before but now I must reconsider!! Thanks for being the renegade in a copycat world! Sam, you are the man!!! #NoOrcas!, North of Durham...........⛵⛵⛵
There are much bigger ones. AG or Squarespace might pay like 1-20 grand, depends how big the channel is. Established Titles routinely paid large content creators 100 grand. I mean I make 12 grand a year so it all sounds huge to me haha. I would sell my soul so fast. You can have it for 7 grand so I can buy a boat.
First time I hear someone turning off sonar equipment to avoid disturbing the orcas. I’ve been thinking that could be what they’re protesting against. There should be some sort comprehensive questionnaire including everything boaters were doing when they got attacked by orcas: sailing, motoring, equipment on, fishing… i don’t know, maybe find a common denominator. Could be why they never bugged you!
Nothing against AG1 supplement. But I appreciate you giving a real review. All other sailing channels talk about how good it taste so we now know that's BS
Also, your stance on electronics irritating the orcas, is the right way to deal with this. Weve seen the Navy stir them up in the PNW (Puget Sound/Salish Sea) for decades. Our behavior is key. Im pissed about the AUS Pilot Whale scene, and Im glade you are aware enough of our impact on the whales. More Pro Gold Stars for you
I've been following you from the beginning. I appreciate your Living life traveling the world in your boat. I hope you get out and enjoy all the stops in the Mediterranean. Be safe!
Cal's boat for $500 was a steal, even with the necessary repair work to be done. ...and as others have said, thanks for not selling out, especially to a product that you don't really like. Integrity lives.
Man Sam, you are awesome! Turning down the money because it doesn’t fit your beliefs. After this video is over I will head to Patreon and put you on my list.
Pretty cool seeing that Arleigh Burke class US Navy destroyer out there. Wonder which hull it is. Those things are pretty badass. I don't think I'd wanna go open ocean sailing without having an auxiliary rudder. I'd wanna have some gudgeons on the transom and a rudder assembly I could put together and hang off the stern if needed.
Sam, I always tune in for the "what could possibly go wrong" moments, I love the "perceived" haphazard way you sail around the place, in and out of danger, compared to some of the other "planned and risk averse" sailing channels . What I've come to realise, is that you're an extremely accomplished sailor, and this is well highlighted by your night sail, non use of sonar/depth instruments to lessen the chance of Orca chomping down on Pickles...and the ease of your sail measuring and description of where you'll ask for custom reefs, and why. It makes perfect sense, for those that "know their boat" and its limitations. These gems are why I keep coming back... fair winds my virtual friend and enjoy the Med.
Yeah Free Willy 🐋🐳 was a Disney? Sonic boom could be jets Breaking the sound barrier Training or whatever We had one in DC area a plane in no fly zone around capital Mom and daughter (+ one to two others) Presumed depressurized Crashed in low density Appalachia / Blue Ridge mountains or so the other month
They’re asking everyone going through the Orca’s to contact them and they’re trying to document who it’s happening to & why. I think it’s called the Cruisers Association. They said the ones with black gel coat were hit more.. going into reverse doesn’t help, can endanger them & can possibly get you in trouble. However, what has worked was throwing a bucket full of Sand between the Orca & the rudder. It does something to their “Sonar” and they can’t see it is the idea. They advised turning off your sonar equipment too. I’m glad you made it, although I know you wanted to see them….
But frankly, Im not sure that WE care if you do or dont. certainly, we want you to keep publishing, and god damn it, get better cameras.okok, ill say this,if they wouldve given you enough to upgrade your editor and cameras to 1440p or 2k, I wouldve said- go for it. especially if they dont constrain you in other videos from saying what you just did, that whole foods are the path to nutrition.
I have heard that Dolphins prefer to hang around hulls with white anti fouling bottom paint, maybe because most fish and a lot of big fish and whales have white undersides!!! It would be good to survey boats attacked to see what colour anti fouling colour they had as well as other parameters of attacked boats as suggested below! SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland(where the Orcas are friendly!)
Sam, The sonar ping. I wouldn’t be surprised if you might be on to something here. I expect these whales are equally intelligent as other members of their species. Is this a true predator/prey situation or an aggressive play behavior? From what I understand, the whales seem to eventually become bored and leave the scene of the crime. This leads me to believe that it may be an aggressive play scenario. A learned behavior amongst a population perhaps ? This localized killer whale population involved in the behavior does not seem to gain a food reward, leaving the game factor as the potential reward. Biting the moving target rudder may simply be fun. “Hey guys watch what I can do” A marine mammal version of “hold my beer.”
2:40 was such a neat shot, panning. cozy warm cabin interior light, sailing swiftly in the twilight skippy sea-state with the crackle of the foreign language female voice over the radio. Nice Aesthetics.
are the sailors traveling inside the orca's mating area? Seems odd that they are attacking that close to shore but not at sea. Maybe its time for the boats to stay off shore more. Its a great vid.
This is like your 3rd video in a row that I've been afraid for Mama Holmes to watch! I suppose the Orcas can sense that you're NOT afraid of them so they leave you alone.
12:39 No doubt AG offered you a lot of money for a sponsorship! And when you laugh and look at the horizon it's clear; you are a free man in every sense of the word.
How refreshing to hear your comments about Athletics Green. I had a brief exchange on RUclips with Brian Trautman (Delos) pointing out that the diet they have lived on whilst sailing all over the world lacks nothing and doesn’t need supplementing but he wasn’t having it. In my opinion when he does his heavily scripted piece about AG he looks and sounds a bit sheepish. It’s a shame because otherwise he seems such a sound bloke.
Yeah... they're all trying to make a living. Initially Delos wasn't selling out to anyone, but if the money is there and you have a family and expenses are mounting... where do your thoughts go? I expressed concerns with those fake Japanese knives that they and others promoted. I also called out the "Scottish Titles" BS that other channels have promoted. (not sailing channels). Does everyone have the luxury of not accepting money "on principle"? Nope. Are you a regular patron of any channel? Do you watch every second of each video? Do you give the vids a "like"? No one is "rich". Some few are making a living... to bring you a bit of entertainment. Brian Trautman included.
Honestly if someone is in a financial tough spot it's fine. You don't have to buy the product, can skip the ad etc.. only people with money have the luxury to refuse it. Most do not. I have worked manual labour and crap jobs, tips taken away etc... if someone tells me speak nicely about, let's use the worst example, Established Titles and you get 20 grand which is more than I make in a year, then yes, I'm sorry. I would. A well established channel that is doing well financially with views alone and regular sponsorships and patreon doing sketchy sponsorships on top of that just for money that's not needed at all then yes I think we can judge more harshly. I would take the money as long as I am broke af. I think you should show some compassion for those who are in the position of: beggars can't be choosers. You take what you get.
@@221b-l3t Well Neither Delos or Sam are broke and do not need to peddle any powders on YT And it's not that much of a profit anyways , they wanna send you free product and pay you a couple hundred bucks if you do a segment on your upload. I have 2 channels and don't see YT ads anyways. I just frown at these products, Established Titles is a bit different, its a Novelty Gift type item , Ozlo the dog from Atticus just got his recently. It's a bit different than trying to get ppl to ingest green miracle powder keep the comments coming though , it boosts Sam algorithms and he'll make more revenue. Because Sam is awesome and everyone loves him !
Get a hot wire on standby off the battery or inverter drop it in when it gets close little hard on the zinc but they won't mess with you they'll turn tale
You mentioned sail drives, plural. I have not heard of any of the whales "interacting" with catamarans. I am curious if they are attacking boats with some unknown commonality or signature. I have only heard of Monohulls getting hit.
"I want to see them." Sam's famous What, me worry? attitude. Man, those orcas are workin' overtime. They're completely obsessed. You'd think they'd all have serious dental issues by now.
Sam, I learn so much from your sailing channel. I really appreciate your explanations of what your doing when you are at sea really helps. I hope to buy a boat within the next year, maybe I could hire you to be my instructor in the winter months if come back to the USA. Be safe I don't want to see your boat damaged.
Thank you so much for NOT hawking some disgusting green drink mix. Sailing RUclipsrs who do that completely lose cred in my book. Methinks you maintained your pure karma which kept the orcas away!
I tried AG1 for a month or two, didn't see one bit of difference and they charged too much for it and had to pay shipping each time I got it. Still have one bag of it in the freezer, don't know if I will use it up or not. Never cared for the taste of it myself either.
Thanks for being honest about that supplement stuff. Yuk! I don’t know why sailors wouldn’t rep a sailing/voyaging related product. Glad the Orcas left you alone buy yeah, would have been cool to see them. I was on passage from Panama to Puerto Vallarta Mexico and had a couple of Orcas follow along side for a while. Very cool. Sorry for the broken rudders. Who ever sold that sailboat for $500 must not have needed money. Fair Winds. PS. The caves and lighting in the caves in Gibraltar are absolutely amazing. Gibraltar was quite a surprise to me. A very interesting stop.
Thank you Sam for not selling out to AG!!! Your raw honesty is one of the reasons we love you and your channel so much. 🤜🤛
F*ck yeah, loved your integrity to not promote something you don't believe in Sam, awesome :D
totally agree. this is why I like to watch sam's videos, he is geniune.
We're all trapped in the hamster wheel paying taxes and complying while he's sailing the world. He's got a perspective on the whole thing that make's it obvious to him that this is just the 2023 snake oil scheme.
I honestly trust Sam's opinion. he seems like he has a strong moral compass.

Simply the best! Bravo Sam.
I'd be so happy for you if you got a AG sponsorship. You gotta just keep going back and forth until the KW's attack. It's utube gold.
Is there enough data on these Orca Encounters to know how to avoid them? For example, weather conditions, night vs day, sea state?? Maybe planning for fowl weather is what is needed for that passage?
Yes, some data. There's a Portuguese working group leading the study. Sand is apparently effective!
You coming Newcastle upon Tyne way at all? Fancy some company? I got funds, tools, skills, personality! Had enough of dreaming now time to wake up and jump in, best to try before you buy right? I still think I’ll buy and begin my journey of freedom! There’s a boat waiting for me out there I just need to be where it is! Your the man Sam! 🫶😎🤙
Throw a big colourful ball in which will add to the game for orcas
Hi Sam, what NM do your lights go.
Great episode. Cal selling that very well rigged $20k boat for $500.. everyone here watching: 😭
As a chef of many years it made me so happy to hear someone else state the obvious nothing is better than natural food you can take all your expensive supplements and replace them with reasonably costed food which is way more fun and miles better for you.

Thanks for not selling out, the long term integrity is worth more.

“The orcas bit off the rudder” has a bit of a “the dingo ate the baby vibe” just saying animals may be rising up!

That is an excellent suggestion!
Avoid bugs... lol yeah Sam
sam i want you to know i am supporting you on patreon as of tonight due to the honesty and just sheer humanity of it. you're one of a kind

Or a sense of perspective.

Excellent re AG, huge respect, judging by the look on Duracell Matts face, it doesn't look that tasty!!!
Love the content Sam ! I bought my first sailboat last month thanks to you and your videos !
Mama said, Orcas are ornery cause they got all dem teeth but no toothbrush.
😂😂🤣🤣💯👏🏻👍
I love how you're the ONE guy LOOKING for the orcas! LOL
LOVE your integrity, Sam!!! You need some links in your description for donations to your honesty fund!

That channel died like 4 years ago when the fun people left and grew up.
So glad you turned down that powdered algae crap. 😂🤣
I love Spain. I lived in Rota (a bit north of where this video was taken) for six years. It was awesome.
You’re sailing in my dream area! Live aboard my Tartan 34C; just had to buy a car for work or I’d never afford to get outta here. Named it Orca lol.
“I wanna see them” 😂 you sure doctored adventures. Great channel!
F**k Athletic Greens! Loved that bit
Get a hot wire on standby off the battery or inverter drop it in when it gets close little hard on the zinc but they won't mess with you they'll turn tale
You mentioned sail drives, plural. I have not heard of any of the whales "interacting" with catamarans. I am curious if they are attacking boats with some unknown commonality or signature.
I have only heard of Monohulls getting hit.
Hmm... Could also be that there's just so many more monohulls out there compared to twins and triples
They definitely got that catamaran good. Double rudders double fun lol
You are super brave amigo!
"I want to see them." Sam's famous What, me worry? attitude. Man, those orcas are workin' overtime. They're completely obsessed. You'd think they'd all have serious dental issues by now.
Sam, I learn so much from your sailing channel. I really appreciate your explanations of what your doing when you are at sea really helps. I hope to buy a boat within the next year, maybe I could hire you to be my instructor in the winter months if come back to the USA. Be safe I don't want to see your boat damaged.
Thank you so much for NOT hawking some disgusting green drink mix. Sailing RUclipsrs who do that completely lose cred in my book. Methinks you maintained your pure karma which kept the orcas away!
Thanks Sam for the great content, keep up the good work! 👍🏼👍🏼
Good one Samuel. Fully agree on food supplies what you need, and I’m so chuffed not to listen to it again. Take note Delos 😅
They are such sell outs! It's all about the money for assholes like that. I just don't know get it. Zero ethics!
Appreciate you not selling out for the money like some straight up jerks out there! They are obviously not good people. Terra Ceia here, saying hello.
Love this guy... so honest 🙂
learn them whales one Sam, what would the macho man Randy Savage do?
the cream is rising to the top ah yea
@@thomas6600 The tower of power to sweet to be sour!
I tried AG1 for a month or two, didn't see one bit of difference and they charged too much for it and had to pay shipping each time I got it. Still have one bag of it in the freezer, don't know if I will use it up or not. Never cared for the taste of it myself either.
Thanks for being honest about that supplement stuff. Yuk! I don’t know why sailors wouldn’t rep a sailing/voyaging related product. Glad the Orcas left you alone buy yeah, would have been cool to see them. I was on passage from Panama to Puerto Vallarta Mexico and had a couple of Orcas follow along side for a while. Very cool. Sorry for the broken rudders. Who ever sold that sailboat for $500 must not have needed money. Fair Winds. PS. The caves and lighting in the caves in Gibraltar are absolutely amazing. Gibraltar was quite a surprise to me. A very interesting stop.
