You should be nominated as number one sailing channel in RUclips.real raw non of the crap you see on most of this channel’s . Thank you for posting.
A lot of those seem like sales vids. Sales agenda
Why are you boot licking? He needs to incorporate sailing lessons into his videos before he gets my vote. I want to know the WHY of what he’s doing.
Put it down,
Get the camera away from your face....blessings
@@SignOfCalm your vote? This isn't a sailing tutorial
@@gbaker9295 he’s young and enamored with how he looks on camera. We all are to an extent. But his vanity/body dysmorphia will soon tire out his audience. That other commenter was correct: he needs to set down the camera or point it away from his face. I think his stately germanic nose is wonderful, but it doesn’t mean I want him rubbing it in my face 24/7.
4:39 “I am going to sail the Southern Ocean, see some real stuff ONE Day”, I am now watching forever 🎉🎉🎉
The scientist in me read the title as "A 200 nanometer trip", was glad to see you traveled a bit further than that. 🤣
"I'm ready to sail... somewhere else!" LMFAO
We had a hard rule on our 34 foot Sadler. . .under 4 knots and we fired up the Iron Genny. . .guarenteed (kind of) at least a 4 knot speed for dead reckoning. . .before GPS. . ., but it was a good rule. . .It made you keep enough fuel, keep you engine running well and dependable, and got you places before your food and water ran out. . . .Love the look of your boat under heavy sail!
The last couple videos have been great. Thanks for making them longer 😉
Thanks also for showing how to align the engine. I’ll be buying my first big sailboat in 2024. 🎉
Thanks. Right on
Now that we all agree that longer (vids) are better...we expect even more! Thanx dude.
Just another “Sunday afternoon sail” in the world of Sam Holmes 😂
That water reminds me of my home country of Bermuda. I moved away a long time ago and miss that crystal clear blue water. Great video Sam.
That's a beautiful island. I was there years ago installing cable.
GLAD YOU ARE RUNNING THAT MOTOR. GOT TO KEEP THE OIL LUBING EVERYTHING.
The color of that water at the end... I don't know how to describe how it makes me feel. I swoon? I wilt? I JUST WANT TO SWIM IN IT. Do we have any water around here (home) like that? The only time i feel like I've been in water that blue was in the med. Great video, by the way. Love, Mom
19:37 Thank you kindly for a quick thumbs up!!
You are so creative, I like it.
Thank you!!
Yeah in Greece you can find plenty of places with this color of water. So strange when we see the sea water in other countries, especially like in Britain 😂
Bermuda 👌🏻
I dip into your channel now and then and when I do, I download a few episodes for our power cut days. I love your style, I always learn one new thing per video, at least, and your sense of adventure reminds of the sailing books I used to read as a kid. Have you considered the golden globe race? Your comment about the southern ocean has me thinking you’d enjoy it!
Living the life of Riley....the while world paying the bill...doesn't get better than that Sammy!
Ellebogen makes nice reproductions of the Yanmar engine mounts. I put them on my 3gm. They ship from Spain I believe.
Haha bet your geographies improved now you’re a seasoned sailor! Great vids 😊
Famous last words : “I wish the lighting would bring me some wind”
I think you got it.
The lighting????
Good video Sam, lots of interesting shots, unlike your competition, your videos are never boring. With regard to being becalmed without an engine, (I’m sure you’ll fix the alignment bug) you might want to scare up a pair of long sweeps and rig them so you can row from the cockpit. The old catboats in NE always had sweeps aboard
These are great videos and love your channel…when was this filmed as isn’t it kind of cold off the Greek coast now..
Gorgeous anchorage
Hey man, looks beautiful there. Your engine is shaking quite a bit for that model. I hope the new mounts and an alignment settle it out for you when you get to that project. In the meantime, you might want to inspect your hoses and wires running to it and put some padding (I use old hose) around anything that might rub through. Maybe you already did that. Fair winds!
I second this tip for hoses 💪
Good stuff Sam!! 🎉 keep up the good work!
greta o see how much you were enjoying the sailing when there was decent wind. I am really enjoying these slightly longer videos too. Keep em coming:)
Pickled herring for the southern ocean that’s got my vote 👍go Sam Holmes’s 😃
Thanks for the video Sam!
OK, now I know that eventually, you will video yourself going round Cape Horn, Real Stuff! I can't wait to see it :)
That part where you were talking about how the waves and conditions will often look so small and pathetic on video but in person it seems like the hundred year storm😬. This is 100% true! Those ARE some serious conditions but waves on camera always look much much smaller than they really are. I surf and watch big wave surfing videos sometimes, the he surfers GoPro cameras make 30-40 ft waves look like they're only 10ft😆🙄
You're an inspiration! Thanks, and congratulations on living a good life. 🙂
Thanks!
I am planning my Greece trip as I speak- your videos tipped me over the edge. These countries should give you a commission for travel sales
Very cool!
You are so creative. I like your repairs.
Oh man, I saw the boat leaning super far over and I started getting anxiety haha. I'm really impressed how you can stay calm and handle it. I suppose it takes sailing to be able to relate too and understand whats on camera.
The weight under the keel keeps it upright 👍
The more the boat is leaning, the harder it is for the wind to make it lean any more. As the boat leans, the effective area of the sail gets smaller.
@@hermitoldguy6312It's not leaning, it's heeling.
@@vgrof2315 It depends if you're trying to communicate, or impress. Jargon serves to prevent, rather than aid communication.
@@hermitoldguy6312Nothing wrong with communicating "heeling, leaning left or right due to the wind while sailing".
Naxos is a nice Greek island to visit I went there on a windsurfing holiday
Sam, if I were you, After Greece I'd turn and head back across the Atlantic, or stay there longer. 😊
That water looks to be a beautiful dark blue. Just beautiful in Greece.
"Cheap chinese ones"..LMAO!! Good on ya Sam🤙
Hey great video quality Sam
Hey you sorta sailed by me this time. In the future remember the Mani, which you were at the bottom of on the East side of the Messinian Bay, has the mildest winter climate in continental Europe.
On your engine after you replace the faulty engine mounts if it still seems a little rough remove your injectors and check that they both have the same pop open pressure and that the spray pattern is cone shaped next time you get on the hard or in the off season diesels misfire like gas engines do but not in the exact same way and unless your crankshaft somehow became unbalanced or a bad harmonic balancer pulley which I highly doubt then any engine vibration that is excessive is probably due to an imbalance in one of your two cylinders firing either because of a injector timing issue or a faulty spray pattern from a dirty injector nozzle ect... think of it like a bad spark plug in a gas engine causing a cylinder to misfire and how that causes a rough running engine shaking engine. That is one benefit to the Yanmar 1GM10 or any other single cylinder diesels for that matter is that if only has one injector you never have to worry about a possible injector balance problem but those one cylinder engines shake and are very noisy even when everything is working right mainly because you cannot balance a one cylinder engine and the more cylinders you have in any engine the smoother it will run due to less degrees between power impulses on the crankshaft and assuming everything is operating properly which means all cylinders have to be creating equal amounts of energy at the right time or else you wind up with a rough shaky basically similar to a misfiring rough running annoying engine. Hopefully the shaking that I am seeing in your engine is only due to those shot engine mounts though so wait until you replace those and reset your shaft alignment before you think about what I am saying here. Also check that you don't have an injector fuel line loose and allowing a small fuel air leak that is like having a intermittently bad spark plug wire on a gas engine similar to the way while you bleed the injectors while the engine is running on larger diesels when you crack open the injector lines to let the air out you can feel the loss of power from that cylinder which is normal and on gas engines you can pull off a spark plug wire on older cars that had them and look for a RPM drop and that RPM drop should be the same for all the cylinders in the engine this is called a cylinder power balance check and it a fast way to find out which cylinder is under performing or completely inoperative OFC when your engine only has two cylinders you will notice right away if you completely lose one of them 100%. But on a V-8 you wont notice it sometimes at all but you could still have one cylinder that is not producing full power in your two cylinder engine also which will cause a vibration since diesel engines power production is based off of how much fuel gets injected at the right time that is where you have to look. Also you can do a compression test before you dive deeply into the fuel system because one cylinder being low on compression can cause similar issues also and this test is simple and doesn't require too much disassembly Id probably do this test first. You can do a basic compression test by cranking the engine over by hand and going by the feel of each cylinder and also when you are cranking the engine over even with the starter motor the speed the engine is turning should stay relatively even if it sounds like it is speeding up then slowing down that might mean low compression on one of your cylinders this is a non intrusive none scientific method but it is quick and dirty and if you really pay attention to how your engine sounds over time you can hear when something is changing or about to go wrong a lot of times.
All I know about Corfu is that the (in)famous Durrell family grew up there.
Woo hooo!
Hey Sam, love your videos. Wondering what the cylindrical looking tape drum is, at the rear of the boat?
Mooring line
total stunning edition~see ya.
Sam if you do the southern tips, pick me. That sounds like picking waves, sails and seasons. lol
Would you do a short segment on the distance you have done? Im sure you are past half way around the wold.
"I wanna sail the southern ocean and see some real stuff one day." Sam Holmes 2024
Hey Sam. I am currently visiting family in Italy.
Wish u all the best and merry Christmas early man.
I hope to meet up with u and some others next year.
Just mix up some JB weld an apply a little dab to those key chain split rings they probably just spot weld then normally but a little steel reinforced epoxy will keep them from coming off
Hey Sam. Love your videos. Just wondering- what app are you using to show where the wind is coming from?there is a shot of a phone hanging in your cabin with an app showing that the wind is on your beam.
Hippie Sam Holmes❤
Wicked Sam, thanks.
You are a mariner. Good sailor.
You commented on looking at the video and thinking the conditions are not that bad. Anytime you are solo sailing. It is a courageous and difficult task. If you are a solo sailing anything over 15 kn it’s a feat of strength and skill
Maybe pick up a couple wing nuts to make it even faster/easier to put the plexi in the dodger
Great idea
Sam sounded like a Nascar Driver in the beginning of the video 🤣🤣
Thanks for the advice on the shackles. What is your contingency plan should the bellows of the pss dripless water shaft seal rupture?
Grande Sam
⛵️⚓️⛵️!!!!
Some crazy weather in the Mediterranean. I'm a north pacific person. Never a shortage of wind, but storms are somewhat predictable.
I was becalmed for three days NW of Hawaii near the dateline. Several other times too.
@secretsquirrel6308 I guess the north pacific is pretty big. I'm talking more gulf of Alaska than Hawaii.
Someone I know recently combined Maple Syrup & buttered Popcorn thinking it would taste like caramel popcorn. It didn’t and they don’t recommend anyone else do it either.
Hi Sam, what is the roll on the rear port side? Rope? For what purpose?
Sam, please get a professional boat mechanic to install very good engine mounts. Penny wise (lee cloth) and pound foolish (engine mounts)?
As he waited for the shower to warm, he noticed that he could hear water change temperature.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.
Good one Sam. Making forward progress for a date with your GF.
No wind doldrums inspires Sam to make repairs to his boat out of sheer boredom.
I'd still replace those suspect motor mounts when you get the chance to do so Sam.
Cheap Chinese made snap shackles, nah I'll just repair the old one. We're good.
Can some patron please send Sam a care package with a new U.S. flag enclosed.
We're rough ride these safe out there
Great area to sail!
Becalmed for days, and then 20 knot winds LOL.
You want to sail the Southern Ocean someday? Pickle has done you well, but no to that ocean. Agreed?
I guess it makes sense why it took 10 years for Odysseys to make the same trip you are doing.
To be fair video diminishes wave heights. 😊
Same with off-roading. I can tell the waves just from the bouncing
Awesome video. I tried to upgrade my Patreon membership and it didn't give me any new levels.
You need to rock a mullet.That would be sick
It didn't take long for Gary to detect the robbers were amateurs.
Do you ever envision yourself living in a harbor or house or will you keep sailing?
When are you heading to fiji Islands
What is the Sam Holmes approved sunscreen? After months of sailing, you still were not burnt
Sun cream is toxic dude. It's funny how the goberment have people terrified of the sun. No sun No life.
Had to resubscribe. Edge edged out Chrome. Messed me UP.
That was a busy leg of the journey…
908th LIKE, 5730th view about to set sail...
Hey Sam, I'm curious, why don't you troll more for delicious pelagic fish?
I usually just buy fish when I’m sailing on shorter passages. It’s pretty messy and difficult trying to clean and prepare the fish underway.
Fishing on a moving boat under sail is a pain in the butt.
What is the name of that wind speed and direction sensor for the phone?
The really unhappy person is the one who leaves undone what they can do, and starts doing what they don't understand; no wonder they come to grief.
Noob question if anyone can help me:
Why would you close the windward hatch, and leave the leeward one open? I would be worried about water coming in on that side.
The waves come from the windward side
@@samholmessailing Answered by the man himself! Thanks!
no fishing?
Mary realized if her calculator had a history, it would be more embarrassing than her computer browser history.

I used to practice weaving with spaghetti three hours a day but stopped because I didn't want to die alone.
From the looks of Sam, I can't help but think he might break into a sermon at any moment. Perhaps I'm wrong.
Sam, are sailing a Cape Dory 27?
I saw your video of you buying the CD28.

His ultimate dream fantasy consisted of being content and sleeping eight hours in a row.
you gonna cut that thing into a kentucky waterfall or what?
Not.
I was fishing for compliments and accidentally caught a trout.
Oh shoot, I forgot about the engine issue. . .Ugh. . .I know Slokum (and many others) didn’t have engines but. . .If they were available (and fuel) and were dependable, I don’t think they would have forsaken modern tech.
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
Twin 4-month-olds slept in the shade of the palm tree while the mother tanned in the sun.
Nicer.
Figure out your naturalization of the sound... Mr. Holmes.
Thanks!
