@@lonniepee9804 Have you ever watched "Wind Hippie Sailing"? She's younger than Sam and is sailing the world by herself on a little bit smaller boat with the barest of bones outfit and creature comforts . She's from Maine and has already sailed to Australia and all around the Pacific the Polynesian Islands etc without a lot of fancy electronics or even a refrigerator.

Sam; Massive mer'rang waves i call it when it is that choppy! The pickle was doing what she does best. Skipping waves. Your cabin is bound to take in water with those... Man i loved the parasailing. I did it once from a boat in Ixtapa. Not quite the same. I cheated. But now i can understand the thermals. That google app is cool. Like a bird, a birdseye view of Greece. Thanks for letting us cling to your feathers...and fly-sail along... God's speed!
Maybe wait for other pilots on launch, locals might have a better plan for conditions and insight about good places to find lift. Been paragliding two years here jn the mountains of Colorado. I lovvveee it. Nice track log. Looks like that thermal petered out or you maybe got upwind of it. Dont be afraid to widen your search pattern when the lift dies out. Could have been capped by an inversion layer. Seems you may have left a little early. Been watching your videos since you were on a dingy sailing the mangroves of Florida and doing insane crossings to the Bahamas on such a small boat! Hope to buy a boat again someday, maybe see you out there.
I've been continually impressed with your simple unpainted pressure treated washrails attached to your stantions. They have done some great service and still look great. Very innovative and no varnish. Love em.
Hey Sam, it's great to see you in Lefkada. At the end of the beach where you landed on the paraglider, under the huge rock is an incredible cave that is swimiable! Take a look next time!
Another fabulous video. Sharing your adventures with us all is a profound gift. I’ve seen so many places you’ve been to that I know I would never otherwise have been aware of. Your positive approach to life and sailing in particular is so beneficial for me. Cheers Sam!
I totally agree about battery powered, deck level navigation lights. They eliminate problems due to dodgy connections and there is no drain on the ship's battery. I have been very impressed with Navisafe.
Great views Sam, enjoy seeing the seas and beautiful views. You are very blessed, my friend. Thanks so much for sharing. It makes me think LG! Life is Good!
What an adventure. Thanks for sharing. Finally saw you clip on a safety line! Scary waves, fantastic shots too difficult for other RUclips sailors to capture .
Sam did you hear that same pod of Killer Whales that has sank 5 boats since 2020, damaged the rudder on a 50 foot sailboat and it sank today in the Strait Of Gibraltar. 😱🙏🏼✌️
2:25 The Earth is Round, it's Round!!! Loved the 360 view of the Globe Earth and Sky to the left, right, above and below, horizon to horizon, great video. ;-)
Sam, You are the man !!!! I've enjoyed many of your videos. I just had my sailboat sink at the dock here in Hudson , Fl. I will look for another boat. This time I would like to go with a smaller boat (18-25 ft. or so ) . If you know of any for sale along the gulf coast let me know. I can't afford much as I didn't have insurance on the last one. I look fwd. to meeting you someday. Thanks, Jerry Gotts
Hello Sam, good to see you back on Pickled Herring. That was a pretty choppy trip across to Monopoli. Reminded me of not enjoying the motion when sailing into headwinds against a strong tide. Sailing in the English Channel, that occurred regularly. But the adventurr of 15:50 of finally reaching a safe harbour, I will never forget. Keep sailing, Sam, safe journey!!
Hi Sam! I absolutely love your videos, you inspire me and calm me down. A humble advice from another long time but low overall air time paraglider pilot who has done enough of 7+ hour flights: don't stay longer in thermals. Not a second longer than you are comfortable in there. Never regret returning to the ground safely. Thermals will slowly but surely beat you up, exhaust you both physically and mentally. But reeeally slowly, basically a boiling frog scenario. Big potential to get get yourself into a really compromised state - tired, mentally fatigued and generally unable to react fast.
well done man, I'm not a sailor but the upwind tacking looks challenging. Beautiful seas and scenes. The insta 360 sailing on the marble shots look cool.
Thanks. Great video. Two comments - to drain water from your portlights, just tack 😂 AND for your cabin top directionals find a clear plastic dome that fits completely over them and can be sealed down to the cabin top - no more moisture.
This man, what a sailor ! Never complains, never dependant on the weather forecast, always positive. Small boat, big sailor.
Yes. He and Erik are the best.
Sam rocks it and makes it look easy.

These videos are a relaxing oasis of calm in a noisy, silly world. Thanks Sam.
Glad you like them!
Brilliant video Sam! Thank you for inspiring us to live freely and put more miles under the keel. God bless and fair winds! 👍
Been watching almost from the beginning of this channel. Great to see a really good guy doing so well!
Your video has inspired my husband to try that form of flying. He's a pilot turned sailor but hasn't lost his love of flying. Thanks!
I love how you’re using the insta360 cameras. That first shot was so great, making it look like it was just the sailboat on the top of the work.
I love the thrill of huge waves and stormy seas - from my couch!🫣
i work 7 days a week, over 70hrs...coming up on a year now. I watch your vids and taste the freedom you have. Keep it going Sam!

Great video Sam! The paragliding is getting better all the time. Love your videos!
Thanks a ton!
Brings back memories and rekindles a desire to sail again!
Your wonderful adventurous life is so fun to follow. Thanks for the great vids!
Glad you enjoy it!
At 11:03 clever editing, Sam! "Look, I used my PDF and clipped in!" Smash cut to Sam in zero safety gear. LOL
Hey Sam, it's great to see you in Lefkada. At the end of the beach where you landed on the paraglider, under the huge rock is an incredible cave that is swimiable! Take a look next time!
Cool, thanks
Yes Ionian islands and Peloponesse cliffs full of caves and lots of cold fresh water running into the sea.
Had to buy one of the "I like the ocean" T-shirts. Great video as always!
Awesome! Thank you! Let me know how it is. You’ll be getting one before me because I haven’t got an address to get a sample yet.
Going through a rough patch after ending with a girl - your videos just remind me of the simple things in life and calm me. Living the dream Sam!

The panning insta360 shots are really cool! Makes it feel super immersive!
Love it Sam!

Sam did you hear that same pod of Killer Whales that has sank 5 boats since 2020, damaged the rudder on a 50 foot sailboat and it sank today in the Strait Of Gibraltar. 😱🙏🏼✌️
I'm glad you didn't quit me the boat and the growth
Awesome video, thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

Yep! It seems it was designed with the round earth enthusiasts in mind. lol
Probably one of the better sailing sites , because the viewer sees a lot of raw sailing, excellent 👌👍 Hi from Westernport , Victoria, Australia

Amazing passage along with Para sailing, way to go Sam.
Most understated dude out there 👍
Sam, you don't know how much I love your videos!
Only two weeks and my season will start in tha Adriatic Sea...but than you are fare away allready.

I just got to annecy. So stoked to fly here

great stuff Sam)
Fantastic video. That's a beautiful moussaka at 20:26
You are my eye of the storm ❤
Your boat is living its best life
Thanks. Great video. Two comments - to drain water from your portlights, just tack 😂 AND for your cabin top directionals find a clear plastic dome that fits completely over them and can be sealed down to the cabin top - no more moisture.
Another adventure, i find it quite exhausting just watching you climb the hill !
Pickle is quite the sturdy craft, she has taken some ponding!
That's Sam. He likes the ocean.
Great video sam
Man 2 summers in the Med.... awesome, this time you can explore more. I was kind of surprised you did Greece in so few days last summer. 👍
Thanks for sharing this window on your sailing life Sam, just wish you could share that sandwich too!
that flight tracker for the paraglide was so cool! never knew that's how you navigated thermals, makes sense tho!
Greece is a magical place
Awesome. Thanks Sam!
You bet!
This was a fun episode. Greece is a ggod fun place to be.
