"She's got potential here"- Yes, she does Sam, and you better not let her get away either.
"You did it- you're my hero". Sam- Saving the salmon, cheese and most importantly the beer matters.
It wouldn't be an official Sam Holmes Sailing video without- Sam drilling another hole in his boat.
ew
I am so relieved, I have been feening for Sam to drill a hole in his boat!
😂
Nice to see your partner back Sam. 😊
The beautiful Aryan Queen. Sam you’re a lucky man!!
She's her own lady , well done she expand s to you tube🎉
What if Sam became a different person w his new arrival? Totally abrasive and critical 😅
I’m sure he is getting his needs taken care of.
You two make a great couple, and it’s great to see you so happy!
Everything seems a bit brighter with Annaline along. You should write a song, Sam!
I adore her. I could not spend time with her like this without falling madly in love.
Definitely sailing in company is always best - good luck both enjoy your time together.
Coolest hair style on RUclips boating by far !!
Cheetos and coffee for breakfast! You guys are living the life! Youth!
It’s never easy mate! But once it’s in…😎
Words of wisdom 🙌
Welcome back, Ann-Elin! Good to see you!
Merry Christmas Sam, have a couple of drinks on me for sharing your amazing life with us. Cheers
Thanks. Merry Christmas. Cheers
I was nearly welling up when you dropped Annaline back!..She's a keeper for sure you hero!
Thanks Sam.
14:46 - swimmin' Sam - being the hero, like Tarzan:
"Don't worry, Jane - I'll get the goods."
The boat is definitely brighter when Ann-Elín is on board …😁👍🇨🇦
Awesome as always. And I'm going to now join, and relate to, many previous commenters who've mentioned viewing one of your vids was the best part of their day. For a few moments i forgot everything else and smiled ear to ear. Thank you for that. I can't wait to see you guys. Counting the days.
Cool spotting those Starlink deployments.
Yay! Sailing is best with your partner along ❤⛵️
She’s a keeper Sam! The videos with you two together are so much fun!
Great sail sir
You two are adorable. :)
The folding in those rocks is awesome!! Indicates compression geologically. So cool.
Thanks for going over the mundane stuff for us with little or no sailing experience Sam. The life you are living is absolutely amazing, you definitely have things figured out.
I'm not sure how it gets any better than this video.
NE Corfu is simply stunning.
Super video Sam. Thanks
It keeps getting better!
Nice to see you two sailing together
I didn't know I wanted to visit Albania till i saw this. Thanks sam
Beautiful.....simply Beautiful.....and the sailing part was enjoyable as well
Dude. So cool. I think it's awesome you go everywhere on a sailboat. Experiencing things we only think about. Kudos!
So much more fun to go exploring with a friend! This was a really fun video. Hope your holiday season is Merry and your Christmas stocking is flexible and contains a frying pan or two. Take care!🌲👍🤗🙏🏻🌟
Nice to add improvements along your way enjoy the sails!
Love how excited you were about the hydrofoil, that was your DisneyLand 🙌
The stretch provided by nylon sure makes it good for anchor rode. Dock lines too. Once bought a used boat in NZ that had a polypropylene anchor rode (and chain). The cool thing about the poly is that it floats. So when there was no wind, and the line went slack, it would float, keeping it off the bottom, which kept it from getting fouled on rocks.
yea, went albania back in 2019 - lovely place!!! overlooked so much
I like the team work and equality and ladies strong voice and confidence in a nice way. He is very polite.
❤❤ is in the air❤❤. You two belong together, that’s for sure.
That's pretty excited
Ing
Albania is gorgeous!! a little bit more south is Ksamil but if you keep going north you got Vlora Durres, Divjake some awesome anchorages !!
Yea, she's back.
Hey sam Nice place there and your lady friend has the most beautiful smiles. Merry Christmas to all of You God bless You.
She is so adorable ❤
You inspire me dude. I just want to take my boat and hit the high seas.
Keep at it, Sam! Albania! Who woild have thought!?
Albania is Beautiful. A visit to the old Fort at the Top off the Island is worth it.
*The man with the Perma-smile.* 😁
Sam.... take the hole saw off the bit... then pop the wood that gets stuck right out... easy peasy... great video,.. the food in those restaurants looks awesome.....stay out of the way of the hydrofoil ferries(lol),.... great to see you sailing with the wonderful crew. Merry Christmas and Happy New from Hebron and Mystic Connecticut.... Preston
Love this
Amazing awesome
Man, this looks like such a chill lifestyle...
I was just thinking I hope Sam post the video and look!!
Nice to see Ann-Elin again but too briefly! 😢
Good stuff
76th subscriber LIKE, 723rd tag-along view... let's go sailing with Sam...
10:13 "...sunrise is comin' up..." Well, I'm certainly glad sunrise isn't going down!"
Hee Hee Hee.
Have been following u since Hawaii (your boat was moored 2 down from mine at the Ala Wai). Particularly love the tour of Europe . .. . Yikes, over the top adventure!
Merry Christmas Sam and Arlene, all the best regards from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏 Batavia Coast 🙏🖖🤟🇦🇺🐨👽
Awesome
Back to drilling holes into your boat. I missed it.
Your friend is adorable, hands on. What’s not to like.
That coastline is absolutely beautiful.
He's been doing it all along, just not videoing it.
Always good to have extra anchors lol sorry Ryobi joke, good job Captain ✌️
I've seen some of this before. Its interesting for me as I went on a mates holiday to Corfu in 1988 where did did windsurfing lessons. We were told not to go beyond a buoy because we would be shot by the Albanian fortifications (15:37)! Its great things have opened up and you can freely travel to Albania now.
Thanks!
.49 seconds in. Best innuendo I've heard in a while.
enjoyed this video while wearing my brand new SAM HOLMES SAILING tee shirt👕
Sam you never stop wish I could do that.
She is smoking Sam!!!!
From an old "Cheers" episode (to the tune of "When The Saints Go Marching In"):
Albania, Albania,
You border on the Adriatic
Your terrain is very mountainous
And your chief export is chrome.
20:26 - "More cowbell... I gotta have more cowbell!"
Return to you guys a merry Christmas thank god for a/c a heartfelt cheers n beers Marty and Suzy Australia
One of the first times I've watched your video and been there before you, ha. I took the ferry from Sarande to Corfu about a year ago. Those bunkers are very much Albanian, there are 750,000 of them in the country. When you sail down to the Canary Islands you're going to see so many banana plantations, all weirdly fortified with twenty foot brick walls.
sam...the baddest boy
Happy Christmas sam
Great video.if you put a piece of cardboard on your hole saw while making the pilot hole you wont break bits.after pilot hole is made simply remove cardboard .grind hard had the same problem 😊
Glad to see your first mate back on board. Those rocks look like they've been carved. Nice variety of activities on board & shore. Good video Sam. BTW these adds you have to watch now before you see the video I'm not liking. Some you can skip but most you can't. Just saying.
I think I travelled on a Flying Dolphin back in the 1980s, from Piraeus to Spetses. It was more expensive back then than a regular ferry, and allegedly supplied to the Greeks by the Soviets. But this may not be true. All I know is, hydrofoil boats are not as common as they should be. And, by the way, that lady is a gem and v special. Look after her, as my mother once said to me of my lovely wife.
Nice
Yea I was thinking the quick change of plans in Turkey had to do with lady Elin. Be nice to her!
Greece has some sick local ferries. I've recently been to the south-eastern aegean and Dodekanisos Seaways is operating some 30kt non-fioling cat-ferries there. Booked a trip from Rohdes to Kalymnos - a very pleasant and scenic journey. Kinda regretted to not have gotten off at the 1st stop Chalki which looked like an awesome little harbor town.
Enjoy watching your videos, I have just recently found your channel,😊 I have kind of jumped around on your videos and know that you have a few different boats throughout your sailing experience. Is this boat the Cape Dory 28? I am looking at one ⛵️😎
Sam. The village's name with cows where you stayed overnight is Qeparo. Vey nice and calm.
Not all heroes wear capes
those slots down the sides if the hole saw are for a screwdriver to poke plugs out. :)
Oh what pleasant companeee! (Beatles)
Would have been nice to see a bit more of Corfu
I have to say. I just bought my first sailboat and there's no doubt it's because I've been watching your vids for two years now. Thank you! But one thing that cracked me up on this video is how you cracked up being called captain. And I've noticed other sailors laughing when called captain on the radio. And then my buddy who's a fire boat captain hates to be called skipper. In my humble opinion, any person in control of a vessel is the captain. Do you agree Captain Holmes? ;)
Heroic food rescue
if the boat is a rockin, dont come a knockin!!
2:00 it's old sovet union vessel "Метеор" (Meteor), many of them were sold when the soviet union broke up
Lovely to see your lady
Fiberglass and cheese is a delicacy 🍽️
A Tomking TK140FC is a 36 CC 18 LB four cycle outboard motor. On shore, you can carry it around like an umbrella. It comes in 16 and 20 length transum reach. With modification, it can troll slowly, and should consume 5 oz of gas per hour. $200 USA price. The gasoline pours back in your bottle in a snap.
Annaline does sterling work but please lead your mainsail hoist down to an ergonomic level via a block or winch.
Maybe you have to unscrew or twist the paddles of the ez dingy before pulling out? Usually it works like this...
I'm having déjà vu watching this 14:32🤔 Ah... yes... I saw it before on the Ann-Elin Synes channel 😊
Love your work Sam, you make it look easy
Long ago some old friends told me about while having to take shelter in a storm along Albania coast in the 1960" they where machine gunned at, with damage to the boat, and thrown in jail for having cameras on board, only spies take pictures right?(true that cameras where not privately owned in dirt poor isolated communist Albania of the time). Got released later with apologies from higher up,...still.
PS: No mater how good a video it is always better with a pretty face around.Thank you for sharing with us .
Great adventure. Thank you for sharing as always. I’m interested in learning to sail after watching years of your videos, but don’t know where to start. Any good books to read or recommended start points? I have watched your how to sail video / sailing theory, and they are great, but where do I go from there? Buy a boat and send it?
Hole drilling doesn’t look familiar so assume you and Annaline are sharing some content of the same trip! Great vids!
As we say on Cape Cod she's a keeper Sam be smart.
:37 much like packing up an inflatable Paddleboard, kinda a pain
Hey mate I keep watching your videos and I know you have tons of experience solo sailing and whatnot, do you have any book out to teach people with zero knowledge on what to have in your boat, tools, food, equipment, etc etc to go sailing long term? Also how to get visas, how to talk on the radio and when do u need it, how to get a docking, etc etc.. you should write a book about all sailing basics
Cooking bananas !
Pulling out that trim for the viewers. Nice. 😎
There was most definitely treasure in that cave.
