As I think about my own faith as it relates to Sam, I can’t help but think of “that you might have life, and life abundantly”. I don’t know if Sam thank God for the life he has been given or not. But, when I think that the righteous should live by faith (Hebrews 11) I can’t help but wonder if Sam is an example we all should follow. My prayer today: “God, where are you leading me today.”

Diabetes should not be more difficult to control on a boat, compared to normal daily life! I take meds to control my blood sugar which is what causes diabetes. I avoid bread, rather eating wraps and drinking Sparkling mineral water - no sugar added.

i found this 3d printable catch handle thing for the mini 3.. its basically a handle that looks like a T with 2 arms sticking out and hinges on the top for a screw.. i think it fits on 4 aswell.. and i bet you could transform it in cura to fit 2 aswell.. it would however put a stick under your drone so if you attempted to land on an island it would tip over and possibly dammage your props.. still cheaper than fumbelling a catch and losing your badboy to davey jones though.. its a 1 time print with hinges and although the creater says you need screws, a ziptie works just as good.. and quicker to release

Excellent capturing of the sailing conditions, untouched shoreline, beaches and natural beauty of the coast (as per usual). I bet you'll miss that in Malta, But practically treeless Malta seems like the place to go for creature comforts a city can provide for sure. Others' videos of Malta make it seem very claustrophobic. I'll look forward to your reactions to it.

Wow I remember that wreck when I was there, it was almost a complete ship. The way the rust has eaten away the steel is amazing, I tried to work out when I was last there, turns out it was almost twenty years ago. How time flies I really did not think it was that long ago. I loved sailing the Greek islands it was such a wonderful place. Sadly now with the new rules it's not so easy to spend enough time in the Med to see it all, I think it's 90 days in any 180 day period. If you want to leave your boat there, after two years you are required to register it in one of the Schengen countries and pay a huge import tax.
@samholmessailing
@samholmessailing Ай бұрын
Schengen rule is stupid but as far as the boat tax, you can just sail to Albania or Montenegro or Turkey for a day and then return for another two years tax free.

Hi Sam. Nice video again, funny that anti growth system really works. Question: your windpilot does mot have a chain but has grip cleats. How does that work for you? Do you keep adjusting these lines or is it fix once and then only the course/degree line on the windpilot? I want to switch from chain ( too much slack, loosens itself) to your idea.
