Sam you never cease to amaze me in how you are truly a Jack of all trades. With your painting of the sea creatures and your sewing you constantly amaze me

I’m also amazed at your many talents. Fixing things, inventing things, alternative power solutions, painting, musical instruments, navigating, sailing, etc. It seems you are that guy that can do whatever crosses his mind to do. Keep it up Sam.

Nice painting man! Awesome that you put the SpongeBob in there. Thanks for the video

Sam, I’m not even a sailor, but your videos are very interesting. Sailing these long passages alone is very dangerous, but your calmness is amazing. I could never do that. You’ve got something here. It appeals to people who don’t even sail. Keep the videos coming bud.

Bro upload more often please. I watch your videos more then any other similar channel and yours is the most down to earth.

That's a sweet FREE boat! Its amazing, Sam actually does real sailing on his channel! 👏🏼👏🏼

Wow! I remember when Tinho and I were both young men in the 80's! So glad to see he is looking good and still sailing!

Sam, it is so refreshing to see how neatly you packed. I never seen a sowing machine, a boat, a bike and surf board in a same shot. As always yet another wholesome vid.

Painting, instruments, sailing, fixing things. You’re super talented!

I'm about to buy my first sailboat within the next month'ish. So many people have told me to not overthink it. Just buy the best boat you can afford and Go! I have to say it is truly inspiring to see a man take an old beater he got for free, throw a blue yetti, a paddle board and a bike in that b and sail around Florida! It really can be that simple and simplicity is exactly what I need more of in my life. Thank you!

sam i’m only 12 but i’m gonna live on a boat like you one day. i live on a boat with my family right now but i’m gonna be like you

You;ve got enough talent for about 10 people Sam! What a guy! Loved this - as a Brit I'm fascinated by the ICW - what a fabulous resource to have! And that beach at the end looked stunning - from a freezing cold England, it was a sight for sore eyes! It's amazing the destruction still so raw from the hurricane - it just shows that mother nature is truly in control no matter what we do. Looking forward to the next one!

Dude, love the painting. Talent, across the board 😎🤙🏻

Great video - thanks for taking us a long.

Man is truly an inspiration to all of us! Wish you Sam nothing but the best from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

That was fun sailing along with you Samwich. Thanks for taking us along.

Sam Holmes renaissance man. 😊

I do like the lines of this boat.

This really brought back memories - My wife and I sailed a 37’ cutter-rigged Hunter years ago - GREAT boat, loved the flexibility of the cutter rig.

Hey Sam, really cool you met Tinho Dornellas - sp? I used to windsurf and race at his place on the river and he’d come to St. Pete and race with Fleet 12 during the late 80’s and 90’s. Good times back then! Keep the stoke! For what its worth, I dig the way you just keep moving all the time having the time of your life, and you do it with such simplicity and relative ease. It’s inspiring.

Nice to see you again Sam. Been watching some older postings waiting for more new adventures. You truly are a talented man, always willing to try new things is something I really admire about you. Always smiling and upbeat no matter the situation, love it!! Stay safe and take care. Till next time...

Your videos are an inspiration Sam - I’m even going to try fried Brussels Sprouts and Salmon! 🤔😂

THANKS SAM! YOUR VIDEOS ALWAYS PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE & MAKES ME HAPPY! 🔥🙏🏻😎💯

One of the lessons Sam teaches is that sailing doesn’t need to cost a lot of money! Boats under 29’ are fairly inexpensive and with a little elbow grease and decent sails, can provide incredible adventure

Thanks for taking us along to another adventure. Till next time.

For someone raised in the desert and mtns, it is bizarre to see homes on stilts that high....like another planet.

Love the , work with what you have and make it work attitude. Great stuff .

You channel rocks! Thanks Sam. ⛵️

Thanks for the video! I love your adventures. We wait for you in the Mediterranean!

Great video, Sam. Loving the new craft content. Be well and stay safe. 🙏

You do such a thorough job in your videos. I really enjoy your content.

Sam. I can't keep up. You seemingly pop up all over the world! Sailing in the artic, next solo across the Atlantic, then windsurfing while eating tacos in the Caribbean. Live on dude. Live on!

Had to laugh! One of the truths of windsurfing is the enormous amount of gear required and the space required to store or transport it. Have fun learning Sam. Learning to windsurf was one of the enjoyable times of my life.

For reference that flag is the same size as a football field. That building is massive.

"Could you open the bridge for me?" 😄Good luck Sam! Waiting for your next ocean crossing videos!🤙⛵🍀

Another great adventure! Great positive attitude and skills to keep things going. Been watching since the L.A. to Hawaii trip. Thank you Sam!

Thank you again Sam! I didn't catch the name of the free boat??? God bless you brother 😃

thank you Sam, i agree with many of your fine commentators listed below.

Very cool, sailing through my neck of the woods. Your definitely inspiring me to get my little 26 sailboat going. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

When you say hopefully it will warm up soon it -12 C here in Norway! thats for the video 🙂

Planing and in the footstraps is a great accomplishment. Windsurfing really gets addictive once planing ! I live in Englewood and windsurf the west coast. Bunch of it on my KZfaq channel, learning to blasting. Love all the sailing content.

Just missed you Sam in Titusville before Xmas. I was checking out the marina on a whim and then saw days later that you were there at the same time! Love the channel, makes my day when you post something new. Homebound up north, dying to get back on the water. Ready to move to Florida.

Always Mister Positive... Fantastic.

I'm loving the stories about this boat so much. It's so inspirational if you have an old boat and are battling to get away from the dock. I need to find some of those nav lights you're using in case mine fail at night

hell of a sailor !

Oh wow, Orion on it's side, haven't seen that before. Greetings from Noreg.

It's all about the attitude! 😊

Cool artwork dude

From 🇷🇺 with ❤️!

Now imagine what you can do with both hands. 😀

That Falcon Heavy launch was probably the prettiest launch ever...and you got to see it first hand. Sailing and rockets...geez...if you had a motorcycle in this video, it would about cover the whole gamut.

Too many talents man. Amazing.

Seein all the devastation still - people's pride and joy all smashed up - makes me quite emotional, but Sam has such great spirit it's infectious.

Sam brilliant, is there anything you can't do ? You are an awesome sailor. Thanks for all the great videos.

You are the reason I got my boating license and learned to sail! Thanks 🙏

Thanks!

How cool is that ? Sitting here in Northern Ohio on another cloudy cold winter day truly enjoying Sam , "Do His Thing" . Many thanks !

I like that hard dodger!

Happy sailing and stay safe

Could have never imagined that you are such a great painter as well damn

It’s amazing how nothing phases you I wish I had your I don’t even know what it is that makes you so great but you are🐬🏝⛵️😎

Hey you are an artist! cool mural. It was fun having you around Merritt Island/Cape Canaveral. You can use one of those windsurfing masts I gave you for whisker pole. See you out there Sam.

I love how you show people its possible without needing much money I picked up a O'Day 272 in Annapolis for free with a running inboard diesel and sailed back to Norfolk VA without ever seeing the boat one of my favorite adventures

Hey Sam, good to see you getting out of Titusville! I'm very familiar with that part of the ICW (water skiing many moons ago) and the water has always been super-gross. Down south, things get better, so hopefully the ICW in Ft Pierce will be much nicer. Thanks for posting and keep on sailing!

Real life Macgruber Awesome dude.

Fellow windsurfer, kiter here. Love that you are getting into it. Getting down water starts, the harness and feet in the straps.. will feel like a real accomplishment. One of my favorite undertakings in life!

Another great presentation, Sam. Love all your work. Thanks for sharing with us!

If this was last Friday, wind was cranking! We were 10 miles south, racing cats, called it after 1 heat Friday….😂😂😂

Nice, can't believe how apocalyptic the land/sea scape is still.

That alcohol stove looks like it works really well.

My old stomping ground. Used to camp on those islands in Malabar… those were the days

I'm 19, from Alabama. With dreams of sailing. I drew a sailboat earlier today for about an hour-and-a-half. (It was great) :)

You had me at Brussel sprouts and salmon 🙂

Awesome episode! It would not be a Sam Holmes Sailing video without drilling a hole into a boat - you did not disappoint! Great work! The main looks a little past it’s best before date…

Fun to see you sailing in my home waters... I grew up sailing those waters, and lived aboard for a while in a marina near where you spent the night.

isnt it crazy how cold it gets in Florida when you just feel it and not look at the Temp! lol..

Good to see you sam

Always fun to watch! Especially when you are in my home waters!

I hope you go meet Key west waterman. You both have a relaxed attitude and voice that is a pleasure to listen to.

I think I agree with the sentiment of retensioning the mast backstay. It's worth the experiment at least. You can get under some of those not-quite bridges by using your mast and a whisker pole as a crane and winch, but you need an improvised seabag to that, if you don't have something suitable heavy on board, such as a dingy.

Hey Sam! It was great running into you in our local waters! I'm glad we opted for our small boat that day. we also have an Ericson 29. My better half was just hoisting the main on our little day boat when I spotted a Bayfield with a Torqeedo on it and figured it had to be you lol. If you ever pass through here again and need anything (tools, sailrite machine etc..), feel free to hit me up, happy to help.

You can probably unpick the bolt-rope stitches near the head and tack, hopefully it will then slide past the slug grommets

I’ve been watching your channel for some time now!! Super impressive!!! I’m in Daytona Beach, shout if you’re nearby! Keep the videos coming!! Thanks so much for all the content

30:52 _"here's another Falcon heavy I believe"_ LoL, your comment compared to 1967 😄

Hey Sam good morning from Washington! I’m going to look at a hunter sloop 31’ 1985 today! Hopefully gonna be purchasing her as well! She’ll be my sailboat I plan to cruise the seas with! Cant wait planning on starting a KZfaq channel as well! Happy sailing Sam good to see another video!

It was nice to meet you at the Westland Boatyard. I'll be following you down south soon.

Always a great video from Sam!

I was in your neck of the woods last weekend. Got off a cruise sunday morning and stuck around Cocoa Beach, Titusville and Cape Canaveral National Seashore Park to catch the Falcon Heavy rocket launch before flying home. Did florida forget to pay it's heating bill BTW? ;)

Sam you're a beast. You're videos were where I first saw paragliding and I'll be trying it this summer when I get out of school

Drill a tiny hole in the mast, then spray in some spray foam to stabilize those wires.

Sailed to egmont key slept in the boat with heavy weather i made every excuse to pull the anchor 😂 so I understand the procrastinating

Ahhh, you make it look so easy!

For your crazed compass glass ... Get some engine oil,. Rub it in vigorously all over with your fingers..leave it on for a good day..buff it off with a clean soft cloth....👍

Hope you had an excellent Christmas and Happy New Year, all the best regards from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏 Batavia Coast 🙏🖖🤟🇦🇺

29th subscriber LIKE; 121st desktop shipmate view. This episode is just sew-sew. That is, until 17:44, when the drill comes out and makes it official. Another hole in the boat.

Is that the Banana river. I went there about 7 years ago. It was awesome.

Love your freebie boat. It's a real beauty and has potential, even if Pickles has a lot more equipment at the moment and a real engine. Hopefully I can save up enough for a little 30 footer of my own next year. Meanwhile I have your videos (and Erik Aanderaa).

I reckon sailing single acros the Atlantic Ocean is epic

Interesting how that food just appeared on the boat... and cooking fuel, pan, working stove hmm.... 🤔

Impressive artwork
