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.
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
@SamHolmesSailing130 bruh shut up bot
I’m sure there are quite a few women that wish they could capture his heart.
@@mafp22w Sam...the baddest boy. Breaking hearts around the world, heh.
Bro upload more often please. I watch your videos more then any other similar channel and yours is the most down to earth.
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos.
That's a sweet FREE boat! Its amazing, Sam actually does real sailing on his channel! 👏🏼👏🏼
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!
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!
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.
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!
Heck yeah. We had a blast on the windsurfers that day. Also his Valiant 40 is amazing looking. Sounds like hes got big plans for that thing.
@@samholmessailing hey Sam this is Jack Frost AKA Jeremy, from Hickory North Carolina. I need to talk to you about something going on with your UA-cam channel someone is using it to scam people. Almost got me please contact me and I will give you screenshots and info. I am in the process of contacting UA-cam headquarters about the scam. Just wanted to let you know my friend
@@samholmessailing it goes by the screen name " sam holmes sailing Official " and he is using your picture for the screenshot...😐 asking me for credit card information to pay for shipping for a free iPhone Apple 13 that I won or something like that, obviously a scam and I am saddened that they are using you and your awesome channel to do it to people.
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.
Man is truly an inspiration to all of us! Wish you Sam nothing but the best from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Painting, instruments, sailing, fixing things. You’re super talented!
Great video - thanks for taking us a long.
Nice painting man! Awesome that you put the SpongeBob in there. Thanks for the video
You bet
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.
Right on. Its been fun to experiment with
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...
Thank you very much!
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.
Thanks. I was so glad to have met up with him too.
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 SAM! YOUR VIDEOS ALWAYS PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE & MAKES ME HAPPY! 🔥🙏🏻😎💯
Happy to hear that!
Dude, love the painting. Talent, across the board 😎🤙🏻
🤙
Sam Holmes renaissance man. 😊
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
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.
Absolutely!
Thanks for taking us along to another adventure. Till next time.
You bet!
Great video, Sam. Loving the new craft content. Be well and stay safe. 🙏
Thanks!
You do such a thorough job in your videos. I really enjoy your content.
You channel rocks! Thanks Sam. ⛵️
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!
Love the , work with what you have and make it work attitude. Great stuff .
Glad you enjoy it!
Another great adventure! Great positive attitude and skills to keep things going. Been watching since the L.A. to Hawaii trip. Thank you Sam!
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!
Go for it!
I do like the lines of this boat.
Always Mister Positive... Fantastic.
Thanks for the video! I love your adventures. We wait for you in the Mediterranean!
From 🇷🇺 with ❤️!
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.
thank you Sam, i agree with many of your fine commentators listed below.
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
They're bike lights, you would usually strap them around the seat post or the handlebars.
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
You are the reason I got my boating license and learned to sail! Thanks 🙏
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.
How cool is that ? Sitting here in Northern Ohio on another cloudy cold winter day truly enjoying Sam , "Do His Thing" . Many thanks !
"Could you open the bridge for me?" 😄Good luck Sam! Waiting for your next ocean crossing videos!🤙⛵🍀
Another great presentation, Sam. Love all your work. Thanks for sharing with us!
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!
Yes, I just sailed into Fort Pierce today and the water is beautiful. Glad I did it.
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 UA-cam channel, learning to blasting. Love all the sailing content.
It really is! I was on the cusp of planing in the footstraps for so long and it’s so great to finally have got it. On the other hand, there seems to be so much more I need to learn like the carving jibes and water starts. I want to keep going!
@@samholmessailing i Sam its interesting yr starting on a slalom board. in my day we started on like 12 foot boards with dagger boards and slowly worked down to wave boards. kudos to you to learn on a short board 👍
ive been tempted to take it up again but im unsure if my knees would handle it.
it is a buzz going flat out on smooth water !! 😊
I tried only a small training kite and was hooked in a second.
For someone raised in the desert and mtns, it is bizarre to see homes on stilts that high....like another planet.
Hurricanes baby
@@proknifesharpening yeah that’s a great point
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.
Thats a great idea. I will do that.
Ive been getting a ton of windsurfing in the last few days. Its so addictive now that i can get it up on a plane.
@@samholmessailing 😁LOVE to hear that. You are managing to sail a narrow board that is much more difficult to master than the newer stuff. It just makes you a better sailor all the way around. Welcome to the magic of windsurfing!
Sam brilliant, is there anything you can't do ? You are an awesome sailor. Thanks for all the great videos.
Too many talents man. Amazing.
It's all about the attitude! 😊
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.
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!
Thank you again Sam!
I didn't catch the name of the free boat??? God bless you brother 😃
Tørrfisk
@@samholmessailing Sam have u renamed her ?? what does that mean?
When you say hopefully it will warm up soon it -12 C here in Norway! thats for the video 🙂
Your videos are an inspiration Sam - I’m even going to try fried Brussels Sprouts and Salmon! 🤔😂
You should!
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? ;)
Happy sailing and stay safe
Did you go to the break-in process for the e-bike battery? Once you do they get better range.. it's something like after the first time you ride it, you charge for 12 hours, then ride it and charge for another 12 hours, and I think you repeat a third time as well if I remember correctly 🤔
Interested in how you store your windsurfing gear on the B29, we have the same dilemma.
Always a great video from Sam!
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) :)
It was nice to meet you at the Westland Boatyard. I'll be following you down south soon.
I hope you go meet Key west waterman. You both have a relaxed attitude and voice that is a pleasure to listen to.
Good to see you sam
Always fun to watch! Especially when you are in my home waters!
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.
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.
I had an ebike? Lol 😆
For reference that flag is the same size as a football field. That building is massive.
Wow!!
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 UA-cam channel as well! Happy sailing Sam good to see another video!
Right on. Go for it!
How is your grandmother’s house? We saw it while back and things looked messy.
I feel like I’ve cleaned it up as much as I can. Mostly, we’re just waiting for permits and contractors to do the stuff that we can’t do ourselves.
Thanks for the entertainment! But, what make and model boat are you sailing?
Bayfield 29
Is that the Banana river. I went there about 7 years ago. It was awesome.
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
Right on. It’s addicting once you start
You can probably unpick the bolt-rope stitches near the head and tack, hopefully it will then slide past the slug grommets
I ended up just chopping it off. best decision ever.
My Tiller Pilot makes the same noise. Not sure if yours is louder.
This is my third or fourth Simrad tiller pilot, and they all make different noises.
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.
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…
Obi-Wan Ryobi, drilling holes again.
Thanks!
What happened to the bigger catamaran and gong to the Keys? Did you abandon that for the 29 ft. Sailboat?
Was also wondering if a golf cart motor could be hacked into a boat like yours, probably a few motors sitting around in carts that end up lightly used. Wonder what other motors could be repurposed... Are you heading over to watch the starship launch?
hell of a sailor !
Hello, do you get recognized often when you out and about sailing?
Yeah
I've always thought of a spinnaker as having a physical pole to give you the necessary *"stiffy"* so to speak (distance from jib mast plus proper levelling) but haven't done anything sail wise but watch your channel for decades. New pure BEV *"polestar powered"* eboat made in Sweden but I'm sure not inexpensive. (Candela?)
Great vid as always Sam.
do u put butter and pepper on yr brussel sprouts?
You bet
Did you find the source of the leak?
Yes, its coming from the rudder shaft tube, but only when I sail it hard
RTW with the BAYFIELD 29 would be the ultimate journey.
Could you go the opposite way, Atlantic then Indian Ocean, then Pacific, then home?
Many people remain in the South Pacific for years and years I think.
I have a Heybike Ranger as well. There is a whole set of menus they don't tell you about where you can change the amperage out to the motor, the wheel diameter size the computer thinks it's running, the number of electric output settings, etc
Is there a way to make it go faster in the menu
@@samholmessailing The factory preset amperage draw is 23 amps, the menu option allows you to adjust it up to a max of 25 amps. It's not a lot but that's about 8.7% more power. That would increase accelleration. The top speed setting is already maxed at 60 km/hr
@@samholmessailing but that is based on a 23 inch wheel diameter. You can adjust the wheel diameter all the way down to 8 inches so the computer believes that the rpm the wheel is turning is actually a slower speed.
@@samholmessailing to get to the secret menus turn the bike on and hold down + & - at the same time. That will get you into the basic menu. Then hold down minus and the upper side button on the right side of the +/- switch.
@@samholmessailing basic menu:
tC= trip computer (trip odometer reset)
bL= adjust backlight brightness
Un= units (mph or kmph)
advanced menu:
Ld: wheel/tire diameter
LS: max speed allowed before cutoff
Oh the other menu I forgot to tell you how to get in. After you hold + & - for the basic menu hold + & - again:
UOl: something to do with charge capacity, I wouldn't mess with that
SCa: cange # of electric "gears" and the percentage of power output to each
CUr= current (amps output)
Pas and Hnd= I dont know what these are really
Nice, can't believe how apocalyptic the land/sea scape is still.
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
@textsamholmessailing1 I have no idea what you’re talking about
Sam you never mentioned the condition of the bottom job on your boat after you got it. Are you dragging an aquafarm around with you ? xD
The waters been to merky to get a good look at it so far. I just got to Fort Pierce though and the water is super clear so I should be able to get a good look at it now.
Cool painting, might be interesting to make a T-shirt with the image on it... Nice to see you underway, drifting along the ICW, wondering if the bike motor could be easily hacked to work as windlass. Kind of a fun challenge, was also thinking a bike trip computer could be hacked to be a chain counter for the windlass. At least the magnet and sensor part, that could be used by an Arduino based counter/logger... If you ever get bored, learning to program Arduino based embedded system could allow you to do all sorts of interesting boat projects(custom auto-pilot, drift sensor, engine overheat, salinity/water temp sensors, bilge level,.... The little mcu's and sensors are now really inexpensive and quite powerful. Perhaps some of your followers could collaborate on some of the projects as well. Slack groups might be one way to go if you ever tackle multi person distributed projects...
Ahhh, you make it look so easy!
Real life Macgruber Awesome dude.
Cool artwork dude
Thanks!
Sam is installing an autopilot in a couple of hours while solo sailing. Me? Well I’m still trying to decide what brand of autopilot to buy after a year of research and procrastination!
Good job on the windsurfing. 💪🏼
Nice gentile sailing on ICW. Really not much a challenge for your greater passage ability. But maybe a chance to have some leisurely travel in USA. Carry on Sam.
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 🙏🖖🤟🇦🇺
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....👍
Drill a tiny hole in the mast, then spray in some spray foam to stabilize those wires.
