    After checking in with Customs I broke the tips of two fingers and couldn’t continue the voyage south. The Customs people were terrific in helping me find a hotel for the night. They also showed more how to get to the airport so i could fly home. The trip required 3 flights and 4 airports so it was best to go to the airport to book it. Hopefully I will sail back soon. The people there are wonderful!

      The customs, radio and Heath authorities were the nices folks to work with. Bummer about your fingers though.

      Yeah, a lot of the sailing couples I've seen try to make their channel like a talk show. I like the Wildlings Sailing though. They have the same vibe that I get from Sam, just not as knowledgeable with boats.

    Sam you’re the man bro. When I hit 30 I want to buy a 35 foot sailboat and sail the Caribbean for a year. Watching your channel is great because you don’t just show the glory shots of sailing, you show what it is to actually be on a boat in the middle of the ocean for a long time by yourself. Love that because it makes the video more relatable and is an accurate picture of what future sailors should expect when they go out on the water on their boats. Keep it up man 👍🏼

Just started watching your videos prior to your departure from Oriental North Carolina. We live in Portsmouth Virginia. I don’t have a sailboat… Yet but I’m thinking seriously of getting one just don’t know what to get. Pretty awesome to give people a picture of what it’s like in dangerous conditions.

    Glad you made it Sam to the Azores. My first posting to your channel.
    I have been following your adventures and recently subscribed to your channel. Pretty cool- just say'n.
    Boat looks good too, almost as good as the pot roast did.
    Bermuda is a cool place. My dad use to fly for the Navy when I was younger.
    He brought back things from Bermuda that I still have to this day somewhere around here.
    The old forts tour was very interesting. Just a bit before our time....
    Dark & Stormy- not very dark but it IS stormy. U don't say? Rum is not living-it's surviving
    Bermuda was host to the America's Cup event several years back out on the Great Sound.
    Stay safe out there- I look forward to your Travel Channel review first impressions from
    the Azores from the Sailing channel of Sam Holmes perspective. It should be highly
    entertaining, just like the rest of your videos are for us.

Question, please: How's your health these days? Guess it was a year or two ago that you had a serious abdominal issue requiring an ostomy bag. Hoping that's all behind you now. Take care my friend and looking forward to more videos.

    I dropped the key to my rented moped into the water at the second spot you stopped at to snorkel. That concrete section you stood on and looked down at is the place where it happened. I did the same exact thing except there were no cell phone cameras back then. I squatted down to take a look and whoops, dropped my key! Thankfully my dad was able to lower me down so I could reach into the water and grab the key. One of my stupider moves I must say.
