Bravo! Atta boy Sam! Yes, food works pretty well too. haha Eat healthy is a great idea. I'm really proud of you (I'm sure that means a lot. lol) And thank god not every video will have the AG1 ad pitch, it's so annoying. I'm subscribed to a couple channels that continuously plug them. Maybe you should create your own ad plug for, oh let's see...Oranges? Bananas? Blueberries? Grass fed beef? Fish?
As a chef of many years it made me so happy to hear someone else state the obvious nothing is better than natural food you can take all your expensive supplements and replace them with reasonably costed food which is way more fun and miles better for you.
@@221b-l3ttoo much protien is bad for you, which excessive protein is stored as fat (or burned as energy). Carbs are a key macro needed to function properly. Carbs=energy.

So glad for this! Thank you so much for not promoting the BS drink like so many other sailing channels are doing! Yay for integrity! Too bad those other sailors promote with nebulous claims of "more energy", "more focus"...more BS I say. It if truly gave more focus, they'd realize they'd been duped and stop using it. Applause to you! (PS I also have a CD28).
LMAO!!! I can't believe you crapped on AG! That was so AWESOME! Every other sailing UA-cam channel has that:-) Great video as always, thanks for sharing!
Your AG1 non commercial made me laugh. I'm kind of sick of hearing about it. I appreciate that you have some integrity about not shilling for something you wouldn't use.
Still better than squarespace and those stupid ball shaving garbage. Those damn trimmers are so overpriced and pretend like "skin save technology" isn't in every damn razor that costs more than 20 bucks. And of course special creams and ointments because "apply off brand lotion and perfume" is not exactly profitable. So we get fancy tiny little bottles of overpriced goop that could easily be replaced by a 3 dollar 2 L bottle of generic goop. And the damn wallet!! Oh look at my cadh strapped to the outside!! Please hold a knife to my throat and rob me!
2:40 was such a neat shot, panning. cozy warm cabin interior light, sailing swiftly in the twilight skippy sea-state with the crackle of the foreign language female voice over the radio. Nice Aesthetics.
Also, your stance on electronics irritating the orcas, is the right way to deal with this. Weve seen the Navy stir them up in the PNW (Puget Sound/Salish Sea) for decades. Our behavior is key. Im pissed about the AUS Pilot Whale scene, and Im glade you are aware enough of our impact on the whales. More Pro Gold Stars for you
Ha ha ha ha!!!"Food works perfectly fine." That was classic! #noAG! I've never considered Patreon before but now I must reconsider!! Thanks for being the renegade in a copycat world! Sam, you are the man!!! #NoOrcas!, North of Durham...........⛵⛵⛵
That's why I am still a subscriber to this channel. Genuine and honest not looking to deceive your viewers in order to make a buck. I have been considering Ag1 wondering if it really does taste enjoyable like the other channels testify too!!! Thank you.. I will be non subscribing to the channels that sell out their viewers. I knew something was up when a channel was boasting about all the vitamins and minerals in Ag1 and then a couple months later had a mental break down only to start taking separate additional supplements. The God's take care of dishonest people hence the future.. Goodman Sam!!!
There are much bigger ones. AG or Squarespace might pay like 1-20 grand, depends how big the channel is. Established Titles routinely paid large content creators 100 grand. I mean I make 12 grand a year so it all sounds huge to me haha. I would sell my soul so fast. You can have it for 7 grand so I can buy a boat.
First time I hear someone turning off sonar equipment to avoid disturbing the orcas. I’ve been thinking that could be what they’re protesting against. There should be some sort comprehensive questionnaire including everything boaters were doing when they got attacked by orcas: sailing, motoring, equipment on, fishing… i don’t know, maybe find a common denominator. Could be why they never bugged you!
I have been talking about sonar being the cause of angry orcas for years. Glad I finally saw someone else thinking about it in this sense. Would be interesting to see how many attacked boats had/did not have, their sonars on. I think many boats have it on constantly without the owner ever thinking about it.
I've been following you from the beginning. I appreciate your Living life traveling the world in your boat. I hope you get out and enjoy all the stops in the Mediterranean. Be safe!
Sam, I always tune in for the "what could possibly go wrong" moments, I love the "perceived" haphazard way you sail around the place, in and out of danger, compared to some of the other "planned and risk averse" sailing channels . What I've come to realise, is that you're an extremely accomplished sailor, and this is well highlighted by your night sail, non use of sonar/depth instruments to lessen the chance of Orca chomping down on Pickles...and the ease of your sail measuring and description of where you'll ask for custom reefs, and why. It makes perfect sense, for those that "know their boat" and its limitations. These gems are why I keep coming back... fair winds my virtual friend and enjoy the Med.
I have heard that Dolphins prefer to hang around hulls with white anti fouling bottom paint, maybe because most fish and a lot of big fish and whales have white undersides!!! It would be good to survey boats attacked to see what colour anti fouling colour they had as well as other parameters of attacked boats as suggested below! SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland(where the Orcas are friendly!)
Nothing against AG1 supplement. But I appreciate you giving a real review. All other sailing channels talk about how good it taste so we now know that's BS
5k's worth of damage in 4 minutes of attacks, that's impressive. 'Argo' looked like a great boat. Orcas are reported to be attacking boats along the French coast now and also one report of a boat attacked crossing the North sea from Shetland to Norway. There are some amazing places to sail to in the Mediterranean. I hope Pickled Herring gets through without aggressive intervention from them. Great video 👍
Man Sam, you are awesome! Turning down the money because it doesn’t fit your beliefs. After this video is over I will head to Patreon and put you on my list.
Cal's boat for $500 was a steal, even with the necessary repair work to be done. ...and as others have said, thanks for not selling out, especially to a product that you don't really like. Integrity lives.
Pretty cool seeing that Arleigh Burke class US Navy destroyer out there. Wonder which hull it is. Those things are pretty badass. I don't think I'd wanna go open ocean sailing without having an auxiliary rudder. I'd wanna have some gudgeons on the transom and a rudder assembly I could put together and hang off the stern if needed.
SAM !!!! 😂 You are now my Hero for standing up and saying BLAH BLAH YUCK on that AG-1 Nonsense So many Tubers are pandering that powder to get a few $$ and It annoys the hell outta me. I would gladly send $$ to avoid having to hear about that crap , yet again .. ps. Sailed 11 days on Hydra and got it to Port Weller. She sailed well and impressed me ,, might bring it down to Naples in September if the Hurricanes stay silent. Cheers Bro !
I hear that turning on the motor and going in reverse has saved a few boats from the orcas. It causes them to not get a good angle of attack and eventually give up and go away but apparently it could take hours for them to give up
@@ronaldstarkey4336 If the stuff i heard was true and it took them hours to finally give up id say they definitely tried to get their moneys worth lol. I find it hilarious that Sam sounds truly disappointed he wasn't attacked lol
I tried AG1 for a month or two, didn't see one bit of difference and they charged too much for it and had to pay shipping each time I got it. Still have one bag of it in the freezer, don't know if I will use it up or not. Never cared for the taste of it myself either.
Get a hot wire on standby off the battery or inverter drop it in when it gets close little hard on the zinc but they won't mess with you they'll turn tale
They’re asking everyone going through the Orca’s to contact them and they’re trying to document who it’s happening to & why. I think it’s called the Cruisers Association. They said the ones with black gel coat were hit more.. going into reverse doesn’t help, can endanger them & can possibly get you in trouble. However, what has worked was throwing a bucket full of Sand between the Orca & the rudder. It does something to their “Sonar” and they can’t see it is the idea. They advised turning off your sonar equipment too. I’m glad you made it, although I know you wanted to see them….
Yeah Free Willy 🐋🐳 was a Disney? Sonic boom could be jets Breaking the sound barrier Training or whatever We had one in DC area a plane in no fly zone around capital Mom and daughter (+ one to two others) Presumed depressurized Crashed in low density Appalachia / Blue Ridge mountains or so the other month
But frankly, Im not sure that WE care if you do or dont. certainly, we want you to keep publishing, and god damn it, get better cameras.okok, ill say this,if they wouldve given you enough to upgrade your editor and cameras to 1440p or 2k, I wouldve said- go for it. especially if they dont constrain you in other videos from saying what you just did, that whole foods are the path to nutrition.
Sam, The sonar ping. I wouldn’t be surprised if you might be on to something here. I expect these whales are equally intelligent as other members of their species. Is this a true predator/prey situation or an aggressive play behavior? From what I understand, the whales seem to eventually become bored and leave the scene of the crime. This leads me to believe that it may be an aggressive play scenario. A learned behavior amongst a population perhaps ? This localized killer whale population involved in the behavior does not seem to gain a food reward, leaving the game factor as the potential reward. Biting the moving target rudder may simply be fun. “Hey guys watch what I can do” A marine mammal version of “hold my beer.”
This is like your 3rd video in a row that I've been afraid for Mama Holmes to watch! I suppose the Orcas can sense that you're NOT afraid of them so they leave you alone.
are the sailors traveling inside the orca's mating area? Seems odd that they are attacking that close to shore but not at sea. Maybe its time for the boats to stay off shore more. Its a great vid.
Thank you so much for NOT hawking some disgusting green drink mix. Sailing UA-camrs who do that completely lose cred in my book. Methinks you maintained your pure karma which kept the orcas away!
12:39 No doubt AG offered you a lot of money for a sponsorship! And when you laugh and look at the horizon it's clear; you are a free man in every sense of the word.
Sam, I learn so much from your sailing channel. I really appreciate your explanations of what your doing when you are at sea really helps. I hope to buy a boat within the next year, maybe I could hire you to be my instructor in the winter months if come back to the USA. Be safe I don't want to see your boat damaged.
How refreshing to hear your comments about Athletics Green. I had a brief exchange on UA-cam with Brian Trautman (Delos) pointing out that the diet they have lived on whilst sailing all over the world lacks nothing and doesn’t need supplementing but he wasn’t having it. In my opinion when he does his heavily scripted piece about AG he looks and sounds a bit sheepish. It’s a shame because otherwise he seems such a sound bloke.
Yeah... they're all trying to make a living. Initially Delos wasn't selling out to anyone, but if the money is there and you have a family and expenses are mounting... where do your thoughts go? I expressed concerns with those fake Japanese knives that they and others promoted. I also called out the "Scottish Titles" BS that other channels have promoted. (not sailing channels). Does everyone have the luxury of not accepting money "on principle"? Nope. Are you a regular patron of any channel? Do you watch every second of each video? Do you give the vids a "like"? No one is "rich". Some few are making a living... to bring you a bit of entertainment. Brian Trautman included.
Honestly if someone is in a financial tough spot it's fine. You don't have to buy the product, can skip the ad etc.. only people with money have the luxury to refuse it. Most do not. I have worked manual labour and crap jobs, tips taken away etc... if someone tells me speak nicely about, let's use the worst example, Established Titles and you get 20 grand which is more than I make in a year, then yes, I'm sorry. I would. A well established channel that is doing well financially with views alone and regular sponsorships and patreon doing sketchy sponsorships on top of that just for money that's not needed at all then yes I think we can judge more harshly. I would take the money as long as I am broke af. I think you should show some compassion for those who are in the position of: beggars can't be choosers. You take what you get.
@@221b-l3t Well Neither Delos or Sam are broke and do not need to peddle any powders on YT And it's not that much of a profit anyways , they wanna send you free product and pay you a couple hundred bucks if you do a segment on your upload. I have 2 channels and don't see YT ads anyways. I just frown at these products, Established Titles is a bit different, its a Novelty Gift type item , Ozlo the dog from Atticus just got his recently. It's a bit different than trying to get ppl to ingest green miracle powder keep the comments coming though , it boosts Sam algorithms and he'll make more revenue. Because Sam is awesome and everyone loves him !
You mentioned sail drives, plural. I have not heard of any of the whales "interacting" with catamarans. I am curious if they are attacking boats with some unknown commonality or signature. I have only heard of Monohulls getting hit.
Thank you Sam for not selling out to AG!!! Your raw honesty is one of the reasons we love you and your channel so much. 🤜🤛
F*ck yeah, loved your integrity to not promote something you don't believe in Sam, awesome :D
totally agree. this is why I like to watch sam's videos, he is geniune.

Well done Sam! Don't sell out!
Love the content Sam ! I bought my first sailboat last month thanks to you and your videos !
Hopefully the local Orcas won't find your rudder too tasty. Smooth sailing Sam!
LOVE your integrity, Sam!!! You need some links in your description for donations to your honesty fund!
Excellent re AG, huge respect, judging by the look on Duracell Matts face, it doesn't look that tasty!!!
Hi Sam, Orca’s don’t link Pickled Herring so you should be safe 😉
it's more accurately translated as "whale killer" than "killer whale"
Love the honest reviews! Even with missing a fat payday! That’s seals the deal. You got a new patron!

I love Sam even more that he didn't sellout to AG!
How refreshing to hear your comments about Athletics Green. I had a brief exchange on UA-cam with Brian Trautman (Delos) pointing out that the diet they have lived on whilst sailing all over the world lacks nothing and doesn’t need supplementing but he wasn’t having it. In my opinion when he does his heavily scripted piece about AG he looks and sounds a bit sheepish. It’s a shame because otherwise he seems such a sound bloke.
Yeah... they're all trying to make a living. Initially Delos wasn't selling out to anyone, but if the money is there and you have a family and expenses are mounting... where do your thoughts go?
I expressed concerns with those fake Japanese knives that they and others promoted. I also called out the "Scottish Titles" BS that other channels have promoted. (not sailing channels). Does everyone have the luxury of not accepting money "on principle"? Nope. Are you a regular patron of any channel? Do you watch every second of each video? Do you give the vids a "like"?
No one is "rich". Some few are making a living... to bring you a bit of entertainment. Brian Trautman included.
Brian needs every $$ from companies he can pander up. Delos is breaking down and needs repairs daily , lol 😂
Honestly if someone is in a financial tough spot it's fine. You don't have to buy the product, can skip the ad etc.. only people with money have the luxury to refuse it. Most do not. I have worked manual labour and crap jobs, tips taken away etc... if someone tells me speak nicely about, let's use the worst example, Established Titles and you get 20 grand which is more than I make in a year, then yes, I'm sorry. I would.
A well established channel that is doing well financially with views alone and regular sponsorships and patreon doing sketchy sponsorships on top of that just for money that's not needed at all then yes I think we can judge more harshly.
I would take the money as long as I am broke af. I think you should show some compassion for those who are in the position of: beggars can't be choosers. You take what you get.
@@221b-l3t Well Neither Delos or Sam are broke and do not need to peddle any powders on YT
And it's not that much of a profit anyways , they wanna send you free product and pay you a couple hundred bucks if you do a segment on your upload. I have 2 channels and don't see YT ads anyways. I just frown at these products, Established Titles is a bit different, its a Novelty Gift type item , Ozlo the dog from Atticus just got his recently. It's a bit different than trying to get ppl to ingest green miracle powder
keep the comments coming though , it boosts Sam algorithms and he'll make more revenue. Because Sam is awesome and everyone loves him !
That channel died like 4 years ago when the fun people left and grew up.
I love Spain. I lived in Rota (a bit north of where this video was taken) for six years. It was awesome.
“I wanna see them” 😂 you sure doctored adventures. Great channel!
Maybe Humpback Whale Sounds into the Water could scare away the Orcas ...😊😊😊 ...
You’re sailing in my dream area! Live aboard my Tartan 34C; just had to buy a car for work or I’d never afford to get outta here. Named it Orca lol.
So glad you turned down that powdered algae crap. 😂🤣
F**k Athletic Greens! Loved that bit
You mentioned sail drives, plural. I have not heard of any of the whales "interacting" with catamarans. I am curious if they are attacking boats with some unknown commonality or signature.
I have only heard of Monohulls getting hit.
Hmm... Could also be that there's just so many more monohulls out there compared to twins and triples
They definitely got that catamaran good. Double rudders double fun lol
Highly appreciate your honesty about AG1!!!
Damn straight!
