Sam to passing sailboats -"how far ya going?"
Sailboat replies -"couple miles up this river. How about you?"
Sam -"Portugal."
Like when Dodge Morgan set out to smash the word record for solo circumnavigation.
When leaving RI port capt ask for his destination, Dodge replied RI.
Well, it took a little explanation that he was sailing non stop around the world.
It is Portugal but like a 1000 miles away its like the Falklands is the UK but a long way away
CD is
Sam. Have you seen any UAPs? Or had any paranormal, spiritual or similar experiences? While on passage? It's a big open world out there. Livr it when you drop sails and go for a swim when you the only person within miles if not hundreds.
Maybe put some padding on the edge of those solar panels bud. Looks like a headbutt waiting to happen.
Pool noodles or plumbing insulation might save some cuts and bruises.

Can I just say “Sam Holmes” is a name that just screams “this dude is gonna do great things”
Your Hemingway lifestyle is addictively intoxicating to watch. I cant wait to see how the sail goes, but I am sure you will do just fine. Thank you for sharing!
I sailed across the Atlantic in my Pearson 530 Ketch. God speed on you trip!
I put plastic table corner guards on the corners of my solar panels. For the sake of your head, I hope you do too!
Best of luck man! Been a pleasure watching the preparation, now for the journey!
Was sat here 10 mims ago thinkin hey not seen a Sam vid for a while an bang here you are brilliant 👏 be safe sam..
I think he is still at sea enroute to Bermuda and onto the Azores? Tracking on his Garmin.
fair winds and following seas
I've waited for this. garmin shows you to be 4/5ths on the way to bermuda now.
Edit: you seem to have made it
I just answered my own question…..the red line. DERP!!
@@svnoitalever7681 the embedded map doesn't work for me on his page, but when I follow the Garmin link I can see the track!
@@svnoitalever7681 tks for tha tracking link...looks like Sam is a few hundred miles offshore..
Safe travels,like your boat and your style,fair winds
Seems like he can reach Bermuda in 2 days. Looking a wind prediction he's going a lot faster tomorrow.
Bon Voyage. I think you might be sealing the dodger to to cabin top in the future. There could be a lot of very annoying water squirting in there.
Been waiting for what feels like an eternity, can't imagine how you feel. May you have fair winds and following seas. 😎
Based on wind and weather forecast, Sam may shoot a little south of Bermuda, heave to, and drift in. Safer bet if winds are high. So might take an extra day or two.
Stalker! Just kidding!! How do you follow his progress? Good analysis and good suggestion too. You must've done ocean voyaging yourself it seems...
Edit: never mind, just got to the end of his video and saw how to follow:)
@@mboyer68 mother's are allowed to stalk 😉. And we get priority updates too because age comes with a few privileges. 👵 (He had just texted me that info).
@@mboyer68 and I've never done an ocean crossing. Only sailing I've ever done has been as a passenger on one of Sam's boats.
Like many other people, I'm tracking you too. Bunch of people lifting up prayers for your safe travels. You're a smart cookie. Stay safe and keep pumping out the videos.
Oh just watching the bow of the vessel going up and down, the sound of the diesel engine running brings back so many memories of going out to sea.I am looking to have some more of those memories sometime in the near future with my next vessel. My longest voyage was from fort Lauderdale Florida to North shore Oahu haleiwa. I look forward to many more miles under the keel of my next vessel. Looking forward to all the videos to come and of course hoping the best for your voyage good luck Fair winds and following seas to you Sam. Okay set up for tracking you I'm going to be paying attention to your voyage across the Atlantic.
looking forward is good looking back is good, the doing is uncomfortable , boring and terrifying ha ha .....
Can’t thank you enough for your videos so we can all follow along! Best of luck and have fun!
God speed Sam. A good omen to be christened by that rain. Beware the Sirens song. Check in when you hit the Irish coast . We all are riding along with you.
Well, this is a far cry from a 23' boat heading west. You have hit the big time now. 28' heading east, God Bless ya Sailor.
One thing that is sometimes taught here in the UK is
WOBBLE
W Water filter
O Oil
B Belt
B Bilges
L Levels
E Engine/Exhaust
Best of luck Sam!!! Your next video should be pretty amazing
40 years of sailing and this is the first sail boat I have seen with mirrors.
Great video of an expirenced sailor going threw his checklist before crossing the Alantic
Amazing! A comfy excellent Ranger 23. Great refit. You've re-defined for me that a blue water sailboat can be 23 or 24' if it's well-equipped.
Good job on getting that boat shipshape, looks very well set up and easy to sail. Have a great passage and thanks for the video
All I can say for you Sam is your living! I’m in my 50s and haven’t lived those types of adventures! We’ll done!
Good Man Sam and fair wind's and keep safe living the dream ☮️
Found of of the videos you already started the journey to Europe I had to go back to see the prep work on the boat an all love it be safe brother!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Go Sam Go!!! The best of everything to you on this journey our friend!!!
Late to the party, but you left from our backyard - Beaufort. We’re up on the Neuse River now, actually kept Sun☀️Catcher at Pecan Grove years ago when we lived in Oriental!
You make it all look so easy and carefree, but I'm sure it is anything but that. My gosh, your knowledge and skills must be top notch. You are truly an elite yachtsman.
It's a long way, but you'll be okay. Just don't freak out and take your time, my brother!
Holy crap, you are at it again! The Hawaii trip blew my mind. How are you so casual with these trips? It must be nice, I'm envious.
Wow, you have been very busy. So many people dream of buying a boat and having a relaxing life just sailing away. the reality is endless maintenance and upgrades. Your boat looks so shipshape, you should be very proud of her and your work, thumbs up!
Wow Sam lots change on your boat 🚤 nice 👍 guy sweet sailling
Replace that belt. Either you have a pulley that’s not quite even, or a worn belt(narrow in spots). What happens then is the tension changes as it rotates causing hardware to loosen, or some other failure. Cheap insurance. We have this problem on small airplanes and causes all kinds of cracks.
He’s making pretty good time but what do I know I’ve never sailed across the ocean
Took me about a week from Norfolk, VA to France. But, I was on a nuclear powered aircraft carrier at the time, so....
@@tomspallone1868 maybe that can be Sam’s next boat purchase
@@tomspallone1868 LOL
You should check out Quad Lock mount for your phone. I LOVE them. Use it for my boat, bike, truck, office, …
I agree that hearing the rattling sound from engine is perfect when it happened.
Only difference is I would have probably returned. Sam thought it was perfect because it was calm and fixed it. :)
The boat is looking amazing all kitted out to cross an ocean, good luck Sam, we're sending prayers 🤍
Prayers? He's not dead.
🙏Eternal Father, who rulest over wind and wave, look with favor we beseech Thee upon the men of the Merchant Marine. Preserve them from the perils of storm and fog, of hidden reef, and lurking enemy. ... Bless, we pray Thee, all their loved ones.
Enjoy the trip! Thanks for taking us along.
You’ve done a good job Sam and your ship looks sound. I am praying for your safety and a wonderful adventure. I will miss your weekly uploads. This is the first time I’m feeling a little envious of you LOL
Hey, Sam!
For sure, your hard dodger is a nice detail in bad weather!
But when I see all the bolts beside your head, it makes me real worry!
If you don´t want to shorten the bolts, you should think about, to glue an extra layer of wood
around the windows!
In choppy conditions, those outstanding bolts can hurt you very bad, easily!
Fair winds and following waves!
Blue loctite is the stuff for bolts that need to stay snug but get taken on and off blue will allow you to take the bolt back out red will be extremely difficult to get back off.
For the alternator
I hope you replace the toe rail eventually, a Cape Dory 28 deserves that little bit of elegance. Bon voyage.
Awesome to see your and the boats progress Sam. Youve both come a long way to reach this point. Im super excited to follow ur Atlantic adventures. Well done pal
Nice tour ! Please take a record of how many times you will hit your head at these solar panels ! They are placed too low in the cockpit and so take essential living space... Should really be higher up on an A- frame on the stearn. Cheers!
My god! I was so busy catching up on the old stuff I missed that you were off already. God speed and fair winds dude, you are an inspiration to us all!
Just in case you may have forgotten.. you're the man!
Azores/ Madeira are awesome! Crewed on the R/V Vema 45 yrs ago and spent the winter bobbing around the N.Atlantic. I laugh my butt off when I watch "the deadlest catch" and the ripples of the ocean they dramatize.
Well if they weren't drama queens nobody would watch them, right?
love your videos sam, have a great journey. Thanks for bringing us along.
Sam, you are "the man". Inspiring for many of us sailors. God speed on your crossing.
Never gone this long without missing a video, not even a sailor. Just enthralled with your drive and passion, can't wait to see all the adventures on this trip. So much work put in to get to this point, now comes the payoff. Safe travels.
She is looking good.
Like the mirrors, never thought of that.
Raised timber rail is a good feature, keep it.
Will you stow the anchors when underway? Also anything else tied on deck. You will be pleased you did if you get in a storm.
I would have had a mobile search light, more useful and will last longer if not drenched in salt water.
CONGRATULATIONS ON A JOB WELL DONE!!! Last time I saw you in this boat you was removing the seams on the side and starting to fiberglass them in and it was about to rain. WOW.. you have really restored and upgraded. I have worked on Cuddy cabins since I was a kid and I must say I'm really impressed with all you have done. Its beautiful man. I'm saving to purchase my first sailboat. Well, I'm on a commercial, lol..let me skip it and finish viewing your trip.
God speed young Sailor, Hope your passage is a smooth one.
Fairwinds and gentle seas 👌👍😎
Also love your idea of the bow LED light bar and companion way hatch.
She is looking great, stay safe .You are an absolute inspiration, it hasn’t always been easy for you .
God be with you Sam and keep you safe. Happy sailing Sam we'll be praying for you.
Good luck Sam have fun and fair winds to you 😀
Enjoy the crossing! We just finished our return transatlantic crossing. Both crossings were the best time I’ve had.
Looks like your all set to go!
Enjoy the stars 👍
Good luck! I look forward to seeing the videos of your crossing!
Good luck Sam !!! Be safe.
Looks like you should be just about to drop anchor in St George's Harbour. It's been fun checking in on tracking, looking forward to update video or a livestream when you get the chance and can access internet connection.👍
Wishing you fair winds Sam :-)
👍 I've been following your tracker, you're about 150 miles from Bermuda🇧🇲... hoping you packed enough cup-a-noodles!! 😁
Good luck Sam look forward to an update
I watch Sam and similar sailing channels and this is what happens in my brain...
"Screw that, I'm going to stop dreaming of ocean voyaging."
Next day..."I can't get this dream, fantasy of ocean voyaging out of my head, I'll do what he's doing some day!"
Next day after watching how to sail oceans bobbing in no wind for two days..."screw that, I'm going to get a motorhome instead..."
Next day.."i can't wait to get my dream sailboat and begin preparations..."
Etc Etc etc
Sam you are super stoked or had way too much caffeine while shooting this video - I'll go for super stoked. Best of luck on a safe passage with fair winds and gentle seas. Cheers mate and thanks for sharing!
Bon voyage! Exciting. Watch your head around those sharp solar panels
You made it to Bermuda. That's a milestone. Calm seas and steady winds Sam
So you’re on your way! Fair winds and following seas, my friend. Have fun and be safe.
Best of luck watch your head on the corners of the solar panels!
Sam is currently nearby Bermuda, a small group of Islands in the Atlantic. As of 0730 June 11th.
Good luck Sam from Scotland 🏴 🏴🏴🏴
Bon Voyage Sam wishing you fair winds and kindly seas. Best Regards, Barnacle Bern SW Wales 👍👍😎
