The Frying Pan Shoals are known as the graveyard of the Atlantic. Watch as I sail through an unmarked cut. lol. Love the channel.
You, Christian Williams and the Old Sea Dog are the best solo sailing channels on YT... you three really seem to embody what “real” sailing is... not the T&A bikini babe “nothing ever seriously goes wrong” channels that are so prevalent here...
You should check out How to Sail Oceans. He is currently sailing solo across the Atlantic on a beautiful classic boat with no engine.
K Durrant thanks for the heads up! I’ll check it out right now.
Maybe have a look at The Sailing Frenchman, too. The guy starts with a tiny boat in the Mediterranean Sea (after a refit), but covers a whole lot more.
I've thought that lately too
NBSJS is a great single handed sailing channel.
No bullshit, just sailing.
Erik Aanderaa from Norway.
It's exciting sailing in beautiful seas!
I absolutely love that your sailing channel actually shows you sailing!
THANK YOU!
Whole new meaning to run-a-muck⚓⛵
Been watching sailing channels for a whole lot of years now. You're my new favorite. Well done out there Mr. Holmes.
You seem to be fearless…… or nuts. Either one it works. Thanks for letting me come along!
I camped out on Cape Lookout once. We only made it one night before our entire campsite was destroyed by a massive storm that we didn't see coming. It was fun. I hate sand now though.
so nice to watch a sam holmes video where nothing goes frighteningly wrong
Love your videos keep up the awesome work. You offer a different style of sailing vlog. So don't change your style ever its what people i think really enjoy
Absolutely. That's why I watch it... it's good to have somebody that doesn't fill their videos with evil things... God bless you Sam !!!
Even going through bad weather and stuff is breaking around him he always has a positive. I think because he is wearing a ostomy bag he must be a survivor of a tragic event and is living life to the fullest
Hi Sam. Nice videos. I have just bought an Hurley 22. Now my son, my wife and I are learning to sail. Yesterday we had both sails up for the first time. Our speed was 4-5 knots.
Claus Cederberg nice. Sounds fun. 👍
Sam, just a suggestion. But it would be cool if you could show more cooking scenes. I think it's pretty cool watching you catch/cook fish or making a burger right there on the pickle herring out in the middle of nowhere 🍔🍗🥩.
Sam something about you and your videos i always feel like I'm right there with you just sailing with my bud. So awesome.
Sam - I enjoy the videos and admire your irresistible smile and let's-do-it outlook. Sometimes I wonder if you are prudent enough on the water but you make it work which is a tribute to your skills. Good luck with the tropical storm.
Prudence comes with age and experience. He has a good skill set and adequate judgement, and most importantly physical stamina and energy. A lot of people couldn't get away with his style of sailing. A lot of his "mistakes" come from fatigue or from just being over excited. Also he's not looking at if from the point of making a super expensive mistake. He just doesn't have that much money tied up in his gear. He's doing a fine job of learning to sail. He has such a positive attitude, and that goes a long way to mitigate risk.
Haya Sam...as couple guys below said...you are sample of Real Yachtman...l like your aproach as you find exit from any situation how you fix broken things....You are star between Handymans....like your channel....
The red light effect was cool, thanks for spending time on that detail in the video
I love your sense of adventure, going "I think I can swim to the lighthouse across the bay." I'm really into lighthouses, and nautical history too. I love going back to places I have good memories of re-visiting things like that. Enjoying catching up on your old videos too, since I found the channel.
When passing New York, make a stop in Long Island’s Hamptons área or better yet: Montauk! We’ll meet you there and help you do repairs or whatever you need.
Sam is killing it, great content.
Enjoying your journeys and the way you handle the videos.
Thanks Sam. I'm glad the fixes have made a difference.
Been watching your videos for a few months now. Love the relaxed-nature of them. Keep it up!
Trusting a chart of NC shoals more than a week after it's been updated is rather brave. Good vid, no fluff.
say again , best sailing channel on line. must send money.
Sam Holmes living the dream. Well done mate and thanks for sharing this leg of the adventure. Really nasty mud around cape lookout *barf*.
Moved here to NC 6 months ago and still have to get to the ocean. Time to stop letting Sam get all the fun and get some for my own!
Sam, glad to see a new upload from you. I’d resorted to your really old teenage videos! Haha.
I really like your genuine videos. None of this poser nonsense showing on some of the other sailing channels. Keep them coming!
If you could spend some more time on your boat project stuff. I surprisingly enjoy those and they’ve given me an obsession to get my own boat and make it mine. Sadly, I’m the least handy person I’ve met, but hoping I can learn and be inspired from watching yours.
Agreed! He has great DIY skills and a lot of us could learn from him as far as when good enough really is good enough.
Cool place //// better get tucked away and get ready for the storm , Thanks for sharing
Always have a bucket of water when pulling up anchor
Sam, It's awesome to see that your fixes/maintenance panned out and made the cruise more pleasurable. I hope you're doing well sir!
I took my boat from Annapolis to Cape Lookout and anchored in the same place for 5 day. Best trip I have done so far. Can’t wait to go back
An awesome spot!
Nothing but blue skies and sunshine no doubt..
Glad to hear you got out of Southport in time! Safe travels and listen to the weather.
Thanks for the update! You sure seem to go through a lot of dingy’s
So many dinghys. Lol
The Graveyard of the Atlantic is more related to the waters East of Cape Hatteras, where two major ocean currents collide. Far more shipwrecks are there, including the USS Monitor.
So glad you're in the Chesapeake!
I spent a lot of weekends anchored out for the weekend at Cape Lookout. I had completely forgotten about what a mess that bottom mud is. A little of it goes a long long way.
I was in YORK Maine just yesterday. -- Safe travels, Sam.
Just watch The US ABC news . Sitting here in Canberra Australia.
I hope Your family and yourself are safe and well.
Lotcof damage from the storm.
Take care Sam .
I guess Disney Imagineers make great sailors. Good luck. Be safe.
The sulfur component is usually the last to be used up by microbes as an electron acceptor, and the first to be oxidized upon exposure to atmosphere, forming various oxides. Anyone who lives near a swamp or estuary will tend to be familiar with the odor when water levels drop. These materials and the associated processes will make a tattoo on exposed metal surfaces.
One of my favorite videos from you recently!
Music and intros! This thing is starting to get professional! Awesome video Sam!
I loved “Dishes Done”!. Hahaha. Glad to see you’re getting the little helpful things to you done. It looked very windy for you here.
That was a cool video!!
I went to Beaufort about 10 years ago and had to make a quick trip out to the Cape because there was a tropical storm coming up the coast. I was the only boat in the anchorage but had to go because that was my final destination. I missed going to the lighthouse and along many of the white sand beaches - so thanks for the tour. I'm leaving in a couple days to help a friend sail his Allied Seawind 32 (Meander) to Boston. Maybe I'll see you - we are leaving from the upper Bay on Wednesday. Ron
Great video, Sam. Grateful for a calmer one!
Always great vids.
Rookie
I have family in Annapolis and I went to Old Dominion University in Norfolk... Fair winds my friend.
Thanks for sharing Sam
Great to see more Sam! Let me know when you get close to New Jersey.
did you get to see frying pan tower? thats a good fishing spot , its like 35 miles off shore from where i live.
Great, thanks Sam!
You are already missing that Florida Sand. Welcome to Carolina Mud !
They's a reason they're called the Tarheels!
Dooley Fussle seriously? I’ve never thought about that before.
@@dooleyfussle8634 Was that natural tar? I thought for a sec that maybe it was oil spill...
I was joking, Tarheels comes from the pine resin and turpentine used to make naval stores back in the days of sailing ships.
Great video! 👍⛵🏝
Another fun video Sam. I bet that burger was tasty.
Fair winds.
Thanks.
Really good stuff as usual. Thanks. Totally wish these were longer. Hey you should make a second channel just for longer videos. Just more footage of regular stuff you're doing. I'd for one would find it interesting!
5:01 I like how you do dishes Sam!
Beautiful!
I have the same stove, but a two burner. I too need to add gimbles, but not cheap!
@beer & cigs that's the plan
Love your movies man.
Gross mud, great vid.
#dishesdone 😁👍
So enjoy your sailing. Your boat just get better and better. Have you seen the one pot gimbaled stove?
Hopefully You made it Safely Through The Hurricane
A lot of pirate ship recks there
Fun adventures Sam!!! 👍🤙👊
Check out fish & slips dank food in Norfolk. Every time I'm out that way I stop buy. Love your channel man.
Really interesting.
Inspiring how much you completed at Southport. Sorry we could not meetup. Next time!!
Next time!
At the risk of being called names, I've heard that red light specifically does not diminish the effects of losing your night vision. It is intensity of the light that matters more.
I think Im with you on this one. It seems to be an unpopular opinion though lol. I think the red light thing is a myth.
Yes, variable intensity is key for any color used. Dimmed as much as practical, red for general use, blue-green for night vision equipment use, and white if color-vision tasks are present. Red is used because our visual blind spot is most sensitive to longer red wavelengths but low intensity. (edited to expand NVGs)
rabbi It seems I remember back in my stargazing days the easiest way to dim a flashlight was to put red cellophane over the lens. It supposedly had the added benefit of having less effect on photographic film (doubt it, maybe some B&W) for those nearby doing long exposure astrophotography. I wonder if that’s why the color red stuck.
As a photographer, red light doesn't burn into your retinas the way full-spectrum light does, allowing you to see faint non-red lights (which is most common) without your eyes needing to adjust.
Is the UA-cam channel your full time job now? Still working for Disney? Love the channel. One of the best sailing channels for those of us wanting to do it on a budget.
Tenders always difficult on small boats. How about a stern mounted canoe with bolt-on outrigger made from 4'' pipe - just a thought!!
@beer & cigs davits bro
Nice sailing. When you sail up to NJ look me up.
It's a shame you can't do a meetup due to current circumstances. I have a bunch of leftover sailing stuff stuff that may be useful. Hope you found the Chesapeake Bay as beautiful as we do..... Are you just hammering through the Bay or interested in some cool places to do some nights? I actually was out yesterday in a bit if a blow by myself. I was doing just great with one reef in the main, but as the wind built from 18 to 25, my 155 became a problem with too much power. (I hate reefing it doesn't have great shape) I was going to press on to the eastern shore, with the thought "Sam would do this by himself no issue". I chickened out, but it turns out it was a good decision. At the dock I did a fairly decent landing in my slip with high"er" winds, not easy to do alone. Then about an hour later, I saw 20 knots ripping through the marina for a good bit. I would still be out there! Thanks for the video!!!
Stove in your lap sounds painful. As you head out on longer cruises I'm sure a gimbled stove will be in order. Watch your marker buoys!
Gotta love anchoring in mud!
At least it holds good 😄
@@samholmessailing Really curious about the black substance, and so try to find out but not sure if this may be it; NC in the colonial era produces a lot of pine tar, pitch, and turpentine for British navy ships (waterproofing ropes and such) and they would flow barges down the river to the sea. Maybe you happened upon a sunken barge and its hold? Anyway, very interesting.
That seagull wasn't having none of it Sam...he was like...Yeah Sam Holmes, I see YOU, sneaking up on me...lol that was hilarious ! God bless you and your family Sam... In JESUS precious name...
Love watchin u sail brother!!! Maybe if u ever make it up to the southern Oregon or northern Cali coast we can get a bite or something!!! God bless and stay safe!!
Sammy !
little lure you would of been cooking mahi or mackeral
U know, even though I sail a 20ft trailer sailor, (upgrade planned :P) I think, that being able to cook a good, delicious meal, is one most important thing to do on a boat, so the galley should be important. Think about that, would you like to live on instant noodles and cheap food, or would you rather eat out in the deck ravioli you just made, or the fish with mashed potatoes and garlic sauce, looking into the sunset ;)? Morale just went up!
Great video, Sam, what was on your starboard just after the freighter clip at about 1:09? Great sailing channel, I’ll be interested in watching how you improve your cooking situation with a proper gimbal
I`d really like to see a picture of the stars and milky way.
Hard to capture on regular cameras
hope you get the dingy soon..
the spring clamp idea sounds awesome, such a simple solution to the problem
I assume you've prepped for TS Isaiahs.
That mud looks like oil.
Saw you're in Annapolis now! If you need anything let me know
Hope you get some steamed crabs in Annapolis.
was that a tanker full of vodka?
Who's the guy with the 4X4 truck and tip jar?? Beach Taxi??
Where are you during this hurricane?
Sam, will you be traveling through the C&D canal?
I'm sure my turn to run aground is coming...awesome video as usual even though I'm only a minute in. My Keys sailing adventure last week was super fun! Bloody hot though.
Its been brutal up here too.
When will you be near deltaville
I like your videos Sam, I’m a Sunday sailor on SF Bay. How are you funding all your time at sea?
Question, do you still need to use the Ostomy bag? If yes how much longer will you be needing it?
Pointing out scenic areas with nasty finger. I'm getting a better understanding of sailing.
Great vid. I don't think u need to refrigerate mayo or ketchup. Do u.? Anyone
Real mayo contains eggs, once the bottle is open it MUST be refrigerated or will spoil. If eaten you will probably get food poisoning. Catsup doesn't need refrigeration nor does mustard
what solar panels are those? like the low profile!
