    Sam has shown a great amount of restraint as he resisted the urge to drill holes in this boat.

    • @corporalclegg914
      @corporalclegg914 2 роки тому +8

      agreed. he did get some Gorilla Taping accomplished & sniffed out an issue under sail, so all seems like a characteristic SHS passage

    I am 100% jealous. Way to go team! And huge thanks to Captain Ed for inviting Sam (and thereby the rest of us) along. You guys are all living the dream and a huge inspiration. And one final shout out to the intrepid little bird who visited. You are an awesome little feathered creature...

    Thank you so much Sam for another amazing video.
    While I was watching this one, I realized I do not have to be jealous of you. I would simply have to imitate you: be bold and ACT!!!
    Then nothing would stop us then. As long as health is stable.
    I wish you to be healthy and happy for many, many years!
    (And I wish to myself to be bold enough to quit everything and sail the world away!)

    This would, hopefully, have been the end goal of what started at a two week sailing camp when I was 12 but camp was cut short when the two captains/instructors decided sailing into a hurricane was a great idea. Our mast snapped and our engine didn't work and the other boat ended up sinking, thankfully after it made it to a flooded out marina somewhere on the Chesapeake Bay. That being said is why, 30 years later, I'm living my dream through you and your awesome friends. There's a really nice boat with trailer and enough to start free nearby but my joints are failing and surgery number four is three weeks away. Greetings from a North Carolina transplant here in New Hampshire.

    One of your better installments Sam, curious, is it difficult to be on a voyage as crew, with so many single voyaging miles under the keel?

    • @philgray1023
      @philgray1023 2 роки тому +3

      I happily crew on other boats, content that someone else is paying the bills and worrying about the weather. It is much more relaxing than managing your own boat and worrying about crew comfort. It almost feels like a holiday for me. I find you always learn something from other skippers, both what works and what doesn't.

    Tromsø is a dream destination for me, hopefully one day, could even be next year, especially after seeing this. Summer skiing and a great Skyline hill running race. Svalbard, hmm, maybe a bit too far.
