23 days alone across the Atlantic in a small boat 

As a non sailor, now thinking about falling overboard on a boat that’s going to keep going without me...I would never leave shore without at least 3 longgggg drag lines with floating orange buoys all along the ropes😅😅😂😂 That sounds like a nightmare

I don't understand this either, I wouldn't leave the boat without being attached!

Gave me the chills. A few knots of wind and you’re gone. Please never do this again.

Ditto on the gloves, ropes with nots and man definitely pull your sails down next time!! I shit myself when you jumped over, We want you around for further awesome adventures 👍

@@Ohsnapski my blood pressure shot all the way up imagining that.

Why?

@@jasonhale5439 ocean is no joke

@@jasonhale5439 It's dangerous you dumb fuck!

@@howardjohnson6584 Geez man easy with the insults.

@@CockatooDude Dumb asses deserve no courtesy.

@@ianjohnston379 good to know. Thanks.

He didnt even say thank you 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

@@JMBeats999 I don't give with expectations of anything

He didn’t even said a word

@@waseemsyed9770 Yeah we understand that we dont give waiting for anything but Ive seen videos with millions of views and the youtuber said thank you to like 10 dollars

And we the taxpayer has to pay for the search and rescue. Wonder if he has a 2 mile long anchor

@@breakingames7772 Bahaha!

@@breakingames7772 bro shut up about taxes you absolute jack ass

There are hundreds of RU-vid channels exactly like his. He’s definitely not one in a gazillion. Maybe one in a few thousand. 🤷‍♂️

@@louskunt9798 I think you took her comment too literal, it's just a compliment. Anyways most somebody could be is 1 out of 7.96 billion or so(world population)

I've caught myself doing just this on a Virgin flight from SFO to DFW, finally turned off the TV and sat in misery for the rest of the flight.

The in-flight movie playing in the movie Airplane is a documentary on plane crashes lol

so true lol

Losing your ship in the middle of the ocean with no help is a real possibility of blue water sailing ..Steve Callahan's boat went down very quickly .. reading such a book about a man who was lost at sea for 3 months a lot of good information can be learned that could save your life if it ever happened . Steve Callahan is a legend who saved his own life where many would have perished.

hahahhahaha

Was thinking that too. I would stay very close to the boat if I did jump off of it.

I would tie a bowline around my torso at the very least.

In a current, wouldn't Sam and the boat drift together?

@@TrentonLipscomb the boat will drift faster than him

​@@asmrnaturecat984 how?

I would be pisssed 😂

​@Gofroze you would be dead.

Yup..He's 1 in a million!

No !

Well to be more specific, we love his teeth.

Yeah

Other than being extremely jealous of him, yeah.

No, you are watching you phone

Nothing is the same in person as it is on a screen. It’s definitely amazing that we get to experience this at all but don’t start thinking it’s as if you did it lol

@@sjk7467 I think it's more of a nod on how far technology has come...and youtube.

I love how everyone misunderstood your compliment about the video

@@chanceym6000 It was a joke dude

1979 in october Me and My then girlfriend left Tanger for Madeira. The first 12 hours nothing special happened. Then the Sea grove bigger and The Vind vent from 10 to 20m/s. We changed The Genua to a storm fock perhaps 6m2 and The mainsail to about 10m2.steering towards The wind but The fock to The right and The main to The left. Upp faling down slowely drifting away. 300 m long waves 10 m height. In My west pockets I had one bottle of whiskey in The other My Smith and wesson modell 66 IF I was to fall oweboard I could then make a decission which of these I was going to use first. 7 days later We sailed in to Lagos Portugal. Ancored and told by a police to come ashore. I used our dingy and on The beach I took two steps and fall on my face into The sand. He sad NO alkohlica aki. I told him about our journey and He took me to The station and clearing US into Portugal. We sailed to Vilamouera left our boat and helped an American to The westindies But that is an other story. What I learned Never say diy Prepare for The worst and You will servave.

I spent 26 years sitting in my law office. We are just starting our circumnavigation around the globe in our Najad 440 formerly RAN II from Ran Sailing and words truly can't describe the life changing experience of being out on the open ocean under sail. Follow your dreams, follow your passion, it's never too late!

Sitting

I live in the high arctic of Canada. I take my skidoo out on the land far from town. You cross a few valleys out into the barren tundra sheer open land as far as the I can see in every direction. You’re days away from the nearest human being.

@@jamestwerdin1189 that sounds amazing. I love the idea of being far from civilization of course I realize I may feel different if I was ever in that situation.

3 days is nothing...

Sailing is one of those things that can make you feel a special kind of freedom. I'd say go for it!

I learned to fly. Started lessons 8 years ago, bought a Cessna 172 and kept for 5 years. Had some great adventures. Took sailing ASA101 a couple of years ago and want to progress. Now want to buy my first sailboat and have more adventures. I was in the Navy for 6 years .. spent some time on the ocean, but one handed sailing adventures are very doable. Prepare, do your homework, prepare more, have backups, be safe... go do it!

@@CowboyBobDuke My uncle is actually a pilot. He taught me on his little Mooney when I was younger. I loved it. Something about a small rocking boat in the ocean unsettles me way more than being high in the sky. Its a bit strange I guess. I am going to give it a shot, thanks for the response Robert! Enjoy your adventures !

So true. Watching weather come in reminds me that this stuff lies in the realm of the bravest men and women, not shook by anything, able to calmly deal with weather and boat issues.

@@heatmoon Well said. The true power of the Ocean is immense. I think sailing the open ocean is a challenge, but doing it solo, is a whole other level. If you can find harmony on the open ocean, alone, in a small boat, I think you can find harmony anywhere.

Amazing

Bro I’m the opposite. Sounds like heaven

...and this concludes today's Safety Sam Safety Briefing... :D

I was thinking the same damn thing. Dude is CRAZY doing that! If the breeze decided to pick up right then. Bye bye boat!

It made me nervous too, but at least he's trailing that safety line. Better than nothing. Still dicey.

I'm designing and already assembling materials to build a self recovery system for sail boats specifically. I'm buying my first sail boat in now; 3.5 years. My first thought on sailing was what of I fall off. I'm a commercial diver and every diver I know has fallen overboard at least once. I've yet to hear one comment or question about my design. I m building this device for me but it seems to me every sailor should want to at least know about it. If no one hears your yell as you go overboard you might as well have been alone anyway.

"I saw this in a cartoon once, but I think I can do it..."

Australian sailor. Jessica Watson, 16 years old.. Sailed solo around the world unassisted.. Look her up..

G.J., watched her voyage, absolutely amazing. I long distance hike. Bears don't scare me, oceans do. These sailors have my utmost admiration.

@@chriskelly6559 I have spoken to her.. Her yacht did "turtle " twice.. That is a full 360 degree roll over.. upside down and then back.. But one she did love is the solitude, and no technology crap.. the look at me being famous people.. And her yacht was so small.. A S&S 33 foot.. that had to carry all of her supplies..

G, I turtled on the Appalachian Trail, good thing you can't sink on solid ground, though the rocks are kinda hard.

Yeap, spent over 40 months at sea on BIG ships.... would need to be paid, A LOT, to do this. Still remember seeing a guy arriving in Barbados in a little sail boat like this, with a lot of sea salt on the deck, clothes hanging to dry on the deck and the guy jumping up and down on the deck going crazy with happiness... ... ... Our cruise obliged him with a blow from our horn, the guy was crazy happy. :D

At least Pickled Herring is bigger than the Swedish Fish. You have more room to move around in but the sails can be handled on your own.

If you haven’t seen his video from California to Hawaii in a 23 footer you should check it out it is good

@@alanluscombe8a553 i will do that, thank you. have a good day :)

@@alanluscombe8a553 atlantic is harder than pacific tho so this is more impressive

@@fastpace101 I wasnt trying to make it a one up contest I just said the other video was good as well

Hey I do the same thing out here in the Rockies. It’s a good life :)

Im not introverted but i like to go ride my motorcycle and car alone sometime.....haha

I bet you talk to yourself

@@globextradingsystemsllc1740 24/7... you got a problem with it?

​@@joeg5414He was talking to the other you, not You you.

Live

How many years of experience would you say you need to take, say, a 39 foot schooner across the Atlantic?

@@captainjules6033 anywhere from 1-50 years.

@@keithray402 probably closer to 50 too😂

😆 exactly

@@captainjules6033 mate of mine did after learning to sail two years earlier. Ultimately you can spend 30 years sailing the same seas 10 weekends a year or you can just max the sailing for a couple of years and get the same experience.....#onelife

scares me as well but I'll get over it!

Blue water diving can be disorienting and a bit scary, but fun.

My theory is, if you don't like heights, you won't like depths. (I don't like either, and I fly and dive...go figure)

@@michaelpowell9164 That's it. I jump in as the last remaining Megalodon swims by, or the Kraken, or whatever else my mind can conjure up. :-)

Always reminds me of the Jaws movie poster.

Thought same thing. 😟

At 6:04 he has a look that no amount of words can do justice

Yeah, that is fucking retarded.

That’s just stupid

So dumb, i don’t get it.

yea he’s a dumbass, you can only be an irresponsible moron for so long before natural selection takes its course

why didn't the boat move? water brakes?

But he is nervous :D

Lucky it doesn't happen often.😊

True that.

It scared the crap outta me........

🤣🤣🤣 absolutely right!!!

Yup, when then camera switched suddenly to the shot of Sam looking concerned my stomach knotted a bit…..

Merritt, do you miss it or did you get sailing out of your system?

@@abbbee8918 All of that great adventure and you haven't learned a basic sense of comity and good will? I think perhaps you need to set sail again.

@@abbbee8918 you seem like a problematic fragile fool on some oafish clown shit. yikes

@@abbbee8918 usually jokes have a punchline that's funny, not plain insulting with no basis of humor. poor attempt 0/10 funnies

@@flickwtchr you’re right, comment withdrawn

What do you use to study DB? Have you got an online course or books, or what? Thank you, Mike.

I was thinking the same thing

Ive wanted to do that ever since my mid pacific swim. 😮

I estimate it would take about an hour and a half to reach bottom at 3 miles deep.

@@JMan-24 wild!

The washer glinting down was the highlight to me. Idda jumped in buck ass naked too.

He's genuine unlike so many sailing channels that are "look how amazing our life is. we live a vacation every day" videos. Looking at you SV Delos

spent about 9 days in the doldrums and i can tell you it is without a doubt the weirdest experience i have ever had in my life , especially after spending 2 weeks getting battered around by the Pacific Ocean .

@@furiousscotsman2916 I’m sure. That’s awesome man

​@@furiousscotsman2916It's spooky as hell I've only been about 60 miles off the coast at most and when the sea looks like a pond without the slightest ripple it's very unnerving.

Crazy

@@loganstroganoff1284 why unnerving? Because it’s trippy? Or because it’s dangerous?

I genuinely hope you get to have you adventure. I think cruising at your own speed around the Mediterranean would be amazing.

@@JulieWallis1963 Thank you very much!

Do it, do not delay

Same here... I'm sailing in Potsdam and dream of life on the boat. Not here in Germany but all over the world. We live beautifully here but there is so much out there and how cool is it to explore it all by sailboat.

His and sailing project atticus are by far my two favorites

My rule is if the channel posts cringe drone footage every video they aren't worth watching

I could see myself doing the Appalachian trail alone. You’re on land and never that far from people/help. Sailing across the ocean alone is a whole different level!

@@calebroberts1961he bears snakes and wolves though……check out the blackalachian.

I'm considering moving to Arizona

@@qwopiretyu As an Arizonan myself, what makes you consider?

@@angelmm26 I'm from canada and am sick of the snow and ice each year. I like the low property tax. I realize all the property is in uninhabitable desert.

@@qwopiretyu Well if you're not too big of a fan of uninhabitable desert and scorching heat of 38°C then I'd recommend northern Arizona. A town called Flagstaff boasts high temperatures from 30°C to lows skimming 0°C. And among all the desert and dirt in Arizona, Flagstaff actually harbors a grandure of pine trees. Also if you're a fan of snow related activities but just dont like the shoving then there's the Snowbowl located in the mountains a stone's throw away from the town of Flagstaff. The one downside that I can think of is it's home to an abundance of college kids and bars. Overall, I think the town is great though!

@@angelmm26 why would I not wanna go to a college bar town? Granted Canadian college students and American college students might be different innebriates
