Sailboating around Greece 

Sam, I've been following you for years, even when you bought your first sailboat. Your passion is inspiring, and one day, I will follow your wake once I figure out how to manage diabetes and sailing.

Another brilliant video Sam - Greece is stunning and your adventures are always a huge pleasure to watch! God bless & fair winds, Chris 👍

Sam is my favoritist sail boater on the tubes!

Been watching you for a few seasons.... At age 35 I picked up a Barnett butterfly 12' scow. I've been sailing 4 times so far! Never thought about sailing before, you inspired me.

Sailing is: Learning the 1001 different colors of blue! What beautiful superblue water!

Just got my food and saw Sam posted a video? Can't get better than that! 😂😂

Your mellow personality and positive attitude when difficulties arise and your videos on the water, under, and air are amazing.

Enjoying the series. Have been following since the Hawaii trip . Keep on sailing!

1:17 Safety First - what a cute lil freighter

11:20 words to live by. I had to replay it a few times ... Thanks! 👍😎

Wow! Talk about blue water, that was absolutely amazing.

I can't believe you did all these trips with a Cap Dori 28 ! fantastic. ! super. ! keep the ball rolling..

Brightened my day Sam. So looking forward to sailing Soldemar, (my Rival 34) in the Scottish Hebrides this summer. Like the video editing by the way. Matt 😎⛵🌊

That water is the most beautiful blue!

I always find it amusing when tourists get mad when other tourists show up

Thanks for sharing! I don't think you have to worry about missing anything "good" - you're a "venturing out" kind of guy! Love your life and lifestyle - keep on keeping on.

Sam often says "we" at the beginnings of his videos referring only to himself and then I spend the rest of the video looking for Ann-Elin.

Damn, just gorgeous coast line...........wow.

Hey Sam, I started your videos over from the Ballstronaut, Sheetz Fandom, and Wicked Unicycling skills, and now I'm all caught up. Your northern Europe and Med adventures have been very cool. - Larry

Sam dosen't wait around to share the beach with tourists. You make good use of the drown. Thanks.

Always a vibe sir always a pleasure when I catch a chance at viewing your travel experiences.

Awesome videos.. Brings back so many enjoyably memories sailing charter fleet boats from Turkey to Greece then we sailed 2 to Antiqua from Malta.. double handed with my brother one trip, then we singled 2 boats to Antiqua..talk about into the deep end a swim like crazy.. But Greece, great cheap food and wine .. and hoards of Swedish gals..

Your videos are awesome!! I've been following you since the beginning and your videos just keep getting better and better!! ⛵⛵⛵

Good for you Sam, your really living the life. That water is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I'm also currently cruising Greece and can confirm, that Sahara dust was pretty wild. Gotta say Sam, I'm currently living on a boat due in no small part to your videos. Watched for years, finally bought a 1978 Dufour 31 this March and now exploring the Dodecanese. Would be epic to meet you in person if you come this way!

Great video Sam! The drone shots were off the hook. You are living the dream. Great for you, we love your drip!

That is the most pastel light blue I have ever seen water that didn't have some weird algae bloom in it. Even the Carribean islands water has more of a green tint to it. Beautiful!

Incredible Drone footage ❤

Rare to have shipwreck bay to oneself! So NOW you are going to Malta, great; shouldn't be missed.

i found this 3d printable catch handle thing for the mini 3.. its basically a handle that looks like a T with 2 arms sticking out and hinges on the top for a screw.. i think it fits on 4 aswell.. and i bet you could transform it in cura to fit 2 aswell.. it would however put a stick under your drone so if you attempted to land on an island it would tip over and possibly dammage your props.. still cheaper than fumbelling a catch and losing your badboy to davey jones though.. its a 1 time print with hinges and although the creater says you need screws, a ziptie works just as good.. and quicker to release

My favorite sailing RU-vidrs are solos. Latly it seems love is in the air. Both James and Holly are hooked up with significant others now leaving me less to look forward to each week. Lol. I've been single all but 1yr in the last 24 and I guess I take comfort in others being as miserable and lonely as me. Hahaha! Sail on Sam! 😊

You are an inspiration Sam. Thank you

You are the coolest! love your whole character! Be safe!

I remember how stiff and heavy the new sails were when you were rigging them. Glad they worked out.

Always enjoy your videos Sam. I like the drone footage.

The windward side wind is called “burro”. Donkey. = the kicking wind by the Venetians 😊

Hull Shield ultrasonic antifouling sounds good. (Sounds, geddit?!?)

Great video. The drone shots of Greece 🫶

Thank you, Sam!

Nice work Sam. Greece looks so beautiful, the water looks amazing and I can't wait to sail there some day soon. ....I'm almost sold on Hull Shield too! Wishing you a safe passage to Malta. -PV

You may already use it, bot some blue locktite helps with the things that have self loostening fastners.

I love Greece. Really enjoying your videos Sam. Malta is on my list of places one day.

The blue water is the result of the limestone cliffs being eroded by the sea. The microscopic particles in the water make the sea a turquoise colour. So that beautiful colour is your islands dissolving!

Godspeed buddy....from Oriental,N.C.❤

Great episode Sam - love the drone footage.

I always enjoy your videos, thanks Sam. I wonder if you will be heading to Tunisia in the next few weeks? I will be sailing there soon...Fair winds!

Funny. Been to both the shipwreck cove and that beach you went for a swim at in 2021. Small world. Safe travels, sam

Really sweet. You are quite an adverterure!

That bay with the ship wreck in it looks an awfull lot like the place where I have seen base jumpers go off the cliff and land next to the ship. Usually there are lots of party boats anchored there.

That water looks extremely wet! CHEERS from HERE!

Brilllllliant Sam - thanks for sharing ⛵️ 👍

Thanks!

Hello Sam, Nice to see you again in that beautiful blue water. After seen video of Patrick Laine, Eric from nbjs, and Jacqueline from sailing Loveworkx, like you real person with real balls… Cheers

i am so jealous, enjoy your content, Thanks.

I know zante well I worked there for 2 years loved the keri caves

Excellent capturing of the sailing conditions, untouched shoreline, beaches and natural beauty of the coast (as per usual). I bet you'll miss that in Malta, But practically treeless Malta seems like the place to go for creature comforts a city can provide for sure. Others' videos of Malta make it seem very claustrophobic. I'll look forward to your reactions to it.

glad to see you out there still living the life for all us sinners...

Wow I remember that wreck when I was there, it was almost a complete ship. The way the rust has eaten away the steel is amazing, I tried to work out when I was last there, turns out it was almost twenty years ago. How time flies I really did not think it was that long ago. I loved sailing the Greek islands it was such a wonderful place. Sadly now with the new rules it's not so easy to spend enough time in the Med to see it all, I think it's 90 days in any 180 day period. If you want to leave your boat there, after two years you are required to register it in one of the Schengen countries and pay a huge import tax.

Wow what a beautiful place

Just been to Zakynthos 4 weeks ago and its one of the most beautiful islands i have visited. The water was super cold btw.

Hi Sam, We had 2 ultrasound protectors on our 40' Delphia perfectly working for years, I like your videos.

Sam, I have been using my solar panels and a piece of green astroturf as a launch pad for my drone. I always worry about hitting a stay or shroud.

To avoid kinks in anchor rode, use 12 strand nylon, it is far more flexible compared to 3 strand.

I'd feel totally at ease w Sam at the helm - no matter the condition.

Cool that hull shield work, but man that is expensive. I wonder if those are not just piezo transducers with a simple circuit and a weight.

Beautiful vid

Sam, I saw a book recommend in the wall street journal today: "Sailing Alone" : Solo at Sea, by Richard King....might be interesting read for you.

Great video! Greetings from Italy

You appeared briefly on Simon Whiltlers new Side projects, near the beginning.

"I hope I dont just crash this drone" - You. "I hope it doesnt just fly away like the other one" - Me. 😆

Greece is absolutely the most beautiful country in the World. You should drone Myrtos Beach in Kefalonia sometime.....I'm there in July for the 14th time.

Beautiful place Sam ❤

Sam awesome to watch you. I've owned Cape Dory's from Typhoon to 22 to 27 now a Typhoon. Which CD are you in now? I noticed 4 bronze ports. Thank you you're inspiring me to sell everything and sail away.

That WATER!

This will be a trip down memory lane for sure. Is there still a cruising fee for yachts in Greek waters?. Used to be quite a steep one.

Rockstar!

The cargo ship at 1.30 is a fuel ship, used to fill larger vessels off shore

“because everybody hates a tourist” 👍😆

Hi Sam. Nice video again, funny that anti growth system really works. Question: your windpilot does mot have a chain but has grip cleats. How does that work for you? Do you keep adjusting these lines or is it fix once and then only the course/degree line on the windpilot? I want to switch from chain ( too much slack, loosens itself) to your idea.

Dude if you're in Crete over next few weeks love to meet for a beer!

Greece is a lot happier vibe than Italy

Sam, we're you heaved to when you first launched the drone? Looked like an odd configuration

We did a cruise from Athens to Istanbul last year... I wonder if we passed you

Looks like there’s some new lines forward, did you make some changes to your rigging?

❤

Is that the cave Jason went trough ?

Couldn’t quite hear what the name was of the anti- fouling system you were, initially skeptical of, but now impressed with. Could you clarify please. Thanks.

What a shame you not visit the Island Kefalonie, so besutifull there, you mis a lot

Am I mistaken - you bought your current boat in LA for a 30' all GRP Vessel and had the pick of a few choices for $10 000?

Great drone work , is this your music ?

Is Greece the very best cruising grounds in the world?

Do you still have that other sailboat you were using in FL or did you sell it? (Not sure if you named that boat)

To sail today or sail tomorrow?? Sam needs a magic 8-ball

A couple of small styro foam pontoons on your drone might save it.

Could you make a video of how to clear in and out of a country with a sailboat. Which papers are needed and all that?

How often do you run across pirates? And is it a real thing and should a guy worry about it? Please answer i'm a good follower

Rad!

Have you gotten your motor mounts refitted yet? I don’t recall seeing anything about that in your vids.
