Sailing with Sharks 

I've been following since your solo to Hawaii. Really enjoy every minute!

I think this is my favorite one yet. Love it when Zoe says "daammn" as the iguana jumps in the water.

I have Crohn's and just bought my first boat. You gave me the confidence, thank you 👍

12:36 Perfection. Great shot. Awesome channel.

Just started watching your video's a couple months ago, it's the best sailing channel by far, and I love the chemistry you and Zoey have she seems like the perfect fit for you.

Loving the videos incidentally. I'm watching them in Hospital getting over a cancer op and they are keeping me positive. Thanks bro'

5:20 great view of the water!

That lizard jump though!!

Nice touch putting your channel name/title on the wind vane. Nice video. Pleasant to watch. Looking forward to watching more. Our sailboats are all gone now. We only sail vicariously now so please keep the content coming.

If anyone is wondering, those look like Black Tip Reef sharks which are basically harmless to humans.

3:09 those are Cassiopeia the upside-down jellyfish. The bane of my existence and lousy all over the keys. Cheers and all the best y'all! Love the channel.

After all of your solo passages, it is good to see you with pleasant looking, skilled crew.

The cape dory is sure in the groove on the approach to marathon. Great video

Hi Sam, Love your channel. I have followed you since your passage from Catalina Island to Hawaii. You are a sea monster. You are at your element when you are away from people and just seeing water non stop. Your content is just awesome. Thank you again.

Sam and Zoe, keep sailing for us it's nice that u share ur journeys.

very glad your videos aren't full of contrived "hey what's up guys" intros like every other channel, keep up the good work sailor!

Sam I really like your no nonsense approach to your videos. It's refreshing and suits your personality.

the best sailing channel, so good Sam, don't change

I see you've gotten good at catching your quadcopter :) Nice shots

The best background music is a sound of the wind rushing through the rigging

Awesome video! I love your underwater shots, gorgeous scenery and an awesome experience for the both of you! Looking forward to more!

Great video! Amazing how fast those barnacles grow in warm waters. Sail on son.

I've learned volumes following your channel. Thank you so much.

Hey Sam found your channel a couple months ago, love watching your videos and seeing what you are up to. You are the definition of free!

“It’s like sailing in a swimming pool “ Awesome!

Glad to see you have a first mate on board!

Watching your content always makes me happy. And what a neat girl Zoe is. Fair winds and following seas my friend!!

This is your best produced video. Grateful that you are willing to share your journey.

Great video. Glad you have company with you on your sails. Keep it up and thanks for taking us along.

Love the footage Love you on the bow With that Caribbean water!! just awesome slicing through the ocean

In a few of those shots it looked like Pickled Herring and the dinghy were hovering in mid air. Absolutely gorgeous stuff, Sam. Keep it up!

That no-spill gas can is great. I used one almost daily for two years to either fuel the dinghy or the generator when living at anchor. It's the only jerry jug that I would recommend as well.

Dry Tortugas is by far the best place for diving. The Goliath Groupers are amazing.

Thank You for the preview of my future. I also had a bouncy night at Looe Key on a mooring ball years ago.

Really Good Drone shots !! always learn something about sailing on your channel . Awesome , stay safe crew !!

Zoe is her name. Your videos are better since we can now see more of you thanks to Zoe. I feel better already.

Sam! Seriously?! Unless I missed it... I don’t remember a formal introduction to your new crew member 😘. I’m thinking the “Sam Holmes Sailing Community” deserves it.

Production quality is off the hook dude! :) the maps and forecasts make it really easy to understand what’s going on, thanks a lot! Been under that bridge a couple times and I’ve got the exact same flippers as your friend! xD

I've been a subscriber since your Hawaii crossing. Your video editing skills are starting to catch up with your sailing skills! Nice work, man.

Agreed on the paddle boarding, f that s.

SHSRSOA...... Sam homes sailing recommended seal of approval ! ! ! NICE I think I got it right

Those Key sunsets are what it’s all about! Nice work Sam!

Tranquility cove 👍

Great video. Those drone shots with the crystal clear water were awesome. And the snorkeling videos were great as well. Makes me wish I was young and adventurous again. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.

wow that lizard can jump and swim heck

Awesome trip and it looks like you two make a great crew!

a scraper is to scrap not bang on them sam top tip i wake boarded. and how we used to clean the hull was put the boat in neck deep water one hold it other clean. as it saved money getting the boat out.

A lovely drop of chillhop - best soundtrack so far Sam )

Yeah Dude! That was a great video!! I watched this video stoned and it took me to a great place. Thank you my man!

The quality of your videos has really improved. Keep it up, man!

Always look forward to your videos. First attracted to your journey on your trans-Pacific sail. Always cool and most always with a smile. My daughter in law works - now furloughed - for Disney Imagineering in Burbank. Asked her if she knew of you. Your videos are always low key. Fun to watch first thing in the morning as I have my first cup of coffee. Sometimes even before. Keep up the good work. Greatly appreciated by this land-locked follower.

Having this much fun should be illegal!!! I'm calling the coast guard!!! Great video Sam and Zoe. Great snorkeling footage in the video as well I am enjoying the ride. Keep up the good work!

lol'd at the random illegal hammock stop. looks like you guys are having a lot of fun. enjoying your videos!

I've got that no spill gas can as well. Works great!

Sam, I like your channel so much, that I cancelled my cable tv. Thank You.

Those little green dogs were not to friendly.

I use the canned gas four my small engines it's super stable and burns way better. Love all your videos. It's cool to see your adventures.

Great Video Sam and Zoe.. Now I know where to stay close in the Keys and get some snorkeling in when I'm down that way. Very Cool and informative. Keep Posting can't wait for your next Adventure!!

I use the same gas can and they do work well with no spills.

Wow! Super video Sam. We drove over that bridge a year and a half ago. The Keys are awesome but we really didn’t get to see a lot of pretty water like you’re seen. We were in a car not a boat! Your freedom to explore is enviable.

I would NOT be stoked to see a shark!

Zoes voice and the way she speaks is awesome. it sounds somehow stereotypical but there she is - being that friendly and sweet.

Hey Sam, A 1-2 lb lead sinker or window sash cord weight works well and 50ft ft of 1/4” braid or 3 strand works well with knots 3 ft or every fathom. I was lucky enough years ago to pick up a couple of lead depth finding weights with concave hollows in the bottom at Bacon Sails resale shop in Annapolis . Originally they used to put grease in them to test the bottom whether sand, mud, coral or rock whether clinging to it or not. Now some recommend peanut butter in the hollow to test. Fair winds from Virginia Beach.

Great one! Used to get of work and be on Looe Reef in 15 minutes.

Great video, Sam, and Zoey!

4:17, "Paddle boards are lame..." :-)

The dinghy always has a great view through the stern Sam...

I just bought a gas can that has that button too. Love it!

Water looks incredible!

Another great video man. Also been following since Hawaii like some others. You are getting great at editing with the music and all. Really living the life man. You keep making them and we'll keep enjoying them.

Fabulous video

I have the same 1 gal gas tank and I agree. They are awesome

Just playing awesome can’t wait till your next video great work

Spectacular camera shots, well done!

What a trip I have one of those big frisbees from the concerts in the '70s they don't sell them anymore and I've never seen any of them around beside the one I have and there's one in Zoe's hand wow

Sam, you have come a long way from San Pedro, Your sailing a larger yacht with a fine first mate Zoe, its all good!

Been watching you since your trip to Hawaii awesome Chanel always look forward to your new videos

Always looking forward to your next vid. Thanks for making these!

Nice vid, thanks guys 👍🏻👍🏻

It's crazy how far that goes..... Yep, something like 7 miles bro'

I was at Looe Key in Nov 2019, it's a really nice spot...we also saw a few black tips, and small barracudas. A very fun shallow snorkel with lots to see! Appreciate the videos...

you guys seem like the most easy going, people ive ever seen.. like your so calm and chill.. lol man what a great time i wish i could get out there

Sam! headed to the carolina's......do I smell and crossing to Bermuda?

Here sharky sharky! Great video Sam!

Is sucks we just missed you. We stayed in marathon the week of July 3rd. Would have loved to buy you guys a beer!!

Awesome- I like it

yes! more maps, i love it!

7 mile the is a lot of bull sharks there be safe swimming there man.

Hi bro jyst wanted to thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I don't get togo sailing in fact the last thing i sailed in was a tiny topper. Any way thanks again bro

Beautiful video, thanks Sam.

Damn I went there once, I'm from Michigan and jealous

Hanging with the man in the Grey Suit. 🤙 Nice shots

You should write a guide book. I would buy it.

I second the push button gas can ... I love mine

i have never heard of someone using the heave to method to drift just enough and switch the direction of the drift to arrive at a destination. Thats pretty awesome!!! ill have to keep that in my bag of tricks

First Hawaii, now the Keys, nice! I'm guessing you've headed north, out of hurricane alley... have fun!

Sam what’s that funky song at the end? Amazing to see the shadows of the boat and dinghy on the sea floor through the water. The funk suits it.

Woohoo, Sam and Zoe! You guys are great!

Love your videos, but if you would PLEASE buy a deadcat for your microphones! The wind noise makes it really hard on the ears.

Awesome videos. Your content quality is really good. I definitely enjoy watching your videos much more than some of the other sailing channels that I follow like sailing Zatara. Look forward to the next one.
