After one more stop in the keys I sail back to Fort Myers Beach. Along the way I scrape my mast under a bridge and encounter the worst red tide in years.

Sam- 24 year old viewer here- I got interested in sailing because of your videos- on Sunday I am hopefully buying my first sailboat and hoping to live your life one day. Thank you!

@Kernfederate Год назад

Good luck, man!

@sombersloth7010 Год назад

Try finding someone with experience so that you can learn the ropes. Good luck and respect the sea.

@kylefng Год назад

Always remember it’s going to get worse before it gets worse lol. Rough seas make a good sailor. Don’t quit and come from failures with wisdom and experience, not defeat. I’ve been sailing for 25 years and learn something new every season. Fair winds and following seas.

@samholmessailing Год назад

Best of luck!

Best sailing channel

@ThisAintIt435 Год назад

This is truly the craziest sailing channel, just insane adventures behind Sam's endless smiles and positivity. Truly the Mr. Beast of sailing. Should have more views. Stay safe out there.

@michaelodonnell8209 Год назад

I did slowly become addicted to your channel, and as a formally trained welder, mechanic, and cabinetmaker, I did cringe at some of your repairs. Somehow, the Lord has always blessed you on those vast expanses of the oceans, and it is because you merit that kind of love. I hold the deepest respect for a shoestring sailor, which is what you are. You are not one in a million. You are one in ten million. You make do with what you have at hand, just like the Tahitians, and read the waves. You are such an interesting man. You took the other path, though for that passing there, had worn them really about the same. And that has made all the difference.

@Kit2Canada Год назад

Just a quick FYI on anyone unfamiliar with the clearance under a bridge. The chart (i.e. a sailor’s map) always notes the high-water clearance under a “span”- at low tide you’ll obviously have more). Navionics notes this as well Vertical Clearance 40ft.

We sail the Columbia River. Up here we have a saying, there are 2 types of sailors, those who have run aground and those who just bought their boat. Looks like the gulf can be the same. Actually I was raised in Fort Walton Beach, going up the sound can be the same way. I learned to prefer retractabe keels very young in life. Great video Sam.

@SunshineSailing84 Год назад

True. And the same goes for kissing bridges with your vhf antenna

@chasingsunsets380 Год назад

@mistermoonJB Год назад

We sailed south from St. Pete to Key Largo a few days after you. The red tide was brutal until we got to Ft Meyers. We went south under the Sanibel Bridge about 200 am Monday morning, as best as I can tell not that many hours before you came in the other direction. Even at night, you could tell there were so many dead fish by the terrible smell. That and we could feel them bouncing off the amas of our little Hobie trimaran. The next night we had the best sail in a long time in NW 15-18 knots between Chokoloskee and Cape Sable under a full moon. Long 10 knot surfs were not uncommon.

Broad reach autopilot issue might be sail stalled & unstalled. It's like a moment switch, moment/no moment, electrical "magnetic" autopilots have no algorithm. Relative wind autopilots will keep the sails on one side of the moment switch.
