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

[@corporalclegg914]

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

[@basicinfoplaybook]

lol - this comment didnt age well. *see today's video.

[@Chupacabraj897]

🤣

[@Ash-cy7yw]

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...

[@mammaholmes]

Fantastic, Son! Thank you, Lia, for letting Sam come along!

[@SailingFrolic]

Thank you for making him his freeze dried foods. They look amazing. I'm a little jealous

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Hi Ann, you’ve raised one incredible son! You must be an incredible mom! Thank you so much for bringing Sam into this world 🗺.

[@corporalclegg914]

I imagine that you love seeing Sam’s uploads. like every Mom, I bet you look to see that he’s warm & safe, eating well & in the company of nice folks…Typically Nobel

[@Brucev7]

Fun Sailing Video to Watch God bless

[@davidc6510]

Even on a friends boat we see boat projects completed Sam Holmes Sailing style which is awesome. Great opportunity and a special shout out to the captain of the Lia for inviting him along. That Oyster 48 sure is a pretty boat. Another great update and thanks for sharing!

[@markgamble7699]

Beautiful people, beautiful boat and a beautiful short tour on video… Just can’t beat it… Thank you all for sharing with the world…

[@LITTLEEXPERIMENTCHANNEL1]

Like motorcycle enthusiasts, meeting someone who relates to boat life and sharing the knowledge is symbiotic.

[@evonnesheim1434]

What an adventure! Beautiful scenery & great photography!! I felt like I was there! Thanks for such a grand show!

[@naturescritter4691]

Beautiful scenery! Thank you for taking us on your adventures

[@Ifitallfails]

Gorgeous boat and the views are priceless. Great share!

[@perpetualgrin5804]

30 years ago I sailed on the MV Norsel from Tromso to Svalbad return. A great experience. Camped rough for 18 days. My diary tells me all. Greeting from Australia 🇦🇺

[@chriswhilsmith407]

Really enjoyed the video! Cool to see you on some different boat, but I didn’t see you drilling any holes.

[@AdventureNow]

Nice one Sam! Loved that video. Thanks for the shout out. See you in a few minutes for dinner onboard Lia!!!!! We are bringing cake! 😃😃😃

[@lifelong5425]

Sam...that was very special..Could see how much it meant to you also...what a brilliant boat that is, and a lifestyle that will never be lived by many....

[@Jbmc65]

Man has a beautiful boat

[@WRLAustralia]

What a fantastic opportunity. The scenery was spectacular. Great video.

[@johnbee7729]

I spent 10 years living and working in Canada's western Arctic. This video brought back many memories of those days, tho your experiences were so very different to mine. Enjoy the sun!!

[@KwilliamsFLA]

that boat is the bomb!!!!

[@FatherTech]

Man that looks like a beautiful boat. Can we get a tour? Great adventure, thanks for taking us along!

[@vsGoliath96]

What a gorgeous boat! Apparently Oyster only build 19 Lightwave 48's and their new vessels run well into the millions of dollars. They build some luxury shit.

[@LiaSailing]

Lia is hull number 15 of those 19 😃

[@v3xerAVA]

9:41 proof the earth is round

[@DCMO60]

Looking forward to more of this trip. How incredible

[@eddieseachord4985]

Super fun! Thank you a whole lot. What an adventure. 🙏🥰

[@TacticalSystem]

That sailing on a small water planet shot was awesome

[@SailingFrolic]

I thought the same thing. 360 cams are awesome.

[@speedybeagle]

Thanks Sam!!! You're the best. Can't wait for the next one!

[@AXISMEDIATV]

Amazing Sam! I'll be keeping it safe here in long beach CA. Thanks for taking us along

[@davidvaughan3771]

Hopefully a friend for life for you Sam, gotta love the Irish

[@SailingFrolic]

Love the video, Sam! Definitely nice to see you change it up a bit and see some scenery with friends. They look like great people! Hope to meet you out on the water someday, came pretty close when you were in Florida. Much love, keep doing your thing!

[@bowdezaufa2609]

Voyage for madmen is an incredible book.

[@JuPac420]

My favorite sailing channel *BY FAR*

[@tasesq]

That’s a ship Sam!

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!)

[@sutekin]

A great video Sam, thank you for taking us all up there

[@phiberoptick]

I have a formal request Sam, more b-roll footage. You go to all of these amazing places and would love to see more!

[@presspound7358]

That invitation to sail the northern latitudes was rare and amazing not to mention its worth 💰 …. great video… clean and crisp like the air and waters. Cheers 🥂 🇨🇦

[@vikimoody8783]

Awesome adventure! Lovin the smile on yr face. This life your livin fits you well.

[@j.roberthard7146]

Great adventure there Sam. The scenery and yacht were something. Look forward to your next post. Be safe.

[@stuartbarclay129]

The beauty of life on the road/sea - you just never know what amazing opportunity will present itself :)

[@larsjohannesson398]

Wow, trip of a lifetime. Neat little cameo appearance of Mark & Asha at the beginning.

[@RichardC313]

Awesome man, you've gained some stories and experiences that most nowadays will never have. I'd love to travel to svalbard one day, never even thought of sailing like you did, awesome man!

[@Mahatma618]

Very nice video as usual.Looking forward to next installment :)

[@jamesgordon2289]

this is amazing . i love this video, thanks Sam

[@am2schmarvelous]

Wow. What an amazing adventure.

[@humdinger7275]

Excellent video

[@mytreasurechess]

This is so exciting. Hyperborea. North Pole. Sea birds. ( nice haircut too )

[@thenomadtrader1142]

Sam, if you pause the video at 9:44, that would be a really neat profile picture for your KZbin channel. If you make it to Florida anytime soon I'll grab ya some dinner & some beers, keep up the great content!

[@michaelosmon]

Seriously

[@jamessandman3708]

Awesome!!! Thanks Sam!! ................⛵⛵⛵

[@paulsccna2964]

Great content and always enjoy coming along for the ride.

[@CrkdLtrN]

"King of the world" vibes with that 3D camera shot! Looks like a great trip!

[@garysharpe4660]

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing.😊😊😊

[@fespa]

Loved the "Little Sailing Price" shot. Great vid.

[@cjg6364]

Hopefully someone tipped Ed off ahead of time to give him a chance to hide anything on the boat that drills holes....

[@randyklein1336]

Awesome video! Jealous of your adventures. Have fun and stay safe.

[@okcantbelieveit294]

What an opportunity!

[@VirtanenDK]

Never seen Sam smile so much, as when he was doing 12 kn, to funny 😁

[@Plombo_5]

Simply stunning

[@davidsmeglap4023]

When the video started, I was sure Sam was going to drill some holes in the boat. No such luck.

[@peterrahill9263]

LIKE posted at 5:15 - great sound effects! Hope it tasted as good as it sounded. There's a fun Irish Trad tune we play sometimes: Beare Island, for what that's worth. Thanks for sharing these adventures - awesome scenery. 9:43 - WOW - talk about being on top of the world - and there you are. Are you allowed to tie up to the pole of the North when you see it?

[@davewoods8539]

Wow, thanks .

[@wellsgb1957]

Well done people,living the dream 👍🏻👍🏻

[@tihspidtherekciltilc5469]

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.

[@joshstevens6678]

Get back out on the water. Much better when you are at the helm.

[@AB-kg6rk]

Thanks again Sam!

[@jeffscherer1078]

Great video, thank you!

[@cowsjohnson2306]

[@Useless_Knowledge07]

On top of the world literally!

[@bigj3086]

Wow. Dream trip!

[@Useless_Knowledge07]

This is going to be Awesome!

[@larrycater-tx613]

Great adventure.

[@jodyssey9921]

Bear Island?!?!?! I would absolutely have to stop there. Saw the movie by the same name as a kid, how could I not stop there?

[@2singingsquadronofficial567]

Nice video! Thanks Sam!

[@marciiisworld]

So epic!!! Love the videos!

[@richardmoore4194]

[@2disbetter]

What an opportunity! So awesome of them to let you tag along. True bucket list stuff there. Seriously excellent!

[@vernoneasterday9838]

Mighty cool Sam!

[@markthomasson5077]

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.

[@ryanjankowski9069]

Great video Sam!!

[@Velo1010]

Gray footage. Can’t wait for your next post.

[@tonywrobleski5185]

Thank you
