Corfu. Sailing in paradise

[@Sail-Ride-Walk-Repeat]

I'm like; "why would he leave Vasiliki? Its so beautiful!". Then ... " why would he leave that beautiful little cove?" And then "well Corfu looks very nice". Haha. Doing fine Sam.

[@bybeka1]

How wonderful the Mediterranean sea and cultures are! ❤

[@craigcasto7783]

Thanks Sam! I'm enjoying your vids! happy holidaze and safe travels!

[@tomloman3473]

I was on Corfu two times for a holllday and rented a small motor boat for a day and had the most beautiful day's at my life. So nice to anchor on beaches where only boats can come. I lived 12 years on the island Samos. and Corfu is for me the number two to live on in Greece

[@bradyoung6663]

If you're using blue Loctite and it isn't working, maybe you should try the red. A stainless bolt in direct sunlight for hours may get hot enough to undo the blue. If that doesn't work, try the green stuff(Loctite 604). From there, you could always use a longer bolt and add a jam nut, or drill the bolt and safety wire or pin it. Good luck not falling in the fastener rabbit hole.

[@robertgold2643]

Don’t know if they make Castle Nuts in stainless but they do a fine job with the steering arms on cars - proven reliability on moving parts that take a beating 🤙

[@beardedwoodsman9692]

If you have a long enough bolt , using a jamb nut would be a good fix.

[@Rosco-P.Coldchain]

Wow beautiful weather for December, the Greek islands would be exactly were I would head if I had a boat..English winter sucks 👍

[@mikeirwin8142]

Took me back to my day skipper's course last year. Anchored in the same spot beneath the castle prior to the night sail to Gouvia.

[@steved.9839]

I’m not a reader but was gifted the Corfu Trilogy a few years ago. It was a solid read and makes me want to visit the place before too long.

[@BabbittdaWabbitt]

Our man Sam fries the Spam in the pan whilst sailing in the Mediterrane- AN.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

I've been to Corfu. It was many years ago, I stepped on a sea urchin while I was there so I'll always remember it.

[@Backfromthestorm]

Me too. It hurt. And ruined my day, probably the urchins too.

[@ChukaCustoms]

Your drone footage had me dancing, Sammy!

[@thhaar62]

Thanks!

[@haydenbrant7919]

A great video by Sam Holmes yet again

[@rickharris5485]

The drone shots were cool. You had paradise all to yourself.

[@oatlion3924]

Nice drone shots, Nice video! Thanks for taking us aboard !

[@OneFineVol]

In the early 80’s I was in the USAF San Vito AS near Brindisi. Took many ferry rides to Corfu. Some of the best times of my life.

[@eddieseachord4985]

I always have a great time following your adventure. Thanks Sam

[@bruinsgoat]

Really enjoyed the music in the corfu episode.

[@FunsongsMusicByPeterRahill]

Segment & music beginning at 12:50 - "No matter where you go - there you are."

[@johnshakespeare3004]

Hope you enjoyed Vass - had some great windsurfing hols there! Bring on Erik!

[@BobSmith-yy7vr]

I recommend going to Pelekss if you’re still on Corfu. Great little village that used to have the best souvlaki place in Greece. Or at least it was there last time I was in Pelekas in 1996. I had some of the best times of my life there. Spent a couple months working at a bar cliff jumping at the beach near the village

[@simonpritchard6074]

Cool spaghetti western music!..Thanks Sam

[@samholmessailing]

My pleasure!

[@endolfdaise5168]

I went to Corfu back in the mid 90's early march to work on a US naval vessel that was in port there. I took my new bride and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It was before the tourist season began and there was hardly anyone there. We ate Lamb Chops for dinner for $8 each. Would love to go back.

[@jamesgordon2289]

That water was amazing. just so beautiful. great video Sam, thanks for sharing it

[@jamessandman3708]

It's funny, your short hair on your home page now looks so goofy it cracks me up! Pirates wear their hair long, argh! ⛵⛵⛵

[@loribadgero1035]

Beautiful anchorage. Wow!

[@p42uynot59]

The water there looks a beautiful blue.

[@BobSmith-yy7vr]

Another great Greek island is Amorgos. When I was there last time the ferry only came twice a week so it was a very quiet place

[@tonyhalsall3170]

Your first stopping point was Anti-Paxos I think? My ‘secret’ anchorage is just to port as you entered that bay. Incredible caves and (as you saw) crystal clear water.

[@vincentdsnt]

Hey Captain..........Thanks for your content !

[@robertbailey2342]

That ferry was loaded!! Wow

[@JimMack-g1d]

Sam, thank you. Truly a dream shared.

[@Yeaitstemp]

Had my boom fall off on my southern cross 28 heading to Florida offshore I tighten it a hundred times before

[@greencoastdesigns9492]

Great drone Music !!

[@StudioBeast7575]

Great video Sam.

[@lunis471]

😊wowza that was fabulous thanks and that drone over the water and sailboat just great thanks Sam.. Greetings form SW Scotland UK

[@PeterS-r4o]

Yes - that weather looked absolutely terrible . . .

[@DavidoftheDesert]

Good job with the music Sam. Takes us all away on another adventure............. DOD on location in Palm Springs

[@scomo532]

We were in Korfu in mid Oct. did’t see Pickle though, maybe you were there earlier. Nice place, noce people, coffee’s too expensive. Sail on Sam!

[@petercavanaugh6510]

Sam in your last (I think) video you mentioned you'd like to see real seas, by sailing in the Southern oceans. I just finished reading Sir Francis Chichester's Gipsy Moth Circles The World and he writes " I sailed out of the Forties that evening. To be candid I think anyone who sails a yacht in the Forties is a fool-but I knew that before I started". It's a great read!

[@masterblaster2626]

There's another KZbinr who sails the Mediterranean and Croatia area and the water is amazingly clear ... so beautiful.

[@timwebb8153]

Sam, can you drill a hole in the bolt for a cotter pin, and use a castle nut like on an outboard prop shaft? Just an idea.

[@landlockedsailor2191]

I was looking at the same moon when you were.

[@dentaltok]

Now will be know as “Spam Holmes Sailing” 😂👍🇨🇦

[@lweleven3423]

Very cool adventure , I hope one day I can do the same 🤙

[@JohnCornellier]

No one sails Paradise like Sam. From the vast sea of sailing KZbinrs, emerges a luminary, a lighthouse-like beacon of inspiration that captivates hearts and minds alike. Absolute legend.

[@rTgPaula]

i love Corfu :) i am visiting in September again . Greetings from Germany

[@SailingSarah]

It appears I've been presented the chance to acquire a 43 ft cutter rig.

[@feanor3876]

Spam and eggs, breakfast of champions. I alway felt Spam and eggs would have made a great Dr. Suess book title.

[@khyvich]

The bolt in the gooseneck, drill through the nut and bolt and stick in a cotter pin.

[@josephsage3524]

Excellent video.

[@Sibben92]

The cherping sounds like little bats, hunting for insects :)

[@PiGzJanskuL]

Oh wow! Isn't this the island with the legendary tree?? I've heard stories

[@postbustersfencing]

That sounds like the Tree of Hippocrates, on Kos. While backpacking in 1986, waiting for a ferry, I slept the night under it. I woke up to the sound of a zipper and yelled as a guy was about to piss on me by mistake. A close call.

[@CrustyBalls007]

wow, pickle must have a very shallow draft! i was surprised how close you got to the shore.

[@samholmessailing]

4ft draft

[@T25de]

2:00 can you add a double nut? There is always the flight assembly style using some locking wire too! Is that kosher for boats??

[@FitzGood]

Not a lot of sailing opportunities but If u ever make it up to Asheville you got beers on me the whole stay

[@SubTerraAlly]

Spam eggs and rice. Available at every McDonald's in Hawaii for breakfast.

[@findbluesky]

Did you put an anchor out from the stern when you tied the bow to the shore?

[@samholmessailing]

Yes

[@findbluesky]

👍

[@masterblaster2626]

Yeah, that water looks alittle better than that Titusville, FL, marina water. I'd like to think that part of sailing is taking in the natural beauty cuz you're going slower and its a "stop and smell the roses" kind of mentality. So, sailing in nasty water would seem to really take away from the experience. Nasty water might not be a consideration when you're blasting down the river at 60 mph.

[@cemegonuts]

love this stuff... but i like Sam's homemade program music better than this flashy commercial sounding stuff. i like mostly when he sings what he sees, i.e., "this is a cool stair case... look at the size of this whateverrrrrrrr..." :🤣🤣

[@aaronswatches]

Funny I’m sad for when you don’t make videos anymore 😢

[@neocommenter]

That chirping was unsettling.

[@frankdillon6127]

Sam are you using stainless Nyloc nuts? if so Nyloc nuts usually good for 2 0r 3 removals before they loose their tightness.

[@redwood1957]

Sam do you have a you tube on your solar, battery,hotwater systems. Thanks

[@pscileppi]

Have you tried adding a second nut and tightening them against each other?

[@therealslamshaky]

i think the chirping noises are probably bats

[@BenBike]

I agree it sounds like bats to me, once I woke up with one flying around my bedroom 💀 sounded just like that

[@Jj-ff9vq]

The strait between Paxos/Corfu is always lumpy

[@coconutfleetsleeper5717]

The chirping sounds very similar to the bats in my area...

[@MrMikkelsby]

😊

[@Uncle_Antnee]

Hey Sam, I was wondering what is a good sailing speed? Also what's the fastest you've gone in the pickled herring?

[@samholmessailing]

Anything above 3,8 and I’m happy in this boat.

[@Uncle_Antnee]

@@samholmessailing awesome i always hear you talk about the speed and I'm never sure what's good so that's good to know. anyways keep up the awesome work, I'm loving the videos

[@jasonschultz637]

What navigation software is that? It looks easier than the one I’ve been using.

[@markbennett9787]

I’m sure your new set of sails will prove excellent for heavy weather and ocean sailing but do you find them to have been made of a material a bit too heavy for the light Mediterranean winds that you seem to be experiencing a lot of the time ?

[@deepdivedelight]

Sweeet!

[@jeffmercier1974]

Lock washer ✌️

[@ReviewByGeorge]

Where can I get that drone?

[@MichaelHolloway]

waves hitting the cliffs?

[@MedicDillahunty]

Those were bats making that high pitch noise

[@FunsongsMusicByPeterRahill]

870th LIKE, 7, 115th tag-along view...

[@dherman0001]

Can you set yhe autopilot so the correctional steering is less frequent?

[@robertaungpe8125]

Excess vibration - effect of motor mount degradation?

[@jimgemelas4147]

Hello! Who did you rent the sailboat from and at what cost?

[@samholmessailing]

Craigslist $9000

[@dentside78]

Lol

[@SCARFACE69247]

You should spend some time learning to catch, clean, and cook fish while you're on the ocean. Spam and ramen noodles might be fine, but you have free food right under your feet. And a lot of free time that could be used casting a line. Make that one arm Real strong! You can become a arm wrestling champ when you get back. 😂

[@danielpowers5946]

Incredible drone footage Sam🤙 much love from the USA aboard SV Lady Penguin. And praise God for His incredible creation! "The heavens declare the glory of God, the universe shows His handiwork"

[@SailingSarah]

Thank you Jesus, Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: For praise is comely for the upright. ❤

[@jackgalloway8314]

Nicer.

[@duncanmcdowall]

noise is bats man!

[@DZNTS123]

High pitched chirp sounded like bats to me.

[@ccstot33]

🦇

[@bryanbsa8927]

I thought you'd be back with your girl by now. : )

[@mathewwilson5719]

Drill a hole threw the bolt, and nut. Then use stainless steel tie wire through both the nut, and bolt. Problem solved…

[@uranomichiaruki1]

Chirping sounded like bats

[@caractacus22]

Ithaca no paxos

[@gurunathchoughule5828]

Sam sailling boats name and ais run ok I'm live check india.

[@Freetalkfm]

Out of the heads. Yours sails flap a little too much to keep the nut from fracturing the lock tight.

[@mgevirtz]

I hear bats

[@TrackMeet-t9y]

It's good to not care.Haircut if it looks better you know ?

[@drwebstercivet5540]

Don't show too much that Greece is beautiful. There are already too many tourist there.

[@emilybh6255]

After all your digestive tract issues, I'd think you'd have switched over, long before now, to mostly eating easier to digest raw fruit and raw fruit-like veggies with seeds (i.e. cucumbers and squash).

[@Rockabuy2002]

Too many ads! Usually 2 at a time. Not sure who decides ad structure but I am tiring of it.

[@garrickmartin7707]

Sam. I love your visuals, but I only catch a fraction of what you say. You're a classic mumbler. The audio is important as well don't ya know.

[@dooleyfussle8634]

One of the advantages of going deaf is a hearing aid with Bluetooth. I have him right in my head, with stereo. Never miss a word, although the background noises are occasionally annoying!

[@chrisballUKtoNZ]

Please buy new sunglasses. They are so wonky
