Discovering Hidden Sea Caves. Sailing the Algarve Coast. We caught so many fish!

[@allanswayze2523]

Two funny things: I am the guy who gave you Lingdonberry. #1 I actually originally got that little fellow because I figured it would be perfect for slinking around the sea caves up on Lake Superior. It has been into and out of "sea" caves all up through that area with great results. It's a perfect fit! #2 My wife and I happened to be in Porto last month, just a last minute trip to get away from work for the weekend. We were on Titan beach and I saw you sailing in. I though, huh, that's the same boat Sam has... and thought no more of it till I saw your last vid... Small world.

[@samholmessailing]

Thats crazy we were both in Porto! Getting loads of use out of the dinghy still. Its the perfect size and has been everywhere with me.

[@Rodrifuuu]

@@samholmessailing Can't you just pull it onto the deck instead of dragging it when inflated? Seems light enough.

[@SasquachPL]

I hope you killed those fish and didn't just leave them to suffocate?

[@tommac9578]

A pair of Easy Sea winch handles on sale today are $502, and change. It is nice you received them as an advertisement gift. Even more you acknowledged them as a gift. You are more honorable than some of the other utubers who instantly show the merchandise, but say nothing. Thank you for being forthcoming! Good luck with the new equipment.

[@MartinErikLagus]

Mate, dont treat fish like that, putting them alive in a bag! Thats torture. You eather kill it right away by breaking the neck (thumb in mouth and break neck backwsrds or knife from top right in to head) or you toss it back to the ocean. That not nice and you two need to learn respect what the ocean gives. Love you movies but you two did very wrong there.

[@tonychorley4936]

Thank you so much for pointing this ot, I was horrified at his cadual cruelty.

Smooth ending. Always enjoy your videos. But don’t let the fish suffer.

Loved the sunset scene; you kept me suspended, anticipating the drone shots, then nearly dropped me off the cliff. I literally jumped back in my chair! Portugal is beautiful. Thanks for this.

[@chriskelly6559]

That look over the cliff scared my nads. I literally flinched.

[@roberth7894]

Always a pleasure sailing along with you here. Glad u didn't have to deal w/ any angry orcas biting off your rudder!

[@adamaxe1]

great video

[@Rodrifuuu]

10 seconds into trying the winch handle he immediately found a design flaw / potential improvement. When you don't have real sailors try your equipment before you send to production this is what happens.

[@MarcelLENORMAND]

Agreed. Some sort of détente so that the handle wants to stay in position would be good - rather than being a floppy linkage.

[@dm1126]

[@brownnoise357]

There’s some good information on Morocco on theCruisers Forum, including that Anchoring is not permitted in Morocco, and the Coast is closely monitored by the Military. Info is a bit out of date in the posts I saw from 2010, but Melilla sounds nice and ok pricing, cheaper than Gib, but for a few Marinas there isn’t or wasn’t a charge, but not the sort of places to leave your boat unattended. A few back and forths from Gib should get you well up to speed with where to go, for refreshing EU Visa. Hope that helps give you a starting point anyway. Bob. 👍

[@brownnoise357]

Sam Gibraltar is a great place to Stopover, but make sure you can show you have checked out of EU Shengen, area before you arrive, as with trips to Morocco, you can refresh the 90 days for visiting Shengen. There’s Duty Free Fuel etc, plus a Morrisons Supermarket to Provision with. But heck with Gib when you check in what the present situation for Shengen is, as it can change. Fuel may actually be cheaper in Morocco though, so you might find out from other Boaters in Gib. Could be cheaper for a Marina in Morocco too. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🌟🌟🌟

Fantastic video, Sam. Beautiful part of the planet. I spent a couple of months in Portugal (Portimao) and Madeira. Be well and stay safe. 🙏 Puck.

You should prepare an offering to the orca boss for when you infringe upon his territory

[@donrichter9859]

After what you did to those fish, the Orcas will be waiting for you for sure.

[@dp5383]

Ends on a cliffhanger!

[@svintheanajones88]

You are one of the more inventive sailors out there. With that said, have you ever considered using a kite for downwind sailing? I see very large yachts and even container ships are using them to reduce fuel cost by aiding in movement. I figure a sailboat would be a perfect boat for this type of experiment.

[@samholmessailing]

I think the sails do the same thing

[@meathead585]

On a vessel it's called a LINE, not a rope ! There is only one rule beginner sailors need to know: A sailing vessel cannot sail directly into the wind.

[@R_Kyllonen]

Great video !! Nice catch of fish !!

[@tonychorley4936]

Shocking treatment of fish once caught

[@polderfischer8565]

No time to kill that fish correctly???

[@skyearthocean5815]

I suppose a trip to Morocco would be a way to re-set the Schengen visa right? That is a really cool place! I bet the snorkeling is great there as well!

[@samholmessailing]

Id have to stay for 3months though so I’ve found another way to extend it.

[@jessejamison3994]

For battery monitoring. Do you have to install a shunt? Which system do you have?

[@tamar5261]

I think they are trying to reinvent the wheel with those winch handles

[@samholmessailing]

Yeah it seemed like a neat idea at first but after trying to sail with them they’re pretty useless.

Got a few little chuckles there; thanks for the comic relief. Thanks for sharing and taking this old guy along for the ride & adventure. Cool scenery all around.

[@hglbrg]

It's not about the size of the spinnaker or the length of the pole, Sam. Don't worry! :D

[@adamaves5563]

Think you should start catching fish and cooking them on the boat would be good to see 👌

Orcas. I saw a video last week about how a yacht pilot avoided them where you are by staying around 20 meters of depth. Orcas have been attacking in deeper water, which makes sense. Stay safe

[@birdinthebush]

To fry smallish fish or fillets: scrape the scales off, gut them, etc. Then put them in a plastic bag, with two or three table spoons of flour, now give the bag a good shake. The fish will be caked in flour and ready for the frying pan. Crispy in the outside, moist inside. Mmmmmm!

[@tonychorley4936]

Perhaps explain to Sam first of all that leaving fish to suffocate is just disgusting.

Because I was filming with my phone. Maybe if i use my 360 camera

[@hugosvenstedt]

Bro you cant put alive fish in a bag. Knock them dead before at least.

[@Seafariireland]

The fish you caught with the green/bluey stripes are Mackeral and are caught all along the coasts of Europe and they are very tasty fresh fried up with some cereal and then some lemon juice, yum yum! It’s a much calmer death putting the fish in the bag where they easily loose consciousness and die rather than knocking them on the back of the head or cutting their throats with blood everywhere! Lovely shots of you under your glider, are you using the spinnaker as the wing? Ps., have you tried pulling the boat with one of those kite things controlled by cables? SlipRay, Kerry the Kingdom!

[@LetMeRaveTV]

When you put sails out like the spinnaker or the preventer, it would be awesome if you explained exactly what they do before you explain why you put those up or adjust them. Just for those of us land dwellers that never touched a boat :)
