Doing stuff in Lahaina

I get a slip in Lahaina and tackle a couple boat repairs. I also try surfing and lose some camera gear.

After watching this video, I can see that you have a great soul and you are a good person.

[@LightTheBeam2024]

So I binge watched your journey to Hawaii, dude you have balls of steel to sail that boat all that way! Very entertaining series, keep them coming

[@calvinburnes1135]

hi sam, thanks for sharing your adventures with us. you are really living your life and sharing your experiences with some of us who are sitting on our couches watching your experiences. you make me want to live my life more on the edge, thanks for helping me with that. love how you keep smiling even when it seems like the cards are stacked against you. when you have a chance tell us how we can send you some money so you can buy yourself a proper warm and deliciously prepared meal and perhaps a few other small comforts that you are no doubt going without. true that too many comforts can make us lazy but i am pretty sure an occasional indulgence can be appreciated by someone in your situation. please keep living your life in such a beautiful way but also balance that with being careful and safe because we want you to stay alive so you can continue to share your love for life with the rest of us. keep up the good work.

[@SheaGunther]

Congrats on catching the KZbin algorithm! Best of luck. Great videos.

[@ali_g79]

I found your solo sailing video in my feed and have huge respect! Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@ckeilah]

All this is char and ash now. 🔥 Lucky to have seen it at its best. 😁

[@stevelawrie9115]

Looks like you're having a pretty good time. Yeah, the lights need a bit of a refresh. Don't let the hard noses bother you, that's their life.

[@dennis-qu7bs]

You're amazing, Sam. ☺

[@gpk7683]

Sam you are teaching us so many things. That loosing expensive toys is not the end of the world; just keep following your videos (dreams). Please keep going

[@jbronson75]

I'm enjoying all of your videos.

[@AJLindvall]

Never had a clue I wanted to sail solo to Hawaii until now, thanks for that. Looking forward to following your sailing adventures.

So sad about Lahaina fires🙏🏻😥 we had our honeymoon there. (Wow seems like a lot of Karens in Hawaii)

This is seriously so cool dude

[@dustinhatch4658]

Man, you’re a lot more patient than I am... I’d be fighting everybody out there 🤦🏻‍♂️ Especially dingy-boy in that Jurassic Park cove you tried sailing into a few videos back

[@LAPGOCHINSTRUCTOR]

Don't forget to repair the chrome/stainless steel pipes that broke

[@ContrastNY]

Great videos Sam!

[@squidwarf]

So sick to watch this I was just there a month ago and watching you go to the outlets of Maui and front street was so cool to see again

[@slit4659]

Do forget to Visit the Banyon Tree in the Park...So Exciting.

[@skippyone2769]

Subscribed! Looking forward to the next update. Tip: try and end your vids with a summary of what's happened and a trailer for what's to come ... 😀

[@dscott333]

Lol... you did better at sea!!. All you've lost happened while on land!!.. Perhaps it's a sign to get back to sea.. Your next boat? I have a 23 foot Olympic Dolphin.. I was just boat shopping and came across a Ted Brewer designed 27 blue water boat..only $4500.00!!! But... always a but.. Its engine was missing parts.. a faryman engine.. hard to find parts. Anyway.. the 27 seemed like a mansion compared to a 23.. 4 feet makes a huge difference..

[@cygnus1179]

Great videos. I'm going to have to look into a folding bike!

[@guddbye]

Doing really good stuff here. Not to sound like one of those guys, but it's actually inspiring. Good luck out there!

[@johnlysic6727]

Ouch! Bummer about the GoPro & spark drone.... I am looking forward to more cool video. It would be pretty neat if someone with a drone could get some video of you sailing along somewhere out there in Hawaii. I have seen a few Hawaii videos where people mention “poke”, it seems popular there? Is that a rice bowl with pork?

[@SCrcSd]

John Lysic its a bowl with tuna

[@RobZavalaPhotography]

I love you! Nice video.

[@jwyzdm]

Just watched the solo sail video and had to go to your page. Watched the unicycle 3 video and realized you really do have balls of steal, OUCH! And then had to laugh when the broken arm appeared, sorry I know it must have hurt but just thought it was funny. Good luck on your adventures and try not to break any more bones.

[@hinz1]

Give that drone a bath in destilled/deionized water and rinse it well afterwards. Water alone doesn't kill electronics, it's the salt that does the electrolytic corrosion which kills it.

[@robertottwell605]

When you get over to Oahu, head to Kaneohe bay.

[@blond339]

dive around the reef under the surf spot you'll prob. find a gopro and a phone.. etc.

[@drewbert83]

What all do you get with that slip? Showers? Electricity? I'm picturing it kind of like a camp ground, but it can't be for that low price.

[@CaptainHelias]

new channel in my list

[@Daza239]

Hi just found your channel can you give us more information about electric out board and batteries thanks. Ow yea and good work.

[@denisehicks7525]

Maui demands. Having lived there the cost of enjoying its wonders is seems is a high cost indeed. Kenike

[@SOLDOZER]

I used to surf that spot for years back in early 2000s. Most of those people are from the surf schools. Yuo have to go in the evening when they're gone and do a sunset surf.

[@barbarianlife]

Don't worry about angry people. Just act bored and they get bored of being angry. It's like magic.

[@FontainBordeaux]

After the silicone was removed where the lights were mounted the fastening holes look like a couple of surprised Coca Cola polar bears.

[@mikevanwoerkom]

If you make it to Oahu KYC has a fun race every Thursday evening.

[@williamtravis9283]

Aloha enjoyed the video!

[@schmidfarms1702]

Nice!

[@916wilton]

Is there a cost associated with tempory mooring? How's the food situation in Lahaina? Is there good grocery options or cheap eats in the area?

[@jordanward9072]

Sam, love watching your vids and wish they were longer. What are your plans? Wish I were sailing with you.

[@SOLDOZER]

@@samholmessailing Make you you sail along the Napali coast on the north side of Kauai. Water will be rough but views will be worth it.

[@MauiBran]

Get some Ululanis Shave Ice it’s the best!!!

[@rdmanone]

I'm sure the surfing went good for ya I've seen you balance on a little slack line. Kinda sucks running into angry people also. Your in Hawaii everyone should be happy.

Putting your electronic devices into a bag of rice will attract nearby Asians to fix it for you 🤣😂😅

[@brocklanders6172]

Why would you not back into your slip? Much easier ingress and egress and the anchor's on your bow anyway. I think that's what freaked out your neighbor.

Instead of placing tape and filling the holes you could have simply stuck a piece of GRP, plastic or wooden shaped piece on top of the hull covering all the holes in one go

A combination of decades of welfare (there are more people on welfare than working) and taking advantage of tourists is what leads to the resentment shown by the jerks in Hawaii.
