I didn’t think anyone could beat Sam, but then we met Zoey! She’s precious! Smiles through it all. Love this channel 🖐

[@wkylehamilton]

She's legit a lot of fun, hope to see more of her down the road!

[@mmccartney6579]

@@wkylehamilton I hear church bells. :)

[@NotaFlea]

Zoey is a keeper. Sam you listening. Reminds me of why at 64 I am still with my wife. We are about the adventure, not the destination, plans change all the time. Let's just enjoy the journey. As I watched Zoey rate the food, I fell in love with my wife again. I remember opening a 30 dollar bo/le of wine and a can of dinty Moore Chile. We laugh all the time about memories like that. Thanks Sam and Zoey.

Sam, you are one amazing fellow! Your zest for life’s adventures keeps us interested in what will happen next!

I love your videos but leaving your boat and stuff behind for someone else to clean up is terrible. Hopefully I am missing the part where you made arrangements to ensure your stuff was properly disposed of.

[@adderleybermuda]

@@AB-kg6rk he chose to sail to the Bahamas. Explain how he had no choice? If he didn't have the funds or ability to sort his boat, he shouldn't have sailed there.

[@YouknowmeOUdo]

Love your channel Sam and am very surprised and disappointed you left the boat and gear on the beach. Would be nice if you already had someone to pick up the boat and gear otherwise it will just become more garbage that the locals have to deal with I find that pretty irresponsible.😪

[@ts4366]

Hi Sam. I’ve been watching, learning and enjoying your adventures for a while. Sorry this trip didn’t go completely as planned, but I’m really shocked that you have abandoned your belongings and boat on a remote beach. Please tell me that you made some arrangements to get it cleared!? It appears you hadn’t when posting this. As someone who is lucky enough to live beside a beach myself I become incensed at inconsiderate visitors who leave stuff they can’t be bother to take away for others to clear up. Raise your game. This is not ok.

[@travisstowell7800]

[@yentlc.wiersma6108]

Zoëy surely is an asset to your wonderful adventures. You see her shiver because of the cold and smile enthusiastically. I wouldn’t dare to forget her bringing along on your adventures with Pickled Herring. Love seeing your videos all day!

She is a little off to go with him lol

[@turbomunch]

Did realise you were best friends 🤡

[@mtadams2009]

I like Sam and think he is generally a nice person but this trip was completely unacceptable. He is lucky he did not kill the two of them at worst and need the coast guard at best. Taking a 16 foot Hobbie in poor condition and overloaded was not cool. They only made it because of luck not skill. I hope Sam learned a valuable lesson. Then he leaves all his crap on the beach and leaves. What’s up with that?

[@fredread9216]

Pretty amazing. I have made that trip many times but not in a Hobbie 16! Wow, and you averaged nearly seven knots!! I wouldn’t go off shore without a way to pump the hulls out while at sea. Good luck in Sweden. And Zoey, good on ya mate! Your as crazy as Sam!

[@willardsmith8016]

sam thanks for the boat and all the great stuff !!!

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

Were you able to go down and get it and how long after he left it did you make it to the boat? I was wondering because I'd imagine had the locals found it they might have claimed it there because it would have appeared to them as if it had been abandoned, as it kind of was. Hope you're enjoying it just be careful on it as I'm sure you know there's not a lot of room for error if you miss your target destination on that small platform...

[@GulfCoastTim]

Great video.👍 She's always smiling just like you.

[@ronlokk]

The few videos that I have seen by Sam, have been pretty much like a Navy Seals special ops training film. Sailing too and around the Bahamas with one rudder is like going cross country skiing in the Alaskan wilderness with only one ski. As always... May the force be with you.

[@corporalclegg914]

28:48 - don't be sad, girl...you're still in the Spring Time of your life's adventures. my wife often cries when we head home from our trips, so I get it & make sure that there's another adventure around the corner (though, she's a much better & frequent planner than I)

[@suel3804]

Hey Sam. What if no one wants the Hobie or they do not want Zoe's clothes or duvet left in a box. Whats your plans? Go back pick up your stuff? Could you please let the channel know? If not maybe someone could inform the Bahamas tourist board.Thanks

[@thinkcasting3182]

All that stuff will be stolen within a week. You don't know anything about the Bahamas and it's large illegal Haitian population. Sam did the right thing. Make the stuff look like it's in use by tourists and it's guaranteed to be stolen.

[@noahbirdrevolution]

Super fun edit! May the force be with you!

[@tlo1216]

Ah I really really hope we see some arrangements made to take care of this litter left behind

What is great about this video, is that someone else did what you always wanted to do, but now you can watch and see what happens. Thank you for the video. (there are sailing groups that do this trip, going as a group, saves you a lot of stress & mistakes.....ah, but not the life on edge, as this video)

[@kevinsmith5448]

anybody else bothered that they just dumped their crap on a beach in the bahamas? the next storm is going to wash all that plastic trash right out to sea.

[@ts4366]

Yes. Very. I lost a huge amount of respect for Sam after seeing this. This smacks of self entitlement and privilege.

[@suel3804]

I am also bothered by this. It is called fly tipping in the Uk

[@AB-kg6rk]

Stop hating on Sam! He had no choice.

[@ts4366]

@@AB-kg6rk 🤡 BS! …. just like the people who bought disposable bbqs and cans to my local breach last night “had no choice” but to leave them behind. Im sure the BBQ was too hot too carry, and maybe they couldn’t find all of their empty cans and plastic bags in the dark. Maybe they thought that someone else could use it. I cleared it up this morning. It was their stuff and was their problem to remove. It’s self entitled anti social behaviour. Abandoning his boat boat and plastic tubs full of low value sh*t was not OK. Yes someone probably took away some of it. The rest probably gets washed out to sea. It was Sam’s responsibility to remove it all. It was a D move.

I have to wonder what the locals think about having a Hobie Kat just left on the beach? I enjoy your adventures but that one thought kept bugging me at the end of this one. Yes it is a semi functional boat with some gear left behind I just couldn't shake that thought...

[@ts4366]

Agreed this was an arrogant and contemptible thing to do. No excuses for this. You brought it there…take responsibility for taking it away.

[@andrewharvey2161]

Sadly I agree. I love to see these videos but Sam… you dumped a half broken boat on a beach. I watched the video days ago and still playing on my mind. Bad form Sam

[@Osobailaconolas]

I agree. Cruisers should leave no trace behind. This is just another piece of plastic basically thrown into the ocean. I would like Sam to post about a resolution for this boat. Lost a lot of respect for him on this one!

[@hyperflys]

@@ts4366 The whole trip was irresponsible. They are relying on the fact that the US coast guard will come and save them in a moments notice. The boat could have easily capsized.

I too was confused about the seemingly sudden abandonment of the boat and gear. I went back and listened to him and he says they are leaving it for “a few days.” He mentions the possibility of an acquaintance or someone else taking it. After watching all of Sam’s videos He doesn’t seem the type to just walk away from it forever. I would expect him to explain it in a later video.

[@rhett7716]

it didnt sound like he was going to return to it to me, think the bugs and lousy weather got the better of them !😏

[@junkname9983]

It was a dangerous ocean crossing that they shouldn't have done to begin with. It's a good they didn't sail back, especially with a broken rudder and a leaky hull but abandoning the boat with all that stuff on the beach like that is not a responsible thing to do either. Doesn't make me think very highly of him for doing that.

Yes … he just dumped his broken boat and unwanted gear on this beach for someone else to sort out. A D move.

If I wasn’t going to work for the summer this weekend I would have loved to try to bring the hobie back. Give us an update if someone does. Also that was cool of them to donate meals but thanks for the honest review! I can think of other channels that don’t have that integrity.
