Shark tour and sailing Haleiwa to Kaneohe

[@mammaholmes]

Thanks for getting another vid up, Sam. I've missed them, but not as much as I miss you! Love, Mom

[@coltonjones5968]

Hey Sam I recently started watching your Chanel. You seem so genuine and happy even when your caught in a storm sailing solo. I don’t think I’ve heard you swear once keep up the good work!

Seeing those island shots from the sea as you round a point enforces what I love about sailing the most.......Yer craft will take you WAY PAST where the roads end! There will Always be plenty of places with ELBOW ROOM as long as the winds blow!

[@thomasweatherford5125]

Sam, I just love your adventures! The memories later will be the greatest! Planning on continuing to follow you post Swedish Fish days and onto your next sailing vessel! Thanks for the awesomeness!

[@wcmarcus5223]

Your videos are awesome. A video about where you settled in Japan would be cool.

[@samholmessailing]

Thanks. Will do.

[@pretzelstick320]

Sam Holmes Sailing we just need a video where you solo sail the Somali straight.

[@SuperOCHomes]

I'm a kayaker; I can't wait until you have to paddle back into the wind after some food & drinks. Cliff hanger for me!

[@KNBARON]

Great videos, I lived there for years ....thanks for the flashback!

[@bradenwilson]

Sam! Such a great video! Loved learning about your electric motor - they should sponsor you. I'm sold, not only do you not have to worry about carrying or running out of fuel but the lack of noise and fumes make it so appealing. I also loved your demo of being hove to, there is nothing on youtube that really demonstrates it this well. I'm so excited for you getting your Disney gig in Japan but am going to miss your videos. There is something so appealing about small vessel cruising I hope you don't go too big on the next yacht. Oh and the shark dive looked awesome too. Many thanks for sharing!

[@samholmessailing]

Thanks. Ive been pretty pleased with the motor. Not as quiet as you might expect though. The effect of being hove too is even more pronounced with bigger waves. I sailed a 34 ft yacht a few weeks ago and i think that would definitely be on the upper end of what I’m going for. Im in Japan now but Ive got at least 3 more Hawaii videos to edit and share.

[@randygood3399]

Wow, every new day brings you a new adventure! Thank you for sharing.

[@danieloliver20]

So a boat for sale in Hawaii, a job in Japan, and the whole Pacific to find your next boat..... good luck on your sale, job, and shopping!

[@ronaldbeck1762]

That is exactly what i imagine every time I jump in deep water ... ( even a mountain lake )

[@richardjohnson4696]

What i like about watching your videos. You are what most people wish they could do, but they can't, or won't. I loved it when I was young and just did whatever I wanted. As I am getting older, I still do shit that comes out of left field and makes others around me me look at me like I am a total free spirit. I have to say.. Taking a tiny little sailboat and traversing the Pacific Ocean takes some really big cojones. Complete respect from me to you. It makes me wish I would have pushed my own limits more back in the day and push even harder for the crazy shit I do in the future. My next push. Sea kayaking the inside passage to Alaska. By comparison of what you are doing.. It pales in comparison.

[@samholmessailing]

Right on. That sounds like an amazing adventure!

[@marceld6061]

Glad to see another video from you Sam. I love Kaneohe. Great area.

[@cjtoomey1321]

Hey Sam! As usual, great attitude! Making the most of your time and the opportunity of sailing Hawaii! Given the exposure you have provided that windvane maker with your crossing and all seems like he ought to be more posative and engaged regarding your experience with his gear!

[@replynotificationsdisabled]

Upgrade to milspec connectors. Cant beat them.

[@davidlp6510]

Sam after seeing so many sharks doesn't it concern you when you have to jump in the water in the middle of the ocean? Especially in the Pacific where the sharks can be larger than your boat.

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Mako sharks would bother be more than any other shark. Did you encounter any?.

[@reflectionsdetail]

IMHO Waiola shaved ICE is the best on that island. The ice is powdery and the flavors are authentic

[@thecivvie]

Great video. What is the name of the outboard. I am starting to restore a Pandora 22 and don't want to go down the petrol outboard route

[@samholmessailing]

Torqeedo 1003

[@arrowshot3000]

your headlamp looks like it's seen better days! good luck in Japan whenever you start!

[@samholmessailing]

I had to replace the band but it’s hanging in there. Thanks. Im in Japan now.

[@julesbailey6770]

Looking forward to seeing that

[@skyearthocean5815]

You charge that outboard from solar right? Can you elaborate on how that works a little? Do you throw a switch to charge that vs. the batteries for your onboard power or what?

[@916wilton]

Approximately how many hours did it take to get to Kaneohe?

[@samholmessailing]

14hrs

[@timbohtv]

keep up these videos! never stop, its too interesting. thx

[@mitchkahle314]

Kaneohe Bay is one of the best sailing havens on Earth.

[@victorsr6708]

Mitch Kahle one of my favorite places on the island

[@dfiegel421]

Great video. They are getting much better and great editing. I assume you can charge the outboard battery with the solar panel’s. 👍👍

[@samholmessailing]

Yeah it takes about two days to fully charge on solar alone

[@dfiegel421]

I read one of your replies that you were in Tokyo now and you had said earlier that you were going to sell the boat before going to the new job. Good luck. Keep us informed on what your doing.

[@samholmessailing]

dfiegel421 yep the boat is sold. Ill probably get a new boat early next year but I plan on doing some collaborations with other sailors in the meantime.

[@egkingjr]

I’m curious why you to your main island hopping transits at night. As a layman it seems to me that would increase mishap danger? A line or sail issue or rough seas and you can’t easily see things going on? Seems like you are always the only guy underway in and out of harbors at night!

[@samholmessailing]

I like to leave at a time that will have me arriving in the daylight. Definitely more dangerous at night but can’t really be avoided as they are all over 12 hours. Some inter island passages have taken me three days when I got stuck going upwind and against a current. There is something special about sailing at night under the stars though. Its also nice to set the boat sailing far offshore, go to sleep and then wake up almost at your destination.

[@brianwestmoreland9852]

Lived on Kaneohe Bay for years, great sailing memories. If rising sea levels haven't destroyed it, and you sail there, spend a night anchored at the sand bar. Ask around you'll find it..

[@roywhiteo5]

its very sandy

[@brianwestmoreland9852]

I should always comment after watch the video. haha.. glad you found the sand bar..

[@samholmessailing]

The sand bar was pretty cool lol. I appreciate the comments either way. Also I think they help boost my position in youtube algorithm.

[@SteveWrightNZ]

Cool, man. Good fun!

Sam you have come so far since the days of bamboo rafts

[@samholmessailing]

Hey Tyler. Thanks. We should build another one someday and actually take it on an adventure!

[@Ulysses85]

I think the trick is just that you have to dry the bamboo so the whole thing doesn't weigh 200 pounds.

[@TheStengo]

That's the only one of your videos that i disliked, since it involves shark feeding. I'm a professional diver, for now 25 years, and advice you to keep away from any region where feeding sharks to sell those trips to dumb tourists, is a daily routine. It changed the animals behavior towards humans, and if u want to know how that works out, just look at Egypt. The red sea isn't safe anymore even at the beaches... You would be wise not to have your name associated with such an ignorant practice.

[@samholmessailing]

They dont feed the sharks here they just go out to an area with fishing boat because they attract the sharks
