Best sailing channel on you tube

[@Velo1010]

I agree. Nothing like sailing KZbin channel that jumps right into the video without wasting three minutes on canned music intros.

[@charliesfunchannel6069]

True because he doesn’t just show the fancy good stuff, he shows the good and bad

[@TurnOffYourTV]

Agreed. Hes a fcking RockStar. One of YT's Best Channels.

[@skbuch16]

As a geologist, this video is validation. Rocks are cool

[@uncletomproject]

We are living vicariously through you Sam....)

[@bowlinggreenoil]

Hell of a lee shore. Thanks.

[@elenichristoforides8033]

Pouring fresh water over the welts immediately after a jellyfish sting will bring that swelling down within 10-15 minutes. Lots of fresh water. Keep flushing the welts until the sting lessens. The welts will deflate but stay red, itch goes away. The colouration will last for a while, up to a year but less if you are in the sun often. I still have part of my “scar” after a year. I’ve grown real fond of it actually, you can see how the tentacles/legs laid over my knee

[@harryjohnquest7102]

Thanks for weighing in on set of ground tackle practicalities (anchoring on the rocky shore side). Beautiful.

[@TheJono13]

Crazy day!👏👏👏 my guy, at the beginning when you said you were both getting off to dive and let the boat drift.😅my anxiety went thru the roof! And that was wildly risky going between those rocks with that amount of current! 👍good job💪

[@jamessandman3708]

Great video Sam!! Gentlemen of culture respect the mate...⛵⛵⛵

[@wfemp_4730]

Lovely views from the boat! :P

[@als2217]

Wow that wind is something!

[@waynebanner5302]

If you put vinegar on jellyfish stings it should take out the sting and effects from the stings. You can use urine as well if you don't have vinegar. You should keep vinegar on board just for stings, if you ever come across the irukandji or similar you really don't want to be unprepared.

[@azdbuk]

The urine thing is a myth. I tried it when I was a kid, made it worse, then researched it as adult, nothing supports it unless something came out in last few years.

[@Fisklina]

Urine does not work at all, it's a myth.

[@Velo1010]

There is a doctor with a KZbin video. Pee isn’t going to do anything for a jellyfish sting. It’s been proven.

[@lesliepellegrin8815]

Yes… accurate information!

[@dan711g]

❤ God bless you, adventure man! And Anna too🙏

[@darikdatta]

Rough life you have there Sam. Enjoy the sunshine!

[@Seafariireland]

"Les Roches Rouge" area of Corsica with its red volcanic rocks is a very beautiful part of Corsica, loved it when I visited there several years ago, gorgeous area!

[@robotarms]

So awesome. Keep up the great content!

[@julesswales1535]

Great video. Gorgeous color of water and fab rocks.

[@timothyfranklin473]

really enjoying your videos. thank you for sharing

[@spencer6145]

Thank you Sam! I look forward to meeting you one day! Fair winds!

[@WillN2Go1]

Gunboat. The gray cat with the carbon sail. First time I've seen one that wasn't accompanied by really loud muzak.

[@WyoDevil]

First time I've seen one that wasn't tied up in a port. Does look like something out of James Bond with a price tag to match.

[@RechargeableLithium]

Sam - keep Adolph's meat tenderizer on board for jellyfish stings. The enzyme in the tenderizer (papain) disassembles the protein that causes the sting.

[@hermitoldguy6312]

Pinapple also contains an enzyme that disassembles protein, but protein is what Sam is made of.

[@davidburwell4218]

i've used meat tenderizer on jellyfish stings before it works very quickly, amazing results, highly recommend :)

[@roberthood2352]

Always enjoy your videos 👍

[@williamcarlson2480]

Thanks!

[@S.Norman]

Thanks

[@corporalclegg914]

I’ve never seen images of those locations, so thank you for sharing this with us. too cool.

[@samholmessailing]

My pleasure! It was 10x as cool in person but I think the videos still showed it pretty well

[@meh4743]

Hey Sam, Spray on or rub white vinegar on the jelly fish sting and then rub it briskly. It takes away the burning sensation almost immediately. This works on the Portuguese man of War sting as well. Something to add to the first aide kit.

[@meh4743]

PS the meat tenderize does not work as fast as the white vinegar.

[@simonblackwell4273]

good times

[@DrRodis]

Promise to revise or update your favorite anchorages when you get to Greece.

[@ghalston5641]

Αυτο! (Says the yank in Hellas…). Exactly what I was thinking. But to be fair, he is in Magna Grecia, no? Or at least near.

[@jfv65]

You can also use the anchor + twin shore line technique in Croatia, Greece and Turkey.

[@RandomlyTV3]

Viewer from Utah here. Can confirm, that looks just like southern Utah rocks! Amazing! 👍

[@samholmessailing]

Very cool! I love Utah

[@rodnabors7364]

Some of that does look like Arches and the Colorado. Very cool.

[@bradwade4418]

I think this might be one of your best videos yet...love that 360 camera on the selfie stick, first that I have ever seen, cool look!!

[@samholmessailing]

Wow, thanks!

[@bungaloboynes]

Sam your inspiration because of you am sailing again in the UK and my mental health is amazing peace love and fair winds friend ❤❤

[@samholmessailing]

Thats great to hear.

[@icholash]

You are in the most glorious place in the world ; the Mediterranean. The place where thousands of years classical and political history have occurred. You have it true to history; two randy lovers in paradise. Good luck. SH.

[@ericj4769]

I am amazed at your selfie stick proficiency bro, keep it coming!

[@vanwest4198]

Great travel log! Another great sailing travelog is ‘Sailing Oriyo’!

[@bryanb1259]

❤👍

[@ZAN-THE-GOAT]

Cleaning vinegar takes the sting away & make it not as bad with itching afterwards

[@williamturner1517]

Haven't watched in a while....lookin' good Sam....diggn' the long hair look - a true Viking ~

[@rockymnthodad3047]

Live in CO, not far from Arches N.P. and visits there, been stung by S.pacific jelly, one tiny tentacle got me on wrist and tore me up pretty good, can't imagine larger sting ! My s/v is in the PNW. Thanks great content, fair winds mahn !

[@23455Bill]

Old surf fishing remedy for those nasty jelly fish strings. Sprinkle some Adolph's meat tenderizer on them. Breaks down the venom which I believe is some sort of protein. I always kept a container of it in my tackle box. Mix it with the vinegar another viewer commented on for best results. Apply it as soon as possible after the sting to minimize the damage.

[@kimvanderlaan4120]

Arches national park is in my home State Utah! Loved this video gorgeous area. Safe sailing!!

[@samholmessailing]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@seanbibby3898]

Do you th>nk you will upgrade to 35ft. With a little more power in the engine.

[@MegaTriumph1]

What an adventure you are having Sam, you have found hexagonal rock formations and melted rock. Some of us ancient civilization enthusiast believe that a cataclysm event happened long ago that melted everything including complete cities. Its to bad about your drone that would of been some great footage. Ireland has a park full of hexagonal rocks.

[@samholmessailing]

Cool!

[@joekavanagh5708]

The park is called the Giant's Causeway .

[@Teppishc]

Those little purple stingers are nasty stings! Best advice is to put a towel/flannel soaked with as hot a water as you can stand on it for as long as possible.

[@mhub3576]

I wonder if you could use a kite cam to get some great aerial shots of the boat sailing along. You can always pull it back in if it goes down. And kites are cheap.😊

[@samholmessailing]

That's a great idea!

[@mojostevo]

I think your GoPro was better for under water footage that the 360.

[@PaulFrancisAAA]

Lock it up and put a ring on it. You’re done buddy!

[@Kowzorz]

That drone story lmao it hits like a cartoon. rip

[@isickofit]

The Aegean is wicked in Autumn..

[@SYHOZHO]

Damn Sam!! Another drone!! Lol

[@urfuturo6467]

Suggestion: try rock climbing equipment for you Swedish mooring. Nut or/and Hexs,(cheap) or Friends/Cams (expensive) . Should do the job nicely.

[@samholmessailing]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that

[@nickroyal8619]

Looks fantastic! How about a few select pieces of modern climbing hardware for tying to shore? It’s versatile, not bulky quick to put in / take out. Couple of cams, few slings, maybe some old hex’s? That pack you have reminds me of stuff Sir Hillary would’ve used…

[@samholmessailing]

Great idea.

[@jamesgordon2289]

great video Sam. I think that your drone developed self awareness and has gone to find another drone to live its life with

[@samholmessailing]

That appears to be the case lol

[@wallabybob3020]

Vinegar or pee (preferably your own!) for jellyfish stings unless it’s a box jellyfish, in which case you’ll just need a prayer book.

[@mickeykeymoaw]

Vinegar for the Sting.

[@jeffmercier1974]

I'm always concerned about bites and stings, ouch, cool video , I'm at my first anchorage, going good ☠️✌️

[@samholmessailing]

Right on!

You are a good sailor.

[@mikejelinek1413]

Great video Sam, It looks very exciting to explore caves like those. You've had a great summer of sailing! Keep up the great content.

[@samholmessailing]

Thanks, will do!

[@LL-ch5ce]

love your sailing adventures,, and your lovely lady friend! great work

[@curtisb9422]

Great scenery! One of the best videos of this trip! Thanks for sharing your actual locations, unlike some you tubers. Have you put together a route history of all your trips for the last year or two that you could post?

[@samholmessailing]

Thanks. Thats a good idea

[@stanleybest8833]

Glue and tie ping pong balls on your drones so they can't sink. If they land in the drink, remove the battery and wash them with distilled water.

[@carlnyberg2934]

More of Elin!

[@peterrahill9263]

381st upward thumb. Your segment at 1:20 - I think you just spoiled a flat-earther's day. :0)

[@charliesimeon]

The jellyfish is a "man o war", (they get much bigger, so in a way you're lucky)...anti histamine and vinegar will help, but you may scar.... don't use urine, that's a old wives tale and utter bollocks. A local pharmacy will also help, the stings are quite common, esp off boats in the Med.

[@AmtrakBoy42]

You should keep vinegar on board to cure the jellyfish sting.

[@airshot5093]

long live pickled herring

[@michaelsmith-0744]

Pour vinegar on it will help

[@Smylzncries]

Best scenery yet i got to ask what kind of camera gear you like or use?

[@samholmessailing]

Im using an iphone and an insta 360

[@redwood1957]

Very nice video. First a jelly fish then the winds did you not announce that Sam Holmes was in the area. You did a good job on this video. Just a thought you should ofer your course history on navionics. Thanks

[@samholmessailing]

Thanks. Good idea

[@JuanDaringMann]

🍪

[@SYHOZHO]

Makes me wanna get a summer suit wetsuit to protect me from jelly’s. Also I’m starting to consider multiple drones and cameras if that’s pretty common losing gear?

[@marukastrys3328]

cheeky )))

[@smokeymchaggis73]

Im sorry but the mental visual of you letting the drone go and it just flying off to it's new self determined home had me rolling 🤣

[@samholmessailing]

It was tired of the boat life i guess lol

[@siavashtoosi5017]

Amazing video 🙏 at what wind speed do you drop the main and start motoring usually?

[@samholmessailing]

Under 3kts of wind and I’ll usually drop the sails.

[@trailsandsails2722]

Really unique and captivating stuff, Sam! So is that unusual shaped rock ancient Aa (pronounced ahah) lava rock? I think Aa is a Hawaiian name for that & adopted by geologist. Also, what was your cure for relief from the jellyfish sting? Dean

[@rapido2963]

Do I remember reading rubbing urine on jellyfish stings? Perhaps not?

[@NoBullshitJustGaming]

Noicee

[@rapido2963]

Can you attach an AirTag to your drones? Seems like it could work …..

[@HDlife518]

Try calibrating your drone before launching. Since, you are taking off from different areas of the World, you’ll need to do a calibration everytime.

[@SailingMarieholmIF]

Hi Sam, does the 360 camara record 4k as well?

[@samholmessailing]

I think it might but I dont have the bandwidth/ memory/ patience to do 4k

[@12345.......]

Completely unrelated, but how did you find your garage property? Thats exactly what im looking for to set up for home base while traveling.

[@samholmessailing]

I think it was on Craigslist

[@JERZEECOWBOY]

dude, if the temo floats, is water proof, you should harry potter it and go nimbus 2000....in the water. maybe add floatation. OMG!!!!! get an inner tube. its perfect for things like that cave

[@ssshebees2842]

Pissing on jelly fish burn

[@factanonverba6169]

A thick paste of bi-carb will ease the stings.

[@algarveblues]

Like your video's so much. Several times you move your camera (too) fast from left to right. That gives a restless view of what you want to show us.

[@samholmessailing]

Noted!

[@scottmarkham9466]

Did you see the face in the coral. It was reddish brown then the white face. It looked like a face from Hawaii or Polynesian!

[@samholmessailing]

Yes I could see all sorts of faces and shapes of things in the rocks

My youngest son got stung by the same jelly in Zante, he’s still got the remains of the scar 2 weeks later.

He had his bud light moment when he put his hair in a man-bun and filmed a drag queen show. So much for the all American boy adventure. There are plenty of other sailing channels that don't sh*t on American culture.

[@SYHOZHO]

Sam I may be wrong? But why are you jumping into the water during the cave seen with sponge board flippers on? Those seemed really short do you like shorter flippers? Usually the bigger the faster and more surface you cover. But idk any tips? Buying my gear for my travels around the sea.

[@samholmessailing]

Force fins. Nice and compact
