Turning South 🧭

Having sailed the entire eastern coast of the US, I finally turn around and start my long trip back South. I tuck into Portland to resupply and wait out an offshore hurricane. While there I meet a new friend and we explore some of the small Islands in the area.

Oh my gosh, who is this girl? Can't believe that she climbed that mast. You need someone like her as a full time crew.

[@stephenwilson9612]

And a girl in every port. Nice work, Sam. Stoked your surgery went well. Speedy recovery. Have a cool yule.

[@JohnnyRizon]

Sam pulls more tail than a slow kid at a petting zoo

[@timseif4838]

Link to the Eric from Norway guy?

[@timseif4838]

Never mind I got it 😂

[@lh457725]

@@JohnnyRizon lol I've never heard that one!

[@EricSmith-pl9nt]

Dude, you’re so laid back. ‘Someone stole my spare tire.’ Continues to explore the coast like it never happened. Keep up the great work.

[@richarnaud7794]

THis channel is awesome. I have been glued to it for the last 2 weeks since I found it. Gosh Sam is the man! He can fix anything. So many skills he has. He definitely gets the most out of his day. What an amazing talent. I never sailed but had a 1984 Bayliner yrs ago. I might never sail but definitely would like to learn. Maybe that will happen after watching this..who knows..Thanks Sam..

[@uwpbob]

Erik the Viking is amazing! You're like the laid back version of him!

[@jeffhughey8436]

She’s a keeper Sam

[@jimglass1161]

Don't worry Sam, you're about as hardcore as Eric. I can't wait to see more adventures after your recovery. Get back on the water soon.

[@joec8750]

Wow! I sea kyacked to that island as a kid and loved it! Ive been telling my girl that i want to take her there for years So cool to see you there!

[@kevinhildum9186]

Well I'm so glad to hear that you got the surgery and you're recovering good for you wishing and hoping the best for you always. And the new lady friend sailor Jasmine looks pretty darn cute you're a lucky guy

[@mccoymrm]

God bless you Sam!

[@pejoly2]

Hope you are feeling well and are having a smooth recovery. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@kimberlyb5512]

Most importantly, SO happy you’re doing well and recovered from your surgery. I pray all is going well with your bum 🤗

[@AeridisArt]

Your smile is so infectious. I love this channel, even though I'm not a sailor!

[@jeffpetrik8713]

Nice work Sam, God Speed to you, stay safe out there...

[@shnboardman1]

I also enjoy Erik's videos, i work in the North Sea on oil rigs and it can get seriously rough so i respect his journeys, especially solo

[@halibut1249]

A fire hydrant in the woods?? Maybe some home builder ran out of cash. Beautiful Maine coastal waters, and all the gulls chasing bait fish. Jasmin is fearless to scale your mast, even with those folding wrungs. Glad all went well with your surgery. You're an inspiration. Look forward to more vids and keep us in the loop on your winter projects.

[@BillChild2njoy]

I remember sailing by little Cranberry Island on our way from Notheast Hiarbor on way to Isle au Haute. It was soupy all morning but in the afternoon it left and by near Sunset (Fall I believe) the winds picked up a few points off the starboard bow and the Scjooner Stephen Tabers bow was pounding through the waves coming at us from the South sending bow spray far and wide as a 10 Connandments sunset lit the base of the still mostly cloudy sky a fire !! Most wild Cinenascope sail ever. !!!!

[@williamallen3715]

Thanks Sam. Live in Mass but absolutely love Maine. Great episode. Glad your surgery went well. Peace brother.

[@barretthooper9207]

So glad to see you back in the boat, or at least another video of you smiling and adventuring. Keep up the good work!

[@275Vet-RLTW]

Sam's a playa!

[@DougVarble]

Sam, @Erik Aanderaa is a true BAD ASS. Sailing the North Atlantic around Iceland, incredible talent! You are a bad ass in a whole different way, we each have our own journey in life!

[@leostuntman]

Sam patent your jet boil gimbal mate could be a bit of extra coin for you to keep sailin 👍 Glad your doing ok after surgery 👍

[@robertcolvin3182]

Sam, you get more done in a short video, (always great, btw, including last weeks), than most folks do in longer, more winded ones. Glad you're feeling better. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@rhett7716]

Great vid Sam didnt want it to end. Jasmin looks the goods and not scared of heights either. I too like a can of chunky soup when camping, usually add a few extras to it. Best wishes for a speedy recovery mate.

[@Bob8091]

Great news about the surgery. Looking forward to your adventures next year. You mentioned Erik. He certainly does deserve his occasional Ciggies and beer. Meanwhile, Sam, have a good festive period.

[@tonybarnes3858]

way to go Sam.

Every time I watch your stuff, Sam, I play Christopher Cross - Sailing. -- Great stuff as always. be safe. Fair winds and favorable Seas, friend.

[@MrBernie101]

Try playing Madness, "Sailing across the sea, to be with my Uncle Sam" Rafnagud ............

[@danielprovost1]

Jasmine looks fun

[@CaptainJohnmaddux]

Jasmine seems like a good asset to the channel. I hope she’s in more videos thanks for sharing. John the Limo Driver from Kansas City

[@foundatsea3483]

This is everything.. 8:31 - thanks for sharing Sam! Well done again.

[@davidc6510]

I had a good laugh when you showed the can of pickle juice - I can see the caption now: Got pickled on Pickle Juice while on Pickled Herring. Great adventure Sam. Thanks for sharing!

[@brianmcintyre6407]

So chill...thank you Sam.

Jasmin: "I don't always go sailing with strangers, but when I do I like to visit creepy old forts in the woods on deserted islands."

[@popsoldboats3406]

These just keep getting better. Well done.

[@MirchiBoy]

Get well soon Sam. You are an inspiration and your videos are a joy to watch

[@clayfarnet970]

Every location is better than the other. I love Cape Dory, and yours is beautiful. Get well soon. 👍👍

[@eckhardkoehler3013]

Yeah Erik from just sailing no bullshit! That guy is great, total viking, love him. Let's be honest, you both make great roll models.

[@joncatalano5923]

Heal fast 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@bake162]

Good to hear your recovery is going well.

[@SteifWood]

Yes, *Erik Aanderaa* is bad ass sailing

[@itsjustplainsailing5189]

Blimey Sam, I never knew, wouldn’t of even guessed , never even heard of the ailment let alone the remedy. But you know what it is what is; your enjoying life so all’s good, plus the fact you can smile whilst you sail makes it all the better. Keep going bro 😎

[@pchhcp7509]

Stay good.

[@irongoatrocky2343]

good to see you are recovering well.......I like your videos showing the likes of single handed (for the most part) blue water sailing.......

[@FCBENI]

Glad to see you and hear that you are recovering well. Thank you for the great video!

[@alecc.lambert2352]

I just found your channel and love it! I’ve been binge watching haha. Glad your surgery went well man! Keep us updated :D God bless

[@jerrydavis9670]

Hey Sam. Glad you’re surgery went well.

[@markzieg3593]

Another great video. Cool sasquatching thru the former military observation posts.

[@RagtopDazed]

Yeah Sam, Eric from NBJS is nearly as bad ass as you are! Good luck and hope your recovery continues to go well.

[@michaellucas5859]

Rest up Sam, looking forward to the next adventure.

[@southerntexashomestead5028]

Another great video. Hope you are feeling better & stronger every day. Take care.

[@Thomas-ts2gl]

Sam check out the Vendee Globe... solo race around the world .. the race started Nov. 8th 2020 .. it takes around three month to complete.. they race every four years.. I can see you doing that..

[@dbentley2195]

Good to see you back on the water. Love your videos Sam ❤👍

[@mtadams2009]

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care.

[@C_C_SEA]

Nicely done, fella. Best wishes and highest intention for as smooth a recovery and durable function as possible. Go well, ole hand 🌬💨🌊⚓️

[@327365hp]

You kick ass Sam!

[@aquanation3779]

You captured the forward drive, while sailing on your video,perfectly! I could feel the power...

[@275Vet-RLTW]

Btw I found they mKe a $10 adapter for the jet oil and other propane/butane stoves that allows you to use the green propane tanks. Works great. Way easier to find than the mix fuel. Just an fyi. Something youd probably want

[@msromike123]

So happy to hear the surgery went well and you are on the road to recovery!

[@johhndough]

beautiful vid-- all the best for a continued recovery!!! :)

[@rgregory2519]

You have the best sailing channel on KZbin Sam. I wish you a full and speedy recovery from your surgery, so you can get back out on the water soon. Fair winds form Philly Pa.

[@trentbush38]

Glad to hear that the surgery well well! Sail on!

[@centermid7mb]

Good on ya mate - Looks like you found "another island to explore" !!

[@pw7030]

Great video...quick recovery♡

[@TOMMYGRINNS]

So Cool !!! Love the trip. Glad your surgery went well and you are doing good !!!

[@haywood12]

Glad that operation went well. This video just felt like 5 min 👍👍👍

[@AdventureOtaku]

Jetboil sells a hanging kit, for use on big walls, or ice caves, you could hang it from the ceiling, as long as it has space to swing.

[@samholmessailing]

I think that wouldnt work for a sea gimbal because the pivot needs to be near the pots waterline.

[@joseph5481]

Glad surgery went well, love the videos

[@oceansquatch1481]

Hey Sam, glad the surgery went well! Looking forward to your future adventures!

[@redwood1957]

Thanks for the update. Some nice shots in that video

[@sammyvh11]

Hope your healing well.

[@IanHn56]

Cheers Sam!

[@RobHaren]

Glad you are recovering! You do look a little beat up at home so continue to rest up. This was a great sailing video lots of big air and speed! Another notch in the mast??? Rob

[@PSMTom]

Super glad to hear your surgery went well! I hope your recovery goes smoothly!

[@Mads_Villebro]

Hi Sam Love your videos. Your unconcerned drive is so inspirational. When you cross the Atlantic, consider visiting our Danish waters. Especially the archipelago south of Funen (my home waters) are quite spectacular. And a meet up with Erik must be inevitable. Best Mads

[@s.simsmamasboy]

Just sayin...you're something else young man. Keep on keeping on.

[@shlomodahan5255]

Wonderful movie/episode glad to see you back

[@pscileppi]

Glad the surgery went well and thanks for the video. Guessing it helps to spend the recovery time cranking out videos!

[@prof.heinous191]

Erik's OK, subscribed also! Glad to hear the op went well, take it easy!

[@skullhart]

Hope you feel better soon. Great footage and storytelling

[@johnp1]

[@Ash-cy7yw]

Awesome video Sam. Glad to hear you're recovering from the surgery and hopefully it will all mend well. Keep us posted on that front. Regarding your video timelines is it possible you can overlay approximate dates these events transpire since they happen in the past? I'm trying to get an idea of weather in those locations and time of year for example. Thanks again Sam you made my Friday evening...!! Keep safe and healthy Captain.

[@hansjensen7823]

Ah Sam has a new spring on his step! Nice job captain!

[@robm7543]
