For those of us she haters! Thanks!

Sam, I’m a very busy dad of 3. I’m 49 and my dreams of learning to sail don’t exactly excite my wife (lol) but it’s just great to live vicariously through your adventures. So exciting to listen to everything on noise canceling headphones. Great job and I’m looking forward to some merch. Who on earth could give a thumbs down to these videos! This guy is living the Dream in every sense of the expression! If you ever make it to Seattle, I’ll stop by to say hi! 🍻

Do your dreams excite you? Make time for yourself, man. Nobody else will. In the end, the only things you'll regret are the things you wanted to do in life but didn't even attempt.

Thomas, I'm in the same "boat". Father (39) of two (6 yr old girl, 9 yr old boy) and the wife has a fear of the ocean. I want to retire and sail the world, but she is supportive once the kids are out of the best and we have finances in order. I hope you can live your dream, even if it's later than you wanted.

@Fred Flintstone that's good advice! Sam also prefers dealing with smaller vessels overall. The bigger the boat, the less likely you'll have time to sail it because you're always fixing stuff. Unfortunately, we didnt have a sailboat when Sam was a kid but we did send him to sailing day camp for a couple summers. We had kayaks which is another easy, inexpensive way get your kids on the water.

Love your solo sailing vids. Your passage from LA to Hawaii lit a fire in me. A girl from Boston who has never set foot on a sailboat. But now my husband and I are taking the ASA 101 & 103 in two weeks as our vacation. Thank you Sam!

Sam has the most upbeat attitude. He is the only captain that still can smile when he runs aground or things go wrong. Keep sailing, keep smiling and stay cool.

It's weird how stressed out I get when the weather gets really rough out there. I mean, I KNOW Sam is gonna make it. I've seen videos more recent than this one. So why worry? What a blast this channel is.

Those SpaceX boats are Go Ms Chief and Go Ms Tree. Meant for catching the nose fairings (payload coverings) of their Falcon 9 rockets as they parachute down from a launch. There are two fairings on their rockets so they sent two boats; One for each fairing. The fairings are worth a couple million each so it's definitely worth trying to catch and reuse them. Mr. Steven was the original fairing catcher out of Los Angeles until the original company went bankrupt so SpaceX bought them out and moved them to the East coast where more launches occur.

I remember getting so excited over a can of Beenie Weenies.

Sam never stopped smiling, even when his eyes were full of fear. It was almost a death's-head grin for a while there. That's sailoring!

One of the best things about Sam's videos in the natural sound of the waves and ocean. It puts you right there.

That was freaking epic that is what people are wanting to see! 🇺🇸🙏🏻💪⚓️🎖

Sam, you did a fantastic job on this video. Really gets across the experience. In fact, I think I'll watch it again!!!

I haven’t been off shore since ‘95. You bring back a lot of memories!

I feel like this authentic video, especially with a good title as it has, should gain some nice traction. You have had some big adventures afloat! Stay well Sam.

You sir are living my dream. When I finally decide to throw in the towel at work, I'm going to learn as much as I can about navigating the seas, and then I'm going to buy a boat and sail off! Thanks for posting your adventures brother.

After hitting a log and dealing with a broken alternator you find a bottle of pickles and say still good. You da man!!!

Leaning off the boat to relieve oneself without being attached to the boat, and just "holding on" seems like a sure-fire way to ultimately fall off the boat and drown.

You inspire me so much! Really looking forward to the next adventure.

So good man! I'm a year into solo sailing from Greece back to Australia. Haven't made any vids yet despite watching loads on KZread. You've inspired me to get started. Keep up the good work hombre.

Haha I’ve been watching some of your older videos and my favorite part of this one is “I found a jar of pickles”

Sea and sky look amazing at 20 minutes or so, love these vids, so relaxing to watch.

Love your videos Sam! No other sailing content as authentic as yours

Still have not idea how you ended up in my feed but I certainly enjoy watching these! Congrats on making this happen for you!

He ended up in my feed after watching a bunch of windsurfing videos. I was like, "Who is this guy with the teeth?", but then I watched his Pacific crossing and I've been hooked ever since.

Living life to the fullest !!! I have been researching sailing trips for my fiancé and I. At 46 I feel it’s time to start working on that bucket list.

The closest I have ever gone to a boat is looking at the supply vessels load up at my work, you sir have an amazing smile and a great attitude, hats off to you sir

Sam, Good way to fix leaks through small cracks is to mix up some silastic RTV with mineral turpentine. Takes a few minutes of persistent stirring to get it to dissolve but it will eventually. Start with a 50/50 mix and aim for an easy pourability. Pour around the joint or fill a disposable syringe to squirt up hill. The silicon solution will permeate the joint and over a few hours the turps will evaporate leaving a thin flexible cured film. Stay safe!

Thanks for sharing your journey! We fish in the gulf stream off of south Florida for swordfish. Your absolutly right about it churning up when that wind turns!

I love seeing the inside of your boat. it's interesting . It shows how you're living in the moment

Love seeing the pure adventure of it all. The best part was you explaining the legit scary wave. Keep em coming!

Absolutely supreme job . That had it all Sam. A incredible installment. Incredible!

I love you Sam and I’m glad you made it safe

It has been amazing to follow your journey from neophyte sailor to where you are now. You have learned and seen so much since that first sail from Cali to Hawai'i. It is has been wonderful to be along with you. Thank you for sharing your adventures Sam!!!

Thanks for sharing this cool trip! Weather can get really tricky out there and meanwhile having second thoughts and fixing elderly equipment gives a real twisted kick to these passages, RESPECT!

Wonderful stuff Skipper Sam, look after yourself and best of luck with the upcoming maintenance, great video, thankyou.

When you 1st approach/enter the gulf stream you can actually see the top water moving differently. Pretty amazing sight. Makes power drifting way more difficult.

Great looking yachts at 4:35

I'm so happy to see you have a motorized dinghy now. I remember you pumping up a green canoe and using a snorkeling fin to paddle yourself in high winds to a dock to get supplies. Your the man...dude!!

You are a great sailor! Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful video as always Sam! Loved seeing those Space-X recovery vessel shots!

You are one brave man. I admire you.

Calm, cool and collected! Quite the sailor! ⛵️

You're an awesome guy Sam. I love watching your videos.

The water was so clear! Beautiful

Thanks Sam, really enjoyed the voyage. Good how you figured out your charging problem. Now to solve the leak. Looking foward to your adventure travelling north.

Great trip looking down in the open ocean is something I realize I have never done before. that was amazing to see!

Great Video, thanks Sam. Look forward to the next one.

Thank you Sam from South African sailor.

Another cool video! I really enjoy watching your videos.

Absolutely love your positive attitude. Main reason I subbed. I’ve never sailed but you make it seem so fun, it’s great to watch this and act like I’m there with you! Awesome energy all the time!

Sam just wanted to drop by and say I love your channel and your content. You are my favorite KZreadr to watch, you have an incredible personality and are such a like-able and knowledgeable guy. Keep up the great work 🤙🏻 Cheers from Vacaville, Ca

Just discovered your channel and I am really impressed with your skills and amazing positive attitude. Now I’ll have to go back and watch them all. One day I hope to get some sailing adventures in if I can just get retired. Maybe not as hard core like this was though. Man that looked scary out there!

Best video so far? Everyone has their opinion but this one might be mine. No Henrietta but the sailing was just fantastic. Thanks Sam, you are such an inspiration.

this Sam ROCKS...

I miss Zoe already too. What a sweetheart!

Excellent presentation, ass usual! Thank you. I especially appreciate your commentary when you run into difficulties : Most are met with a shrug and "we will get through it." Hearing about the raails beingawash. and a "25 foot wall of water," however, scared the daylights out of me ( well, it IS 2AM!) for your safety.

That was really nice... thanks Sam!

HI Sam, your new undertaking to go to North Carolina from Key West reminded me of your passage from Catalina Island to Hawaii. It seems you are at your best when you do things solo. We will be watching and also wishing you a safe passage. I love your channel!

As someone who has watched a lot of your videos, ive become quite interested in sailing. Is there any way you could make a video where you could give some instruction on how to get started in sailing? Like how did you get your start? How much experience did you have before you felt comfortable going out for long trips? If you've already made a video like this, and Ive just missed it, let me know please! I appreciate the content a lot!

That one actually made me a little bit tense, and I'm in the hills. Good job man..👍

Great channel...love your Down to earth personality 🙂

Great video. Definatelly a testament of the cape dorys seaworthiness.

MY IDEA FOR MERCHANDISE IS A NICE “T” shirt with your big smile face and the logo “KEEP ON SMILING.” “Sailor Sam”

Great video, Sam! way to own those waves.

Love watching your videos geezer. Hope you continue. Anyway chap, take care, and happy sailing to you. From Nick, in sunny cornwall uk.

Nice job Sam! Story telling and setup is getting better every upload.

Great video! Be safe and Fair winds!

I've seen big waves like that while aboard Navy ships, where the water came all the way up to the smoke deck. Super intimidating. Can't wait to experience it in my own boat.

Hell yeah Sam. Great gulf stream footage!

Sam you are a movie star! I sent all my brothers your video!!! Thank you! Jim.

New to channel. Sailing is my life long dream. Love the videos!

Hi so good to see you happy.

Thank you young man for the great footage doing something I only dream of doing.I really would like to give it a try.You do a great job narrowaiting thru your video to make them exciting and infromative.Enjoy my friend.Stay safe.

"I just found a jar of pickles, this is an exciting day." I would be legitly happy to find a jar of pickles anywhere but especially being out in the middle of the ocean, definitely more enjoyable!! Thanks for the entertainment =]

Nice upgrade from the 23ft boat you sailed to Hawaii! Still an amazing accomplishment! Make sure to get those leaks fixed and the battery situation sorted! Cheers sir, from another sailor.

We learned from having an on-board for over a decade... don't have an inboard. We sold that sailboat and bought one that was 2' shorter with an OUTBOARD motor on the back. It's much easier to work on and honestly everything else, too! We were always fighting the inboard... always fixing something, replacing this, doing that. It got annoying. No more! The outboard is such a better option, and you get more room on the boat! Win win!

As a local NC guy thinking about getting into sailing, seeing these videos has been helpful and inspiring. Hope one day I can get out there and cross paths with you!

Sam.. your new clamp on cup holder. could be used to catch those drips. .LOL sad to see your friend go.. glad to see almost 50000 subscribers!!!

Another awesome adventure Sam! It’s great to live at sea vicariously through your channel! I’d love to help out around the boat when you’re in the Chesapeake Bay Area. Let me know if there is an amazon wishlist you have going for parts needed on the boat or anything else to help keep this dream of yours alive!

Dude what a surprise to see the fairing catching spacex boat?!!!!?? Awesome

Survived another one. You know more what leaks are like... And on to drilling more holes... I like the sunsets, skyline, lubbers don't see as much, like big sky out west. Glad you got the battery sorted out no motor not as fun with no wind... (The usual in river sailing, btw) Peace

Love your videos. I live on the ICW in Beaufort NC. You can dock here any time . Carteret County is great

So cool man your really seeing the world.

This guy did it again. Amazing
