Fighter jet pilot: y'all won't believe it, I flew right over the Sam Holmes! That really got my heart racing!
Hello there ! This part of France from Saint Malo to Nantes is called Brittany, and used to be a country. I was a mix with « brit’s » and celtics. There are a lot to see you missed the « rose cost » with granit with the special color. Don’t miss Carnac the most iconic menhir and dolmen place in the world. I am in Pornichet if you need a stop point and maybe I can help. Thank you to give dreams !
Hello! My cousin lives near Boulevard du Port & Boulevard de la République, tres proche de Port de Plaisance
& Port d'échouage de Pornichet Capitainerie!! J'ai hâte de traverser l'Atlantique dans quelques années et je vais décrocher dans l'une de ces marinas
Camaret. I hope you had the occasion to learn the famous song about the Priest of Camaret ! Next time I hope you'll sing it to us with your ukulele 😁
Regarding your salmon I read "trout" (truite) on the pack. Technicaly a trout is a member or the salmonids family, but it's not a salmon and certainly not "a weird French salmon".
Just a trout. 😉
Oh that explains it 😂
I could really sense the anxiety of the sailing, the passage and the mental battle against wind and waves. Sam, this video particularly pulls us in. Great job!
Thanks
Loved your use of the navionics voice-over to describe current sailing conditions/ destination. Really adds to the story telling when its used during the passage as opposed to a recap later on. Same goes for the 360 cam sail changes. Thanks for bringing us along with you Sam!
This is one of the more nerve-racking sail videos. Thanks for capturing all of it. It really gives the sense of stress you feel on board
You bet
Thank you so much for posting these travels. I lived in France for two years and was fortunate enough to travel to Saint Malo, Dinard, Dinan and Saint Lunaire. You are bringing back fond memories. Ps. French salmon is very different, and the Merguez sausages are wonderful!
Again a nice video. The Bay of Biscay can be terrible when it comes to waves (see eg Igor Stropnik's videos where he sails various catamarans from the Netherlands and France to Croatia). By the way, I love these sleepy little French towns. Not only along the coast, but also inland. There is a very special atmosphere there which I really like with old buildings and a lot of unpretentious history.
...and the Orcas.
I delivered a yacht back from la rochelle and had to sail on to the fuel pontoon as we had run out of fuel. We sailed perfectly to the bearth and walk away saying to each other "I hope nobody asks us to do that again" keep it coming
Nice. So satisfying
Thank you Sam. Your videos are among the best sailing videos. I realy appreciate them and I will keep on watching till where you are heading.
That looked scary. The squeaking from the tiller sounded like you had a kid on-board crying.
annoying cat
I had my granddaughter for a sleepover and I had headphones on. I thought I kept hearing her calling out to me.
Many of you watching Sam's channel are like me; we fantasize and wonder if we could solo sail all over the world just like Sam! Well if you just watch the middle 10 minutes of this episode on auto replay for like 50 million cycles you can get a real feel for whether you, too, could be a solo cruiser just like Sam!! I think I'm still satisfied with sailing closer to home with my little San Juan 21 and my Hobie Adventure Island. But thanks, Sam for doing what you're doing so we don't have to and can just enjoy your videos!!
That's what 30 of my 37 days crossing of the Pacific last year was like! I loved every minute of it.
Sam, is your spinnaker pole used for a spinnaker or for polling out your jib?
As always nice watching, love when I see a video posted by you! Thanks for bringing us along
At 16:33 the "Salmon" you are cooking isn't exactly salmon, the package says: "truite saumonée". That's Sea Trout (aka Salmon Trout) and explains why the skin is so different.
Very inspiring, Thanks for the adventure and be safe.
BTW, I like your music, keep it coming.
19:46 - "OUTTA MY WAY!! OUTTA MY WAY - COMIN' THROUGH!!"
For what it's worth - your Waddenzee adventure inspired an instrumental, still in progress: "On The Waddenzee".
Always dig hearing you making your own tunes for your channel - noodling while you're cruising.
Nice to see your sailboat from someone else’s perspective. 👍
Have Cape Dory 28 for sale . Most seasonal price. Sam I have enjoyed following your journey. I am 86 and sailing days are over but I sail on the TH-cam channels..thank you.
Where and how much please
Yeah it's highly enjoyable to experience a hobby as fantastic as sailing throughout TH-cam this way, I know exactly what you mean!
Loved this video! I didn't see you wearing a life vest while on deck though. That worries me for your safety.
🙄
Sam, you have been one day ahead of me since I do not know when……greetings from Tiramisu from Ausvigheia, now in Quiberon….
At 19:02, see the little church and its broken spire? It was actually blown off by an English cannonball during a battle in the 17th century and never got rebuilt. I live in the US but my hometown is close to Camaret, I’ve been following you for several years and it’s so cool to see you there Sam! Fair winds to you
I love your sailing adventures so much!
That was the fastest moving snail I’ve ever seen!
I love the original music in your videos! You've got a good ear for playing interesting and unique melodies!
Thanks!
Saint Malo is one of my favourite places on earth, spectacular place!
those big waves, would let one know ones place in the world good show!
Hey tickled me, when he says I don't like this, I half expected him to start throwing a tantrum, seems like a good kid
The Pickle actually cries when struggling in waves. That sound. 😢
You got an honorable mention on this weeks "Captain Q Yacht Hunters" post. Your little boat seems to handle just about anything you can throw at it. Impressive.
Aaaaah..., I really needed that. Thanks Sam!!!........⛵⛵⛵
That snail was flying! Must know he’s in France 😂
😂
Cheers, mate! Great passage! I'm based in Poole, southern England and hope to venture to France again in my boat - Contessa 28. Really nice to see real sailors in small boats who are not in quarter of a million buck super yachts making these epic passages! Good job, fair winds and following seas!
We sailed here in an oceanic 30, pre Brexit, lived in Dinan a while…bought a house! Brittany is great!
I want a Contessa 32 so bad
Will you need crew for that trip?
@@Kinematographer That sounds like the absolute dream and you were lucky you timed it right to get out of here pre brexit! Ive spent half of my working life abroad and lots in Europe. It's a disaster for people like us who rely on travel sp much internationally! Hope things are great over there!
@@sitatt things yes, marriage...disaster! Dont do that kids.
Nice photography of the moving snail at the end of the video.
Thanks. I thought they were pretty cool and wanted to film it moving.
Your boat is 27'-28' ? I saw your vid sailing from US mainland to hawaii. If so & ur still going then great job ! An entire planet in a teeny-tiney boat, INSPIRATIONAL ! 😂👍
Yes but the boat I sailed to Hawaii was 23’
@@samholmessailing oh !!! Even better coz im looking @ $5,ooo relocation costs for a 32' bristol yawl. Seems tiny inside but a study boat & bluewater capable, so if u can enjoy on a smaller boat then i can keep it mind 4 myself 😄 tyvvm !!!
I mean to say $5'000 to transport the boat so i can put it in a marina where i am. Then go sail !!!!
Love everything about sail boats/sailing except the seasickness and constant danger...i used to work on the North Atlantic and Davis Strait in winter on a small ship...60-70 days on, 30 days off, ..no running into ports for bad weather except the most extreme weather forecast and even then maybe not.
Love the classic American yacht designs from the 1930s-1960s for their looks.
Great to see Muskrat being enjoyed on the high seas!
Awesome ! I enjoyed another adventure with you.
Thanks
You bet
One more great adventure. Thanks Sam from Sc.
So envious
Great footage of your boat looks awesome
Sailed that coast many times. Not sure I would call those big waves for that area, when the swell is as tall as your mast, then they are big. Mind short and steep, so not nice.
You were lucky to not get fog. Pre GPS we have been fog bound for a week. Also had the fog descent half way through the Chanel du Four, went from one buoy to the next…until we lost sight of the last…scary.
Sounds scary
We also once sailed around the outside, in the fog. Tacking between the sound of big ships in the traffic lane and the waves on the coast. The joys of pre GPS!
Concarneau is amazing. There are craft canneries making the best tinned food ever..
That big aluminium yacht with yellow topsides looked like a weapon, should have taken it out for a spin Sam
nice to see Antarctica again at 18:54 . she's a monster of an aluminum ship . ready to survive ice pressur . l saw her in camaret many years ago . thanks for that 👍
Ahoy Sam, did you see Captain Q gave you a nice plug in his episode on a $6,000 world cruiser?
I saw that.. the Captain giving Sam props.
Cool!
Got that pretty Farrah Fawcett hair flowing 😅
I'd be interested to hear more about the Schengen situation Sam
Thanks for posting these great videoes Sam, you have inspired my family and me to travel to France this year, in our small boat.. I really feel ya, we sit in the same waves, it’s ruf!
Maybe we catch up with you this summer 🏝
Fair winds :)
Go for it!
When in doubt just keep going!
Hi, Sam. Perhaps when you careened your boat it shifted the freon in to fridge such that it was not settled out when the boat recovered? Perhaps the fridge should stay unplugged for several hours afterwards? Wonderful videos, as always! -Mike
Is it compressor based? Not Peltier?
I think it was electrical because eventually it wouldn’t even turn on. I found a hopefully identical replacement im going to get tomorrow though. Bad timing for it to die just as the weather is warming up.
@@MarcelLENORMAND compressor
Watch out fer irate Orcas ... wild boat attack stories lately
Off Morocco so i heard
@@madal55 iberian coast ... southwest france spain ... one bit a hole in a vessel ... not much you could do to stop it i guess ... aside from shooting
@@RT-vo2vh Mostly Gibraltar and North Morocco and outside Portugal!
@@elfredo70 No, that Orca is YER MOM !!
Great sailing. ⛵
Thank Sam, Enjoyed the RIDE….. John… Ont. Can.
Something you can technically do if you want to save some Schengen days, if you have a longer multiple day passage you can stamp out of the zone and stamp back in when you get to the next place
I wish i had done that for my biscay crossing that ended up taking 6 days!
What you ate was a Rainbow Trout. Note the magenta marking and small black spots. Look out for Saumon next time. Enjoyed the vid.
Or Farm raised 🤮
Great job and excellent video.
Thanks!
Thanks
You are amazing, great content 👍
Thanks!
Thank you very much You're the best
Thanks.
I can't go on boats in any kind of rough water. I get anxiety just stepping off the dock onto any boat that might not be ashore for any length of time. But, I'm so envious of Sam. The best parts of this video were the stabilized sea scenes with the large following waves. This is a scene I will probably never see in person. So, thanks. Thanks for the maps. This time I actually figured out where you would probably stop, from the name of the video. I'm 70 and there is one part of me that wishes you would get a proper sailing outfit, stay shaved, and cut your hair. When can you possibly find the time to edit and publish all the video? Thanks for all you do.
I hope you all join me next time when I sail to Breast 😂😂😂😂😂 you've sold me already
Sam not sure if it works anymore but if you go and check into Gibraltar (British territory) you can save some days on your Schengen visa
Hey Sam, I'm in Wilmington but next time you are back in Southport I'll treat you to the provision co.
Have you ever seen a UFO while out at sea?
Look for a bus tour to Mont St Michele. I did one from Paris.
There’s also truite saumonée, half truite,half salmon
Re your 'weird French salmon': what you had was trout (truite = trout). For future reference, saumon is the French for salmon.
You look like a rock star man! Thanks for the great videos.
Your autopilot sounds like it's begging you to kill it 😂
Buddy, please let me know when you are getting to Sydney Australia. I will be waiting for you and will welcome you here. You will be my guest.
Darko
Still has the graveyard of old fishing boats.
Sam, do you want/need a bigger boat? I'm back and forth deciding between something in the 45' range to something like Pickle. I don't expect my wife to cruise much with me.
Many people think 34-37 is a sweet spot for offshore single handing if you cant handle the motion of a smaller boat and want to have the ability to also take crew sometimes. 45 is getting pretty big for docking alone and everything goes up dramatically price wise.
What is the “wheel” on the bow, starboard side? Just out of curiosity. Thanks!
Great episode. ⛵⛵⛵⛵
more Sam Holmes goodness
If you have not already fixed it…bluetooth is 30’ or 300’. Class1 is 300’.
I have to ask does anyone know what that boat was at 18:55? I’ve never seen anything like it! That’s not saying much but it sure looked unique.
So Brave!
Well,i am happy with your fair winds…..i am trying to go up north…..😢😢😢😢
6:52 Was that a Rathergood reference?! "But not as much as a spooon!" Haha that's as obscure as it gets!! 😂
I think about those odd hamsters everytime I look at the moon
NICE HAIR !!!!!
love it , was tat your tune at the end?
Yes
Sounds great
Truite is not salmon, it’s trout…😉
Haha that explains it
@@samholmessailing Rainbow trout by the look of the skin.
Looks like fun
How do you rest with the auto pilot noise?...blessings...m
sail along the coast of Portugal you'll have to watch out for killer orca the prepare to have another rudder to have a barrel that you make with a rudder that you can throw in the water and tie with a rope like that the orcas will have fun with that and not with your boat..
Good idea
7:17, wow!!
Nice chemtrails at 6:48 - good thing they're stopping global warming over there too !
Hi Sam, i really like your videos. That is rainbow trout not salmon =) Keep it up. Greets from Sweden.
I'd be interested in what basis have you applied for residency visa. Im in the UK and our right to free travel finished with Brexit.
It was called a digital nomad visa
@samholmessailing that's the visa I was thinking about. Which country did you apply to please?
@@mikeandcheryl He said Malta earlier if you scroll up or down? 🤔
19:45 There is this snail who drives a Tesla Model S Plaid, goes really fast, everywhere he goes people say: "Look at that S car go!!"
Who’s doing the filming? Just curious😄
Whats the map app you use on the phone?
Please use a tether when on passage Sam
Epic music!
how long did that leg take?
Sam, “truite” = “trout”, not “salmon” 😂 hence why it seemed so un-salmon-like to you perhaps! Great vid as always, thank you.
Hola Sam from Texas…I love sailing videos and I keep up with a number of different channels. Do you ever watch other TH-cam sailors?
Sometimes
Hey Sam. You about ready for your clean-cut looking summer haircut? 😊
What kind of 360 camera are you using do you have a link ?
Its the insta 360 x3
