I would strongly suggest getting name brand and weight rated shackles for your lifeline. If you fall off the boat there's going to be several hundred pounds of force on that shackle and it would be a real bummer if it failed.
Exactly I was thinking the same
Too late. Tracking has him half way to Bermuda.
I tried to point that out last week. The choice for attachment points concerned me too. The weight and the water’s drag can pull out any weak points. Having multiple points in the event one fails on impact with the water drag, speed of boat and Sam’s weight/drag…..ah! A math equation is in order. Am with you though…name brand matters with these items.
If he were a climber instead of merely a flier, diver and sailor (humor intended here), he would have more emphasis on this. But I feel he's good to go. Good luck, Sam my man.

Got a smile from me seeing the headlamp around your neck while grocery shopping. You never know when you might need it. 🤣
Had zero interest in sailing, but this channel has definitely sparked my interest. This Atlantic crossing is going to be entertaining.
It's in their deed agreement "no transients, no liveaboards" but those two restrictions make Pecan Grove the least hospitable marina I've ever heard of.
I'm left wondering what's the point in buying a slip there?
Get some tent poles and run them from corner to corner (like an X)on the Bimini to give it some dome action. And if you ever need to use it to collect water you can just remove the tent poles
You gotta be an inspiration fer one armed Sailors Everywhere!
HA! That’s great!!
Yeah, sailig singlehanded across the Atlantic is pretty impressive 😁
Looks like you're already at sea, Sam. Safe Journey!
Looks like he is half way to Bermuda - share.garmin.com/SamHolmes
Fair winds and following Seas Sam.
In most of the world, eggs aren't refrigerated. Washing them (as the US does), washes off the natural coating that keeps them from spoiling (but makes them look nice). If you coat your eggs with something like Aquafor, it seals the pores in the egg and keeps it from going bad and there's no need to take up valuable fridge space. Safe journey Sam!
So glad you were able to print up another window opening tool. They are as useful as they are cute and nice design for a logo, too!
Hey Sam. Your total refit has been wonderful to watch. Be careful and stay safe across the pond.
I know very little of proper sailing, but this is the perfect mix of honest bodging, smart approach, and simple appreciation of a job well done. Entertaining and soothing to watch
Awww, I love when Henrietta gets a shout out!
Sam, you can tie a string to a low spot on your dodger and hang it down to a water jug, and when it rains, the water will just track down the string into a water jug.
Salty from spray
and a few washings before
as likely not made kitchen /
food safe
Do sailors use mountaineering quality safety harness and shackles fittings etc? Last thing you want to break apart or worry about is the fittings and equipment re safety lines and harness etc
So far looks like he has had gentle winds and making 3-5 knots. Plotting his course of LuckGrib.
Thanks for the update!
thanks Mary 👍😁
Best of luck Sam, safe travels. I'll be thinking of you for the next 4-6 weeks.
Wishing you “fair winds on smooth seas”, and thanks for sharing.
LOVE the logo and would love to buy some merch of it!
How about some wires to give your bimini some profile to stop water accumulation?
God speed to you, have a safe fun crossing. Keep up the great work love the channel it's one of my favorites!! 👍
It's been awesome to see how much prep goes into an Atlantic crossing. Best of luck!
yeaaaaaah i just finished the last video and i was like *noooo there's no more* and i look sadly to the channel AND HERE IT IS a fresh 12 min old video (excuse my dodgy english i'm french)
You're English seems fine to me, I'm from Kentucky USA, so if I can easily understand you anybody can.
So pumped to see your upcoming videos Sam.
Your boat work videos were amazing in their own right, but can't wait to see what's coming up.
Good luck and safe travels Sam.
So stoked to watch your journey! The Hawaii trip was awesome, and I have no doubt this will be also! Thank you for sharing everything with us.
Love the way you are always positive about things. Looking forward to the adventure.
Good luck Sam! Hope you brought enough BEER.
It's funny to be watching this on the day it posted but when i checked your tracking you a well into the Atlantic on your way to Bermuda. Godspeed Sam, you are living way more than many of us dare to even dream.
Bon Voyage, Sam! I can't wait to hear all about your crossing.
Pumped for the trip. Go Sam! Loved that Henrietta reference the art 😂 a true imagineer.
Good luck Sam!! Looking forward to the journey!
Sam, what a blast this has been watching. Can't wait for the crossing.
Very inspiring Sam. I hope the winds are in your favor to keep you moving steady.
Looks like Sam is 3/4 of the way to Bermuda 🇧🇲 👍
Yep, looks heading south to avoid increasing wind late Friday
God bless your journey Sam.
If you can find fresh 'farm' eggs (ie. non-store bought) you can generally safely store them without refrigeration. Just wash them a bit before using them. It is only because the industry washes the eggs that they end up requiring refrigeration.
hell yea! I’m excited to track the sail, good luck man!
Get fiberglass camping poles . Stitch yourself some corner pockets and a center tie string to tie the two poles at an x in the center . Make sure the poles are a bit too long so they bow upwards
Good luck and have fun, Sam!
Safe sailing Sam🙏🏼. Work shop video series have been great.
I was hooked on your videos from the first time I watched you sail to Hawaii in the old boat. Stay safe man have fun
God’s speed and happy sailing.
Good Luck Sam!!! Fair winds and following seas!!!
Prayers for your safety 🙏🙏😘
Sam, I've been watching your journeys since you left for Hawaii. I wish you fair winds and following seas for this next one.
Have fun Sam. I am tracking you and it's cool to see your progress.
If you buy your eggs unwashed from a farm, you can store them at room temp for at least 21 days! In european stores, eggs are not refrigerated! That helps with the space in the cooler and you can take more eggs!
Good luck on your new adventure! I hope the trade winds bring you across safely ⛵
Just tracked you and can’t wait for the vids to come out. Wishing you safe travels 🙏
Hello Sam good to see you getting what you need to travel sail safe Sam and God bless you from Ray Garrett Roseville California USA
Awesome adventure! Good luck on your journey!
Good luck and god speed! I’ll be following.
Good luck 🍀 Sam!
Been watching for a while, Sam. You are on the odd side a bit, odd in a good way. Love your "Baby Regester." I wish you well on crossing the pond, expecting some epic videos. Be happy, be safe.
Good luck Sam!!!🤙👍
Eggs in the US need to be refrigerated because of the way they're washed diminishes the shell. European eggs don't need to be refrigerated because they're not washed to the same extent so the shell is thicker. Probably another option would be a can of powdered egg which would be fine for scrambling.
Again best of luck Sam. It was great to work with you at the shop. Bama Larry
Look forward to following your crossing. Be safe.
Looking forward to following you on this trip.
Best of luck Sam!!!
So fun. Just watched Mads on Sailing Life.
The polar opposite approach to getting ready to sail.
Have to say I dream of taking the Mads approach but relate much more to the Sam method.
Brilliant course you picked Sam, stay safe.
Good luck Sam , CHEERS !!!
Those shutters look awesome. Great design. Ahhh! My provisioning curiosity is now answered. Interesting choices on grub.
When you get to the islands and can get fresh eggs, you don’t need to refrigerate them. Fresh eggs can last for weeks without refrigeration. You could leave them out for two weeks to four weeks depending on if they have adequate air around them.
Great to see you are underway. We will patiently await your updates.
Wishing you safe passage.
Next shall we expect you to surprise us with your declaring you are going to do a non-stop Circumnavigation? You amaze us and inspire us. :)
What do you do for down time once daily projects are tended to?
The extension on the dodger is unique. Love the rain capture idea.
The design for t-shirts is impressive. Anxious for those to be sold.
Good luck Sam Holmes, I'll be watching.
Be Safe and have fun , from beautiful Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia . Looking forward to following Your adventures .
Awesome Sam have a great sail,safe sailing buddy.
Good luck! Hope it goes well!
good luck Sam!
Good luck, eggs do not have to be refrigerated if you buy them before they are refrigerated. Coating them with wax prevents breakage.
You make a man want to go sailing Sam, great channel sir!
Same here I watched his video going to Hawaii a year ago and I now own a 28 foot boat and learning it is great fun
Good luck Sam; God Speed!!
Hi Sam, you can stop the canopy from collecting water by putting a pool noodle under it! Safe sailing.
Super excited for ya!
All the best on your crossing.
Good luck Sam 👍🏽
Seas and wind look favorable out of the s-sw to Bermuda. Should be a 5-6 day sail @ 6 knts avg. Safe sailing.
Everything looks great Cap’n Holmes. Relax, keep breathing, you can do this blindfolded
Godspeed, Sam!
Thank you for sharing your videos. I think there are people that would like to do what you do, only are unable to, so they do it thru your videos. Good sailing!
ive been busy but this headline caught my attention stay safe SAM from your friends in Golden Valley AZ.
Another Sam friend! I am in Tucson.
Much success awaits. And I am waiting.
Good luck sailing!
Good luck Sam
Bon voyage, Sam!
Bon Voyage, Sam!
Show us more of the food! What's in the cans!?!
Good luck Sam. Safe sailing
Safe travels!
Yves chouinard was/is a climber & blacksmith. He invented/created equipment (pitons, etc) in camp as first ascents were happening in Yosemite during the 60s. The rest, as they say, is history.
The point being, Sam can think, design and create equip as real time, real world needs dictate.
All it takes is a clever, nifty do dad that every sailor needs to really get the ball rolling. Just make sure you have a good patent atty.
Lookin' forward to buying that shirt, Sam!
A fellow sailor and I were talking about your channel the other day. He saw your big island trip but missed the one before your surgery. I sent him back to see how bad ass you really are.
Safe travels Sam
Sam.... use your head dude. Don't skimp on those buckles.... of all things not your life saving device.
Can you imagine doing that and falling off... one of them breaking and you watch your boat fly away....
Can you imagine the regret. Treading water just waiting to die....
God bless you Sam. In Jesus precious name ❤....
Too much lubricant is one reason winches can keep getting dirty, makes dust stick & i would try attaching the canvas to the top of the dodger, maybe it would help limit water from rain/waves dribbling down between the current gaps between the dodger and canvas.
Dirt sticks to a little smear of grease. If you pack it with grease, the dirt can't get in.
Love what you are doing. If you can find unwashed farm eggs in the future then you can keep them out of the fridge. Save some fridge space!
I'm envious. Enjoy.
Those window screens are impressive!
The boat logo you drew is really nice!
I had fall over board. I was on lifeline. Boat was sailing about 6 knots. It was impossible for me to climb back on deck. The force of water was to big. If I was alone or no one seen this I would be drowned.
It's clearly something you should try under safe conditions, to see how bad it is.
Sending positive vibes for a safe passage!
