Mate, dont treat fish like that, putting them alive in a bag! Thats torture. You eather kill it right away by breaking the neck (thumb in mouth and break neck backwsrds or knife from top right in to head) or you toss it back to the ocean. That not nice and you two need to learn respect what the ocean gives. Love you movies but you two did very wrong there.
A pair of Easy Sea winch handles on sale today are $502, and change. It is nice you received them as an advertisement gift. Even more you acknowledged them as a gift. You are more honorable than some of the other utubers who instantly show the merchandise, but say nothing. Thank you for being forthcoming! Good luck with the new equipment.
Loved the sunset scene; you kept me suspended, anticipating the drone shots, then nearly dropped me off the cliff. I literally jumped back in my chair! Portugal is beautiful. Thanks for this.
Really enjoyed the article in the marine magazine. They did a really good job telling your story and how you have bounced back from some tough medical challenges. Enjoying your journey this year to the Mediterranean Steve from Tennessee.
There’s some good information on Morocco on theCruisers Forum, including that Anchoring is not permitted in Morocco, and the Coast is closely monitored by the Military. Info is a bit out of date in the posts I saw from 2010, but Melilla sounds nice and ok pricing, cheaper than Gib, but for a few Marinas there isn’t or wasn’t a charge, but not the sort of places to leave your boat unattended. A few back and forths from Gib should get you well up to speed with where to go, for refreshing EU Visa. Hope that helps give you a starting point anyway. Bob. 👍
Peniche, had a fantastic time learning how the Europeans Dine. Americans Eat, or Feed. Europeans Dine, an event that takes the entire evening. Jørgen, thanks.
Sam Gibraltar is a great place to Stopover, but make sure you can show you have checked out of EU Shengen, area before you arrive, as with trips to Morocco, you can refresh the 90 days for visiting Shengen. There’s Duty Free Fuel etc, plus a Morrisons Supermarket to Provision with. But heck with Gib when you check in what the present situation for Shengen is, as it can change. Fuel may actually be cheaper in Morocco though, so you might find out from other Boaters in Gib. Could be cheaper for a Marina in Morocco too. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 👍🏴🇬🇧🌟🌟🌟
i know that when you get really nice conditions it's hard to stop all the fun, but you should definitely have paid a visit to Lisbon, it's an awesome city. maybe next time :D fair winds!
I suppose a trip to Morocco would be a way to re-set the Schengen visa right? That is a really cool place! I bet the snorkeling is great there as well!
Hi - A recommendation Cais Ilha da Culatra - very nice and safe place for anchoring, very nice island (37-00N/7-50,50W) At the Entrance at Barra Nova strong tidal stream (enter 2h before high tide) Greetings and safe sail Alfred
Hey Sam, I'm in Saranda, Albania and have a room for you in town. I think you might be close and this is a great area of the Adriatic called the Albanian Riviera - beautiful clear, warm waters. Near Corfu, Greece as well. Stop in!
When you put sails out like the spinnaker or the preventer, it would be awesome if you explained exactly what they do before you explain why you put those up or adjust them. Just for those of us land dwellers that never touched a boat :)
Hope you will get up to the lighthouse of the Ponte de Piedade...it's amazing....so fun having followed your adventures for quite some time and now you are close to Lagos where my mom lives and my daughter is visiting from California right now 🤩
To fry smallish fish or fillets: scrape the scales off, gut them, etc. Then put them in a plastic bag, with two or three table spoons of flour, now give the bag a good shake. The fish will be caked in flour and ready for the frying pan. Crispy in the outside, moist inside. Mmmmmm!
Scene 1: bought this little sailboat for a class I intend to put together for beginners.......Scene 2: uufff, just crashed into that fishing boat, passed inches from it.........hahahahahahaha.....
The fish you caught with the green/bluey stripes are Mackeral and are caught all along the coasts of Europe and they are very tasty fresh fried up with some cereal and then some lemon juice, yum yum! It’s a much calmer death putting the fish in the bag where they easily loose consciousness and die rather than knocking them on the back of the head or cutting their throats with blood everywhere! Lovely shots of you under your glider, are you using the spinnaker as the wing? Ps., have you tried pulling the boat with one of those kite things controlled by cables? SlipRay, Kerry the Kingdom!
Well said . Sam if you read this , I stopped watching this video as soon as I read the above comment. I hunt and fish myself for food, but you owe your quarry a brief humane death every time . This really pisses me off .
In Poland We have a law that animal cruelty is punishable up to 3 year in prison.... (5 year if it's extraordinary cruelty) Isn't it that way in whole EU?
Sam, please use a "priest" or knife to put the fish out of their misery. Suffocation in a bag is not cool at all, and shows a lack of respect and knowledge of fishing, it takes a few seconds..... apart from that another great episode.
Those mackerel should’ve been bled immediately and then put on ice. I don’t really give a crap about the guy putting them in a bag but if you want that type of fish to even be remotely edible, it should be completely bled and iced immediately.
I have been following your channel with great interest for a long time. But I have a very hard time with this animal suffering. Letting fish suffer and suffocate in a bag shows a lack of respect for ocean life.
Why don't you tell your viewers where you are at? And what the little villages and seaside towns you are passing by and stopping at? Instead of just saying "I'm thinking of heading down to Gibraltar"
... and they get caught up on the "line" and get knocked over the side? Spent a couple weeks in Peniche in '86. Camped at the Bus Bar, a double-decker bus converted by a famous French footballer, Emile, who got us free fish from the fleet. YUM!!!
Two funny things: I am the guy who gave you Lingdonberry. #1 I actually originally got that little fellow because I figured it would be perfect for slinking around the sea caves up on Lake Superior. It has been into and out of "sea" caves all up through that area with great results. It's a perfect fit! #2 My wife and I happened to be in Porto last month, just a last minute trip to get away from work for the weekend. We were on Titan beach and I saw you sailing in. I though, huh, that's the same boat Sam has... and thought no more of it till I saw your last vid... Small world.
10 seconds into trying the winch handle he immediately found a design flaw / potential improvement. When you don't have real sailors try your equipment before you send to production this is what happens.
Is the camera view reversed on your video's? It looks like you passed the red navigation buoy on the port side. Isn't it red right return? Or is that just because it's a different country?
Yeah give em whack sam. But the op, the fishing industry lets fish for like that all the time ..so if you eat fish anywhere in the work you are being a bit picky
@@pervinmervin two things can be bad at once. This video is not made by the fishing industry. It’s made by Sam. People are right to give him some helpful criticism and guidance.
They don't feel like suffocating, they just feel like falling asleep. All the fish that you eat dies the same way. Do you see knife holes on the fish that you buy at the store?
On a vessel it's called a LINE, not a rope ! There is only one rule beginner sailors need to know: A sailing vessel cannot sail directly into the wind.
"If the wind is right you can sail away find tranquillity", thought you were going to burst into song..🐳🐳 chomp chomp.. I could spend a month just at that last location, beeeaauutiful.

I hope you killed those fish and didn't just leave them to suffocate?
Smooth ending. Always enjoy your videos. But don’t let the fish suffer.
Nope chop his head off and have it for dinner
Loved the sunset scene; you kept me suspended, anticipating the drone shots, then nearly dropped me off the cliff. I literally jumped back in my chair! Portugal is beautiful. Thanks for this.
That look over the cliff scared my nads. I literally flinched.
Agree with guy below, you must kill those fish straight away
Another awesome vid, Sam! Thanks so much for your work and time to present these shows! Cheers!
Enjoy watching these sailing adventures.thanks for sharing you’re travels.fair winds & calm seas 👍
Another cool Sam Holmes Sailing update. Quite the cliff hanger ending :p Thanks for sharing!
Really enjoyed the article in the marine magazine. They did a really good job telling your story and how you have bounced back from some tough medical challenges. Enjoying your journey this year to the Mediterranean Steve from Tennessee.
The beach with the caves was absolutely beautiful 😍
Thanks Sam. It’s like I’m on these adventures with you. I appreciate it.
Always a pleasure sailing along with you here. Glad u didn't have to deal w/ any angry orcas biting off your rudder!
Great vids. Man but the fish - bang them over the head not suffocate them that’s just unnecessarily cruel. BTW think they were mackerel

No time to kill that fish correctly???
Wrenching with 1 hand & steering with your foot 🤣🤣🤣, Awesome 👏👏👏👍
Another Great video Sam, Beautiful part of the world
Hello from China ,sub to ur channel for a long time,probably more fun of actual sailing than watching
the weak link in the design is the shoulder around the pin in the first knuckle. looks pretty robust. happy winch testing! :)
I'm surprised you don't have LED spots to draw less amps.
i know that when you get really nice conditions it's hard to stop all the fun, but you should definitely have paid a visit to Lisbon, it's an awesome city. maybe next time :D fair winds!
Dude you are always so awesome, keep er going!
great video
After what you did to those fish, the Orcas will be waiting for you for sure.
Think you should start catching fish and cooking them on the boat would be good to see 👌
I suppose a trip to Morocco would be a way to re-set the Schengen visa right? That is a really cool place! I bet the snorkeling is great there as well!
Id have to stay for 3months though so I’ve found another way to extend it.
Hi -
A recommendation
Cais Ilha da Culatra - very nice and safe place for anchoring, very nice island (37-00N/7-50,50W)
At the Entrance at Barra Nova strong tidal stream (enter 2h before high tide)
Greetings and safe sail
Alfred
Keeping those tiny fish?
It's not about the size of the spinnaker or the length of the pole, Sam. Don't worry! :D
Hey Sam, I'm in Saranda, Albania and have a room for you in town. I think you might be close and this is a great area of the Adriatic called the Albanian Riviera - beautiful clear, warm waters. Near Corfu, Greece as well. Stop in!
omg you have such a nice beaches i always told people its European Hawaii i would love to visit one day i agree Sam should go there
Our lead singers cousin live in Albania. He does TH-cam docs on the country. James Leithart
Watch out for them pesky orcas ! 😮
Sam, I'm looking forward to an update on your wireless wind instruments in a upcoming episode. Have fun
I’ll be getting a replacement in Barcelona so hopefully it will solve my issues. Its a great concept.
That shot of the moon over the sea by the cliffs is beautiful.
Bro you cant put alive fish in a bag. Knock them dead before at least.
A floating rock! 😂😂😂 been at sea too long maybe lol
Hopefully they where free winch arms
Thanks
Keep safe buddy best ⛵ channel on TH-cam
Did you eat the caught fish?
When you put sails out like the spinnaker or the preventer, it would be awesome if you explained exactly what they do before you explain why you put those up or adjust them. Just for those of us land dwellers that never touched a boat :)
What's that town called.?
Did you not eat the mackerel?
Wouldn’t skip Lisbon. It’s beautiful.
Hope you will get up to the lighthouse of the Ponte de Piedade...it's amazing....so fun having followed your adventures for quite some time and now you are close to Lagos where my mom lives and my daughter is visiting from California right now 🤩
Great video !! Nice catch of fish !!
Shocking treatment of fish once caught
To fry smallish fish or fillets: scrape the scales off, gut them, etc. Then put them in a plastic bag, with two or three table spoons of flour, now give the bag a good shake. The fish will be caked in flour and ready for the frying pan. Crispy in the outside, moist inside. Mmmmmm!
Perhaps explain to Sam first of all that leaving fish to suffocate is just disgusting.
when the dolfins come along side how come you don't put your camera in the water?
Because I was filming with my phone. Maybe if i use my 360 camera
Mackerel, they swim in huge schools
I think thos fish are called pejerrey and fried are incredible
Those fish are mackerel, they are great eating Sam good for you 👍 😊
Smoke ‘em on oak, eat while warm.
They deserve a swift end, not left to suffocate slowly.
When you meet someone on the water are you not suppose to exchange and item
Do u follow laws regarding fishing ect ? I doubt it 😮😂

The National Theater in Lisbon sits where the Inquisition was held for over 150 years. About 500 executions and 5000 other sentences
Why you not put the fish out of their misery. Poor buggers.
Well said . Sam if you read this , I stopped watching this video as soon as I read the above comment. I hunt and fish myself for food, but you owe your quarry a brief humane death every time . This really pisses me off .
@@thelonerizla1🤓🤓🤓
@@thelonerizla1 same here
I was wondering the same thing. Why would you put the whole live fish in a bag, instead of getting them iced down?
In Poland We have a law that animal cruelty is punishable up to 3 year in prison.... (5 year if it's extraordinary cruelty) Isn't it that way in whole EU?
Sam, please use a "priest" or knife to put the fish out of their misery. Suffocation in a bag is not cool at all, and shows a lack of respect and knowledge of fishing, it takes a few seconds..... apart from that another great episode.
I wouldn’t put the spinnaker that far forward. Eek the center of effort is wayyyy too forward. Death roll.
There should be treasure in sea caves.
Mackrel
Mackerel fish good eating love the good with chilli 🌶
Love mackerel❤
Those mackerel should’ve been bled immediately and then put on ice. I don’t really give a crap about the guy putting them in a bag but if you want that type of fish to even be remotely edible, it should be completely bled and iced immediately.
You are in the Orca zone. Overnight passage is probably a very good idea. Hope they leave you alone.
He is the 1st TH-cam sailer i ever saw put fish in a ziplock bag alive......ugghh fresh fish in a bag? Putting them in your fish tank?
WHAT AN ADVENTURE ON THIS VIDEO
Have you seen where orcas are attacking boats all around this area?
Hope the Killer Whales don't attack your Boat .
I have been following your channel with great interest for a long time. But I have a very hard time with this animal suffering. Letting fish suffer and suffocate in a bag shows a lack of respect for ocean life.
Yes, eat them alive, that way they won't die!
Then don't watch.
No were near the worst I’ve seen done to live fish.
It's actually more humane than anything else, they just lose consciousness.
@@RVmotoTravel right better than getting it’s head chopped off or hit by a fish bat a few times 😂
Is this fish cruelty a local national trait. Learn how to kill them quickly or do not show the lack of humanity.
😎
those winch handles suck
Please seek out the pirate orcas and film them sinking your boat
hope the orcas will leave you alone
Why don't you tell your viewers where you are at? And what the little villages and seaside towns you are passing by and stopping at? Instead of just saying "I'm thinking of heading down to Gibraltar"

You look like mr beast on TH-cam
Please kill the fish before putting them in that bag to suffocate.
Where is the blonde girl such a 10
Im picking her up again in Barcelona next week
suffocating fish isn't cool at all mate, put them out of their misery for pete's sake.

Thats crazy we were both in Porto! Getting loads of use out of the dinghy still. Its the perfect size and has been everywhere with me.
@@samholmessailing Can't you just pull it onto the deck instead of dragging it when inflated? Seems light enough.
Don't kill the fish don't bleed the fish... Disrespectful and ignorant.
Dude, dispatch the animal if you’re gonna eat it.
10 seconds into trying the winch handle he immediately found a design flaw / potential improvement. When you don't have real sailors try your equipment before you send to production this is what happens.
Agreed. Some sort of détente so that the handle wants to stay in position would be good - rather than being a floppy linkage.
Those poor fish! Suffered needlessly. You could’ve killed them quickly before bagging them! Disappointed, Sam.
You should prepare an offering to the orca boss for when you infringe upon his territory
This is where my parents were born and raised. I go back every year. ❤
Sam’s made me decide to grow out my hair. He looks cool. What a dude.
Rock n Roll!
Noooooo, he needs a hair cut.......SAM!!!!!!!
Stupid winch handle! Never live it in there to start with!
Is the camera view reversed on your video's?
It looks like you passed the red navigation buoy on the port side. Isn't it red right return? Or is that just because it's a different country?
For battery monitoring. Do you have to install a shunt? Which system do you have?
Suffocating fish is not cool. Bad karma. Lost sympathy points.
Your right with Mackerel you should cut their throats and bleed them immediately
Yeah give em whack sam.

I guess the plan to get to Gibraltar or Morocco is because you are limited to 90 days in the Schengen countries?
