A huge 'THANK YOU' to the generous Swedes who helped my kid out... from the time he arrived last winter until he set sail a couple days ago. Olf and his family were a tremendous help, along with lots of others. Thank you ❤️
Another proper episode of Sam Holmes Sailing where we see more holes drilled in the boat!!!! Great video Sam and it is good to see Pickle back in the water for more adventures. Thanks for sharing!
This repair/maintenance series is amazing. The problem solving skills, people helping each other out, and just generally putting things in order, this is kind of wholesome content I need.
Whenever I see your videos I am reminded that kindness and respect for others are the cornerstones of what makes us better people. Wishing you all bodily health and happiness.
Thanks for your videos my friend. It's a trip watching everything required for boat things. Some day maybe I'll give up corporate life. You're a great role model. :)
Watching you go back in the water made me happy, man. Good sailing, and may you have interesting times, and may you meet more nice folks along the way.
looking forward to the baltic. i'm canadian but i lived in klaipeda (lithuania) for 2 1/2 years. not many sailing channels do the baltic so i can't wait. good luck and thnx.
Great to see Sam and the P-Herring back in the water. Sam again busy drilling holes in ALL the boats, with his trusted teacher and guide, Obi-Wan Ryobi. "Jubel !"
Hello Sam good to see you back on the water again it's been awhile. And thanks to all your friends helping you get it back in the water they're awesome people. Anyway enjoy your trips you take stay safe one day I'll be out there doing the same thing
I am always inspired by the kindness of others, Keep up the great work. It's always the kind souls that shine the brightest.. May the wind always be at your back and your sails full ..
You got me wanting to sail so bad but i have no clue about it. I love watching your videos down in Mississippi. Keep sailing and ill paddle my canoe 😂😁
The life I wanted but everything involving sails and or boats in my life never ended well. Sailing camp for example, sailed right into a hurricane which snapped the mast and of course the pusher engine didn't work. Hurricane David, Chesapeake Bay Gloucester Sailing School. The Snark I got later is even better/worse. Did I mention I've been on three boats that sunk too?
Sam shows the reality of life on the sea, but makes it look easy. You must devote 110% of your attention and energy to be successful and SAFE! Remember the Rule of Three: you can survive 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without warmth, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food. The knowledge required to do this in a tiny boat on a huge sea is incredible; a phd in life skills!
The boat is where is should be, on the water. You can almost see a smile on the boat. Have a great day and keep us informed of all your adventures. Thank you and have a great day.
Welcome to Finland if you can make it! Maybe we will see you at the sea who knows. I'm going to buy sailboat again next weekend after a no boat for a year. Thanks for your videos they are a good motivation and fun to watch!
Sam, once you’re in the Baltic Sea you should definitely explore the archipelago of southeast Sweden (Ronneby and Karlskrona). Heaven on earth this time of year!
Sam, nice to see you and the Herring on the european water again. For next time, please use some footage from the mast-cam. Very curious. Thanks and say hello to all your scandinavian friends. Big help!
I'm amazed you allowed your boat to be lifted without straps connecting the fore and aft slings, boats slip out all the time without them 🙁 Glad you got back in safely. Beautiful journey 😍
Smaco also has a compressor and a larger/small tank. I'm buying it when my boat is ready. They need to give you a compressor to try as well, so I can see how it does, before I buy ;)
I really appreciate you Sam, Thank you for your kind thoughtful nature,knowledge and generosity sharing everything.Your living the life I wish to live... I'm in Denver,CO trying to come up with an exit strategy to be able to start this journey for myself.Not shure how it's to unfold.I'm handy,I can sail a dingy single handed in most weather,lol. I know I have to step up and live the life to learn the direct lessons I want and need but your channel helps me considerably in realistic ways.I admire you bro,thanks again. Best,Steve
I hope the cameras work out for you. I put 2 very similar on my MoHome and the one on the rear did great as it;s somewhat protected, but the one on the left side mirror bracket takes the driving rain and has moisture trapped in it. Hope you have better luck. Good to see you back under way.
Smacco! I should do a review. The cheap o regular worked for my hooka set up. The rest is taking up space on my boat, but I keep it around just in case I need to jump in the water for an emergency and not have enough air.🥴
I made my choice in expensive fun with a paramotor, but sailing the seas with just the sound of wind and wave, surviving and having time to explore and think...sounds awfully appealing.
Hi Sam thanks for your lovely videos. You should visit my home Island Bornholm called the Pearl of the Baltic. All small harbours around the northern tip are beautifulls.
Helsingør Denmark is a very nice sea side town with a historic castle and maritime museum, a good stop on the way down to Copenhagen. Also can highly recommend the Danish island of Bornholm as you head toward the Baltic Sea later in your travels.
The Baltic will be special I'm sure, it is my home waters. It can offer both challenge and enjoyment on par with the Atlantic. Let me know if you are near Norrköping or Söderköping (the latter requires going through the channel named Göta Kanal though).
Is that prop shaft a press fit? Did you just mallet it on? I've seen a couple of vids of cutless bearing replacements and it looks like an absolute ball-ache of a job. The people you meet in your videos are just fantastic.
If anyone is thinking of using a reversing camera for this sort of thing, they often have a 'mirror' function by default, which you need for reversing. I was trying to do a RC boat FPV, and seemed like a nice cheap waterproof solution. BOTH the cameras I got online claimed to have a normal/mirror function, but both very much did not. the third camera I got from a local car store, so I could open it and make 100% sure it did. 3x the price, but actually useful. just something to be aware of. and yes, FPV on a small brushless RC boat is awesome fun, the sensation of speed is insane!
Ive got some bad news for you. That "perfectly machined" mating surface on your ceramic prop shaft seal... that has to have water to keep it cool and lubricated. Without it, its going to fail very quickly. Its the same seal style used in water pumps, and first thing they tell you is to never run it while its dry.
How do you organize gear on a boat so that it's properly stored and you can find it when you need it? I can't even keep my shit together in a 1400sf house! lol
1st get rid of 1300sf 95% on your way to figuring that out. I keep dragging land junk on my boats, anything your not using is junk. What your using will get simpler to organize once it’s not under junk. I am learning, Yarvind helps.
You mentioned Danish islands. I guess you are dropping off to Anholt island as you go down the Swedish West coast. The island I love and have been sailing there many times.
A huge 'THANK YOU' to the generous Swedes who helped my kid out... from the time he arrived last winter until he set sail a couple days ago. Olf and his family were a tremendous help, along with lots of others. Thank you ❤️
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You are welcom, we loved having him around.
@@wulflarsson2331 What is the name of this town?
I love how how welcoming and friendly people seem to have been
That’s your kid? Proud, you must be!

Sam is one of two sailing channels I like to watch.......the other is about a family, this is about a solo sailor!.......😉
The 3D scan image was a work of art. It looks so awesome all incomplete like that. You need to put that on a t-shirt
Thanks for your videos my friend. It's a trip watching everything required for boat things. Some day maybe I'll give up corporate life. You're a great role model. :)
As for winches: quality grease on gears, good oil on the pawls and needle bearings.
Watching you go back in the water made me happy, man. Good sailing, and may you have interesting times, and may you meet more nice folks along the way.
Wish I was as cool as Sam Holmes. You the man! Thanks for sharing. Great Adventures! 🥰
Yes ! Another Sailing with Sam Holmes season ! Safe travels and please post often
looking forward to the baltic.
i'm canadian but i lived in klaipeda (lithuania) for 2 1/2 years.
not many sailing channels do the baltic so i can't wait.
good luck and thnx.
Really like your choice to sail Northern waters in the summer.
Great to see Sam and the P-Herring back in the water. Sam again busy drilling holes in ALL the boats, with his trusted teacher and guide, Obi-Wan Ryobi. "Jubel !"
Hello Sam good to see you back on the water again it's been awhile. And thanks to all your friends helping you get it back in the water they're awesome people. Anyway enjoy your trips you take stay safe one day I'll be out there doing the same thing
Good to see the Pickle back in its normal environment!.........It's always a work in progress!
love it!!! I also love how you show all the repairs as it better shows the true reality of the sailing life
Awesome. Glad to see you’re back in the water.
Keep us posted on the backup camera idea. Absolutely brilliant
I am always inspired by the kindness of others,
Keep up the great work. It's always the kind souls that shine the brightest..
May the wind always be at your back and your sails full ..
Love headsail the pre-feeder. One of the best tips I ever got. Crucial for a single-hander.
I just love the style and feel of your videos. Wholesome, real, great camera work, the list goes on... Thank you for another enjoyable episode.
You got me wanting to sail so bad but i have no clue about it. I love watching your videos down in Mississippi. Keep sailing and ill paddle my canoe 😂😁
Good fixes. Happy you're back sailing.
great to see Pickled Herring back in the water! great video Sam
Sailing the Baltic should be epic, I’ve considered doing the same myself so will be watching eagerly 👍
Your are roaring along, but calm& happy sailing again. Looking forward to your sailing tour vids. Good health to you.
You looked very happy to have Pickled Herring in the water and sailing! New adventures!
You are living the life. Watching from the high desert in Utah . Love your adventures.
Take care man and be safe out there - thanks for posting these. Super interesting.
I really enjoy the boat projects, but I also really like the sailing. So, just keep doing what you are doing!
Owning a sea going vessel is ALWAYS going to involve boat projects - which for Sam, involves using the drill!
You are the Inspector Gadget of the sailing community!! Congratulations on the launch.
The life I wanted but everything involving sails and or boats in my life never ended well. Sailing camp for example, sailed right into a hurricane which snapped the mast and of course the pusher engine didn't work. Hurricane David, Chesapeake Bay Gloucester Sailing School.

stay away from the sea
Seems like Poseidon doesn't like you.. Are you a distant relative of Perseus by any chance? :D
@@snarkylive I live on an island.
Hope you are a good swimmer

Congratulations on launching. I am envious.i hope all goes well. Our boat has been out for 4 years now, I can stay well long enough to finish it.

Very much enjoy following you, Sam. Glad to see the boat back in the water. Safe travels!
Thanks for great video.
You havw smazing ses boat.
Never see so small and so roomy indide boat in Scandinavia.
Nothing better than getting back in the water.
Happy to see you back on the water. Keep your great videos coming:)
Sam you are doing so well. I really enjoy your videos and hope you have a great cruise!
I dident know where in Sweden you where until i saw the towing car. Man i live on the same island haha. Love your channel.
Safe sailing Sam! Looking forward to another season!
You're doing such a good job bud. You're Inspiring the world!!! Proud of you!!
the boat looks good..be safe on your travels
Great work! Hope to see you in Arkösund.
good to see you in the water and not on a Hobie
Congrats on being back into the water
Looks like you have your work cut out for you, good luck and I look forward to seeing your next journey.
Yaaaah...back in the water and more adventures!
I really appreciate you Sam,
Thank you for your kind thoughtful nature,knowledge and generosity sharing everything.Your living the life I wish to live...

Glad to see you back on the Cape Dory!
Great video. Glad to see you back in the water.
Good to see you are back in the water!!
Still following your adventures. Ever thinking of coming to the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns Australia
So nice to see Pickle back in the water
Ha det så bra :D
Good trip, planning to go where not many people cruise, visiting Estonia and Latvia would be nice.
Thanks!
The mumbling is an interesting concept. I don't think I have ever seen or heard mumbling quite like it before. I couldn't understand a single word.
I hope the cameras work out for you. I put 2 very similar on my MoHome and the one on the rear did great as it;s somewhat protected, but the one on the left side mirror bracket takes the driving rain and has moisture trapped in it. Hope you have better luck. Good to see you back under way.
Some great additions for you. You’ve given me some ideas too.
the scuba kit is cool. Do a good bit on that I really want one!
smacosports.com/products/smaco-s700-2l-scuba-tank?ref=2lkz63ow0k&sub_id=samholmes
I’ll try to fill it in Copenhagen
Oh yeah, come to Finland! :)
Really great idea with the car cameras, I hope they hold up well for you!
Smacco! I should do a review. The cheap o regular worked for my hooka set up. The rest is taking up space on my boat, but I keep it around just in case I need to jump in the water for an emergency and not have enough air.🥴
What ever you do!!! Sail to a sauna!!!! - Have fun Sam!!!
Wonderful wonderful Copenhagen
A lot of marinas won't let you stay without an onboard septic tank. Something to consider for any cruiser.
Ive not run into any issues with marinas yet. I will report if i ever do.
Awesome friends bud. ⛵❤️👍
503rd upward thumb-of-approval awarded. How many holes will it take to fill this boat with holes?
I made my choice in expensive fun with a paramotor, but sailing the seas with just the sound of wind and wave, surviving and having time to explore and think...sounds awfully appealing.
I guess Paul McCartney might have been wrong when he sang that 'Sailor Sam' will never be found!
Congrats sam. Safe travels.
Can’t wait for more videos!!!
Hi Sam thanks for your lovely videos. You should visit my home Island Bornholm called the Pearl of the Baltic. All small harbours around the northern tip are beautifulls.

Sam has passed Helsingør, right now he is in port at Flakfortet
Good for you.
The Baltic will be special I'm sure, it is my home waters. It can offer both challenge and enjoyment on par with the Atlantic. Let me know if you are near Norrköping or Söderköping (the latter requires going through the channel named Göta Kanal though).
Thank you for taking old people raising grandchildren!
These are the ones I like.
Watching this, I feel like part of my life that was on hold has now resumed.
Congratulations! PH looks 👍
awesome projects vid, Sam!
Is that prop shaft a press fit? Did you just mallet it on? I've seen a couple of vids of cutless bearing replacements and it looks like an absolute ball-ache of a job. The people you meet in your videos are just fantastic.
I always use a snorkel when I explore the bottom.
Go to Bornholm, it is the coolest island of Danmark and has the finest sandy beaches and smoked herring!
Great video always super cool and interesting 👍 great job 👏

Mine had an option to switch off the mirroring on the monitor

I’m surprised it’s not cheaper keeping it at the harbor, all the trucks, cranes, etc, can’t be cheap
