1. total stunning edition~see ya.

2. Figure out your naturalization of the sound… Mr. Holmes.

3. Thanks!

4. You want to sail the Southern Ocean someday? Pickle has done you well, but no to that ocean. Agreed?

5. Hey Sam, love your videos. Wondering what the cylindrical looking tape drum is, at the rear of the boat?

6. Sam if you do the southern tips, pick me. That sounds like picking waves, sails and seasons. lol 
   Would you do a short segment on the distance you have done? Im sure you are past half way around the wold.

7. "I'm ready to sail… somewhere else!" LMFAO

8. We had a hard rule on our 34 foot Sadler. . .under 4 knots and we fired up the Iron Genny. . .guarenteed (kind of) at least a 4 knot speed for dead reckoning. . .before GPS. . ., but it was a good rule. . .It made you keep enough fuel, keep you engine running well and dependable, and got you places before your food and water ran out. . . .Love the look of your boat under heavy sail!

9. Good one Sam. Making forward progress for a date with your GF.
   No wind doldrums inspires Sam to make repairs to his boat out of sheer boredom.
   I'd still replace those suspect motor mounts when you get the chance to do so Sam.
   Cheap Chinese made snap shackles, nah I'll just repair the old one. We're good.
   Can some patron please send Sam a care package with a new U.S. flag enclosed.

10. Oh shoot, I forgot about the engine issue. . .Ugh. . .I know Slokum (and many others) didn’t have engines but. . .If they were available (and fuel) and were dependable, I don’t think they would have forsaken modern tech.

11. Sam, are sailing a Cape Dory 27?

12. Sam sounded like a Nascar Driver in the beginning of the video 🤣🤣

13. Famous last words : “I wish the lighting would bring me some wind”
    I think you got it.

14. Thanks!

15. 👍❤

16. Sam, if I were you, After Greece I'd turn and head back across the Atlantic, or stay there longer. 😊
    That water looks to be a beautiful dark blue. Just beautiful in Greece.

17. To be fair video diminishes wave heights. 😊

18. All I know about Corfu is that the (in)famous Durrell family grew up there.

19. Just another “Sunday afternoon sail” in the world of Sam Holmes 😂

20. ⚡️am rules

21. OK, now I know that eventually, you will video yourself going round Cape Horn, Real Stuff! I can't wait to see it 🙂

22. 908th LIKE, 5730th view about to set sail…

23. When are you heading to fiji Islands

24. Wicked Sam, thanks.

25. That water reminds me of my home country of Bermuda. I moved away a long time ago and miss that crystal clear blue water. Great video Sam.

26. I guess it makes sense why it took 10 years for Odysseys to make the same trip you are doing.

27. You're an inspiration! Thanks, and congratulations on living a good life. 🙂

28. 4:39 “I am going to sail the Southern Ocean, see some real stuff ONE Day”, I am now watching forever 🎉🎉🎉

29. Some crazy weather in the Mediterranean. I'm a north pacific person. Never a shortage of wind, but storms are somewhat predictable.

30. Good video Sam, lots of interesting shots, unlike your competition, your videos are never boring. With regard to being becalmed without an engine, (I’m sure you’ll fix the alignment bug) you might want to scare up a pair of long sweeps and rig them so you can row from the cockpit. The old catboats in NE always had sweeps aboard

31. GLAD YOU ARE RUNNING THAT MOTOR. GOT TO KEEP THE OIL LUBING EVERYTHING.

32. You should be nominated as number one sailing channel in YouTube.real raw non of the crap you see on most of this channel’s . Thank you for posting.

33. What is the Sam Holmes approved sunscreen? After months of sailing, you still were not burnt

34. "Cheap chinese ones"..LMAO!! Good on ya Sam🤙

35. Thanks for the advice on the shackles. What is your contingency plan should the bellows of the pss dripless water shaft seal rupture?

36. greta o see how much you were enjoying the sailing when there was decent wind. I am really enjoying these slightly longer videos too. Keep em coming:)

37. From the looks of Sam, I can't help but think he might break into a sermon at any moment. Perhaps I'm wrong.

38. Awesome video. I tried to upgrade my Patreon membership and it didn't give me any new levels.

39. Sam, please get a professional boat mechanic to install very good engine mounts. Penny wise (lee cloth) and pound foolish (engine mounts)?

40. Just mix up some JB weld an apply a little dab to those key chain split rings they probably just spot weld then normally but a little steel reinforced epoxy will keep them from coming off

41. On your engine after you replace the faulty engine mounts if it still seems a little rough remove your injectors and check that they both have the same pop open pressure and that the spray pattern is cone shaped next time you get on the hard or in the off season diesels misfire like gas engines do but not in the exact same way and unless your crankshaft somehow became unbalanced or a bad harmonic balancer pulley which I highly doubt then any engine vibration that is excessive is probably due to an imbalance in one of your two cylinders firing either because of a injector timing issue or a faulty spray pattern from a dirty injector nozzle ect… think of it like a bad spark plug in a gas engine causing a cylinder to misfire and how that causes a rough running engine shaking engine. That is one benefit to the Yanmar 1GM10 or any other single cylinder diesels for that matter is that if only has one injector you never have to worry about a possible injector balance problem but those one cylinder engines shake and are very noisy even when everything is working right mainly because you cannot balance a one cylinder engine and the more cylinders you have in any engine the smoother it will run due to less degrees between power impulses on the crankshaft and assuming everything is operating properly which means all cylinders have to be creating equal amounts of energy at the right time or else you wind up with a rough shaky basically similar to a misfiring rough running annoying engine. Hopefully the shaking that I am seeing in your engine is only due to those shot engine mounts though so wait until you replace those and reset your shaft alignment before you think about what I am saying here. Also check that you don't have an injector fuel line loose and allowing a small fuel air leak that is like having a intermittently bad spark plug wire on a gas engine similar to the way while you bleed the injectors while the engine is running on larger diesels when you crack open the injector lines to let the air out you can feel the loss of power from that cylinder which is normal and on gas engines you can pull off a spark plug wire on older cars that had them and look for a RPM drop and that RPM drop should be the same for all the cylinders in the engine this is called a cylinder power balance check and it a fast way to find out which cylinder is under performing or completely inoperative OFC when your engine only has two cylinders you will notice right away if you completely lose one of them 100%. But on a V-8 you wont notice it sometimes at all but you could still have one cylinder that is not producing full power in your two cylinder engine also which will cause a vibration since diesel engines power production is based off of how much fuel gets injected at the right time that is where you have to look. Also you can do a compression test before you dive deeply into the fuel system because one cylinder being low on compression can cause similar issues also and this test is simple and doesn't require too much disassembly Id probably do this test first. You can do a basic compression test by cranking the engine over by hand and going by the feel of each cylinder and also when you are cranking the engine over even with the starter motor the speed the engine is turning should stay relatively even if it sounds like it is speeding up then slowing down that might mean low compression on one of your cylinders this is a non intrusive none scientific method but it is quick and dirty and if you really pay attention to how your engine sounds over time you can hear when something is changing or about to go wrong a lot of times.

42. Thanks!

43. Get a haircut hippy!

44. Grande Sam

45. Ellebogen makes nice reproductions of the Yanmar engine mounts. I put them on my 3gm. They ship from Spain I believe.

46. What is the name of that wind speed and direction sensor for the phone?

47. As he waited for the shower to warm, he noticed that he could hear water change temperature.

48. Someone I know recently combined Maple Syrup & buttered Popcorn thinking it would taste like caramel popcorn. It didn’t and they don’t recommend anyone else do it either.
