11 days Solo Sailing to Ireland - Those whales got close!

hey sam random question, what is that gimbal like mount you have for your jetboil called? I want one for my sailboat. I saw it in one of your episodes and meant to ask

Such an intelligent dude man.

I think the Gulf streem passes that way between Wales and Ireland!

Forget the Whales, you should have gone to Wales, the most beutiful and unique of all the Celtic nation in the British Isles.

I would be bored lonely and desperate. But it’s fabulous to watch. God bless you.

I am addicted to thus channel.

The charm and chill of this man in all conditions is amazing!

Hey PS are you afraid of rogue waves. 😮

I noticed you have quite a lot of these videos that you made it's totally amazing you are amazing I don't know how you do it I'd be scared to heck but anyways good for you and it's very interesting to see thanks for making these. 😊

vodka in the freezer?

man those whales seem like they were greeting you and guiding you i’m glad you cherished that moment and appreciated it like you did

You should share a little of your interactions locals when you get in port. It would be interesting to see the conversations. I'm glued to your videos.

This video is epic in such a level that mortals can't fathom.
You sailed 1700 miles to get a pissed on pints at the pub and you didn't even tell customs you arrived?
Hats off to you sir!

I was scared when you jumped in with the dolphin whales and when you played the Jason Michaels music made me even more scared. Great video!

You are one of a kind Same. Keep living the dream.

Great to see the Pilot Whales swimming so close, and so many. Well done mate on a great crossing on a modest sized boat. It's always inspiring. I currently live on a fairly big motor yacht but my last boat was a 23ft Sailing Boat and she was great fun and actually felt safer than the motorboat. Keep up the good adventures..

What type of whale was that?

Nice, Sam! You must spend houirs edting your videos ..... all that time you spend is well woerhwhile. The content is outstanding!! The pilot whales were a nice unexpected touch.

You arrived into Kinsale where I live. James and Charles Forts are a site to see when you come into port. We race out just past there. Sorry I missed you!! I own the Giants Cottage on Chairman's Lane. I hope you enjoyed your stay.

turns out nobody had covid

Do you ever worry about Somali pirates?

Excuse my ignorance but is wifi / internet easy for you to get at sea?is it satelite?

Novice question but presume rope is on tiller to hold it in roughly same direction. How much slack are you putting in to this

dream life

That took a lot of guts to jump in the open water with multiple whales/orcas ? Especially after seeing they have been attacking boats and acting abnormally lately. Much respect

I just started sailing - purchase a little Laser 2 Dingy- really enjoying your videos.
I like the bags on your sail for the line - give me some ideas.
TY

“Kinda want to swim with these guys”
3 seconds later jumps in.
So much good energy from all your videos Sam. Dreamer & Doer ❤️

I would love to know what storm/privacy shutters Sam has on his portlights there. Can't seem to find anything equivalent by googling.

Awesome, mate! Congrats, 💥💫

Glad I found your channel I live in Jensen Beach Im considering buying a small sail boat and learn the art of sailing maybe I will runn into you promise ill put my bumpers out lol

Great Vid - as usual 👍🇨🇦🍺🍺

All i could envision was the anchor dropping onto your bare toes 😅

Is there any rules for boat condition sailing across the oceans ?

Great Sam,what is the model of your sailboat?

I like it! If I had any piece of advice to you is try to read the Quran. You'll like it. Peace.

Dead mile failte(100,000 welcomes) to the Celtic Islands and to the auold sod Sambo. “Caitner na daoine Le chéile ach ní caiter na cnoic”. It is an old Irish greeting meaning that “the people do meet but the mountains are always apart(and lonely)”. Sailed out of Kinsale for a few years but am based in the “real Ireland” which is all to the “wesht” of Kinsale! Another old Irish saying, “Wesht is besht”. See u in Kerry sometime Sam, SkipRay, Kenmare Bay, Western Ireland.

i like how expressive your smile is. you're always positive.

And to think the old ways of thinking was to retire when your 60 so you can sail the world lol It looks to me to be a lot of upkeep even for a younger buck

You should put a camera under your solar panels covering the cockpit that would permanently display your mast in the cabin on a monitor, so that you wouldn't have to go out in the rain anymore just to check your sail. I'm sure you could think of some more places on your boat too, that you should keep permanent cameras and even lights to monitor things on your boat in the cabin of your boat as it would be more economically frugal when it came to nap time.. Not to make you lazy though..

What device was he using to know that other boat trajectory?

W0W!

Love this channel

What sort of boat is this?

/Does he not poop or shower?

Fantastic bro welcome to my home land 🇮🇪💚 the calmness ofcyou bro is amazing to watch.

I've been on the hard for a few years... I've had a fifty y.o.60-foot cold-molded sloop for twenty years named Passion. I thoroughly enjoyed your video and lived vicariously through your sail...

I hope you have Elon internet by now?
