![JAN MAYEN: Most People Don’t Know This Island Exists. - Sailing Uma [Step 291]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/XBozJ4Li6ck/mqdefault.jpg)
Never got bored watching you guys with all the trips, passages. The chemistry you both have always makes me smile. Take care.
Any meteoroligist for waves must be a swell guy !
😂
I think he is called a sailor.
Arrrgh! 🤣
Why did the tomato turn dark red?
It saw the salad... dressing.
Google: Clean silly jokes or clean silly knock-knock jokes (AKA, bad dad jokes).
Great torture for friends and family, co-workers, the grocery store or bank clerks, etc.
You can tell them to your Pastor or Priest, grandparents and grandkids and not worry about what comes out of your mouth.
It's a job that has it's ups n downs....
@@clewerhillroad Aps 'n dunes .
I cannot imagine spending two years - 2 years ! - in cold, humid temperatures, even way north the artic cyrcle !
And I am a Québécois, used to darn cold winters and storms !
Bravo, kiddos. You're 2 tough cookies !
BTW Explore Brest for me. My ancestor left it for our Nouvelle France in... 1720, to never going back to his homeland.
La Bretagne is well known for it's tough, resilient sailors and explorers through the ages. Still nowadays. Just like you two.
You'll be among your peers, no doubt !
Given that big waves don’t usually show up on camera very well, those in The English Channel looked massive on screen, so they must have been enormous in person.
Kika, Your expression, when you were trying to remember 4 days of sunshine, was priceless!
Is’nt she lovely ! A sweetheart. Daniel is a lucky guy !
@@marcryvon She definitely is! And he is very lucky!
Congrat 400.000 , you are the best, i thought you where " crasy " at meetup bergen, you going to north of norway in september, stay winter in north of Norway, then go to Svalbard last year. Thank you, making the best sail channel on RUclips. Fair winds, cheers, take care.
I meet them in Ålesund. They are absolutely insane 👌🏽
Dan and Kika sailed Uma to Jan Mayen, on the way to Svalbard.
Jan Mayen is an Island, part of Norway, first time i have ever seen a video from Jan Mayen.
Fair winds, cheers and take good care , Lars, Norway
Isle of Man.. famous for the annual motorcycle races. On my bucket list.
I hate that I discovered your channel - and more importantly: your advice - decades after having bought a couch... To the youngsters watching this channel, and who are reading this, listen up: Once you've bought that couch, it becomes incredibly hard to get rid of. Never let go of your independence, and never go a year without adventure. For God's sake, don't swap your freedom for money. I've had a great career so far, and I make plenty of money... but I miss simplicity, this is complicated. That's what I love so much about Dan and Kika's videos: they are in places where anyone would be uncomfortable, but even in a squall beating to windward, I can see a smile on each of their faces. Like they know... they get it: no amount of money, and no amount of comfort and security will make you as happy as the ability to spread your wings and go over a horizon if you so choose.
Dan and Kika: you're amazing at what you do. The tenderness you have for each other is worthy of being jealous of. I suspect it is something that is born out of sharing a life together the way you are. You are in each other's company all the time. I suppose it can be the cause of some friction as well - that would be normal. The point is that you guys are amazing to each other, as well as to your viewers. Thanks for being so open and for letting us share your adventures - even if it is from a wretched couch... for now! Lots of love from my house to yours.
Awe! Thanks mate!!
"we are going to stop in Brest for a few Days". yeah... Keep that in mind for the next episodes 😁If I hadn't seen the morning Reports, which you can get on Patreon btw., I wouldn't have noticed how long that trip from Scotland to France actually took.
The crossing was 2.5 years ago?! No way it feels like it was last month! I’ve been here since uma came to be, proud of you both congrats on the 400k!!
LOVE this episode. I like that you included some clips from older morning Reports in there . For those of us who have been watching the MRs from the beginning, it puts everything into perspective. I Also love it even more after watching today's Morning Report on Patreon with the story behind this episode!
Kudos you two! Keep up the great work.
Those were very gnarly-looking waves! The first time I ever felt like Uma was so small. LOL And the sunsets were magnificent.
Thats so cool to sail all the way from Scotland to France!
As well as I love following your sailing adventures, I also truly appreciate watching you be so loving and playful towards each other. The "chemistry" of everything that is "Sailing Uma" is actually quite special. Lots of love! 🙂👍
400.000!!!! Congratulations on reaching yet another milestone :)
I don't know how they don't have millions! they are the best sailing youtubers out there!
@@barryjohnson5064 sailing la vagabond only got so many followers because Gretha Thunberg hitched a ride ;-)
You said it Dan ..... It never gets old !! Congrats on your 400,000 ! Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
I went back to your first episode and it brought me happy tears of how far you guys have came! So awesome
Somewhat bizarrely the start of this, blustery rain blown, everythign swilling in rain water makes me miss Scotland and Scotish diving (especially the dolphin shots :-)!) Closing your "North Atlantic/Arctic Ocean loop" was a great achievment!
Your production quality is absolutely top-notch. Excellent videography, editing and content. Well done!!!!
Seeing your last video saddened us. Not in the way you might think. We discovered your channel when an episode, Step 288, appeared on our screen. We watched and immediately started at the beginning. We've watched 3 to 4 episodes a day as we'd eat breakfast or lunch. It took us a while but we reached Step 307 this afternoon..... After watching multiple episodes....we how have to wait for the next one...and that makes us sad. We've owned 4 sailboats, starting with a 22ft and finishing with a 37 ft Hunter Cutter. That marks a span of 41 years. We sold Encore in Dec 2019. It began to be a chore to prep and launch. Seems a 37ft hull gets 3ft longer each spring as I waxed it twice. We really enjoy your adventures and wish you many more years of passage making. BTW this episode had you a motoring in a Scottish canal. We followed another RUclips channel, Silver Foxes as they cruised many UK canals in their narrow boat. They also contained interesting information about the area they cruised, including the Scottish canals. Stay safe out there. Jim and Jan
Greetings from Ireland!
Wonderful place! I was in Brest France in June of 1994 with the US Navy. Enjoy!
You sailed straight by Ireland after we put on four days of sunshine to welcome you!
Great post my friends. Stay free, strong, happy and healthy. 🌞🌴⛵
Bienvenue en France les amis ! 👍🙌
En Bretagne :-p
Pas faux 😂
Just sailed across the Adriatic from Croatia to Italy in similar conditions - 120nm in large 10ft rolling seas with 30 - 40 knots of wind - and you do it with such calm!
Hi Kika, for your own customise ear plugs search up 'ear putty'. It's mouldable silicone or it can be made of bees wax, we use when swimming here in New Zealand. I think you can find it most places, it might do the trick. Great episode as usual. Many thanks : )
I’m 60 now and to old to start a journey like this, wish i had done this earlier. Well done you two 👍
I have watched you guys for YEARS. I started watching when y’all were remodeling UMA. I have never not enjoyed y’all’s videos. Y’all bring me a certain level of calmness, and kind of tranquility. Thank you both so much for sharing your lives with us.
2.5 years? That does not compute... This is a strange sensation... I would call it a time compressed memory.. I think I started watching your channel during covid lock down.. it feels to me like much less than 2 years ago since you crossed the Atlantic.
Thanks for the escape.
From Australia…we love watching you’re journey, you always bring such joy to our day and we can’t wait to see the next episode! Thank you so much!
12:00 silicone or wax soft moldable reusable earplugs often sold for kids swimming, also blocks sound just as well as the foam cone-shaped earplugs.
Brest is my hometown! Can't wait to see what you guys did here! I hope you guys had an amazing stay there, thanks for sharing your dreamy adventures!
If you go to Crosshaven in Ireland and Crosshaven boat yard ask around for Hugh Mockler. He is a great guy and will help you with anything you may need. Tell him Chris and Alex said to look him up.
He will help you with anything
Really Really Really REALLY! love you guys. All the best.
Dammmmmm..... I'm going to the isle of man tomorrow... Motorcycle races....!!!
Hello Kika and Dan! If you're planning to go or if you are in Southern Spain, I can show you a bit around if you want. I live where the first trip around the world started and finished just 500 years ago.
You guys are so brave. These waves were pretty high.😍
Best earplugs ever is Tic Tac. The pliable stuff you use to put posters up on a wall. No discomfort and it works like a charm.
completely agree on earplugs causing discomfort while sleeping. I'd recommend checking out Flare Audio's product line. I have an older version from them that's no longer produced and have been happily using them for years
Thanks you started my morning ,we had the same breakfast.
Next time you see dolphins, press your ear to the hull (or probably even just a solid bit of the decking). I promise it will make you happy! :) I have a 40 year old 4.3m fiberglass racing catamaran converted into an electric fishing barge, and have been visited by them in the Port River in South Australia. They have a lot of chat to offer! It might make for a nice recording to share. I love your work.
You hit 400k subs. WoW I remember when you had only a few thousand. Congratulations.
Hopefully, by now you've solved the earplug issue but if not...have custom earpieces fitted at a hearing aid place. Pilots have done this for years with our headsets. It's comfortable and relatively inexpensive. Thanks for the videos!
Hi again Dan and Kiki, you're slowly heading south. It was really different watching you all up there in the cold snowy icy areas of the world. Get yourself a big can of oil and oil all of those squeaks 😄 well take care as the old saying goes. Watch you all from the beginning and so enjoyable and learning. Thanks and keep them coming and God bless you both and keep steering in the right direction. Bye
Looking great. Safe travels and good wishes from Melbourne Australia
I'm expecting to see you getting a contraption mix of a bicycle and a generator to do some workout while charging the batteries... don't ask me why hahahaha, cheers guys!!!
That was just a fun great episode. Beautiful sail and just a great time.
You’ll have to do the St Lawrence sea way and Rideau Canal when you get back to Canada!
You two are amazing
Look forward to your warmer sail south 👍🇺🇸
I hope this 'fix' works for you as well. I can not wear ear plugs for more than about an hour due to pain as well. Try this...Find the old style, open cell foam, barrel style ear plugs. Usually white-ish, no shaping, just a cylinder. Cut off about 3mm from an end. Try different amounts for your ear if that does not work. I know, makes no difference to the size it expands to - I have no idea why it works for me but it does. 5 hour plane trips, no problem now.
I don’t have words to describe how great you two are and your videos. All I can say is that you’ve inspired me to get a sailboat and try this out myself
Love that galley hammock - genius. Have been racking my brains for months trying to think of something like that.
Regarding earplugs, we used "over the ear" hearing protection while sleeping on passages, the type you will see workers in noisy environments use. They can be a bit bulky, but it worked very well for us.
Just wanted to suggest the same! For back sleepers, it should not be a problem. Side sleepers may need a cushion with a cutout for the earplug or something equally crazy.
People from the north call them earmuffs😁
Ok, I need the recipe for that breakfast. Some of the ingredients weren’t instantly recognisable to me. It looks sooo goood😋
Kika, I have the same problem with earplugs. The ones that go in my ears cause me terrible pain and wake me up too. I highly recommend Macks silicone putty earplugs (in the USA) but I imagine other brands would work as well. I cut them in half. Each pair lasts 1 to 2 weeks, so a pack lasts between 4 to 6 months. Good luck! Love following your travels.
Very envyoable. Good Health. Happy Spring!
Nice chair. You've unknowingly channeled the inventive Blondie Hasler (of servo-pendulum wind vane fame) who also developed a swinging chair for comfortable watch keeping. It is detailed in his book on junk rigs.
Easily the best sailing channel on You Tube. 6-7 years is a long time, can’t wait to see where you decide to go next.
You two appear to be so happy and well-adjusted, so lovely to see. Thanks for sharing some of yourselves and how you live.
You’re amazing! The places you’ve sailed to and the beautiful out of the way sites you’ve shared with us. Thank you for going to all the hard work of filming, narrating and producing these episodes.
Very beautiful video
Dam those smooth winds and calm seas, I was hoping you would stop off in Liverpool and I could have bought you a drink. Love your channel enjoy.
I love it. You guys don’t mess around. Don’t know your plans but if you are going into the Med, the Spanish port like Malaga, Cartagena, Terragona and Valencia are wonderful. Was just there cruising this coast a couple of week ago. Cartagena had a nice affordable marina, and just few minutes walk to the most beautiful town with marble streets side walk cafe’s and lots of shopping for lots of items. Clean, neat, beautiful and lots of very nice friendly people.
You two are just awesome sailors. To have sailed the seas in your sailboat is a spectacular achievement! Marvelous!!
😱😱
I wish I met you in France before you left ! You are probably far away already … 😭
I live in Le Havre where there is a marina. There is also one nearby in Honfleur !
Too bad … 😭
I wish you a wonderful day !
🥰
Bienvenus en France!!
Great downwind passage !
Thankyou peace fellow babies,excellent job.
The English Channel bring me a lot of memories
June 2004 on 56 ‘ Sunseeker out of Pole 20 to 35 knots and 20-ships in 12 miles radio,33 hours to Brest only 130 miles approx thank you guys to make me remember that passage with a dish of mussels for breakfast at the marina, blessings for you keep going 🤜🤛
Congratulations for closing the loop. I really have enjoyed the north Atlantic journey. So few channels have covered this area. It really has been a wonderful experience to say the least.
Did you forget the Baltic sea? Love your videos❣greetings from the island of Gotland.
Nope. Just not a place to spend the winter.
2.5 years with amazing accomplishments. Congratulations!
Welcome to France! What a wonderful passage! I'm French, living in L.A., Sunny California! Can't wait to see you sailing the Med, my preferred grounds of beautiful seas and history!
A pity you avoided Ireland, a beautiful place to visit.
*RE EARPLUGS: Have you tried Honeywell Max Lite Single-Use SNR 34. They are colored green.* They can be used more than once. They'll get a little 'ear-waxy' after a while... but then you just start on a new pair. But I'm actually a ~1,86 meter tall dude though, so my ear canals might be a little bit bigger than yours. Those plugs are the softest that I know of and you just have to stuff in just enough to get a really good seal. You don't have to shove in the whole plug.
Overhead noise cancelling earphones instead of the earplugs is what I would suggest. I have the same issue with earplugs and the headphones work a treat.
400k congrats
Congratulations Dan and Kika, 400,000, absolutely magnificent! You have earned every single subscriber. Your attention to detail and staying power is exceptional. Your love, devotion, kindness, and caring for each other keep bringing us back to you. God Bless, stay well, happy and healthy.
Congrats guys you finally made it. Yea its been a long year and now you are finally in a warm place. cheers x
Aha! The squeaking of the ship, little like Master and Commander. Nice, really nice.
My first port of call with some mates after I finished building my 46' Oro Wharram cat was Brest.
02:50 Meanwhile the dolphins are chatting: "It never get's old! Even after all these years of playing with them, these weird silent floater-thingies are still so much fun!"
Custom made ear plugs are worth ever penny for comfort!
Thanks!!!
Kika, Maybe find some earmuffs that can be incorporated into a pillow so that it's comfortable to sleep in one position or another... muffs go outside the ear to muffle sounds as opposed to inside the ear canal
I had the same issue with foam earplugs. I now cut the length down half the size, roll them between my fingers insert pushing all the way in. I found the length was the issue. If they stick out of the ear that’s what caused the ear discomfort
I find a feather down pillow helps.....create a dish cavity where your ear will lie using your hand and that takes all the pressure off when lying on your side. With foam pillows you can't create a depression but feathers can be moved around to suit
So glad I found you two. When you post, it makes my day better.
Real sailers, watched your videos and your true sailers taking journeys all over the world, with scenes that are so beautiful, Gods country and sea!
I've been looking at your older videos and just tried a current one. The music is just fabulous! Love it!
...and what a darling creature Kika. I say 'creature' because it is more inclusive than "human". Just love her.
Hello U2, we have enjoyed following your adventure so much. We have just watched your last episode crossing the English Channel. We are so disappointed, as we were all ready to come along and meet up with you somewhere in the South fo England. You have passed us and gone on to France! We are heading for France in a few weeks time so we will be looking out for you, Bob and Diane, Yacht Mariche VII (Hallberg Rassy 43)
U can try to put some soundproofing foams along the boat to silence squeaky noises 🤷♀️
Always fun to watch ----- thank you
Awesome videos which we have come to love.
Kika, I have same issues with earplugs! Solution was Boots (chemist) wax earplugs called ‘muffles’. Remove any fluff. Warm them in your hand for a few minutes until soft, then push gently home, not inboard. You’ll hear your heartbeat, nothing else. Good for 8 hours but even then begin to feel hot but not painful. Don’t use those expanding foam things, they’re quite evil. Thanks Guys!
Thank you
Bienvenue en France à tous les deux. Hope you’ll enjoy!
Welcome to France !
Brittany
Enjoyed your sailing in my home waters off the West of Scotland and down by the IOM. My how fortunate you were with the wind and weather. It’s not normally so kind.
Well, we waited for that specific weather… That’s why we took it! For any passage we take, If the weather isn’t favorable enough for us to sail, we don’t sail, and wait for a better window.
I like watching you guys because you show it as it is, uncomplicated, as it happens. Don't edit out too much because they can be the best shots. Look forward to episode.
Kika, I had an audiologist make me custom earplugs. Game changer for comfort and quiet. Loved this sailing episode!
Thanks for keeping me company you Intrepid gutsy folks as I drive on down the highway in Virginia
Eyes on the road!!!!
