    I look forward to one day sailing over that bridge. I’ve driven it to Virginia Beach so many times but never been on the water. Thank you for being an inspiration to even a 50 year old who is about to retire and addicted to your binge watch, planning my voyage in the next few years.

    Kika and Dan - I just finished binge watching all of your steps over the last 4 weeks starting from step 1 through several seasons and completing all of them today. I did cheat a bit and watch all of season 8 before I completed my binge watching and now I find myself rewatching a few of my favorite season 8 steps. I must say the quality of your videos from day was pretty darn good and now it has reached truely amazing. What a fantastic journey and so very much look forward to watching many more steps!

    I appreciate I’m preaching to the choir, but just in case someone wanting to emulate your adventures isn’t aware, radar and AIS are terrific navigational aids, however you are still required to keep a visual watch. Don’t become too dependent on the technology. Learn how to read the paper charts, buoys and beacons and use the Light List for more detailed information. Yeah it’s old school but for me it’s an essential part of safe navigation.

      @donb4386 5 лет назад +12

      Lydia Johnson I’m not sure it is a matter of being too comfortable, cuz often it is very difficult to be comfortable on a sailboat in miserable weather. Further the Uma crew have talked about how they maintain a watch when huddled up in the cabin and I am fine with their method. My comment was directed to the casual observer or a novice sailor who might take away from this video AIS and radar replaces an eyes on visual watch. It doesn’t. FYI, the Colregs make no exception to the requirement to maintain a visual watch, at all times.

      I lived at Chick's Beach, right next to the bridge tunnel on the Virginia side. It had a temperate microclime, never had much snow. There was a flock of green parrots that lived there, saw them one morning eating chokecherries behind my house and spent a couple weeks trying to figure out how they survived. They lived in a hollow tree across the highway, and everybody left food out for them. Somebody had released a breeding pair years before.

    Hello Dan & Kika, I used to live in Chesapeake VA while I was in the US Navy. There is a nice Naval museum in Portmouth, VA really really close to you. On the other side of the river, there's the Waterside Mall if that's still the name of it. It's quite a unique space with a bar that play Irish music out on the balcony. Also, the naval base used to have tours of different ships on Sundays on the Naval Base down there. That might be really interesting for you too! I hope you enjoy your time there, I remember it with fond memories! Just like your videos! I look forward to each and every one of them!

    If you're putting in a woodstove, have you carefully thought about fuel storage? Wood is heavy and takes a lot of space; I'd suggest compressed sawdust bricks (by-product of furniture/flooring industry, compact size, lots of heat value, almost no ash or creosote) but they can't get damp or they expand back into loose sawdust, so probably not the best for a small boat at sea.
