North of the arctic circle in a $3000 boat with a sketchy keel brought back to life by two crazy ambitious wanna be sailors and world travelers. You both have come a long way and done an amazing job creating and delivering entertaining content of sailing, exploring, and improving little Uma. Well done to the both of you ... darn well done
I'm a huge fan of Dan and Kika, but the keel is one thing that scares me about Uma. Truly hope my worries never come true and she sails for a long time
@David/Dan & Kika ... VERY IMPRESSIVE INDEED .... BRAVO GUYS ... 🤜🤛 👍👍 👌. ⛵
A Norwegian called Jarle Andøy pushed his luck too far, producing television show from north and south pole in ordinary sailboat, ended in disaster, boat froze to ice and sank, crew died. Ice can be a problem, should be a well known fact since Titanic. But the winter in mainland Norway is over, so it should not be to extreme, as long as they keep track on weather and wind.
Well said David C !
Well said!
The worst part about UMA videos is having to wait for the next one!! I discovered their vids in my feed (which was odd) about 6 weeks ago and thought I'd have a look. So, 265 episodes later I'm still here and now want a sailboat! Lol. Love these guys!
Hahahaha 🖖🏼😏
I was grinning ear to ear as you did your crossing the Arctic Circle ceremony. Love to see you two super human kids do what you do in a vessel that you brought back to life and learned to sail basically from scratch. The fact that you sail almost to and from your dock or anchorage. To two are real sailors and not some sort of weekend 'sailors'. You are both informative and goofy at the same time. A real treat to watch you both.
My favorite thing about this channel is that you actually show the sailing. Boat work and maintenance is really important and informative but being able to see the sailing is the real payoff! Thanks for the great videos!
This Norwegian shudders at the thought of sailing a small boat in the Arctic during winter, You guys are hard core
If the goal was to cross the Arctic Circle and duck South, it is a nice challenge, but it is time for some warmth and I be headed back South....
I'm struggling to keep my boat warm docked on Lake Ontario with 30A shore power, lol.
You are correct
@@charonstyxferryman Børge Ousland did that in 2010 with a Corsair 31 trimaran - and they did both NE and NW in the same summer - that was a first. Being in Norway you will be able to see this on NRK; tv.nrk.no/serie/ut-i-naturen/2012/DMPF71002111/avspiller
There IS a reason why 99% of us here in "Frosty Town" prefer to dry out or boats offshore in the winter ...
Seriously hope the Norwegian tourism bureau is lined up to sponsor Kika's visa renewal. This is gorgeous scenery.
Good point. Fingers crossed.
Well said David I'll add a
"You betcha "
In the United States Navy there is a tradition when crossing the Arctic Circle. The crew would dress up in beach attire and go out on the main weather deck where the Captain would paint everyone’s nose blue by dipping his finger in blue paint. The ship’s bull nose was also painted blue indicating its crossing.
And after you cross and go through the ceremony you move from being a tadpole to being a bluenose.
@@tem1939 I think you are referring to a “pollywog.” A pollywog is anyone that has not crossed the equator before. After crossing it and enduring a rather humiliating initiation witnessed by King Neptune and his royal court, you are then proclaimed a “Shellback.”
NOSE????!!!! Seriously??!! I KNEW there was something wrong with our Captain!! He painted our balls blue!!!!
Yes US Navy Blue nose 1976. Even all the aircraft had noses painted Blue. UMA has earned a Blue nosed too! No boat with her history has earned it more.
@@coldwarveteran4239 what ship were you on? I was on the USS America. Got a “blue nose” and a “ Emerald Shellback” for crossing the equator at 0° latitude 0° longitude. I think you just say “I did the ditch” when transiting the Suez Canal.
As a child I grew up in a small college town. Once a month a traveler would come to town and show movies of their travels. They were called travelogues. We couldn’t wait until the next one would come with stories of the outside world. We didn’t have a television so these events were special. Now I’m blessed with a travelblog every week from several travelers of which yours is my favorite. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. It enriches our lives.
👍
I suddenly noticed that I'm always watching your channel with a big smile on my face... Thanks for that, Kika and Dan. Entertaining, informative, eye-pleasing, and positive vibes! Hope you enjoy your journey as much as I love watching it. Cheers!
A Haiitian girl and a Canadians boy sailing across the arctic circle in Northern Europe. Pretty damn cool!
Are you sick of being cold yet?! Sailing in the snow? You guys are hardcore! ⛵️
You two are so funny. Neptune Ice Bucket Challenge! LOL!! Cheers and congratulations.
"What Happens When We Crossed The ARCTIC CIRCLE?" You gain the title of "Blue Nose". Congrats and welcome to a very exclusive club......
You two are such an amazing couple! It be great if you'll did a video about what you appreciate and see in each other. What are the qualities you saw (are seeing) in the other person that confirms your commitment? Sometimes that's obvious and sometimes it's not. Honestly! We know relationships aren't perfect -especially on social media but it does seem like you two have something quite special and rare. Dan is an amazing man! He's so intelligent and has such a great disposition about him! And Kika is extraordinary in her own right. She's creative, smart, beautiful and has such a joyful spirit. Sorry to be so effusive. I'm really blown away by the people you two are and the adventure that you're on. The gift of inspiration through behavior is immeasurable.
you just gotta love Dan's never ending optimism on the how pretty the weather in Norway can be ;-)
You two are one of the few true sailing channels congratulations
My grandpa was in the Royal Navy after World War II & told us they had to recite a poem to Neptune & he received a certificate once they’d crossed. In later years he took my gran on a cruise & she got her own certificate x
What an achievement! Congrats
As someone who absolutely hates cold weather, I'd much rather apply a hot branding iron to my backside than go north of the Artic Circle, ha ha, but to everyone their own, regardless, it's an outstanding accomplishment, keep safety in mind while you are up there, there are plenty of things that could go wrong if you relax to much. Congratulations.
Lol. I’m the exact opposite. 😂🇨🇦
Congratulations on crossing the Arctic circle! That is so cool!
I am glad that you had some downtime to hang with friends! One thing I love about your videos is how you make me smile and laugh! Thanks!
Hello from Vancouver Island! Q: I would be great if you guys would state when the episodes are filmed. Just as a time-reference. Tx
If you pay attention @ 13:17 - 13:35 Kika gives you a hint. ;-)
Seems like 1 week to 1 month after filming (my conclusion from watching lots of Uma videos).
Beginning of April
Really liked the nautical terminology with which you planned and explained your departure from Lovund! 😀
I loved the details of Dan's exit strategy from the marina 😂
I had to google those technical terms he used.
Love Dan’s explanation on how you were going to get out of the marina...
Many congrats guys. I am sure it is a huge milestone. Not many do it. Very well done. Love you both. Neptune approves x
The quality of your videos is top notch. Excellent videography, story telling and editing. Congratulations on making it to the Arctic Circle. Breath taking scenery - thank you for sharing your travels.
Pure joy! Cheers for taking us along with you!
You two are living the perfect life.
Yep, real tough cookies ! Imagine being in warm waters of Columbia and dreaming of crossing the Artic Circle...
And do it in dead of winter !! 😳
Either you are complety berzerk OR your names are Kika the Caribeann girl and Dan the Canadian on Uma !
Or both ! 🤣
Gotta love it !😍
Sailing into the cold.... shaking my head... bbrrrrrr. Well comgraduratoms (because its cold) for crossing the Arctic Circle!! 👏👏👏
You guys are amazing. I’m totally impressed that you’ve gone north! (Hurray for Canadians!)
I spent three brutal winter months working on the USNS Loyal T-AGOS-22. A Navy surveillance ship in the Arctic. We were working the the Norwegian and Barents sea tracking Russian submarine traffic. Never saw the daylight but I did see the aurora borealis which was pretty cool. I can't imagine running a sailboat up there even in the spring. You guys got Steel cojones!
Courage is the name of UMA in these far north latitudes!
Definitely an ill equipped boat for ice and snow!
keep going you are one of the best channels
Cheers
I got to cross the Arctic Circle twice on a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine. We performed the ceremony for King Neptune’s Baby. It was a lot of fun, but more so the second time around as I had already been initiated as a Bluenose. Congratulations to you two!
14:40 I love how sound effects are used to explain navigation lol
While I find crossing the Arctic circle a worthy accomplishment I find myself asking why you would stay so far north for so long. I used to enjoy your videos but I’m liking them less and less since you’ve made the decision to live in the freezing north for so long. I frankly find your videos since you have been up there to be boring and dull. I live in Florida and have done a little day sailing and when I daydream of buying a sailboat and going wherever the spirit moves me the last place I would pick is where you guys have been for the past year. I live under a blue sky in crystal clear warm water with a hot sun and tons of animal and marine life to entertain me and provide an endless seafood buffet. Fresh fruit and vegetables and different cultures and cuisines just hours away for fun and diversity. The sameness that I see you guys have up there would drive me nuts. I really don’t believe most viewers of sailing vids are looking to emulate your current lifestyle choices but to each his own. This is just my opinion but until your videos get interesting again I won’t be watching them anymore. Just thought you might want to hear a differing opinion for what it’s worth.
When you cross the artic circle, you are supposed to paint your nose and the bow of the ship to signify that you are a member of the Royal Bluenose Society. Just love your series.
In all of my years, I'm 72, it never dawned on me to sail north in winter. I'm interested in the mind set that put this journey in the must do list, while in Columbia. Lets sail north for the winter just does not seem like the decision one would make. I'm glad you tow did, this has been a wonderful journey.
maybe the heat and humidity drove them mad?
I'm not sure if this is winter because if it were it would be dark out. I think this is just a week or two ago.
Glad to hear that your water maker is doing its thing! Lots of clean, clear drinking and showering water! Hurrah✌️🎉😁
🇨🇦 Woot Woot crossing into the Artic Circle !!! And the Rona bucket at the end lol
Photography of this video is chefs kiss. 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🎈🎈
Sailing in northern oceans in winter - going above the arctic circle - is a definition of hard core, TRUE sailors -- the real deal. Great to watch your process. Perhaps you'll be there in northern Norway (that's redundant by the way) for the Midnight Sun.
Congrats. I dont know how you could have pulled off these adventures, but I really appreciate you sharing them with us. Continued successes.
That's awesome! I love how you guys routed yourselves to be in southern Norway in the middle of the winter and then above the Arctic Circle later in the year. You can keep sailing north as the summer approaches. The landscapes are mindbogglingly beautiful - as always! Cheers
Damn! You guys are hardcore! I had to go put a sweatshirt on to watch this one. BRRRRRRRRR
Your enthusiasm even in the cold is infectious - also best produced sailing channel ever ! Thanks for another cool video :)
I enjoy sailing but I also enjoy warm. Like skiing, only when I have the gear to enjoy it. You both enjoy the adventure and it is great to follow you. thank you
It really is pleasurable when when one hits his head against a brick wall it feels better when One stops. I am making this comment on my boat in the Chesapeake at 59 degrees.
We will be in Norway in August
14:36 haha. A very technical nautical-sounding phrase. " 20 knots on the forward quarter" Then more technical talk. " Pwqqqrrrrqq......" And much flinging of arms. Love it.
Yeah, we use what works... ;)
Gosh! I remember when Kika first played in the snow! Congratulations guys! You’ve come so far!
I love your show, I look forward to it every week! One comment from a sailor with over 100,000 blue water miles under my keel, I would remove that swivel above the anchor. You don't need it and they have a history of breaking at the pivot.
Dan on the challenge of leaving the dock with gestures, grunts and other sounds...... The sad part for me....... is I understood it....... scary !!!!! You both are awesome! stay safe!
What a Brilliant vidclip, yet again ..... Must say that the 'Quality' of the photography is Stunning, Always so Clear and Picturesque .... Very Best to You Both from New Zealand ....
Congratulations guys, that was a REAL accomplishment. I have watched you guys from the start, sailing to the Arctic Circle makes cruising the Tropics look like sailing in backyard pool.
5 min mark and im loving the fact that it looks like you guys took a couple of days off to hang out with good and cool people. Love it. And the ending? Great idea.! It should be as clean as it gets.
You two are true adventures/sailors not only being fair weather sailors sailing close to the equator but taking on stormy and rough seas.
Yes but we also greatly appreciate some fair weather! 😅
I've been there on land, and it's ... well, you feel it. I can't explain it, but you do. Congrats, guys, you actually are HARD CORE, if there was any doubt before. Hall of fame, definetely Hall of fame.
I found your opening shot jaw-dropping spectacular. Great work.
You two are tougher than I can even imagine.
Always put Sailing Uma on the big screen these days , another great episode .
Wow! When you guys were filming and skimming over the water --such a beautiful scene.
Very pretty out there watching yall sail. haha
Finally another episode. I am from Poland, living in UK, and you very inspiring. I never knew sailing can be so spectacular, I am hoping to at least learn how to sail small boat, If I can do that... who knows where could it lead to ?:)
You are a wonderful couple. I love you💖
wow you have a Rona hardware bucket how Canadian of you Dan, shout out from Montreal
and a BC registered tender
I love your stories ,beautiful pictures and Kika and Dan ..thank you so much 😊
7:07 Yes please, White Chocolate Mocha for me, thank you ...
8:45 In the snow, wet, slushy, sticky, slippery, gray KINDA PRETTY, well that not the general concensus in the Caribbean LOL !!
Sail on you brave souls, you definitely earning it now $ ... What's next, Northwest Passage, Bering Sea $$$ .... HELL YEAH !!
I'm looking forward to see as well!
You two are becoming old pros! In years to come, you'll absolutely treasure the crazy winter weather. Humans are funny that way...
As for the Arctic Circle, you called it just a bit early! The position of the Arctic Circle is not fixed and currently runs 66°33′48.6″ north of the Equator. Its latitude depends on the Earth's axial tilt, which fluctuates within a margin of more than 2° over a 41,000-year period, owing to tidal forces resulting from the orbit of the Moon. Consequently, the Arctic Circle is currently drifting northwards (shrinking) at a speed of about 15 m (49 ft) per year. (Wikipedia)
Converting to decimal degrees, we have N 66.5635. You know... Just for future reference so you know when to celebrate on the way back home!
As for drinking the ocean, "A single liter of seawater has about one billion bacteria and 10 billion viruses." - Smithsonian
Thankfully, we evolved to handle it just fine. :)
You two are so cute! I'm so happy for your achievement! Btw, beautiful place!
Spent 5 years in the Coast Guard in the early 80's on an Icebreaker and there used to be a full blown all day initiation that new sailors went through when you crossed the Artic Circle. First timers where "Blue Noses". Veterans who had been across before and had been through the initiation in the past were Polar Bears. Shortly after leaving port & heading North there was all ship muster were all the Blue Noses were called out and given a Royal Subpoena from the Captain of the Ship. The subpoena was an order to appear before the court of King Neptune once the ship had crossed the Artic Circle. King Neptune, in most cases, was always the sailor who had the most sea time. After receiving the subpoena first timers then had their noses marked blue by the XO. The Polar Bears ran the initiation and lets just say it would never fly in today's politically correct society. It was all in good fun and you weren't required to go through with it but most of us did. It didn't matter if you were an officer or an enlisted...everyone was treated the same. In fact it used to be such a highly regarded right that it was noted in your personnel record and certificates were issued. Even though no one got hurt there is no way this could ever happen today on the scaled that it did 40 years ago...people would end up in jail.
You two are hilarious AND adorable! Congrats on checking “cross arctic circle” off your bucket list!!!! Stay safe and be well!🧡🧡🧡🧡
Congratulations on Your crossing,...You two have come a very long way. Safe travels!
I think a record was set. Girl from Jamaica crosses Attic Circle . Congratulations !
A subtle serenity in a world of confusion. Merci biens c’est sur…🇨🇦
You guys seem so fun. Thanks for inviting us in on your travels.
Congrats to you both. I didn't think you guys would turn in to Arctic explorers. Be careful and have fun!
I just loved this episode! You made it! The horns were perfect! Salad to you and your grad adventure. Loving these Haliburton moments!!
SALUD. GRAND
Thank you both for your delightful weekly dose of pure joy!
I have been following you both for quite a while. Now the question occurs to me - did you go to the marina primarily because the weather (no sun for a week or so....) forced you to seek a source for electrical power? You were in a anchorage that looked secure to me.Ir makes me wonder how far are you along with your research on a wind generator. It sounds like a generator would have kept you fully charged. And so the saga continues on discovering what the limitations are (if any) on sailing "electrically" as you do (except for cooking and heating - and doing laundry....). Keep sailing, keep sharing. I do look forward to your weekly segments.
Kika has a beautiful voice. Ur voice attracted me to continue watch ur channel. And offcoz I love sea...
That's pretty cool. Did you notice that the air is a lot more dense when it is cold. So 15 knots, responds to the sails a lot more like 18 knots of warm air.
Incredible scenery! Who knew it could be so beautiful while you're freezing half to death! LOL
This made my day. The antics are hilarious!!! Aloha from Hawaii guys!!!
I thought the guy on sailing La Vagabond was a good sailor and he is. But you guys are simply astounding. Bravo!
Crazy Canucks!! Let me know where your going to be so I can send you a new flag!! Love it!!
Congratulations you two, or to quote a Kika-ism, "Well, that was fun..!"
Such a great achievement and seriously good episode... again.
Canada says Hell Yah!!! Another awesome episode! Love it!! Thanks guys. 💕 from Vancouver Island.
so enjoyed this episode. brought back memories of mountain explorer and sailor Bill Tillman. find his books.
Congrat Guys on crossing the LINE......have fun in the sun.
I have no desire to sail into the Arctic Circle. If I did, have such a desire, I would require a much bigger boat with lots of heat. I do enjoy your adventure into that area.
Watching your hands in the snow and cold water oh my gosh, I'm freezing FOR you!!! It's so beautiful but, it must be getting tiring being so cold all the time???
We’re actually pretty warm most of time. We have some really good gear we’ve collected along the way and have learned how to stay warm.
geweldig om jullie te volgen ik wou dat ik nog jong was.
Goddamnit Kikaaaa, I hit my head on the door ducking for that water splash.
it was great editing 👍🏼
😂😂😂😂💝
Very niice!👍 Lovund is my island❤. I remember seeing you coming into the dock😊
I think I see two smaller lines coming from the jib near the clew into the cockpit? Lazy reef lines?? Your rigging is so awesome, just like your journey and yourselves! Thanks so much for all the fun & inspiration!
Got it, it's your foreguy & afterguy!
Good Goings! from the other end of the world here in Yuma, AZ. Temp. at the present 101 degrees f. You two are the greatest.
Your 90 year old friend Bob
Well done and congratulations! fantastic video. It feels like your taking us with you on this great voyage, thank you 🙂
Congratulations!! What an amazing accomplishment!!
Congratulations on another milestone reached! Another bucket list item crossed off! You have gone where one day, I would love to go, but we will live vicariously through your exploits! Now, go warm up!
I follow a few sailing Chanel's and while I enjoy watching their videos, then can't compare to the quality and content of yours. Fantastic editing, super informative, and 2 great host. Why you don't a million plus subscribers is beyond me.
You people are badass sailors!
You seriously know sailing !
