![Dangerously Low on Power, With No Way to Charge! - Sailing Uma [Step 272]](/img/1.gif)
In such a tranquil setting, the quietness of electric propulsion adds to the pleasure of the experience for viewers as well as boaters.
And everyone else enjoying the countryside!
Your videos invariably pass too quickly, leaving me wanting more. The content and editing continue to excel. Thank you and fair winds!
I love how different they are and not like the others mimicking sailing la vagabond
To be honest: I'm fighting for words to explain, what I feel, when I watch this episode. And I lost the fight.
Even in German Language I'm not able to find a Superlative witch came close enough. So I have to apologize, when I say, I had watched a cinematographic masterpiece for the last 25 Minutes.
It's emotional to me. All the brilliant footages, the Landscape, your Joy in the Rain and so much more.
Thank You!
wow Thank you so much for such kind words ☺❤
One can really only agree. And thanks for showing in a funny way how much work that go into making these.
Can I join in? Great to see the efforts that has to be made to get these superscenic 'youtubey' pictures and also funny watching the 'back and forth' 😂
Thank you for also taking the “Three deep breaths” together, rather than catching ALL the video moments you could. What you two have TOGETHER is absolutely beautiful.
Amen
Guys', this is gorgeous. This footage is top for sure. What I noticed is how quiet Uma is going along the canal. That even makes it more special. This is why you want an all electric boat. Now you can hear nature.
What a great episode. I lived for 10yrs on a narrowboat here in the uk and I can tell you, going through locks never gets old.. Well done guys.
Good on Dan, for acknowledging the stress of trying to get the right shot and just taking a moment to decompress. Mental health is important no matter to what far flung places you end up traveling to.
I had the same thought. Kika was caught in the moment of getting the great shots. Dan recognized she was focusing on the task at hand instead of enjoying the journey and had her chill for a few seconds. It's great to have a mate that can recognize when you're focusing on something other than enjoying such a serene trip and help bring you back. I'm sure she does the same for him at times.
I also loved Dan's use of music to manage stress.
Time t do some sketchy sh--! Doo-dah! doo-dah!
Hope I get away with this! Oh, da-doo-dah day! Hey!
I could not look away. These weekly adventures mean so much to me. You have shown me so many places I would like to see. This was one of my favorites. You give a new meaning to It is not the destination but the journey. Love you guys!!!
There's something to be said about Scottish rain, it truly is liquid sunshine, it can be miserable in the cold, just watching you guys go thought the locks made me so homesick. Thank you guys so very much.
Your love and compassion is your secret weapon. You have total respect for Mother Nature.
Locks and the canal are KOOL beyond measure. Simply stunning.
Thank You! Thank You! You two are always the highlight of my week. I have followed you since the beginning. I'm here in Yuma, AZ where are average rain fall is 2.5 inches per year and the temp. forcast for today is to reach 103 F. I'll be 91 years old next month and am blessed that I can still be with you.
After this, you should both give each other lockets that are engraved with We (or, I) Got Locked Up In Scotland! : - )
Traveling so quietly on the electric propulsion really enhanced the peacefulness of watching the video. I throughly enjoyed this.
I liked seeing that torrential rain to remind us where all that lifting power was coming from
THE CANADIANS ❤️ 🇨🇦🌏 You are by far the most exciting, happy, adventurous, fun, funny, talented filmographers, informative commentators, knowledgeable, worldly, earth loving, compassionate humans on the planet. I'm proud of you and I thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you. All my love 💓 Sail on Sailors ✨️🇨🇦
“I guess we’ll sail somewhere else…Southish” Liberty, it’s the soul’s right to breath!
Until just now, watching Uma reverse and then forward I realized just how pretty Uma is and I've been around for a while watching her change and become the classy Lady she is.
Been through the Crinan on a Moody 376 many times both ways. Stopped cruising a few years ago due to ill health. Really miss it but Uma's trip really bought back many happy memories. Thank you Dan and Kika.
we were here in Feb. it was beautiful. out of season so there were very few people about and the canal was closed. we had all the weathers from sunshine to snow to hail and rain, and back again in the same 10 mins.
Lovely experience!
Friendly tip, if you need to throw a lot of line as long as you can, try splitting it in two coil bundles, one in each hand, and throw them at almost the same time. Rotate your torso and let go of the "far end" bundle a split second before the near end part. :)
Sailing Zingaro has a great episode prior to going thru the Panama canal showing how to do what you are explaining. James demonstrates that's the way they do it in the navy.
Or go the easy way and use 10 meters of parachute cord tied to the rope with a weighted monkey's fist (slungshot) tied to the throwing end of the cord.
My mother and I binge watched your beginnings during covid , sometimes sitting on the back porch together. She has dimentia and can't do much but She enjoyed the scenery and peacefulness. She is in a nursing home now but I took my computer to watch this tonight. She doesnt always make sense, but said " I just like the quiet , I'm tired." She was very calm while you were on.You are familiar. ..like family or friends. I could watch you everyday. Looking forward to every step.
This episode shows why you wouldn’t want a Catamaran.
Loving the electrical setup, so in tuned with your surroundings.
Building these locks 200 years ago in the mud by hand must have been a nightmare.
What a beautiful episode ..again .
Your episodes are always a pleasant
Experience. High quality beautiful
Filming. What a treat for your viewers!
Sailing through postcards. Nice pictures and aerial views. Take care Dan & Kika.
I like to watch people traveling. In trailers, motorhomes, boats, etc. After a time they move on to something different and they get emotional thinking of all their experiences when they leave their traveling home. Watching you two is so unique, unusual places, doing so much with your boat, keeping it all this time, you two are on a whole different higher level.
Excellent, thank you. This video shows what the future will be like living without the classic sounds of exploding engines.
There is nothing like the sound of a V8 but the silence also has its charm.
Having your home with you is wonderful. Compensates for all the other variables. Touring with a different hotel every few nights, different food, can be overwhelming. Your life balance is awesome!
That canal is absolutely stunning. So beautiful and peaceful.
Despite sailing the Scottish west coast all my life, I've only made one complete transit of the Crinan Canal because we usually go round the Mull of Kintyre. So you now know it as well as me! :-)
Furthermore: Congrats!!!! - episode is online for one day only… nearly 600 comments, just scratching 100.000 clicks…. AND most of all, somewhere inbetween the day before yesterday and today you surpassed your 400.000-followers benchmark!!! 🥳 🍾 HOORRAY! Congrats to you! Quality just pushes through 🤩
I've 'told' you guys before. Incredible passage, story, cinematography, editing ... the real deal. Fair winds ... can't wait for next week.
The amount of effort you put into your videos doesn't go unnoticed.
A beautiful life, a few simple things can put a lock down on modern chaos. Onward& good health. Thank you always.
Wow. This takes me back to a week long narrowboat canal trip I took through the UK Midlands as a child (1975). Operating manual locks was great fun for eleven year old me. 🇨🇦👍🏻
Fabulous. That little marina you stayed overnight in on the canal is where I keep my boat and I’m always moved by the beauty of the area every time I visit. Great to see it on your travels and with some of the best video and shots of the area I’ve seen so thank you for that.
I’m so “2nd homesick” after living there for 17 years but at the same time I’m back in Canada since 2007 and only came back to Scotland in 2010 for my sons 18th birthday! I used to cross the canal at Ardrishaig 2-4 times a month delivering cryogenic oxygen to a salmon farm in the area! Such a beautiful country and the people are second to none!
You guys are one of the few channels that its a must to see in high definition otherwise its does it NO justice. Safe travels, good wind and following seas.
Just when I think you cannot top anything you have done, you give us more. This was especially beautiful.
Lovely footage of our local canal 😊 we were fortunate to use it for some 45 years and it always meant we were on our way to an adventure - happy memories 😊 Enjoy your journey south and happy sailing ⛵
Watched that one with a smile on my face all the way through. You really did a good job of conveying the feel of the Crinan canal. It is a special place.
It makes an old man feel good to see you guys having such a great time..
I love that you talk about "practicing" after all of your experience in the blue.
Yeah, we spend A LOT more time sailing and anchoring than we do docking.
Years ago my wife was on a crew that assisted a catamaran (as line handlers) go through the Panama Canal. This reminder her of her adventure.
A beautifully stunning step that I had to watch twice to fully appreciate. Your Scottish adventure holds much to look forward to.
It just occurred to me that you had the job of filming the lock process in addition to all the work of making the passage through the system. And you did it without drawing any attention to it as usual. Amaazing.
You guys are the best. Glad to be part of the Uma nation.
This is the most beautiful passage you've ever been on!! How truly quaint and magical... love love love!
Thank you for showing the part of Scotland I didn't see. Cheers.
Thank you! An enjoyable meander along the Crinan Canal. Doubtless I will never get there, but I feel now that I have experienced the area through you folks.
Stellar call to take the canal, brilliant, so beautiful. Wonderful episode, thankyou.
Probably one of your best videos. Thanks for showing us the locks and rain from beautiful Sottland . Nice work !
One of your best films yet. Crinan Canal is important to me, I fly my light aircraft from Enland to the Highlands often and when the weather is bad I follow the canal that way you wont hit any thing. Really like what you have done to your boat, there is another chanel called Gone with the Wynns and they in essence want an electric boat like yours except with two hulls. Love the way you sail in the northern latitudes, not just in the tropics.
You are making me homesick. I grew up in Crinan and Dunardry. I remember the weather well. Temporate rainforest. The canal also had a lot more life back then, late 70's 80's. There was a good few yachts in Crinan basin and there was still a decent sized fishing fleet using the basin. The fleet had lots of "charcters" that went with it. Best of luck and safe journey.
Incredible. The shots. The music. Now we just needed shots of your silks.
Great video folks. Nice to see you made it to my part of the world, enjoyed the lovely scenery and coped with our lovely weather! Haste ye back again and enjoy a wee glass of usquebae with us, one of the other fine uses of water (after sailing) 😀
A truly tranquil break from packing for a mid-May move to Vancouver Island (and the sea!) from Ottawa. Many thanks.
A bit like the Trent Severn system or the Rideau canal system in Canada. Part of the Great Lakes route.
Thank you two for allowing us to join you in such a vast array of sailing venues. This one has been really special. God bless you!😇😇😇
Wonderful passage through a beautiful lock system. Your videos are always so well done and have been following your life since 2020. I have watched all of your videos and many more than once. You have really stepped up your game since leaving the Caribbean and we are all learning from your experiences with making electric sailing so possible. 👍
Those guys on your buddy boat deserved a few rounds of drinks in the bar at the end of that day. It looks like they did almost everything! You owe, big time.
It's this sort of weather that keeps us fit, getting the washing out on the line and back in, every 15 minutes!
Great episode, loving the electric motor info.
Glad to hear you had plenty of battery power. It wasn't too sunny traversing the locks.
Soooo beautiful. That peaceful little canal. I don't know why, but it's bringing tears to my eyes. You're hitting all the places I need to go: Norway, Scotland, Svalbard. Thanks for the cinematography reality check, even though I really like the illusion that your final product conveys: that you guys are just kickin' back, chillin' as you lazily drift down the canal.
Wow! I can't believe the sailors have to operate the locks themselves! I only sailed as a child and young adult and only as a passenger. My entire family sailed and I never learned. I liked to paddle around in my glass bottomed boat though. We went through locks in sailboats, but never had to get out.
This ep is so very well put together, logistically tricky, so much effort to get the shots to be able to tell a seamless story, in unfamiliar conditions and all just two-handed. Thank you both, as always, for never compromising for our viewing pleasure. You are real youtube stars 🌟 Happy trails from Australia 🌷🐨
Hi again Dan and Kiki, lots of canals all over the world. Slowly heading Southwest huh. So many things to take care of but so many interesting places to be. Thanks again and see you the next time.
Can really appreciate the quiet electric motor in such a calm, peaceful setting. Very nice.
Beautiful, I love Crinan and you showed it off in sun and rain. It is such an idyllic journey. Look forward to next episode and stay safe. Andy UK
Folks, I have followed you from the beginning. It has been a wonderful opportunity to see the world through your eyes, and witness your journey with the joys, triumphs, challenges, heart aches, ‘disasters,’ and all the other descriptors that accompany these experiences. What is compelling is that as your storytelling has matured, and you have gained experience, your segments have become more a comfortable and familiar conversation that is sprinkled with history, reflection, detail and information that helps us be there with you. Thanks for your efforts to bring the world to our doorstep! You do a magnificent job! Continued safe passage, friends.
Thanks for final summary about power consumption with motoring. I was curious and you answered my question.
Curious about distance through locks. Time to go googling and checking maps.
When you get to England you can stop off in liverpool it’s nice. When you get to wales on the Llyn Peninsula stop in aberosch which is a very cute fishing village. Or if you need any boat supplies Pwhelli will have loads (fiver glassrope ect). Looks great!
I must say, the Scottish Locks and stream you were on is beautiful. I cant wait to catch the next video and see what or where you are. Thanks and happy and safe passage.
The Good Ship Uma and her indomitable crew continue their amazing Odyssey and we are all the better for it! Well done guys! ❤
There are not enough adjectives to describe this awesome journey, you both have an incredible Spirit. Thanks for sharing another beautiful video ⛵️⛵️⛵️🥰
Peace, Love and Light... Thank you very much, from Brian in Mareeba Australia...
Gorgeous footage. Endearing characters. Excellent production, while still authentically showing the production behind the production. This is why Kika and Dan’s story will be a feature film on the big screen one day. Uma: One step at a time. Love it.
Come to sweden and travel on the canal. It's a historic canal that many parts where digged by hand. It also has its own movies called "Göta kanal". They are really bad but still a classic 😄 many ppl that have traveled the canal says that you can see everything that sweden is about :)
Sailing UMA, yes please go to Sweden and film the Göta Kanal. That would be a fantastic episode. Sailing the Stockholm archipelago would be another great episode. The passage from Stockholm to Turku Finland would give you a wonderful trilogy. So many great places to explore.
Gotta goto Gota ?? Godit.
Ran Sailing did the Gota Canal Episode 2019 onwards
Simply put. One of the best I've ever seen. So much fun and emotional and again you made us feel as if we were there with you.
OMG! Amazing. Thank you for all of the work that goes into making these fabulous videos. Cannot begin to express how wonderful they are / you are! So proud to hear ‘Uma, the Canadian boat’ at the beginning. ♥️ from 🇨🇦
You two are a real joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your journey through life.
On my Top 5 Sailing Uma episodes. . . Thank you for sharing!
What an awesome experience, such a beautiful Canal!! geez that electrical system is holding up well!!
That was a cool episode. Quite the heavy-duty rain in the Sun. No catamarans in the locks.
I smiled all the way through this, what a magical, delightful and dare I say spiritual wee movie. Thank you for sprinkling that magic all over the place for us! X
For some reason, not even known to me! I dragged my feet in watching this episode (normally I do not tarry) duh! You've done a great job on this one. Enjoy every minute you two. Oh, thanks for sharing.
what a beautiful video! I had hardcore flashbacks to when I visited my parents on their boat (they are sailing a Sirius 40DS. - they have a blog - sailing amazing grace! mostly German, but parts of the blog is translated into English). They did the 'big' Caledonian Canal, starting in Inverness a couple of years ago.
My husband and I stayed with them for 2 weeks and it is to this day one of my favorite sailing trips. Scotland is such a beautiful country to sail. Sailing through the Highlands, all the Lochs and locks was truly special!
Also, it is rare to meet such nice people like the Scots.
I am always blown away by your videos. I know it must take a lot of additional effort behind the scenes (literally) but the results are worth it every time. The bonus is that you take us to places most travelers will never experience. Be well guys.
Ive been watching for a long time and finally have an account to comment. Your two are a class act. Bravo to you both. THANK YOU for bringing us along on your incredible journey. All the best to you always!
Itttts a small world disney ride at full scale
Fantastic fottage of the Crinnan & a first for me seeing it from a birds eye view. You stepped up and down the👍 aperture in your stills as good as Uma did in the locks.
I LOVE the rain and the sunshine! This is heaven imho
That was a really great experience and what luck to have the buddy boat, everyone helping each other is wonderful.
Another memorable adventure. Glad to be on for the ride.
Stupefyingly beautiful video!!! I also could listen to Scottish men and women talking about anything, all day.
I don't know why but for me this video is the best one in ages! Perhaps rain is a relief after all the cold. but I am biased, I love the rain. 💙💙
Love it. Been following you round the world, and its great seeing you in our back yard as it were. First took a sail boat through the Crinan Canal 35 years ago, and your trip took me back through time. Fair winds and following seas. Haste ye back, as we say. All the best.
Photogenic video showing Scotlands weather at it's best. Sailing through a 200yrs old canal set in a 5,000 yrs old human landscape, of Kilmartin Glen and Dunadd Hill fort, capital of Dal Riata. Happy sailing!
I love seeing a change from open ocean sailing and these videos of inland canals is a real treat!
I am just jealous of you guys... So, I send you a million tons of love... Just those pics of Scotland's canals made me fall in love with.... Again, load and load of love to you and the best of Scotland..... I am coming, very soon...
That rain was incredible!
