It’s huge how you guys could make a Hollywood grade content out of groceries shopping and putting out the trash 👍
Nice video but no where near “Hollywood Grade” content by any means! Just because you like them, standards are still required!
Hmm............. not sure I'd agree with that. I watch less and less these days. They were interesting when they were designing and building systems. Their late content simply isn't great.
@@JCrook1028 lol.
@@mircat28 lol.
Can't believe you still had most of that half bottle of Glenmorangie. You are not big drinkers are you. Very pleased it provided a drink for the glacier ice!!! Very fitting because at the time I gave it to you you were publishing the Norway videos and you had recently shown the Norwegian Whisky barrel purchase. This was one of my favourite segments. Lots of sailing and bits of the boat handling. Dan's single handed sail hoisting and setting was very good to see. Also hose to get seaweed off the anchor and the use of the cockpit shower. Its good to be reminded of all the boat projects that have taken place over 8 years, and just how easy it is now for Uma to be sailed, and used, conveniently, by one or two people, or even three!!!!
Yeah I love seeing the sailing stuff bc I aspire to get a similar size boat and I feel like I'm learning stuff by osmosis.
But it was a honorable situation to spend some of that bottle 😁
What a beautiful Honor...
As a video professional, I really appreciate the production values you bring to your episodes -- letting the cutaways, B-roll, and nat sound help tell the story vs. the typical RUclips, endless, facetime narrative. Yes, there certainly is a personality-driven aspect to Sailing Uma, but when you craft that balance between compelling visuals and a personal POV, I forget about how it was made vs. where you're taking the viewer. Or as Bob and Doug McKenzie used to say on SCTV's Great White North, "Beauty, eh?" Fair winds and following seas to you both. Cheers.
Comparing Sailing Uma to Doug and Bob is almost an insult, luckily they have a lot more class than Bob or Doug also the fact she being female also adds to Sailing Uma does not discount the Class of the young Lady!
I couldn't agree more. The "facetime narrative" says it all.
@@cherylsibson2529 Bob and Doug were hilarious. Don't you dare disparage them! Take off! Lol.
I love to watch the dynamic between you two. It is obvious you love each other very much.
UMA has to be one of the most organized boats on RUclips!
Today I wore my 'Don't buy a couch' t-shirt to the grocery store and someone recognized it! I love finding like-minded people! Brings a little sanity to my crazy world.
So awesome! 😊
Drinking gifted Scottish Whiskey over your Glaser Ice. Epic!!
AHH! THE SPELLING IT'S HEINOUS IT'S HORRID. HELP, SACRILEGE, HORROR, CRIME.
I am being dramatic but the spelling of Whisky is very important and Scotland spells Whisky without the E.
@@gemtoothagr Scotch whisky Sans 'Scottish'.
Yes, it was epic!! 👍
Although I picked up a little bit of resentment in Kika's reaction to Dan excitingly proposing to use the last piece of The Glacier Iceberg....., I sensed probably Kika wanted to preserve The last piece of THE Iceberg she handpicked (?) by herself as a sort of sentimental item of their journey to NORTH..., for as much longer as possible..., but maybe I'm wrong! 😆 I'm glad that seems like they enjoyed that epic drink 🍸!!!❤️👍
Anyways, as always thanks for another well-crafted video Kika & Dan 🤩 You guys are one of the most down-to-earth, truly decent, well-organized, very smart, and purely lovely young couple I've ever known in my life, let alone over the YT channel or any other platforms ✊️🥰👏
Enjoy Portugal 🇵🇹 Great food, Great wines 🍷, Great Town and people, Art & Music 🎶 as well as Great architecture out there...! Oh and Great Surfing, too !! Have fun 👍 😊 ❤️🥰
@@gemtoothagr then you need to be equally mad about drinking Scottish Whisk on ice, even if it’s clacier ice.
@@Rsama60 I AM NOT A SNOB ( He said Snobbishly)
I prefer The Whisky Tribes idea of "The best Whisky is the Whisky you like, and the best way to drink it is the way you like to drink it." Wonderful well educated people over there not at all snobbish and very in tune with the different cultures and the Whiskies they produce. I prefer a good Speyside scotch neat with a few drops of water or sometimes I'll drink a Rye on the rocks. And yes there are some Scotches I will have on the rocks.
I watch you on my huge TV while sitting on my comfy sofa, integral part of wife and I weekend, so can’t usually comment but really want to say…. Of the many sailing RUclips channels we watch you are our favourite. Not only stunning scenery and edits but also soul and humour. We really love watching your videos! Thank you for being amazing!!! 😍
Always very good photography and story. Thank you from an old man who missed the boat.
When 2 people make each other better people...
Ever thought of getting a solar camping shower? They're inexpensive and work well, take a nice warm shower during the daytime... You can easily fold them up and tuck them away out of sight.
PS I almost cried when you used up the glacier ice! You were really there!!!!!
I gotta say: I love it when you show grocery shopping. Mama wants to know that you are choosing healthy items... Which you always do! Yay for the haircut, too. Hurrah for Kika working as you go. Basically "real-life" Bravo!!
Out of the whole youtube world I honestly don't think there is a more naturally talented couple who you can see genuinely share their experiences not driven by money nor materialistic things, one happy couple and the world needs more people like this to survive.... bit deep but true... thank you for sharing your adventures
that sea foam usually comes from a countercurrent, that's why it is pretty well allined
So glad to see you made your way to Portugal, hope you have a really cool time here. Been following you videos for a couple of years now and always wondered if you would make it to Portugal. Welcome!!!
Dan and Kika, 2 years ago today you had a meetup in Bergen, you two and Uma going to north of Norway.
What a perfect journey it has been to watch, all your perfect videos. So nice to se you two and Uma, back in warm climate again.
Cheers, fair winds and have a good time in Portugal
Simply cathartic…
I often ponder, with the legacy of their sailing experiences at Sea, about the degree and level of magnitude of their collective sailing and evolving anthropological expertise? [Based on their travels and engagement in the human experience (e.g., marriage/ global diplomacy/ Etc.)
Imagine the ionosphere level of experience, in just their casual and passing conversation. Damn!
~We’re just changing counties.
~ It reminds me of when we were sailing through the Sargasso (Sea).
~ …off shore haircut between Portugal and Spain
~ what will it be; wine from Norway or scotch from Scotland?
~ the key to our life style is balance: working while enjoying where we are
Don’t buy a couch! How profound.
Soooo... you're saying that life is not just sailing and basking in the sun!!! Thank you so much for the work you put into this. You two make a good day even better! 🙂
Around the Med and especially in it you'll come across lots of foam lines like that one. The fish farms tend to release a lot of slime at feeding time which makes foam lines just like that.
Your life seems like more of a constant grind than it does glamorous. The sites you get to see are pretty amazing, but I wouldn’t trade my life in Hawaii for a life of constantly working for every little thing. I do enjoy the scenery of all the places you travel, but I have several islands here to explore that are magnificent & never cold 🥶 I wouldn’t attempt to do what you guys do in a million years. But, I sure enjoy watching you work & play! Watching all you endure makes me appreciate my own life living comfortably so much more. I hope to see you guys on a national tv channel one day!!
Its is 24/7 work. Don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise 😂.
On the practical side I keep thinking you guys really need something likeWheel-a-Weigh to save both your dinghy and your backs. I've used them for 20 plus years on my Achilles dinghy and think it's one of the reasons it has lasted so long, including 8 years in Pacific Mexico (It does look like they have changed their design since I bought mine, to a maybe less durable design, VEVOR Boat Launching Wheels look like what I have used with the longer transom mounting hardware). Drop the wheels into the water before it's too shallow, it then protects your prop to some degree, and on getting to the beach usually one person can roll it up the beach to the high tide mark. Something of this nature makes dinghy landings and launching so much easier.
Production Quality, you guys are the gold standard. Great editing of superb video, combing drone, fixed and hand held cams.
Great work!
You guys are awesome I didn't think it's already been a year since the glacier I've watching you for years and have really enjoyed seeing some of the places you have been I just recently showed my 14 year old the Viking video since she's studying vikings in school she was amazed and wanted to say it was very eye opening you guys be safe and can't wait to see the next episode
I loved the fact that you showed you using your inner ape for steering the boat ( Time stamp 3:17 -> 3:27 ).
This Step is a testament to all the smart, hard work you two have put into Uma. You just keep adding mod cons and life hacks to your trusty vessel. Fair winds and following (but not over the transom) seas!
This episode had a more subdued tone than usual. Cruising is sometimes so epic and other times taking the two hours and 50 steps it takes to move the boat and motor the dinghy to shore just to dump a bag of trash can be "meh". The magic of your videos is how you meter out the right balance between the stunning and the mundane. As always, very satisfying to watch.
NORTH CAROLINA HERE! Been watching yall for a while and have been my soul inspiration to go for the boat life! My fience and I are saving up to get a blue water sailboat one day! Thank you for all the amazing videos! Yall have changed our lives with them! YALL ARE AMAZING!!!!
Where in NC? I am watching from the Mountains in NC. I love to escape life by watching these guys but don’t know jack about sailing. Good for you saving up. Hope you get your boat someday soon!
I am watching from Winston-Salem, NC … The home of REYNOLDS Tobacco that built Wake Forest Bowman Gray Medical School & Baptist Hospital to treat the LUNG CANCER!
@@stephengreen2898 Watching from Chapel Hill, NC. Occasionally we get out to the coast with a little 14' cruiser. Love watching these two make their way.
Hi Kiki and Dad, the last of the iceberg, that was neat. Yeah you look better with the hair trim. Enjoyed your meanderings around the sea and going in town. Seems like there's always something to fix on a large boat but what a blast you have visiting around the globe. Thanks a lot and catch you next time, bye now.
Congrats on 400k Subs! Been really fun watching this channel grow and following your adventure!
Damn! That SUNSET was beautiful!!! You guys are awesome
Truly appreciate this entire episode. From the honest recapping the daily trials and tribulations to the beauty of the sea to working together on your common goal. And, your production value is amazing. Stay safe & enjoy. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Sincerely, Land locked in So Illinois 😊
Love to see you guys working together as a team, 1 can edit videos as 1 moves the boat to an anchorage that will re supply your needs. Also a Huge shout out to you guys for participating in the "In Mocean" initiative. Started during the Pandemic it is taking a bit of time to get moving with supply issues, but I donated as soon as I heard of it because I follow all of you guys supporting the movement and believe in what you are giving back to our planet. Keep it up and can't wait to see what comes next.
I was in that marina two months ago while delivering a sailboat from Largos to Amsterdam. A great little place to fuel up and get supplies. Have fun guys on your way south;)
Cooling video, after stacking small hay bales under the hot prairie sun in sasklandia! Always worth the break to watch your Kika & Dan sailtime! Good health to you both!
Loved the lifestyle tidbits in this one you guys! We can appreciate how challenging it can be to edit while underway!
That whiskey on the rocks looked so appealing I think we’ll have to sail our boat to a glacier to get some! 🥃
Love the videos, awesome work you two!!
Alright, a couple of really beautiful days before leaving Spain. You guys are going to totally geek out on the architecture of Porto! Hope you guys buy a few good bottles of Port wine. Not that it's the best for drinking - although it is nice to sip on - but you can make the most awesome wine sauces with Port! Can't wait to see the city through your eyes :)
You might be aware of the famous film/documentary producer, Ken Burns.
One of his most excellent productions is the series titled, "America's Best Idea", about the history of, and touring the National Park System.
It's pretty cool that, since its inception, other nations have followed suit. Including Spain, where you were just anchored.

Dan&Kika, You two are my second favorite couple.
+++++
I cut my hair, too! My wife finishes my cut.
Arriving in the dark. Again. Classic Uma. ❤️ Thanks for another ear to ear grinning video.
I know its npt all fun and games but Im extremly happy about the live you ve made for yourselves, what I like the most is the way you are with each other . fair winds
Love seeing your regular boat chores!
When I was sailing around the Antarctic, we would moor against an Iceberg - chip off a chunk of million old ice - which would effervesce as it melted (releasing compressed air)
Growing up in Newfoundland we'd often get iceberg ice in the spring. I was always fascinated by the idea that the air inside hasn't changed in millions of years.
That’s a good feeling being provisions like that that’s great I know when the pandemic started and I started shopping for two and three weeks at a time it felt good now I’m down to happen to go to the store pretty much every day I should probably go ahead and get a big order again it was so convenient to have the food at home
Big POLAR BEAR hugs from Canada, have an awesome holiday season, and the haircut looks Terrific!
foam: Bio pollution....;) The foam is formed when biological material is broken down.
The phenomenon is due to so-called yellow matter, which is dissolved organic material. This collects and becomes visible where two water currents meet and form a front in the sea. Organic material that ends up in the sea collects in these belts. The phenomenon is common in summer, often during periods of calm weather. When this is broken down by bacteria, foam can form on the surface.
Thank you. My comment was going to be similar.
Most people would rather be lazy and just keep repeating the climate change narrative.
Haha whiskey with glacier ice, nice guys! That’s how it’s done💕 and that shot at 21:25 oh man gorgeous!
You two are the ultimate proof that you don’t need a super expensive, gigantic “blue water” boat to sail around the world. Y’all have been at this for many years now. What advise would you give to a couple wanting to start a similar journey with no experience?
Don‘t buy a Sofa.
They’ve literally given you a blueprint. Start their videos from the beginning. Only thing I would do different from them is I’d look for a bigger boat to salvage. Maybe a 45’ boat and a little wider too.
You also have to remember that their chemistry, charisma and their looks, honestly especially Kika’s looks and personality, have enabled them to be one of the lucky ones to have a super successful RUclips channel that allows them to financially pay for the salvage and remodeling of their boat and has allowed them to do all this traveling and upgrades to their boat as they travel to these wonderful places without having to have other jobs. So you have to consider that to unless you happen to have other money somewhere. Not everyone’s RUclips channels take off like this.
So as you watch their videos, consider the financial side of not only the cost of the boat, but the cost of basic survival and travel once you have the boat up and going.
Simple, small, safe....outstanding as always!
I was thinking the very same thing, that they are sailing and seeing the world on a very modest sailboat that is not breaking the bank. Its brilliant
Go small, go simple, go now.
So in the beginning, while Kika is working stuff into her out-tray, Dan is enjoying himself easy sailing, generating more for her intray.
😂😂
I respect the immediate instinct to have some wonderful whiskey with the glacial remnant. 😁
Beautiful filmed, edited and told. Love your adventure and your happy vibe spirits. Thank you for sharing!
Add a 12V or 48V heating element to your hot water heater. Dump excess solar to it, or add a switch to use existing solar panels to heat the water a bit. Even if you added another small panel to heat the water, it only takes a little bit to keep it warm-ish.
We don’t have “access” solar. We just make electrify for our main battery bank, and can do what ever we like with it. No need to complicate things. ;)
Slante - Team UMA! - that was certainly one of the more decadent Uisge Beatha swigs, albeit at that time of the day. From a famous Scottish distillery and on polar ice. Quite a fitting way to celebrate your success in many ways - funny and sad at the same time. A sign of the journey you have come. A salute to the good things in life. But also - a reminder of the melting polar icecaps due to climate change - quite literally. And delivered by one of the most ecology conscious sailing channels out there. A very visual demonstration of the quagmire mankind has maneuvered itself into. KEEP IT UP - You are doing excellent work. And hopefully soon, you will manage to have a fully electric dinghy as well!!!
Hey Guys nice one, have you ever thought of fitting little wheels to your dingy ? maybe you don't need them being young dudes but makes moving dingy so much easier especially when loaded up with weight. I'm 60 and could'nt do without them now lol ...:)
Welcome to Portugal
In the Med you come across thick slimy foam too. It's always near fish farms, don't know if it's from the fish food or what ..😁
best sailing channel
Miss your daily posts.
Love your videos guys and FYI, the hot tubs in Iceland, where you can see your boat are now ready. They were under construction when you were here. And if you ever come to Iceland again, pls. contact me as a friend and I will point you in the right directions. Your drone videos from here were out of this world, but it was only the tip of the iceberg. So to speak hehe.
It’d be interesting comparing food shopping prices along the way, to see some price differences.
Another great episode, by great people! Thank you for sharing and doing what you do! Stay Safe!
Beautiful, thank you.
I’m looking forward to discover Porto through your eyes.
Dan and Kika,
It's nice to have a sailing vessel that one person can sail without any difficulty; and I am a fan of keeping the number of lines in the cockpit to a minimum. I like your boat a lot and the work that y'all did to make the cabin layout your own is AWESOME; and going with an electric motor is the best concept that I could imagine. Kudo's to Dan and Kika; fantastic imagination.
I noticed that Kika was wearing her Port/Starboard socks. I have a few pair of those, myself.
Thank you for sharing.
Blue Skies, Fair Winds, and Following Seas.
Faithfully,
James
It is nice to see te casual side of your lives. Also the sunset was gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
when workday gets stressful, i can always relax with your videos
Great episode as always. There are small wheel that attach to the stern that will save the Dingy bottom from scratching when landing in the beaches. Might be worth look at them.
Love you and your "little boat" ! ❤
Love Glenmorangie too ! 😀
Beautiful and chill, thanks for that!
Awesome video love your videos
The greek islands is waiting for you during the winter when no tourists are around. Cycladic rocks and sun!!! Cheers!!!
Sea foam is actually caused from the decomposition of living things...when the water gets really turned up it creates the foam.
I know it's not all sunshine and lollipops but y'all made such a beautiful video out of what seems like a few normal days.
Living the dream!.
Just an idea for the trash problem for you guys- we put all organics in a little countertop bin and empty it once at sea (or at night when the current is going out of the anchorage). Things like banana peels I cut into small pieces so fish can eat it or it will decompose faster. Any soiled packaging we wash in saltwater and dry before putting it either in recycling or general waste. It's incredible how much we have cut down on trash bags this way and nothing ever smells. We can go for weeks without needing to take out the trash. The recycling gets full first.
Same on our boat. We usually just blend up organics in the blender and pour it down the drain.
If we prep food we’ll, we can go 2-3 weeks with only making one bag of plastic waste. But when we’re coastal, we don’t spend as much time prepping so we make more trash. But it’s only one small bag a week. So pretty good compared to before.
for future reference hammocks are surprisingly really effective for carrying groceries between two people
Drinking glacier ice in Spain is a rather unique experience 😀
Friends, enjoy Portugal. Porto, Lisbon and Algarve. Greetings from Granada-España.
Sticking to the script with another night arrival, I see. Lol, just one more wonderful step, which was recorded/edited really well, as always! Thank you and safe travels!!
I love your neat and organized cabin. You should do boat design.
We are: ruclips.net/video/7UYjEDkYJPc/видео.html
Love the realness
You two are just the cutest, working and laughing yourselves silly.
I'm looking forward to your time in MY Spain. 😃 I served in the US Navy in Rota Spain in the '70s for a couple years. LOVE Spain ❤️
Kia ora from New Zealand...Love your Canuck style [similar to us Kiwis]. Since 2016 i have been travelling around NZ in my self-sufficient motorhome on a permanent basis and relate to your lifestyle choice. Just seen my first YT video of your adventures and looking forward to following you both, more. Buena suerte Dan y Kika 👌
Love the music you choose! awesome...
Nice music selection on this episode. Very chill and unobtrusive.
Your boat is one of the easiest and cleanest sleek systems. Where's the Ramen on arrival? Great hair cut! So glad you are out of the north Pole. It's great to see warmer weather. Blessings!
I've watched just about all of your videos, but for some reason I really enjoyed that one,
ATB Pete
We used to have the Bosch 6 Gallon water heater in our van before moving onto a boat and we LOVED it. It took about ten minutes for both of us to have hot showers. Highly recommend it.
- Ashley & Colin
Is it gas? Electric? What does it draw? What voltage?
@@SailingUma Electric, 1400 watts, 120v / 220v depending on country of ordering it. 10 mins in summer and 15 mins in winter and you get super hot water. There is also a 4-gallon version that we used in some of our van builds given it is more compact.
\
@@SailingUma search Bosch 7-gallon water heater if you’re interested
I'm sat on a beach in Fuengirola near Malaga, could just about spot you guys in the next week if I was staying, I'm guessing, but we fly back to the uk today. Thanks for another great video.
What a difference to other channels you have so much experience and discipline as well as joie de vivre
And really, really good editing.
Outstanding! 👍🏾
So nice seeing that you’re sailing in Spain and Portugal.😄😄
You guys are the best love watching this
Beautiful sailing and great editing 👍👍⛵️⛵️⛵️💕💕
What a delightful step, guys. Just all the fun vibes one could hope for ...
Can't Miss with the Shears!!!! That is what I use😁😁 of course I am not so Rolly 🤣🤣😂😂
That was great!
Good as always
I used to use a local salon at 35$ per haircut every 5ish weeks or so. 2020 saw my wife do the cutting and now we buy wine with the saved money!! good job !!
Your sparkly sand: this condition also exists along the atlantic side of the Quiberon peninsula in Brittany, France. In the waves the sand particles catch the sun and it's like a glitter-bath; they stick to the skin and everything is coated in sparkles. Delightful.
Thank you-great ,amigo, 🙂
I know you guys are doing your random climbing and adventure stuff, but I would love to see you go up a french river or canal and visit all the little cities and towns on the way and eat at the restaurants and show us what life is like there.
Our boat draws too much to do the French canals. And w/ an electric motor, we don’t really do the whole “motoring” thing. But maybe we can rent a canal boat and take a trip one of these days
