Kika's silks always amazes me. It looks like she just gets in her Zone and this one with the blowing Wind and Snow was beautifully shot Dan. Most excellent video all around guys. Thank you so much for sharing.
Knowing Kika is around, makes the World a far better place to live in❤
What a lovely thought.
I agree wholeheartedly!
I've been waiting sooooo long for you to do the silks again. That was breathtakingly beautiful and the snow just capped it all.
Too bad I'm limited to one thumb up because it certainly deserved at least two.
Kika, your sky dancing in the snow is one of the most beautiful things I've seen on the internet! great docking too, by the way.
Kika, I have written so many times how much I appreciate your honesty when things go awry while you are working and improving your skills and the frustration that comes with learning and mastering something and the guts and confidence to leave it in the video is VERY inspiring. You are such a cool woman!!! You set an example that is just really wonderful! I love how you and Dan work together to be successful.
your excessive praise is patronising
Well said...I feel the same way. Kika & Dan are sooooo inspiring!!
@@dprfail I doubt Kika, or anyone, gives a shit. But I understand why you said that.
@@dprfail nah. You're wrong.
She's an enchanting child, living inside an accomplished, adventurous woman.
This episode had it all packed into 27 minutes. Sailing, docking, scenery, history and gymnastic artistry. I can honestly say i was never tempted to FF. You guys are great.
Their storytelling, filming and editing have pretty much left all the other sailing channels in the dust. (Wait, Kika just said this episode was filmed in April. I guess it should be great if it took months to edit! ; )
⛵️ Most sailing channels would break this episode into four episodes and charge their patrons four times the amount. Dan and Kika are the best ⛵️
@@dh5645 Yeah RUclips just recommended a new sailing channel to me today and it was another young couple, but this time they were obnoxious trust fund babies who had the gall to set up a Patreon before they even put up any content besides their premier video with their new 43' Beneteau (with zero sailing experience). The level of entitlement and narcissism in some people is mind-boggling. I guess it's the Kardashian effect.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017
Yep, " the Kardashian effect." or having nothing intelligent to say or show. So desperatily shallow and stupid.
Tha's our society now. Oh well... 😱
When was this recorded?
The contrast of the colourfulness of the silks against the snowy grey/white background was awesome so dramatic - brilliant but I know it was freezing, so was it worth it? I think so but I wasn't the one freezing. I loved it, thanks Kika 👍🏼
Who else keeps pausing the video to admire the spectacular landscape shots?
Me! :)
Me!
Always.
Me too
How are you able to post a comment 2 days ago when I just got notified about an hour ago? Cheers
Kikas silk performance is an absolute highlight! Crazy and touching at the same time. What a mixture out of the harsh environment with the fragility and elegance that she showed us. Applause!
Dan is such an awesome person to sail with. So supportive, encouraging, patient, and a great teacher.
that's why I keep him around 😉
As Dan said it is insane, she is insane doing that but at the same time it is beautiful, outstanding, extraordinary performance and you both are unique. Stay away from the couch :)
Kika doing her thing while it’s snowing!! Very Cool !!!
I felt honoured watching Kika’s performance via that boom using her silks.
I’m so relieved you guys posted a video this week, I was getting a little bit worried.
Lindi - so was I. I was SO relieved!!!
Me too, all the way from Cape Town 🇿🇦
I'm thinking they are having issues finding places with Wi-Fi to upload their videos. I'm not a patron so I am not sure where they are now since this was filmed over three months ago. Maybe I should sign up!
me too!! Always wondering if you guys are ok
No doubt, Since Tuesday I also had the same mindset where the heck is my mad couple.
SV Delos and you guys are from the best adventures I ever came across.
New winter Olympic sport for the next Olympics Games in China. Double handed sailing race with boat handling skills test, Arctic North Navigation exercise , sub zero cross country hiking, and high flying silk gymnastics during sub arctic adverse weather conditions. I am putting my money on the Canada Team UMA Gold!!! I can visualize UMA being towed around the Olympic Parade. WOW!
I thought that this was going to be just another great Uma video. You know, spectacular landscapes, great cinematography, awesome sailing. Then Kika had to go and get her silks out. On a virtually deserted island, on an abandoned crane, during a snowstorm. MAGICAL! Thank you Dan and KIka!!
The Silks, absolutely beautiful. I have never seen anyone use this art form like this except you. Moved an old man to tears. Many thanks. 😍
Just subbed. I feel like you two are a hidden gem of the RUclips sailing community. Love the real perspective of backing the boat up and not a purely sensationalized version of sailing.
Dan and Kika, you two have it all going on. It was well worth the 2 week wait for step 274. Sailing, sail control lesson, docking lesson, scenery history, drone photography and Kika on Silks…..quite simply beautiful. Thank you!
3 actually
Dan, you are an excellent and calm instructor. Great job encouraging. Kika, that was so amazing on the silks in snow. When you are on the silks, everything changes. Pure elegance and poetry every time.
KIKA!!! You da LADY!!! Not only sticking to that reverse docking ( I'd be sitting on a sunken boat by now), YOU did it!!! Then turning around and doing your silks in a blizzard!!! YOU ROCK LADY!!! Dan's one very very lucky guy to have the Haitian Tigress of the North to travel with. I'm hoping the locals may have seen some of that too. Now with Dan they might have had the usual comeback of 'Crazy Canuck' but to see someone out of tropics barefoot and barehanded doing a slow dance on silks, now that's too damn special to not take notice of....DAMNNNNNNNNNNN. Dan lucky lucky you!
The music, the slow motion, the flow, the straight up sexiness of the silks is beautiful, I loved it you guys.
She might be insane, but she's YOUR'S my friend! 🤩 If we all were only so blessed!
has anyone anywhere EVER done a silks routine in blowing snow? Great shots & color contrast especially. Well done!
I'm a caregiver for the elderly and disabled. One of my clients is bedridden, so he can't go anywhere. He watches RUclips over half his day. He has been watching you for the last few years and today he was taking a nap and your videos ran one after the other. I am now hooked I'm watching other people live their lives. Lol
Thank you for everything you do. I'm sure you don't hear that nearly enough. It's incredibly important and under appreciated.
@@joer8854 oh, thanks Joe. You're too kind and that is really considerate.
I'm very fortunate, the clients I do have are a breeze. This client in particular loves watching the creators that build things from scratch, farmers and he loves boating channels and of course this channel.
Kika - seeing you practice docking in reverse over and over again gives ME confidence. Even if I did a docking class, it is always very nerve racking. I just passed my Canada Sail beginner level class and I have to admit, while doing my manoeuvres, I had you and a few other sailling ladies in mind, giving me the courage.
As someone who has recently fallen 30 feet from a mast and survived (broken), I watched with amazement and terror. Stunningly beautiful.
Dan and Kika, This episode is so beautiful especially Kika working it with silks. Wow, you guys ROCK! Keep up the great adventures and be safe out there!
This is without a doubt one if not the best of your episodes. Here I am at 90 years old in Yuma, AZ @ 110 degrees shivering watching you both. You both should be very proud of your self. You make my week.
Thank You! and God Bless!
The drama added by the silks is just amazing! You two rock!
They need to contact Guinness... first person to 'do silks' while suspended from a crane in a snowstorm in Norway!!! :^)
Did you ever imagine in 100 years that you would be doing silks in the snow in Norway? Absolutely beautiful.
In April while it's snowing??
How totally amazing and spellbinding - silks in ythe snow..!! Glorious and yes a little insane.
Another champion episode, thank you D & K
Everything in your videos is so full of calm. And Dan has a very bright future to be the most patient teacher ever. Go on you two! Love your work!
Doing silks from a crane on Meløyvær while it's snowing! That's spectacular!
GREAT EPISODE!! Seriously had me zoned IN the ENTIRE time! The ending with Kika on the Silks... So much strength, it was awesome to watch and with the weather and scenery truly beautiful. The two of you make a great team and really give your subscribers amazingly interesting and unique content. I can genuinely say I watch 3-4 sailing channels on a regular basis and there has always been something a little bit different about yours. 😘 Thankyou for being bold and adventuring were others don't.
The light in Norway is stunning, some of those shots if the islands with dramatic peaks in the far background are amazing.
Dan’s a good teacher; he’s patient and gives encouragement.
Yeah I agree......think I better improve my wife's training before she see's a lawyer 😂
Absolutely amazing, Kika on the silks was so beautiful.
That was so beautiful! Seriously! Tears and goosebumps!
For real !!!!
Amazing artistry with the silks! Wow! So beautiful!! Freezing but so worth it!
🥰 Yup, went on exchange trip to NFLD 🇨🇦 back in 70s. Went cod jigging. Still have my jigger. Beautiful place, beautiful people ❤ Do you know how much you you keep us sane? We adore you thru thick and thin. AB here.🥰🌏🐻🌿
Yes Kika, you are insane doing "that" in the cold and snow. But it is one of the reasons I love you both!!!
I can’t believe a girl who grew up in the tropics is doing that. Beautiful!
Beautiful as always! You keep surprising me with your editing-, photography- and storytelling-skills (also I loved to see the silks back again, they always look so spectacular). Happy to see another video of you in this beautiful country!
I loved this episode! As a novice sailor, motoring in reverse is still baffling to me. I really appreciated hearing Dan's advice and watching how Kika adjusted your approach until you succeeded. The silks scene is purely magical!
Reverse just takes WAY more patience that forward. You have to give the helm a little input and wait...wait....wait.... like count to 10, to get a response. If you over steer, you loos control very quickly.
Docking in reverse is very difficult and even though I understand it well and can do it consistently, it took me a long time to figure out and I would have a very difficult time directing someone on how to do it. I just sort of have to feel it and go, so props to Dan for explaining it so calmly and Kika for not giving up. It's a necessary skill and confidence helps a lot, so it will get easier in the future now that you know you can do it. Also prop walk is a ***** when it's working against you like that. Cheers guys and thanks for another great video!
Watching Kik doing the silks, in the beautiful background of mountains, water and huge fluffy snowflakes, the grace and beauty stunned me silent.💜🇨🇦
Glad to see this new STEP uploaded... Another great episode... And you guys really sail !
You actually successfully docked on the first attempt... Dan, if you had the stern line in hand, when you hopped off, you could have tied off and then with a toss of the fore line the bow could have been pulled in.... But I understand practicing .... It makes perfect and you did perfect Kika.
Dan props for you climbing the cranes twice to secure and release her Silks... And beautiful work with them Kika.... You might check with Ripley's for a record for furthest North Silk Work in Snow.....you might have the record....lol
Definitely one of your best videos yet. Kiki, you are a multi skilled multi talented inspirational girl that gives everyone that watches your videos a big lift. Keep up the good work guys, brilliant photography. Thank you for making an 80 year old ex mariner very happy
Kika I have been waiting for silks in the snow but what the heck……..no bathing suit? Lol I do silks outside in Florida in the summer and I hate getting in the perfect stretch/pose and the mosquitoes starts biting. I’ll take that over the cold though. You look beautiful as always! Thank you guys for another great episode!
Not much mosquitos in Norway this time of year ! 🤣
@@marcryvon Mosquitos aren't that crazy :-) !
@@tomriley5790 tell that to the Alaskans. haha
Practicing docking is essential. As long as nothing broke or someone gets hurt, its a good docking... no matter how many times you try it. Breaking up a maneuver when it seems not to be ok, is better than trying to do it and be in a worse situation.
The silk was amazing 😍
It’s so gorgeous to see Kika perform under the snow !
💕💕💕
I was born and raised on the island of Andøya just across the fjord of Meløyvær. Seeing you exploring that area and even performing with silk in that kind of weather fills my heart with joy. I know how absolutely freezing cold that snow, wind and damp air is, and how it totally saps the warmth out of you. Still with proper clothing and activity it is a serene beauty and stillness to the landscape that I have not experienced any other place. Kudos to you two for venturing so far north and thriving in the landscape.
Missed y'all! So relaxing and educational to watch. You are Medicine People. Thank you.
I have been watching your videos for 18months and really enjoy your trip around Norway. The backdrops of the mountains are like living in a dream. The weather is extreme but beautiful. The little towns are magical and the facilities look amazing even if they are minimal . Boat handling at the dock is challenging most times but Kika you nailed it. Well done! Thanks for your efforts in making these videos. I may never get to go there but because of you guys I have experienced a tiny piece of heaven.
The red colour looks amazing against the greys ❤ I'm still in the Carribean on the binge watch but I couldn't resist this one. The water is so clear in Norway too! ❄❄❄
Kika, You know you don't have to be mad ... But it does help !! Stay safe & Fair Winds !!
For all those who doubted, Kika can back that up.
Love the silk footage. Any residents nearby must have been wondering about your sanity (even though they probably enjoyed watching).
Kika, you are absolutely beautiful on the silks.... but we wouldn't know it without Dan's great photography. Thanks you two!
As for reverse practice... never fear, thanks for letting know you too are real people like us. We ALL go thru stuff like that. It's nice to not always watch polished and edited perfection in things.
Kika, as life time seilor and i spend 34yrs at sea, when i saw your silks again in Snowy and very unique place, you make my eyes watery in real, it was so unique and fantastic. Big thank you from Polar Bear as they use to call me. Love it. Hope to meet you guys when i get back out the sea
Thank you Kika for being brave enough to both film and share your docking practice! So helpful to hear you and Dan think through the process and variables and to see it play out. I'm right there with you Kika - backing up to a dock is a whole different beast. And as always thanks you for taking us along on your exploration of beautiful places!
Wow Kika, that was beautiful! I am so proud of the two of you, I see that Canadian flag and think “your in Norway”! 🇨🇦❤️BC
Yes certifiable Dan, the things people do for art. Looked fantastic, so worth it . 10/10 for artistic merit.
Insanely beautiful. Thanks for getting cold hands and feet to give us silks in the snow. That was spectacular and unique. I marvel at your strength and suppleness.
I’m working on my stern-in dockings too and I haaaaate it!! 😅 The prop walk, managing minimum control speed, the whole thing is just no fun! But I keep reminding myself practicing is the only way I’ll get better, and the things I’m worst at/hate the most are the things I really need to practice. So good to see another woman making it through that same struggle!
Great footage. These remote locations are beautiful. The silks were mesmerizing. Thanks
You guys always pick the perfect music to accompany your epic adventures! May the winds be ever at your back!
Just have to remember that when you are practicing something you need to learn how to do better you will make mistakes which can be frustrating and disheartening but the mistakes are part of the process but you have to work through them without giving up in order to improve. Don't let the learning process overwhelm you. You can do anything with enough practice.
I have never stepped foot on a sail boat in my life before BUT I never imagined it to be so complicated. I always thought you got in & either put up the sails or took them down…. Simple… that’s it!!! Well, well, have I been surprised, lost at time & googled a lot of words. I’m hooked on sailing. I will probably never step foot on one still but I am living a sailors life through you two!!! I love you guys !!!!!💕💕💕
@@maggieferrell4538 it is complicated and takes years to master. I have sailed for many decades and still learn something new on every sail. However that shouldn’t stop you from sailing. Once you are hooked it is immensely gratifying. That is why you hear them often say that it was a great sail. Powering yourself over the water with just the force of the winds is almost magical.
The beauty and serenity of you and the silks with the snow was breath taking. Thank you for sharing this slice of peace with the world.
Dan and Kika, This episode is so beautiful especially Kika working it with silks. Wow, you guys ROCK! Keep up the great adventures and be safe out there!
That was incredibly beautiful. Thank you fir ensuring the cold to bring us such stunning images
I love this! this video is gorgeous I would love to see more videos of Kika performing! Those shots are phenomenal! The contrast of the red silks with the snow coming down is just jaw dropping 😲 very artfully done!
Amazing video! I loved watching you practice docking Kika! You got it girl!! ⚡👏
How dramatic is that - Silks in the snow. Insane and beautiful. 😘
I love the way you guys show your faults and mistakes. We’re all learning by practice.
Landscape in northen part of Norway my home land is breathtaking but Kika takes it to a whole new level. What a great natural real lady.
My goodness, I was holding my breath the whole time kika was reversing, perfect docking as always. After the snow ❄ the scenery was so beautiful. Then the silks what a wonderful video Thank you so much sending lots love xxxx
Insanely beautiful silk acrobat dance!! kika showed her soul and body in different side of personality. Dan with super videography. 👏👏👏👏
Kika thanks for sharing your "insanity"!
Original constant at its finest!
The title to this episode is spot on! I don’t think any brown-skinned (or otherwise) beauties have done silks in the snow before and I have to say that Kika was mesmerizing. Such poise and grace. I was hoping that the silks did not suddenly think they were a spinnaker, broke free, and brought her to the Land of Oz! Despite not being in a bikini, this was a truly memorable episode! Well done.
One nice trick when reversing a boat with wheel steering (assuming the controls are all accessible) is to just stand on the other side of the wheel, facing backwards. No mental adjustment needed, both the wheel and throttle will behave just like you're used to 😊
But then you can’t watch the bow. Equally important to know what the bow is doing.
@@SailingUma Sure you can, just turn your head every once in a while! Horses for courses I suppose, but for me personally, being "based" backwards makes for the least friction when reversing.
While that works for helming now the throttle and shifter are backwards. Either way works just fine you just need to practise to become comfortable with the method.
@@donb4386 Throttle/shifter is still "push it the way you want to go", it's very intuitive.
@A M There's plenty of time to practice doing it the "proper" way after gaining confidence and experience doing it the easy way 😉
It's like ballet in the air. So cool that you did it in cold snow. Such strength and grace. I can only imagine the muscle it takes to do that, especially when it's cold!
"Its April"
My wife and I just celebrated our 34th anniversary on the water
6 days in south Puget Sound. Week of May 16th.
J pod came down and reduced the seak population. We watched two times where tbey hunted.
----------
I can't eait till Canada opens its border. I have family in Vancouver and Maple Ridge as well as Thompson Reserve and Calgary.
Sorry I cant afford to be a Patrein, (I work a lot if overtime just to have a boat.) But your inspiration is causing me to sell my couch for an S211C .
We are a bit ilder but you kids have rekindled dreams. In 2 years, Lord willing, our adventures begin.
Just do it, we did, it’s had work, but it’s great.
Insane for sure and inspiring. The 2 of you are great. So fun to be nuts!
WOW , Kika is very strong and fit. Keep yourself in good shape and you gonna live a long and healthy life. That message is for everybody reading this.
The music and the silks was amazing!
Love places like this. Thanks for sharing !
Climbing the silks in the snow was a genius call. Well done, that looked amazing.
One of the best episodes ever!
G'day UMA, the shot from the drone, overhead, was bloody gorgeous. Kika's performance left me absolutely gobsmacked mate. She's wicked incredible. Good on ya Kika! Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺.
Wow! Another epic video showing your adventures, skills, talents, editing and videography! Simply amazing you two!
Kika and Dan you are such a beautiful couple that have created such an amazing sailing channel. About a year or so ago you were both is such despair about not being granted a visa to sail in to this beautiful place. The people that advocated on your behalf and the authorities that granted you the permission to sail upon this magical journey I can only say to them thank you, thank you, and more thank you ... this is an amazing adventure. Bring me MORE please. Oh yeah ... silks above the arctic circle with a snow squall ... awesome! All the best to you both and most of all thanks for sharing. Cheers!!!
Amazing video! I loved the sailing, as I always do, and the reverse docking practice but was blown way by the silks! Great job on both Kika!
I'd say you nailed the third try Kika! That's a whole lot better than the people that haven't even given it one try!! Another great video guys, love following along with Uma's adventures.
I love insane people like you. This one of the absolutely best episode, and I've seen them all.
Another lovely film. So accomplished. A joy to watch. Not sure why but Kika's performance with the silks brought tears to my eyes. Quite emotional. Was it my mood, the scenery, the weather. Certainly performance art. Going to watch it again! Thank you
Every single moment is a delight with you two and UMA. Loved the reversing attempts and success. Arctic silks ... why not!
Was I the only one that, for real clapped and said WTG Kika when she backed into that dock like a pro? I'm really becoming too emotionally invested in these videos LOL....keep up the good work you two!
Wow, that was amazing: the docking on reverse and specially the silks. I SO want to learn how to do that. Kika ROCKS! 💝🙌🏻👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻
Of all the RUclips sailing channels out there, Sailing Uma is the best. Instead of looking at people easy sailing in the south in bikinis, you guys are wearing multilayer foul weather gear, sailing North of the Arctic circle, in the middle of winter showing us one of the most amazing scenery in the world. Your mastery of filming, editing and story-telling is outstanding. And, well, Kika doing silks in the snow with snow-covered mountains in the back? There are no words to describe that beauty.
nicely done with the silks. you look so smooth and agile. what a talent. fun to watch.
So much beauty in this episode. The silks and the backdrop in particular was mesmerizing.
This was SUCH a beautiful video! Traveling north to an amazing place few ever see, then Kika's beautiful flowing performance on the silks. Thanks for sharing all this beauty.
Wow, a girl from Haiti dancing in the air on silk ribbons hung from a rusted-out crane in a snow storm in Norway to which she travelled in a sailboat on RUclips. Life is wonderful and getting better.
