Beautiful the way those sharks move through the water 🌊 and they seemed totally calm with you guys there. That is just awesome! Learning a great deal about free diving, cannot wait to have those breathtaking experiences. Great video Kika and Dan!
Great underwater video footage Davy! When I used to snorkel and scuba dive in Panama I carried an 18-24" wooden rod of hard wood (made from a shovel handle or similar material) that I would use to hold off against the rocks during wave surges and currents. I also used it as a deterrent for waving off sharks, barracudas, or moray eels got a little too close. A bit easier to wield than a spear shaft. Great day with Davy and Erica. Nom nom nom - awesome looking nachos! Great video! Thanks & Cheers!
Hey Lagoon, Fountaine-Pajot, Sunreef, Leopard, Catana, Balance, Privilege, HH, Seawind, etc..., You are letting Outremer show YOU all up! Offer UMA a new Cat!!!!!
I was scared stiff just watching you swim with the sharks! Perfect video though! I am retired on the beautiful island of Mallorca, Spain and can see the Palma Bay from my terrace, so I have several couches, but you are doing it right: fully enjoy your life and thanks for letting us participate!
Great video! Lovely videos of the sharks, I've dived with reef sharks before and it was a lovely experience, they're amazing and beautiful creatures - like so many things underwater clearly completely alien to our way of life. I'm deeply respectful of sharks and their role in our ecosystem but have to admit that when it comes to some species (Bull Sharks being one of them) I'm very aware that I potentially look like dinner.
What a beautiful place! I don't know how many times I'm going to wish I was there! You've got to go to a couple places where no one would want to be so those of us watching can say - "Well, I'm glad I here and not there!" . lol
I know you said those sharks wouldn’t bother you , but it would be my luck that one of them was to dumb to know that, sooooo I think I would just stay on board. Best to you both and thanks for the video !!
We get this often in the Solent. Hundreds of boats filled with hoorays thinking with their testosterone as they charge around circuits known only to them. We cruisers sail through their races and get away.
Just a note. After living and diving in the Bahamas for almost 10 years. The sharks in the video were Caribbean Reef sharks. You do not want to swim with Bull sharks.. too unpredictable!
Skip Baker correct the ones we filmed where Caribbean reef but the one that was stealing our fish earlier in the day was a young male bull ... they are both very similar in there skittish behaviour and neither of them are to be afraid of in clear water
@Barefoot Sail & Dive I have a contrary opinion regarding Bull Sharks in clear water. While I certainly agree that they should not be feared, it's my opinion that they should be deeply, DEEPLY respected even in crystal clear water. Not 2 months ago, in clear water off the Eastern coast of Great Harbour Cay, I was the "victim" of a shark attack by an 8ft Bull Shark. I use quotes, because I was only rammed by the shark, which badly bruised my ribs and made if difficult for me to breath for several days thereafter. I was spearfishing and had just taken a large Yellowtail Snapper to the surface in about 25' of water. The Bull Shark "bump" felt like being tackled by a linebacker. It was a very odd sensation to feel such an immense and abrupt pressure underwater where kinetic forces are typically much lessened. The really odd part about it was that I was only in 3ft of water when the Bull Shark made it's move. When I felt the bump, I dropped my spear/fish, flipped over on by back, and started back-peddling like crazy. My feet could touch bottom, at this point and I was desperately trying to make some distance between myself and the wildly thrashing shark which, at this point, had the fish & spear in it's mouth. I vividly remember the red shaft of my pole spear whipping around violently through the air and the water as the shark rapidly shook back and forth. Then, as quickly as the event began, the shark, my spear, and the Yellow Tail Snapper were all gone back into the deep, clear water. Even though I was highly diligent in scanning the surrounding area while I was spearing, I never saw the shark before the attack. A few minutes after the event, I swam back out into the deeper water to see if the shark may have dropped my polespear nearby. To my surprise, not only did I find the shark swimming along the bottom, but it also still had my 10ft polespear still lodged in it's mouth. That's the point when I could clearly identify the shark as a large Bull, and also have a convenient sense of scale as to how large it was in comparison to the 10' long polespear that the shark had in tow. I made no attempt to reclaim my polespear from the 8ft Bull Shark. He seemed a touch agitated at this point and I, reluctantly, deemed it best to allow him to keep the polespear as a reminder of our brief time that we enjoyed together. I do say that in jest, of course... my true feeling is that I hope that shark was able to shake my polespear so that it could go on doing sharky things, unencumbered by the inconvenience of towing around a 10' polespear. Even though there's no way to know the truth of why this event transpired, I still wonder if the Bull Shark was interested in me and I just happened to drop a tasty fish when it rammed me, OR if the shark was aware that I had a fish out of the water and it rammed me to make me give up the fish. The 2 mistakes I made were - 1) Not having a spearing buddy close by. 2) Not having the dinghy close by. I will not repeat either of those mistakes again. This is one of those times where the phrase, "The Luck Of A Fool", has poignant meaning. As scary as this shark attack event was, I still love and respect sharks. They are wonderful, amazing and beautiful creatures, BUT they operate on highly keen instincts that, unfortunately, allow these types of scary events to happen at times. It's not their fault, it's just the way they're wired, and it's our job to operate in a manner that respects that behavior & instinct. I do have a single special request, if I may ask it... Keep a lookout for my red 10' polespear off of Petit Cay in the Berry's, but be aware that there my be a 8ft Bull Shark attached to it. -Ben
Ben, sounds scary. Have you seen this: th-cam.com/video/JgSH9nnAA7A/w-d-xo.html Your story, and other experiences of ours and others, let us to modify our Hawaiian sling to prevent close encounters like this. We added a line about a foot back from the tip and attached it to our handle-like a spear gun. That way, while you swim to the surface, the tasty fish is dangling well below you. Sharks have highly evolved and very sensitive sensing mechanisms and putting some distance between you and the fish keeps them far enough away that they won't ram you to get to your dying fish.
How did a Dutch Albert Hein (AH) bag end up on Uma!! 🤪😂😂 Watching from my couch (I bought one 😩) I suddenly see that bag from an iconic supermarket chain here in the Netherlands go through the shot. Good one though it is meant to be reused, the Dutch text “Gebruik mij opnieuw. Meer doen voor het klimaat. Gewoon bij Albert Hein” means “Please reuse me. Do more for the climate. The norm for AH” LOL 😂!!! Keep on sailing guys, don’t buy that couch as you are looking great and living the dream hehe! 👍👍
Another excellent vid! Great camerawork. I have spent a lot of time on Great Exuma over the decades. The harbour is getting really busy in the season. I remember going there in the 70s and it was beautiful and quiet. Keep the awesome vids coming. BTW, what was that the shark gobbled off the bottom at about the 10:10 point? I was thinking Lion or lobster.
Could you please share your experience with cooking on the Origo cooker? I own the same model and put a cast iron grill plate on it recently, could do hamburgers and sausages, but it was mess to clean afterwards. What do you cook, what pans do you use?
Your video work is really good. Only thing is I bought a couch. I paid $200k for it. I built a 3 car garage on the property. Its all paid off. I wish I had the nerve to sell and buy a boat and live like you guys. I don't know how long you plan on doing this. But so far it looks like a lot of fun. Do it for as long as you want! Thank you for providing content so I could at least see how the life could be if I decided to do it. But the likelihood of me doing it is very slim. I'm too old now.
Your "buddy boat" is REALLY a buddy; only if you are in dire need of TP and they are the only hope! C'mon, spare a roll or three... Buddy boat skipper says: "You got rum?" ... You say: "NOT THE RUM!" ... Buddy skipper says: "How bad do you need TP?!" .... you reply: "Screw it! I'll just start cutting off squares from my t-shirt to wipe."...
@@SailingUma Moral of the story is:... NEVER run short on T's & Rum... TP really can be optional 😁! Next time you hit a port... you will probably be wearing one of those "Sun T's" that just covers the shoulders and chest. Only the initiated will really know 😎.
Well done nice vid I wouldn’t be to comfortable hanging out with those sharks I don’t trust them if one of them wants a leg steak or an arm nibble they just take it , oh well good luck
Those are not bull sharks. Bull sharks are extremely dangerous and can swim in both salt and freshwater. Those sharks look like reef sharks. How far away are you from a hospital?
I told my wife I want to dive with sharks . She said why? I said how many people can say they dove with sharks..better yet how many with all their appendages can say that =) she said I am an ass ...but she married me =)
James Maxwell shredded American cheese and olives on chips? Kind of boring looking actually - very Canadian version. But I appreciated the preparation - in a covered pan instead of a microwave
I am surprised that those sharks hung around that much. Not much for them to eat. Possibly they have been condition so that when they see humans they think they can get a free meal by moving in on any spear fishing kills.
They only showed up when fishing, but after we gave up on fishing, we dumped the rest of our chum in the water for them to snack on. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been that close or interested.
Some countries still do, but it's like eating a Dolphin or Whale, why bother. They're vital part of the oceans ecosystem and keep the reefs healthy by eating all the dead and dying or sick and injured fish. We much prefer to be a shark that eat one.
Haha. They actually can tell the difference between the dead or dying fish in your hand or on you spear and the very alive hand holding it. The first time diving there, the first shark surprised me by pulling the fish right off the spear by my hand. I just felt a tug, turned, at the shark and fish were gone. That far from the ocean, surrounded by such shallow water, we were NOT expecting any sharks in there. After that, we kept a better watch while diving. But in clear water, they're very selective. If your not dead or dying, they pretty much leave you alone.

Wonderful video, and great editing, ...thank you for sharing with us. Safe travels.
What amazing animals sharks are. Perfect lines since millions and millions of years. Thank you for swim with them and share all the footages with us.
They make delicious soups.
My brain sees people close together and goes 'nooo social distance'. This is such a lovely reminder of what normal will be again!
The boat looks so comfortable. Really great job refitting her. Yes Dan show off the lazy suzan turnstile storage. Love it
Those nachos looked soooo good! Great video Kika and Dan. Thank you so much.
Fat Susan is working awesome! Love how fast you sail Uma. Love the shark footage. I dove with them in Roatan and Cancun.. so fun.
Highlight of my day was seeing those sharks. Thanks a lot.
You guys have become my most important show to watch. Thank you for what you guys do! Enjoy and have a good one for me!!!
Love waking up to a new Sailing Uma video ❤️
Beautiful the way those sharks move through the water 🌊 and they seemed totally calm with you guys there. That is just awesome! Learning a great deal about free diving, cannot wait to have those breathtaking experiences. Great video Kika and Dan!
Nice video and exciting with the sharks.
This was a Truly Awesome Episode loved every minute guys 💖💖💖💖
Awesome video guys!
Had fun you guys. Thank you. Sail on.✌🏽😎
Bull sharks have been known to bite humans in murky water, same as tigers. Looks like like great fun!
Great footage with the sharks! And the day on the beach looked like a lot of fun. Thanks again Kika & Dan
Great underwater video footage Davy! When I used to snorkel and scuba dive in Panama I carried an 18-24" wooden rod of hard wood (made from a shovel handle or similar material) that I would use to hold off against the rocks during wave surges and currents.

Thanks for making these videos. I plan on be living on a sail boat in 5 years. Thanks to Uma!
love you guys, keep on paving the path .
peace
Love the close ups of the sharkies :)
Your page always makes me smile. Great editing job guys!!
People: Nope. I'm not swimming with Bruce.
Me: Pushes everyone and jumps in the water with the cuties. They are not scary at all.
we enjoyed thanks for taking us for a dive and a beach party …
Almost got the whole whistling bit down on your ending. LOL Nice job on the vid guys. Have fun, be safe and KEEP ON SAILIN ON! cheers RJ

I'm sure they'll be some days this spring and summer on our sails north that will make you glad you not onboard. ;)
Love your big blue shopper bag from this big dutch grocery shop :-)
You guys are having way too much fun! Here in London it was 11C.
I know you said those sharks wouldn’t bother you , but it would be my luck that one of them was to dumb to know that, sooooo I think I would just stay on board. Best to you both and thanks for the video !!
great beach game!
I love your lifestyle!
Thanks for the video. it all looked good fun :)
Killed it again, awesome video
awesome natcho supper
Never been sailing probably never will go sailing but yoy guys are dope to watch and i lobe the different boat projwvts yall tackle
That would be me.
Step 1: See what direction everyone else is going.
Step 2: Go the other way.

I love ur trip!!!!!!! Wow
Your friend is a GoPro ace!
Nick Caffrey thanks that’s me ;-)

This channel has run slap out of any content.
On which planet are you living?
So how big were those sharks? Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
6-7 ft (ish) didn’t get out the measuring tape, but one was about our length and the other two were a bit longer.
There is that split-second shot with the diving-fin close to the shark. That gives some guestimate. Anyway: far toooooo big for my comfort!

It's properly set. We were just VERY overpowered in that shot, trying to pass our buddies ;)
Hmmm I thought bull sharks were very aggressive....maybe not...yeah? Also Kika when your is full out you kinda remind me of Diana Ross.

Was that really bull sharks? Arent they suppose to be more bulky in the front? Like a bull?
Yea...😆 it was later on, we learned they were reef sharks. we're obviously not shark experts lol
