I am 64 years old and a long time sailor/boater. I’ve never commented on TH-cam, but was moved to do so by your incredible mental and physical toughness. You two give me hope for your generation and the future. Congratulations on “raising your threshold” and safe sails. Ray
I’m an ol guy to, and not a sailor, but soo enjoyed these two. Like you, I have such hope with so many of the youngsters. The trust for/with each other...hang on to each other. Wonderful! 😍
A few years ago my son (now 18) had to write an essay about how he thought his generation was perceived and to ask us what we thought of his generation. He seemed really surprised how optimistic my wife and I are about his generation. We are proud of our children and a lot less proud of how our generation has run things. My children are a little younger than Dan and Kika but like you, I am hopeful for the future and trust the younger generations not to repeat (all) the mistakes we made.
The Scout motto that I first learnt as a ten year old and one which I have never forgotten, is "Be prepared". It is sound advice for life in general, not just sailing.
Hell ya! Crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a boat that you refurbished. You turned UMA from a almost scrapped boat, to a beautiful and tough ocean crossing vessel. What an accomplishment!
Amazing how things have changed. 40 years ago making passages down channel we had , a compass , RDF , paper charts and good eyes, and no auto-pilot. We had to watch the lights on boat all the time at night, forever trying to figure which way they were going , were they on a collision course etc. navigation was all DR and a little RDF to confirm rough position. Now you can cross an entire ocean sitting below most of the time! Incredible. Great passage guys, Warren
A fine example of passage making and relationship making. I wish you both many years of happiness together.... PS. Buy the damn water maker. What are you guys thinking? 😀
I love how excited how you two get so excited by the simple things in life. Sunrises, sunsets, salt on the deck, little dings, broken "things" and Dan's finger sandwiches.
For this viewer/Uma fan: "3 happinesses" 1. You celebrating with pan fried tasty biscuits. 2. You will -hopefully- sail past beautiful Needles and Freshwater Bay [hope it's sunny!] 3. You will dock in Cowes, IOW. IOW (Isle of Wight) is my fav island in all the UK border waters. I've great memories and good friends living in the Cowes, East Cowes, Freshwater Bay area! I hope you DID tour the island. I hope we Umaites get to see your experience on IOW !
Trying to catch up on all your videos. This crossing was great! Dan you grew up in Canada so no stranger to cold but Kika from the Caribbean not so much. All I can say is Dan.. you got the best wife anyone could hope for. From hanging in there in the cold to the refit you are currently doing where she does just as much work as you. You guys are one of my favorite sailing channels. Top 2 in fact tied with Beau and brandy another great couple living their dream.
I’ve decided to go back and binge from the beginning. I’d forgotten how amazing it was to watch this first long sail for the two of you. One of the scenes that really stood out for me was the shark you caught on film (or it could have been a killer whale) that was just a quick glimpse but quite amazing to be there at that exact moment to catch it. It looked fairly large too.
I never watch TV and seldom watch movies. If I'm going to watch anything, I want to feel I haven't wasted my time. I would much rather watch something with some HUMAN INTERACTION than some action movie with car chases, explosions, stuff blowing up, burning buildings, tsunamis destroying cities, etc. You get the point. Dan and Kika have managed to make videos that are interesting travelogs and also capture their relationship, but also the relationships they have with others (although we don't see a whole lot of that). Their videos are wholesome and something you would never have to worry about the kids seeing.
This was the first step I ever watched ,came across it one night , 2 people sailing the NA in a sail boat !!!!!!!!!no way !!!!, then I went back and watched you guys from step 1 and fully understand how you did it …a brilliant achievement, well done
You two are such great friends and partners. Real pleasure to watch your videos. Congratulations on crossing the north Atlantic. Looking forward to more of your adventures! Be blessed.
Like Ray Glas............I'm 65 and have sailed a little, been stuck in some bad storms and have "tested our Metal" so I can appreciate your trials and accomplishments!.......straight wakes !
I was on the delivery crew bringing one of the Newport to Cabo race boats back up the coast. It was a pitch black overcast night. The white caps were bioluminescencing. We were beating into the waves and water running down the deck looked like molten metal. It is wild to see.
I am 66 years old and ditto what Ray said 8 months ago. I saw the dolphins, Gilbert the big bird was cool. Thank you for filming this entire thing. It is amazing that everything is so clear, voice, vision, and sound. Magical !
No drama indeed - you made it and you made it look easy. You were always fully in control and Uma didn't let you down one jot. Congratulations once again, and I'm staying tuned for tomorrow's video.
"It's a pretty big accomplishment for us ".. Hell crossing the Alantic in a sailboat is ONE HELL OF AN ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR ANYONE. You 2 have some serious kahonas.
See this is the best part of the world ,so difficult to get too . But you are nearly there a great big well done , brilliant well done you are both heroes you’re great and brave you have both been so good you both know what is good bad and needs attention right away ,you are true professionals you make it look so easy but that’s because you both know each other so very well , god bless you and keep you safe for ever xxx👏👏👏
I think you are incredibly brave. Watching you prepare the boat over the past couple years, putting your faith in electric drive and heading out into the big wide world, you are heroes to someone like me that has a boat three times the size and wouldn't try it.
You guys are the BEST.. saw you in RAM marina while I was eating dinner chatting with Andy from Boat Works Today about sealing your windows while you were on the the hook in Shell Bay in the Rio and sanding your deck. I passed you daily in the dingy volunteering for Pass It On. Sail On!! Cheers S/V Decadence I
I haven't watched this episode. I will later. Just want to let you know, the two of you are amazing. Crossing the Atlantic, on a 37'????? No fear. AND you didn't kill each other. Amazing.
5:40 100% yes! of all the sailing channels I watch, you guys seem to be the most "professional". Obviously it's a team thing. And wow you two make a perfect sailing combo. presuming we saw all the stuff that did go wrong, the boat held up perfect it seemed...keeping the boat in "ship shape" is part of being a great captain / sailor!
I'm in my living room. .going stir crazy. .I need some adventure. .lol. .thank you for providing that,by taking me along. .love your videos, wishing you continued safe travels. .bless you both. .
Those summer sailing conditions are exactly why we sailed away from England. And yes, one of the busiest shipping channels in the world. Cold, wet and windy , it gets old after a few years,Florida and The Bahamas wins out for me!
Very belated congratulations but watching this has been awesome. Parts entertaining, parts escapism, parts endearing to see a couple not only loving each other but accomplishing something together - something that's pretty serious, let's be honest - I'm a total layman but you need to know your stuff and be calm and collected and disciplined for a big stretch of time.
Absolutely amazing achievement. This series shows the importance of good preparation. Well done. One thing I would offer is this:I've never crossed the Atlantic but I have sailed the Channel many times, and if suggest keeping watch on deck at all times once your in that waterway. There's so much diverse traffic and not all of if shows up on radar. Aside from shipping you get wooden fishing yawls, small craft that have no business being out there but are and there's big pieces of hazardous flotsam. It's sketchy!
Fried bread "croque monsieur" looked yummy. English channel is of course one of the busiest shipping channels in the world. Congrats on an uneventful crossing
I have missed you two. I left Hawaii and left my 1973 Pearson 36 there. It was sad. Still is, but it needed to be done. Hopefully I can sell her. I love watching your videos. Like coming back to something and someone familiar, if that makes sense. Happy sailing and congrats on a wonderful voyage!!
I vividly remember my father taking me into the head as a child and pumping the head to show me the "bucket full of diamonds" I cherish that memory! Good job you two, extraordinary passage, Uma is fine passage maker and you are brilliant!
Stuffed Pilsbury crescent rolls in the pan....genius! Our 31' trimaran doesn't have an oven (though we use our BBQ instead) so this is a great idea. Congrats on your crossing! Cheers from Carleen in 🇨🇦
Awesome DYI Hot Pocket! I bet they really hit the spot. A beautiful sunset for your last night in the ocean as well. Great Job Captain Cape Horn with an awesome job at the helm! Thanks & Cheers!
A great voyage across the Atlantic oceanI'm so happy for y'all I don't know how you put out videos everyday crossing but that's great I am so excited for y'all and you two are so blessed
Yeah, we'll still be moving around all winter, choosing the nice days to push onto the next port. Cool boat btw. Maybe we'll see you out there one of these days.
Sailing Uma Cool wrap up warm! Be interesting to know weather our winters are still light enough to keep your batteries topped up, see you out on the sea!
Well done UMA...truly great couple...right up there with RAN and SailLife Hope you will meet both of the them while in Europe...and RAN couple is looking for a new boat! Cheers
Well done you two. I followed your progress across the Atlantic. No mean feat. I cut my teeth in the Solent and the English Channel. Don’t forget, the bouyage is the other way round. One question. How do you keep your boat so tidy and clutter free? Loved the 360 degree episode. That raised the bar for other bloggers.
a little fyi note, that fruit bar you were eating is nearly 100% fruit and natural. Its nearly the only fruit snack leather on the market that is actually a fruit supplement and needs no refrigeration. And its a canadian product. ;). When fresh fruit becomes not available they are a healthy alternative in that environment. Try chopping hem up and boiling them in oatmeal or in a hot fruit tea.
Glad you guys made it. Been following other channels, the Delos, Zatara, RAN on their oceans crossings. This, however, first time seeing someone avoiding the Azores route. Happy for you guys.
hahaha the bioluminescence in the head is my fav! Same deal on Vancouver Island, in case you were wondering ;) ALSO I'm just so stoked for you guys! It's such a massive accomplishment and it has been really fun to be able to follow along and see the whole trip in more detail, so thank you for sharing that.
This passage was great i have sent weeks at sea and understand the boredom, it felt great being at sea again you guys did a great job of preparation i thoroughly enjoyed that crossing good job.
Most of my Sailing has beein in the English Channel at first I was surprised how few ships you guys were seeing on the Eastern US and Caribean - good to see that there really was a difference! Congratuations again on your crossing (again quite belated but making my way through your videos one step at a time :-)!) Congratulations again on all your achievements! Crossing the Atlantic, no drama, making it look easy - one broken latch, one broken switch, if I was supersitious I'd say Uma broke everything that was going to break on the passage to Norfolk just to make sure it was all ready :-)! Bioluminesence is gorgeous!
Congratulations guys on a fabulous sail across the Atlantic. That’s an awesome feat. Welcome to the UK, if you get the chance head north up the west coast of Scotland towards the Orkney and Shetland islands. 👍👍👍🏴
Congratulations to a nice boring (=uneventful, no dramas) crossing! Be careful when you step ashore. The dock can be quite wobbly (the boat will of course feel rock steady). In particular, watch out in the shower. Without an horizon, you can fall over. Also, please don't get stuck on Bramble Bank. As freshly minted transoceanic sailors, it would be a tad embarrassing. :)
Congrats..Jeez now I can breathe again!! I'm a newbie here and binged this past month following your adventures. This one was long and scary for me although I had complete faith in your readiness to cross the Atlantic safely. I both love love love and fear the ocean. Sailing with you two is the next best thing to being there. Continued safe travels and new fun adventures ahead.
Take care in the Solent it's tricky with current that can be quiet strong. Also note some shallow bits like the Brambles bank it actually dries out on low tides. It's also very busy with ships and ferries. Welcome to the UK have a great stay. Oh Cowes is almost shut this time of year.

A fine example of passage making and relationship making. I wish you both many years of happiness together.... PS. Buy the damn water maker. What are you guys thinking? 😀
Sailing the North Atlantic is not for the faint of heart. Great job! Your preparation and remaining calm under pressure is inspirational.
I love how excited how you two get so excited by the simple things in life. Sunrises, sunsets, salt on the deck, little dings, broken "things" and Dan's finger sandwiches.
For this viewer/Uma fan: "3 happinesses" 1. You celebrating with pan fried tasty biscuits. 2. You will -hopefully- sail past beautiful Needles and Freshwater Bay [hope it's sunny!] 3.

You are already so British. "It was a bit windy, a tad rolly, and a smidgen wet." I love you guys.
Trying to catch up on all your videos. This crossing was great! Dan you grew up in Canada so no stranger to cold but Kika from the Caribbean not so much.

you just crossed the NORTH Atlantic! Way Cool.
It makes me wonder if there is any threat of hitting an iceberg?
VERY AWESOME!!
Congratulations! This passage across the Atlantic earned you both anchor tattoos!

Thank you for including us in journeys and your lives!
Cross the North Atlantic is to be proud off!

Hell crossing the Alantic in a sailboat is ONE HELL OF AN ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR ANYONE.
You 2 have some serious kahonas.
You folks really deserve this success and in a 30 foot boat is incredible you worked hard for this!
See this is the best part of the world ,so difficult to get too . But you are nearly there a great big well done , brilliant well done you are both heroes you’re great and brave you have both been so good you both know what is good bad and needs attention right away ,you are true professionals you make it look so easy but that’s because you both know each other so very well , god bless you and keep you safe for ever xxx👏👏👏
Be proud of yourself, that is quite an accomplishment
What an Accomplishment!! Great job you two! You should be proud. Looking forward to European Uma adventures!
Most important thing is that you made it together and you still love each other. Safe travel you two.
Unbelievable, the oceans a scary place and for you to cross the Atlantic in a small boast is a major achievement. Hats off to you guys. Excellent.
I think you are incredibly brave. Watching you prepare the boat over the past couple years, putting your faith in electric drive and heading out into the big wide world, you are heroes to someone like me that has a boat three times the size and wouldn't try it.
Yeah!!! Almost there! What a great accomplishment!! -Rebecca on SV Brick House
Wonderful video series, You have raised the bar in Sailing Videos. Safe travel.
Tomorrow, I start chemotherapy because pancreascancer. Your movies helped me throughout the most terrible time in my life. Thank you both 🙏
Blue water sailing indeed!!
Well done!
Probably one of the greatest challenges of your life. Be very proud of yourselves.
It’s the last night and you are still speaking to each other!!! No visible wounds!
Must have been great!
If you can sit that Close and smile at each other then I would say It was a successful passage. 😋😋
Awesome accomplishment!!! All the planning and preparation for a safe voyage paid off. Well done!
You guys are the BEST.. saw you in RAM marina while I was eating dinner chatting with Andy from Boat Works Today about sealing your windows while you were on the the hook in Shell Bay in the Rio and sanding your deck. I passed you daily in the dingy volunteering for Pass It On. Sail On!! Cheers S/V Decadence I
Love the way you respect nature. Keeping the harnesses on, and always thinking safety. Well done. Be safe.
I haven't watched this episode. I will later. Just want to let you know, the two of you are amazing. Crossing the Atlantic, on a 37'????? No fear. AND you didn't kill each other. Amazing.
Amazing achievement!! Well done really enjoyed watching the passage.
Good passage, 4 years late
5:40 100% yes! of all the sailing channels I watch, you guys seem to be the most "professional". Obviously it's a team thing. And wow you two make a perfect sailing combo.
presuming we saw all the stuff that did go wrong, the boat held up perfect it seemed...keeping the boat in "ship shape" is part of being a great captain / sailor!
You made it look easy... congrats on the passage
REally a great accomplishment
Wow!!! Crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a small boat by the wind. Congratulations on such a wonderful accomplishment. I am happy for you sailors.
I'm in my living room. .going stir crazy. .I need some adventure. .lol. .thank you for providing that,by taking me along. .love your videos, wishing you continued safe travels. .bless you both. .
Same here. It starts with the couch issue. That is doable. The wife issue? Not so much.
Those summer sailing conditions are exactly why we sailed away from England. And yes, one of the busiest shipping channels in the world. Cold, wet and windy , it gets old after a few years,Florida and The Bahamas wins out for me!

It certainly is a testament to you to that 30 plus knots of wind and huge waves is not "drama"! It would be for me! Thanks for all the great videos!
Absolutely amazing achievement. This series shows the importance of good preparation. Well done. One thing I would offer is this:I've never crossed the Atlantic but I have sailed the Channel many times, and if suggest keeping watch on deck at all times once your in that waterway.

That's one of the coolest things I've ever watched. You guys are awesome.
Fried bread "croque monsieur" looked yummy. English channel is of course one of the busiest shipping channels in the world. Congrats on an uneventful crossing
You Two....Are Incredible Spirits! Just Love You Both! Xoxoxo amen 🙏
You guys are the best I love you so much I wait every day to waytch your videos ❤️❤️ keep up sending love from Morocco 🇲🇦
I have missed you two. I left Hawaii and left my 1973 Pearson 36 there. It was sad. Still is, but it needed to be done. Hopefully I can sell her. I love watching your videos. Like coming back to something and someone familiar, if that makes sense. Happy sailing and congrats on a wonderful voyage!!
I'm going to miss your daily vids. Great job guys! PEACE OUT! Ü
I vividly remember my father taking me into the head as a child and pumping the head to show me the "bucket full of diamonds" I cherish that memory! Good job you two, extraordinary passage, Uma is fine passage maker and you are brilliant!
Stuffed Pilsbury crescent rolls in the pan....genius! Our 31' trimaran doesn't have an oven (though we use our BBQ instead) so this is a great idea. Congrats on your crossing! Cheers from Carleen in 🇨🇦
Congrats guys! Awesome passage! Thanks for sharing.
so proud of you guys!
1:00 "...but it's cold and it's wet."
Welcome to the UK. No more evidence needed that you've made it. ^^
haha too bloody right
Awesome DYI Hot Pocket! I bet they really hit the spot. A beautiful sunset for your last night in the ocean as well. Great Job Captain Cape Horn with an awesome job at the helm! Thanks & Cheers!
Great job. We took the southern route without much drama.
A great voyage across the Atlantic oceanI'm so happy for y'all I don't know how you put out videos everyday crossing but that's great I am so excited for y'all and you two are so blessed
Wow, just WOW!
Thank you Dan for those finger sandwiches. I have 6 granddaughters all ages 8 and under who will love them.
Welcome to sailing in England, you guys did this in summer too! we sail through winter here on our sailing channel!
Yeah, we'll still be moving around all winter, choosing the nice days to push onto the next port. Cool boat btw. Maybe we'll see you out there one of these days.
Sailing Uma Cool wrap up warm! Be interesting to know weather our winters are still light enough to keep your batteries topped up, see you out on the sea!
Congrats guys, you rock! Have to agree with you, preparation is key! enjoy the other side of Atlantic! Fair Winds
What a tremendous accomplishment! I hope you take some time to pat yourselves on the back, you deserve it 👏🏼👍🏼
Just found this series. I'm well impressed. Congrats. Say hi to my homeland.. good old Blighty.
10 minutes in, Oh Man!, making me hungry Dan. What a glorious day, huh!
What an achievement guys, well done. It's been so cool following your passage day by day. :)
You are the bravest sailors and make the sweetest couple. And after going through so much ( you say whatever 😊) you are so fresh, it's astonishing.
I forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS, AWESOME Atlantic crossing.
Well done UMA...truly great couple...right up there with RAN and SailLife
Hope you will meet both of the them while in Europe...and RAN couple is looking for a new boat!
Cheers
The rolls reminded me of the dumplings we had in China. Stuffed with everything. Even soup.
Well done you two. I followed your progress across the Atlantic. No mean feat. I cut my teeth in the Solent and the English Channel. Don’t forget, the bouyage is the other way round.
One question. How do you keep your boat so tidy and clutter free?
Loved the 360 degree episode. That raised the bar for other bloggers.
a little fyi note, that fruit bar you were eating is nearly 100% fruit and natural. Its nearly the only fruit snack leather on the market that is actually a fruit supplement and needs no refrigeration. And its a canadian product. ;). When fresh fruit becomes not available they are a healthy alternative in that environment. Try chopping hem up and boiling them in oatmeal or in a hot fruit tea.
We had a HUGE bag of those for the crossing. Super yum!
Glad you guys made it. Been following other channels, the Delos, Zatara, RAN on their oceans crossings. This, however, first time seeing someone avoiding the Azores route. Happy for you guys.
hahaha the bioluminescence in the head is my fav! Same deal on Vancouver Island, in case you were wondering ;) ALSO I'm just so stoked for you guys! It's such a massive accomplishment and it has been really fun to be able to follow along and see the whole trip in more detail, so thank you for sharing that.
Again well done from a long time long distance sailor. Now you are seamen.
thank you guys for the inspiration!you realized my dream! yes it is an accomplishement
Well done!
This passage was great i have sent weeks at sea and understand the boredom, it felt great being at sea again you guys did a great job of preparation i thoroughly enjoyed that crossing good job.
Most of my Sailing has beein in the English Channel at first I was surprised how few ships you guys were seeing on the Eastern US and Caribean - good to see that there really was a difference! Congratuations again on your crossing (again quite belated but making my way through your videos one step at a time :-)!) Congratulations again on all your achievements! Crossing the Atlantic, no drama, making it look easy - one broken latch, one broken switch, if I was supersitious I'd say Uma broke everything that was going to break on the passage to Norfolk just to make sure it was all ready :-)! Bioluminesence is gorgeous!
Congratulations guys on a fabulous sail across the Atlantic. That’s an awesome feat.
Welcome to the UK, if you get the chance head north up the west coast of Scotland towards the Orkney and Shetland islands. 👍👍👍🏴
Calphalon cookware - class!
Congratulations guys 💚 inspiring. You made it seem so easy but it's a big challenge. Thank you for sharing.
You two are sweet! Congratulations!
Thanks for posting and sharing.
Congratulations to a nice boring (=uneventful, no dramas) crossing! Be careful when you step ashore. The dock can be quite wobbly (the boat will of course feel rock steady). In particular, watch out in the shower. Without an horizon, you can fall over. Also, please don't get stuck on Bramble Bank. As freshly minted transoceanic sailors, it would be a tad embarrassing. :)
Binge watching your vids. I'm addicted! The 'UMA' hot pockets looked delish.
Congratulations on this milestone guys! You’re awesome!
I wish I could be there to welcome you guys! You make us dream like crazy!
Congrats..Jeez now I can breathe again!! I'm a newbie here and binged this past month following your adventures. This one was long and scary for me although I had complete faith in your readiness to cross the Atlantic safely. I both love love love and fear the ocean. Sailing with you two is the next best thing to being there. Continued safe travels and new fun adventures ahead.
Take care in the Solent it's tricky with current that can be quiet strong. Also note some shallow bits like the Brambles bank it actually dries out on low tides.
It's also very busy with ships and ferries.
Welcome to the UK have a great stay. Oh Cowes is almost shut this time of year.
What a personal growth you guys made..you will see many life treasures..because you are not in auto pilot mode..enjoy the land..😍🌷😊
