“We got really lucky with the weather”. No, we got lucky you stopped there and shared it with us. 👍👍👍
Kudos to you two for going so far off the beaten path. Most other sailing channels go where it's warm and bikinis abound, but you're showing us more of the world. Thank you!
& the music, this soothes me before a stressful day of work
What I find amazing is the fact that you don't have multiple millions of followers (subscribers).
I know I've said it before, but this is *still* the only youtube channel I've watched every single episode.
You two are absolutely blessed, and the quality of your life is only matched by the quality of your publications for us to watch & envy.
Thank you for just being *you.*
Same for me.
I've watched our two young friends here from day one, when they decided not to buy that now World Famous couch !
Awsome journey.
They took us all fans to so many and so different places, they are National Greographic grade explorers.
Imagine, spending most of the last winter, on a tiny boat, absolutely NOT an ice breaker, in the northern part of the Artic circle ! 😳
That's called having cohones ! ❤️
@@marcryvon I second this
I’m a pretty new subscriber and still working my way through older videos. I’m beyond impressed with both Kika and Dan, and their content is unparalleled!
@@marcryvon haha Next shirt..."Don't buy a Couch ...grow some cohones!"
@@myusername630 And I trice this (is it a word?). I watched from the humble beginning and I have not missed one step yet! Amazing.....
Wow guys. Over Here in the Netherlands we normally know about this island. You guys are one of the first making these amazing high quality drone shots! thanks!
I have always enjoy your episodes, but am now amazed at the quality of your presentation. Great filming and wonderful drone work shown by quality editing. Thanks. An absolute pleasure to watch.
I'm watching from Kalam valley.
Did you see that scene where Kika editied it to look like they were on rough seas? That was so great. No manipulation from these guys, just the best 2 crew sailing, exploring and photography channel on earth.
The geology nerd in me wants another 2 hours of drone shots. That place looks amazing.
I understand. As a Floridian all I see is limestone, and am at sea level. Recently went out west, Utah, Az, Death Valley Ca, I was mesmerized by the landscape of rock formations.
@@magaisacult2023 I'm also a Floridian, but in the late 90s early 2000s I lived in southern Oklahoma. On the drive north on I-35 you pass through the Arbuckle mountains. You see some amazing folds in the rock where the Interstate cuts through. It is fascinating.
😂😂😂. When Kika fell!!! My daughter can never get enough of watching Kika. She's asked that you don't fall again please.
Didn’t know it was possible to be envious of someone but so happy for them at the same time - I know your lifestyle choice comes with immense challenges and sacrifices but it looks so rewarding and fulfilling at the same time - these films have a lovely cosiness about them - and they’re visually spectacular simultaneously - a remarkable channel - thank you for sharing with everyone :)
@Mark Smart What do you mean by cosines? Maybe it is a typo.
@@pauleohl they make you feel cosy, at least they do me :)
@@pauleohl Cozyness! NOT cosines.
@@bdphourde I see that Mark Smart attempted to correct his spelling, but still got it wrong. :-(
@@pauleohl I couldn't find it in the dictionary but they do change the 'y' to 'i' if it is next to another vowel for other endings. But I guessed it wasn't necessary if the 'y' was next to a consonant.
Simple and majestic at the same time. Svalbard is calling me ... and now it's Jan Mayen too. You two are having the adventure of your lives up there.
Enjoyed your hike around Jan Mayen. I was surprised that none of the locals joined you for the day. I would think they would be excited to see "foreigners" and show them around their island.
Agree, didn't seem too thrilled to see you - at least they weren't unfriendly - just a bit disinterested (still, slightly surprising). Probably engrossed in their research to be much interested. Beautiful, but bleak. Fascinating place, thanks for showing it to us.
Jan Mayen is a Norwegian military outpost and the people are not there to entertain visitors. You are lucky to be able to go ashore.
Nerd alert: I read a fanfiction story a few years ago that had Jan Mayan as a setting (Jormungandr and Loki were main characters) and while reading it, I googled and imagined what it would look like in an effort see what the author was trying to describe. There are some really good photos out there but to see it at ground level, walking with you and seeing the native vegetation makes me fill in the imaginary blanks I had when reading that story. That's so cool! A beloved story has been enriched and a favorite YT channel has given us another amazing adventure. Thank you!
Y’all must be tired. You repeated yourselves 3-4 x about enjoying the sunshine instead of sleeping. Love it.
The weather gods are traveling with you. Your videos are always so emotional for some reason. Astounding.
How are you getting such great audio? The conversation sounds great and out of the wind at around 17:20, but then I can hear the footsteps on the drone shot?? Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for an excellent video! The music, and audio of the birds, and the photography and editing just after that to the end of the video is amazing, and feels like you have any entire production team with you. Using the drone to follow you, and then putting the camera on the ground with Uma in the background is really breathtaking. Amazing work!!
in the mid 70s my scottish uncle staffed a weather station like this 3 guys alone. and every couple of months a russian fishing vessel would turn up and bring vodka and they would party. middle of the cold war very illegal but lonely men bonding over strong drink and the joy of a little company in a barren place.
Absolutely amazing you guys sailed to Jan Mayen on such a beautiful day. What a spectacular place.
Seagulls can definitely aim their poop. I once parked our Honda minivan in a whole line of parked cars near the Morro Bay rock on the California coast. We had a black cargo container on top that I think the seagulls must have thought looked like an elephant seal where it shouldn't be. After less than an hour It looked like about five gallons of white thickened epoxy was dumped on it. None of the other cars had anything. Cost us $14 in the 'quarter' car wash just to wash enough of it off to be able to use the car. And theh there was a two year period where the seagulls near Long Beach, California would change direction to fly towards me to try and poop on me in my sea kayak. I learned to point my paddle at them like a spear, they'd veer off and almost always let one loose. About four years ago they stopped. I think someone in a kayak must have done something mean to a seagull.
I've been a victim of seagull poop attacks on lake Saimaa back when my family had a boat there, they do that especially when they're protecting their nests. I must say it's a good defence mechanism, not once did I spend a second longer than I had to in their close proximity lol
Wow
Who would have ever thought it would be possible to buy a piece of junk boat, fix it up and make a living making short videos of you sailing it around the world. This wouldn’t have been possible just a few short years ago even! What a world we live in today!! More power to you! 👊😁
Mind boggling !
How beautiful our planet is
Drone footage of the island ... breathtaking ... so much so that I just began to to cry while watching ... the sheer beauty of it
Thanks for sharing
I don't mind if you show this breath taking view island longer. Thank you for bringing us closer to the place we might not have visited in our entire life.
The dropping the anchor shot! So cool!
I love the aerial view and your chemistry together. Be safe and stay healthy, you guys.
It is so true that you even got the opportunity to be there, this was exceptional and I can't imagine any other way I would get to see it...well done and thank you
What a gorgeous episode. I felt like I was some where new and very special. Drone footage was stunning.
Im super excited! You guys have given me qnd my partner the courage to go and buy a boat (1980 boro 36' steel ketch!)
And get it ready to travel around the world. We are based in Perth, Western Australia
What a beautiful day! A really lovely video exploring such an isolated and spectacular place, beautifully put together as ever! The landscape really does remind me of some of the places I went to exploring Iceland. Thank you for putting off sleeping to film it, it must have been a relief to finally get to bed! A bit of a shame you couldn't stay longer or get to meet the scientists or explore further but still how amazing to have such perfect weather for the one day you did get to be there, almost as if the weather gods really wanted you to stop there too :-) !
You are the National Geographic of this generation. Your talent cannot be overstated. Amazing cinematography. Exceptional insight in to the part of our world that the rest of the us view as “asleep” for the winter. Thank you for bringing the seagulls to our living rooms!
One day, when you will decide to sell uma, a guy will come and make the normal question "talk to me about this boat" and then you will just say "ok, step 1"!!! Keep making steps!!!
You are absolutely precious, both in your obvious love for one another, but also in our love for this beautiful world, this fragile GAIA hat we are so privileged to exist on. You have taken us on journeys across nearly half the globe, have shown us what we are here for ... and still longing for.
I ache with envy AND joy whenever I am privileged to watch a new travel adventure you are undertaking.
Stay safe and God bless!
Jan Mayen = 1/2 Europe + 1/2 Americas and a prime example of the mid-Atlantic ridge that divides the continent/tectonic plates.
And again, you have shown us landlocked Norwegians a part of our country we will never even have the opportunity to see. Thx Umas.
PS I'm glad you (sort of) complied with local regulations (I think similar as on Svalbard), ie max drone flying height = 100 m (as a nature reserve/animal protection zone/etc).
I love the whistling at the end of each video!
I adore your adventures. Your story telling is so alluring, peaceful and beautiful. It seems to always put me in a state of zen. Thanks for taking us along.
Lucky weather for a visit. Thanks for showing a place I will never get a chance to visit.
Your journey #288 was epic. I don't think we have enjoyed anyone as much as the 2 of u. You keep our interest every minute. The glacier shots were incredible. Thank you allowing us to join. U on your adventures.
Hey guys. My wife and I enjoy watching you go places we never will. Even so far north, wow. Anyway, coukd you demonstrate "reefing the main" for us non-mariner types? In a future video where you may need to do so. Keep up the great work!
Wow, what a relief to be able to watch this episode after spending most of the morning watching coverage of the Seditious Conspiracy charges just announced here in the US. It's really a breath of fresh air! Winter in Jan Mayen would be like spending summer in Antartica, how do they survive? The aerial footage of the island is absolutely stunning - as per usual with you guys. This is a very funny episode, you guys are both so tired that you're almost delirious. It's not just Kika logic, it's Kika-sleep-deprived-logic!
That stuff is rewarding in it's own way, but yeah, not very relaxing
It’s a heck of a coincidence that highly talented videographer, with top line equipment, happened to choose to sail that way, instead of Norway, etc. and then have perfect weather conditions where, and I’m not sure if you were joking, you can only see the beauty of this remote island a few days a year. And then you can share it with hundreds of thousands people who never knew of such place. It’s like you were guided there.
Had me in tears...the perfect photography and matching music set the tone...and a couple with lion hearts and obvious love for one another and for the adventure is unique! Keep us enthralled please!!
K&D, Fulmars are some of the most skilfull flyers I have ever seen, how their wingtips follow the contours of the capillary waves. Your skills really rose to the occasion, your close drone footage, while exhausted. Thank you for taking us to Jan Mayen to see the rugged landscape on a rare clear day.
Health and peace.
The brand new vegetation getting established on brand new volcanic land.
What a place! Love it and love you both for your work. 💕😁
Back when I was taking sailing lessons in Newport Beach, CA I thought owning a boat and traveling the world would be so great. Then I bought a small boat and learned that the old platitude about owning a boat was true, that the two best days of boat ownership are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. Looking at some of these videos of yours, and especially others with older couples my age (69) sailing 45-55' catamarans and trimarans make me want to go out and try that dream again.
I think you’ve officially sold me on the idea of sailing northern oceans and visiting the unique and remote locations that are up there. Then carry on to Norway etc. Thanks again
"He let us borrow a stick"
I wanted to thank you so much for showing me a part of earth that I will probably never, ever get to myself.
Dan and Kika ...you guys have real star quality. I can easily imagine you getting rich like Chip and Joanna Gaines on TLC or whatever channel they're on. Seriously! The downside to money and fame might be the effect on your lifestyle, but maybe worth a shot. Love your videos and find them super informative, creative and enjoyable.
Your vlogs always leave me in a better frame of mind. It’s a luxury.
Well done. Great to see more of Jan Mayen. Although I live in Iceland I don't know much about Jan Mayen, have never been there, and hardly haven't seen any pictures. Tanke, you very much for sharing this with us. Looking forward to see the next step.
Beside the signs and some of the houses, this could've been shot here in Iceland, specially the highlands :)
For a Finnish person like me this is interesting to see as wel, iceland and the hoods aren't as familiar as other nordic countries for me. Sweden hogging all the attention smh :D
Edit: wow, just wow 👌
I love Iceland 🇮🇸! Was there in October 2017, had a Rental Car & Drove to see so many beautiful sites!
Seeing the Tectonic Plates Continental Divide & seeing people SCUBA Diving there was incredible! I was too cold to consider SCUBA in October though. After COVID has died down, I will return to Iceland 🇮🇸 & will get a Rental Car to explore the Fjords in the Summer. Of course I have to stop for some Relaxation @ The Blue Lagoon, which I love so much. I have been using their Spa Products for years!
Stay Healthy in Iceland 🇮🇸
I continue to be impressed by your adventurous spirits and your independent nature to explore the less travelled directions. The filming makes it a pleasure to tag along for the journey
I know that feeling that comes from incredible adventure! We were on a Geological Survey in the untouched Canadian Arctic Region of Kikerk Lake Northwest Territories.
Beside our temporary camp in the arctic tundra was a 500 meter long Glacier made of the purest water. This immaculately pure aqua blue ice fissure was beautiful beyond words. I had to explore it.
After I climbed out of it's ice cave I followed a stream cut through the ice sheet's roof and of course I laid down and drink from it just for the experience!
As I walked a few steps upstream I noticed a caribou had gone poo in the water.
But hey, I reckon its still safer than water in any city I have ever been.
At least no beaver fever that high up
Blue H2O with minerals, vitamins and caribou probiotics....yum!
A miracle! Had you sacrificed even more sleep you could have shot enough video for an hour long documentary and financed the rest of your trip off those proceeds! You should have asked those "indigenous" caretakers how often the weather was clear and calm like that! Perhaps no one has ever seen Jan Mayen in its entirely with so much beauty before. Good job! As usual! We saw some steam venting through the gravel. Are there any hot springs on the island? Is that pool heated by one? You also seemed to have some pretty good weather on Svalbaard! It looks like Uma's big arctic adventure is going to be gold plated! Can't wait to see your videos from your circumnavigation of Greenland! ;)
At the end when you were perched atop some rocks overlooking the little 'baylet', we could hear the kiss! What camera has that kind of sensitivity at that distance?
Your passage videos are our favorite. My wife wanted another sailboat and your Atlantic crossing got me pumped to sail again. Now we have a boat! If you are ever in Cowichan Bay we will take you for a sail.
Subtle message in the music choice @ 8:33: Tyler Brown Williams - Do It All Again. Lyrics: "I would do it all again with you"
Beautiful.
Again - wow to your droneshots, story telling and sailing inspiration. Just in the middle of a bottom paint job. Your pictures, slow rhythm make me feel good and lock forward to the summer season. Many THX 😎⛵️
I have looked at Jan Mayern on a map since way back in school days and been intrigued by its bleak remoteness. To actually see it on a calm sunny day. That was such a privilege. Curiosity satisfied.Thank you both very much indeed !
Merci! ...belle vidéo hors du commun...je ne pensais pas pouvoir, voyager un jour de cette manière et dans des endroits aussi insolites , par personne interposée tout en restant dans mon canapé...magnifique aventure continuez à nous faire rêver🌐🗻👍
You guys are constantly radiating serendipidity.
Great clip UMA..great drone!
Its Like you stepped into another universe...dystopian or post apocalyptic!
Straight out of The Lord of the Rings or The Game of Thrones...Lol..!
Well done...
God is surely overlooking your travels for the benefit of the rest of us, stuck in complete idiotic lockdowns.
Go safely
Cheers
What a treat to see this island! (from my couch)
Another beautiful adventure. I love the playful innocence of Dan playing with the sand on the beach. I think it looks like volcanic sand, it eventually erodes to become less coarse "black sand". There are several black sand beaches here in Hawai'i that remind me of that beach.
What a marvellous place..!! So lucky with the weather and permission to go ashore - all the planets were aligned, eh..??!!
I always have to wait until I'm home to watch your videos, so I can cast onto the big TV, as you always present documentary quality in your epic episodes.
Thanks for taking us along with you.
Thanks again for another”quality” video and a virtual excursion on Jan Mayen. The quality of your work continues to impress but there is an intangible quality that is what is most attractive. I wNt to attribute it to your zest for adventure and what I interpret as awe and gratitude for what the planet has to offer. I stated out watching quite a few video logs of sailing adventures. I have pared it down to you and Erik from NBJS. THANKS again.
I have one thing to say you both have
Become very magical people.I don’t ever
Miss a episode and they just keep getting
Better.Please for us that watch don’t ever stop
These journeys.
We love the dedication you put into this content.
Please be safe.
Thanks for taking us with you, guys. It's not anywhere I'm ever, ever going to be so it's neat to see. Stark and beautiful! I think you should print up a companion T-shirt for Don't Buy a Couch... Don't Buy a Bed, You Can Sleep When You're Dead.
A friendly bunch on Jan Mayen by the looks of it, but that weather was rare indeed, great timing!
Wow. Amazing that you had the wind and weather to stop there. Good for you!
This is absolutely incredible footage! What a spectacular opportunity for you two to be there on a sunny day on your own little Uma. I'm jealous, in awe of you two, and I feel lucky to get to share the experience through your videos. Thank you!
Hi Dan & Kika ! Thanks for your amazing videos, it always brings sunshine to receive a notification every time you uplaod a video !
The places you go are wonderful and the way you film and narrate them is amazing.
I was surprised to see the Fontainbleau wooden sign as it is located in France (70km - 43 miles south of Paris)...small world !
Anyway, keep enjoying your journey and keep us part of it, as wherever you go, we kind of go with you :)
Amazing! One in a Lifetime achievement! Jan Mayen! Bravo!
Wow. Dan & Kika you guys just keep taking it to the next level, the sailing senses are so well captured, it really felt that I was no the boat with you both. The cinema photography was amazing , actually felt I was missing out not yachting this at the cinema.
.....thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!
For allowing me to see your world....the places, the people, the world in a new perspective.
3:07-3:40 is a stunning sequence.
I had to wait until I could watch this on my computer instead of my phone, because I love your videography. I was impressed, as always. Thank you for taking us places that are so remote....I don't want to say that I'll never go - but it's unlikely. Yet, with your beautiful videos, I am adding items to my bucket list. Thank you!
What a privilege to be among the Uma-ites viewing this beauty! A rare and strange jewel of an island. And a Host Couple equally rare and dare I say of "strange jewel caliber?" In a good way of course.
I have followed you two since the beginning with early work on Uma and Dan’s learning to sail. These two episodes, particularly the drone video is the most strikingly spectacular footage you have posted. The first drone shot of Uma ghosting along under spinnaker with the snow-capped volcano viewed against the painted northern sky is a unique and incomparably rare sequence. I have cruised and travelled to remote places and am envious of this slice of your journey. -Mike Jacker
Gobsmacked. You could knit all these vids together into a feature film, easily. Each one is better than the last!
I for the longest time had no idea what the horn sound meant in your introduction for a while.
Now studying for my captains license, I learned that it’s a sound signal for a NUC, RAM, sail, fishing, trawling, towing, or pushing vessel in restricted visibility. Very cool to know what it means now!!
I've been a fan of you guys for awhile now, and love how your cinematography has gotten so good. Your living life to the fullest and look forward to your updates all the time. Love you guys. From Canada 🇨🇦, keep up the great life. Be safe.
I'd like to recommend a book to the two of you by Charles Hapgood. " Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings." Hapgood postulates that there existed an even more ancient mariner civilization that mapped out the world than our current understanding of what our modern history lays out. The Zeno Map of 1380 and The Ptolemaic Map of the North along with The Map of Andrea Benincasa were all sourced on older maps that run in complete contradiction to when many discoveries were made. These three maps focus mainly on the area that you are currently sailing in now. Wow, whadda adventure you're on.
Thank you for taking me to a place I otherwise would never have known existed. What a gorgeous place!
I want to thank you both for allowing me to visualize what it would be like to travel to distant parts of the earth. Please continue to do so as it gives me and my family peace of mind and tranquility
I have the utmost admiration for you both. I particularly like the shots of early vegetation; the mosses, lichen and some tiny plants clinging on to an existence. Thankyou for an educational brief on Jan Mayen.😁
Very nice videos you guys make! My experience with birds following your boat, something I have seen many times, is for one reason only: Food! Or the hope that you will throw something overboard and it is amazing to see the entire flock dive when you do! And yes, I mean food not garbage!
Thanks for being brave and going to the wild places.
Y’all’s adventures are so fun to follow
One of the best voice overs by Kika. Just a great video. Wonderful.
According to Wikipedia that place gets around six days of sun a year... given that it was already sunny, while you were approaching, the sun spent about third of the time designated to that place, just to shine on you two continuously! One might as well say, the sun _demanded_ you to do some hiking there and you totally earned it!
You appeared to struggle with your description of driving the pike into the sand to keep Coco from floating away but as far as I'm concerned, you nailed it.
I only know of Jan Mayen from Erik Aanderaa's videos. I'm certain that you guys must be aware of his travels/works. I love this part of the world.
You’re right, you’ve opened my eyes to places I’ve never imagined. Oh, and you’ve done a masterful job in producing your videos. Thanks!
I was describing your work to my physical therapist yesterday. I said your quality of work is like what’s found in National Geographic Magazine. Art. Beautiful. You take us there. Thanks 😊
The weather Gods gave y'all, and us, an awesome gift :-)
I enjoyed watching you visit Jan Mayen.....enjoyed much more from south Florida than I would have had I been there.
Bleak place. Volcanic beach I think. Crunchiness walking. I really enjoy all these remote places. Thanks for showing them.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your lives with us
Amazing precision in sailing techniques, artistry in production techniques, lighting, and a good story as well.
Jan Mayen is well known in scandinavia. It has been an important weather station there and has been from far back.
I LOVE that you take us where not many go. Thank you for broadening our travels and experiences. Love to you both!🥰
How lucky you guys are, six known days of sunny weather Jan Mayan has got and there you are on one of those, it is as if it was ment to honour you with a nice weather welcome.
Your filming is amazing, so beautifully done, and the way you put it together is a marvel. It is a bit of a surprise that the hosts of Jan Mayan shied away, seems like they were too busy to share their time. Can not wait for your next adventure, stay safe and healthy.
Maybe the good weather is not so much luck as it is a side effect of the need to carefully select the weather windows they want to use.
The seagulls escorting you in seemed magical, and what a magical destination! I had to watch the episode twice! Absolutely brilliant work! Thx. absolutely beautiful landscape
Wow! I'm so glad you got to show us Jan Mayen. Such a starkly beautiful place. Your northern track has taken us all to places we surely would never have seen. Thanks.
Hi there! I’m new to the channel, actually discovered you guys couple weeks ago when I tested positive for Covid and forced to stay home. I just felt in love! You are so inspiring, I’m in my late 40s a little to late for that kind of adventure, but, I got inspired by you to leave my comfort zone and try different things. I wish you all the best and be safe on your adventures.
late 40's, lol. Bro, look around, there's folks in their 70's on similar adventures. And every single one will say go now, don't wait for "retirement". 40 isn't too old at all. Dan and Kika are babies of the cruising world.
One rock or tiny little island if you want to call it that. Is “rockall”. That’s between Iceland and northwest of Scotland. Not many people have seen this rock. I have. It’s a pinnacle that jettisons straight out of the sea. You can’t really go ashore there but it nice to see. That’s if it’s anywhere on you’re journeys. Love the videos 👍👍👍
