I'm 56 year old new subscriber from UK and new to TH-cam. I just binged watch all your past episode. I'm disabled and isolated from my family so I live in my bedroom but watching you guys made me laugh, smile, anxious and happy and I enjoyed all these feeling with you guys so thank you for letting me come along and for helping me to leave my one room and travel the world with you guy, I feel like a shipmate. Looking forward to your next episode. 😊👍
Hey Bernadette, I'm a German and 55 y.o. Welcome to my absolute favorite sailing channel on TH-cam. These two humans are awesome. I'm pretty sure, you will love them too. So ... welcome to the Dan & Kika show. 👍👍😏
don't think i've ever told you two this before. i started watching a year ago, or thereabouts. with all the strife and unrest throughout the country, and the world, one tends to get a bit dark and lose hope. then i see young, self empowered people like you, out in the world, living a life that is positive and full of hope, and promise. and sometimes, watching you, and on occasion, re-watching you, a ray of hope sneaks back into my own sense of the future. thank you.
My jealousy has been kicked into high gear now that you’re sailing through the Norwegian fjords. What a life! Having watched from the beginning, I know you have truly, truly earned it.
Hi you guys! My husband and I live in Bergen, a couple of days sailing further north from Stavanger. You'll be welcome to our place if you'd like! We are newbies to sailing and share the same life vision as you guys! Let me know if you'd like :)
Well..... I finally finished, took me about 8 days. My wife and I lived apart traveling international for our careers. Of course we saw each other every 8 weeks or less, meeting somewhere on the plant. I retired 10 months ago and moved to KSA to hang out while she worked. Now I ended up in lockdown since March. I started to work on our next adventure. So, I started a trek of Van living and stumbled upon you motor conversion (upgrade). The binge started........ Great job, keep sailing into your dreams. Will be watching you all for a long time.
I love to see in both your eyes how deep you enjoy sailing. Even after all this thousands of miles, you did in the last few years. It's the face of a child in front of the christmastree, when Dan is talking about sailing Spinnaker at night. It's fantastic. 😃
I've been watching many boat channels but my fave has been SVDelos for a long time now, but they are all about the people. You two are all about the life and the struggles and the projects, real life on the boat, you give a true story of what daily life is like and the problems you face and how you overcome them. (Although I'd love to see more about costs) Your interaction with each other is genuine and pleasing and I've already learned loads about living aboard that I didn't know before. You may not know it but you are affecting peoples' lives and helping and inspiring them to live their own adventure. Your channel is now my favoured one and I hope you keep up the excellent videos.
Finally!! I caught up. I found one of your vids from watching van and schoolie renovations and yours was suggested. When I watched you guys do what I call "learn to fly on the way" I knew I had to watch the whole journey. Watched from step one and finally caught up with you guys. Resisted temptations to skip ahead and have seen every step of the way. Your "oh well, we'll figure it out" attitude reminds me of my wife and I so much. From our wives (your soon to be) being everyone's friend, to our MacGyver spirit. I've watched you guys progress in everyway possible from possessions to emotional and relationship growth. Thanks guys. Keep doing what you're doing, always take time for yourselves no matter what we (your audience) expect from you, and keep going while "learning to fly on the way"♥️ (from near your alma mater, Columbus, Ga.)
Me too. Just caught up. Started less than a year ago at step 1! Dan and Kika are so very smart. They've become outstanding seamen. Keep on not being in a hurry to get anywhere. 😀
I love seeing and hearing the many ways God is blessing you kids. Y'all are proof that God does send us HIS blessings through good hearted and kind people. People that give small gifts from their heart and except nothing in return. This world need more people like them. I could see that you kids got a warm cozy feeling when you were telling us how those people blessed you with bread and jam. Now just imagine how muck joy and happiness those people felt on the inside by blessing you kids. Then you kids turned around and blessed all of us by sharing your story of how those people blessed you. Now you kids have passed on that warm cozy feeling on to us just by sharing your story..... Much love and prayers... BBE..
I Love the way you have rebuilt your yatch, it's really very intriguing how you've redesigned the Kitchen area and the shower, and especially the electric motor, beautiful work, keep it up, it's amazing.
I just watched your "Boat Tour" video and I finally peeled myself off the ceiling long enough to say THANKS!!!!! I'm in the market for a 40' , my first sail power but my greatest hangup has been the prospect of living in that, cookie cutter brown and blue space wasting interior. I've built a few homes but had no idea how one would go about remodeling a boat until now. I too am a big fan of electric propulsion with some 30 car conversions before I met Stan Meyer and switched my thinking to home made hydrogen. Sorry I can't do the social media support but I will be buying your shirt, following your TH-cam and when I resolve the Marine propulsion problem like I did the Corolla conversion problem I'll share. (dual bank source w/ alternating charging from the powered source) You seem smart enough to roll with that. BEAUTIFUL boat!!! I hope to run into you 2 sometime. May you always enjoy calm seas and steady winds...
When I was your age I almost lived the life that you are. I would gladly trade 30 years of my life if I had been more brave back then. I just admire the two of you. Be blessed and be safe.
Love you guys and my wife is also hook on this show. We pay for prime time cable and we watch you guy more then the other channels we pay for. Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks kika and dan
How do you know we don't want to watch you eat for the next 15 minutes? Seriously, after watching your relentlessly positive attitudes for several dozen episodes/steps, I clicked subscribe a few weeks ago and I still can't wait to watch the next installment every week. Keep it up, and thank you!
You guys are awesome! Look forward to getting the weekly notification of a new video. I'm a retired 60 something and never been able to fulfill my sailing dream. Thanks to you I get the next best thing, Keep it up!
Well said Kenneth, I'm in a similar situation. Although it isn't the same as actually being able to fulfil my dream it is fantastic to follow along with their's!
Beautiful footage. Summer sailing in the Nord has got to be arguably the best in the world for the longest daylight! Additionally, I'm continually impressed with Pearson's helm-forward design on this model, especially for crew working the winches behind the helm and or for solo sailing. It also opens up the aft cockpit for guests to chill out of the way. Great naval architecture right there. Plus, you get the protection of the dodger.
Absolutely beautiful, peaceful, wholesome, uplifting and calm, with a gentle dose of adventure mixed with coziness. Just what I needed this evening, perfect medicine for these times. Thank you!
I have a friend from Norway (I met him in college back in 1987)....and his last name was Fossum...I’d love to travel to Norway.....the scenery looks awesome......
G’day, I reckon your videos are absolutely spot on mate. The editing and cinematography are bloody brilliant ~ beautiful. Good on ya both. Safe passage and blessings. Cheers from Western OZ!!! Oi...Oi...Oi...
The time flew by on this video - props for the great content and editing to make me feel that way. Thanks for sharing this beautiful adventure. Cheers!
Always a pleasure watching you guys oh, it makes me feel like I'm there with you....PS, Kika, I think you should know that you are beautiful inside and out and hope you never change❤.....
Nice finally seeing you coming to Norway! Catch myself thinking all the time "ahrg, it's raining again. They're gonna hate it!" Wellcome to Trondheim soon, I hope! A nice place, but it rains a lot here as well.
Welcome to my favorite country on Earth - and coming from a Dane, THAT is a big compliment. I hope you had a chance to interact with some Norwegians because they truly are a breed of their own. Much nicer than us Danes. :-)
Today is a horrible day. It is the day that I’ve finally caught up to your adventures, and must now wait for new releases. Fantastic videos. Worthy of a television series. This episode was so relaxing, and wonderful. I, oddly, really enjoyed watching you cook and eat bread. Lol.
Thank you, Dan and Kika for reminding me of cruising the Skagerrak 30yrs ago. Enjoy the wonderful Norwegian vistas with the colourful houses along the shore. I hope, Kika, that your friends and family were safe from hurricane Laura. So sad for those of your compatriots that were unfortunate ...
What a wonderful sail you guys had. The shot of the bowsprit heading into the sunset 👍 That's an exposed piece of coast, not very comfortable in a SW'erly. Unfortunately the rain is kinda typical too. Been living in that corner of the world for many years so I am super interested to see where you went next.
One morning a captain stands on deck and hears a sailor in the crows nest yell “ one pirate ship on the horizon!” The captain calls for battle and sends a cabin boy to bring him a red silk shirt which he donned. The battle lasts all day and the captain wins the day. The first mate give a report then asked why the red shirt? The captain explains the if he is injured during the battle he does not want the crew to worry and fight on. One morning a week later the sailor in the crows nest screams “Ten pirate ships on the horizon!!!” The captain yelled prepare for battle and bring me my brown pants!!! Hope it gets your giggle :)
Hi Thank for your channel, I look forward to your videos each week. Some thing I do on my sail boat that mite help one day. I fly my cursing Chute going down wind and my 140% jib poled out the other side, works well.
Love your channel, such a great mental escape from landlocked Minnesota. Cute couple. Love the sailing time, time on the ocean, storms are exciting - at least for me in my easy chair.
That was so wholesome and made me smile through the whole episode :D love when you guys "make it" when everything goes well and you can enjoy the sailing :D
Love your videos. Have I missed your tour of standing rigging and running rigging? I’m interested to know how your top lift is run, what size and kind of line you use. Also your lazy jacks
Every new place can be you favorite place, since you have not experienced it before. I´m so grateful for you sharing all the views at top quality production level. 😎 👍
Nu har jag titta genom alla TH-cam video 1 till 2 om dagen ha en trevlig segling och många fler äventyr många hälsningar från Mikael från Sverige ( Now I watch all TH-cam videos 1 to 2 a day have a nice sailing and many more adventures many greetings from Mikael from Sweden)
You two are the perfect cutest couple ever! Other then my wife an I of course! Haha You two inspire and push forward no matter what. I absolutely love watching everyone of the videos you all created! Keep on keeping PLEASE LOL STAY SAFE!!!
I made it!!! Binge watched for over a week! Nothi else to do and I luckily have a couch (didn't buy it though). Should look into some of the best RV Wi-Fi extenders and cell tower boosters. Helps in Semi trucks parking at a truck stop when your not near the free Wi-Fi and spotty cell service for the cell boosters. Ever thought of using the tiny palm sized projectors to make a nice big screen for a late night movie? I use one in my semi instead of a breakable screen. Cell phone mostly but sometimes it's nice to watch a movie theater style.
Love your channel! Binge watched until I caught up and now just once a week. You are getting me and many others through this pandemic allowing us to live vicariously through your adventures--awesome. You've also given me inspiration to start working on an old project, getting my 13' Laser out of storage and refitted for sailing. As I am only watching once a week, I really have to say that I am noticing how good the quality of your content is--the editing, the videography, the sound, the drone footage, the b-roll, the selection of music etc. And Dan, the quality of the work on your boat is inspiring as well--everything is very well-researched and tastefully done. There is a group on Face Book, TH-cam Sailing Channels, and not-surprisingly Sailing Uma is mentioned many times for the ideas you have implemented. Stay safe and fair winds!!!
Yes! New video! I've found this channel on Step 228 and been subscribed since :D Binge watching while finishing blueprints assignment for uni (engineering) right now. This whole story has changed a lot for me so far. It will be interesting to see, whether we will meet on the seas once.. I would most surely like to ask you some questions about the beginnings of your life, but I'm gonna watch the whole series first, in case you already awnsered some of them. Fair winds and following seas :D
I've officially binged all episodes of your adventures! It's amazing that you have been able to experience so much. As I sit here in NJ I am living vicariously thru you guys! Be safe and healthy! Lol forward to more adventures!
I love your intelligent and thoughtful approach to sailing you two are the most at ease at traveling by sail of any one I have seen and your destinations are wonderful.
So looking forward to this. We are in stage 4 covid restrictions in Victoria Australia . You can’t go more than five km from your home without a letter certifying a medical appt or work. You can’t just go for a drive. Only essential jobs are allowed. We are allowed out from our home for one hour a day to exercise and or grocery shop and must wear face masks out of our home. We must social distance and it’s taxing. We are alive and well and have 6000 people in our state with covid and have had over 200 deaths. Our country takes it seriously and we support it as we need to eradicate it. We can’t take the it is what it is attitude, we are doers not watchers. People think of us as easy going which we are however we take things seriously as well. It is because of these reasons that your episode of sailing at night with a full moon mean so much more than it would usually mean to me. Thank you for giving me a different view from my country town one.
Welcome to stavanger, its really cool seeing you guys sail in the waters around where i live, love your channel and what you are doing, fair winds on your journey
If you want to, you could sail east to the Batlic Sea and hit up a lot of countries super fast. They are so close together, that going from one to another takes just a day or two. There are also so many amazing unique places to see, castles, old port towns and old cities. For example the Archipelago Sea by some definitions is the largest archipelago in the world by the number of islands.
actually---"tacking" is changing your direction relative to the wind when going towards it ( upwind). changing your boats heading relative to the wind, going away ( downwind) from the wind is jibing .
@@doolittlegeorge Dr.Doolittle : a spinnaker like that has a wide range of sailing from close hauled ( going to the wind) or easing the sheet and going with the wind behind you. this is the best part of sailboat nomenclature , a bit of kit that can distort definitions and keep a barman on his toes while we work this all out...
Sailing is (among other things) about the wind and your relation to it. When you are going windward (toward the wind) , you cannot go directly into the wind (in irons). So you sail to one side of the wind or the other. When crossing the wind in front of the sail you are "tacking". If you cross the wind behind the sail you be "jibing" .
Welcome to Norway. I hope you will have a great time. If you did go a little more north i would invite you to dinner. I hope you are taken good care of, and explore a lot of what our country has to show. Best wishes from Jan from Norway.
When we use chilli jam we add it to a stew/curry so it gives it some heat. We don't use it as a spread but maybe that's how it's intended to be used in Norway.
beautiful video- but why do i feel like i missed a chunk between this one and the last one; one of the things i be liked so much about your chanel is that there is a continuity in your story. and now i wonder where you anchored & slept once you got to Norway.
I guess you folks have had a good chance to get to know your electric engine and replacement Sail Drive combo by now. I am a newbie who only started watching these sailing videos a few months ago. Would love to watch an updated summary of how the electric propulsion is working out for you (have I missed it already?). Safe travels.

I'm 56 year old new subscriber from UK and new to TH-cam. I just binged watch all your past episode. I'm disabled and isolated from my family so I live in my bedroom but watching you guys made me laugh, smile, anxious and happy and I enjoyed all these feeling with you guys so thank you for letting me come along and for helping me to leave my one room and travel the world with you guy, I feel like a shipmate. Looking forward to your next episode. 😊👍
These two are just totally awesome
That’s a great comment, and I’m sure you’ll continue to love the journey. Hope you find a new adopted family here. Best wishes.
You are 56 years young!
Hey Bernadette,
I'm a German and 55 y.o. Welcome to my absolute favorite sailing channel on TH-cam. These two humans are awesome. I'm pretty sure, you will love them too. So ... welcome to the Dan & Kika show. 👍👍😏
Thank you for sharing, I'll bet your comment will bring very good feelings to them.
don't think i've ever told you two this before. i started watching a year ago, or thereabouts. with all the strife and unrest throughout the country, and the world, one tends to get a bit dark and lose hope. then i see young, self empowered people like you, out in the world, living a life that is positive and full of hope, and promise. and sometimes, watching you, and on occasion, re-watching you, a ray of hope sneaks back into my own sense of the future. thank you.
So true!
My jealousy has been kicked into high gear now that you’re sailing through the Norwegian fjords. What a life! Having watched from the beginning, I know you have truly, truly earned it.
You are Living the Dream whereas most of us are Dreaming to Live....
Hi you guys! My husband and I live in Bergen, a couple of days sailing further north from Stavanger. You'll be welcome to our place if you'd like! We are newbies to sailing and share the same life vision as you guys! Let me know if you'd like :)
Me too
Well..... I finally finished, took me about 8 days. My wife and I lived apart traveling international for our careers. Of course we saw each other every 8 weeks or less, meeting somewhere on the plant. I retired 10 months ago and moved to KSA to hang out while she worked. Now I ended up in lockdown since March. I started to work on our next adventure. So, I started a trek of Van living and stumbled upon you motor conversion (upgrade). The binge started........ Great job, keep sailing into your dreams. Will be watching you all for a long time.
I love to see in both your eyes how deep you enjoy sailing. Even after all this thousands of miles, you did in the last few years. It's the face of a child in front of the christmastree, when Dan is talking about sailing Spinnaker at night. It's fantastic. 😃
I love the cooking with dan segments. He's practical and turns out really tasty looking dishes.
I just finished eating and his food is making me hungry again!!! 😀
I've been watching many boat channels but my fave has been SVDelos for a long time now, but they are all about the people.
You two are all about the life and the struggles and the projects, real life on the boat, you give a true story of what daily life is like and the problems you face and how you overcome them. (Although I'd love to see more about costs) Your interaction with each other is genuine and pleasing and I've already learned loads about living aboard that I didn't know before. You may not know it but you are affecting peoples' lives and helping and inspiring them to live their own adventure.
Your channel is now my favoured one and I hope you keep up the excellent videos.
I rewound twice, and sang "Here comes the sun" with Kika
I enjoyed that part too!
"Everywhere I go I say it's my favorite place." Things just keep getting better and better.
Finally!! I caught up. I found one of your vids from watching van and schoolie renovations and yours was suggested. When I watched you guys do what I call "learn to fly on the way" I knew I had to watch the whole journey. Watched from step one and finally caught up with you guys.

"MacGyver"
@@jonothandoeser thanks 😁👍🏽
Try to watch *SV Delos* too.
The cinematography of their videos are stunning, however not in the first 10 to 20 or so videos - exercise makes master.
Jonothan Doezer Better then Mic Gruber. Lol
Me too. Just caught up. Started less than a year ago at step 1! Dan and Kika are so very smart. They've become outstanding seamen. Keep on not being in a hurry to get anywhere. 😀
That midnight sun is just so amazing. I miss my days fishing in Alaska. And, oh Scandinavia how I love thee!
I love seeing and hearing the many ways God is blessing you kids. Y'all are proof that God does send us HIS blessings through good hearted and kind people. People that give small gifts from their heart and except nothing in return.

Parts of this sail is like you were sailing through a watercolor ! Happy Trails
And that stew looked amazing too - I think I drooled a bit.
i thought i could smell it through my monitor
At 5:50 you could see the sunlight dancing on the horizon. So nice. The moon reflecting on the water was beautiful too.
I Love the way you have rebuilt your yatch, it's really very intriguing how you've redesigned the Kitchen area and the shower, and especially the electric motor, beautiful work, keep it up, it's amazing.
Dan’s favorite place is clearly wherever Dan is in the moment, usually with Kika. How awesome is that?
Cutest tomato I've ever seen! love watching you two every week, you both just radiate "happy" or content. ❤
I just watched your "Boat Tour" video and I finally peeled myself off the ceiling long enough to say THANKS!!!!! I'm in the market for a 40' , my first sail power but my greatest hangup has been the prospect of living in that, cookie cutter brown and blue space wasting interior.

Let me guess? You bought that couch?
The most beautiful boat on the water. You guys really have some am amazing job with that little cruiser
I’m a sucker for sea landscapes and lighthouses, the sun sparkling on the water like diamonds tops it all off. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
Beautiful footage. Summer sailing in the Nord has got to be arguably the best in the world for the longest daylight! Additionally, I'm continually impressed with Pearson's helm-forward design on this model, especially for crew working the winches behind the helm and or for solo sailing.

Been watching your videos for a while and I'm still not sure why anyone would put a thumbs down? You guys are great, as is your adventure :)
"This is my favorite place (to sail) so far," is what you say when you're thoroughly enjoying life.
G’day, I reckon your videos are absolutely spot on mate. The editing and cinematography are bloody brilliant ~ beautiful. Good on ya both. Safe passage and blessings. Cheers from Western OZ!!! Oi...Oi...Oi...
Cutest tomato I have ever seen. Great video guys.
@Daniel Pearson 8n 40s movies I've heard men refer to an attractive woman as a "hot tomato."
The time flew by on this video - props for the great content and editing to make me feel that way. Thanks for sharing this beautiful adventure. Cheers!
Always a pleasure watching you guys oh, it makes me feel like I'm there with you....PS, Kika, I think you should know that you are beautiful inside and out and hope you never change❤.....
Nice finally seeing you coming to Norway!
Catch myself thinking all the time "ahrg, it's raining again. They're gonna hate it!"
Wellcome to Trondheim soon, I hope! A nice place, but it rains a lot here as well.
Welcome to Norway, Kika and Dan! Started watching Your channel in June, and finished the last episode today. Come visit Oslo some day, too :)
Welcome to my favorite country on Earth - and coming from a Dane, THAT is a big compliment. I hope you had a chance to interact with some Norwegians because they truly are a breed of their own. Much nicer than us Danes. :-)
Today is a horrible day. It is the day that I’ve finally caught up to your adventures, and must now wait for new releases.
Fantastic videos. Worthy of a television series.
This episode was so relaxing, and wonderful. I, oddly, really enjoyed watching you cook and eat bread. Lol.

Unfortunately the rain is kinda typical too. Been living in that corner of the world for many years so I am super interested to see where you went next.
Great video thank you very much don't ever forget how lucky you too are be kind to each other forever.
Love the smiles good to see you guys still going ...everyone else is calling out and going back to being in a rut

Just beautiful! Sleeping during a rain has got to be so calming. Norway ..ABBA country. God speed you two! Stay safe.
Nu har jag titta genom alla TH-cam video 1 till 2 om dagen ha en trevlig segling och många fler äventyr många hälsningar från Mikael från Sverige ( Now I watch all TH-cam videos 1 to 2 a day have a nice sailing and many more adventures many greetings from Mikael from Sweden)
You two are the perfect cutest couple ever! Other then my wife an I of course! Haha
You two inspire and push forward no matter what. I absolutely love watching everyone of the videos you all created! Keep on keeping PLEASE LOL
STAY SAFE!!!
I made it!!! Binge watched for over a week! Nothi else to do and I luckily have a couch (didn't buy it though).
Should look into some of the best RV Wi-Fi extenders and cell tower boosters. Helps in Semi trucks parking at a truck stop when your not near the free Wi-Fi and spotty cell service for the cell boosters.
Ever thought of using the tiny palm sized projectors to make a nice big screen for a late night movie? I use one in my semi instead of a breakable screen. Cell phone mostly but sometimes it's nice to watch a movie theater style.
Love your personality Kika. Great views in the fjords.
We enjoyed this episode very much,... A very pleasant sail. Safe travels.
Yes we do want to watch you guys eat for the next 15 minutes that stew looks awesome!
Very nice imagery.. you two set a fine example with your tidy boat keeping and superb content. Keep up the good work and positive motivation. Cheers!
5:45 - absolutely stunning; must have been an even better view to your eyes.
It’s your favorite place while you’re there till you get to the next place the joys of an adventure
Love your channel! Binge watched until I caught up and now just once a week. You are getting me and many others through this pandemic allowing us to live vicariously through your adventures--awesome. You've also given me inspiration to start working on an old project, getting my 13' Laser out of storage and refitted for sailing. As I am only watching once a week, I really have to say that I am noticing how good the quality of your content is--the editing, the videography, the sound, the drone footage, the b-roll, the selection of music etc. And Dan, the quality of the work on your boat is inspiring as well--everything is very well-researched and tastefully done. There is a group on Face Book, TH-cam Sailing Channels, and not-surprisingly Sailing Uma is mentioned many times for the ideas you have implemented. Stay safe and fair winds!!!
Yes! New video! I've found this channel on Step 228 and been subscribed since :D Binge watching while finishing blueprints assignment for uni (engineering) right now. This whole story has changed a lot for me so far. It will be interesting to see, whether we will meet on the seas once.. I would most surely like to ask you some questions about the beginnings of your life, but I'm gonna watch the whole series first, in case you already awnsered some of them. Fair winds and following seas :D
Welcome to the community of Uma fans, lots of great content for you to binge watch, hope you enjoy it 👍🏼
Chilli Jams are a great complement to red meat or even chicken. Add some lime for that sweet n sour taste and it's great! Also try it with cheese!
ohhh will have to try that for sure!😋
Ya was going to post something similar...we love it with a creamy soft cheese
@@SailingUma Did you get tasty peppers in Haiti? Our favourite is Madame Jenette from Suriname about Habanero heat but with a really nice flavour.
Beautiful photography, peaceful video, happy faces. I loved every moment of it. Thank you!
Another beautiful video...as usual.
Awesome sail up the North Sea. Gotta love Scandinavian summers, where its still dusk @ midnight!! Fair winds and following seas Uma!!
15:00 actually i would love to watch u guys enjoy your meal
I've officially binged all episodes of your adventures! It's amazing that you have been able to experience so much. As I sit here in NJ I am living vicariously thru you guys! Be safe and healthy! Lol forward to more adventures!
I love your intelligent and thoughtful approach to sailing you two are the most at ease at traveling by sail of any one I have seen and your destinations are wonderful.
Love sailing with you guys. I can feel your joy
Absolutely lovely episode! A sublime overnight sail with cinematography that really captures the experience.
The chili jam over cream cheese is amazing. You eat it with crackers! Yum!!
Enjoy Norway! Proud too call it home :) Love following you on your adventures
You guys are a pleasure to watch thank you
You guys are the best sailing channel , you never fail to cheer me up Thanks
Are you familiar wit the “blue hour”? Just ask a local. I love the idea and the time. Magnificent.
norway and sweden home of the vikings .....
stunning coastline and islands, welcome to my turf ! Uma just kick back relax and enjoy
So looking forward to this. We are in stage 4 covid restrictions in Victoria Australia . You can’t go more than five km from your home without a letter certifying a medical appt or work. You can’t just go for a drive. Only essential jobs are allowed. We are allowed out from our home for one hour a day to exercise and or grocery shop and must wear face masks out of our home. We must social distance and it’s taxing. We are alive and well and have 6000 people in our state with covid and have had over 200 deaths. Our country takes it seriously and we support it as we need to eradicate it. We can’t take the it is what it is attitude, we are doers not watchers. People think of us as easy going which we are however we take things seriously as well. It is because of these reasons that your episode of sailing at night with a full moon mean so much more than it would usually mean to me. Thank you for giving me a different view from my country town one.
Sorry Australia is under such mind control.
Welcome to stavanger, its really cool seeing you guys sail in the waters around where i live, love your channel and what you are doing, fair winds on your journey
If you want to, you could sail east to the Batlic Sea and hit up a lot of countries super fast. They are so close together, that going from one to another takes just a day or two. There are also so many amazing unique places to see, castles, old port towns and old cities. For example the Archipelago Sea by some definitions is the largest archipelago in the world by the number of islands.
You guys are so relatable. Love watching your adventures on TH-cam!
I really like your videos thanks 😊. Hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Be safe and well guys and thank you for the video
You guys are great! I would have never known the beauty of this area without being your video stowaway
Hi guys,
I was wandering what dingy you have because I am in need of one for my own sailing adventure. Love the content keep it up. 👍
Was a very relaxing episode. Nice to see you sailing. Bon appétit !
Don't know any sailing lingo , what is tacking ? How far from shore can you anchor ? Love watching the videos.
Tacking is sailing "downwind" meaning the wind is at your back. Usually very slow but not in this case which is nice. Good question!
actually---"tacking" is changing your direction relative to the wind when going towards it ( upwind). changing your boats heading relative to the wind, going away ( downwind) from the wind is jibing .
@@SailorAllan why would he have the Spinnaker out while tacking? I think he's "jibing" us..
@@doolittlegeorge Dr.Doolittle : a spinnaker like that has a wide range of sailing from close hauled ( going to the wind) or easing the sheet and going with the wind behind you. this is the best part of sailboat nomenclature , a bit of kit that can distort definitions and keep a barman on his toes while we work this all out...
Sailing is (among other things) about the wind and your relation to it. When you are going windward (toward the wind) , you cannot go directly into the wind (in irons). So you sail to one side of the wind or the other. When crossing the wind in front of the sail you are "tacking". If you cross the wind behind the sail you be "jibing" .
Me encanta lo que hacen. Me motivan a seguir mis sueños. saludos desde Argentina.
Welcome to Norway. I hope you will have a great time. If you did go a little more north i would invite you to dinner. I hope you are taken good care of, and explore a lot of what our country has to show. Best wishes from Jan from Norway.
Love watching your awesome videos! Thank you for taking the time to share your incredible journey!
The sights and sounds of soft rain were very calming - nice!😁✌️💥
When we use chilli jam we add it to a stew/curry so it gives it some heat. We don't use it as a spread but maybe that's how it's intended to be used in Norway.
beautiful video- but why do i feel like i missed a chunk between this one and the last one; one of the things i be liked so much about your chanel is that there is a continuity in your story. and now i wonder where you anchored & slept once you got to Norway.
I love watching you guys ! Thank you for sharing your sails .
Loved your "twilight" sail, it is what makes sailing so enjoyable. Not heeled over and being bounced around, but a perfect sail. Enjoy Stavanga.
That shot with the lens flare @ 6:57 ... nice freakin' work Kika. :)
Wow!!! Gorgeous sailing thanks for sharing !!
I guess you folks have had a good chance to get to know your electric engine and replacement Sail Drive combo by now. I am a newbie who only started watching these sailing videos a few months ago. Would love to watch an updated summary of how the electric propulsion is working out for you (have I missed it already?). Safe travels.
Eyooo you sailed past my house! Cool!
