THAT kind of sailing IS the fun... always loved rough weather sailing here in the North Sea! Whne my friend and myself went out for a sail, all other boats were hurrying back to port! ;-)
for cooking offshore saw a cruising cat video where the family uses pressure cooker pots instead of regular pots... speeds up cooking time & less chance of spills... good luck with the great north!
Right, With his skills to fix anything and his mellow laid back attitude, he is almost like a young Brian... Yes Dan, i compared you to the Godfather of TH-cam sailors! ;) lol
As I sit here and binge watch these episodes to get caught up, I realized I've been smashing that like button before I even watch the video for at least the last 100 episodes...probably more.
We find that negativity and pointless emotional breakdowns serve no purpose. They don’t make the boat sail any better and doesn’t fix any though situation. A clear mind and positive attitude are way more effective.
You two are my best ever tough cookies ! You do show us the real life on a blue water "small" boat. You deserve my utmost respect. PS I just unscribeded from another channel featuring 2 1/2 (new born baby) Aussies sailing a (heavily subsidized) million dollar Français catamaran. A hotel suite on water. So shallow persons and their skin deep friends.😛 Nothing in common with you two or your friends of Learning the lines. I really love your adventures, your commitments to each other. Good sailing, dear young friends.😍
Oh that is not fair. You left us hanging. Here's a tip for you for your trip to Greenland as it will be colder. When you make pasta or potatoes, save the broth that you boiled them in and use it to make some fresh soup to keep you warm. That way you cut back on your water usage and you gain the vitamins that are left behind in the broth. Keep smiling and sail on.
Such a cool transition. As much fun as watching beautiful people tool around the beach is, I really enjoy watching the refit stuff and then the big sails. It's important to take some time on the beach, but you only move forward if you're moving. Fair winds!
So... need a new solar panel now hey? (I'm guessing that's what the cliffhanger was about. ^-^ ) I love the way your little boat just keeps bobbing along as if it doesn't even notice the weather being thrown at it. Reminds me of the little train that could.
I have a hard dodger on my boat, found myself out sailing the other day in 46 knots, 9' seas on a 6 second period, and hail at the same time! Also I have 2 100W solar panels mounted on it! The upside is also having windshield wipers! Looks like you guys are off on a new adventure!
Riding the Storm out on a Big Northern Blow Having to Tack makes the sailing so slow Sailing the chop of a Big Sloppy Sea Makes it slow to get where you want to be.
Pretty woolly, but probably nothing compared to what may be encountered in the N. Atlantic. A good opportunity to test what works and what doesn't. The dodger looks plenty dodgy. I know you'll get that sorted before you head across. Love to you guys and please be safe. Finally, as always, thank you so much for bringing us along. Steve
You'll encounter the beautiful turquoise waters again with a different climate. Glad the little problem didn't become a difficult one!👏👌👍 Have a beautiful sail⛵🐟🐚🐬
...So love your sailing footage! Best I have seen in living memory! Also loving the slo-mo stuff too! Will definitely have to remember the hammock in the companionway idea! So sad to see you leaving the warmth, but anticipation of things to come is fuelling my eagerness to see your next chapters. Thanks for another wonderfully vicarious episode. As always, have fun, take care and fair winds and following seas.... :-) Cheers, Mike
My thoughts too. I watched their whole video this time. I don't usually bother. And I think this journey it would be more interesting to watch. Hopefully more real sailing than just white beaches and bikinis
Great to see you out doing what you do best,I was coming into Fort Pierce I let and got waked from behind in rough sea causing have my solar to come off,just missed my head
Damn it! Don't let us hang like that! I wanted to see more... Great episode as usual. You guys have become real good at filming and specially editing. Have a safe journey and keep up the good work
The mother of all cliffhangers. Love your channel. Uma, Atticus, Nahoa and La Vegemite are my top 4. Plus 1 for the pressure cooker. Saves fuel and speeds up cooking. Combined with a induction cook top with a larger inverter of course it will change your life.
We are leaving the Abacos tomorrow headed to Florida. Seeing you in winter jackets makes me so jealous - I could really go for some cold weather right now! I'm also jealous that you're going to see land that is taller than your boat. I miss seeing hills and mountains.
You always make the worst parts of sailing look enjoyable, good job! Unless I had something really pressing in Norfolk I would have turned in the St. Mary's inlet and anchored at Cumberland Island for a few days to let that nasty weather pass.
If you cut your tomatoes 🍅 with the peel down so you cut through the soft flesh first it works much better (Less mess, less squished tomato). 😊 Another great video! Love you guys ❤️
Another great video guys doing some real weather sailing and doing a great job that hammock look did look comfortable if you drop the F-bomb I think so lots of laughs be safe
Why is it the Dolphins always enjoy or like or want to say hi to every vessel upon the ocean. I remember one time sailing off the coast of San Diego there was a dolphin or porpoise migration there had to be a couple thousand of them they were everywhere as far as my eyes could see one of the greatest experiences I've had. I've also seen many whales one in particular surfaced approximately 10 feet off the port side of my vessel it was Father's Day I just hung up the phone saying Happy Father's Day to my dad and I didn't know that it was there until it breathed out scared the holy crap out of me it sounded like a jet engine falling from the sky really enjoy all the videos looking forward to your new adventures
We had a dolphin encounter the day after a galley fire, night one of taking delivery on our 1953 Sparkman Stephens custom wooden yawl. We had a gasoline engine and a leak in the bilge. Of course next morning we cleaned and cleaned, still hesitant to turn the key...just then a dolphin surfaced and stayed out of the water a few moments making eye contact with me and I then knew it was ok to start the engine. It was quite a special moment, I told the crew it will be ok and it was...moving the boat from the Chesapeake Bay to Lake Michigan, uneventful thereafter!
Curious to know how you guys learned so much about sailing and navigating, boat repairing, etc. in the time span we saw? Seems like a lot of knowledge to absorb and apply, in retrospect to how far you travel?
We'll be looking for you on the Chesapeake! Great video! I did that trip last year in the gulf stream and gained 3-4 knots. With that, unless you have an S in the wind direction you stay out of the stream.
Aaaarggg! How can you leave us hanging like that? You are so mean (lol)! Nice video showing that sailing is not always fair winds, calm seas and sunshine. Dan you need to sharpen that chef's knife before you end up making tomato paste out of those tomatoes instead of cutting them. Take care guys and hope your solar survives the night! Can't wait for the next episode.
Haha yea don’t worry the wait shall not be for too long ;) as for the knifes we have quite a few that need sharpening, this specific one we used is a rescue from our friends on Cool Change😄 back when we were in Colombia
Hello from Prince Edward Island, Atlantic Canada. I hope you will be stopping by on your way through. I've watched since the beginning and would like to meet you as you go through
Mallorca? Think, this would be the largest meeting ever. On the other hand: Long time ago Kika and Dan told about monthly expense. They live economically - fine. But what will they do in the western Mediterranean sea? Seldom anchor grounds, high prices in the marinas ... new kind of challenge.
@@wjhann4836 Well, there are a lot of bays in Mallorca where anchoring is possible free of charge. Santa Ponsa is a very protected bay and so is Portocolom. Even if you're on a budget it's possible to spend the summer on Mallorca without spending a fortune. :-)
@@uhoffmann29 You'r right - in some areas. There area also sandy areas in the north - but seldom protected. I just visited the east coast of Spain. Wide sandy beaches, but in wide areas no protection if the wind comes from east.
Long distance from the video location to Iceland, and even a lot longer to Mallorca and the west Med. Potentially lifetimes worth of exploration along that route. I assume they will spend some time along the long Norwegian coast, which apart from stunning scenery, has several hundred thousand islands, with innumerable off grid sweet spots for the night. There will be enough non harbour videos...
@@SteinVarjord Norweigian? IMHO a strange location. Please remember - Uma is a light GFK boat, not suitable to live on in cold conditions. I remember another couple, that tried to rework their boat in the North east of USA - they had a lot of trouble in many ways of their living. They asked the community how to deal with the moist inside. But there is no solution for the moist. I'm exited how Kika and Dan will handle that.
Very impressive trip. I've been following /listening to some "on the wind" podcast from '59 north' and that's all they do is offshore passages. ThaNks for sharing you defiantly have your sh*t together. Cheers Warren.
@@SailingUma I spent a long time with that same dilemma; there is a nice mooring field in Sheepshead Bay right adjacent to Coney Island, Dead Horse Bay is a decent anchorage same area. The issue with slips at most marinas in the city is the boat can't be older than a certain age and they don't typically allow liveaboard. I chose Marina 59 because they ticked those boxes (not an affiliate), but I prefer a slip to being at anchor and the A train runs a block away. You may have luck north of the Throgs Neck bridge though I honestly didn't even look up there because the further North toward Manhattan and East toward Long Island I checked the more expensive it got.
I am surprised that your Pearson heeled 25 degrees. Our Pearson 40 (shoal draft, centerboard) kicked over 15 degrees at every point of sail and sat there. Would not spill your coffee. PS I always see you two on a beat. You can sail downwind, you know.
We've had her well past 50° when we got knocked down. We estimate it was closer to 60-70°. Which I guess is a full knockdown, but sure scared the shit out of us. It's all about how hard you sail them. 15° is certainly her comfort zone, and she doesn't really increase in speed past that.
Hope you know what wait for you sailing in the far north Lat's. Canada to Greenland is hard, Greenland to Iceland is horrible, Greenland to Scotland is a nightmare. Iceland to Norway too. Apart from the temperature think on the whole European weather comes this directions. Most Sailors come from the US/Canadian border to Scotland and this is a hard törn. Good luck and fair winds Tom
Wanambi Yes, lots to think about on this route...Ice coming out of the Arctic usually a lot around until sometime in June. Storms... if you take a look at passage weather you will usually see low pressure systems spinning off the American east coast every 5 days or so. Here you get some serious storms... Force 10 is not unusual. There is a reason most folks go Bermuda Azores... on this route you can pick your Wind by latitude.. need more go North.. too much drop down.. The Azores are a special place!!! Bermuda nice but not for the light of wallet! I paid 10 bucks for a rigging needle last time... Having done three crossings myself, one single handed ...This will be interesting! Mike from Storm Svale
Would love to know what Dan Cooks:-)! Hope he got some wellies for the north:-)! That poor guy motoring through those waves, they always look small through the camera - I think it's to do with perspective. Got to watch the next episode now after that cliff hanger :-)! Thanks again for sharing these steps!
Well done a reasonable sea state so good sailing not rough at all , it’s when you can’t see a horizon it’s rough , we had 4000 miles of late of bad weather so good luck

My Italian heart breaks looking at Dan's pasta 😂 thanks for sharing such a wonderful experience. It's so inspiring!
Uma from the warm puffie safe zone into the ocean. She loves the hard winds and big waves. Hope you have enough tiewraps to keep Uma together.
Cliffhanger huh,...We are enjoying your new adventure, and Very good low light videoing, Safe travels.
for cooking offshore saw a cruising cat video where the family uses pressure cooker pots instead of regular pots... speeds up cooking time & less chance of spills... good luck with the great north!
IMHO not worth /suitable for pasta. Meat or long cooking meals absolutely yes
huh? Pasta takes 7 minutes, easiest thing to cook. The pressure cooker for everything else.
Yup set it on 50ps for Italian sausages little water us the steam plate on top takes 18 mins.. Juicy plump good stuff ....
Thank you....just getting started on big boat living and didn't think of this. 👍
Dan, you are amazing . Anything breaks - you've got it fixed in 5
Probably your best video yet Kika. You guys ace it :)
Right, With his skills to fix anything and his mellow laid back attitude, he is almost like a young Brian... Yes Dan, i compared you to the Godfather of TH-cam sailors! ;) lol
As I sit here and binge watch these episodes to get caught up, I realized I've been smashing that like button before I even watch the video for at least the last 100 episodes...probably more.

Your a jealous dick head.
Great Video Thanks!
WoW ...Uma is sailing like a sports boat.. the wind and is controlling here beautifully.. I love the hammock idea..
good sailing well done

I am so sorry you two are sailing away from the Bahamas. The scenery has been so beautiful. Be safe up north!
Another great episode, thanks guys!
All your footage puts a 😊 on my face🤗
you two are just the right amount of crazy mixed with practicality.
Great to see some serious sailing!
Have a good trip and I hope to see you soon in another exciting chapter of your journey.
"It's not the Journey or the Destination it's the Company your with" Safe trips UMA.
You guys are troopers. Safe sailing in the future!
Good to see the good the bad and now waiting to see, possibly, the ugly.
Thanks for sharing, you two have a safe journey.
Rare to see low light footage that good. GJ !
Yes,,
I have a hard dodger on my boat, found myself out sailing the other day in 46 knots, 9' seas on a 6 second period, and hail at the same time!
Also I have 2 100W solar panels mounted on it! The upside is also having windshield wipers!
Looks like you guys are off on a new adventure!
Really well done. You manage those conditions and still film.
The logo on the water at the end looks awesome, nice editing throughout.
Yeah. Uma stretching her wings. That's what ⛵ are made for.
You pair are unbelievable, I really love your videos, all the best from Australia
Right on... good run, real sailing. Big waves, rough and challenging, breaking stuff and getting through it. That's what it's about.
Been following you folks from the beginning. Wishing you all the very best. May the wind and seas be kind to you and UMA.
Riding the Storm out on a Big Northern Blow
Having to Tack makes the sailing so slow
Sailing the chop of a Big Sloppy Sea

Nice to see some real sailing for a change vs the puufy sauntering around the Caribbean.☺️
My thoughts too. I watched their whole video this time. I don't usually bother. And I think this journey it would be more interesting to watch. Hopefully more real sailing than just white beaches and bikinis
Hey Jennifer, good to see you here :-) Meet you in Vegas?
There's nothing wrong with a beautiful woman with a great figure wearing bikinis. ;-)
Can't wait to see yalls new journey and adventures hoping for a smooth and safe passage!
Glad you are coming north! Hope to see you in the Gulf of Maine.
Great to see you out doing what you do best,I was coming into Fort Pierce I let and got waked from behind in rough sea causing have my solar to come off,just missed my head
holy cow i just binged all the way from the start to now lol
😄👏👏👏
Thanks guys. Great footage and editing.
Damn it! Don't let us hang like that! I wanted to see more... Great episode as usual. You guys have become real good at filming and specially editing. Have a safe journey and keep up the good work
You guys rock at sailing, Oh my goodness but the cliffhanger
You guys are so great, hope all goes well & safe sailing in near future.
Awesome! I need to catch up!
Wow, that’s some tough sailing. Good to see the autopilot works well, that is a lifesaver.
Sending love from Morocco 🇲🇦❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
How much hard work you put into this.
My captains hats off...
Co. 32 . No. 370.
If you come to England I'll look out for you
Fair winds and Godbless .

Nice to see some real sailing!!!
If you cut your tomatoes 🍅 with the peel down so you cut through the soft flesh first it works much better (Less mess, less squished tomato). 😊
Another great video! Love you guys ❤️
Hmm a novel thought; perhaps sharpen your knives.
sharp knives matter. I have yet to see a sharp knife on a sailing channel
Dave Hurst that certainly helps 😂 It looks like Elayna on Sailing La Vagabond has some descent knives 🔪
Dave Hurst , Free Range Sailing are always sharpening the knives
best of videos of this year
Safe journey 🙏🏽
Wow !!! now thats adventure !!!!
To heck with that...Ide go back too the Bahamas 😁
Great job! No motor sailing here! Way to go
Kind of makes ya want a full enclosure back there I'll bet. And a little Kimberly wood stove going into parts of the world with 4 seasons. Lol
Safe journey from your friend up in Syracuse New York.
Shoe and long johns I hope you have.thanks for the video, be safe. :)
Another great video guys doing some real weather sailing and doing a great job that hammock look did look comfortable if you drop the F-bomb I think so lots of laughs be safe
I'm going to miss the Bahamas videos, but I'm looking forward to your adventures north.
Riders on the storm .... into this boat we're born ....into this sea we're thrown ... . Looks like you guys are up for it though, :-))))
I bet the film didn't do the drama justice. Stay safe guys.
Best of luck with your journey north and east.
Since you guys are headed to colder climes, I'd love to see a compilation of all the times either of you say, "It's cold".
And temps. Numbers.
Ha ha ha, I was thinking the same thing. lol
