About three years ago, you were the first sailingTubers we saw. Your videos are always so beautifully done and inspiring. You guys made us want to buy our own boat. So we did! Aaaaaaand, last night was the first time we watched one of your videos from our own boat!
@@metalcore_lover Have no fears about learning to sail. There’s an unlimited amount of details you CAN learn, meaning you’ll never run out of things to improve, but what you actually need to be able to sail you boat is super easy. You can figure much of it out yourself by just trying. It’s definitely faster if you have someone to point you in the right direction, but there’s no such thing as not being able to sail. The hardest parts of it is taking your boat to a dock in tight quarters. The difficulty is not in avoiding danger, but handling our fear of embarrassment and potential damage on expensive boats. If you’d like to sail, just do it now. Finding a local sailing club is perhaps the best way…
First time I️ stopped and rewatched a TH-cam ad ever. You should be proud of your creativity and Audible should be very happy to have you guys as partners. Well done.
Dan and Kiki, it’s good to see you two back under sail. I’m amazed to see how seamlessly you two work together, but then what else should I expect after 7 years. Speaking of 7 years, I can hardly believe I’ve been following you this long, brings a whole new meaning to time flying. Dan, I continue to be amazed at your DIY abilities, I have very little talent in those areas. Keep on sending out the great work!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😎
You guys rock! The "audible" segment was brilliant - Very creative and yet, looked simple. It's Incredible how 2 people are able to manage an entertainment channel with such a level of quality. Most of TV programmes, with dozens/hundreds of employees can't accomplish the same, and yes, I am aware that you guys do all the work, write the script, move to location, direct, act, film, edit, commercial, finance, etc, etc, etc... Always amazed at the quality you guys offer to us. Thank You and Don't Stop!
And they can pour the patreon money back into camera gear and keeping Uma tip-top shape. I am so impressed that they didn't immediately upgrade to a bigger boat when they got big. I've seen other channels do that and it adversely affected their content somewhat. Something about the DIY ethic of Uma is so inspiring.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Even as an old fart that I am, I'm very tech savy and curious. What Daniel and Kika have done with good old Uma is simply awesome. From day one, repairing the hull and, very important, reinforcing it, updating it through the years. Gotta love those kids ! 😍
So many times when watching a vlog and the creator starts a commercial I close the vlog. But! Kika! You make the best commercials. So creative. So interesting. So much fun. Always.
You are in the place where I took my first lessons of sailing, 43 years ago and where I teached sailing during eleven years... Love this place ! ❤️❤️❤️
I was there at Easter 1983 we were sailing 2 Armagnacs to the Irish sector of Glenans Kobold Bleu and Kobold Jaune. Sadly no Glenans in Ireland any more.
I dont think you knew filming this episode, but the Glenans island are home to one of biggest sailing school in France. This is where most of my sailing memories are, very special episode for me ! Also you should maybe know that were you lost your drone is were we trash vegetable and sea trashable stuff 😂
I'm really enjoying the soundtrack on this one. Excellent choice! Really fits with the feel of the video and the place. Also, good work on the break points. Fitting the musical phrase within the edits to the video. Nicely done! You've gotten quite good at editing over the years.
We loved the part where y’all were exploring the town! I wish y’all could have shown more around the town, eaten a crepe, spoken with some of the locals and such.
Cool repair on replacing that little magnet. That the right way to do it and you made it look so easy and simple. I love watching you two so much. Don't change anything.
When saying, "Hey we can see Uma from here", sounds that much like, "I can see my house from here", you know you are where you belong, on the water living on Uma, you know you are in the right place. Fair winds, and be good to yourselves
Can’t believe you went to the glenans! My family tought sailing there, it feels so special to see it in your video :) - i’m so happy you guys enjoy Finistere/Brittany, it is often overlooked compared to the south of France. I learned to deep dive with the club on St Nicolas island (part of the glenans) - there are many cool wreck sites around there! Cold water but worth it Also “it’s sunny but you still need a sweater” is a perfect description of the weather here haha
The ability to see your breath is not really temperature dependent. The due point of the air is more important. The air coming out of your longs is close to your body temperature, and it is really humid. The air cools down really quickly as it comes out of your mouth and as the air drops below the dewpoint the moisture in your breath becomes visible. This can happen at warmer temperatures if the air is really humid. You can see this in the final scene in John Carpenter's The Thing. As Childs and Macready are talking you can clearly see Macready's breath. But you can't see Childs' breath. This means that Childs' body is much colder than Macready's body. This means just one thing. They never needed to mess with the blood test. Just take everyone outside, see who has visible breath.
Well Kiki and Dan nice going, that little magnet was getting tired of being cramped in there but didn't want to leave the boat 😃 sorry about the drone but pretty good record for 2 and 7 years. Old Stone foundations and structures are neat. Gives you a feeling of going back into the past. Well thanks and hope to catch you next time, happy sailing.
It's Been awhile since we're able to catch up with you, but never forget you🤗 Our major inspirators! We're now living our cruising dream in the Mediterranean, after 7years owning our boat!!!⛵⛵👍🏼 Your both so naturally good actors as well as seamen. Just too good!!!
Dan, you're being a master of maintenance projects has truly inspired me. I am currently installing a Sanimarine Toilet on our boat house. After a few initial miscalculations, I found myself thinking "What would Dan do; WWDD". Cheers!
Dying to know what you had for dinner after that exhausting day. Don't underestimate your cooking content! We love you guys in Uma's galley as much as under her hull. Wrestling in and out of wetsuits is not to be taken for granted. A day's work, for sure. Wondering why you've left your reel of light blue stern line up all this time. Love you guys!
Love to see the flag of my country (Uruguay) waving in a small footage on one of your videos guys! Keep up with the amazing job two are doing great! Love you! Big hugs from Barcelona
The Audible advert was cleverly done - once again well done Kika - it was fun to watch and now I got a free 30 day trial! I imagine it is pretty awesome to be sailing in cool but much warmer weather than the past few months. Awesome story, video, editing, music. By far the best sailing channel on YT. Keep it going and thanks for sharing! Cheers!
I've been using your shower idea for camping since you showed it to us all those years ago and it's brilliant but I never thought to use it for filling my wet suit .... Thanks for that ... Every day is a school day !! Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
You could leave the coordinates of the place where you lost the drone in the description. With so many followers on your channel there is a good chance someone might find the drone, pick it up - and maybe mail it to you.
Circular search round a line, buoy, or boat. You don't miss much. Next time, do a quick visual mark on the approx area it was lost. Then use a line in that area to circle around.
Ilse de Glenands, so calm. When i have been there last year there where at least 100 boats at anchor, but made the mistake to pass there during the we-end. Much nicer this way! Sorry about the drone 🥴
I actually went "oooooh" when I saw your video was sponsored by audible because i was so excited to see how you did it! And you didn't fail to impress me! Very entertaining as always 😁
Aahh you lucky ducks, you sailed with "Hubert" for a few minutes. That Imoca is racing in the Vendee Globe coming up. Glad you enjoyed the south of Brittany, I did all my sailing in that area. I miss it a lot.
Alternative to epoxy cement: E6000 glue is available in U.S. hardware stores, Walmart, some grocery stores, some drug stores. E6000 sticks to almost everything. Important feature:E6000 is slightly flexible when it is dry. Therefore it will not crack and break. Waterproof.
I love your RONA bucket. My RONA dealer is so close to home, about 8 km. I love you guys. Every one of your posts has something for me in. Surtout quand Kika parle français from time to time.
It’s very affordable. When I lost my car key off the dock in puget sound, we bought one for our replacement key. But, I can appreciate the visual of a scrappy DIY styrofoam solution! 😂
Your little island reminds me of The Isle of Mann. I am glad to see that you use full gear including head and hands for cleaning the boat bottom. Everyone should follow your example.
"For every genreS" - hahahaha, love that! Too funny. Wayyyy better plug than the usual......Kika, you are precious! (Yes, she reads, listens - while sailing - and talks real good)! Which part of the video was sponsored by Audible? 🤣😅😍😅🤣😍 You make sponsors palatable! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤ ps, love the hot water in the wetsuit, pee is the next best thing, works....lol! Seeing your breath, look up dew point spread.
Another excellent episode, and I hope you get another drone soon. Meanwhile--have you considered (if someone sponsors it, and you can find storage space) one of those rechargeable 12 volt hookah diving rigs for bottom maintenance, anchor de-fouling, and similar tasks? I have memories of a challenging afternoon chopping an infestation of (razor sharp) barnacles off the shaft and prop of a Swan 46 with a putty knife at a marina in Florida...one breath at a time. The owner didn't realize they'd attached themselves (after not sailing for only a couple of months) until he started up and found the engine absolutely incapable of moving the boat either forward or backward.
Howdy Uma from Calgary. Must say your very valiant attempt at the lost drone recovery was so impressive, while the wet suit donning episode was simply hilarious. Dan I was totally focused on your windlass chain counter magnet story/repair until I spied the extremely weathered Rona pail in the background. Couldn't believe it was still on board after damn near circumnavigating the Atlantic. Had to laugh we may very well be the only ones aware of what Rona is. In all seriousness another great episode, see you next week.
Nice step! Glad you managed to fix the chain counter and clean the bottom of the boat! Sorry about the Drone though! I couldn't help laughing at you being impressed with the thickness of the walls though, if you get the chance to see the ones at Gibraltar (or the Alhambra) you'll see why :-)!
A tip from an old diver, when putting on a wet wet suit, use freezer bags on your hands and feet , they will help slide the suit on with no trouble at all.
Hey Dan! I already wondered where I‘d put those, but now I know…. it‘s YOU wearing my shoes! 😅. Congrats - they are so comfy - and I found them also quite good to use on deck while sailing unless it really pours. But unfortunately they also might quite soon undergo wear and tear… 🙄 starting at the pleat near the toes… Still you might check out the brands bathing/water shoes as well, which could be usefull heading towards the Med`s urchin areas :-)
You really should listen to Three Mages and a Margarita with Dan . It’s one great book series that actually is a great listen .. 20 books in universe now and a dedicated group of fans .. it’s truly a hidden gem of a story.. it’s a great couples listen .. romance .. magic .. dragons … a really big story too
Another excellent episode! Thanks! Hey quick question, couldn't find it in the Spotify info- who was the singer / band for the jazz waltz during the castle segment? The voice sounds very familiar but I can't place it ...
The putty stuff you used is FAIR, but if you want something to stay forever, you need to use the stuff called JB Weld. They also have it in quick set. Whatever you put that stuff on, it is on there until the cows come home.
Cool episode. I lost a drone last year at low tide in less than 3 feet of crystal clear tropical waters... still couldn't find it, and I knew precisely where it went down. It's a very big ocean for such a tiny drone to hide out in. 😒
Imagine how he would have reacted if they had ordered, bought, and waited for a replacement part only to find it in the chain locker during the repair.
There is a floating Drone on the market, I don‘t know the Brand. I‘ve Seen it on another Sailing Channel, Captain Rick‘s Sophisticated Lady, perhaps you can ask him where to get it. As always, you are the best Sailing Channel at present.
Drones are very light, relatively. Some stylish foam pontoons gluded on would allow you to land on water, or at least not sink and be lost, no fancy/unreliable air system needed. I invent things, you're welcome. I bought a cheap dog tracker (a tile might work for Apple) works 300 ft to phone. If lost in grass or trees that would help as well. Makes for a quicker search pattern. The next Uma AquaDrone could be awesome. You might also consider an underwater drone, see if there are things to dive on, film or fish for. Love your content. Sail on, thanks for the show. 🐬🏝🐠 ⛵
Hi guys ! I’m a huge fan and definitely love yours videos… but I am not sure you did great cleaning Uma in the middle of the Glenan’s archipel. This is a strictly, restricted and protected area. I know you were not informed, you guys care a lot about protecting our planet so, I thought you would prefer knowing about that. Hope you enjoyed our marvelous « Finistere ». Continue realizing our dream ! Cheers
Lol, I like the outtro... blank... because the drone is lost. I mean I don't like that the drone is lost, but I like how the outtro is accurate and not just recycled footage.
Next Project for Kika and Dan: You've got Back Powder, a waterproofed tiny plastic Box, a small plastic bag and someone who tells the Back Powder to do it's thing at the right time. The Quest should be to construct a Drone Rescue Device (DRD). 😉😏 ... and place it on the market. 😎 But on the other hand, I'm really glad, you don't had thrown that magnet down to Neptun too. You know, his Fork ... 😁

Just finished binge watching every episode from Step One on up. I dreamed you purchased a Garcia 52' Explorer. Nice boat guys!
"It's backwards..." that was very funny moment.... laughed so hard. Y'all are such beautiful spirits!
when one reason you watch a channel is for their home made commercials..so creative
Nice to see you're having a good time in France. Also nice to see some technical work done. Like the little orange toolbox ! Greetz John.
So cool to see you sailing next to that IMOCA 60! That boat in particular is a legend! One of the best in class.
On other channels, I usually fast forward through the ads. I watch Uma's because of Kika's creativity. Advertisers should take note!

Always well done. What a life you both havewith one another. You two are well matched.
I don't think I've ever seen a better matched couple.
...The fact that they went through architecture school together: great preparation teamwork in design-and-build projects.
Great to see y'all back out on anchor. Sorry about the drone. There is telling where the current / tide took it.

@8:04 You cut the clip off too soon. I wanted to know if that boat hit the dock. It was coming in hot.
I thought that too, but then I thought that they actually hit the dock and DanKika just didn’t want to embarrass them so they chose not to show.
@@janbennetsen7292 you are probably right. He looked like he had his hands full
An automatic self-inflating float sounds specialized and therefore expensive. How about just gluing on a block of styrofoam?
It’s very affordable. When I lost my car key off the dock in puget sound, we bought one for our replacement key.
But, I can appreciate the visual of a scrappy DIY styrofoam solution! 😂
Cute audible ad, loved the history walk, glad u got sensor fixed, great team work on search & cleaning. Always love your vlogs ❤️🇨🇦
Another superlative show. I wonder if sometimes you wake up and think “nope, not today”, I’m guessing that you don’t. Chapeau to you both.
Your little island reminds me of The Isle of Mann. I am glad to see that you use full gear including head and hands for cleaning the boat bottom. Everyone should follow your example.
You do the best commercials 😊
Dan- how’s the vitamin D doing? You’ve gone Canadian pasty!

What a nice way to begin my day! (Watching your videos). Thanks

Love how you brought a Rona bucket to the other side of the Atlantic puddle. A little piece of home :)

@10:10 It's Eric Bellion. He raced the Vendée Globe wit that boat.
The putty stuff you used is FAIR, but if you want something to stay forever, you need to use the stuff called JB Weld. They also have it in quick set. Whatever you put that stuff on, it is on there until the cows come home.
You had my attention at 1500th century. That would be cool to see.
Cool episode. I lost a drone last year at low tide in less than 3 feet of crystal clear tropical waters... still couldn't find it, and I knew precisely where it went down. It's a very big ocean for such a tiny drone to hide out in. 😒
Every video Dan is fixing stuff is golden and makes me smile
Imagine how he would have reacted if they had ordered, bought, and waited for a replacement part only to find it in the chain locker during the repair.
he grew up seeing things repaired 80 miles from the hardware store
I am in Las Vegas. I have 110F in my bedroom right now, the sun just set:) I don t ever want to have to deal with 12 C ever again:)
There is a floating Drone on the market, I don‘t know the Brand. I‘ve Seen it on another Sailing Channel, Captain Rick‘s Sophisticated Lady, perhaps you can ask him where to get it. As always, you are the best Sailing Channel at present.
Are you going to Les Sables d’Olonne? Must see is the street artwork made of shells in the town.
Top result with the putty and so lucky to find the magnet again!
Kika: looking forward to the sun!
Fog: welcome to the North of Spain, baby 😎 (or around there)
Should of gone to see Abbaye du mont - Saint Michel .It's absolutely stunning
Drones are very light, relatively.
Some stylish foam pontoons gluded on would allow you to land on water, or at least not sink and be lost, no fancy/unreliable air system needed. I invent things, you're welcome. I bought a cheap dog tracker (a tile might work for Apple) works 300 ft to phone.
If lost in grass or trees that would help as well. Makes for a quicker search pattern. The next Uma AquaDrone could be awesome. You might also consider an underwater drone, see if there are things to dive on, film or fish for. Love your content. Sail on, thanks for the show. 🐬🏝🐠 ⛵
The "Under Uma" segment. 😋
Could be quite handy for checking anchor and prop as well. Warmer too.
Probably the only Rona bucket in France 😂
Hi guys !
I’m a huge fan and definitely love yours videos… but I am not sure you did great cleaning Uma in the middle of the Glenan’s archipel. This is a strictly, restricted and protected area.
I know you were not informed, you guys care a lot about protecting our planet so, I thought you would prefer knowing about that.
Hope you enjoyed our marvelous « Finistere ». Continue realizing our dream !
Cheers
You can’t clean your hull in a protected area? I didn’t know that was an issue.
They are only rubbing off the marine growth that came from the sea in the first place. They are not "cleaning it" in the sense of using chemicals...
The Glénans sailing school boats with their signature red band in the main sail.... memories
I love the French attitude to teaching sailing to as many kids as possible here in the uk it’s been made into a sport for the rich and well off
Kika, your acting is brilliant and your film is a masterpiece

greetings from Poles from London :)

Lol, I like the outtro... blank... because the drone is lost. I mean I don't like that the drone is lost, but I like how the outtro is accurate and not just recycled footage.
Next Project for Kika and Dan: You've got Back Powder, a waterproofed tiny plastic Box, a small plastic bag and someone who tells the Back Powder to do it's thing at the right time. The Quest should be to construct a Drone Rescue Device (DRD). 😉😏 ... and place it on the market. 😎
But on the other hand, I'm really glad, you don't had thrown that magnet down to Neptun too. You know, his Fork ... 😁
You must go to Malta and discover the Knights of St John and how they defended the island against the Ottomans and survived the great Siege of 1565. 😁
That stinks. I lost my drone a few weeks ago. It’s good to have the flyaway coverage.
