Welcome in Holland , i'm Dutch and a follower already for years .
Your anchorplace at Durgerdam is only a short sail from were we keep out ships ( a private yard ) in Weesp at the river de Vecht .
If you need water , electricity , do your laundry , or a place to moore for a few days let me know .
Also we have a workshop so you can work at your ship .
Always welcome and for free .
I sure hope Sailing Uma sees this post. That's a very generous and useful offer. BTW I'm Dutch-Indo. First one born in the US after my Dutch speaking family immigrated here from Appledoorn.They were in Sumatra before Holland until after the war. I visited my Great Grandmother in Nederland many years ago. Holland is such a special place.
@@tamara8908 Almost correct. It's spelled Apeldoorn ;)
@@previsieitbeheer4921 Thanks, guess when i was a little girl and my family talked about where the came from, I always thought of 'apples".
You’re a good man johan, cheers from across the pond.
Very kind gesture from your part, Johan. Sailor always appreciate this kind of help on land. Good luck meeting them, and maybe we'll find out if they accepted (and how it went) in one of their videos!
New subscriber here. There are endless channels with couples floating around the Caribbean, but northern hemisphere sailing is much more interesting with weather and tides and historic locations on shore. Watching your transat (and the excellent hurricane videos) it’s clear you’re both the real deal and really looking forward to following your progress through Europe (you’re not far now from where I keep my boat in Zeeland).
On man you just stumbled upon the most capable couple on YT sailing. Welcome
@@captaintoyota3171 they sure are incredibly competent and able.
Love the way your boat is clean inside and out, everything in its proper place.
It's ship shape 😄
Great to see my home town (and actually my house) in your video! Hope your having a great time. Lots of good sailing weather and water here lately. As you may have noticed, a lot happens on the water here, but like someone said, were used to it: just go with the flow and enjoy 😊 👍😎😎
Keep admiring your dodger. It’s the best design I’ve seen. Not one wrinkle in it!
Was it just me..... when that couple was waving at us, I felt like I needed to wave back. Your videos make me feel like I'm right there with you. Thank you.
Me too!
@@pixelgraphica me three
Lol now that you mention it...!
That's what these videos do to you, they suck you in and before long you become part of the adventure like holding on to your seat in high seas or feeling the sea spray on your face, all while sitting at home watching the video.
Common behavior on dutch waters. You greet each other.
After binge watching for the last six weeks, I finally caught up and have to wait each week like everyone else. I love this channel and the hard work you’ve put in over the past five years. Thanks for taking us all on your adventure!
I just caught up to your post.... LOL 2 years later.
For a long time follower, I love to see you in Dutch water.
I hope you have a wonderful time, during your stay in the Netherlands (my home country)
Amsterdam is so beautiful, I love 'Her' not just because I was born there.
I love your style of filming and editing. I feel like I’m right there with you. Looking forward to seeing Amsterdam with you. I’ve mentioned it before however due to my spinal/ head injury and diplopia, I’ll never travel or see things how I would love to see things in single vision and on my own two feet. I’m grateful to be alive though and to watch your explorations. I always look forward to your episodes as it’s my only way to travel. Thank you so much.🐨🦘🌊☀️
I don't have the severity of the problems that you have Deanie, but I haven't been able to move without my walker for two years now. I had a 4 w bypass and etc in Dec 2016 and a stroke that took away my entire right side in Dec 2019. I lived on my sailboat, a ketch-rigged, full keelboat, with my wife and 2 boys from April 01 till Nov 01 every year from about 1975 until I sold her in 1995. Then I kayaked about 15,500 or so miles in my Sea touring Kayak from 2004 till about 2018. Now I watch with intense interest while my new friends Kika and Dan do marvelous things on their sailboat.
Thank you for sharing this video, it makes us homesick from the last time we were in the Netherlands, enjoy the inland waterways and barges!
Did you know that the channel was constructed between 1865 and 1876 and before that time the opening to the North Sea was where you are anchored now at Buiten-IJ, used to be a sea but now it is fresh water. In the days of the VOC the small ships used to take all the goods around to Texel to load them on or off the big ships that would sail to the East Indies.
How did they change it from sea to fresh water?
@@elliegreen7647 | By building 'The Afsluitdijk'... (Enclosure dam) in 1930. Look at google earth and you will see it from space...
One of the things I love about you guys is that you Sail much more than you use the motor. I've seen far too many sail boaters use their motor more than their sails.
Thank you so much for also supporting the gofundme appeal for Patrick and Rebecca Childress! We sailors have to help each other in times of need!
Remembering home. Our living on our boat started in Amsterdam 1990. I like your attitude, sail when you can. Sails are more as solo ornaments as you see so often today.
Thanks guys. As I grew up there ( now living in Canada) this was a sweet little taste of home for me.
Awesome crowd of electric bikes of various types coming off the ferry. Super!
Nothing better than seeing a sail boat sailing.
Welcome to Holland, so awesome to watch being from here myself
I always feel compelled to make sure that whatever I am doing, I must do it the best that can be done, after watching you two. Thanks.
Welcome to Holland! Great to see you guys, here!
I have officially binge-watched Sailing Uma up to present. I'm Jonesing for more. Y'all have journeyed in more ways than one! I eagerly await Step 220.
Viewing from stay-at-home in the States, the images of life in Holland during a happier time was a respite and I admit brought a tear to my eye. Warm regards!
Once again, beautiful images! Thank you very much!!
"It's against our... code to not sail when there is wind." Agreed 100%. My Capri 30 doesn't even have a motor anymore. The very few times we can't sail, we straight up row.
PS: You guys are my favorite sailing channel, and the only one that my wife enjoys at all.
I would like to see a video of you rowing a Capri 30.
Without an engine you are not allowed on the noordzeekanaal. Sailing on the noordzeekanaal you must have an engine on standby which is capable of a minimum speed of 6kmh(3.3kts)
@@msnpassjan2004 Haha, it's not very effective. I've only done it twice. Once, my brother and I were rowing with my wife on tiller, the other time was quite a bit more successful. Back when I had a motor, I took a bachelor party sailing. When we sailed off the dock, I explained to them how I consider using the engine as admitting defeat, and we had a laugh. Fast forward to later that night, the wind died completely, when we were about two hundred meters from the dock. We sat there for probably fifteen minutes with no change, so I went to crank up the engine, and the four guys that I had taken out protested, reminding me that I'd told them that was admitting defeat for me. I laughed and told them I had paddles. With zero hesitation, they rowed us the last two hundred meters, hahaha.
That's a cool shot going through the bridge! 😲 It's awesome that you've reached Amsterdam, I hope you guys had a great time there!
I love the bicycle culture of Amsterdam. I stayed there for a week once and didn’t want to leave. It’s beautiful
really cool to finally see a sailing channel go through a channel that I'm familiar with
We enjoyed traveling along,... Amsterdam is a very busy place. Safe travels.
So fun watching you guys go to my home port of Amsterdam while we are 'stuck' on our boat in Panama !
Have a fantastic time in NL & Amsterdam
As a dutch person myself this video brought back so much memories of me as a little kid. We had a 7meter wooden sail sloop. And every year we went through the oranjesluizen. And around durgerdam to Hoorn! And I loved watching all the industrial harbours and big freight ships! Thank you! I hope you have fun in the Netherlands!
You can go South through the Netherlands to the province of Zeeland. And then there hit the sea again! :)
You don’t just look like pros - you are. Loved this video! It was pure and simple.
Definitely looking forward to learning more about how that motor works for you.
Amsterdam, the Lakes Maarkermeer and IJsselmeer are my favorite sailing areas. My boat is in Enkhuizen. Nice little town.
So Nice to see you in country, love to watch your adventures. Uma en Atticus, my favorite sailing vlogs. Stay safe Guys, and enjoy Holland. Love from Groningen.
Familiar places. We just started our journey from there two years ago. So many pleasant and warm memories associated with this place. Say hi to Amsterdam!
Your pronunciation of Noordzeekanaal was spot on, Kika. And yes watersports are very popular in the Netherlands so it can get a little crowded on the water. Great video!
I stayed at a Hostel about a 5 min walk from that marina! Amsterdam was an amazing city! I look forward to visiting again as soon as I can
I spent some time in Amsterdam and used to walk by that same marina daily and think "One day I will stat here on my boat". Happy you guys are there now! It is a gorgeous city.
Brilliant , I did the same trip down the Nord Sea canal to Amsterdam after arriving in a gale. We also sailed down the canal( no marina at Ijmuiden). When we arrived in Amsterdam we discovered they were in the middle of the 700th anniversary of being declared a 'city'. There were 2 dozen tall ships and thousands of yachts parading around the canal in front of Amsterdam! We didn't even know it was on!
You are going to love the Islemeer and the Netherlands one of my favorite place to cruise to! Mooring up in the middle of 1000 year old towns like Hoorne. Have a great time , and take you time . Go to Friesland too!
Cheers Warren
Wow, you sailed across the ocean, awesome. You two are the real deal. 30 miles on a charge is pretty good for your new electric motor. I really enjoy your videos. You two are definitely awesome.
My last trip to Amsterdam was in June of 1998. Watch out for bicycles.
Thanks for talking about the motor, I have been very curious! Hope you have a great day and smooth seas :)
Thanks for shouting out Rebecca. Fingers crossed for those two lovely humans!
So nice seeing you sail through "our" waters. We anker there last summer and swim a lot. Have a nice trip.
Just chilling in the bed, watching your episodes early in the morning. Really enjoy your explanations of everything you are doing. Just really enjoy watching and listening to you both. Thanks and be safe.
So cool to see you guys passing through Amsterdam! We specialize in building electric boats, so seeing Uma come together more and more is awesome. Enjoy Europe and welcome to the Netherlands!
Really cool camera work. I remember wandering around Amsterdam and I was a bit naive and suddenly wondering why girls were staring at me from windows. I had wondered into the red light district. Being a bit shy I wandered out of there quite quickly! Lovely city.
Found your channel a few days ago and I’m loving it😃. Past 2-days of binge watching is lots of fun and very educational. If you ever find yourself in the pacific near Okinawa stop by for a rest. The wife and I would love to show you our beautiful island. 😃 thank you for sharing your adventure 😎
I have been slowly catching up starting from step 1. Being Dutch but living in Australia that has it's borders closed I have been so looking forward to the start of this particular season! Pretty homesick now.... especially hearing the 'merel' sing while you were docking. Love your content!
I have recently started rewatching your whole library of videos. The Haitian portion is, I believe when I became hooked. I have always been drawn towards the road less traveled and Haiti deserves to be loved. Hope you are enjoying the Netherlands.
Is it me or am I hearing a lot of engine noise while y’all are motoring? I thought the new sail drive was silent. No matter, love you both and please keep sailing and sharing! I may never have opportunity to live aboard like that so y’all are my vicarious go to !
Thank you!
Kika and Dan, so nice to see you testing the electric engine, it will be very interesting to see how the gori prop work for re gen, of course you have to use time to adjust the setup, 30 nm on batteries, you must be really proud and happy about that, fine tune and keep up the good work, enjoy Amsterdam , as always i really enjoy your videos, and new projects, 😀
Another FANTASTIC episode, Holland is such a cool place and not often the subject of any kind of "press" so thanks so much for sharing your adventures there!! Keep up the good work, I already can't wait for the next episode, Cheers!!!
15:40 There’s a satisfying ’fffwwwuup’ as the head sale fills with wind.
Very nice to see you here so far from home. Welcome!
We got our sailing lessons there last year
Weird finally seeing you in places where I've been a lot! That big red yacht has been there for ages being worked on.
My heritage is Dutch I was born and raised in Holland Michigan where the two hundred-year-old windmill is.. it's good to see you guys in my hometown
Welkom in Nederland. De uitspraak van Noordzeekanaal was best goed 😀. Geniet van jullie verblijf.
Nice way to see The Netherlands on the water rather than road. Nice work navigating the canals crazy busy place.
Ha ha ha
That anchoring job was hilarious!
One foot of depth... 6 feet of anchor chain.
I love that the electric motor sounds like a V8! ;)
Welcome to Holland guys! You're the best!
Holland looks like an awesome country. From what I've been recommended you should try Indonesian restaurants in Amsterdam, best ones on this planet. Good journey and fair winds!
Yes, my favorite sailing channel too!
Another quality episode! It's taken me a few months to get current since finding you on the interweb. BTW, several steps back Kika was wearing a "Avacado-holic" t-shirt. That made me think my avacado-holic daughter might like a shirt like that. I found the shirt online and purchased it for her. She loves it!! Be safe and keep doing what you're doing!!
What an amazing experience. Holland is a beautiful place.
I was few times in Amsterdam but it is first time that I am there by ship! Thank you for new knowledge. Btw. my family enjoy in travelling with you both, nice young people. Thank you.
You are so lucky with the weather, just perfect timing ;-)
I know you put a lot of effort into the music for each episode. I really liked the background music in this one.
Lovely video of crossing busy Amsterdam! Your new electric engine rumbles beautifully like a V8 looking for some victims 😎
Amsterdam as a city and the Netherland Lifestyle is a must. Sitting at a cafe for a breakfast in the inner city channels a life experience.
Sometimes it's good to be slower than everyone else. Thank you.
That was great to see that part of the world. Thanks and God Bless.
Welcome to my country. 🇳🇱 When were you here; it must have been 2 months ago, I reckon. Behouden vaart, you both 🌹
Your shirt in the first half is a nice touch of prophetic foreshadowing.
Thank you for taking us on inland water ways of Europe. just beautiful.
A large thanks for interesting and entertaining videos, I hope that you both will enjoy the good energy from all the people you make happy.
Nice to see you in our country. It’s made for sailing. Have fun.
I have seen this twice and have to say starting at 8:01 this is award wining stuff 8:55 starts to get great and 9:10 to 9:19 is so very cool. Great Job!
that tambour sliding door you created drives me nuts. I made one out of old growth Doug Fir tambours, It's great but your's, such great lines still drives me nuts! My boat 91 year old cutter is a restoration thats taken me years in recreating some of the past . You Guys are inspiring in your art of design and efficiency and rase the bar for sustainable, responsible future.
Great video! I was reminiscing about my time in Holland a few years ago. Hope you have an awesome time!
And finally up to date. All 219 steps watched.
Welcome to my country....great to have you here!!
how cool it must feel sailing into Amsterdam on your own boat. what a thrill seeing you guys on the move again although understand this all happened prior to the self isolation measures were put in place. hope you guys are currently in a good spot.
Amsterdam is about 230, -40 km away from my hometown Bonn, former capital of West Germany. My friends and I visited a lot of times Amsterdam.
With 16 I hitchhiked to Amsterdam on my way to Ireland.
Great city, great nightlife.
⛵ Great episode. You mentioned it was a tight Marina, it sure looked like it to me too. You did some nice maneuvering to get into your slip. Wishing you safe sailing. Thank you for the video.
Hey. You made it to my my old stomping grounds. I love the way you didn't even try to pronounce the name of the lake you're on. What's the matter? Can't pronounce IJsselmeer?😁
I'm shocked by the lack of masks and social distancing, WOW. I thought it was slack in Montreal as were reopen. Good to see you are on the move, and that your new electric motor has some range as well. Keep making Canada and Haiti proud.
i'm pretty sure this video footage was mid to late March before everything came to a screeching halt.
Welcome to mainland Europe and the locks.
A little advice on the locks. If you run a line from the winch in the cockpit, up on land and back down on Uma, you can control how tight the line gets, from the cockpit, and that way Kika or Dan won’t have to stand/sit with it in the hands while going up or down.
Just an advice, from a Caledonian Canal veteran 😉
Welcome in the Netherlands, I hope you enjoyed it.
I love your channel. It's a go straight to when the notification pops up 😊
Enjoy Amsterdam! And spring in Europe !
It is so nice to see you here in my country! I have been following you guys from the beginning. And last year or the year before I was in Mexico cause my husband had a job in Quretero. And we saw you cycling across the street when we visited a place near Cancun...Unable to contact you at that moment. What can I say you are such a nice couple and I love every video. Thanks for all the nice stuff and keep enjoying life the way you do! Big hug, Erik
I visited Amsterdam last year and had a wonderful time.
If they are open, visit the Rijks museum & the palace, you won't regret visiting them both.
Always great to watch your episodes. Content, image & sound quality and the beutiful sceneries, everything is excellent, Getting that 200k fallowers pretty soon!
Welcome in The Netherlands
Don't worry about anchoring in shallow waters. All grounds are sand and mud. With light weather you can even purposely run aground to stay somewhere a few hours :-)
on Markermeer watch out for waterplants (fonteinkruid) especially between Marken-Hoorn. You can expect to swim to clear your prop again. IJsselmeer doesn't have that problem
Enjoy your stay
Welcome to NL! Looking forward to see how you experience our fresh water sailing (especially how you experience the electric motor in the sometimes busy waters). Ps. My big tip: don't forget the 'islands in the Waddenzee' (Terschelling) and try to 'dry up' for a day and collect your own mussels for diner!
So nice to see you made it to my home country. Enjoy your stay in The Netherlands!
Hey you two, last year we stayed in the Six-Harbour too! Very nice and very short by the ferries to downtown Amsterdam! Have fun there! Greetings. from Germany,, Jörg
"That time I sailed back after the Hurricane" ... That was the last video I watched before watching this one 😀👍
Welcome to The Netherlands !!!
Good to see you in the Netherlands!
