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.
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...
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 😊 👍😎😎
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.
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.
Keep admiring your dodger. It’s the best design I’ve seen. Not one wrinkle in it!
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.
Awesome crowd of electric bikes of various types coming off the ferry. Super!
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!
Awesome, that looks amazing!
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!
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!
Welcome to Holland! Great to see you guys, here!
You are so lucky with the weather, just perfect timing ;-)
Once again, beautiful images! Thank you very much!!
Welcome to Holland, so awesome to watch being from here myself
That was great to see that part of the world. Thanks and God Bless.
Thanks guys. As I grew up there ( now living in Canada) this was a sweet little taste of home for me.
What an amazing experience. Holland is a beautiful place.
I love that the electric motor sounds like a V8! ;)
Great video! I was reminiscing about my time in Holland a few years ago. Hope you have an awesome time!
really cool to finally see a sailing channel go through a channel that I'm familiar with
Definitely looking forward to learning more about how that motor works for you.
Yes, my favorite sailing channel too!
Awesome video - goose bumps. Great job! Amsterdam is a special place.
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
Good to get to visit with you all again....take care and stay safe...thanks for the vlog!!!!
And finally up to date. All 219 steps watched.
I love your channel. It's a go straight to when the notification pops up 😊
Welcome to my country....great to have you here!!
Very nice to see you here so far from home. Welcome!
We got our sailing lessons there last year
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 guys! You're the best!
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!
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.
So nice seeing you sail through "our" waters. We anker there last summer and swim a lot. Have a nice trip.
My home port! Welcome to Amsterdam! I am in Sydney now, hope to see Uma here at some time in the future...
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!
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.
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!!!
You don’t just look like pros - you are. Loved this video! It was pure and simple.
We enjoyed traveling along,... Amsterdam is a very busy place. Safe travels.
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
Nice to see you in our country. It’s made for sailing. Have fun.
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.
Amsterdam, the Lakes Maarkermeer and IJsselmeer are my favorite sailing areas. My boat is in Enkhuizen. Nice little town.
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!
Another Masterpiece !!
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.
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
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!!
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 😎
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!
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.
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.
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.
Weird finally seeing you in places where I've been a lot! That big red yacht has been there for ages being worked on.
I love the bicycle culture of Amsterdam. I stayed there for a week once and didn’t want to leave. It’s beautiful
Love the video ⛵⚓ uma going places 🌏🥂
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.
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!
Wow what an experience you had going through that Port!! I would have loved to have stayed put for a while and just taken it all in........ ENJOY all your experiences in Europe guys!! Loving this diff type of video ie NEW and diff sailing ports etc.
⛵ 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.
Always great to watch your episodes. Content, image & sound quality and the beutiful sceneries, everything is excellent, Getting that 200k fallowers pretty soon!
Very very nice to see you in my country. Loved it.
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.
Loved sailing into Amsterdam. Youre right in the centre in that great marina!
weather looks great, glad the motor is working well
Welcome to my country. 🇳🇱 When were you here; it must have been 2 months ago, I reckon. Behouden vaart, you both 🌹
Really love your filming and perspective as well as your editing! Just amazing! New subscriber and really enjoy everything about your channel and your conscious effort to live minimal yet also living BIG and putting emphasis on making power through wind. water. solar and electric motoring keeping our earth happy! 💋🤗
Thank you for taking us on inland water ways of Europe. just beautiful.
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!
Enjoy Amsterdam... beautiful place ... spent a day there when I visited the Netherlands... watch out for the bikes 😁
This is friggin epic and mind blowing... sailed across the globe ... cheers to Uma ... cheers to you guys.
From Pretoria ... South Africa
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
Ha ha ha
That anchoring job was hilarious!
One foot of depth... 6 feet of anchor chain.
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, 😀
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.
this is zo good i do follow you for a couple of months now and im also dutch! i hope your both doing good and enjoying this beautiful country and i did love all of your video's from the start untill now so i will keep watching!
Nice way to see The Netherlands on the water rather than road. Nice work navigating the canals crazy busy place.
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!
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!
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.
Wonderful! Both your Uni education make you excellent cruisers!!
Great video .thanks for posting.
Hi Kika and Dan!
Your maneuvering and docking under motor looked much improved. Have you been practicing? It‘s good to see, that you have a good range motoring. You made the right choice going electric.
Have fun and be careful!
Beautiful Amsterdam and Holland greta to see you guys there.
So nice to see you made it to my home country. Enjoy your stay in The Netherlands!
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.
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! :)
Love you guys and love following up your adventures. I have a small boat for crousing on Amsterdam canals, where I live as well. So, really enjoyed this episode, of course)
The best of luck to you!)
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
"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.
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
Finally caught up, enjoyed the ride.
Welcome to the Netherlands!! Hope to see you on the IJsselmeer. Great weather for sailing lately. Be sure to visit Enkhuizen!
Great vid i enjoyed the scenery.
