I am considering suing you guys because of the addiction I have developed after binge watching everything you have. Your channel is about the most informative and entertaining I have seen yet. Now that I am down to just the new weekly episodes the withdrawals are killing me. I just love you guys.
Haha! 🤣🤣🤣
Great use of the street musician to provide music interludes. That's a cool addition for videos. Nice sail shots from the dingy. The never ending sunset.
I am a new subscriber. I found your channel from Odd Life Crafting. They’re another young couple fixing up a boat. Someone recommended they look at the tour video of your boat because of all the cool space saving ideas the two of you had incorporated. So I checked it out too. I watched a lot of your recent videos and just went back to step 1 and have been binge watching all week. It is amazing to see the changes you have made to Uma over 5 years and to see how you two have grown up together. You look like babies in that first video. It’s like you see a well established couple and just think life has always been that way, but you have no idea of the struggles they’ve faced on their journey. I vote for Dan as the most interesting man on UA-cam. Your man card is safe no matter how many chick flicks you watch. Love you guys.
I always love your hand holding scenes, whether you are walking in public or you are all alone on a hike. They are always 100% real, never staged, what loving people!
Yours is one of those channels, and they are very few, that I just automatically hit like on even before I see opening images. So pleasant to watch.
FYI It's better to "like" after you have seen it! It's a better algorithm for Uma!
What are those other channels? I would love to know.
I know what you mean, Mike. I have watched and ‘liked’ every step & supplemental video. I figure it helps Kika & Dan in some small way. When I first discovered them, the had tens or twenty thousand subscribers. Now they’re up 10x that. Keep on adventuring, K&D!! ⛵️ 🥂
@@hyd119 I will give you 4, La Vagabond, Uma, Delos and Basic.
I do too.
Cool!! That white and bleu model at 04.58
That oil Rig is made of Concrete and was build in Holland in Rotterdam.
I have worked on that Rig for almost 2 years....It was named the Andoc module
Hello, Kika and Dan! So it shows David Gassman as the commenter, but it's actually his wife Chryse here. Dave found your videos a few weeks ago and quickly had me and our daughter hooked too. We've caught up to you, although I actually need to go back to watch a few vidoes from your early years. We love the water, so watching your videos is fun, educational and relaxing. I can't believe how much we've learned about sailing from y'all. I don't think we'll be sailing the world anytime soon, but it's fun to dream. Both Dave and me are in the architecture/engineering/construction world, so we also love when you nerd out on architectural components. Keep it up! I thought the architecture of the petrol museum was very interesting and sleek. Just a side note, I noted in one of the videos a while back that you were having trouble with your ear plugs and wanted to tell you to try Mighty Plugs. They absolutely changed my life (we're snorers), and I think you will find them beneficial. Thanks for sharing your lives and supplying the great entertainment and education! Can't wait to see more! Yamas and Opa!
Hi Chryse! Its always fun to hear other architects appreciate our nerding out about architecture 😁 also thanks for the ear plug suggestion. I recently got some “small size” plugs at the store but i dont know if they were too small or just didnt work.... but i ended up throwing them away. I will lookup the mighty plugs :) cheers!
It’s so nice to see Kika smiling at the world. I think she is the most content and positive person that I have ever seen. I’d love to have her for a daughter or daughter-in-law just to have someone else that happy in my family.
every step you have taken has enriched not only you but us as well. keep taking steps
For the musicians among us, thank you for including your street guitarist...such a delight. I guess you guys aren't too far from Magic Carpet. If you connect get Maya to play for you.
I think Uma is a few months behind, pre Covid the way she is touching everything
Yeah really good
I'm not a musician, but I loved his play. Subtle and beautiful.
I think they are closer to RAN Sailing who are making their way up the east coast of Sweden. Man I love the towns and cleanliness of Scandinavia. It's such a nice fresh change with extra long days and the nicest of people not to mention these are die hard sailing countries. I hope Uma has a good look at some of the Swedish boats. Here is RAN II.which is a 1987 boat. André ua-cam.com/video/0By5vAZdESM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/kFqEdSDb0wE/v-deo.html
I mean were 10 months into this pandemic how behind could be
For the love of all that is holy use the kill switch strap on the dingy. I know many people ignore it, but it is there because hundreds of people a year get tossed out of their boat and run over by their own prop or have their boat leave them in the middle of no where
Absolutely, USE THE KILL CORD!
@@Matthew-ut6ed
My brother's brother in law was a highly experienced fishing guide who died when he got thrown out of his boat and it ran him over.
It happens to professionals...it could happen to you.
I know, mate, spent a lot of time on small boats myself. That's why I'm telling them - please use the kill cord!
@@Matthew-ut6ed
It especially worried me when Kika was sitting on the side of the RIB steering with her foot.
Holy Sheep Dip!
Even though you guys do not burn gasoline and diesel, there are many many materials and products essential to your journey that would not be available without the oil and gas industry. Once again, great video.
Dan, Kika. I spent 7 years working on the oil rigs off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland,
And I want to Thank you for that tour...
Gotta love when she got out of the dinghy while they were underway, and he said just like navy seals! She is so cool! Love you both!
The dingy shots of Uma were just beautiful. It was also very nice that you showed how you took the shots. Knowing how something was done is always special.
Super smart videography, story telling, and editing. It was really cool how you used the music from that street performer and tied it in to the foot tour of the city. I really enjoyed the content from the oil museum as well. It is amazing how the oil industry had fundamentally changed our world for the better. Yes the waste from these products need better means of recycle but that is another story. The dingy footage was amazing as well. Dan did an awesome job on the single hand sail changes while Kika scored the awesome footage. What a team. Thanks and Cheers!
I could not agree more!! 🙂, your filming & editing are of profound quality.
This channel (Sailing Uma) is the right step forward regarding petroleum use. That industry has led to many amazing possibilities, but it is hugely important to see the bad affects burning fossil fuels has done to planet earth in the last 70/80 years and discover better ways. If all that was needed from petroleum were sheets on a sailboat, great!...but just look at the beaches around the world, and the air we are breathing, and the devastation from climate change many are suffering from today - that industry needs a re-booting.
It’s really cool and beautiful video
i wonder if that guitarist knew that thousands of people would see him play? probably not ...i too find oil platforms fascinating- i talked to a rig engineer once and he said it’s always really cold and windy on them you are so high off the water too - it sounds scary .
On another subject : Are you going to meet up with any of the other sailing you tubers ? Ran sailing is in the baltic with the cutest baby Vera too.
Awesome i
respect for the amount of work you put in your video the quality allround is so good
I was thinking to myself, who needs dinghy footage anymore when we have drones? But then I watched your footage and see that it’s still a big advantage to have a creative human holding a camera. Great shots!
Besides, there are countries with very strict restrictions/regulations on the use of Drones. You need special permission and whatnot.
I love the music "It's a good day to be alive".
I think you have inspired my wife and I to visit Norway in the very near future,
as soon as possible after this era of Pandemic Pandemonium.
Thanks for sharing your travels and experiences with all of us,
and thanks to your patrons and sponsors as well.
Newton-Bermuda
You guys' make me smile every time I watch you. Thanks
I agree with Stephan Sails. Except, I totally loved the older gentleman playing his guitar!! Thank you for adding him in this video!
I work in a company that make's the modern variant of the airgun, a High Voltage Sparker. We used to do a lot of surveys for Oil and Gas, but to day it is 90 % windfarms. Times are a changing.
Very nice to see people that learn about things that they think they don't like. That is how we become informed and can make informed comments and decisions. Keep up the great examples!👏 👍 🇨🇦
What a great idea to use the busker on the street to play for you. The whole video was terrific right to the very end. Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
It's reassuring to see your boat is more stable than the dock. Bowsprit's looking good. Try to not freeze. :)
Thank you for experiencing and, more importantly, educating American people in the advances and expertise that Europe has developed. I admire your humility and, excellence in communication. Wonderful choice of accompanying music.
The amount of editing and video capture that go into these videos should not be underestimated. 😳 Thanks for sharing with us 😁🙏
That was great. Love the guy with the guitar.
It's great to be able to get shots of your own boat. I love it when fellow boatsmen send us pictures.
Love your channel, such a great mental escape from landlocked Minnesota. Cute couple. You may forget all the places you've visited, but you never forget all the great people and warm hospitality you've received from strangers.
I have one thing to say concerning the topic around 3:54 . Well, when you go to that museum it's never good to get there late. Even right on time is not the best. The very best thing is to get there a little oily. : - )
I LEARN SO MUCH FROM YOUR TRAVELS! GOOD JOB
I really appreciate and admire the fact that you've taken an old nondescript cheap Pearson 36' (Bill Shaw?) and turned a 40 year old boat into a self sufficient, very beautifully refitted electric world cruiser. You're an inspiration to anybody who wants to get out there and sail, particularly on a budget, I'm guessing significantly more than pre kung flu!
Just so nice that you started out on a fixer upper and have grown it into what it is now, both boat and channel.
In my humble opinion, ALL HAIL THE CHEAP FIXER UPPER, and the wind vane!
You two are exceptional. I’m never disappointed sharing a bit of your life twenty minutes at a time.
I have not seen such perfectly statisfying shots before, capturing the essence and joy of sailing.
Stunning Stavanger thanks for sharing in this video the guy on the guitar was amazing and the museum of oil wow!
Have a great week and looking forward to your next video.
Fair winds. Greg in the UK 🇬🇧
I just noticed you got a roller for the spinnaker. I love your videos thank you
BTW , Uma looks fantastic under spinnaker , but what I really love is that new dinky little forward /back throttle control you put on . Looks super easy to use, love it :)
Your boat looks so beautiful and UMA is so happy you rescued her.
WOW! Thank You, So Much! I have never seen where my wife's family came from, though it is a small glimpse, Now I have. Thank You, You guys ROCK!
Ok. I´m all caught up! Watched all of your videos! Enjoyed every one of them. Waiting for the next one!
Very enjoyable channel - Great video editing. Well chosen musicalizing. -- love today´s song: "Goldheart - Good Day"
Tremendous work with the boat renovation - very good taste and ingenuity.
Great story to tell your children and grandchildren.
Keep it up!
Anchors a weigh and great sailing adventures for years to come!
I love visiting museums, including ones that are about something I have no interest in. I spent hours in a train museum in Kyoto last year, don't care at all about trains lol. Old stuff is cool. Plus I think it's important to support such places, they preserve our history.
You really should visit the Crotchet Museum. I can't spare the words to describe it. Small is good.
Your street musician seemed to be playing his own rendition of Green Sleeves. At least there won't be any copyright on that. I finally caught up to date on your past videos. Thanks for all your efforts.
“Off Shore” oil drilling was developed here in south Louisiana. One of my family was the pioneer an builder of the concept .. Alden J. "Doc" LaBorde
16:50 A roller-furling spinnaker. How cool is that?!
After countless repetitive school trips to that museum over the years, I’ve now not been there in probably a decade or more. So seeing the museum again through the perspective of someone being there for the first time was interesting. If you walked by the trainstation, I live on the other end of the local line an hour away. Found your channel a few days ago and it’s so far been a fun watch!
Is she always so delightfully happy 😊
And Uma is looking so good.
Irresponsible? I didn't see anything like that. That museum looked awesomely cool and I love the shot of the yawning dog LOL
my favorite couple on youtube, always sending out positive vibes. ❤❤❤🤙🤙🤙
Thanks for the tour in the Petroleum Museum, very educational. A little unsettling how they perforate the ocean floors😲
You two have the tightest film making/editing of any channel I watch. Super cool to see how you have progressed over the years. Keep it up!
better than zatara
The floats on the oil platforms is an interesting demonstration of buoyancy. Most people don't seem to understand that once you sink your float under the surface it stops gaining buoyancy. So a canoe with an ama - once that ama is completely submerged, there's nothing to keep it from rotating all the way around to capsize.
The trick of the student submarine project - to make something neutrally buoyant yet not sink, is to have a straw or almost anything that sticks up just above the surface. A perfectly neutrally buoyant object can be anywhere in the water near the surface, 40 feet down or anywhere in between. We had a water balloon that oscillated between the bottom and the surface of a tank for over a week. So the amas I made for my very narrow kayak I made wide and high, in most situations they just graze the surface, but if I'm climbing back on board they won't sink all the way down. Most kayak paddle floats should be a bit bigger, or people should train with them more. Again more busy body stuff.
There's a TV series from Norway called Occupied which is based upon the Norwegians deciding to stop all oil production for ecological reasons, and how the rest of Europe and Russia responds.
Another great step.
I really liked the guitar player. Great BBQ. Awesome video. Thank you.
Beautiful shots of Uma from Coco.
Not only have you become great cinematographers, you come up with great shots and ideas. I find you guys super inspiring, an example worth following and I'd like to try something similar myself.
Thanks again for a great episode :D
Yeah it’s awesome just trying to get a read on why I’m not seeing any mask wearing in these towns thank you
Your episodes are incredibly visual, interesting and fun. All the other comments pretty much cover the thoughtful details you put into each week. I particularly enjoy the effort that you invest in videography. You guys are real pros now. Stay safe and warm from Canada.
I was placed on hold forever for a service rep on the phone and was getting increasingly p.o'd when for some reason I flashed on the scenes of your beach bbq at the end of this episode. You created some real magic there, powerful images of life's good moments. Out of nowhere they swept over me and became a tonic to my foul mood. That's pretty potent storytelling. Thanks!
I know I’ve said this before, but your video quality just continues to excel. Well done team Uma.
Great guys. Excellent production as always. Super editing. So entertaining. U r now (& have been for some time) the Gold Standard for UA-cam & beyond. And u didn't even mean to b. Just amazing. Wonderful.
Beautiful dingy shots! Must be cool having a photography chase boat.
You guys are so blessed to be able to live your dreams. Great videos keep them coming... living the life!
That little scare made me laugh😆.. thanks for the laugh!
I love that you are so realistic. You do your part and understand oil is a necessity. I wish more young people were so informed. Love you guys from London Ontario. Using your wife and dingy as a two dimensional drone, is thinking outside of the box.
I love the guitar guy... thanks!
Same! And He was happy to share his skills :)
I initially hit subscribe from seeing 30 seconds of you guys speaking, didn't have time to properly watch that day. I now realise you really deserved my subscription as your content is totally awesome and I love what you are doing. Gav, Leeds UK
Oil industry is literally alien for most people. 99% of people has no idea on how much and sophisticated things are. And, how big.
Worked on a seismic ship for 5 years, very cool experience.
During the early 1980s, I worked for a computer manufacturer. One of my clients was a major international oil company. The annual budget for their information tech department (one building) was more than $200 million. (That's 1980 dollars.) Just for computers used to find oil & gas.
Norway is unique in being a small, non-corrupt, democratic country which used its oil resources to actually benefit its citizens. But its outstanding management of this resource and the country's relationship with the major oil companies is said to owe a lot to an Iraqi petro-geologist called Farouk al-Kasim. He fled Iraq (with his Norwegian wife) in the late 60's right when the Baathist Party came to power. Coincidentally, this was when major oil finds were being made off the coast of Norway. Farouk al-Kasim was hired by the Norwegian government to help them figure out how to manage the development of the oil fields and negotiate with the big oil companies. There is a great article in the Financial Times of London, "The Iraqi who saved Norway from oil" Aug 29, 2009, which talks about Farouk al-Kasim's story.
Thank you! Salem Engineer , so interesting.
Norway is an an American Vassal state and as corrupt as you can get not a lot going on in your head is there
- - -@@yfelwulf : From what part of the old *USSR* , or current *Iran* , do you come? 😡😡😡
To quote a Scotsman _often_ heard here, *_"yer fekkin' eedgit!"_* [sic]
Yeah unlike Thatcher who squandered the UK' share of the north sea oil wealth on tax cuts. :(
Mr al-Kasim has a Wikipedia entry! He's a very important person in the history of Norwegian oil industry, but quite anonymous. He was hired an a whim! Being a refugee from Iran, when he came to Oslo, Norway and walked past the Ministry of Industry, he walked in and told who he was and his background. After a an hour or two he was hired as a consultant to the ministry. In an interview he was described as one of three people who developed the political structure for managing the Oil Industry. Mr al-Kasim and tho other guystook a weekend off, went to a small wooden cabin, and developed the strategy. He is fully deservant resipient of the Order of St. Olav

This is so cool. My daddy was an architect and he got us kids to build models. We preferred balsa and plastic airplane and ship kits, cos you could swing them on string, shoot at them with airguns and set them on fire on the pond etc. Which did not impress him, especially when we asked to set firecrackers and blow up some of his models, it would be so cool dad, please... Great video. Thanks.
I really enjoy you adventure and cinematography. You two are great artist.
Amazing photography. I watch your videos and often think, “Wow, that would be a great shot to frame”... and then think, you both are living these beautiful shots! No frames needed. Inspiring. Relatively new to your channel and loving it. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Safe travels.
Your videos are really top notch!
Beautiful shots. Man the boat looks good.
"Stand by to recover sea boat astern" ,, " Roger recover sea boat astern"
Ace loved that video great action shots of getting the dinghy back to the boat. Never seen that done with a yacht before, only on Royal Navy warships. Living the dream.
Norway - one of my favourite places on earth. So good to see you venturing there.
Like I said in other opportunity every video is a poem, wonderful edited! thank you !!!
Oh, yes, and I do appreciate the drone photography too!
It gives a wonderful perspective of the layout and content of your location(s).
What a fun "Step!" The town was adorable as were your comments about it. I'm not a museum person in general but the oil museum was incredible. I would've never guessed what was under the tiny? mass on top of the water as you mentioned however, it does make sense once one thinks about it. Also loved the Coco/Uma boat vid. I love seeig videos of our boat under sail. Great job!!! Can't wait until next week to see what adventure lies ahead. Enjoy yourselves.
Wonderful museum tour. Your meal by the water looked so yummy!! Thanks guys.
Your Audio is always very very good, think the best of all Sailingchanels 👍🏻
Absolutely love your channel and both of you as well, and videos like this keep me coming back. I’ll be sad for the day when I finally catch up and have to wait an entire week for another installment. Thanks for so many beautiful, fun, inspiring and informative videos. Great music, scenery, history and videography. Love you guys!
Bloody brilliant vlog, my dears!
All love and best,Claire and Sally the older Goldie, Berlin 😘😘
Oh man, I was in Norway a few years ago, on a large merchant ship that just BARELY squeezed into one of those fjords. It was one the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to, only problem was the alcohol was expensive as hell.
Having been in the oil industry for quite a few years, I've been to Stavanger multiple times. It's a fun, EXPENSIVE, city. The oil museum is really good! Enjoy!
Every time I see places like that I think of how the Vikings must have lived. Such great scenery and excellent footage. Thanks for sharing 😊👍🏽
A library in the phone box. So cool!
Yeah so cool
First off, I love you guys. But have you seen any of those vids of ppl falling off their boats n the boat does circles for hrs while they all just look n wonder how to get their boat back? That was all I could think of watching kika stear with her foot with no safty cord. Be safe guys n keep up the good work!
This IMHO, is one of your best videos, l love to visit these little towns/cities. You show a unique ability to make the viewers feel like they're there with you, the filming and recording of the local folk singer was a great idea, as a young man in the early sixties, l too played a guitar and sang a few folk songs on a street corner. The museum tour was very informative and also well done. The oil industry has and still does provide a great deal of products and energy to improve all our lives and l appreciate you viewing its history with an open mind, (no preaching from atop a soap box).
I am sure one day, thanks to folks like you, a better and sustainable source of energy will be found, when it is, we will slowly begin the transformation to using it and phasing out the "old way", (thanks for that). Fair winds and safe travels.
@15:42 you guys clearly learned this from the Royal Navy during your time on that landing vessel!
You can also use a piece of pvc pipe to extend the handle of your outboard motor by 2-4 feet so you can steer it from further forward on the dingy.
The BEST sailing channel. I love you guys. Great videos & thank you.
I loved this little movie, so many entertaining aspects. The oil museum was surprised really interesting with all the detailed machinery. I also enjoyed the street musician. Maybe my favorite though was the footage of uma sailing against Norwegian blue sky and also Kika’s seemingingly effortless athleticism jumping aboard Uma from the dinghy while sailing. I admire both of you, young and strong and so smart. I like the transformation over the years, watching how you carefully design everything to improve your life aboard. Thank you for sharing your story.
What an incredible guitarist!👏👍🏻
Once again absolutely awesome footage, editing..... Your the best!!!!🙏😍😍😍
You guys are my favorites! Keep having fun and enjoying each other!
Brian McIntyre I agree totally Their oneness and vibrancy and their joy at being at sea discovering new
lands and it's people is so satisfying for me personally. Thank you guys love your energy.
Lovely video - really, and narrative too. Here's an unsolicited seafaring insight - not because your dinghy recovery looked unsafe - but because there is a bit of an easier way and it might help you put a boat away to help yourselves or others in a less friendly sea...
A seafaring insight from how larger ships do boat (dinghy) retrieval, which makes things a bit safer, especially when there is a sea running.
Rig a boat rope or painter with two parts. The first is long enough to reach from the water level abaft the shrouds to the Sampson post through the bow fairlead. At the water level end, rig a splice or a ring which the dinghy painter can be passed through, or the dinghy operator can grab.
Now to keep the first part alongside and to stop it becoming entangled in the dinghy propellor, rig a second line from the ring through the midships cleat so that the ring is conveniently at grabbing height.
Now motor the dinghy into a track parallel to the vessel at about the same speed, before veering in. The hydrodynamic (Venturi) between the dinghy and the vessel pulls the boats together and locks them in, and the dinghy can then be secured to the boat rope.
The boat can be launched in the same way, but you need to give the dinghy a good shot of gas to get it to pull it away from the yacht and break the attraction due to the Venturi between the boats.
From a safety aspect the boat operator can then grab the shrouds or be clipped into a spare halliard or whatever and brought on board.
We are sooo impressed at the seamanship as Dan and Kiki soloed across the bay, and especially the docking underway. Radical chops, you two!!!
Just one word-Brilliant!!
Guys this episode was absolutely incredible!! Well done on the content, such a feel good video. You both are so down to earth. Thank you, keep it coming 🙏
