For anyone interested in what the guy as playing on the classical acoustic guitar, it is part of the guitar works of Heitor Villa-Lobos, a Brazilian classical composer. Worth listening to more.
I knew it sounded familiar!
What a fabulous episode! Loved the way you integrated the street music in your soundtrack. I feel proud to see my country through your eyes. I wish I could have met you there. Wonderful. Touching.
The music played on this video was so complimentary to your visit to Porto. If you closed your eyes and just listen you are in Portugal. A very touching moment you found there.
Found your channel in the first weeks of lockdown, was on the Extremely vulnerable list so had a stay at home order for 18 months, not only did Dan's technical wizardry and Kika's charm keep me sane it was a delight that filled my days with binge escapism. Have to confess I am rather besotted with your obvious love for each other, I feel privileged to witness and share your adventures. Long may they continue. 💜
Well said! Loved your post.
You and the rest of us
It's lovely isn't it. Hope you're OK.
Welcome to Portugal!!
Finally, as a portuguese follower, I've been waiting forever for you to get here!!!
I hope you had fun with us, smoth sailing!! 😍😍
eu tambem acompanho ahahah
Brasileiro aqui
@@leandroguerra4158 eu tambem ja acompanho a algum tempo
Another fantastic tour. But a special kudos to Kika on the editing. The cuts back and forth with the music was flawless.
The guitarist playing Villa-Lobos first prelude : a must ! ❤❤❤
Actualy he's playing a song writing by Lenini, a brazilian writer. An the singer is Brazilian too
@@leandroguerra4158 I'm talking about the player at 8' 36" 🙂
I was thinking your tour of the wine museum needed some cheese to go with it - thankfully Kika brought that right at the end :)
One of the few sailing channels that actually sail the world.
The rabelo boat is a traditional Portuguese wooden cargo boat that was used for centuries to transport people and goods along the Douro River. It is flat-bottomed, with a shallow draught, which was necessary to navigate the often shallow fast-flowing waters of the upper Douro.
The name rabelo means 'little tail', on account of the long timber projection from the rear of the boat which is used to steer the vessel. Although not in commercial use anymore, these vessels may still be seen, belonging to port wine companies, along the river in Porto and Gaia.
This dude singing is brazilian and this music is the most beautiful music of Lenine a famous brazilian songwriter called Paciência😍
The problem you have with the headsail jaming from time to time is that the knot of the halyard, which attaches the halyard to the cylinder of the headsail at the top of the mast gets caught sometimes and thus not being smooth to unroll . I had this problem and it was solved by changing the angle of the halyard at the top of the mast.. this is done with a kind of jib lead ,which is a short tube that acts like a guide being fastened to the mast at the top. I don't know if I have been able to explain myself but I would like to send you a photo and you can see exactly what to do. It just took 20 minutes .If you ever come to Alicante spain, it would be a pleasure meeting you. I have a Oceanis 38.1 in the , Real Club de Regatas of Alicante. Next year the Volo race will be starting there! keep it up you wonderful couple!
You guys amaze me with your skills, using the local music in your video and it sounding flawless. You’re a step above the rest , thank you for the hard work and the time to please us viewer’s. ❤
Your is possessive.
Your cat, your car, your cup.
You're is a contraction of the two words you and are.
When in doubt,
Spell it out, right? ⚘
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 thanks, lol..
@@sailingattitude
Love your name, and you're welcome from somewhere near Seattle. 🙏❤🙏
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 👍🏼Nova Scotia says hi 😊
The guitar player coupled with the gorgeous visuals of such an old world city hit me with such a visceral reaction… keep the beauty coming guys!
Look, I am always aware of the fact that the production quality of your video's is among the best of the channels I regularly visit on YT. I know that, because every episode is entertaining, informative, fun and enjoyable to watch. In a way, almost like coming home. Half of that is because of the content (what you do, how you do it and your personalities while experiencing that), but the other half is due to the way it is presented. Somehow this episode made me appreciate that production quality even more than other times... the shots, the editing, the music, the choices you made about what and how to show it in which order... Suddenly I was more aware than other times what an amazingly professional level you have reached throughout the years. And so I felt I had to point this out to you, to compliment you both (but I feel maybe Kika a bit more, no offense Dan). Keep this up, you are among my favorite things to watch on any medium. Much love from the Netherlands!
The old fashioned barrels on the barges are very traditional. With a sailing ship from the 14’th, 15’th, 16’th’ 17’th century was it was rated for tonnage it wasn’t the tons the ship weighed, or displaced, or even the weight the ship could carry. The tons listed were how many tuns of wine the ship could carry. A tun is 252 gallons of wine and would weight a long ton, which is heavier then the more commonly used short ton.
I love the fact you're never stuck in hard squall or storms and that you've taken the longest shortest route to cross the ocean. It's beautiful how comfortable it must be on your boat.
This was a fun episode that simply made me smile. Another great Sailing Uma production. Thanks for sharing. Cheers 🍷
That classical guitarist was really GOOD. I hope you came to a suitable arrangement, to use his music. Love Portugal; it's a really genuine, real country.
Thank You for visiting my country and portraying it so well. You will surely be loved around here.
Your tour of Porto was wonderful. If you stop in Lisbon be sure you go to a Fado bar. Mariza and Carminho are the best Fado singers in Portugal; but Amalia is a part of Portuguese culture! Look forward to more adventures!
FINALLY, you guys get to properly geek-out! It only took eight years to get to Continental Europe, but now you can spend eight years exploring all of it. As beautiful as the Arctic was (and it was stunning) seeing these views makes my heart melt! You'll have to visit the country of Georgia, this is where wine was first produced, and they still use the ancient production process using Qvevri, which are huge earthenware vessels. If, by chance, you guys don't really like Vino Porto, you can use this wine in making sauces like for a good ragù. ¡Es la bomba! This was an absolutely gorgeous video, loved the overdubbing with the music of the street performers!
As a former reenactor for the War of 1812 portraying a British officer I was going to say you HAD TO do a port tasting. Port was a regular item we enjoyed at events.
Well done so many towns in Portugal and Spain - for not allowing high rise modern buildings to spoil the skyline - proper town planning wih teeth.
Love you UMA. Keep on keeping on.
As a Portuguese follower, I am proud that you have visited our country. I hope you like it and have fun. Take the opportunity to fill up the boat with red wine, our country prodos of the best wines in the world. Hope you had fun with us!
Boas proas!
I Wish we could have stayed longer.
Wow - I have seen so many places, and things thanks to your films. Thanks again. Big shout to the musicians in this Step too.
Wouldn't it be great to have an album of that singer in the park. That's soothing stuff.
The song in the video is called Paciência by the Brazilian singer Lenine, in fact the guy in the square is singing Brazilian Portuguese. That is nice. Porto is very beautiful.
This is in my top 5 favorite episodes of yours. This was AMAZING!!!! Portugal is so beautiful!!!!!! The fountains, the architecture, the sultry singer and his unique guitar, and the smoothest wipe out by a very attractive skateboarder I have ever seen!!! Great job Dan and Kika!!!!!!
Dan and Kiki, you did this episode up really good. Wonderful country in Europe and enjoyed the scenery, really. Like your background sound effects and music, really adds to the adventure. I've always liked history and sailing too. Well thanks you sweet couple and look forward to seeing you again, bon voyage.
Just discovered you. My teens and I are about to watch every episode. We are absolute beginners, so much to learn.
Porto cannot be explained, it is felt; and you felt it! Congratulations.
That's a fun episode. Portugal is beautiful. I hope you also visit Lisbon.
Why? Lisbon is the worst place in Portugal! Go anywhere else;-)
Thanks for brightening my Saturday morning from sunny south Florida
Loved how you used the music from the buskers throughout this episode….
You two bring a smile to the worst of days. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks for a wonderful video. The view from the tower reminds me of "La Sacrada Famiglia" in Barcelona, the steps in the tower reminded me of Notre Dame in Paris and the wine museum reminded me of the wine cave near Narbonne in southern France. Thanks for the memories and enlightening me to your travels. I like to follow you using Google Earth which adds a new dimension for me. I came for the sailing but have stayed for the tours.
Seeing all the portuguese commenting is really nice. Welcome to Portugal :)
Nice shot with the guitar player. So many colors in the city!
I like that you had Brazilian music to represent Portugal, but better yet, that the Portuguese in the comments have no problem with it. We have a saying in Portuguese that says that your language is your actual country. Much love to our Portuguese countrymen and to you both.
I can't think of any travel program that gives me the pleasure and sense of actually being where you are, it matters not sea or land.
Exploration, adventure, burnout, recharge, juvenate, .... then back to origin, more creative ideas coming up. Go Go Go UMA.
Yippee🎉❤🎉 I’m totally addicted to you guys! Late last night, my mind needed environmentally sensitive global stimulation with a side order of academia doused in beauty and laughter! You’re my weekend refresher! 🥂 Thank you! 👩🏽🏫
Thank you, Dan and Kika, for this wonderful photo of my country. I've been following you for years and couldn't ask for a better episode.
Enjoy the visit. It's a great pleasure to have you here.
Very fun episode! Amazing museum in Porto! WOW!!
So much of Europe is so stunning. And your phenomenal storytelling and editing does a wonderful job of conveying the experience. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. ❤️❤️❤️
I suffered something similar with my furler, started to jam the halyard above the swivel. The solution for me was putting a kind of detour (semicircle rounded stainless stell in front of the mast) between the exit of the halyard at the top of the mast, and the tip of the halyard that goes to the shivel. This makes the halyard to be in a broader angle in relation to forestay and avoids the jam. Great videos as always!! Fianle get to your ariginal destination... haha
Can’t wait for you guys to experience Greece and Turkey ,make sure you do the inland sea as well as sailing around the Peloponnese .
hey guys , been following you for a while now. cool to see you visiting portugal and my city.
Furler issue: my rigger just diagnosed this same issue for me and his fix is to add a short dynema pennant between the jib halyard and the swivel to correct the angle. The halyard cannot run parallel to the headsstay when it connects to the swivel. This promotes fouling. The pennant should increase the angle from parallel (call parallel 0 degrees) to more like 20-30 degrees. As my rigger explained this wider angle "holds" the swivel in place and does not encourage/allow wraps or binding. I hope you had the chance to explore the Duro Valley wine region. You will never go to Napa Valley again. It is so beautiful and so innocent for a major wine region (whites and reds not just Port)
Perfect, you guys are cruising the Meds. I'm planning of living on a boat in the Meds in a couple of years, your videos are so good and going to give me a lot of tips about the Meds. Cheers from Sweden ;-)
Great post my friends. 🌞🌴⛵️
We wanted to visit Portugal back in the start of 2020 but thanks to Covid, we could not leave Australia so I am jealous of you managing to get there!
The restaurant at the top of the gondola serves flights of port 10,20,30 & 40 year old with a wonderful view of the river and waterfront
thank you, UMA crew, your view of Porto was brilliant. I am waiting for other cities on the coast of Portugal (Aveiro; Nazare; Lisbon, Setubal etc. You are sailing on the most beautiful coast of Europe.
Love it to see Porto again just a correction all the wine places are in Vila Nova de Gaia on the south side of the Douro river the city where my baby sister was born
I was literally 300 feet from your boat in a Viking river cruise where the other boat is docked.
Thanks it has always been one for the bucket list.
I wouldn't be the least bit upset if this turned into "Sailing Architecture Tour" for a while :)
Guys. Chillax. You doing a round the world sailing or whatever. If the place closes, go back the next day way earlier.
With my friends sailing in France on the sailboat Cygnus. They had the same problem with their jib, due to wear on the swivel bearing at the top. What I learned from them, you can correct it by putting tension on the halyard to correct the angle using a commonly sold part (marina store) or add a line to keep some downward pressure on the swivel, so the bearing doesn’t bind. Love your channel, quality vids and adventures. 😌
Bemvindos a Portugal!
Welcome!! When you come to the med. and are in Cartagena or alicante i would love to Show you the area 🤗
really enjoyed this video and the integration of the street music into everything
Happy to host you in Tunisia! We’re living here for a few years in Sidi Bou Said but also just brought our sailboat across from the south of France. Now docked in Gammarth. If you need advice or could use a place on land please just shout out.
Send us an email :)
Have you ever noticed, that the first view on top of a tower you want to get, is looking as straight downwards you are able to and try to figure out, how high you actual are? It's funny. 😀
My last vacation before the pandemic was to Portugal and especially Douro.
Great Scott! You’ve ditched the Orcas of Biscay and made it to the next level. Had no doubts you‘d survive 😅
Porto is an amazing city, it is he city that names the country and you can feel an old urbanity in the air. It has been an established city since Rome. It is still my favourite Portuguese city (and I am from Lisbon).
Lisboa or Aporto ? Too difficult to choose !
@@JeanPhilippeVAY Lisboa
So fun to sail around the world from the safety of my home via TV with the woodstove glowing.
Lucky lucky, the both of you.
Thank you for sharing
Back to catch up, love Porto and Port but maybe had a little too much sometimes and boy the hangover from hell. Cheers guys. Andy UK
Loved this episode!
UMA is also the enduring term for Grandma in German. Little kids call their grandma "Uma", Grandma calls the child "Mine Kline", or little one. I always wondered why you named your boat Grandma. now I finally know.... ha!
One thing I love about Portugal is their architecture. They were also conquered by the Moors like southern Spain. Their Architecture and culture is a beautiful mix of Moorish and European. They still design that way today. and their culture and ancestry is a beautiful mix of both. At the time the Moors first came, Europe was still using Roman Numerals. Higher Mathematics was all but impossible. The Moors had Arabic Numerals 12345...... this made higher mathematics practical. Europe and most of the world still use Arabic Numerals today, though most Arab script dropped them, Hence, Spain and Portugal became the centers in Europe in the middle ages for Science and Universities. They were the first to do real modern scientific navigation. Cheers!
I have to dissagree on the German term Uma for grandmother. It is actually Oma and grandfather is Opa. How do I know? Well I‘m German.
I have been to Lisbon several times and I loved every moment we were there.
Thank you for sharing the musicians, such a treat!
Love it when you feature the various cities.
Maybe you should try packing the upper jib swivel with some grease? the bearings sounded dry when you hand rotated it.
Where did you guys disappear ? Good to see you back.
Hey you two, this step looks like a dream! A dream realized maybe? I hope you love it as much as it looks!
I'm a wine enthusiast, The more wine I drink the more enthusiastic I get!! Stay Safe & Fair Wines!!🥂
Guys, have a look at the nylon sleeve over the wire and inside the furling foil at the top of the forestay. It could be damaged, binding the foil on the wire.
Dan + Kika + Uma & Coco = Good time 🇨🇦 🇭🇹 🇵🇹 ☺️
Good grief, what a beautiful place that city is.
Enjoying your cruise, as our boat is having work done. We have had sticking furling gear, in the end change of ball bearing dimensions was our problem. Just like your symptoms sticking every now and then came, what I call the lock. It would not move. You look as if you have everything sorted. Good cruising. S and P
Lucky you,the food alone,in Portugal and Spain,is incredible.
So beautiful Portugal and the story of the name UMA. Great episode.
Hey guys,
We've bin following you two from the start and realy like every episode. Especially when you show us how beautiful your surroundings is.. are..😅. Then I remembered your video true the Scottish canal, I watch it al couple of times, so many beautiful shots and clips. Thats when I got the idea of a video compilation of just all of those beautiful shots and clips. Is a clip possible with just those shots and cilps? Maby only those of your last year. With red silk acrobatics and songs from your playlist. And Uma in a leading role. Thanks for the journey and being the lovely and beautiful people that you are. Gr Bas
Loved the Brazilian Street music 🎶... charming!...
Welcome to portugal 🇵🇹
Thank you
Wonderful Porto, wonderful Portugal. Brought some very very great memories back, thank you for this...... As always, love you two!🤗🥰
Brilllllliant Uma - Porto looks classic
Stunning city Porto.
Old, classic. messy, new, stylish all put together in one city.
We just missed you, we were in Porto last week. very cool city. You guys gave a great taste of the city. Great video.
Jib HALYARD,,leave it loose😊 I had to learn the hard way. 2inches if that’s not good add more. Wish y’all the best of weather.Stay safe. Much love.
What a wonderful singer, the music was awesome. I hope you bought some Port.
Terrific tour! And it's great to see you not having to bundle up against the cold ;) ... as I think about winter not far off here on the Chesapeake.
Cool museums and sailing, the perfect combination. Thank you.
Loving how immersed an experience you found for yourselves! Cheers! (Miss you saying Cheers at the end of the videos!)
Agree. Cheers, the fog horn and some weird guy whistling are UMA trademarks. Take 'em away and...... OH yeah, don't forget the bathtub sized wine glass. :-) Kika's slowing down..... CHEERs ya'll !!!!
