A little meteorology lesson. When the water is warmer than the air, you can get that layer of condensation (cloud/fog) in the air just above the surface. Very common above rivers especially in the cool morning air above lakes and rivers. Once the air warms up by the sun above the "dew point" then it burns off. Above the ground it is called "ground fog". Also very common along the California coast. You guys have spent a lot of time in cold water... welcome to the weather of warm waters. :-)
Inversely, during Winter, the morning mist forms on the icy St. Lawrence River (Québec, Canada) when the air is hotter than the water. Makes great pictures
Fun fact, this is partially responsible for the massive lake effect snow events in the great lakes. The lakes warm and cool very slowly due to how much water is in them. When cold airmasses move over the warmer lakes, this condensation gets pulled into the sky. When the clouds hit the colder land they drop all their moisture very quickly. Buffalo and Northern NY are especially famous for this because the narrow shape of lakes erie and ontario have a habit of funneling all of the moisture for the width of the lake into one hyper concentrated band
I tend to go off path myself. But when I’m a new city, first thing I do is a hop on and hop off tour if possible. Helps me figure out what I want to actually spend time on doing of the main attractions. Also, sometimes it just nice to not have to arrange everything on my own. Oh and pub walks and bar walks. Can’t resist those.
I love how you two just keep smiling and keeping me smiling every time that I tune you in. it is always a our joy to see you each time. Keep loving and enjoying each other and your friends.
Rock climbing looks like such an adventurous challenge! You guys make it look waaaay easier than I'm sure it truly is. Love the idea of caves and that you have shared your different experiences when it comes to that subject! And so sweet to celebrate your friends 5 years of climbing!
We see the fog on the water frequently at our dock on the mid Hudson river. You tend to see it most in the early fall when the air is cool and water is still warm. It's great when you have a full moon.
Love your travels. You 2 are such the Trekies of sailing. Sailing: the deep frontier. These are the voyages of the sailboat Uma ⛵. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no average tourist would consider going! All to film it and bless us average tourist. Best wishes! 🌍
Glad you enjoyed the cave and had good things to say about it even though touristic tours are not usually your "thing." Once I was your age and enjoyed the raw ocean. In addition I used a sextant and lots of dead reckoning, only won the "Rocks and Shoals" award once. Now given my age and disabilities I'm doing better than I deserve playing tourist. Loved your cave video!
You guys always find a way to make videos that are fun , entertaining and informational like learning about the local tourist caves and celebrating 5 years of climbing.
I was skipping past stories on instagram and thought I saw you guys in one of Teri's stories a few months ago. I wanted to ask if you were doing some sort of colab with epictv or something, but it's nice to see Teri and you guys hanging out and climbing together. Really enjoying the fact that you guys are climbing more. I get to enjoy content from 2 of my favourite hobbies in the same video. Feels like hitting the jackpot. Good stuff!
Great cave experience for this elder who has never been in one.= I noticed how so many, made little noise as in reverence of something'== The echoing soft music topped it for me. == thanks, Bruce.
I'm glad they changed their policy of No photography or filming. 10 years ago when we visited the caves I was almost court marshalled for trying to take a single picture. Perhaps I should go again ... :-)
The surface fog is present on some sections of the Erie Canal, especially in the spring and fall. It's got something to do with dew point, wind, and air/water temps.
I am always envious when I watch you unfurl the jib. If I unfurled mine that fast, I would often get a furling line override on the drum. Then it is locked up when I try to re-furl.
She’s right, the water is warmer than the air. It happens over ground too, some mornings when I go to feed the horses, the fog is covering everything from the ground up to about 4 ft and they just appear running through the fog from the pasture into the barn. It’s a bit scary sometimes because there’s a lot of them & they just appear out of nowhere…..
I would imagine it is the same reason fog forms - dew point, humidity and ambient temperature. Greek to me. "Lift the sails and shift the tales" - love it. I remember being taken water skiing by the locals after I moved to Key Biscayne in junior high - they told me to give a thumbs up once I was vertical - they would then hammer the throttle pulling me right out of my skis - it took me quite a while to realize I should LET GO OF THE SKI ROPE - a good time was had by all, especially the local boys.
We enjoyed your vids from Cala Magraner--one of our favorite anchorages on the East Coast. We've often watched the climbers, and the goats, on those cliffs. We also enjoyed seeing you go into Porto Cristo. I'm sure the big Sun Reef motor cat near the entrance is Rafa Nadal's. He has a big home in Porto Cristo and that's where he keeps his 80' cat. The Cueves del Drach have been about the same for at least 30 years--still a worthwhile visit. Hopefully you get to spend some time on Es Trenc, but not during the unpredictable weather seasons. Are you still in the Balearics, and if so, will you be around in May? We should be returning to our boat then and would enjoy a meet-up--perhaps in a nice anchorage.
As a kid, I visited the Speedwell cavern in England - boat tour in a cave, propelled by the guide pushing on the ceiling with his feet! The names of the pointy things, as he taught us, were "stalaCtite" on the Ceiling and "stalaGmite" on the Ground. See what he did there? Dan's "stalaGtite" is going to outrage all kinds of people. I hope he'll think of a proper penance!
Try the Blue Grotto , that is a nice cave where only 4 people go in a boat but one has to lie down when entering or leaving the cave with the sunshine into the water turns the water inside bright blue!
As a fresh water sailor in the Great Lakes this is very common in fall sailing and without GPS navigation sounding horns is the only way to find an inlet to the harbor with large break walls, scary with 10 feet of visibility
One more comment. There are sharks in the Med, around 40-50 species, some Great whites even! They aren’t common but around 100 attacks has been reported since the early 19-hundreds, especially in the Adriatics. There was sightings of shark on a Mallorcan beach around 5 years ago. Just saying…!😂
It’s called sea smoke…water temp is warmer than the air temp. We get it so dense here on the Great Lakes that you can’t see through it! Happens especially in the winter before the lake freezes.
0:23 I'm not a steamologist either, so a physicist will have to do lol Water, as Kika already said, stays warmer for longer than land, because it can hold on to thermal energy very well. The water now heats up a thin layer of air right above the surface. Since the water is comparatively warm, some water will evaporate into this thin layer. The air above land does not get heated from below, so as soon as the sun sets it will cool down. Cold air beeing more dense it tries to get as low as possible, slowly making its way to the sea. Here the cold "land"-air and the warm moist "sea"-air mix together. The cold air however can't hold on to water as well as warm air, so the water condensates, forming the steam just above the surface.
24:14 With an opening scene of mist and ending with caves and dragons I thought surely this dragon's name was Puff, Puff the Magic Dragon who as we know "lived by the sea... and frolicked in the autumn mist," and who in the end "sadly slipped into his cave." Puff would travel with his friend "on a boat with billowed sails." Back in the day, "Puff" had it's own meaning to a lot of people, and you guys during that rock climbing adventure it seems were trying real hard to get high! Ha, ha!
I went climbing for the first time a few days ago I did two 5.8s and one 5.9 but the other 5.9 I just couldn't do the climbers I was with said normally you don't just go climb a 5.9 for the first time but I did good lol
That is water vapor that forms when relatively colder air moves across relatively warmer water. The evaporating water has nowhere to go and condenses into a fog.
Your Genoa seems to be pretty beaten up on the foot. Just saying. 🤐😄 BTW, how is the solar panel going? And Kiika's face of joy and excitement, going out of the guided tour is priceless 🤣🤣🤣
I'm curious about the docking. What keeps the boat straight into the dock, and not hitting the neighboring boat? Does that line that Dan had have something to do with that, or do you use a stern anchor?
Sometimes there is a line from the dock back out to a mooring sinker. You just fetch that and follow it back behind the boat and fasten it. Often those are *really* dirty and sometimes a bit sharp from growth, so be a bit careful when you follow them back.
At least there was water below and you didn't scare the crap out of me this time rock climbing. Now evidently I'm the only one that doesn't understand what that antigravity scene was. It'll probably come to me in a day or so.
The young lady, if I heard correctly, said that there were no sharks in the Mediterranean… I must say that I was in the Mediterranean in the 80’s and I personally saw a 16’ Tiger Shark during a Swim Call. I was in the US Navy on a Carrier. There are Sharks in the Mediterranean in my opinion LOL!

When the dew point and the the temperature are the same fog appears

Buffalo and Northern NY are especially famous for this because the narrow shape of lakes erie and ontario have a habit of funneling all of the moisture for the width of the lake into one hyper concentrated band
Inversely, during winter in kanada, Grenadines makes better pictures
As full time sailors this is cool to learn about! We haven't seen this yet but I'm sure we will while traveling the world!

I do exactly the same thing. Saves time especially if you’re on a schedule.
Wonderful to hear; a classical piano and string quartet, from a boat in a cave.
Nothing special to add…. you guys are just GREAT! Thanks for taking us along . . .
aaaw... thank You for this one :) I almost forgot that I visited that cave, it was such a long time ago :) was nice to refresh that memory ;)
We often get «sjörök” in the mornings early autumn mornings in Sweden (when the water is still warm but the air is getting colder..)
Nice that you keep showing us beautiful new places. Even landlubbers get the urge to spend their holidays there themselves.
Sailing UMA always has great adventure with a story
On a family holiday about 50 years ago when I was about 8 years old we went to that cave. Brings back memories.
I love how you two just keep smiling and keeping me smiling every time that I tune you in. it is always a our joy to see you each time. Keep loving and enjoying each other and your friends.
So magical! Thanks guys for taking us along! ❤
I've done some raw, unspoiled " spelunking " in southern Missouri in my youth. The Experience is very Unique and Daunting. Big Hugs to you two 🤗 💛🌴🌞⛵️
Love episodes with sailing!
Rock climbing looks like such an adventurous challenge! You guys make it look waaaay easier than I'm sure it truly is. Love the idea of caves and that you have shared your different experiences when it comes to that subject! And so sweet to celebrate your friends 5 years of climbing!
Very common in some places of Mediterranean Sea
You two are the kind of awesome friends I always wished I had. :)
There is so much joy on Uma. Thank you for sharing.
We learn something new often on this channel. Thanks again.

nice episode !! lovely people ... lovely adventure
THNx for the nice time !:)
greetings from PL
Once again you guys hit the jackpot!
Beautiful docking!! You really have that down pat!
Love the rock climbing and the cave
There used to be boat tours of caves in Matlock UK not sure how far under ground it was but wonderful as did have lights.
Great episone. The first scene of the boat sailing in the cave was surreal and a bit spooky. Loved it!
Wow! Thanks for sharing..that was fabulous! Great experience..the climbing & the cave w/music…

Inspiring and uplifting to say the very least, AWESOME! Thanks your adventures are ours to enjoy.
Totally cool video, you two have some epic adventures.
I'm glad they changed their policy of No photography or filming. 10 years ago when we visited the caves I was almost court marshalled for trying to take a single picture. Perhaps I should go again ... :-)
you can film and take photos. you just have to do so without flash.
Visited the caves of Drach as a kid - really beautiful place - Mallorca as a whole is a great place to visit
Just love watching you guys.. such great content and escape-ism for us land-stuck people.
A nice echo in the end whistling. :)
Brilllllliant Uma - thanks for sharing 👍 love the dingy padsufing - will try soon (with an anchor beer)
Love it ❤ we did a sailing/climbing trip in 2020 and loved it
enjoyed this video. thanks forsharing.
Your adventuresome rock climbing is so cool! Great vid. But what really amazes me is how you pull a 5 balloon and candle out of your bag of tricks.
Really lovely people!Thanks!
This was a Great episode!
You make docking look so easy!
Good!! Sailing!! Sailing Uma!! Vlog!!
Ty! For the Majorca cave trip!
The surface fog is present on some sections of the Erie Canal, especially in the spring and fall. It's got something to do with dew point, wind, and air/water temps.
I am always envious when I watch you unfurl the jib. If I unfurled mine that fast, I would often get a furling line override on the drum. Then it is locked up when I try to re-furl.
Hey Dan, there ARE sharks in the Med, mainly basking sharks but near where I live (Tarragona) dangerous ones have been spotted over the years!
Aww guys you're too sweet! Thank you for the good times!
She’s right, the water is warmer than the air. It happens over ground too, some mornings when I go to feed the horses, the fog is covering everything from the ground up to about 4 ft and they just appear running through the fog from the pasture into the barn. It’s a bit scary sometimes because there’s a lot of them & they just appear out of nowhere…..
I have ice skated on an indoor rink early in the morning when it was foggy on the ice. It was magical to skate in.
I would imagine it is the same reason fog forms - dew point, humidity and ambient temperature.
Greek to me.
"Lift the sails and shift the tales" - love it.
I remember being taken water skiing by the locals after I moved to Key Biscayne in junior high - they told me to give a thumbs up once I was vertical - they would then hammer the throttle pulling me right out of my skis - it took me quite a while to realize I should LET GO OF THE SKI ROPE - a good time was had by all, especially the local boys.

Have you guys checked out the toroidal propellers?
They are supposed to be much more efficient than a standard prop.
Another awesome episode!

Thanks
It looks like a great place to see Kiika working out on the silks. It's been awhile, too long actually, to forgo such beauty
That was fun, thank you!
I like the story time at the end of the episode. Will you have "Kika's Storytime" again? Are you all going to see Jordan's and Dez's baby?
Very nice episode 👏🙏
Great adventures....stay safe...
That’ll be cosy!😊

You had 1300 views in the 12 minutes before I stumbled on your new vid. Nice job!
That Looked FUN
Menorca (Minorca) seems like you two had a lot of fun and made some really cool memories, and isn't that is what life about? I'd say so.
Just in case you are thinking of going there it is actually the island of Mallorca(Majorca) although Menorca is very close by.🙂
Consider this my comment for the benefit of the algorithm. btw, well done you two.
@ 9:33 in the video I think that large hole is where Chris Sharma took all those folks on “the climb” maybe?
You should add the route names.
terri from the infamous alex megos interview!
Thanks.

That was a fun watch.
Happy climbing anniversary to the nice spider girl.
Wow what a beautiful opinion sail
Great episode :-)!
Fog that forms over water is called sea fog, forming when when warm, moist air flows over relatively colder waters.
Mediterranean ocean :) good one :)
We need something for everybody in this world.
You have sailed in Norway in the winter but not seen it before? We have it all the time, near rivers there are large banks of fog because of it :-)
Damn. Climbing skills!!!!

Smoke on the water...🎵🎶
Fun times!
Definitely need an audio adventure book with kika 23:56 now.
raise the sails and dunk the rails...
That marina facility was so nice. How do you pay for the Med tieup. What a beautiful place to be.
I went climbing for the first time a few days ago I did two 5.8s and one 5.9 but the other 5.9 I just couldn't do the climbers I was with said normally you don't just go climb a 5.9 for the first time but I did good lol
That is water vapor that forms when relatively colder air moves across relatively warmer water. The evaporating water has nowhere to go and condenses into a fog.
Now we have two competing explanations: warm water, colder air; colder water, warm air. I'm going with the former.
@@rogerstone3068 Colder water, warmer air? No...
wierd had reversy film on as you hung upside down lmao, Karma
ah how i miss the coffee house at the harbour.
cuevas del drach is overrated imho. You have to walk the Giant Ice Cave in Austria 😄
It's almost too scary to see what the last moment of a failed free solo on land would be like.
Your Genoa seems to be pretty beaten up on the foot. Just saying. 🤐😄
BTW, how is the solar panel going?
And Kiika's face of joy and excitement, going out of the guided tour is priceless 🤣🤣🤣
Haha yea. Wear and tear eventually happens when you sail alot. They are currently working on the 2nd version for the solar panel.
