As a senior citizen, I look at you two and have renewed faith the world will be in good hands when I leave.
William, well said. I'm an old fella myself and I have thought the same thing many times about these wonderful caring, humble young people.
If your generation don’t blow it up
@@DoctorProperty It's not the young people we have to worry about; it's the octogenarians in congress and the White House that are threatening to send us into WWIII.
I agree William, they are great. But they are top 3%-ers. It's the other 97 percent I worry about. Lol. Great video. Fascinating. I don't know that I would ever go there, so thanks!
How so? The population is nearly 8 BILLION humans. Over 3x what is sustainable on Earth. Do the exponential math. Humans have destroyed nearly everything they've touched!
I have to tell you guys…it was a SINCERE pleasure to wake up to some cool shit like this as opposed to the craziness we are waking up to every day right now so thanks!!
^this
You choose what to wake up to and don't believe everything the box tells you
@@sumthinfresh I don’t trust ANYTHING the box tells me…that’s the problem! Cheers!
Here, here!
Your photography and editing continues to astound me. Every episode is a feast for the eyes. You guys are sailing the world WITHOUT A CREDIT CARD!? Please clarify! You have just risen to a new level of hero for me.
We don’t believe in personal debt. CC are debt, so we don’t have them. We have bank card/ debit cards of course. Money is all digital these days anyway. But debt is slavery, so we’ve opted out before buying the boat.
@@SailingUma Just so you know you can get a Secured credit card just to have for situations like you want to rent a car. I don't believe in having credit cards either, but I like a secured one, and then I just make sure I pay it off as soon as I buy something on it so I don't incur any interest. I find traveling with a credit card easier, but don't want the debt. I literally put something on the card and by the end of the day pay the card off.
@@RiverWoods111 Yes. A "secured credit card" isn't really debt, because the card is secured by you placing your cash into the card account beforehand. This wouldn't make much sense, except that you can use the card for those instances when they insist that you have a credit card.
@@SailingUma AMEN!!!! My wife and I ditched all our credit cards over a decade ago and have never wanted another one.
Yes I gave up all my credit cards 10 years ago and my bank account has grown tremendously!!
Best thing about road trips..the music
You’ve long been some of the best filmmakers in this genre…they just keep getting better! Due in great part, surely, to your fabulous relationship that makes for epically successful collaboration. So inspiring! 💕
While I recognize that being “UA-camrs” is part passion, part profession, you’ve managed to maintain an authentic joy.
Your affection for each other, and the spirit of adventure still shines through. 😊
Good lord Ken, your comment is going to get me crying. Well said. 🙂
I know you probably won't read this but I am planning on getting a shirt from you please enjoy your time. I am so jealous of you and maybe you could hit a little bit about the food where you are at ... But any way take care.
Yacht ⛵️ + Nat Geo ⛰ + Extreme Adventure 🔥 + A sprinkling of love 💖 = “Sailing Uma on UA-cam” 🤙
At a time when the world is going crazy, you guys fill me with hope and optimism. I can shut out the pain and suffering and watching you two so at peace with nature and each other is wonderful. Please keep doing what you are doing because it’s making an 80+ plus pensioner forget the misery and embrace your youthful exuberance. Spot on. Take care and stay forever in love xx.
So glad you guys finally got to go springing. It's one of my favorite things to do anywhere I go that has geothermal activity. And Dan is right, Kika. When the mist catches your hair, it's wonderful. It looks like a crown of diamonds. 🤩
I find myself lovong life when you upload. So grateful to be alive, it only means I have to explore such places
The video work was particularly good this episode especially the shot from above the waterfall!!
✨You two are the most adorable people in the world . I have enjoyed your videos for a couple of years. Thank you for a beautiful adventure❣️✨
Yup, that was extraordinary. The both of you are masters of this medium and awesome story tellers / narrators. Thank you.
I started watching years ago when you were building up and fixing Uma for this trip. It's been so cool watching you take this journey. You have done a great job bringing us along with you. From good explanations, that are not patronizing, to amazing photography and videography. Thank you for all of that. You also do a good job of not being repetitive while sticking to the core of why we follow you. I have no idea how you manage that but it's been a joy.
Yeah. So well done.
What an a mazing hot spring!Thanks for putting in a good word for amazing Iceland, Kika. What you said is true. You guys have been spoiled the past year or so. And I'm so glad you have been and thst you took us with you. Bless you.
I have been following you both for a few years now and i still look forward to your next offering. I have watched the love grow between you two and between those like me that see a little bit of themselves in the things you do. Sale on till dawn, then let that smile shine brightly in the morning sun.
Your choice of music is always perfect.
Wonderful photography, and so great to see you both having fun . Hard to get ones head around a hot stream though !
This episode was just what the doctor ordered. Loved every minute of it, especially the scenery and singing at the end. Thanks for sharing.😎
When I went to Iceland in 2016 my car rental was more than the airfare. It was my first solo trip abroad, and for me, the most amazing adventure I had ever experienced. I can only imagine all you have experienced sailing the world, and well deserved for your great preparation and expertise . I can understand how for you, might seem almost anticlimactic, for many would be the trip of a lifetime. I am glad that you finally found your sweet spot in Iceland, but for me, every moment was magical.
I haven't watched this step yet but just got a message from my brother that your latest video was at this particular hot spring. So happy you found this place. When we were in Iceland a few years ago driving around, I stumbled upon it searching google maps for a cafe. The cafe by the parking lot was closed but the hike and hot spring was well worth the diversion. :)
Both of you are AMAZING. Funny, carefree and brave! Have watched 299 of your episodes and can't wait for the next one. Bravo.
No question my favorite travel show, pure delight, heartwarming and uplifting.
Love you guy's spontaneity. I am a new follower but will be going back and viewing older episodes. Safe sailing 🙏🕊
Be carefull ..it’s more addictive than h
Dear Angelique, take your time and start binge watch up from step #1. I promise, it's worth.
Prepare to be astounded in so many ways. I follow a few sailing channels but I always have to take a breath before I watch these two wonderful people. Be sure to watch their full story
Loved the singing at the end! Thanks for the Icelandic tour… It’s on our list of places to visit and you’ve helped us plan things out better. Cheers!
I'm so glad you finally found your perfect spot. My favorite shot of this video was behind the waterfall, lovely!
Beautiful photography and million dollar smiles as you share an experience with someone you love.
Awesome scenery. Awesome videography. Thanks for letting us go with you on your adventures.
It's crazy how much energy it would take to keep flowing water that warm.
I love your channel. You guys are truly talented cinematographers and inspirational adventurers and I'm so grateful that you share some of those amazing adventures with us. One thing that just surprised me after all this time, is that you guys do not have a credit card for emergency purposes or travel perks. No judgement here, I watch several travel and sailing channels and was just surprised. Looking forward to your next video.-- Jessica from Florida🌅
Hi Dan and Kika, my wife and I binge watched the shit out of your adventure, it took us a few episodes a day and we enjoyed every moment. We are up to date and look forward to every Friday night when we can sit down with the kids and have you take us on an adventure, to a place that is barely touched, my kids loved the polar bear episode. And also love the word shit. Your creativity and cinematography is amazing and aw inspiring. Thank you for taking us to far off lands and on ocean adventures. Cheers 🍻
Well...shit.
So much fun and of course Dan would start moving the rocks and building up the dam. 🤣🤣 Such a great episode.
Great trip. How kind of Ole (?) to lend you his car. Uma clearly attracts the best people.
I am amazed that you travel the world without a credit card. I wouldn't have thought that possible. However, you seem to manage very well without one!
Once again, you are doing for Icelandic tourism what you did for Norway. Your epic drone footage, brilliant editing and videography are second to none. I’m surprised that you aren’t sponsored by the Tourism board of Iceland. I’m so glad that Dan finally found his hot springs. Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures. 🙏🇨🇦
After I subscribed I had to buy a couch to watch all your videos! THANK YOU for the amazing footage.
Couldn't ask for a better viewing of you and nature around you, on this cold rainy, snowy day in Annapolis. Listening to you sing was a blast! Thank you and be well!
Epic in every way. Thanks
Amazing environments for amazing two people that share their lives with us
Just brilliant videoing, drone, scripting and editing again!! Thanks guys for your angle on Iceland!!
Loved the shot at 15:00 exactly: Kika the river goddess. Glad you finally found somewhere that matched expectations.
man, that place like out of some strange movie , waterfalls within waterfalls ,,and steam baths love it thanks for showing me this place ...
This channel is so calming to me. I love watching your vids.
Thank you for the black beaches, the stunning waterfalls, the illuminated green, the hunt for the hot spring, AND the car karaoke!
Thanks for sharing some of the nice spots I miss so much from Iceland.
Compare to many of the other channels on my watch-list you two are the ones that keep keeping the thankfullness and joy of ’being on the road’ at a good level. Keep it up!
Eevery thing you do is splendid, am just lost of words, your selection of stoots and stitching them together is so perfect that can't stop watching over and over again, thats how good it is, thank you for every thing 😊
Great to see Dan got his dream :) And yet more beautiful Iceland.
Stunningly great filming. Shows the beauty of Iceland with full credit. Good fun so thanks for this.
Great video :-)! Fantastically edited as always!
drone+music+big smiles+editing = absolutely the BEST!!...brrrr how are you staying warm in SV Uma these days?!
I remember bathing in the cold creek above my house as a kid every summer hoping the water would some day be warm. A creek with hot water was my childhood dream.
You are so fortunate to be out of Haiti and exploring the world. Keep looking ahead and never look back.
Excellent!! The caraoke was a great addition 🤣
18:42 I would say car singing even beats shower singing ;-)
So happy you finally found some hot springs to enjoy. You just never give up, I love it. Thanks for the adventure.
You two set the standard for excellent you tube video. Always perfect. Thanks so much for sharing Iceland, and every where else with all of us. Top Notch!
Create, Inspire, Elevate! From the center of my being.... Thank you for your gifts to the world.
OMG, the last 2mins. I could have an episode just with that much joy and fun! You guys are the best!
Glad to see you finally having fun in Iceland 🇮🇸.
Wow! Waterfalls + drone = friggin awesome! What fun!
Looks great, and a little product placement for Alexis and A2. Nice work!
Sitting here only 13 minutes in and just realized I have been ear to ear smiling for this whole video! To the point that my jaws are a little sore from the smiling! Now that is my idea of a great video! By the way, immediately before I started this video, I took something for a migraine, so it's not like I showed up to the video in a great fantastic mood. The video had me kind of forget about my migraine also. Y'all rock!
As a fellow Canadian from the West Coast I have to say I love you guys, and you are living my dream. Events stopped us from sailing our dream. I'm so glad you re able to sail yours!!
The beginning of this video took me down memory lane when my then GF now wife rented a camper van and traveled around the ring road in Iceland for a little over a week back in summer 2018, your first waterfall was our first stop on Day 2 (our first full day) and the hot springs (the water was definitely deeper in 2018) was our last day before we got back to Reykjavík.
Loooove this episode. So many stunning views and the scenery is BEAUTIFUL
Just beautiful as always,,,,, Gald y'all found a warm steam to relax in peace.
I really enjoyed this video; it brought back very good memories of our trip to Iceland in 2014 - we did the same "waterfalls" walk. Good to see that they are still flowing as well as when we were there.
Looking straight up at falls in canyon was awesome thank you for yet another Iceland experience
I have been at this waterfall and behind it, 8 years ago...enjoy your freedom and stay happy !
Yes, I think it's *EVERY* video, you two, go to some brilliant locations, but what makes these locations the best videos, here on UA-cam is you two!!!
Thanks for the recommendation. We visited yesterday and it lived up to our expectations and more
love the closure and love the reflection. Getting to remote places by boot indeed creates a different reality :). Great video both, loved it!
Awesome episode! Glad Dan finally got his hot springs! And y’all’s car singing is epic!
Loved it! As a landscape photographer I've always wanted to go to Iceland.
I consider you guys to be travelers, not tourists ;o)
Another great episode, thanks!
Thanks for keeping it different and sooo interesting.
Absolutely stunning footage and video editing. Thank you for sharing your journey together. A beautiful step💙
Fabulous installment from Iceland. Really well done, guys. You are original and masters of the genre. Enjoyed your singing at the end - but don't quit your day job!
I love, love you found a hot spring stream! Great episode and thanks for taking us along!
You found our pocket in the hot stream. It took us hours over several days to dig out that "natural" hole in the stream bed. Glad you enjoyed it. But now everyone. knows.
The waterfalls and scenery in this one are stunning! Thanks for the video!
You two are one of my favorite couples to watch. I love your adventures. Hopefully I will be out there soon and no longer need to live vicariously through you. I've kind of got the plan. Cheers!
Wow. I'm well probably because I'm just closer to your posting time than ever. And also realize that the video is months in advance yet you are here after posting it. Something all about that span of time travel is wow. Thank you folks.
Your videography is amazing. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Love this video, your filming is beautiful! Thank you for sharing
Love the sing along at the end! Good times ⛵️
That was a lot of fun guys - thanks! We all needed some levity. (and Kika - you had us at "hot & wet" 😉)
I am a waterfall person. Ours are good, Burney Falls is epic, but , the grandness of the falls in this episode was overwhelmingly astounding ! Your photography was great, the drone work was awesome. 10 out of 10 Thanks for such an amazing video. And, of all the places, the warm springs at the end was incredible. I will be sharing if you don't mind ...
That was so beautifull both of you. Finally in your hot spring. Awesome waterfall too. Take care and stay safe
OK, this video is officially a candidate for the best UA-cam closure, it made me laugh out loud! Cheers from Milan (Italy)
That first waterfall brings back so many memories. It is amazing how much more touristy the place has gotten since I have left there. I’m so glad you two have been able to experience that awesome part of the world.
Really enjoy sharing a bit in your love of adventures and love of each other guys! Keep up the good work, this is some of the best of UA-cam!
Love the light at the second falls!
Drones and waterfall shots are wonderful, cheers to you Kika and Dan !
You guys are so great, thank you for this video. Amanda and I drove around Iceland in the winter and saw all this covered in snow. Now that’s an amazing journey as well.
Fantastic photography! Also glad you finally got to enjoy the hot stream.
With so much horrible going on at present, it was so nice to watch this lovely video. Iceland certainly looks well worth a visit.
You repeat something so let me also repeat something. You made a grate episode and I want to tell that I enjoyed the show. Grate cinematic quality, great sound mixing. Loved it.
What a fun couple!! Hot springs are very healing
oh my! your most beautiful filming yet! simply gorgeously done in every way !
This makes me want to go back there sooner than later. The river in Reykjadalur was deeper when I was there a few years ago.
I'm SO GLAD you were able to experience the warm river! It was one of our favorite things we did in Iceland. We did find a couple of waterfront hot springs in northwest Iceland but they were small and local knowledge helped us find them. It most definitely would have been a dream to have been there with Uma at anchor👌. We visited in late September so there were fewer crowds but it was Windy so sailing would have been a challenge. If you ever come to Southeast Alaska we will take you to a natural hotspring you can access by boat.
Cheers from Juneau
