Kika, I have written so many times how much I appreciate your honesty when things go awry while you are working and improving your skills and the frustration that comes with learning and mastering something and the guts and confidence to leave it in the video is VERY inspiring. You are such a cool woman!!! You set an example that is just really wonderful! I love how you and Dan work together to be successful.
your excessive praise is patronising
Well said...I feel the same way. Kika & Dan are sooooo inspiring!!
@@dprfail I doubt Kika, or anyone, gives a shit. But I understand why you said that.
@@dprfail nah. You're wrong.
Knowing Kika is around, makes the World a far better place to live in❤
What a lovely thought.
I agree wholeheartedly!
Dan and Kika, you two have it all going on. It was well worth the 2 week wait for step 274. Sailing, sail control lesson, docking lesson, scenery history, drone photography and Kika on Silks…..quite simply beautiful. Thank you!
3 actually
She's an enchanting child, living inside an accomplished, adventurous woman.
How totally amazing and spellbinding - silks in ythe snow..!! Glorious and yes a little insane.
Another champion episode, thank you D & K
Everything in your videos is so full of calm. And Dan has a very bright future to be the most patient teacher ever. Go on you two! Love your work!
GREAT EPISODE!! Seriously had me zoned IN the ENTIRE time! The ending with Kika on the Silks... So much strength, it was awesome to watch and with the weather and scenery truly beautiful. The two of you make a great team and really give your subscribers amazingly interesting and unique content. I can genuinely say I watch 3-4 sailing channels on a regular basis and there has always been something a little bit different about yours. 😘 Thankyou for being bold and adventuring were others don't.
Kikas silk performance is an absolute highlight! Crazy and touching at the same time. What a mixture out of the harsh environment with the fragility and elegance that she showed us. Applause!
That was so beautiful! Seriously! Tears and goosebumps!
For real !!!!
This is without a doubt one if not the best of your episodes. Here I am at 90 years old in Yuma, AZ @ 110 degrees shivering watching you both. You both should be very proud of your self. You make my week.
Thank You! and God Bless!
I can’t believe a girl who grew up in the tropics is doing that. Beautiful!
Dan’s a good teacher; he’s patient and gives encouragement.
Yeah I agree......think I better improve my wife's training before she see's a lawyer 😂
Amazing artistry with the silks! Wow! So beautiful!! Freezing but so worth it!
Great footage. These remote locations are beautiful. The silks were mesmerizing. Thanks
The red colour looks amazing against the greys ❤ I'm still in the Carribean on the binge watch but I couldn't resist this one. The water is so clear in Norway too! ❄❄❄
You guys always pick the perfect music to accompany your epic adventures! May the winds be ever at your back!
Kika I have been waiting for silks in the snow but what the heck……..no bathing suit? Lol I do silks outside in Florida in the summer and I hate getting in the perfect stretch/pose and the mosquitoes starts biting. I’ll take that over the cold though. You look beautiful as always! Thank you guys for another great episode!
Not much mosquitos in Norway this time of year ! 🤣
@@marcryvon Mosquitos aren't that crazy :-) !
@@tomriley5790 tell that to the Alaskans. haha
KIKA!!! You da LADY!!! Not only sticking to that reverse docking ( I'd be sitting on a sunken boat by now), YOU did it!!! Then turning around and doing your silks in a blizzard!!! YOU ROCK LADY!!! Dan's one very very lucky guy to have the Haitian Tigress of the North to travel with. I'm hoping the locals may have seen some of that too. Now with Dan they might have had the usual comeback of 'Crazy Canuck' but to see someone out of tropics barefoot and barehanded doing a slow dance on silks, now that's too damn special to not take notice of....DAMNNNNNNNNNNN. Dan lucky lucky you!
The music and the silks was amazing!
Love places like this. Thanks for sharing !
Practicing docking is essential. As long as nothing broke or someone gets hurt, its a good docking... no matter how many times you try it. Breaking up a maneuver when it seems not to be ok, is better than trying to do it and be in a worse situation.
The silk was amazing 😍
Kika's silks always amazes me. It looks like she just gets in her Zone and this one with the blowing Wind and Snow was beautifully shot Dan. Most excellent video all around guys. Thank you so much for sharing.
New winter Olympic sport for the next Olympics Games in China. Double handed sailing race with boat handling skills test, Arctic North Navigation exercise , sub zero cross country hiking, and high flying silk gymnastics during sub arctic adverse weather conditions. I am putting my money on the Canada Team UMA Gold!!! I can visualize UMA being towed around the Olympic Parade. WOW!
Wow Kika, that was beautiful! I am so proud of the two of you, I see that Canadian flag and think “your in Norway”! 🇨🇦❤️BC
How dramatic is that - Silks in the snow. Insane and beautiful. 😘
It's like ballet in the air. So cool that you did it in cold snow. Such strength and grace. I can only imagine the muscle it takes to do that, especially when it's cold!
Missed y'all! So relaxing and educational to watch. You are Medicine People. Thank you.
Good job on being persistent with the docking Kika and respect for Dan and his patience while she gets the hang of it !!!
For all those who doubted, Kika can back that up.
Love the silk footage. Any residents nearby must have been wondering about your sanity (even though they probably enjoyed watching).
I love this! this video is gorgeous I would love to see more videos of Kika performing! Those shots are phenomenal! The contrast of the red silks with the snow coming down is just jaw dropping 😲 very artfully done!
Wow! Another epic video showing your adventures, skills, talents, editing and videography! Simply amazing you two!
Climbing the silks in the snow was a genius call. Well done, that looked amazing.
This was SUCH a beautiful video! Traveling north to an amazing place few ever see, then Kika's beautiful flowing performance on the silks. Thanks for sharing all this beauty.
Any landing that you walk away from without damage to the boat or dock is a good one. Way to go. Good job.
nicely done with the silks. you look so smooth and agile. what a talent. fun to watch.
That was awesome Kika, great cinematography Dan, amazing episode!
Great episode! one thing that has really helped us when docking in reverse, is to stand on the opposite side of the helm and steer "normal" facing aft.
Insanely beautiful that silk in the snowfall and so graceful ❤️
I love these videos. Showing places most of us, if any, will ever visit. What a shame the pub wasn't open. Thanks for posting. I also saw another North American has just arrived in Ireland on another youtube spot. Crossing the Atlantic, like you two did, is an incredible achievement.
Kika, you are absolutely beautiful on the silks.... but we wouldn't know it without Dan's great photography. Thanks you two!
As for reverse practice... never fear, thanks for letting know you too are real people like us. We ALL go thru stuff like that. It's nice to not always watch polished and edited perfection in things.
Wow, that was amazing: the docking on reverse and specially the silks. I SO want to learn how to do that. Kika ROCKS! 💝🙌🏻👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻
I find these scenic shots of the boat and the mountains in the background to be incredible! They are so amazing they don't look real!
That docking had me trying to help knowing Kika couldn’t hear me😂 Great coaching Dan! I fish from a 16 ft aluminum boat and hit the dock almost ever time, funny I was trying to help🤪
Another lovely film. So accomplished. A joy to watch. Not sure why but Kika's performance with the silks brought tears to my eyes. Quite emotional. Was it my mood, the scenery, the weather. Certainly performance art. Going to watch it again! Thank you
Crazy hot snow dance! Crane come to you the right moment. Superb landscape with red silky character.
the barn door on that thing makes it really hard to back. Well done K!!
Gymnastics in the northern end of Norway with snow falling; how romantic and can it possibly get any better than that!
Silks in the snow.....Amazing, so beautiful....You are one talented and lovely lady.
Ah, yes…. The pleasure of docking a(single prop) sailboat without a bow thruster… I fully understand Kika’s anxiety and frustration. Been there, done that. Congratulations for including some unvarnished reality that is part of your life. Dock handling can be more intimidating than “weather “.
Absolutely blown away with the acrobatics, cinematography, and music. You guys are the best ❤️
Some absolutely stunning shots with the drone, pure picture postcard shots...epic!
If I might be so bold to suggest when you are docking in reverse is you can get on the dock run a spring line forward. Once that is secured put the boat in recoveries and the bow will be sucked in towards the dock. Obviously if you attach an aft spring line then put the boat in forward. It makes it really easy to dock using only one line. Love your channel!
Beautiful, snow and all... just beautiful
Kika, I don’t know your personally obviously, but I appreciate your and Dan’s videos. I hope your family are safe, and not hurt in Haiti.
Was I the only one that, for real clapped and said WTG Kika when she backed into that dock like a pro? I'm really becoming too emotionally invested in these videos LOL....keep up the good work you two!
Excellent job Kika practice makes perfect, you guys are great together ❤
Soooooo incredibly stunning Kika!!!!!! You are a beautiful silk artist!
Just heard about the earthquake and immediately thought about you and your family . I hope everyone is safe and ok . loves from Holland to Haiti
Am i glad to see this post after 2 weeks, to indicate all is well on your side.... Fantastic show Thank you
Kika I love that you chose to persevere after that 2nd attempt. It is so inspiring that you continue to challenge yourself on taking the helm when docking. Soon you'll be giving Dan masterclasses in docking
Knowing how the weather have been here in the summer, i cant wait for them to post content on the weather up north when they get to june/july
The summer above the Arctic Circle has been dreadful, lots of rain and low temperatures.
Svalbard had the coldest summer in 13 years. ;-/
@@steinjohansen3142 well, they are not in Svalbard tho. haha. Im thinking notheren norway :)
@@snowown The reason I mentioned Svaldbard was that I recently read an article online. ( And they were at Svalbard from July 7- to July 26, now at Iceland.)
If you look at statistics from Metrologisk Institutt of rainfall in July, you will see that all of the Norwegian coastline above the Arctic Circle got 200-400% more rain "than normal." Neither May or June was any different.
So when you say Norway had a good summer this year, I assume you live south of the Arctic.
I have one of those magic assymmetrics as well, the last 3 times I've put it up the wind quickly came up another 10 knots and I had to release the tack to get it down with my dousing sock ASAP!
Thanks for a great episode! And thanks for the cold war lesson, I was not aware that we had coastal fortresses as late as 2007 when Meløyvær fortress was closed.
Just a few kilometeres further south you could have seen some impressive WW2 German guns in 40.6cm calibre and barrel and breach at 21.5m in length. The guns go by the name Adolf cannon, during WW2 several of these guns were constructed along the coast, but only the ones at Harstad remains.
So very much enjoy your adventure. The whole episode was great but the silk was magical and crazy. You two are some very special people on this planet and I am sure everyone you meet is a very lucky person. Just amazing! BTW backing up a sail boat is one of the hardest things one can do, master it and you will be so proud of yourself! Hugs and respect.
Wow Dan, you are such a patient teacher!
No matter where you two go you make it happen!... Cheers
The only way forward is by getting out of your comfort zone. Congratulations on your docking experience.
Nobody likes docking in reverse especially with wind and current. Just keeping at it when every instinct is telling you to bail takes a special kind of courage and trust. Kika your silk dance was absolutely beautiful.
This is the only channel that I give likes half way thru
Excellent song choice to accompany the silks!
The title to this episode is spot on! I don’t think any brown-skinned (or otherwise) beauties have done silks in the snow before and I have to say that Kika was mesmerizing. Such poise and grace. I was hoping that the silks did not suddenly think they were a spinnaker, broke free, and brought her to the Land of Oz! Despite not being in a bikini, this was a truly memorable episode! Well done.
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. What an incredible ride for you two!
I hope your family is safe!
Wonderful Kika. Bless you, you did a marvelous, elegant work.
Kika thankyou for the Silks, it has been awhile, and in the Snow yet!!!!
Great reversing. Same happened to me coming in reverse in Salcombe with a wind blowing me off. Perfect till took speed off and then lost bow. Eventually did same as you - kept a little speed on, line ashore at mid-cleat and then forward. Really great job - should be proud.
BRAVO! Amazing job Docking! 3rd time is indeed the charm!! Never give up and never surrender!!!
I love seeing you doing these impossible movements .But to an 88 year old man they even feel painful especially in a snow storm . Keep up your amazing lives and continue to inspire us who are no longer able to cruise the world .
Beautiful Kika, in this Nordic world you look like a goddess from ancient sagas in your red silk. Enchanting and technically very good, even compared to what you can see so over the Internet. Thank you.
Glad you found some juice!
Consider slacking your jib-sheets (or at least pulling them off of contact with your standing rigging/lifelines) when Uma is at rest so that they do not chafe on your shrouds. I've seen jib-sheets sawn right through in a night of the trades. Friction is the enemy of double-braid.
Gorgeous video. Thank u 🇨🇦
I just love watching you amd the silks! Amazing!
That was absolute poetry! Thanks!
Yes, a little crazy, but the Silk routine was amazing! Thank you, Kika!!!!!
Fantastic filming if Kika!!!! Loved this whole video.
Just brilliant, all of it!
Everything is right in your videos starting with your and your good moods even when you are under stress, the topics you cover and the music.
I just can't get enough
AMAZING! I loved the Kika in the red silks in the snow. Next week, I want to see Dan up there! ;)
Absolutely gorgeous and a delight to watch... thanks so much!
that silk routine in snow, epic!
Silks scene was fantastic! 👏. Cheers 🍻
As always, Dan is so good at giving a direction without pressuring, he is such a treasure…! This was another memorable video, with mesmerizing Kika’s silk in snow… wow!
Please publish Sailing Uma coffee table picture books. Your videography, photography and content is breathtaking. Always smile after watching an episode. The silks were amazing in the ❄.
Unlock your knees …
First thing I taught when I was running a ferry…
Love the electric motor…
Good job…
You also had the wind pushing you off shore.
Kika excellent performance. Enjoyed this footage very much and all that you both do♥️🙏🏾
Kika thank you so much for showing your practices! As an aspiring live-aboard cruiser, I'm keen to learn and watching you work is so incredibly helpful! Please continue to share this informational and inspirational content! And just because I feel so excited, here's another sentence ending in an exclamation point! 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤣🤣🤣
So beautiful & Amazing!!! Great work guys!!
GREAT episode - so well produced! Well done and thanks!
That will blow the nine residents mind!
Ya Did GREAT at backing Kika and the SILKS!!!!!!! HOLY Crap OUTSTANDING you two always explore Some of the Most Interesting places THANKS for Sharing
Very amazing. Thankyou for your athletic ability and both of you as a couple. I am restoring a Bayfirld 32 to circumnavigate solo when I am in my 80s. 70 now. Enjoy your lives and do it whole you can.
Magnifique ! I agree with your title ! You are perfect in this awesome scenery ! Thanks
