A lot Can Change in Only 3 miles - Sailing Uma [Step 233]

Well, after the 8 days of my binge I found myself with a void. So I poked around on the KZbin world while waiting for the next Step on Thursday. I came to realize how Sailing Uma is a pioneering force, so many are trying to duplicate, you guys are on the forefront and so transparent and sincere. Love the format of your steps and quality of audio! I’m learning so much!

[@GordLamb]

I must sheepishly admit that was us in Hamilton a couple weeks ago. First time I'd seen some of my friends since the start of covid; I sailed in and grabbed a guest slip, and everyone came aboard for my birthday and we busted out the electronic drum pad and travel guitars and kept everyone up till 2am regailing them with 90s alternative, haha. We were pretty good though! ^_^

[@marcryvon]

Thanks again for another awsome video. So professional ! Every Thursday, I'm in awe with UMA. IT's so incredible what you've done, starting with a barely floating lump to this beautiful, high tech machine. Aaah, being young again, I'd follow your path for sure. 😍

[@anthonyjulien]

The cinematography in this episode is beautiful, love your videos.

[@christicarter1895]

Y'all make me happy just watching you. I wish I could go out and sail like y'all have done, but I wouldn't even know where to start, plus no partner in crime to tag along with the adventure. Y'all keep pumping out videos and I'll keep living vicariously through you.

[@gmanwaseverywhere2104]

I was actually extremely impressed by the athleticism of both of you on that obstacle course. WELL DONE! What an incredible location. So beautiful. Love watching you guys experience life together. You're wonderful.

[@scarletbegonias2359]

I was watching Great Circle's Outremer build and they mentioned that you folks were up in Norway. Majekre mentioned how envious she was of you, that comment led me to you two. Gotta say, really enjoying the Norway experience. I've been a long time subscriber of yours, just been a while is all... Nice to be back.

[@garymaxwellian9085]

In all my years watching Sailing Uma I think your best kept secret is where you get your music from that you edit in. I've a feeling it takes hours and hours of listening and probably cataloging on small hard disks. But you must have a secret source of such beautiful mood creating music 😊😊.😊

[@SailingUma]

Thanks. But it’s no secret. Often it’s linked in the video descriptions.

[@briansvacina7076]

Not sure who does the video editing but it's like watching a short film. Really great job!! Love the sound of the rain on the sailboat!!

Nice video from my hometown😀😀 The little island with the obstaclecourse is called Line, and its a popular place for boaters 🙂🙂

Is it the same pronunciation as in English?

[@trondbraadland813]

@@mikalbrown3227 no, the closest I can think of is "lean" plus we also pronounce the "e" at the end, so "Leane" , sorry, probably not very helpfull :-) Line is a normal girlsname in Norway :-)

The ‘ol sailor’s eye caught a glimpse of chafe on the Genoa’s UV cover on the left side of the tack. Probably rubbing on the foil when furling or reefed. Time to apply some sail tape before it starts to chew on the sail fabric underneath. Oh, and of course a fun video!

That moment when you realize you no longer wish to be the kids partying on Daddy's motorboat at 0130! Middle-age comes on like a thief in the night.

[@peterhendry2154]

Here, in Central France, I've been to a few nights at the village hall. Those kids couldn't make it till dawn like the old folks here. Party and eat all night, Dessert is usually around midnight with two more courses to go and thick soup at first light so they don't bother with "going to bed". Big breakfast and carry on. Here's a warning for visitors to rural France. The main meal is at lunchtime and they have two hours to eat and digest it before going back to work. When they get home after work they drink a Pastis or two with nibbles and nuts (apperos) then have a light meal, or take away, with wine and maybe a wee Whisky as a digestif.. If you are invited to apperos and all you had was a quick snack at lunch YOU ARE DOOMED!

[@nixl3518]

I think these two have a long way to go before you can call them middle aged! While the kids were sleeping all day in their parents condos, these two were exploring a park and sailing their boat. They were just looking forward to a quiet night. That doesn’t make them middle-aged! (Edited stupid autocorrect mistakes I did not see happen!!)

[@jarritos257]

The best wedding I was ever invited to was of a couple where the bride and her family were French Canadian. They had a beautiful modest short ceremony followed by dinner, and then the entire wedding party camped outside and stayed up all night socializing and drinking beer and liquor out of a ice filled kiddie pool! Almost everyone under 30 couldn’t hang and tapped out around 3 AM and everyone older didn’t sleep and partied into the next day! I had such a lovely time with her Grandparents! So yeah, the youngins need to learn to keep up lol

[@jarritos257]

One of my favorite countries to visit is Norway. I've been lucky enough to spend the equivalent of 3 or 4 months there over the years for work. Stavanger is a lovely place, and the Norwegians are a lovely people!

[@clipkaiser]

Finally watched all steps. Startet about 2 month ago. Always enough steps left to continue watching your fantastic journey. Know I have to wait for new steps to come. That‘s weird. 😆 Discovered your Chanel first, while watching for videos for camper interiors. Thought would be interesting to watch how life on a sailboat would be, started with „The Modern Interior of our 50 yr old DREAM YACHT“. Know I‘m sailing with you....on my couch. Thanks!

next time Dan should row, and definitely go first on the obstacle corse, not to mention handle the dock lines while you manage the helm. That's what a gentlemen does!

[@martinmarheinecke7677]

The Netherlands and Norway are both members of the Schengen Area. They probably have visa for the whole Schengen Area, so there is no trouble with border controls or immigration offices. Getting a Schengen visa is very easy for a Canadian, it could be a bit difficult for a Haitian, but it is worth the bureaucratic effort.

[@xanderharty8612]

Just finished watching the whole series

[@marcvaillancourt4670]

Guys, love you’re vids, but I must say, when my wife and I decided to start sailing, one thing I insisted on was that she be as proficient as I. She did most if not all of the docking procedures regardless of winds. Please keep that in mind, many times we came into marinas with my back out and she was on her own. She did great!

[@divekatdreaming]

No worries! They have the same mentality. Kika has proven herself to be very a very capable sailor. She docks well even though she has lost some confidence because the prop on the new motor turns the opposite direction and the motor is less responsive so the boat handles differently.

[@roaddog4334]

I guess I'm very lucky. The sound of people laughing/partying & having a good time has never bothered me no matter how late they go. For some reason, these noises bring to mind a free spirit of youth that inspires me in my later years. Sláinte

[@Buck1954]

I used to do some gnarly adult ropes courses, but they didn't have the balance strap fortunately. The one with the cross ropes would always catapult me off into space. We were pretty high up and had to be belayed on line with a safety. Then there was a long zip line down a hill at the end. Fun times. Kiki lost time wise, but was more fun too watch. Dan tackled it mainly with his long legs. I like how he took the hanging ropes.

I found a cheap kayak paddle that's like your dinghy oars. It wasn't worth keeping. I don't own a dinghy, but what I know is a good paddle is what you need paddling against a current, the wind, in surf. But I don't know if there's an upgrade for a dinghy, and you guys seem to be getting where you need. If I did have dinghy and wanted to upgrade it for better rowing, of course a seat, but also foot braces. It's foot braces where the force is transferred to the hull. (Sea kayaks don't seem to have figured this out, most use crappy pegs. I make plywood foot braces connecting them to the kayak with those pegs.) Just being a busy body.
