HOW GOOD IS THAT EPISSODE..!!?? In the closing shots with the camera angle panning back fixed on the glaacier, then Uma charging left to right across the screen as the music builds, it got quite emotional..!!! Seriously good cinematography and editing. What a great team you three are. Dan, Kik, Uma. Thank you for your inspiration and sharing your journey with us. Blessings Grant

[@PyeGuySailing]

i was going to leave a comment but you nailed it. 100%

[@orlajohnston8312]

Art 🤍

[@liamkean8055]

Same @Grant - excellent comment on a superb episode!

[@marcryvon]

Fully agree. And at 17:24 when Uma reappears from behind the iceberg, Dan standing at the helm, you can feel how small Uma really is for this grand voyage in such a place. Totally awesome !

[@robm.4512]

😎👍🍻

[@karitane]

Please don't make short of what you've done. This is one of the best channels on the net. I have LOVED every week.

[@CelluloidPoisoning]

this series deserves to win the highest awards, beautiful in every way and so fun to watch

[@kerbouchaud1]

I’ve seen productions with multi million dollar budgets and gear and teams of people that aren't able to capture the beauty and essence the way you two have. Thank you.

[@dustman96]

Ditto

[@user6619-k9t]

The final scenes there... the sweeping panorama, UMA heeled over, the sails full, little Kika at the helm, her ponytail in the breeze, the epic soundtrack... beautiful film making. Top of your game! Thank you.

[@charliex666able1]

Uma. All my other sailing channels are tropics and bikinis, and I adore them, but Uma is hands above. You guys are so brave and adventurous!

[@garymaxwellian9085]

Don't despair Kika. You gave this episode the justice it so deserves. This is the episode that will get you a job with Disney studios when you want it.

[@larsriise1396]

Again, congratulations, i was at your meet up in Bergen in August last year. You where going to north of Norway in the autumn, and going in an electric sailboat to Svalbard this year. To me, that was not normal. You had really done some good planning. In my opinion, this has been, and now is the best sailboat video production, channel, on youtube. At next meet up i will bring or send you some kweik yeast. From Voss, to produce your own beer on Uma. You are now in my opinion, Norwegian vikings. Cheers, fair winds and stay safe.

[@gonewiththewynns]

Inspirational! We have sooo loved this season and you both make sailing extreme latitudes look damn good. I would have cried leaving too! The amount of planning, preparing, exploring, capturing...it's exhausting and exhilarating just thinking about it. KUDOS!

[@bvheide]

What an honor to be taken to a place that I'll most likely never see myself, and will most likely never exist in the same way as it does now in many, many generations of humans' lifetimes. Thank you.

[@berthagross1902]

You guys, this was amazing..thanks for sharing 👍

[@alwayzurboy]

Never make light of what you've accomplished with a little Pearson 36 that you poured your souls into. UMA under sail barreling out the fjord is a scene that will live in KZbin Sailing channel history. A bit emotional to watch following this journey for 5 years and so I will revisit this video in the future to admire what two young architects did. You don't need a big boat to have big adventures. #dontbuyacouch

[@markvine3814]

"It is not going to flip over"... then the ice berg flips over.... Brrilliant.

[@SailingUma]

😂right!?... I think the berg heard me and was like "oh yea? watch this"

[@ikerstges]

hold my beer..

[@pixelgraphica]

🤣😂

[@p-dubya]

Totally grounded…they said!! It won’t flip over…he assured her! We’re safe…they thought! < < < Enormous Iceberg does a giant backflip just a few feet away… < < < You were saying…??? Groans the iceberg with a sneaky iceberg grin! 🌊 That was so freaking CRAZY…SCARY…AWESOME!!! Thanks for showing us the epic beauty, the raw power, the unpredictability and the true awesomeness of this place! BRAVO!!

[@xpatsteve]

If National Geographic hasn't called you by now it's their loss. Great footage!

[@xduskflyerx]

So many great episodes lately. I think it is time you officially drop "Architect" and insert "Filmmaker".

[@rtaylor9549]

Incredible video from start to finish. But it was the shots of Uma slicing thru the water, healed over on her side with the awesome music that really got me. Great job guys

[@pw7030]

Totally agree, got me too

[@michaelsloan1991]

Incredible achievement to take a boat without diesel backup, to a place where electrical power is hard to get and to go so far north. Electric powered sailboats are the future. You’ve proved it can be done and others will follow, but you did it first. Amazing!

[@markdaube507]

Don't ever doubt your abilities as film makers. I watch a lot of these channels and most are ok but lose my interest either because they get too technical about the little things and miss the artistic side, or the people themselves just aren't that interesting. I always look forward to checking in with UMA because you bring us the most interesting content, whether it's boat repairs, or exploring new places. You have a great eye for cinematography and your drone footage is awesome. Not to mention the editing. I have seen feature films ruined by bad editing and bad directing. Plus, you two are really cool, funny, charming, and easy on the eyes. You have never failed to entertain me and I look forward to living vicariously through your adventures to sooth the boredom of a 9-5 life style. Keep it up. PLEASE.

[@earlhunt2815]

I totally agree with everything you said! These two Rock!!

[@ibrahimmoss]

Ameen. Ameen.

[@simplyfocus9937]

They are architects, they have studied the shape of things. They are not regular people.

[@TheAccidentalViking]

Just be sure to note that they are not filming at that latitude in December. This is very much pre pre pre recorded... by months.

[@beverlyaslett7871]

Bravo Kika and and Dan. I came back to watch this epic part of your journey. I will always remember this as an inspiration. A small electric boat, two smart strong self taught sailors making a film, sharing it with us. Part art, part adventure, part love story. Thank you for making these films

[@normanrubenis7283]

How do you do this guys? How do you manage to create an episode that tops the last? Like almost every episode just wows you. Well done yet again, incredible.

[@lawrencegleason4666]

Exactly.

[@Sommers234]

I can imagine how satisfying it is to have an electric motor. The relative quiet when there isn't any favorable wind is so much more palatable than the rumbling noise of an iron genny! I'm in complete awe of your gutsy adventures. Absolutely beautiful to watch.

[@tjdavisbz]

Beautifully done, this is epic. Congrats on a ridiculously huge accomplishment!

[@leonaessens4399]

Everyone else is saying the same thing, your editing is absolutely first-class and this is no longer "just" another sailing channel. This is serious film making of the highest order. I am ashamed to say I have not watched all that many episodes in the last couple of months or so, which is my loss. It's just that I was born and raised, and lived most of my life, in the tropics, in various Pacific locations, South East Asia and northern Australia. So I have kind of an inborn aversion to snow and ice, you might say, and there certainly is a lot of that in your Arctic adventures! It began to make me want to sit in my own backyard and admire my banana trees, paw paw trees and jacarandas, but now I feel I need to go back and watch all the Uma episodes I missed. I can always buy myself a warm sweater if I get cold...

[@randystrand908]

Cute! :)

[@markoutlaw7702]

The quality of your storytelling and cinematography gets better with every episode. It puts National Geographic to shame!

[@AllisonMetcalfPalumbo]

I had the SAME thought about NatGeo while watching this episode.

[@Cat-ni6fm]

Me too

[@dustman96]

National geographic sensationalizes everything. This is on much better and more realistic level.

[@artonikula7750]

I fully agree that👍🏻

[@nightfury1318]

Agreed

[@cferinga1]

The shots sailing out of the bay were just gorgeous. Such raw beauty of the landscape and the powerful beauty of a sailboat under sail.

[@seashelify362]

The two of you have a lifetime of stories & videos to share with the world. Sailing Uma is by far my favourite KZbin channel. 💕❤️. Thank you.

[@grahamjones5885]

Your voyage that far north in an electric powered sailboat should go down in history. Great exploration! You two have joined the ranks of Lyn and Larry Pardey.

[@johnarmentrout8497]

Absolutely stunning. I have tears. Although a dream of mine, I’m quite certain at my age and health that I will never make it there. Thank you so much for working so hard to help me experience it with you as best you can.

[@jsunit5354]

To: john aremtrout . . Agreed. . .same here.

[@bosmanSaoirse]

The best sailing channel on KZbin. Period.

[@joycekilpatrick68]

What an amazing step! Your journey from the boatyards of Florida to the Artic has been amazing! 😍 Thank you for bringing us along!!

[@justincase5272]

You made a GOOD decision! "We're so exhausted..." "This is probably the most dangerous anchorage we've stayed in..." Yes? You were saying? In sailing, aviation, and similar endeavors, the lack of sleep is proportional to the propensity for incidents and accidents. Always err on the side of caution. Terrific place for a relatively short visit, provided you can maintain being well-rested. I have Scandinavian blood running through my veins and have THOROUGHLY enjoyed this past year's excursions throughout the cold North! I love winter, cold, wet, and snow! I can't thank you enough for capturing these incredibly wonderful shots and bring them home to all your viewers. Kudos! Now, be safe, stock up, and begin the journey to warmer waters! Safe travels, and always watching.

[@toidrayton-seymore5009]

Thanks for the reminder that it's just you two doing all of filming, editing, location scouting, etc. I honestly forget due to just how dynamic your videos are.

[@earlhunt2815]

Inspiring, high risk, emotional, romantic, national geographic, cinematic otherworld, and all from a Guinness book of world records one of a kind electric sailboat!!

[@daveamies5031]

Kika, those shots, both camera and drone, you have truly mastered this skill to the point you could give a master class 👍🏼well done.

[@williamdurham7722]

She's already done a "Teds talk"...

[@lindarothchild5479]

@@williamdurham7722 Thank you for the info about the TED talk. I went there and listened. Very nice.

[@waterdog226]

What you have manifested with this part of your adventure is an epic achievement. You have not only accomplished something personal to yourselves, but you have been able to have a most powerful impact on your viewers. It is quite spiritual at different levels. Thank you.

[@paul_gradenwitz]

Just amazing in cinematic quality and content. Another masterpiece.

[@mikesmith-sv1hg]

Agreed, towards the end with the light coming through the glacier. gorgeous!

[@zekomaybe4564]

Poignant! This series has been very impressive. You two embarked on a voyage that was dangerous but so very beautiful. Polar Bears and seals. Having to carry a high powered rifle. My brain is jumping around trying to express my awe at what you two have accomplished. So I can’t imagine the powerful emotions the two of you have as you round out this trip. All the initial planning for this must be unimaginable for most all of us watching your expedition. I keep wanting to express my total appreciation but feel my words and thoughts keep coming up short. So please know that what I have expressed is a mere fraction of my true appreciation for the quality of work put into this endeavor. So, a huge thank you !!!!

[@faildotcomable]

Well said.

[@artbrown5743]

For all of the sail vlogs I watch, you 2 are the only ones that REALLY SAIL, You are amazing people with a great little boat ! !

[@karenrussell9672]

"I am sad". "I am lonely". Good. The two statements suit the setting, all alone with a glacier, as far north as you could go. You aced it. Thank you for keeping it real. Thank you for sharing and being creative while keeping safe. Appreciation from Canada.

[@simplyfocus9937]

Beautiful comment

[@philipmorehouse1069]

As a professional photographer and artist - those shots really took my breath away - pure genius. Nicely done. Major Kudos on the ending. YOU REALLY GOT ME!!!

[@phillysailormac]

I particularly loved at 21:46 how Kika's hair is flying out behind her. Sort of a Titanic spectacle, but with competence and storytelling, logistics and cinematography, sailing and navigating, survival skills and more than a touch of emotion fleshing out the scene.

[@fritzk9118]

I just realized how old that ice is that you are putting into your drinks. Pretty amazing.

[@jessicabennett4281]

I’m a sailor and a Canadian, and the concept of sailing in an area like this is crazy to me. Not many people are brave enough to take this adventure but you guys are doing amazing. Very cool, loved this episode ❤️😍

[@michaelwassenaar5035]

I have to say this has got to be the Best of the best episodes of UMA

[@cynthias8317]

For what it’s worth, you’ve done an amazing job giving us a peak into a world most of us only dream of seeing in person. Kudos!🤗

[@IntoTheBlueCrew]

❤❤❤

[@paulfredrickson2181]

Kika - "I don't have to worry about them flipping over." OMG THAT WAS CLOSE! Beautiful shots Kika and an EPIC ending scene of Uma! I liked the box effect and the music...classic! Uma looked so majestic showing herself off at the steep angle sail. AWESOME! I've watched that scene a dozen times...made me cry. So cool. You've turned your sad stranded lady into a beautiful sea flying Angel. An AMAZING way to end this adventure.

[@scottpiggott7600]

You guys produce the best videos of all the sailing couples/families on KZbin! Yours are the videos I most look forward to. Thanks!

[@jamesmyers2087]

Might be your best episode I’ve watched. No one doing travel on KZbin, especially sailing, no one chronicles it as well as you two do.

[@Happ465]

You have brought a whole different perspective to life. You have brought together sailing, travel, technology, videography, and most important two people seeing the world with a unique perspective as you truly explore the wonders of our world! Thank you!

[@Eric-gi9kg]

@ 17:28...EPIC SHOTS Your Sound selection is PERFECTION

[@sabinevera2278]

Oh my. Goose bumps at the end of this one. I’m feeling so much love for you guys up there sharing this the way you do.

[@svZia-Switch51]

National Geographic quality footage guys, simply fantastic. You continue to separate yourselves from almost every sailing KZbin channel out there.

[@Onitsutube]

and I thought that shots of Uma sailing in Caribbean were beautiful... my god the last minute of this video was breathtaking, amazing, indescribable... fantastic job both of You, we are so lucky to be able to watch Your adventures... nobody is better in putting them together in video than You are :o) thank You from the bottom of my heart :o)

[@00708046]

I've compared your season 13 with The Delos Crew expedition north 80° and I love yours more ❤. I paid $$ to see theirs so I will be topping that amount for watching yours . Thanks again !

[@tomriley5790]

Wow! What a video! That iceberg was crazy - grounded and still flipped so much bigger than it looked too! It must have been so demanding being up there with the worries of the ice, filming, all the other stuff going on. Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job at capturing it! Uma and the glacier looked fantastic in the shots from the dinghy and the drone! You really did it justice Kika! (Good to see where the ice came from too!)

[@russellegge9840]

Thank you for taking us along on your voyage. With KZbin, people will be watching your videos for generations to come. The great exploration of Dan and Kika on S/V Uma

[@catpurrson3651]

I had been thinking you were going to have a major problem. Leaving such an epic place. What an experience you've shared with us. Thank you!

[@generossano2800]

Perfect picture coming out from behind the floating berg. Great Kika and Dan.

[@OdinYYC]

The outro of Uma under sail and the music with the timing of the hits!! Amazing!!

[@mikefrancis9707]

Thank you. All I can say is WOW !!!!!! I am envious

[@nickmolonlabe5780]

What an episode full of emotion for crew and viewers.

[@keithrelyea7997]

So glad to have found your Svalbard episode. Sailed there in 2007, got to 83 deg. no. Your expressions of awe bring back wonderful memories.

[@skully7763]

Don't be sad. You have achieved so much. Thank you for all the beautiful films.

[@lawrencegleason4666]

I had to watch this twice. You know, I'd pay to watch this in a theatre. There should be an Uma Movie. Coming to your Pay-Per-View Sailing Channel. The Uma Movie. You have enough mind-blowing footage. This episode here is beyond amazing. Two kids in a little fibreglass boat on an electric motor knock on the door of Santa's Workshop at the North Pole. There's so many firsts here. I'm gobsmacked. Saying well done doesn't do it justice. This is award-winning stuff. Salut, as they say in Quebec.

[@janisconley290]

Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking scenery! Your emotional response just shows how much that place impacted you. We are all blessed that you both choose to share your experiences with us - living vicariously through you both is quite wonderful. That ending and the music.....!!! Magical God bless and keep you both!

[@IntoTheBlueCrew]

❤🍸❤

[@jessicamermaid2438]

Dan and Kika, you two are architects by trade and I'm confident that you are exceptional at it but, you both, are so much more. You guys are badass adventurers, epic cinematographers, sometimes poetic storytellers and always, always, an inspiration! I sincerely hope that you continue to share those gifts, with the world, for many years to come--Jessica from Florida 🌞

[@petestack]

This channel has become truly special since you started to go where so few do and put together videos as good as this. The sequences of Uma among the ice towards the end are quite simply breathtaking!

[@sailingeden9866]

Great return on a 3K boat.

[@dakohli]

The ending of one thing is the beginning of another. I look forwards to where your journey take us.

[@charleskelly9042]

Both of you are the modern “Lin and Larry Pardey”. Just like them you are true sailors with proven experience and the pictures to prove you’ve done it. Just like them, your experiences will be shared with sailors across the globe, sitting on the edge of their chairs, appreciating your journeys. Congratulations on your expertise in filming, producing and sharing your sailing life that provides internal emotions for the viewer. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

[@PrecisionSailLoftVictoria]

Kika and Dan that was an amazing video. You guys and Uma look so cool with the glacier in the back ground! Keep sailing, Keep inspiring, you're killin it!

[@ericdelevinquiere9902]

Can you imagine the prehistoric microbial life trapped in that ice! Slow moving ice is not going to threaten your boat as long as you don’t get locked in and not moving fast. A few years from now, those small brown mountains will be all gone, melted away into the sea, adding to the water displacement. Fantastic show!

[@jeroenkok6589]

At first glance the scenery is beautiful and peacefull. Then slowly the place fills with life and is an incredible show of the power of nature. Uma is at the edge of what is possible for a sailboat. Your rendrering of that moment is close to perfection. Now that your sailboat has come out of the ice, what about a title : "calving uma", or "uma on the rocks" ?

[@suburban404]

21:44 The absolute best footage you've posted. Kudos.

[@hearsephantom]

Awesome shots of Uma coming out from behind the icebergs! That was great!!! thanks for sharing your adventures up north!

[@00708046]

You made Uma shine in that final drone clip. Leaning with water rushing past her bow and the drone circling the opposite way , she looked like she was flying .

[@johnlanigan5532]

Wow. I'm brimming with admiration, knocked out by the sheer beauty and soooo glad I can share a little of your adventure. Well done. For the record, both of you have been 'doing it justice' for years. Thank you so much. John

[@Ryan-nh3mt]

you guys have to have the best sailing travel channel out there. your videos really make me feel like I am there.

[@noahbruket5906]

I have tears in my eyes This was so beautiful!

[@SailingUma]

thank you Noah😊

[@ibrahimmoss]

Storytelling in seamless cinema. It takes one away - literally and metaphorically.

[@James-re6co]

That was a nice episode. Thanks for sharing your feelings there at the end. Watching the glacier footage I found myself tearing up as well. Maybe it's because Mother Earth is doing her thing and we're allowed to watch. That was cool. Definitely the most "intimate" I've ever gotten with a glacier. Thanks.

[@robertbeck4762]

EPIC!!! Con Grats on a sail to almost outer space...... on the water. When Pearson made your boat they never would have expected to see the boat at the far north end of cruising places. You guys have turned UMA into a moving home with all the amenities. And the quality of your videos are always a 10. Have a nice sail back to civilization.

[@SVTranquillity]

What a great episode! You guys are really hitting the right bells with your camera angles and techniques. You are a great inspiration to our camerawork.

[@kvslott]

Many places claim to be the end of the world, but this place is as close as it really gets. As Dan tells us a few hundreds miles further north and there is just ice. Thanks for the amazing footage.

[@SailingUma]

About 100nm further north we'd hit pack ice. 600nm after that we'd be at the North Pole. But that last 600 we'd have to do on foot ;)

[@matthughes6474]

​@@SailingUma you remind me of the feelings I had when I was in Prickly Bay; only I was only on a solo, year off, North Atlantic Circuit from UK. From Prickly Bay the compass would not point South or West again. I'd come to the end of string. From now on I would be on the way home. I wrote a book about my feelings in my small boat; but you convey so much more by integrating your feelings with the raw emotion of the scenery ; and then you add the practicalities of filming, and a dry humour to the sunset. Lovely! May the anticouch protect you

[@drewcama2488]

Wow once again the cinematography is amazing! Kika image of Uma sailing by the glacier and ice in front is an award winning image. literally/actually brought tears to my eyes.

[@nungurnerjetty4824]

Yes, tears in my eyes too. So many superlatives, and that awesome finish. A growing realisation that I have just seen something profoundly special. Very grateful.

[@garymaxwellian9085]

The episodes 280-289 are my absolute favorites. But you have to have seen 1-280 first.😁😁😁 The culmination of a great dream, so much hard work and learning. It's been a great build up to a dramatic climax..😁😁😁 I'm sure the Med and the Pacific beckon. Maybe a circumnavigation of Antarctica? It's so heartwarming. 😁😁😁

[@jliscorpio]

You two are so very blessed. What a life you lead! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@xpaulhayes]

Brings tears to my eyes

[@trickdawg5521]

WTF?? The last time I watched your video you were in a dock prepping the vessel. I thought " Yeah, yeah, another young narcissisistic couple wanting to vlog their first sailing trip. Now I see you guys here wherever that is with absolutely breathtaking footage of glaciers and dark northern sea. Wow! Respect.

[@lets_go_see_]

The two of you have been on such an awesome journey and the filming...... National Geographic might be calling you for some footage! When you first started this voyage i pointed out that you might want to have gone south but seeing what your plan was and to have it unfold, you definitely must be congratulated. So, cheers :)

[@markallen262]

Nice work at the center of the Realm we live in....

[@nonnjie]

This is absolutely breathtaking. The shots of the glacier... my heart!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Dang no strap on the camera in a dingy... yikes... Stunning shots guys. youve come so far in terms of quality. Remembering the first videos you put just when you where about to leave for the caribbean tour. Its so amazing seeing how high that bar of video and story telling quality is now.

[@sandralea4935]

Thanks for having the courage and the doing the hard work it takes to bring us all along on your spectacular adventures! Safe travels Uma & crew! ⛵🤍🏔️

[@IntoTheBlueCrew]

[@SumrSurf]

What an amazing experience guys , so inspirational !

[@christip20]

This is by far the best “series” I’ve ever seen & they just keep getting better with each video. It’s stressful being at the top of your game 24/7, even if nothing dangerous happens....... it’s the possibility, with rescue possibly hours or even days away. With that being said, Thank you for ALL you both do!🥰

[@super_slo]

I hope you ended up happy with what you captured, because the footage is gorgeous and striking. Amazing.

[@kasoro5261]

I want to say thank-you from deep in my heart for making all these wonderful, high-quality videos of my home country Norway! Your work is probably the best "Norway commercial" I have ever seen! Your positive attitude, love for nature and love of all other people is a true inspiration! I wish you both a happy Christmas and a wonderful new year of 2022! Greetings from a Norwegian living abroad

[@DcFQGg]

Over time you have created a number of magnificent episodes. For me this one is exceptional.

[@justincase5272]

"It is a challenging thing!" And yet, you're doing an absolutely terrific job!

[@zzzxxzzz3248]

Did you see how blue the ice is ? It's minerals ! The water from the glacier would make the best tea or coffee ! I'm glad smart sailors like yourselves are melting it for consumption !

[@westcountry_sailing]

Been watching you through the Caribbean, passing through my home waters in the UK and heading North. Just wanted to say congrats and thanks, I can't think of another sailing couple who could've done this justice. Bravo.
