Plans Change when you live on a Sailboat- Sailing Uma [Step 186]

[@laurentbenoit9080]

Yes, it's the "one year later post" but after binge watching 186 episodes, I have to say your video editing skills are way better than many professionals. Your videos are well balanced between landscapes, sunsets, activities and yourselves. Your comments are not boring and in the end, you're more interesting than some documentaries available on dedicated TV Channels... So, for that, just thank you

[@lesstoddard6779]

The love you two have for each other is all over your faces!

[@billbaker9623]

Forgive me if I have already said this, but don't take minute of any of this for granted. You are making precious unique memories and allowing all of us to share your adventures. Thank you for a beautiful adventure. Fair winds for crossing the pond.

[@bertski60]

kika's turning canadian already....apologizing for making all the traffic wait while they went under that bridge. ....and it looks like she enjoyed a beer and clam juice. bravo! anyways....your stuff just gets better and better....more polished...every time.

[@wilfdarr]

Ha ha I was thinking the same thing.

[@porta7340]

If your coming to the UK come now give it another month or 2 it will be soooo cold! Best to come here between June to September. Hope you enjoy your stay here in the UK. Make a video of you crossing the pond.

[@bob_._.]

Those drone shots were almost surreal - full spinnaker, flat water, no wake.

[@GoldcoastSurfCam]

Just recently discovered the channel and loving it. You have a unique way of post editing, makes me feel like im there.

[@rogers53]

The flowers and the beer made the hike worth it.

[@didriketholm6852]

If you like this kind of sailing the Norwegian fjords will blow you away!! Living vicariously through you 2. Thank you!

[@TheLlidD]

You should come visit the Pacific North West around Vancouver Island Didrik!

[@SteifWood]

Agree. I suggest after Iceland/Greenland you go to North Norway and then travel south. Tromsø - the Paris of the north - would be a good starting point, though further east you find North Cape, northernmost point in Europe, and even Murmansk in Russia which could be interesting. Anyways, south of Tromsø there is the Lofoten archipelago. If this lake took the breath away, you gonna suffocate severely there. And further south, all the way past Bergen, you will find thousands of islands and bays with land/seascapes and fishing villages with people and culture that are on most bucket lists where/what to see before you lower the sails for good.

[@robertdeland3390]

I suggest the Chilean fjords. Spectacular.

[@didriketholm6852]

@@robertdeland3390 I've heard that the Fjords in Chile are also spectacular. Its somewhere I've love to visit

[@garycolemanml]

@@TheLlidD indeed. Desolation Sound has the hottest ocean water, north of Baja Mexico

[@bertneutel7746]

B'ras D'Or and the Highland Village are great. We were there two years ago, and we spent a whole day in the village. Many of the buildings have been re-located / rebuilt there from other places on Cape Breton Island, from where the Scottish settlers built them years ago. A wonderful people that are glad to welcome all of us.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Love B'ras D'Or but haven't check out the Village yet. Sounds amazing!

[@donaldhawkes5226]

Engaged what vlog I miss " congratulations"🤩😍😁

[@gangstagrandma]

Canada's ocean playground sure is beeeaautiful. Oh, and it's Bah-deck!!!

[@portfoliofotoz]

Bak-bak-Baddeck! You know . . . like a chicken!

[@creatingmemorieswithmike4617]

Just wait til you hit the Norwegian west coast. You'll be AMAZED!!!

[@Dr.J_theCPA]

Sailing is like life, you end up sailing in beautiful places but you must leave to continue your journey. This time stopping calm is usually has a very robust opposite side filled with unbelievable energy, waves, wind and sprays of Sea water.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Not sure if the Patreon likes come over here but I figure the more likes on your videos the better. Thanks again for the great videos and the view of Canada's beautiful lake.

[@Pelican5077]

North Channel and Georgian Bay of Lake Huron. Best cruising in the world. Mid May through end of September. Then head through the rivers to Gulf. You won’t regret the time it takes to get there.

[@sjurgabriel]

You are so welcome if you end up visiting Norway!

[@andrevlen9030]

Heck yeah! Norwegian coast is rugged but breathtaking.

[@FighterFred]

Nice to see a young couple doing their own thing, that life style is not for everyone and demands a lot. Cudos!

[@davidlevang1]

“ we can’t wait for them to open because we have to leave Monday” - shirt says in no hurry. You’re giving me mixed signals here ;) 8:30

[@TylerRippel1]

I'm a lake sailor (with a Pearson 31-2) on a tiny lake and often long for bigger waters, but there is something so peaceful and calming about being out there, even if you can sail only from 12-6pm :)

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

We're up here in the lake as well and we NEVER want to leave! Wish we had discovered lake sailing sooner!

[@point29]

The shot of the Uma on the lake at sunset is awesome.

[@robertadamsmetaldetecting6324]

🔥 episode! Kikas editing keeps getting better. You guys actually sail your boat. That is why I Love watching your productions!

[@FromThePrairies]

Welcome to Nova Scotia in summer. I too was shocked at how hot it was. Hopefully one day you'll be able to come back and do it proper justice. Oh - and go to Newfoundland!

[@jamesbond9873]

Beautiful video especially her picking flowers 💐

[@Kyldrake]

Just noticed that the video quality is just exceptional! I love your channel so much. ❤️

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

@@sailingavocet Agree!

[@phuot1]

That episode was so relaxing....Have fun crossing the Atlantic.

[@davidc6510]

That spinnaker is beautiful - great video! Fair Winds Uma.

[@marylousherman5471]

Late summer wildflower bouquet from the north...lovely!

[@faircompetition1203]

Lots of sailing like that on lakes . Winds are somewhat seasonal and are stronger in the spring and fall . Lots of lake effect winds near the shores .

[@khyvich]

Touching, y'all. You have turned life into art. Thank you for sharing.

[@bobkd5fjd823]

Really enjoy you two lovebirds, so made for each other!

[@barbroevanderlindquist4128]

It is sow funny with your bukett of wild flowers. ...a month ago you could have picked almost the same arts here in the south of Sweden! Nice video! BarbroSweden

[@cfeigel]

Spinaker at sunset! What a life! Also, Iceland is achingly beautiful in the sping! Go Uma!

[@busog97641]

That was the most peaceful video you have ever produced, and I love it.🥰

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Thank you 😍

[@johnkeegan6646]

Slowest boat on the lake. Great video! Best of luck and fair winds in the North Atlantic! Bon voyage!

[@kayjohnston779]

Its called GHOSTING. LOVE IT!!! LOVE YOU GUYS.Good for yolu...dont rush. Kay J.

[@billb.6109]

This video was excellent,....we loved the drone shots, and your music mix. Well done! Safe travels.

[@robfraley4210]

I was noticing that Kika’s French/Island accent has disappeared 3:05. By this point...!! 😳🤭😎 The Boat/Dream House looks so Beautiful at the dock, and I bet that Flower arrangement smelt 9:30. Pretty darn good in the boat too...

[@juans3728]

The young lady has great taste in selecting the right colors of flowers, i thought she was also going to grab some ferns.

[@Racerman27410]

Very nice drone shots on the lake. It was a mirror!

[@innismack9398]

Thank you, beautiful videos. I'm from Cape Breton and my father preached in that Highland Village Church. I have sailed and know the Bras D'Or well. Safe journey across the pond!

[@gailalbers1430]

i definitely get a lake feeling from this episode ( binge watching )

[@tomwilliams8675]

Nice camera work with the sunset lighting up your faces at the end of the video. 👍👍 The spinnaker full open but the boat looked like it was standing still in the drone footage was beautiful. That should be made into a full size poster. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

agree!!!

[@garymaxwellian9085]

Wow! I didn't know you guys are engaged. Congratulations! 💕😁

[@PEI_Guy]

I'm just doing my covid isolation thing and watching some of your older videos and saw that you probably sailed past my brother-in-law's back yard in Big Bras d'or Cape Breton. I've been to the Highland Village.

[@ronjessome5232]

Just so you know,m you were docked where the Bluenose was birthed, Too bad you didn't know that you could have walked the site just minus people explaining stuff, You are right about the fantastic scenery!!

[@kwik2hear915]

A slow boat, is better than no boat. Sail on!!!!!!!

[@yeelinli1]

Great video , beautiful scenery , Fair winds and safe journey across the Atlantic

[@kamilowski6295]

In 2:30 it's look like on our polish lakes in "Mazury". Great!!!

[@G11713]

Your adventurous life and its meticulous presentation is a delicious spectacle. Thanks. I await your next installment :)

[@billb2176]

Seen a lot of spinnakers over the years but that is amazing in ?1 kt of breeze !!!!!

[@stevebranch7371]

If you ever get back to Canada sail in the St. Lawrence River to Lake Ontario. This is part of the great loop. Once in Lake Ontario head north into the Trent Severin Waterway . 240 miles of beautiful scenic canals. 2 lakes along the way 42 locks ending in Georgian Bay and on to Chicago and down the next canal system into the Mississippi river to the gulf of Mexico. It takes 1 year to do the Great loop for one full circle. We live at the east end of Rice Lake in a town called Bailieboro. Would love to see you here. Steven and Georgina

[@worldwide029]

So looking forward to seeing your journey to Europe!

[@johnhayes8666]

My home, I've learned to swim there and grew up on that lake.

Watch the storm guys be safe!

It's always sunny and beautiful on the Bras d'Or 🌞. Glad you think it is beautiful too.

[@cyberfunkmeister]

I find every episode great. I always have that smile throughout till the end. Can't help to notice though, they rarely reply to those who post. Probably spends their time with paying patreons.

[@leobard]

Or sailing

[@cyberfunkmeister]

@@leobard well, they drop a line or few when they are uploading or on line.

[@algamble]

And btw thank you. Your video 2 years ago introduced me to The Impossible Dream and for the past 2 summers they have been stopping in my home port of Newburyport to give local developmentally and physically challenged individuals the chance to experience the freedom of sailing. Deb Mellen had just left you in NYC and we spoke of the connection.....hundreds of people here in town have benefited as a result of your beautiful video introduction.....a collective thank you!

[@anneprincingmain2702]

Your music is so fresh and fitting to your videos it gives me chills. Loving my binge!! Part of me doesn't want to catch up but I do so I can be a present part of your journey.

[@PaulusPHM]

Your traveling style is a nice destination.

[@johnreuteman2724]

Terrific. video. When I was on Cape Breton Island I had a few days of good weather but then hurricane Bob messed up all my plans. There was a lot more wind on Bra d'or lake those days. Fair winds on the big jump.

[@belcacique]

I’m as always delighted to see your videos! Have a good time in Europe!

[@JoseMariaOliveira]

I am enjoying Uma Sailing more and more each episode. I loved the soundtrack of this one. Where will you be during the next winter? What will you be doing?

[@englishmaninfrance661]

I'm sure that Windex is great , but it looks so fragile. Bras d'or - Golden Arms in French. Nice flowers Kika . MJSailing just crossed to Ireland & are currently either heading for , or in Scotland

[@me9061]

Been following this channel for ages and gotta say, the editing has gotten EVEN BETTER, the filming, EVEN BETTER, the music as always, amazing. You guys have made your channel just as interesting now as in the early days but polished. Really enjoy it.

[@jay-2556]

So glad you are going east when almost all the other channels are in a mad dash to go west into the Pacific. Good choice Uma!

[@ronh5613]

Thank you for sharing

[@frankegan6049]

Just missed crossing tacks with you guys. Passed St Peters Friday 30 Aug bound from Quebec to Halifax. Love the Bras d'Or!

[@barjay27]

Just start watching your episodes. Am seasoned sailor and had one day trip on a Pearson 35 from Tortola to Peter Island and back. Owner was a retired police constable who sailed his boat from England to the BVI’s. That was over 35 years ago. Enjoying your adventures. Are you still sailing and making the videos? My name is Barney.

[@siggiberndsen6936]

Im Icelandic Im so excited about seeing your trip there. Im so enjoying your journey, be safe happy and well..

[@duro277]

Super jealous of you guys lifestyle! Have fun crossing the ATLANTIC! I’ll be watching along the way

[@joshkleifgen6525]

Looked it up. The lake has a different tide cycle that the Atlantic which can make the water higher on either side, at different times. Double gate lock is supposedly the only one like it in North America.

[@AwakeInAnacortes]

You guys are awesome. Looking forward to seeing your European Adventure.

[@DjangoLionheart]

You padlocked your boat at the wharf in Iona. That really wasn't necessary, but you didn't know. Too bad you missed the The Highland Village. It is definitely not Viking, it is Scottish. Highlanders settled here following the clearances, carving out a new future for themselves - this is New Scotland (Nova Scotia). The Acadians, who settled here before that and are still here, do have some Viking ancestry amongst them - this all is part of the Celtic roots here in Cape Breton. You will find Viking evidence if you get to L'Anse aux Meadows on the north west coast of Newfoundland. Congrats once again on a stellar video series, and an inspiration to many sailors and hopefuls.

[@Penwiggle]

Can't wait for you to get to England! Would love to be able to meet you in person, love your channel. And sailing to Iceland is a bucket list item for me. You do it first and show me how. ;) xx

[@arpeland]

Binging your channel - loving it. You should run through the great lakes if you are heading back to Canada after your European Tour!

[@TheOlandex]

Great video as usual. Just in case nobody has mentioned this yet, it's pronounced Bah-deck, not Bad-ek. Also, Saint John is in New Brunswick. In Newfoundland it's St. John's - very important distinction. I haven't sailed the Bras D'Or lake, but with any luck will try to get there. Glad you guys had such a good experience. Cheers!

[@dougschnelzer9168]

Love the stories you tell in your videos, love who you are, and love the decisions you make!

[@TraneFrancks]

Uma on that flat water with the spinnaker out is quite the sight.

[@hyime69]

Looking forward to you guys coming to UK Shores again but this time for Longer would like to meet up with you both as I am sure there are a lot more people would from UK so have a fun Crossing and looking forward to the VLOG's of UK

[@mikeconery7182]

I have a Pearson 10m with the same forward placement of the helm. My wife who is also quite short complains that she can't see to steer. I can't wait to share your solution of standing on the cockpit seats. Great idea.

[@keebearfull]

stunning spinnaker gentle beauty! Happy the north is warm and welcoming for you. BTW: If you were to do 3 years of the St. Larry Seaway and the Great Lakes you would find it a sweet swift 3 years. And you could winter with us here in West Michigan! I'm excited to journey with you to the UK and areas there about. Scandinavia should be given in fair due, it's beautiful in summer! [and you could visit Brian and Kazza and their tiny baby in Gotland!]

[@kz4506]

I would be watching North Atlantic wind patterns a month earlier to see what the currents are doing and pick a gap , we did it and the patterns change quickly we found going wide gave us off the nose winds wich made a huge difference on the boat an power but good luck and safe trip

[@julianbelmarsh]
