One of the best qualities of this channel is the ambient sounds of water rushing against the boat, sails crackling in wind gusts, birds saying cheers! O to be young, pressing my fingers into the granite faces, stretching my limbs and pulling against gravity. Thank you Kika and Dan. More sailing, more mountains and of course Norwegian mocha coffee. Please.

[@TheAtma50]

For a boat that was in such bad condition when you bought her, to look at what you have done and where you have sailed it is mind boggling. I wonder did Dan & Kika of all those years ago ever think they would make it this far in this boat ? (My bet is they did !) Love your sailing content. Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!

[@basilroland]

sailing uma is one of the best vlog series ever . in one week i binged 200 episodes. love you guys.

[@RonaldSmit]

I love the Norway videos! The current you were sailing through was my view for about 2 months when I lived in one of the houses you can see at 9:28! I was there to study and observe harbour porpoises as part of my thesis. They really like the fast-moving current over there! Awesome to see you guys sailing through it! I have seen a lot of boats sailing through, but I can't remember any sailboats! In winter 2019 I revisited the place and made a youtube video about it:)

[@davidc6510]

The blue color of the water in contrast with the mountains frosted in snow with a beautiful pale blue sky with Uma making her way along the sea was mesmerizing. I watched the first few minutes 3 times to soak it all in. Pretty cool climbing adventure for sure. Another great Sailing Uma adventure! Cheers and thanks for sharing!

[@mumblbeebee6546]

I mutter to myself about Kika’s power to weight ratio being naturally advantageous but of course there is no denying that this lady was handed the talent for movement at the design stage - 6A on the first outdoor climb is 👏 ! Thank you both for letting us live vicariously through you!

[@Daniel-nt5gh]

She did 3/4 at the 6A, and we don't know if she knows that falling just once it is not doing the route but even so, it is outstanding indeed.

[@mikecrawley9167]

Uma even in close up looks brand new not 50 years old. Well Done!!!!

[@marcryvon]

Uma is an extraordinary boat. From a barely floating lump, our two young heroes here made it a high tech wonder. Imagine, for the cost of a somewhat ordinary couch as the base, it took them from the south to beyond the Artic circle !

[@helliviknow]

When you have KZbin browsing fatigue and hit the home button then see that Uma posted.... #win

[@ednarichardson4975]

I know right 😄

[@Erika-gm2tf]

This Norway footage is the best! I don't know where you guys are now, but I'm sure you're making the most of it. I'm catching up after losing track of you for a year or two. Hoping Norway goes on forever. Thanks for the heart expanding videos!

[@AnnInghamlife-goals]

Very good video. Loved the sailing bit. White water sailing!!! We do that in the Irish sea! Good course. Nice to see the chart and your reasons for your chosen route. Good bit of pilotage there. Enjoyed the climbing. Nice to see you out in the sunshine at last.

[@finstrand]

Tromsø was where my grandmother grew up back in the 1890´s, so I feel a particular tug watching your footage. Nice to see the spectacular Norwegian fjords from the vantage of your boat. Many thanks for your outstanding cinematographic sense. Always a pleasure to watch.

[@cestmoi1262]

First day of summer and Kika already has a beautiful tan. It isn't fair! It just is not fair!

[@mircat28]

Isn't some of that her natural color?

[@cestmoi1262]

@@mircat28 Come on, Miranda, all of it is her natural color. "Whities" can only achieve this tan by hours in the sun and Coppertone (and possible skin cancer). Kika is miles ahead of us.

[@tnhuckleberry01]

I can't help but to envy you two in a good way. Away from it all, at your own pace, all natural beauty of land and sea. The remote village's for extra companionship without all the drama of society today! You two have worked hard and some of the most intelligent people to watch enjoying the Adventures of Life.

[@LivinLaVidaGypsea]

People like them have inspired us to do the same. We are excited to start!

[@robkoci530]

You guys are flat out amazing. What you are doing is so different from the other sailing channels. Beautiful.

[@bdjm8595]

Love the sailing but it's fun when you include new friends and other activities as well, great episode as always!!!

[@robertpowell6892]

I love watching you guys actually sail instead of booting up a dirty diesel as soon as the wind goes ahead of the beam. Uma is looking lovely.

[@georgegilbert7347]

Yes. Everytime I watch some other sailing channel and they say "the wind died so we motor sailed", I think of Dan and Kika who sail all the time.

[@mfritch]

This is off topic and might be useful. I was cleaning up and a restoration project and came across about 4 -5 gallon buckets of very old, dense charcoal briquettes. I am moving soon so I decided to burn them in my wood stove. I am AMAZED at how well they burn! I throw about 25 into the stove and the burn slowly all day and keep the house very warm. You may want to see if you can find them in Norway. Again, another great video!

[@SailingUma]

Yes. Charcoal briquettes work great. Raw coal from the ground burns too hot.

[@lets_go_see_]

i sincerely feel that that part of the world owes you a debt of gratitude. You have really exposed the tourist attractions available. Stay positive ttfn

[@fxpthl]

You kids are amazing! As if sailing all over the world isn’t enough, here you are hiking and Then rock climbing for fun. You also seem to meet people very easily and join in with whatever they are into.

[@sailingtessbesssewfarnorth1746]

Hi guys, hope your Svalbard adventure was as good as ours, we had an amazing time. It’s been great watching your videos sailing north, as we went a different route mostly, we get to see some of the places we didn’t go to, and that’s great, and a little flash of Tess Bess in you video in Tromsø marina was cool, we also have a little flash of Uma in our video from Tromsø. Anyway guys, hope your settling in for winter somewhere nice, we are heading back to Shetland, looking forward to seeing how you found the Barents Sea, it was pretty epic for us, a tough trip even in a bigger boat. All the best from Sailing Tess Bess.

[@114TAI]

You two keep getting better with your video "steps". So much so it seems like you have a full production crew in the background.

[@saenole66]

The talk by the Viking expert was really interesting. Very good video and drone shots stunning. What a beautiful coastline!

[@epilz1978]

I watched aaaall your steps for the past 4 weeks and am finally up to date! I absolutely love your videos, what a great adventure you are on and you two are such lovable people! Thank you so much for sharing.😍

[@saraholivia1783]

Dear Kika, dear Dan! Just found your KZbinchannel some Days ago and so happy about it. You both really brighten up my Days of learning and studying. I sail away for a while during your Videos and been so impressed and touched by your Passion, Creativity and Curiousity and the Kindness that radiates through your Work! Thank you! Greetings from Germany.

[@carldb7374]

O what fantastic scenery, filmed for our pleasure! The dramatic backdrop of the mountain with Uma in front at 2:44, just perfect drone footage. Thank you.

[@00708046]

The scenery is so breathtaking ! Your skills to capture it are spot on !

[@victorywon1138]

I like you alls sail, the colors really pop out there on the ocean haha.

[@robertarnold1449]

Thank You! Thank You! It is nice to know that you can still find a great story and show on the tube. You two are the exception, please keep up your great work! We love you both!

[@jonathanleonard1152]

I understand that many places the forecast current direction is no longer current. Our lattes are made by a machine in the main reception hall on demand, at no cost.

[@13jnichols]

Love this coastal sail and the way you negotiated the complicated conditions in the narrows. Kika, great climb on a rare hot day in Norway. Today in Scottsdale it was 118!

[@marcryvon]

Man, as a Canadian of the Montreal, Québec region, I cannot imagine surviving 118°F. Yesterday, here, it was a record breaking temp of 31°C but with the humidity factor, 39°C. that's 102.2°F ! How do you do it ?? I realize that with 0% humidity, it's (more?) bearable, but even so ... ! 😱

[@13jnichols]

@@marcryvonThanks, Marc. The secret is to get up early, say 4 or 5 am and accomplish whatever you want to do. Temperatures are in the 70s or low 80s. Be done by 9:30 or 10 am. Then, stay indoors in AC. I am a gardener and do a lot of heavy work. I still sweat but shower up when I come in. I tend to eliminate hiking or biking when the temperatures climb into the 90s or above before I expect to finish a hike or bike ride. Thanks for your comment.

[@divekatdreaming]

Great episode! The scenery is spectacular! Kika, as a fellow vertically challenged person, know that when you climb, it is harder for you than for Dan. It shows up more in the harder rated climbs like 6 and above. He is taller, so he can easily reach for holds that you have to lunge for. He may be able to reach a solid hold, while you have to pinch a smaller one. Great job on those climbs!

[@irishseadogoz]

Gee, I’ve gotten to just love you guys and your videos, you have this aura of calm, peace, love and tranquility. You have become dear friends I have never met. Keep on keeping on. ❤️ From an old Irish Seadog, living in Oz. ☘️🇦🇺

[@CacheCanada]

Wow! Very cool. That is what travelling is for. Adventure where you can find it. Well done.

[@donnarocchio936]

You never fail to deliver. Your ability to capture the most majestic locations, the scenes take my breath away and transport to your location. You have a wonderful gift and you so loving share it with us. Words can not express how you lift up a persons spirits especially when they are facing some incredible difficulties. Thank you!

[@rustymacneil3227]

Livin' the life kids!!! Canuck represent!!

[@steves524]

What a great day out, the Norwegian s are very hospitable to you both.😀

[@Sommers234]

What beautiful scenery and I love your great descriptions of your sailing. The comments section speaks to how much people love you guys.

[@CraigDantoin]

Geeze Dan, I had to grab my sunglasses when you unveiled those guns, pretty sure you're whiter than the snow!

[@jerrymiller276]

It's nice when the buoys are leaning in the direction you are going!

[@kristaready8812]

Norway is beautiful and you capture it so well! Great job guys.

[@travislibby9930]

Each episode I say to myself, "This is the best looking episode yet", then you make a better one.

[@jimjenjazz]

Nearly 50 years ago I visited Tromso, the years have been better to the city than me! :-) Great video, I really enjoy your stuff, thank you.

[@christophlambpie]

Much love guys.

Here's to warmth. Peace & LOVE. Thx 4 sharing.

[@michaelcanto6175]

Awesome way to celebrate the weather and season

[@attila.turkoglu]

İt is cold but Norway is a very beautiful country and Fjords are awesome. Be healthy, safe and in serenity.

[@hotsauce1646]

It's you guys that inspired me to buy a sailboat and sail . I live here in Aruba the caribbean and i work in gardening ( love it ) . Plus living on a boat and sail around the island is a great idea to look forward to . I will look and put some money away to do this . Thanks to you guys . This gave me hope after all that has been going on . Now i will do some sailing classes and rules and regulations for sailing and shipping. Then i will get most of the stuff i need onboard , generator windturbine solarpannals etc etc. And put a quarter of the costs of the boat on savings the rest i loan from the bank ( i have good credit with my bank so big chance they will say yes) . And than look for a nice boat i can sail alone. And live in. Thank you guys for this i needed this.

[@maggieteusch6221]

Just found your channel tonight and wow, so far have watched hours on end and kind of jumping around. I get motion sickness so easily, so I could never do this, plus terrified of sharks lol... I shall live vicariously through you two young pups! How often do you get to visit your family's?

[@sallyanngetzen4195]

You Two Beautiful Souls.......are Awesome! keep on enjoy your Earth School Adventures! Amen xoxoxo.....

[@daveamies5031]

Dan and Kika, When make it to the southern hemisphere visit Brisbane, anchor in the Brisbane river near Kangaroo point and you can go rock climbing about 10 meters from your boat :) something for the bucket list since you've been crossing bucket list items off, time to make the list longer 👍🏼

[@tollertollertoller]

Love watching your adventures. You guys know how to enjoy life.

[@richardharrold4357]

My daily dose of Uma. Great vid as usual. Thanks for sharing.

[@cosmoslogic9088]

Epic job guys love the music your info and the rock climbing brings back some memories for me big time Thanks you guys you are awesome to follow not matter what you do.

[@mackfisher4487]

You guys make sailing look easy, and now rock climbing.

[@svravenflintlock7526]

What a cool sail! To deal with the current and guessing when slack tide actually hits you, just fun. Love the sail through the scenery and the way you captured it.

[@donnakawana]

Beautiful country wonderful kind people beautiful scenery and stunning stuff all around you thanks for sharing your life with us ✌🏻💗☺️❣️

[@johnkeegan6646]

Great photography and editing! Well done!💥💥💥🥇

[@MaShcode]

Rock on. Other worldly scenery. Speechless. Words can’t...

[@SteifWood]

Spent a lot of time in Tromsø and Kvaløya with my youth gf and found that the rocks at Hella (@10:13 ) was/is one of the best shore fishing spot in whole of North Norway. Another fav 'sport' we fancied was throwing dart with plenty of cold Mack beers and dried cod accompanied with the warmth from the midnight sun.

[@edwinchelliah9987]

Finally caught up with you guys! Been binge watching for awhile from the very start of Uma’s adventure and will simply have to wait for your awesome videos weekly then :)

[@dennislyons3718]

Every time I watch one of your episodes it always brightens my day thank you very much love you guys

[@deanie3246]

Love that we are watching The Summer Wall on a sailing channel. Well done guys, just a brilliant experience for you both on a beautiful summers day and thank you for sharing it. The editing is fantastic as well. I watch your episodes and I feel like they are only a couple of minutes in duration as I’m completely engrossed and before I know it the episode is finished and I’m left looking forward to the next one. Thank you for really showcasing a journey to its fullest. 💔 👩‍🦼❤️‍🩹 broken hearted I can’t do it myself however so very happy to see it through your eyes.

[@BohemianBeatster]

Another groovy adventure as always. The rock climbing was ripping.

[@martijnb5887]

Anywhere in world you can go climbing... Says, Kika, who has been in the Netherlands last year. But both the sailing trip and the hike were magnificent.

[@VonBluesman]

Beautiful professional footage, excellent video.

[@soloflight75]

Another great adventure!!! I love your life. How blessed you are to find a great life so young.

[@MrJackPuddle]

Nice, a channel that now also shows the rock climbing crags a liveaboard yacht can take u to 👍

[@johnny5240]

Dan, you're so lucky to have such a wonderful girl. I just smile as soon as I see her.

[@robertperry6048]

I think i will add Norway to our bucket list.

[@orion_13]

Out of all the sailing content I watch yours is my favorite.

[@quefaitloulou2334]

Moka ! What a great idea ! Thanks ☺️

[@whitneylake2107]

What a beautiful place for climbing. I did not find a coffee mug in the merch store. I know there must be several. Thank you

[@bacca71]

Some really great wide-angle shots on the sail - very dramatic. Nicely done!

[@paulfredrickson2181]

Beautiful scenery guys.

[@smurph4959]

Beautiful place! I'm still in the states on the binge where Dan was fixing the anchor motor thingy ... Its mad going from the binge sequence to Norway. I've only been to southern Norway so really can't wait to go up north ☀🌊☀

[@hegetjelta6624]

[@stewpeas8092]

This is the definition of love

[@peterabild1123]

You guys are Fantastic

[@andreachinaglia5804]

6a is not so difficult for a climber, but for a person that tries to climb for the first time it is something very very good, you are a strong woman in good shape, and even if you have still a lot to improve, your body was too far from the rock wall so too much of your weight was hanging on the hands instead of being supported by the feet, you are a natural climber, if you would have chose the mountain as your play ground instead of the see you would have done really great things. Well done Kika!

[@sailinggreenpearl2571]

Such an amazing place, great video. Love the furling spinaker. Your camera and editing is lowkey amazing.

[@coachfernslotboom8088]

Incredible sailing and Norway is spectacular! Impressive that you are aiming that far north along the coast. Norway’s wind and water are always changing and seem to be u predictable

[@cfield1468]

I just love watching your adventures 🇺🇸

[@cathrynmcpartland1752]

Trying to describe Dan to my hubby I said …. “If the USNavy requires a repair to an aircraft carrier, Call Dan.” Kika? Just when you get used to Kika in many layers of cloths, she flies with her silks or climbs a rock face in scanty clothing. Scanty got his attention! 😳

[@Cardinal-Roy-Davis]

Oh my, what a beautiful place. Thank you so much for recording your journey.

[@JeffJensen55]

That’s real sailing. You don’t motor through, you wait for the wind! You guys seem to become masters at whatever you pursue.

[@tammy6992]

Oh that was good good view I like seeing how you worked with the wind and the current not resorting to the motor or at least I didn’t hear you acknowledge the motor but I don’t think you used it that was great

[@Dave-pf7yc]

Amazing scenery & photography. Great video. 👍

[@pixelmountainstudios]

I sure wish you was into landscape photography. I would love to get a book of the places you have visited. Such amazing views. It would be an instant success. But I guess it would take away from you just enjoying the trips and your hands are full of creating videos. Love your channel.

[@SailingUma]

We're starting to collect some of our images. We have some for sale/download on our website, and we may try to get a coffee table book or calendar together at some point, among our other 6 fulltime jobs.

Great vlogs , very enjoyable to watch guys. You show so much actual sailing using the currents and wind to help you along your journey! The speed sailing reminds me so much of black flag video game 👍

Rock climbing has change a lot since I first learned it in the 1960"s . Love your channel. Pure sailing.

[@michaelfidanza6176]

Way to go to you both. Especially Kika...I first went rock climbing in Skagway Alaska. I have a fear of heights and I was 46 at the time. I went first and after I got over the fears, I concentrated on scaling the wall. I was a little scraped up, but loved the adventure!

[@timothyschanuth3197]

Can't wait till I get my first boat . I can bring my tool bag that I make my living with anyone on the coast need any electro mechanical . I.e HVAC , APPLIANCES or anything in general that you have that needs fixed to help me get by day to day Im ready to sail .

[@jeffsteinmetz7188]

Definitely climb with backdrops like that. Eye candy!

[@stknmggs1788]

Is there anything Kika cannot do? How great was that?! So impressed.
