    I have several psychological issues from trauma and tragedy. I have seen the worst of life and I struggle it seems daily. But then I find people like you Kika and Dan. Your life smells like a field of wild flowers and the sound of a precious beating heart. You guys calm me with your beauty and I love you both for this. Thank you!

      Living aboard a small sailboat is very therapeutic. Very healing. It's so in-your-face. Its such a real lifestyle. So alive. And so doable for nearly anyone. That's the thing. If you want this its not that difficult. It is very reachable.

    The amount of work it takes to maintain and constantly improve a boat is nuts, and then on top of that you put in the time to produce videos like this, its really impressive. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

  • @MrJerobona
    @MrJerobona Před 4 lety +17

    I have been watching you guys since day 1, seeing this 3K$ wreck looking like a million $ yacht is amazing! Your talent in taste and craftsmanship is genius! Congratulations, and can't wait to follow your big crossing! Thanks for all your hard work, including all the filming, editing, and so much more "behind the scene" work !

  • @DowneastThunderCreations
    @DowneastThunderCreations Před 4 lety +96

    I think this video is perhaps the best one yet in terms of video quality, editing, and production. You two keep improving constantly. I'm happy you had a safe voyage to New York City without mishap, and eagerly awaiting your next video. Can't get enough of Uma!

  • @victweezy
    @victweezy Před 4 lety +4

    'Merica! WTC 1 and The Statue of Liberty in the same frame brought a tear to my eye. It brings back so much sadness, but reminds me how beautiful the future is. Hope you enjoy New York.

  • @davidkoenig1394
    @davidkoenig1394 Před 3 lety

    A few days ago I commented on the Royal Navy video, let you know how much I enjoyed your channel. The 10 percent of your videos I hadn't seen were mainly in this group. Obviously I missed Uma's most transformative history since before hitting water, such as woodburner, sails, dodger and deck paint. Just amazing!

  • @lrrcew
    @lrrcew Před 4 lety +15

    That Moana song is my 4yr old daughters FAVORITE song to sail to! She screams it at the top of her lungs..... Kika sings it pretty well too!

  • @daniseakey6773
    @daniseakey6773 Před 3 lety

    New York never looked as good as it does from Uma.... plus a sunset that is unequaled! great video

  • @vatansalvery
    @vatansalvery Před 4 lety

    This type of ‘sailing’ videos are always about a dream life in the oceans. I was wondering if any of those ‘sailors’ didn’t experience any struggle or bad times at all. They always look like they are very happy and sailing in a boat in the open waters is a piece of cake. You are liying!

    • @SailingUma
      @SailingUma  Před 4 lety

      We choose our weather vary carefully to avoid nasty weather if we can. But if you watch all our videos, we show plenty of the ugly aide too. It’s a lot of hard work but we still enjoy ever bit of it.

    @rynflynn Před 4 lety +42

    multiple cownose rays are called fevers. We call them bat rays down here in Tampa. Tampa Bay has the highest concentration of cow nose rays in the world (and hammerhead sharks which eat rays)

    • @WilliamPozo
      @WilliamPozo Před 4 lety +1

      I read recently that shark populations are down significantly (large asian country hunting them for the fin) and these rays are causing significant damage to grass bottoms and certain estuary's.

    @owenpotter2459 Před 4 lety

    Big points for Dan getting that "Kika is beautiful" comment in there. Well done mate! Uma is looking really good. Amazing what you guys have done with her since you bought her.

  • @petertorrey236
    @petertorrey236 Před 4 lety +62

    Uma looks fantastic...what a job you two have done to your yacht. Bravo!

  • @PK-wd1wt
    @PK-wd1wt Před 4 lety

    Yup, as others have noted those are Cownose Rays and they come pretty far up into the bay to mate and give birth. I've seen them above Annapolis. They come into the bay because of plentiful food sources. In spite of substantial set backs, public policy has helped the Bay make some progress in saving the rockfish and crab populations which are good indicators of the overall health of the Bay. Lately we've seen a lot more rays and dolphin in the upper bay. Something that was a rarity just 10 years ago.

  • @niellangner3668
    @niellangner3668 Před 4 lety

    UMA looks transformed and happy. Reminds me of when a scruffy rescue dog find fantastic new owners that bring out the best in the dog. You guys are a beautiful couple and I really enjoy your weekly videos. Keep up the good work?

  • @tomriley5790
    @tomriley5790 Před 3 lety +4

    I love Kika's socks :-)! So nice that you got to Sail Uma out of Chesapeake bay - kind of completing the circuit! Plus going to New York, if I remember from your memories episode you planned on moving there - mission accomplished :-)! Most amazing way to arrive and a fantastic spot to anchor!

  • @GordLamb
    @GordLamb Před 4 lety

    As if anyone needs another reason to love sailing downwind ... now you have the panoramic hammock!

  • @whiterabbit2786

    Nice "new" shoes at 11:09. Pretty sure this is the first time we have seen Dan in shoes in months.

  • @weidesvideo

    Cow nose rays. Seen frequently on the Chesapeake

  • @DeafDalmatian
    @DeafDalmatian Před 4 lety +1

    Awe, I love cow nose rays! If you ever get to feed them, they are like puppies! I used to dive for the national aquarium and we had a big exhibit full of rays once and it was my favorite but they phased it out and put in black tip reef.

  • @theressafortier
    @theressafortier Před 4 lety +8

    I've been watching since step one. I'm not a sailor, but would love to be someday. Thank you for sharing your life with us! You guys do an awesome job filming and editing! 🤜🤛⛵

  • @Cedandkikisailing
    @Cedandkikisailing Před 4 lety +1

    Best way to visit a city is the Uma way....sail in. You get a much better perspective of the city. Well done you two!

  • @mattevans-koch9353
    @mattevans-koch9353 Před 4 lety +2

    Thank you so much for the night view of New York City. Never been there but to see the city from the water at night is amazing. And Kika, you are Muana!

    Amazing pictures of the Statue of Liberty.

  • @Gottenhimfella
    @Gottenhimfella Před 4 lety

    If you ever have to snuff your kite when you get caught out by a sudden squall, the best way I've found is to leave it sheeted tight, and for one person to run to the bow and spike the tack downhaul snapshackle, upon which the other person, standing further aft just in front of the lee shrouds, hauls the sock down smartly.
    If shorthanded it's good to rig a spike line ahead of time, from one chainplate up to the bow and through the spike aperture, than back to the other chainplate. Then you can trip it with your foot from the aft location and haul.

  • @MojoFromMempho
    @MojoFromMempho Před 4 lety +1

    Cool pass under the Verrazano! I've driven over it many times when I lived in Brooklyn.

  • @Steph19765
    @Steph19765 Před 4 lety +2

    Guys...I sense a wholeness feeling wrapped around you as you drop the anchor on the Statue of Liberty. The editing conveys that well. what an achievement. Been following you guys since day 1. For your future passages ...and future inconic moorings , can we expect a similar drone view arround London Bridge and Eiffel Tower both reachable from sea ?

  • @iamvalerio79

  • @jgsailingpast60
    @jgsailingpast60 Před 4 lety +3

    so glad you had such a sweet sail to the city! i moved back here after living in the country for 10 years and its been hard to get used to the fact that it NEVER gets dark here 😆 btw, your ray encounter aroused my curiosity..a group of mantas is called a squadron and even better, a group of stingrays is called a fever.

  • @michaelfidanza6176
    @michaelfidanza6176 Před 4 lety

    Dan & Kika, I loved hearing your impression of sailing under the Verrazano Bridge, into New York Harbor, and having the NY skyline as your back yard. I grew up in Jersey on the cliffs opposite Grant’s Tomb / 125th street and my reality is different. It’s very refreshing to hear people come to this area and taking it all in and experiencing the awe of one of the major capitals of the world. It’s a place I just call “the city”. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

  • @mikejones1957

    Just plain COOL! . . . the final harbor scene, yes, but the whole vid: 1. the great look of Lady Uma her lines bedazzled with spiff new paint job 2. her sweet new 360^ view dodger and 3. the newly found hammock. Thanks, you two for video magic!

  • @jordanbaus5305

    Man, you guys have done so much to Uma that I marvel every time I see her now. The same with New York. I'm originally from Brooklyn and when I see NY I can't believe how beautiful it is.

  • @andrewmakrides8128
    @andrewmakrides8128 Před 4 lety

    See if you can dock at Chelsea Pier for a few hours then go to the Chelsea Market, incredible collection of food shops and restaurants. Also at 23rd st and 5th ave go to Eataly, you wont regret. Across the street is Madison Sq Park, go to the original Shack Shack. From there it's a nice walk going west on 23rd st to the Highline Park. Go to Rockefeller Plaza at 7:00 am, wear Sailing Uma T-shirts, and get on camera during The Today Show. They pan the crowd coming back from commercials, talk to a camera man, they can zoom in on couples in the crowd. The members of the Sailing Uma Nation would be stoked.

    For a period of 16 weeks, when I was 11, my Dad & I lived apart from my Mum & Sister, while Dad & I started our new job & school (respectively) in Bristol, commuting back to Kent on Friday night, then back to Bristol on Sunday night. I used to call the light pollution "Sunset over Swindon", as I once got confused by it. I'm 46 now & remember those times so vividly - thanks for showing us the "Sunset over New York"!

  • @geraldtonjjeeper
    @geraldtonjjeeper Před 4 lety

    That was a great video......the continuity, the sailing and the uplifting stars excited by their arrival! Excellent! The statue of Liberty made me think of the millions of migrants who have arrived by sea and saw the same view! Loved it!

  • @MCASDI
    @MCASDI Před 4 lety

    Thanks for reviving a good memory; Seeing the rays in Chesapeake bay from the masthead of a gaff rigged schooner. Then later, sailing alone (under power), while everyone was asleep, through Hell's Gate up the East River and into Long Island Sound. Memories from 1963 or 64. Too bad I didn't have someone like Kika to share it with. Fair winds to you.

  • @captainmarkgray8856
    @captainmarkgray8856 Před 4 lety +3

    I love your shirt 2:02 . I have seen many people get into (avoidable) trouble (and sometimes even die at sea and on shore) ALL because they were in a hurry! Example; People who had to get to work on Monday so they sailed away from the protection of an island in a storm and never make it to work or anywhere else ever again,,, type stuff. Yes, I love your shirt! Just make sure you live by that rule.

  • @matthewwarren7252
    @matthewwarren7252 Před 4 lety

    This would have to be one of your best videos yet. So good to see you both going north off the normal path and being true adventures vs cruising the Med, Caribbean and South Pacific. Sailing into NY city must be a bucket list item ticked. The boat also looks amazing at the moment! All the hard work is paying off and now you can totally start reaping some of the rewards for your hard work!

    @scyz2807 Před 4 lety +4

    Hi Guys! I was wondering when your episodes would catch up to your visit to NYC. Now I know! : - ) And the last couple minutes of the video fit perfectly with the view from my kayak as, on one Saturday a few weeks ago, I made a valiant effort to paddle over to Brooklyn. The view of the back of the Statue of Liberty is still very clear in my memory. Starting in Liberty Park in New Jersey the statue is VERY prominent but also faces away from you. Your next Step should be interesting. Until then, this is Captain SNAFU signing off. ; - )
