Better Than The Bahamas - Sailing Uma [Step 236] 

Oh yes ! In these times of me, me, me young ones and careless milleniums😝, Kika and Daniel are a breeze of fresh air. So talented, imginative and focused, they are a joy to watch. Their parents have all the rights to be proud of their beautiful kids.👌 No couch but no slouch either ! ❤️

Very well said & the cinematography & editing just keeps getting better and better!

Another one of your excellent videos. You are both talented producers and editors.

@@marcryvon Why do you put down Millennials? (by the way you didn't even spell it right) Why do you judge them as lazy and no good? I am 56 years old and I raised two of them. One will in a short time be designing your next cpu for you computer or some other replacement that is way better, and the other one is a blink of an eye away from being the director of her company. What? Are you afraid of them? I have yet to meet any millennials that are lazy, I have met a bunch of them that refuse to go into debt to live the way their parents do, which is only a month or two from destruction with no savings. Most millennials would rather live in a van in the parking lot of their job than to pay rent to a landlord that refuses to fix anything. They also don't believe in going into debt, so they will live with mom and dad and save to build a small house, and I mean a very small house! They think differently than you do, but that doesn't make them wrong it just makes them in so many ways smarter than you are, because they will get to 50 years old and have no debt and have still traveled the world. They are more into the experience and the adventure than they are into the stuff. This next generation has a lot to teach it's older generations, and yet my generation sounds just like my grandparents generation who thought my generation was just a bunch of loser's. My grandfather didn't understand why I didn't value marriage and was such a free spirit. Didn't understand, why I would go to an expensive fine arts college instead of just get my MRS. Now in my 50's I wish I had listened to my heart and not gotten married, had my kids with a sperm donor and raised them on my own, and lived life my way. I raised my kids to always question authority and to always challenge it! I am extremely proud of my kids, my only regret is that I married their father.

Agreed. I so enjoy your intellect, capabilities and sense of adventure! Well done 👍❤️👌👏!

Perfectly said

no, they are short videos

really good editing

Scrolling through the comments and I thought you were me for a second 😅 love your name!

flattery will get you nowhere

@@douglasdaniels1521 not with that attitude, that for sure.

Me too ! To me, seeing a full spinnacle is the epitome of sailing. Actually, I just made a screen shot of it and made it my screen background ! Thank you Uma !

Ten points for the HHGTTG reference! ;-)))

He did a fine job.

He got an award for his Fjords there

... all those lovely fiddly bits.

He definitely earned that reward

and the shots really are worth the effort 👍🏼

Yeah, but "society" brings it all down. Let's spoil that...

An No so negative 🙁

Unfortunately we have, and will pay for the consequences...

No doubt. This is such a beautiful spot too. Love following their travels.

Prof. M. Otto Zeee JCD ECS ohhh, your certainty just jumps out of my screen and hits me like a .......nothing. Stop that unsubstantiated narrative. The world is getting better and it’s getting better fast! Transform your negativity into action. Make it a self-serving action and the world WILL correct you if you are being unfair to others.

Doesent help one bit, if the water is contaminated then it is contaminated...but since this is in Norway it's not...

Contaminates not contanimation

It would seem the contaminates to be most worried about would be those on the outside of the canteen. This being a possibility I would keep the filler neck upstream. To each their own I guess..

When the OP says ‘contaminates’ I believe he is talking about sand, sticks, etc, not bacteria, virus or chemical agents.

It also helps keep the water from pulling the bottle out of your hand if the current is stronger than you expect.

"A brain fart moment" is another one I picked up from Kika. I have it in front of me where I write my sometimes not so thought tru things.

We call it "Bush whacking" in the hiking world!

it’s an anti depressant too 🤓a really good one !

Maybe they meant dis I like.

Same sort of person who was complaining about Kika's gorgeous topless shots on Instagram. Prudes.

@@nralbers what topless shots?

Some people are just idiots. They dont like it when someone does better than they can do.

My 3 year old grandson loves to give thumbs downs to all my videos, of course my videos aren’t nearly as good as Uma videos

the dress looks a bit like it would serve for a party dress which contrasts with the careful handling of the lines in the same sequence, so a very seasoned sailor she is. The bit i liked was when she was doing her little mermaid pose and she turned the camera on Dan to admire his physique. It was a lovely bit of sailing and such a beautiful hike and camping.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anguis_fragilis

That was actually not a snake but a legless lizard. Cute and harmless. But they could have bumped into a Vipera berus or common viper. Seldom lethal, but would definitely ruin their hike if bitten.

I think that might be a pan-Nordic saying. I mean, I've heard at least Swedes and Finns claim it as their own.

@@jannepeltonen2036 I bet any country with shifting weather have a saying like that, or they would never get out! It was first in Norway ofc :P

Thank you for your comment. Uma, Dan and Kika are on the north coast of norway now, and i think they understand that saying. In this perfect step, love filming and all of it, we see them enjoying sun and nice weather in swim wear, this week they need better clothing. And i know they have all the good clothing they need for a safe journey going north. Looking forward to see more from Uma next week

With right technique that's not needed. A slow but forceful scrape against the rod is enough to throw sparks large enough to light a tinder in -20c.

Bryant, good call and the magnesium will light in the rain!

Actually, it's not called vertigo (that's dizziness), but yes. My legs wanted to walk away just watching them looking down.

We were thinking the same thing....

LPL how many wishes can I take away in 5 minutes?

Click out of one, two is binding...

It Is a Slow worm and they are becoming rare that one in particular had shed its tail end in defence

I was going to say. It doesn't move like a snake. A snake's body will follow it's head. The lizard kinda flopped as it moved. Really cool though.

Kopparsnok!

Kopparödla in Swedish copperlizard. 🦎 kobberøgle in Norwegian..

The snake was a blindworm

Criminals!!!

Eh, it's not that clean cut. You can make a fire "where it obviously can not cause a fire". I think they were well within their rights to make a small fire, and they had water on hand.

Not being Norwegian, we did wonder if it was legal to light a fire as we watched this video. It did look very pristine so we figured no previous fires had been lit in the area.

When did u get that sail did I miss that video ?

Aww thanks for saying that. 😂 No our little boat is way too small for that!

@@SailingUma You could assemble a lil' armada at some port !

@@SailingUma I know you allready touch the subjekt in other videos, but from time to time a video on Tips & Tricks to make sailing videos would be nice

captainandthelady I said the same thing several times watching the video. The good news is that I did enjoy my youth. No regrets.

Wool IS amazing!

They were wool. Still don't feel good when wet.

Bring 1 dry pair of wool socks in your daypack.... And bandaids in case you get a blister

Straight Neem Oil for athlete’s foot 🦶 ....... 😉 a must have on board any boat.

@@SailingUma another tip from the Norwegian Army: Bring extra wool socks and plastic bags. change socks then put the plastic bags on before your shoes. even in wet shoes your socks stay dry.

Fire, drone... you're every park's nightmare.

17:40 there is a sign i think

Sure, of course you are correct. These are quiet times, unique times and such risks have of course been calculated by these guys who are seasoned hikers and adventurers. They would neither advocate nor encourage such frivolous behavior i'm sure; but you'd agree, they've captured quite a unique moment there, with respect. Pssst, shhhhhht, i won't tell if you don't! ;-)

@@filipfilip5954 Sure is , no camping. Finally it is not an American disregarding rules in another country.

A two-hour fire can crack rocks and large boulders? Wounds? Um, no.
