In all the places we drop our anchor, we seem to always have a project to do on Uma. But we also try our best to make time to explore and get a feel for each area. We were amazed to see that San Juan has distinctively two sides: The full of big box stores part of the city, and the full of history and colors part of the city. Both have their importance and both were useful while we were there.
If you enjoyed this episode, please give it thumbs up, it helps us out a bunch :)

Okay guys. I've watched several other "sailing vlogs" and I've decided, yours is the best. Your channel is fun and exciting, but most of all, you show all of us how to live the dream you are currently living. It's great to see how you deal with the daily problems of sailing and boat repair, while still living your dream.

Watching this in November after Puerto Rico was so terribly devastated by this summer's hurricanes, is definitely bitter sweet. I've made four trips to Puerto Rico, the Turks & Caicos, Tortola in the BVIs, St. Thomas and St. John in the American Virgin Islands and poor Barbuda for the American Society of Civil Engineers as part of the infrastructure evaluation study for the UN/World Bank. The devastation is literally unimaginable in all the northern Caribbean and I am working mainly on large infrastructure projects: the power grid, the communications grid, roads and bridges and water supply. Loving your videos but the shadow cast by the unforeseen approach of Irma and Maria casts a pall over the sweet innocence of your adventures. Be well guys. Glad to see the windless installation. Long overdue! Writing this from aboard my Swan 68 here in Greenwich, CT as we prepare for a long term trip to our place in Tortola. Hope to see you in our travels!

@mikemalone9896 5 лет назад

I took some really nice photos from the ladies room at that fort. People are always amazed when I say I took them from the bathroom. Thanks for sharing your awesome adventure.

@franbaas3403 4 года назад

Thank you for your videos, we are on the road in Queensland, Australia after restrictions were lifted, so am catching up on earlier videos. If and when you head this way, come to both coasts of this vast land, there are so many beautiful places to enjoy both by land and water. I can see that you two really love each other despite the challenges you face, thanks again, Wim Baas

@victorfebo2968 3 года назад

Thank you for your kind words about my homeland, Puerto Rico. I have been watching your video for a couple of weeks now and I am, sincerely, hooked! God bless you guys! Lots of health and long lives to share them together.

@fredbarnes3280 4 года назад

@CarlosRodriguez-od9sv 7 лет назад

I am so glad you are having a great time in San Juan but don't forget to check out the rest of the island, you will enjoy it .

@MagicAndReason 6 лет назад

Hahaaaaaaa you finally did the Titanic "I'm the king of the world" pose! At just after 12:45 i laughed my butt off. 😂🤣🤣🤣 Youuuuuu silly kids, you.

@raulrosado6300 7 лет назад

Sadly I can only like the video one time only, other wise I would hit that button 100x :) I used to live 15 min away from SJ and I miss all those walks. Talk about relief stress for free! haha, it was great... BTW, on that last bench you guys talked, right behind on the top lives the Governor Of PR.

@srcastic8764 4 года назад

I spent a month in PR when I was in the military and loved it. I’ve wanted to go back ever since and take my wife with me so she could see how great it is. We just haven’t been able to make it there. Maybe some day.

@heathersullivan8833 3 года назад

Anchoring close to the Disney cruse line is fun too.

@mikebhicks7933 4 года назад

Love the artistic choices in rebuilding the interior of Uma. A very good look.

@secretsquirrel6124 4 года назад

fun fact :the spiral stairs go that way to favour the defenders who would be right handed so would have the advantage in defending the fort

@franklinhowell6342 7 лет назад

You guys rock! I just love your energy and willingness to tackle anything. Thanks for the great videos.

@toonjie 7 лет назад

OSJ is one of my favorite places, we got engaged after an evening stroll to Hotel El Convento. Hope you got to explore at night with the forts all lit up, one of the best places for night photography!

@wkw4095 7 лет назад

Puerto Rico!!!!!! The fort, The fancy resort, The public beaches with kiosks, The rainforest!!!, and...the awesome Puerto Ricans, sooooo friendly :)

@mikemerritt779 7 лет назад

Wonderful video, very educational. You two are a wonderful couple and very enjoyable to watch and enjoy.

@moriver3857 3 года назад

Great video. When I was in 8th and 9th grade, I used to cut classes and do the very same walks you did in Old San Juan, but back then it was rough at night. Now at 61, all I think is to finish my boat refit and head there, but to the west coast, not San Juan, and the rest of the lesser Antilles islands. Fair winds.

@edl617 5 лет назад

i love old San Juan, the old cafe's, bars, the people. the other side of San Juan always reminds me of Atlantic City or other places in the States.

@irishmickoo 7 лет назад

Ahoy mates, welcome to my native island. Born and race in San Juan, P R. you just walk through my childhood playground. Thank you for such beautiful comments. Glad you enjoy your stay. Bienvenidos a Puerto Rico.

@johnmccormick175 7 лет назад

Love your videos,i was in San Juan many years ago (1966) wow has it ever changed,a very beautiful spot then and now.

@loverlei79 2 года назад

Things I learned from watching Uma: 1.If you want to Sail become an Engineer first. 2. Eat Right. Exercise. 3. Strangers are just friends you haven't met first.

@kfujillama9548 4 года назад

LOVE your editing and camera work. Very nicely done.

@NickCal304 7 лет назад

You walked in my steps guys been to the fort many a times in my 71 years .and to SJ the old city good and yes bad memories but that's life.

@marckessels6309 7 лет назад

I do like your travel adventures and the places you visit but the projects you undertake are just great, so ingenious, you are very handy couple transforming Uma in a great little yacht on a budget. I take my hat off, well done. greetings for oz

@billbradley4878 6 лет назад

I like the longer videos for what it is worth.

@quickm4 7 лет назад

So glad you guys made it, i miss Puerto Rico so bad. while I'm watching I'm biting my tongue wanting to tell you all the cool stuff near where you are and when you were talking about big box city, how there is a whole mellow and beautiful places on the top left side of the island. but from where you are there is some cool stuff, bio bay, rainforest, and a ton of waterfalls i have found in my trips. I really do hope you have some time to really explore in all directions from san juan. if you do make it out left, please stop and say hi to rincon for me.

@scoobydo6454 7 лет назад

Awesome video, not too long as way too fun and interesting. You guys seriously allow us to escape with you on your travels, thank you !

@edberti5720 7 лет назад

Dan were you cutting into Uma's knees to install the sliding doors? if so how did you determine what level of impact that would have on the structural integrity of the boat? I really love the way you guys come up with out of the box solutions for boating challenges. Thankyou both for sharing your inspiring work and adventures 😊

Pentax cameras and the DA line of lenses are all good for salt water environments. Every joint in them is sealed with an o-ring.

@dominiquejean-baptiste2253 7 лет назад

WOW you guys are in Old San Juan I love that place. The old Cathedral is so cool reminds me of Haiti. You guys should go to lunch at the Old Billy Goat ( English translation) in Old San Juan my wife and I still talk about the food there. They good drinks as well. I do not remember the Spanish name. Have fun

@PopPopTerry 7 лет назад

I am coming to Puerto Rico at the end of July for a week. This will be our 2nd trip, this time we're going to be in Isabela. Enjoyed seeing the old Forts again, I really like your videos because they are real not too much fakery. Take care and as always be safe and have fun.

@jofcov 7 лет назад

Thanks for visiting my Puerto Rico. To add to the story of La Garita del Diablo it is also said that the soldiers used this spot to flee to the mainland to scape from the army and live in the villages inland where they can find more food and a better life than in the fort. I have been following you since your first video and have enjoyed every one of them, keep the good work. Next time in the island try the caribbean (south) shore of the island you will enjoy it a lot. Blessings for you boht and fair winds.
