1. That Land Rover door is still Ajar

2. Hi you all, Kika, I really like You're new hairdo, You look prettier and younger. Lucky you Dan. Thanks you too and get you next time.❤❤❤

3. Hi Dan & Kika!
   First – HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉 I know you will have so many good things to share with us in 2024. Very excited to follow along and see Uma get back out to sea.
   Next – I did get a teensy spoiler alert re: the BVIs and I can not WAIT to see that video (and for the commenters to lose their minds 🤣).
   Last – Dan you are a handsome fella but… KIKA?! Your hair looks beautiful in this episode. Holiday hair, don't care? 😊🌴 Gorgeous, sistahh.
   Hope your holiday travels were safe and that you had a blast. xo

4. you are a lucky man dan kika is both beutiful and hard working women she is a keeper and she knows engines better then you 🤣🤣 you go kika

5. This was such a good video! Felt more like a documentary

6. I was always worried about your project doing it in the water. You removed so much that I was convinced, the hull will constantly move – not a good base to rework it. So, on the hard you easily maintain the hull form.

7. Hi Dan and Kika……First of all, I extend a very Happy, Productive and Peaceful 2024 ….I have been tracking your youtube videos for the past few years ( from step 1 to 374). I certainly did not stand a chance to witness ocean sailing life & its difficulties as well as beautiful remote islands of the Pacific, Atlantic & Arctic but for your youtube videos. I have thoroughly enjoyed them and I am thankful to you both for that …. … Negative remarks are very common and unavoidable for people who come to limelight and therefore I request both of you to set aside such negative comments and focus on the tasks of rebuilding UMA much stronger …..Looking forward to your future episodes and sailing life again……Param from India…..

8. Hey Dan and Kika! It's great to see you tackling the boat work and making changes in Step 374. Your dedication to fixing and sailing Uma is inspiring! Thank you for another year of incredible adventures. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Keep up the fantastic work, you guys rock! 💪💙

9. I left Nanaimo in 2016, currently in Thailand getting work done for my passage to South Africa.
   Loving the sailing lifestyle ❤

10. If you don't have one I'd recommend a surface conditioning tool, they are very good for stripping and prepping/finishing large areas quite fast.

11. Hi Kika, I love your hair 😊

12. At the end a boat is easier to wreck if it is totally stripped. That is the end of Sailing Uma

13. I wondered when you were going to get Uma on the hard there is no way you do a complete refit on the water I hope you get Uma back out after everything is completed to your specs . I love the Land Cruiser so maybe you can focus on land sailing haha

14. Take care in Haiti. It is not a safe place these days.

15. I've told you before please get rid of that boat you guys have enough followers you're at almost a half a million do a fundraiser or something like that to buy yourself a new boat

16. You two keep me inspired in so many ways. Stay positive and encouraged

17. I am not very patient. Cannot stand the wait to see her renewed.

18. Explain to us mere mortals how you make enough money to not only sail around the world but now to complete these repairs, modifications plus make enough to survive living in Italy is it ?
    It always befuddles me that you seem to have an endless supply of money that allows you to live and hire storage places hire cars pay for repairs renting space on the hard stand etc etc
    Be great for a simple explanation to how you do this as if it’s easy I’m off to buy a boat tomorrow

19. Got rid of the dimples in the hull, that must have been a very satisfactory observation!

20. I feel for you guys, as my wife and I heavily refit a Catalina 30. We made it exceedingly livable (my wife is an architect, and I’m fairly handy as well), and then moved aboard. As someone who has done this (and will never do it again) you may have taken it too far. Sometimes a boat is just past it’s life, and that’s okay. The other thing we found out is that refitting a boat is actually not a very environmentally friendly process given how much needs to be torn out and trashed… Basically the only thing you’re saving is the hull, and that’s actually not all that much material in the end compared to the interior the hull contained. Best of luck if you decide to finish the project, but I can promise you that if you get a newer boat you’ll get a better sailing boat with a lot of life left in it, especially if you take care of a newer boat, rather than a boat that’s still old, sails no better than before, but just looks cleaner. Either way, good luck!!!

21. My wife can tell you how excited I get when I see the title BOAT WORK! WOOOO LETS GOOO

22. Fly me out, My wife and I will help you!

23. Congratulations! You were able to turn what would have been a boring 3 minute video into a very, very boring 30 minute video 😢. I've followed you since nearly the beginning and always enjoy each episode. This time it seemed you were just going through the motions to make up some footage. Disappointed 😢. Looking foreword to the future 💔.

24. Trying to make Chicken Salad out of old rotten stinky Chicken Good Luck– ain't gonna happen

25. Love this era of Uma. It's great to build her up again and make her better than new. I also like that it will certainly cost less than a new boat of similar quality. I get that we can make more of what we have. All that said, a.lot of the time I find myself wishing that Uma was retired and they picked up an amazing used yacht, about 40-45 feet long, and purpose built for ocean crossings. It's absolutely true that a new-used boat would take almost as much work to renovate and make her right. It would take time, and probably just as much money. Plus there's the emotional factor. I just personally wish for Dan and Kika a bigger boat that is more suited to world exploration. This would be for the next decade or two. They could have kids and still fit on a larger boat. This is all just my opinion. Few will agree. I've been a fan of Sailing Uma since day one. My wish is that they'd take this opportunity to get a boat that is purpose-built for their life. Either way it's great to watch!

26. Hi Kika ❤ you and my daughter have the same hair texture. I love what you did to yours. Would you be able to share please? Thank you! Love you guys 💕

27. Niki's hair is fabulous, ( reminds me of my daughter's Sarah's hair, she could style it 6 different ways and hide her ear pods always successfully, I'm sure NIkki could as well, Indio Traveler had done a report on Haiti and Dominican, the 2010 earthquake, the Government of Canada has provided over $1.87 billion worth of funding to Haiti, so interested in how you think Haiti has faired?

28. Great stuff! Your mishaps and misadventures are so humorously ironic. Your humor and steadfastness in the face of unending obstacles. Cheers and a peaceful 2024.

29. "We need to do this more often," LOL!

30. Kika's Italian is great! Time for Dan to show off 😁

31. Since you've gutted much of the internal bracing, are you resting the hull on forms to ensure it's proper shape while building new internal bracing?

32. Yes, water in the fuel. Classic signs. Empty the tank, add 1 gallon of fuel with 10% fuel-grade ethanol, run it through the engine at normal speeds for about 5 minutes, then fill the tank up with your usual fuel.

    Tanks kept half full are far more prone to condensation, which is why airplanes are kept fully fueled on the ramp.

33. Just get a better boat…..I admire what you have done

34. Really enjoy waching your videos! But as you can fix everything, I wonder why you have not made a Slidable mount for the outboard on uma directly?

35. you want to get rid of that landrover before it costs you big time.

36. Whaaaw already a year ago, you sailed into Moys! And don't we remember!!!!🤣🙏🏻
    Looks. Pretty calm in the film but I guess your getting some real hammering 💨💨.
    So glad Uma will get first class treatment. Watching her space.🙏🏻🫶🏻⛵🥰

37. Old gas is the issue.

38. Seems like you guys will be hammering on your boat for the next year or 3.

39. Leave Haiti alone! One of Nabarro's responsibilities in this role was to lead the UN's response to the cholera epidemic its peacekeepers sparked in Haiti in October 2010 when untreated, infected sewage from a UN base was deposited in the country's main river system. As of August 2016, at least 10,000 people had died and more than 800,000 have been sickened in the epidemic. Fallout from an unwanted US regime change? Join BRICS Haiti 🙂

40. Keep going with an upgraded Uma. No one will forget your epic journey crossing the Atlantic Ocean with giant waves that make both of you super famous.

41. Enjoyed the video. I know you have thought it out but seems odd you can take a day cruiser and make it into a crossing boat. On another sailing blog, the couple bought a boat that was essentially built for open ocean sailing, and they are practically rebuilding but at least it is a full fledge open ocean vessel. Guess you're just making it stronger all over. Watch another sailing program and they did a copper coating on the bottom. Must be a reason. Know anything about that? Love the way the dingy fits on top of your vehicle. Would be awesome to take it with you on your land adventures so could travel some lakes and rivers or other sea inlets. Not sure how our on top tent would work. Love watching you two. Keep them coming.

42. 11:30 is the 5th pull…

43. I'm about to embark on building a small wood sailboat. From all I have reviewed I will gladly fore go many comforts on newer vessels and be glad of it.

44. Remember you have a chopper gun l cheaply built coastal cruiser that you are hopefully going to add an interior structure to support it all. Your honesty is what makes this channel interesting. This boat will still be small and slow and you will be apprehensive about going certain places. Some of these boats are being sold for the value of the lead in the keel. Good luck

45. Crazy amount of work…good luck!

46. Looking forward to seeing work being done and completed ASAP so we can be with you two back out traveling the oceans of the world, again.

47. I think you shouldn't have show where you were putting your stuff.

    You have for several costly material, probably dozen of thousand of dollars.
    An engine, a dinggy, electronics instruments, lines, sails, watermaker, batteries, panels.. and more. Everything unsupervised, protected by 2 smalls locks.

    On top of that you said you were not even in Europe for the holiday season…

    It's like a "royal buffet" for criminals.

    I got all my old raymarine electronic stolen (and my old yamaha diggy engine) while in a marina, not really far from here. Even though I had a massive lock, which they cutted like it was butter, and destroyed my console with a crowbar on the deck to extract the screens.

    They knew that a single 15 years old screen was 900€ on the spare market.
    So now I know that boat spare part are 'yummy yummy' for thieves… and you got really 'yummy' parts.

    So maybe blurr out the name of the storage… Or remove the sequence entirely…

    But well, I may be wrong, in the end, i'm not an influencer, merely sailor and youtube commentator during winter seaon.
