A Minimalist Life on the Water — Sailing Uma [Step 217]

↓HOW WE FILMED THIS VIDEO↓


This is what a day in our life actually looks like. Minimalism is a spectrum and we're certainly not extreme, but everything we own, enjoy, and use is on our boat. It's a simple life floating in our tiny home, but one that allows us the freedom to explore new places, learn from different cultures and share our unique experiences with you.

A Master Class in Advanced Video Selfies - How we Filmed Step #217

The Making of Step 217.
We received an insane amount of positive feedback on our last video, with many of you trying to figure out if we had a film crew following us around or hired a new camera person. The reality is, we planned, filmed, and edited the entire thing ourselves and it didn't take as long as many of you guessed. So this week, we breakdown the 5 tips we used to create this compilation of advanced video selfies.

TIPS:
#1 PLANNING 14:50
#2 TRIPOD 18:00
#3 DRONE 23:50
#4 ENVIRONMENT 24:25
#5 EDITING 29:00

#9 | We are SAILING to AMSTERDAM | LinneaSailing

In this week's episode we sail the Dutch freshwater lakes towards Amsterdam. It's a busy sail with lots of boats around us, going in all directions. Weak winds and huge fields of kelp makes this one of our slowest sails ever (25 NM in 7 hours). We also visit Amsterdam city and take a canal tour where we learn why so many houses seems to be falling.

Our Amsterdam experience will continue in next week's episode.

We are Emmy and Marcus, a Swedish couple who has decided to leave our home and set sail. For now the goal is Caribbean, but who really knows how far your dreams might take you?

Welcome aboard our sailboat Linnea!

Een kijkje aan boord bij Sailing UMA [English]

[English below]

Kika en Dan, de bekende vloggers van het YouTube-kanaal Sailing Uma zijn in Nederland! Wij gingen bij ze op bezoek. Ze gaven een tour door hun drijvende huisje uit 1972 en we spraken uitgebreid met ze over het leven als zeilvlogger en zeilen in Nederland. Die podcast hoor je binnenkort op Zeilwereld.nl

Kika and Dan, the famous vloggers of Sailing Uma on YouTube are in the Netherlands! We paid them a visit while they were on anchor in front of the village Durgerdam, near Amsterdam. They gave us a tour through their little floating home from 1972 and we had a long chat about their live as vlogging sailors and sailing in the Netherlands. Soon, we'll upload a podcast (English spoken) with that conversation on our website: zeilwereld.nl.
