ASMR The SOUNDS of The Sea ????— DAY 5 / North Atlantic Crossing | Sailing Uma [Step 192.05]

Here is something DIFFERENT!
Day 5 of our North Atlantic Crossing was a beautiful day. We stayed hours in the cockpit, just listening to the world. and to share with you exactly how ZEN we felt, we decided to ONLY film the sounds of the sea around us. This mini-step has NO VOICES, NO MUSIC, only the beautiful and peaceful connection between our sailboat and the ocean.

We understand this type of video isn't for everyone, so if this isn't your cup of tea, no need to be mean or dislike, just come back tomorrow ????

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.
