We Owe You The Full Story

Chica,

>> good morning.

>> Hi.

>> You ready for our exciting announce?

>> Why are you filming me?

>> Cuz we have an exciting announcement for

the people.

>> Oh, we're doing this today.

>> Mhm.

>> Yeah. We have a we have something

important to tell you guys.

But I think first we should get coffee

>> first. Definitely coffee.

>> Yeah. Okay, let's get coffee. I need to

get out of the bed.

So I guess I guess we're going to you

guys are going to see our whole um

morning routine.

We don't have a companion way yet. So

this is

this is our

Oops.

Hi.

>> Hi. You

>> ready for coffee?

>> Yes.

Heat. Heat.

I'm squeezing my butt.

>> Thank you.

Amen.

This [snorts] is This is our morning

routine. It's

>> This is how we spend the first hour of

our mornings.

>> Yeah. Uh by the way, I know you guys saw

we added protein powder in our coffee.

Don't

>> taste it before you try it because it is

absolutely delicious.

>> Yeah. Well, cuz uh Kika used to do

[laughter]

>> dance.

>> This is why you shouldn't you shouldn't

move your leg. [laughter]

>> Um yeah, it's all over my leg.

>> Well,

>> you want me to get it?

>> No. Okay. Well, I guess I guess let me

let me go let me go wipe.

>> Do you want that?

cuz luckily it wasn't so hot.

>> Mhm.

>> It's like all over my [laughter]

>> Y'all want the BTS? This is the BTS. Uh,

can I get rid of this or are you going

to spill again?

>> I'm I'm good. I didn't spill that much.

I still have like the full thing of

coffee in my cup.

>> Yeah. Uh, Kika used to put a lot of

sugar in her coffee and then we would

have protein powder later. But that's

like vanilla ice cream flavored protein

powder and mixing that in coffee is

absolutely delicious. It tastes like a

vanilla latte and it's a protein coffee

>> and it's good. [snorts] Yeah, protein is

always good. What are you doing?

>> Feels unnatural.

>> I have to like talk that way. Careful.

My coffee. [laughter]

Yeah. So, anyway, guys,

>> better.

>> The reason why we wanted to talk to you

this morning is because we have a big

announcement to make.

>> Is pregnant. [laughter]

>> Yes.

>> No. I like that. Just made

>> We're selling our boat.

>> No.

>> No. We're giving away our boat.

>> No.

>> No. So, as you guys know, for the last

three years, we been refitting our boat

entirely. We demoed everything and

rebuilt everything from the ground up to

make her stronger and better in every

way possible. And I think now that we

have kind of a light at the end of that

tunnel, we can see Uma sailing again

soon.

>> We can finally share one of the biggest

reason why we even started this refit in

the first place. Let's just say that

this time around we're going to attempt

to break a world record.

>> Yeah. The suspense. We have since the

beginning not had a diesel engine in our

boat. Partially because we didn't want a

tractor engine in our living room.

Partially because diesel engines are

complicated and they break and there's a

lot of moving parts. Having been

completely new to sailing and have never

gone sailing before, when we bought our

boat, we didn't really understand why

people would put a diesel engine in a

sailboat. Uh because we were like, "It's

a sailboat. It has sails. Why does it

need an engine? Can't you just sail it

everywhere? And so we started with an

electric motor. We learned how to sail

it everywhere. Uh and we never really

bothered looking back. We've been on

plenty of boats now that have diesel

engines. A lot of them are very loud,

especially old ones like ours. Um we get

it. I mean, we're we're on a charter.

They're nice to just be able to motor

exactly where you want to go when you

want to go there. But our definition of

sustainability is like sustainment long

term. Not like sustainability green for

the planet. It's just we want to be able

to sustain ourselves offshore in remote

anchorages without needing to rely on a

fuel dock or carrying 20 cans of diesel

fuel on deck like so many other cruisers

we've seen do.

>> Over the last decade, we had an electric

system on our boat, but we also carried

fuel on board cuz we had alcohol for the

cooking stove. We had uh gas for the

dinghy outboard. And when we went up to

Swallbart because we had a new update

and a new motor from Ocean Vold, we

carried a generator um to venture up to

Swallbard in Iceland. So, but this time

we were able to get gather everything

we've learned over the last 10 years and

like Den said has zero compromise and

prioritize not carrying any of those

backup fuels on board at all

>> because all electric at least in our

minds should mean all electric. There's

a lot of hype around electric and

there's a lot of manufacturers or boats

that claim to be all electric with an

emergency backup diesel generator, in

which case you're a hybrid electric,

which is fine. There's nothing wrong

with being hybrid electric. It's a good

solution for most people,

>> but it's not all electric. All electric

means zero fuel on board, period, full

stop. And as far as we know, there's

only a handful of boats out there that

have even tried to be all electric. It's

pretty extreme. I think

>> it is pretty extreme and it's not for

everyone, but I think for us and what

we're trying to do next, it's it's the

perfect solution. And so the plan is

we're going to hopefully launch within

the next month or two.

>> And then from there, we're going to make

sure the boat floats. That's important

to make sure all the systems work.

>> Yeah.

>> And then the big idea is we're going to

go on a big shakeddown.

>> A big shakeddown kind of around the

globe. As in the biggest shakeddown you

can think of, which is a loop around the

world.

>> Yeah,

>> our first

complete [clears throat]

circumnavigation.

>> Yeah, we've been trying for 10 years,

but it's [laughter] been taking a while.

>> So, it's a good shakeddown. I mean,

what's what's the ultimate test for a

sailboat? Circumnavigation. Exactly.

Right. So,

>> yeah. So, there's a lot to discuss here.

Um, but we're going to finish our

coffees.

>> Yeah. And we got we still have some work

to get done.

>> We have some work to do. I'm going to

try to multitask today and explain to

you everything as we do it.

>> So, let's try not to spill my coffee

[laughter] over again.

>> I I can tell you want to bite it. It's

not ice cream.

>> Don't

[laughter]

Don't do the thing that you know I'm

going to do. Don't laugh. You're going

to spill your coffee.

>> Don't laugh.

>> [laughter]

>> DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT? OH MY GOD.

>> OH, LOOK. IT'S BEHIND YOUR HEAD. WHAT?

>> Let's get to work.

>> My coffee.

>> I have an idea.

>> Oh, I have my um Let's not forget that I

have something

>> for for my hair.

>> Yes.

Can you somehow

[snorts] put your hair like in a

pineapple in this?

Like but like make it a pineapple. Not a

per not a permanent pineapple.

>> Yeah. Tie it in the back like that. I'm

going to tie it. Just don't get my hair

in the knot.

>> Okay. Take two knots otherwise it's

going to fall off.

>> Okay.

>> Okay. [snorts]

No, this needs to be like I need your

hair in like a tube. Oh, what about like

a t-shirt?

>> What about this? Like that?

>> You're talking about like this?

>> No, we need this.

>> I don't know what you don't What are

you?

>> Put Put your hair in this. [laughter]

>> Put your hair in this. No, that's

perfect. Stay right there. Right there.

Don't move.

>> Okay,

>> don't move.

>> Okay,

>> stay there. This is genius.

>> What's happening?

>> Stay there. [snorts]

Don't be mad. I feel like you're going

to be mad.

This is why you can't have nice things.

>> Okay. Ready?

>> Wait, there's like a string.

>> Oh, okay.

[laughter]

Wait, we need to take this off. You

should not let me near your hair.

>> Ow. [laughter]

>> Oh, this is my new favorite thing ever.

>> I don't I don't have a mirror. I don't

know what you're looking [laughter] at.

I love it so much. [laughter]

Okay. Can you do but work for the rest

of the day like that?

>> Oh my gosh. The things that I'm the

things that I do for you.

>> Mirror mirror on my phone.

[laughter]

>> Get it. Get it. Engine. Hh.

Do I get a Can I get a Can I get it?

>> It's like I'm like um

>> Can I get a [laughter] Oh, I get a fist

bump out of it.

>> I mean, I'm like a What's the the palm

trees?

>> That is a fantastic hairstyle. It's

protective, right? Like none of your

ends are going to get in the epoxy. See,

>> it's a protective hairstyle.

>> I You don't have You don't have to be

cute if you don't want to be. Like you

could take your hair out if you wanted

to.

>> You think that's cuter?

>> Yes,

they do too.

>> Okay, we need to

>> wait. Go in front of the fan. It's even

more fun. [laughter]

>> Doesn't do [snorts] anything.

>> No, because here you have to like

>> I'm not sure it does anything.

>> My hair is very heavy.

>> [laughter]

>> Is it doing anything?

>> Uh, yeah, a little bit. A little bit of

things. [laughter]

>> Like a octopus. Jellyfish.

>> Jellyfish.

>> All right. We should get some jellyfish.

>> Let's get some work done.

>> Am I really going to keep this all day?

>> That's up to you. You know my opinion.

You know their opinion.

Why am I always a comic relief of our

episodes? Why can't Dan be funny?

>> Because you're bad at saying no.

[laughter]

>> Fair enough. Yeah, [laughter]

>> cuz I do need to find.

>> All right. So, what's in the agenda for

today? Um, Jenna today, uh, yeah, I have

in the mail just got the new

bushing for our

bow sprit fitting, so we can drill a

hole and install our bow sprit today.

This is exciting cuz that thing's

pretty. Uh, but I need to find the right

size drill bit. I need to find the right

size bolt.

And I think that it's

Oh, no. Let's see. M8. No, it's bigger

than M8.

Yes. M10. It is. Small washer. Locking

nut. Yeah.

I need a drill bit. And then we can go

put our bow back on, which we're 100%

keeping because it's awesome.

>> Sticker survived it.

>> Sticker survived so well. We thought

about like re clear coating this while

it's off, but it's held up so well for

the last four or five years that I don't

really see a reason to. So, we're just

going to install it as is because it's

perfect. Oh my god, it's so chunky.

Okay.

This is a Don't try it at home. I can't

find my center punch, so I'm using a

score and a punch

[snorts]

there.

Okay.

Sweet.

>> It's really windy today, but

>> can you tell

>> it's uh How's your Windex?

>> Your built-in wind. [clears throat]

>> Yeah.

>> Can I tell you how much I love uh just

bolting new shiny on the boat?

>> I know this is

>> and how like easy it is compared to

>> Oh, wait. Where's my mic? Oh. [laughter]

It's here. It's camouflage PC.

>> I'm sorry. I just saw you holding it and

I forgot that mine was supposed to be

>> This isn't alcohol. It's just kombucha.

>> Okay. So, yeah, the back bow sprit is

back.

>> The bow's done. We're We're like

sequentially going through the boat and

just like finishing section by section

and it feels so good.

>> It feels really good to be almost almost

there. Okay, we were saying earlier this

morning is that sailing around the world

has always been a dream.

>> It's a dream for every sailor that ever

has a boat is to one day sail the world.

>> And we've been a little bit on the

slower side the last 10 years.

>> Yeah.

>> For multiple reasons.

>> Our boat wasn't really up for the

challenge uh as we were learning. Uh we

weren't really up for the challenge as

we were learning. And also

>> and logistically logistics

>> um visas as we've learned traveling

visas has been very challenging cuz for

me with my Haitian passport it takes a

minimum of two to three months just to

apply for one visa and

>> thousands of dollars

>> and a lot of money and a lot of times

you can't apply for earlier than 3

months before your plane traveled and

then you have to give your passport and

then you have to wait till your

approval. So, every time we had to move

countries, we had to basically stay in

one place until I get the visa for the

next place.

>> Or or we apply for like a multi-entry

visa for the next country. And they're

like, "What are your dates for planned

of arrival?" And you kind of just have

to make them up. So, we give them like

you can't give them more than three

months even though it's a multi-entry

visa. And we give them like this two

week period. And they say, "Okay, here's

a visa for those two weeks." And we're

like, "God, we got to go now." So,

>> it's been a slow process for us. Um but

we're about to change that.

>> Yeah. Because this time around I think

our goal is to do is to sail around the

world all electric within one year.

>> Um and that's probably going to be for

multiple reasons. One because if we want

to keep the momentum of sailing, then we

have to pick our windows carefully,

>> not get distracted by shiny objects in

fancy countries

>> or Norway.

>> Yeah. [laughter] Not to get distracted

by Norway.

>> Yeah. And uh

>> we've been planning this for a very long

like 10 years.

>> Yeah, basically. [laughter]

>> And it changes all the time. But yeah,

so if if you if you miss that one-year

window, then you have to wait for at

least one like hurricane or cyclone

season, which means spending, you know,

6 months on one side of an ocean. Um and

then once you spend 6 months on one side

of an ocean, then you have to spend six

months on the next one. And so it ends

up being like a 2 and 1/2 year

circumnavigation if you miss those

windows. And if you're going to be

waiting two and a half years, might

might as well take the time and see five

years.

>> Five years. And if you're going to do

five, you might as well do 10 and then

>> might as well retire in New Zealand and

just be done with it.

>> Exactly. [laughter] So we um we know us

and we know that we need a goal to

journey towards and we need momentum and

a focus. And so uh this time around for

like Kika said multiple reasons. Weather

being one of them. Us just wanting to go

sailing for a while is another. And the

logistics of visas is another one. Kik

has been applying for visas for the last

two years and she's gotten a couple for

a couple of the countries we want to

stop in, but mainly it just means we're

going to be sailing a lot and stopping a

little because uh it's very difficult to

get visas for 30 countries a year in

advance. It's basically impossible.

>> We've done all of our research. We've

went all the possible routes, talked to

multiple agents and is very tricky

because most people sailing around the

world have a first world passport. So

yes, you still have to go through

immigration process, but it's not as

difficult as if you have a third world

passport like a Haitian one. And no,

getting married is not going to solve

our issues. We are married and we've

talked about this.

>> We've talked about this multiple times.

We're not going to get into this.

>> I don't know of a single country

actually where if you married the

citizen, you automatically get a

passport like that day. I don't think

there's one that ever exists.

>> No, you always have to live in that

country.

>> Um we've gone down the rabbit hole of

like citizen by investment. We've done

everything and um come up short every

single time. So, this time we're not

going to let visas stop us. We're still

going to sail around the world on our

own terms. Um, it just means that we're

going to spend a lot more time at sea,

which is fine because the ocean, you

don't need a visa to go in the ocean.

>> Exactly. The ocean doesn't care about

where you're from and what your

nationality is and what the color of

your skin is.

>> So, it just it just does what it does

and you just have to live with it, which

I absolutely am excited for. And I think

for every day that we spend on the hard,

we have to match it with a day out in

[laughter] the ocean, right? which means

we have to spend 3 years non-stop. Just

keep going.

>> We're also much more set up for it this

time around than we were the last time

we crossed the Atlantic because we have

got way more solar. We've got a water

maker. We basically have an unlimited

supply of energy that we can generate.

Um, and we can generate an unlimited

supply of water. Our only limitation is

food, but at least in the big oceans,

you can fish. So, some of our longest

passages might be 40 plus days. Uh, but

we're excited. Uh we also since the last

time we were out on the water uh

Starlink became a thing. So we're gonna

be sailing around the world hopefully

sub one year and we're going to be

uploading content the entire time and a

lot of it. So you guys are coming along

for that journey.

>> But also uh oo it's getting really

windy. I think we should move into the

cockpit. Quick note before we move

forward.

>> Your hair is very distracting.

>> Oh my god. I just I'm just looking at it

in the screen now. This is what you guys

see.

It doesn't. You can't hide it.

>> You've been rocking it all day. I think

it's great. I don't know how you're

going to take it off. It's kind of like

>> This is your problem. You put it on, you

have to take it off.

>> Scissors.

[laughter]

[snorts]

>> No,

that is not the solution for everything.

>> The cockpit. It's windy.

>> Let's go in the cockpit because we have

one more thing that we need to talk

about before

[laughter]

we finish this episode. So, transition.

>> Transition. [laughter]

>> And then he's going to have to go the

other way.

>> Transition.

>> No, that's not the transition yet.

>> What are you talking about? It's a great

transition.

>> Okay.

[snorts]

Okay. And then I was going to do Can

Yeah. Too bright.

>> Can I If I open this, is that going to

be a spoiler? And because we can get air

conditioning if I open that.

>> It's fine if it's a spoiler. Is it good?

Too dark.

>> Make it brighter.

>> It's still too dark. You have 8% left.

>> 8%.

>> Okay.

>> Talk faster.

>> Transition. [laughter]

>> Nailed it.

>> Oh my god.

>> Oh my goodness. Yeah, this is too much

fun.

>> If we open the companion way here, air

conditioning dumps out into the dodger,

which is like a spoiler for how we're

probably going to be sailing. We're just

going to like close this off and then

just have air con or heat just dumping

in here. We're going to have like a

heated pilot house. It's going to be so

nice.

>> Yeah, it's going to be really cool. And

so, okay, really quick, let's go over

the general plan that we have for that

circumnavigation. Um, after we leave

here, the goal is going to be to leave

the Med. From the Med, we're going to

sail basically southwest

>> towards Patagonia.

>> And we've decided to skip the Panama

Canal for this journey. We fell in love

with Norway because of the fjords and

the epicness. And Patagonia is just

Norway on steroids. And Chile is one of

the countries that Kika can get a visa

for. So

>> So that's the route we're gonna go.

>> Bonus. [laughter]

>> So we're going to go down to Patagonia

into Chile and go around Cape Horn and

then cross west o through the Pacific

through the French Polynesian island

which I haven't figured out how to get

the visas for that yet. We'll figure

that out. Um other option is just to not

stop and just completely seal through

>> sail the whole South Pacific cuz

Australia you can also get, right? And

so the next big stop would be Australia

which also I think I can get a visa for.

And from Australia we would cross the

Indian Ocean to South Africa. And then

from South Africa we would cross the

Atlantic. And somewhere in the Atlantic

Ocean we would officially close our

around the world loop which would for us

close a supernavigation.

>> After the year that takes we make it

back to the middle of the southern

Atlantic somewhere. We'll decide if we

want to go right or left

>> and figure out what we want to do after.

But this has kind of been the goal we've

been planning for this whole time. So,

we're feeling really good about finally

getting to start that very, very soon.

>> Yeah. So, I know for all of you guys

who've been wanting us to get back into

the sailing mode, don't worry. There's

going to be so much sailing, you're

going to get bored of it.

>> Nobody's wanted to go to get us sailing

sooner than us. I promise you. That's

why we've been working so much on the

road to get

>> we have uh we have a few more projects

we need want to finish in on the hard

inside while we're so close to our

container. The main one being like the

galley, the like flooring and ceiling in

the boat and the head. Those are the

kind of four main big projects left. Uh

and after that we can go in the water

and start commissioning systems. So um

it's all just bolting on pretty stuff

now and we're getting so close. It's

fantastic. We're getting so much done

every day. So, but oh, one thing that we

wanted to talk to you guys about too is

what happens after we launch and before

we officially start district navigation

is we were thinking we're thinking of

doing some type of event, some type of

like sendoff departure meetup thing.

>> Yeah. Like a launch party, a sendoff

party, a patron meetup, a public meetup,

a Numa Boat show, some version of like a

big hangout. Cuz like after 3 years of

being on the hard, we feel like

celebrating when we get back in the

water. And we kind of would be cool if

you guys want to celebrate with us.

>> Okay. Yeah. But wait, I think the

battery's going to die. So I need to

switch you up. Is

>> it distracting that I have a

>> Okay. ruler.

>> Where? Oh, I can't take this off now.

>> You I don't think you can take that off.

>> Try

this back on my shirt.

Wait.

>> Oh, I apologize. This was a good idea

until now.

Maybe maybe we take it off by pushing it

down and then pulling it up inside out.

>> No, kind of like take it off. Oh, it's

going to finger trap me, isn't it?

>> Come forward.

>> Wait, if I can just like do it like

this.

>> It's not going to work.

>> A bad idea. I think we're going to have

>> You're going to have to cut your hat

off.

>> No, that. We're cutting your hair

off. Your hair grows back.

>> Oh, there you go. There it goes. There

we go.

Did I lose any hair? No, I didn't.

>> Did you ruin my hat?

>> I I just It's just like a little

>> I'm surprised.

>> You ruined your hat. I think you ruined

my hat. I mean, you ruined your hat.

Okay.

>> Oh, I don't know what was better,

[laughter] but now my hair my hair is

stuck in a position.

>> That's fine.

>> Okay, so we're back inside with air

conditioning. You guys are charged. You

get to see the rest of this. [laughter]

>> We've been We've been hot swapping

batteries cuz we normally have like

three or four batteries for the camera,

but we can't find two of them. So one

charges while we use one and then it so

we only ever get like 18% at a time

which is making this whole thing

uh much more challenging than [laughter]

it should be sailing around the world.

Um so the crazy part is

>> from the research we've done uh if we

succeed there's a good chance that we

will become the first all truly

all-electric cruising boat to make it

around the world. 10 years ago there was

a guy on a race boat that technically

was all electric but he was racing Yeah,

for the Vonda Globe. But he was racing,

so all he needed to do was like boil

some water to make freeze-dried meals,

keep his laptop running, and he was also

racing. Race boats aren't allowed to use

their engine anyway. So whether you

don't use a diesel engine or you don't

use an electric engine, you're still not

using your engine, otherwise you get

disqualified. So no cruising boat has

done it. Uh, and we're planning to do it

in style. Air conditioning and a oven

and a hot water and water maker and

>> internet and it's going to be comfy.

>> So we're not the we're not the first who

tried. There have been other people who

have tried to do this. Some failed and

some actually finished a

circumnavigation, but they were not

really all electric because they did

carry fuel on board. Whether or backup

generator

>> whether it's because yeah, they have a

backup just in case or they had a gas

stove on board

>> or they had an outboard for a dinghy. So

for us, in order to do this, the

constraint that we're putting to

ourselves is all electric means all

electric, no fossil fuel on board

whatsoever. The boat itself is only

reliant on renewable energy and yeah and

we want to do it in style. I think the

whole point for us is to showcase that

as a liverboard lifestyle we can do

this. Proving that it's possible on a

race boat is very different than proving

that it's possible on a cruising

lifestyle because we do have to stop. We

do have to motor. We do have to

>> anchor internet cook. You can sail

around the world without an engine at

all. Right. I mean like race boats

technically do it. The parties did it.

Mellin did it.

>> Mellin did it. He burned olive oil. Like

400 years ago he sailed around the world

without an engine at all. To us like the

concept of like being the first

all-electric motor on the world has

always been a little bit weird because

it's like well you can do it without a

motor so with a motor it should be

easier but people were doing it and

failing and then blaming it on the motor

and we're like but you're on a sailboat.

So yeah I mean we're going to go sail

around the world. We're going to have

fun and do it in style. We're doing it

on an electric boat cuz that's what we

like. That's what we know. That's what

we think works. And once we succeed, I

think technically we'll be the first

ones to do it. So that's kind of cool.

The main difference between our boat and

every other boat that sails around the

world is once a typical cruising boat

leaves the dock, they're on a timer

>> and when they run out of fuel, they run

out of fuel. And so a lot of people when

they cross the ocean, they buy a bunch

of jerry cans and fill 20 jerry cans of

diesel fuel on deck in case they have to

motor because most boats our size can't

motor across an ocean. They can motor

for three, four, five days, maybe 10

days, but every can of uh diesel that

you put on deck, every 25 liters gives

you like another day of motoring

capability. So if you've got 18 cans of

diesel, you can motor for 18 days

generally on a boat this size.

>> So the difference is when we leave the

dock with 3 kilowatts of solar and a

kilowatt of regen, um the longer we

sail, the more power we generate. So,

aside from running out of food, we can

stay indefinitely sailing offshore and

never run out of uh electricity on

board, never run out of power, never run

out of air conditioning and water and

hot water and internet. So, um yeah,

>> that's what we're going to test out.

>> It's going to be exciting to test this

out and we're really close to launching.

>> Oh, and we forgot to end the

conversation about the departure party,

[laughter]

>> right?

>> That was a thing. U So, yeah. So, we're

thinking about putting together an event

before we commit to one location. And we

wanted to bring this up to you first and

see who would be interested in coming.

>> I think logistically

it would be like mid to end of October.

>> Yeah.

>> Somewhere between Mayorca and Gibralar.

>> Yeah.

>> So that would be the aim. It's not going

to be this. It's not going to be August

and then we would need most of September

to like make sure everything works

>> and then October we're planning to start

heading out of the med. So um yeah, let

us know if you think you might be able

to make it to that. uh and and what that

would look like.

>> We're going to leave a little Google

form down below just as not an RSVP, but

more of a of a interest

>> type of thing. Let us know whether or

not we want to do what whether or not it

makes sense to just do a Patreon

exclusive meetup or a more public

exclusive meetup. Yeah.

>> Then just fill it down below. Let us

know and then we'll take it from there.

>> Yeah. Exciting times. That's the goal.

We're we're sailing around the world.

>> I know.

in a short amount of time. And we've

been talking about this internally for

years. We've been really talking about

logistically and planning it for the

last 2 years since we started the

rebuild. It's kind of fun to share with

you guys because it means that it's

serious.

>> But also, I think it's time, you know,

like Uma deserved to complete her

journey. Uma deserved to complete her

first circumnavigation. Also,

if you guys haven't noticed, in the

background of this video, at least 10

times, we've put some pretty significant

Easter eggs. So,

>> maybe you want to go back and

>> might want to go back and rewatch it.

>> See which one they are.

>> I think we have 10. See if you can get

all 10.

>> Comment down below if you find the

Easter eggs.

>> Yeah,

>> there are things that you're going to

end up seeing in the future videos, but

>> yeah,

>> you might just get a sneak peek now.

>> And the reflections and the bokeh and

the background and the

>> and in my hair. [laughter] Yeah,

>> we obviously have so much more on the

boat to do, but this is

>> this is exciting. This this is going to

start being I don't know. I think I had

too much coffee. My words are not

flowing. Um, but this is exciting and I

hope you're excited, too. And we have I

know you guys we're going to have My

words are not working.

>> Are you going to find them down there?

[laughter]

>> I know you guys have a lot of questions.

So,

>> mainly, is Kika crazy? I think I get

>> We've been together for like 12 years. I

still can't answer that question. I

mean, obviously, yes, but like how

crazy. Yeah, we got a lot more fun boat

projects coming. Um, mainly interior

projects. So, uh, couple of more, maybe

like four or five more main videos to

do.

>> So, here's a fun, it's not an Easter egg

really, but a funner little update for

you. I think this is technically not an

episode, but somebody commented a while

back that wouldn't it be funny if the

episode 500 was the launch. And so we've

been really committed to that challenge.

>> I bet we could.

>> We're so close to being done.

>> We have, I think, six more episodes to

post before we actually launch. So

>> So that's six weeks.

>> Let us know in the comments if you think

we can make it. Episode 500. Step 500 is

going to be Uma launching in the water.

>> Huh?

>> Yeah.

>> In the water in six weeks.

>> All right.

>> That's it, guys. Before the next battery

dies,

>> see you next week and uh

>> yeah, let us know how excited you are

about this cuz we are stoked.

>> All right, cheers.

You have to like you have to like No,

no, let go. Let go. And there you go.

>> Bye. [laughter]
