I am happy to be a patreon of “Sailing Uma”, the sailing channel run by Dan and Kika. They make great videos where they sail around the world. Currently they are improving their boat Uma by rebuilding it.
In February 2025, they wrote the names of all Patreons inside the hull, including “Leo Sauermann”, as you see in the features image of this post. This will never be visible again, but knowing my name is written in Uma gives myself a physical representation within the boat I follow on YouTube.
This direct relationship with the artists I pay and follow is another example why I watch Sailing Channels, as I have longer written in Why I watch Sailing Channel Videos and not Netflix or TV anymore – because this is the future of media.
Here are Dan and Kika writing:
We are in good company.
Distant shores is also there
