    Here we go, I hope you enjoyed this series! The next two videos are going to be from Finland, where I'm going sailing on a tiny dinghy, before we get back to Lumi and Alaska... Thanks for watching!

      Nice series. My dream is for sure not Polar region sailing, but I can see the attraction, all that undisturbed beautiful nature. I am so sorry for your loss! Of drone, that is. You could consider to buy a waterproof one next, that can actually land on water. At least would never sink and be sea trash that way.

      @cozteplitz765 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! So glad I found your channel. THIS is exactly what I have been trying to convince my wife, son, and a few friends to do - combining sailing with ski touring (and, in remote places like this, probably some packrafting too). So excited to see you are making it work, and it makes me just want to jump in the boat and sail north! Logistics question - what time of year did you do this? Looks like perhaps springtime - maybe April or May?

    Sorry you lost the drone. You can try adding a foam board to the bottom of the drone so that it can still float if it falls into the sea. After reacquiring the drone, you can soak it in fresh water, remove the salt and dry it. If you have a chance, you can use it again.

    I think this is the best sailing channel by far!

  • @davidwarren9204
    @davidwarren9204 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I met a guy who has a yacht, he rigged up a remote control (like literally for model airplanes etc), to his rudder and throttle, so he could be anywhere on the boat (or even on the dock) and control the boat. - very handy for single-handed docking and probably for being your own bow spotter...

    3. Your camera/drone skills
    Kudos to you! I’m obsessed with your channel now by the way 😂 ❤ ☮️
    Edit: I commented halfway through the video because I can’t help myself, but regardless, you are still a badass with the drone! Also, thank u for leaving the part where you fell! Definitely something we all do! You owned it though! 😂😊 keep doing you!

I spent some time Around Petersburg so your scenic shots are giving me great memories. So happy you had some good skiing.

    I wanted to second the comment on adding a light weight float to the drone for use over open water. DJI also has an insurance programs where they can analyze if it was the drone’s fault and replace. If it’s floating its way to find it again.

      Hell you say: not sexy!!! Bushwhacking and skiing uphill for a while in order to catch the downhill flight is as sexy as it gets, me thinks (unless of course you do it sans clothing). I guess your mileage may very but skirting brambles and brown grizzles is very daring if you ask me. Just saying. You’re the bomb, Juho. Courage personified.

    Thank you for your beautiful videos. I have been trailer sailing/cruising from the midwest of USA for 30 years. I am hopefully 2 years away from retirement and fixing up a 26 ft bluewater sailboat (again on a trailer) that I hope to sail in the Caribbean, and maybe cross the Atlantic to sail some places in Europe. Your illustrations of a broad variety of sailing topics is helpful to me. Your calm approach to tricky situations is inspirational also. Its easy to recognize your deep and broad sailing skills. Several people have recommended the western Canadian coast, and your video is more motivation. Who knows, maybe I will have enough healthy years to sail that region also. Fair Winds, EnglishSailors.
