Oh Sohvi is "cool and calm" I like her quiet awareness!
I used to watch many cruisers but after a few years of one sandy beach after another, I got board. You on the other hand, never fail to impress me with your locations and your excellent drone footage. You are the only one I watch still.
Agreed, unique!
Sohvi should not worry about her face or looking happy, she is the coolest sailor out there 😸😸
I agree, but I also think credit should be given to them both as being pretty cool
This is how finish people are
Doctor Shovi eating nachos after being scared. 😅
That was definitely a sketchy entrance/exit. It was worth it once you were in the maze of icebergs. 🤯
Thanks for looking out for your fellow cruisers and alerting the authorities for help. And, thanks for taking me to somewhere I will never go.
Awesome prints.
Sohvi has a lovely face, the good thing is she doesn't show panic. 👍😉💚
Beautiful prints, beautiful girl and beautiful boat. You're onto a winner mate, thanks for you're awesome channel.
Sohvi is not only one of TH-cam's coolest sailors, but also one of the cutest. Such stupid comments are nothing to worry about. Fantastic video with incredibly beautiful pictures! And then not only Sohvi, but also the landscape, sparse colors that are rendered wonderfully. Many thanks for what you do and really hope you can continue 😃💕⛵
So nice to see Sohvi back aboard. Impressive framed pictures. Spectacular episode!
This sailing channel is so unique. I love it! Thank you both so much!
The footage is not only cool from content stand point, but also as an artistic piece. You could say it's a part of a Discovery show and I would believe it. Very nice!
The footage you capture is nothing short of spectacular.
thanks so much Joe!
Both of you have out done yourselves. AMAZING video episode.
Spectacular footage. A feast for the eyes! Drones do add value. Thank you Juho and Sohvi for these one of a kind experiences. Beautiful.
A visual feast indeed!
This was a very beautiful episode! Your commentary about climate change is important. Dear Sophie, your impressed face is just perfect! The world does not need more demonstrations of overly dramatic enthusiasm! (I have a dear friend who is a Finn who tells me about the naturally subdued Finnish nature) Many thanks for your stunning productions!
thanks so much Irene!
Couldn't have put it better👍
Very lucky you guys just happened to come by,could of been a disaster for those people 👍The view is breathtaking
Sohvi has a very beautiful smile - that you only see it some of the time is a feature - no kind of a problem! This was another great episode - nobody else is doing this.
Sohvi is cool, calm and gorgeous.
Amazing scenery. Bit of a scary place. Thanks for showing us.
The ethereal beauty of the ice-filled lagoon was breath taking, thank you
The scenery that you share in each video is truly awesome - this episode has been no exception. Absolutely beautiful shots and I really enjoyed your adventure through the ice in the lake. Your photographs are amazing. Thanks for sharing with us. Stay safe and I am looking forward to your next episode. :-)
Stunning videography! You are going places few if any people will ever see in person. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I like to think of it as a division-of-labor kind of thing where videographers go out and explore for us at home to experience vicariously (done plenty of travel myself, just other stuff).
Also, through technological advancement this has been sort of democratized (it used to be that one dude and his team filming for national broadcast associations) so we can pick whos interpretation we like best.
And yes, at the other end of this technological liberation is the fact that humans are vain and you get the desaster that is selfie traffic jams in randomly beautiful but ultimately rural spots.
That's a superb episode - the videography and your choice of very subtle music really conveys the environment brilliantly. I also love the originality of the aluminium prints - SO much better to be using your creativity rather than taking the convenient option of paid product placement.
I usually watch your videos from another channel, but just wanted to say how much I love them. Your videos are always breathtaking, and you both have a nicely ironic and laid-back delivery that as a Brit, I really appreciate lol.
We looked at your beautiful prints - actually really fair prices and shipping isn’t that bad, so we’re tempted. Talking about it now…
How on earth do you choose only 3 shots?! Must be impossible…you always have such beautiful footage, you could have a million choices.
Keep up the good work and thank you both for making this lovely channel. It’s always a treat to see your videos pop up… 👏 🧊 ⛵️
Something like 20 years ago, I did two paddling trips. One in Icy Bay, and one out of Petersburg up LeConte Bay. There were definitely a couple times where we were very concerned about having the pack close in behind us due to currents and tides.
Not something to be cavalier about.
Beautiful footage. The print idea is so good, you have access to areas and scenery few do and I'd much rather watch an "ad" for your art than for some silly product. Keep going with this... it can really support you in a poetic way.
Hi, Adding my voice to all the people enjoying seeing Sohvi back. Knowing and caring to coordinate her hat, bag, and I'm sure her gloves too, even in the back waters of Alaska, that's the sign of a real, proper Lady.
By the way, I'm so grateful that you are doing this, So I don't have to. I love seeing the sights but I cant stand the cold. I do live in the country next to the one you guys hail from, and spent my first summer in Råneå skärgård, and am now trying to go somewhere tropic for the winter. Yours, Ann
🇨🇦🇨🇦Just love your videos. Best I have ever seen . Such a wonderful scenic views and journey for you both. THANK YOU for taking the World along with you. 🇨🇦🇨🇦 Take care 😊
Thank you for the exciting video you send out, it is so good to see areas other than the sunny Med. I think you both look very nice, look after yourselves. Chris.m
Your better half is back!! YEA, Sophie!!! I love your prints but being retired I'm afraid they are not something I can splurge on. I wish you the best of luck with your sales though!! ❤
For the 9:30 time. There is a Norwegian saying, which probably is also known in Finland. It is never too late to give up. Which means that if any adventure or challenge is too risky it is not at all a shame to give up and turn back. Better safe than sorry. You have made the right choice to not stress that entrance against the glacier river.
We use that all the time in New Zealand too, I think we actually picked it up from you guys! When you're doing something dangerous, safety is the most important thing and you're better off climbing half of a mountain than dying at the summit
I admire your adventurous spirit, allows us to go and see where we may fear to "tread". Excellent video as usual.
Very brave you two ….. and you both made the call 📞 to save all of those lives.
Bless you all forever 🙏
For the new limited edition aluminum prints check out the store here: alluringarctic.myshopify.com/
This print run is limited and only available until the end of the year. I'll see how it goes with these and might release more in the future. What type of prints would you like to see? And which one of the current prints is your favourite? Let me know here in the comments. Will be interesting to see if one emerges as a clear winner...!
For any problems with the website, ordering etc please email me at juho@alluringarctic.com
I like the boat at the dock in British Columbia.
Please, don't take this the wrong way.
You have excellent drone and photography skills. You go to places 99.9% of us never will, and you document them beautifully.
But why limit us to your choices?
I'd be interested in buying a print if it was one I could choose.
Is there anyway you could present us a selection of images and let us vote on the ones we want to buy?
Limit the run to 3 or 4 of the highest voted images, but let us choose from all the stunning shots you produce
Wow what adventures and experiences! Great to see you back again. The pictures look fantastic too! Well done!
You guys Rock. Their is no better adventure channel. Thank you for taking us with you.
I spent a summer in Seward. Juho's photography is gorgeous, but you really can't replicate the blues of the ice. Truly surreal, the air itself is actually blue, especially as the sun gets lower. And the scale of the mountains along that coastline is epic & equally difficult to convey. All you can do is undersell it like they both do here; it's humbling and truly awe-inspiring.
Another great episode with wonderful scenerie. Your boat is indeed made for this it seems.
Wonderful prints.
Wow! I can feel the tension in the air when you entered the glacier river! Great material!
Such beautiful videography and story telling. Keep up the amazing work and thank you.
I’ve only watched half of the episodes so far I have to say that it’s actually one of your best, as far as shear adventure. Seward Alaska is a pretty cool spot. My ex girlfriend and her friends owned a large sailboat there and used to do the local yacht club races. It can get quite windy there.
Looking forward to the episode, showing the rescue. There are several things that I take whenever I go to Scheurer here in Southeast Alaska. One of those being a waterproof handheld VHF radio in a waterproof bag, my Delorme inreach Satellite communicator, a small airhorn, extra water and snacks, and, of course, a canister of bear spray. All of this goes into a dry bag. It looks like the people who you helped rescue didn’t have back up means of communication and that is always a big mistake here in Alaska.
Glad to see you and Sohvi stop and rethink your expedition to the glacial outflow river. An inflatable dinghy is not the very best thing to take for something like that. If I were going to do that myself, I would be in a small aluminum dinghy with an outboard jet drive engine. I owned a 16 foot dinghy with a 50 horse outboard that had a jet drive on it, and I could take it Over wet sand if I had enough speed. Plus, the aluminum was pretty bulletproof. Nonetheless, you were smart to use your oars while around those icebergs. I don’t know if those icebergs were floating or not but if they were floating, just remember, icebergs will flip sometimes.
Welcome back Sohvi!! Great photos!! Your a genius!!
Glad you made it back to the boat safely as I was worried about shifting tidal currents. Thanks for taking the drone in the dinghy for the excellent overhead shots.
hi! the shifting tides were something we thought of before going in... although like you saw, we miscalculated them a bit ;)
20:11 I gotta say Juho's impressed face is much more convincing 😂😂. Almost like a movie star! But Sohvi is the coolest sailor....
Beautiful week to you and Sohvi!🌊⛵🏔️🌼💙
The scenery is other worldly. Stunningly Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing.
Lovely prints, btw.
Again, you both are Great at this. Its not only entertaing but also very edicational. You both are very good at the teck explanations. Thanks again.!!!!
Great coverage of an interesting coastal glacial lake. I know it wasn't necessary where you anchored this time, but it would be interesting to hear about your experience with Lumi's centreboard and retractable stern board, ease of use and how often you retract them, upwind efficiency etc... Thanks for all the great shared experiences!
wow, this seem between fantastic and eerie. I do not know how I earlier missed that episode of yours.
Cheers,
a.
I love your pictures ! Thank you for all those spectacular sceneries and sharing your sailings adventures with us
Lovely from beginning to end! I almost feel like doing some sailing in the frigid north, and I hate the cold.
Absolutely beautiful video! You can go pretty much anywhere on the water in a boat!❤️
Love those prints, really beautiful and a great gift idea for the upcoming holidays!
really glad you like them!
In the future, if you want to move a boat along the shore like at 10:15 you can tie a long line to the rear of the boat and another to the bow on the side closest to you pull the rear line toward where you want to go and the bow will move out away from shore. Balance the tendency of the bow to move away with the forward line. It's an old canoeing trick that can save you wading in the water
Good idea!
Ignore them, Sohvi. I enjoy both of our personalities, as you live this unique lifestyle, and share it with us.
you are so adventourus and brave, no other people will provide us with such amazing footage…ist like being deported to another world….and what a gift you could bethe guardian angels for this other couple in need
I love the prints - With all the views you experience, there is so much more potential to share them... I look forward to more options!
Very nice to see Sohvi again with you. This is one of your best episodes. Tereffic video and location, and love your offer of supplying special prints on aluminum. Will consider purchasing. Thanks!
Love this video. Glad you’re back in Alaska. We missed you.
PS - Welcome back Doctor Sofie.
Sorry. Apple auto correct. Doctor Sohvi
Thank you!❤
You're onto a winner with that photography! Look into it, some photographers do quite well.
Just thinking back to when Lumi was in a sorry old state shoreside and unloved. You brought her back to life and given her the opportunity to enjoy such fantastic adventures. Having now sailed her for quite some while how do you assess her capabilities and is there anything she needs to improve her performance?
I don't think of encountering problems as your miscalculation. This is adventure on the edge. You are planning with available information and making guesses as best as experience allows but proceeding with due caution considering the dangers and isolation. Pat yourselves on the back you are true adventurers (almost New Zealanders) Love the vids, they are great quality so don't minimise your skills. Thanks for sharing. Be safe out there. like to know more about you both and family life etc if you can feel okay to share.
Absolutely stunning cinematography ❤
Outstanding your careful preparation makes this kind of adventure less scary to watch.
I love the way it sounds your language.
That boat won the lottery when you two found her.
😀
Put a couple small foam floats on the drone so it does not sink. (like a sea plane)
Wow, another stunning, amazing video. Such great videography. Thanks for the armchair experience!
Beautiful scenery. People included.
Wow! Incredible footage from such a beautiful place. Lumi is beautiful. Great video!!🥹🤗🤗👍
Great episode! Nice to see Sohvi's impressed face again. 😅
😎😎
If you make it to Homer, AK find Deerfoot II in the harbor and come to dinner.
Thank you, much appreciate your videos, stunningly beautiful as well as lots of boat and sailing info and to top it off you are great people!
Good to see the Boss back.
hiding from the weather. troms 💝 best wishes from new zealand
thanks for your vote! :)
Juho, if you can show us some more impressions on aluminium in the future...I will definitely find one for me... gorgeous work, keep going !
You are right that place is like a whole different world. Beautiful, but deadly at the same time.
Loved this video! Absolutely spectacular footage - just magical. Loving the prints!!!
Great job! That was an adventure that could have gone horribly wrong.
It really is like another planet!
beautiful video guys,glad you got the crew back lol.
Amazing video! You are an inspiring couple, enjoy many more adventures!
Great idea!!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! So amazing!! Spectacular! ❤
That’s my impressed face 😂
welcome to the club! :D
I think the pictures are great. I bought 2 for on my wall
Keep up the great work
This was an excellent video! Thanks for the amazing adventure! Be safe out there.
I appreciate you showing the tricky parts of sailing. That entrance did look dangerous and too shallow!!
Amazing place and your footage amazing.
How to get off that berth? Rig a bow spring and motor forward against it, release the stern line, then, when you're happy your stern is out far enough go into neutral, cast off the spring and motor astern to exit. Headsail leech flapping? Move the car forward. Taking your dinghy to potentially dangerous places? Have an anchor ready and a spare prop for the outboard. Good luck...
These prints are a-ma-zing!
I'm impressed haha! Ps waves might not look big on camera but it is worth saying that cameras seem to shrink wave sizes by over half. Not sure why, some mystical effect I can't explain.
Beautiful and inspiring...I can't wait to sail up north.
Great video amazing place to see.
I think you may have cured the fluttering leech on the genoa if the sheet car had been moved forward a little. The theory goes that if the car is right there is no need to use any foot or leech line for tension to correct the lack of equal pressure as the air flow leaves the sail. Obviously, it is a constantly changing issue as the wind strength changes so not a cure-all.
Lol,a few years ago I was in the exact same spot in Steward with my 18" runabout and got stuck during low tide,. Kudos to you!
Great episode. Good luck with the beautiful prints
Wow! Surreal & magical
Well that ‘not super happy about it’ face was quite believable and understandable. Also love both of y’all’s ‘pretty impressed’ faces. Handsome n pretty.
Dude took my “money shot“ comment seriously and turned the shot into money, the print on demand feature makes this a very valid product and you have soo many great shots to pick from!
Absolutely beautiful photography. thanks so much.
Awesome prints!! I will seriously think about one. I like the ice one. I’m moving so I may have to wait but there are beautiful. Thank you for sticking with your dreams. I remember the early days of your production and I was impressed then and so much more now!! Thank you ❤. 🇨🇦
