Thanks for watching guys! And just because I forgot to include a timestamp in this one, the footage was shot in April/May 2023. Sohvi has now got her doctoral dissertation officially approved, so congrats Dr Sohvi!
yeah your siknes was becaus of the beer with banane i dont know why but it makes you throw up we use that in initiation rituals in the army^^
congratulations sohvi doutora
Awesome shots of the lights!! Awesome skiing as well. I will be in the sound fishing this coming week. I'm not sure where you guys are now. I love the sound it's so pretty, great fishing, and a lot of whales. I hope you are enjoying your time in our beautiful state. If you need anything let me know
Congratulations Sohvi! Any chance of a link to your thesis?
@@archibaldandres2968f they haven't already shared Sohvi's last name that would dox her. But I'd also like to read her thesis
One of my closest friends from high school went to Alaska to work during the summer and she stayed there. She built her own log cabin, became an expert seamstress that sold custom Anoraks to wealthy tourists, raised sled dogs and competed in races with her team and lived a life filled with joy and adventure. She lived in Alaska for about 40 years before she was diagnosed with an incurable brain disease. Rather than become totally disabled and live in a bed, she wrote me a 5 page letter explaining her condition and decision to fly to Switzerland where she was able to use their laws to end her life. Rest in Peace, Becky. You lived 3 people’s lives in your one. I hope you are leading your team in the next life my friend. We miss you ❤
That's a difficult but simple life ending decision to make. She didn't want to suffer dying. She wanted to die while she was functional. Was she an American Citizen or dual Citizenship? 2 years ago this Thanksgiving, my Brother (age 66) who lived in Oregon was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer and hung himself in his house. He was divorced and had 3 children late 20's. 2 months ago, a friend of mine age 60, shot himself in the head and died from the injury. Both people never mentioned suicide to me before they killed themself.
@@sanfranciscobay My sincerest condolences to you for your losses. My friend was an American citizen. She was a resident of the state of Washington, which has laws that allow for assisted suicide but she didn’t meet the requirements of our state. Her personal physician, along with several other specialists in that particular field, told her she had a limited amount of time to live but she would progressively get worse and lose her ability to use her body, essentially becoming totally disabled and not able to control any bodily functions. And with her condition worsening, she would have to deal with intractable pain issues. Rather than taking a slow, painful path towards the end, she chose to fly to Switzerland, which has more liberal euthanasia policies. Her doctor supported her decision and provided her with the information that she could use to make an informed choice. Her research included having multiple conversations with me, as my older brother made a similar decision to stop all medical interventions when he contracted Covid and died from the damage caused by the illness. We had long conversations about suicide and how it affected the people left behind and the arguments for and against euthanasia. I cannot imagine how alone she must have felt in Switzerland, without any family or friends to be there with her at the end. I think that is what haunts me to this day. I’m not a wealthy person, nor is anyone in her family. Knowing this, she kept the decision to herself and left goodbye letters for her family and some close friends. I think she didn’t want anyone close to her to put themselves into debt, because I am sure that her family would have mortgaged themselves to send someone to be with her at the end. I hope she had a chance to view the beautiful mountains of Switzerland before she passed. I know she loved the wild outdoors.
@@briangarrow448 Very sad for her. I believe there's volunteers who sit near you so nobody dies alone. She sounds like a very strong person to do this. The option of living until you die sounds much worse.
@@SonjaBruenzels To make matters worse, since I'm not "next of kin" (his 3 children are) nobody will tell me the details and share what his suicide note said. I want to know more about his medical diagnosis and his state of mind when he decided to suicide. His ex wife and 3 children won't tell me.
@@briangarrow448 I'm 66 and got Covid Jan 2022. I spent 4-5 weeks lying down, too weak to move. Took 1-2 months to recover. Caught second strain August 2022. That put me down for 3 weeks. Not as bad as the first time. I'm unvaccinated. How did Covid affect your Brother?
Sohvi is perfectly calm in that narrow channel and while docking. You definitely found someone special with her!
Congratulations on your PhD
accomplishment Sohvi
Great photography guys …I enjoyed your capture of the solitude and peace of your
Journey
Are they sailors who ski or skiers who sail? Either way they are damned good at both! Thanks to everyone who supports these fantastic film makers. Your generosity allows all of us to continue to be mesmerized by their life.
hi! this is a great thought, it might not be obvious from the videos but personally i actually consider myself more a skier than a sailor!
@@AlluringArctic That is exactly what I would have guessed! Anyone who would dedicate a year of their life finding, buying, and refitting a boat to sail to a difficult location so they could ski from the vessel has definitely got snow in their veins. Of course, you could have travelled to a skiing destination in a much easier, less expensive way but you chose to sail! And that why I’m here. I find your story very compelling.
mountain climber?
Sisu
Holy cow.
Lovely
Sohvi docking was awwsome
thank you! Sohvi says hi!
thank you! Sohvi says hi!
TH-cam needs to promote this channel more
I just found it 05/21/24. Peace Out!
Came into my feed 6/6/24, great content!
Recipe for pancakes: 3 whole eggs, 1 big cup (2dl) of milk, 2 cups of water, 1 tea spoon of salt, 2 tea spoons of sugar. Add flour until thick enough to be easily distributed! :D After whipping, let it sit for 15ish minutes, for flour to start working,.
The best kind of crew - bringing a new drone and never gets seasick. Your photography is back to the highest standard once again.
Pro Tip: Run a strong wire centerline and clip into that. If your safety harness is clipped into an exterior line and you're washed overboard, you'll just be drug through ice-cold water, cold-soaked, and may not be heard by those onboard. But if you're clipped to a center line and keep your safety harness line short, it's highly improbable you'll be washed overboard at all. If structures like the mast impede movement, use two lines/clips from your harness to the center line. That way, you can always be clipped in with at least one line as you move past centerline structures.
One only survives for minutes at those water temperatures and the cold hampers the movement of muscles until one can't move at all! Be save, we love you all!
@@DeanCokerit isn't just minutes even though the water is dangerous.
I was sailing in rough weather in Northern call and was just clipped into the boat with along and was knocked over board while the boat was moving along took all my strength to crawl back into the cockpit. I cut a section of climbing rope and did exactly like you said and it allowed me to sail single hand at night in rough weather totally secure no matter where I had to go. I don't understand why more people don't use that system?
Good advice - we are also changing to a more centerline life-wire. It makes sense ❤. Allways a hand-broad water under your keel 😉
I was in Fairbanks, Alaska, 1980 . Spent 9 years there after coming home from Vietnam. The Northern Lights brought me back to the wonderful things God had to offer wretched souls. Thank you for capturing thoses memories for me!❤😊
the skiing segment is truly amazing
Nice to see some free heel tele skiing. So smooth and graceful to watch when done this well!! Well done.
holy shit the northern lights with the sunrise was incredible, well the whole video was like shot professionally, really good
OMG, you nailed this passage. Absolutely the BEST Sailing channel on UTUBE, the cinematography and sound is phenomenal. All this combined with Sohvi great news makes this episode outstanding, CONGRATS Dr, Sohvi, super impressive.
You are better then Hollywoods movies❤ Safe sailing guys👍
Absolutely.
Kinda very rare footage for a single video - sailing and skiing. I'm glad you finally found the right place to have fun. Keep up, guys!
Dare to ski, where most would not even walk! Truly adventurous. Stay safe.
Why you guys don't have a million subs??? Thanks for sharing your adventurous journey.
Wow, a little bit of everything great- sailing, skiing, scenery, with some northern lights thrown in. Amazing. (:
Congratulations Dr Sohvi, great achievement completed while making some difficult passages. Great videos.
Wow! 39 minutes. Thanks for the hard work editing a long episode. What beautiful scenery.
Thank you once again for sharing your voyage with me. Such beautiful landscapes. A true voyage of a life time. Came to the realization that if all the women in Finland are as pretty, hardworking, with a smile as much as Dr. Sovhi then I live in the wrong country. Safest travels to you both, may the wind always be with you. Look forward to the next part of the trip. :]
One of the most creative guys on TH-cam.
These videos never disappoint. What beautiful scenery you captured. I'd love to see the northern lights in person again.
You are so right brilliant videos.
I am happy for you guys. What an exciting time. The North Pacific, Skiing, Sohvi With her PHD!!
These are good times. Take good care of yourselves.🤙🎉🧜🥳
You are killing it with the photography absolutely stunning, the boat shots, what can i say she looks sleek ready to cross oceans 👌🏻✊🏻🏴
This is why I watch this channel. Great video!
Love the story, filming and editing! Well done!
This was an awesome episode. The Northern Lights at sunrise was beautiful, and going skiing after the crossing was perfect…and joyous. You earned the Finnish after-ski. Sohvi!congrats on the successful reception of your thesis 🎉🎉😊.
Now …fingers and toes crossed for a triumphant defense.
You’ll do great. We’re all supporting you.
Thank you!
Your some very amazing people! You sail all over just to rest for a bit and then literally “walk” to the top of a mountain just to ski down it! You deserved your “bow party” !
You Finlanders are FREAKING NUTS !
🎉Congratulations Sohvi on your doctorate. Glad it all went well. Juho love the Arctic sailing videos . Glad I can watch on land because I would probably be the sickest of all of you on the sea. 🤢Stay safe & enjoy Alaska & all its beauty. 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸
Congratulations Dr Sohvi and also to you Juho for awesome photography.
Beautiful filming!
WOOOHOOOO! Congratulations Sohvi!!!!! Great skiing video as well. Keep up the great work everyone!
Your great adventure in the north is just beginning. Safe travels . A beautiful sailboat. Excellent videography .
Absolutely insane skiing footage!
Incredible footage. You guys rule! Congratulations Dr. Sohvi!!
Thank you. I watch each video 2 or 3 times while waiting for the next one. They are gorgeous, and the music choices are a perfect. This is a classic adventure that we can all follow along for the ride, and what a ride. BTW, my after-skiing drink is hot chocolate with a shot of peppermint Schnapps and a marshmallow. Decadent.
peppermint hot chocolate is our favorite as well!! didnt have it there thou :(
Making the leap to full time filmmaking has been your best decision Juho - these recent films are just stunning and I absolutely LOVE the channel even more than I did right at the beginning. Huge congrats on all your recent achievements - it's so fun to follow you guys. x
2 things that would make me seasick instantly would be beer and a banana and watching the camera work on Swedish Rap ! But oh how I love your camera work - the feeling of being on the ocean is captured so beautifully and I love the touches of red on the boat- it takes my breath away when you are under full sail! And the Northern Lights! And the skiing, unbelievable!!!!! And Congratulations to the lovely Dr Sohvi ! ❤️
I really appreciate you guys. I been watching for almost 2 years and one day I willbe well off enough to help support you. I really appreciate
I have sailed the gulf of Alaska in a 400ft naval frigate. I cannot imagine doing it in a sailboat. Those are the roughest seas I have ever sailed and I have sailed around most of the world. Good on you!!!
HI, First off, congratulation on how the channel is growing. You totally deserves it.
Second off, I'm still amazed that you are in this nature, with these gorgeous anchorages (and yes, the ones in "civilisation" too) and being completely alone (well maybe not in "civilization" but 20 year round people is completely acceptable). Not another boat in view, compered to where I am where you cannot find any spots after 4 pm, and you're parked in bunches of three or four at the docks. I'm not here for the skiing, somewhat for the sailing but mostly for the nature and views.
Thirdly off, I'm guessing that Sohvi has defended her thesis by now and is a fully fledged PhD. My sincere congratulations.
And fourthly off, I find it so refreshing that you have the gumption to call a spade a spade with your Patreon speech. Honestly that's what all Patreon searching content creators want, because they want food on the table and clothes to wear. The most outraged ones are the few people getting insanely rich from that platform, but as far as I've heard they are few and far between. If they want to scam their Patrons, that's between their conscience and them, isn't it. I hope you now have enough people for you having a living wage. Yours, Ann
Outstanding film making, not only sailing. You are the best!
Thank you for these videos.
Thank you for taking me along on your adventure. What beautiful scenery.
Congratulation to the Dr, she deserves more that a shot of Vodka! Best video this year on YT with outstanding content and subliminal photography. Coke should support you too! Your both very fortunate and it's of your own doing. Love what you do. xx
I have watched sailing videos for the last 4 years, unfortunately I am not able to do this. I really enjoy seeing what everyone is getting to do. Yet? After all this time I was bored with some of the other ones I have subscribed to and came across your page. At first, I was very skeptical, however I soon found that I was very addicted to what you produce. First of all, I compliment you for your work, but the more I watch you I can appreciate your knowledge and expertise in sailing. Your choice of boat was superb. It never seems to have the difficulty as I see in the other groups I watch. If I were to ever want to have someone teach me, it would be you. I wish I could be a patron right now, just that like you I am in between jobs. I work in NDT/GD&T. Seems like there is a lot of it, just now the market is wanting more and more additional skills as we move into the future. I am thankful for all that you do and look forward to seeing the next video on the seat of my pants. All the best.

Cinematic Magic! Some of the best video footage on TH-cam. Congrats to Dr. Sohvi. She now is the top rank person on the boat - hence the new captain.
Loved this episode. Epic!
I flew down to Sitka and met my friend on his 35' sail boat. We were going to sail to Kenai and first we stopped at Elfin Cove. Cute little village. Salmon berries and humming birds everywhere.
We left there and tried to cross the gulf but we were hit with what looked like 30' waves. They appeared to be as high as the mast but fortunately they were not breaking. ! We found shelter and ended up aborting the crossing.
Congratulations Sohvi. Well done, and definitely deserves a kiss from him!
Dr. Sohvi PhD, Well done on getting your doctorate. All the hard work has finally paid off with you getting it. Your also a natural sailor and it appears that nothing will fraze you while your at sea.
The path less traveled. Thanks for providing us with such beautiful content and reminding us all to get out there and enjoy it.
Ok dude, I finally joined as a patron. Because of your well made videos, they take me to a place where I will never sail, because of the skiing and because of Dr. Sohvi. Keep having fun.
Sohvi docked the sailboat like a boss. 5 out of 5 I would say. Glad to see you have help now which lets you rest a little more while sailing and incase of any trouble. Stay safe and thank you for the video. Right now it is over 40 celsius in Texas where I live.
This is an amazing episode guys. I am so happy you finally got top ski directly from your S/V. Thanks so much.
Awe inspiring! Great skills. It is a privilege to be able to share in the amazing adventures that you are having.
Congratulations Dr Sohvi. Wicked Northern lights Guys. What a welcome. And that Skiing! So envious. Good on ya. Kiaora.
kia ora David, and thank you!
@@AlluringArctic Your most Welcome man. You are an Insperation for me to get my Butt into gear and get our own Yacht ready for Sailing this Summer. Cheers.
27 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS THAT WAS AMAZING, THAT WAS SO VERY BEAUTIFUL, I AM LOST FOR WORDS , I AM NOT YELLING JUST SEEING BETTER, SORRY CAPPS, GOD BLESS ALL BE SAFE, THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT
Dr. Sohvi nailed the docking procedure, Good Job. Cool Anchorage, fun skiing
Your drone footage really makes your videos. You are a great photographer and sailor.
Good to see you. Beautiful how your boat makes her way through the water. She is such a good sailor (as are you). Congratulation, Sohvi on your good news.
Wow, this was my favourite video of yours! Skiing, sailing, landscapes, cooking, & partying. It had everything. Great work.
Such a fantastic adventure! Congratulations Dr. Sohvi fantastic accomplishment!!! One last thing both of you must have heard the saying when young... walk the path less traveled.. good for you!
Juho, you've done some amazing things in your previous videos, but this was a but special! If this is the future of Alluring Arctic in terms of film making and content you're gonna smash it big time!! Im blown away right now 👏
i wish I could support you guys but as an old age pensioner and arm chair sailor living on my own boat I must also watch my pennies. Enjoy your journeying very much.
Wonderful scenery. Thank you
I've heard that the beer and banana combo will get you every time! Kudos on that massive climb before ski.
Thank You for letting me ski on top of your helmut! Great video! Congratulations Dr. Sovhi!
Marvelous film, great pictures as always. Thanks for going the extra mile to get to get those pictures, especially those drone shots even when the going gets tough. And many congratulations Doctor, now Juho doesn't have to worry about bursting his appendix on the high seas!
unfortunately Im not that kind of a doctor :D
Woohoo! One of your best. episodes. ever! We worked in the ski industry for 17 years before moving aboard our sailboat 7 years ago, so this episode was a joy to watch, as all are your episodes, really. It was so good to see you back at the top of a mountain. You are reaching your goals and taking all of us along with you, thank you. Cheers and congratulations to Sohvi, well done!
Cooking Tip: If the batter is too thin, or you have used insufficient eggs then you may find that your pancakes break up easily and fall apart.
Interesting content
Sail on Safely
God bless ❣️
First of all,congratulations Doctor! Nothing like corn snow ,on a spring morning.Again congrats on your accomplishment.✌🏻
What an incredible video. I cannot believe you didn't put skiing in the title. It could be its own video. It was jaw dropping.. Amazing content!
Wow,
I’ve made that Gulf of Alaska many times, and I’ve never seen it as calm as the trip that you guys have made.
Thanks for sharing your trip. Take care, all the best, and God bless.
A retired North Pacific, Bering Sea, and West Coast Commercial Fisherman and survivor,
✝️🇺🇸🌊🌊⛴🌊🌊⚓️
yes we got lucky with the weather!
In the open water sailing part of the video, the background looks so amazing, it looks fake as if it were a painted background for a hollywood film in the 1960s! Nice work.
Excellent!!! One of your best episodes! Glad it was long, didn't want it to end.
Episode on your drone routine details sometime?
great movie, great shots, especially from drone. That feeling to ski on the virgin snow... must be breathtaking.
Congrats for the adventure. Congrats PhD, doctor Sohvi .
Your videos are very addictive and enjoyable. . keep um coming
Dude you make the most peaceful videos 😎.
Thank you so much for watching these beautiful imagery.I like your boat made in my country !
Congratulations Dr. Ms. Suhlvi. Wonderful videography. Really, really enjoying this trip with you. Thank you for taking us along.
...some real telemark style from your friend there... epic vidd.
We stayed at Yakutat as we travelled down the Inside Passage on the MHS (Marine Highway System) Ferries. Loved the area. I have been hanging out for your next video and this video was fantastic great yacht, good sailing and superb skiing. Truly exceptional.
"maybe we should prioritize keeping a lookout instead of filming"
Listen to her mate, she speaks sense.
Thanks for the passage and the northern lights. So beautiful Alaska.
You guys are awesome! Living your dream and sharing the amazing views from a very inaccessable part of the world, unreachable for most people.
Thank you so much. You have taken me to places I didn't dare to have dream of.
Awesome video! Really well edited and entertaining! Great job.
thank you!
Super video, crossing the Gulf. You manage to show the scary ocean swell from the camera on your boat. Glad to see you back to skiing again. Sovhi has a master in sailing and doctoral in International Relations. Great job.
Another incredible video. American pancakes: 1 cup flour, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of butter or oil, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 cup milk (or water or buttermilk). Mix until you make a thick batter. If mix is too thick, add a little more milk. Put some butter or oil in griddle or pan and add some pancake mix. When bubbles appear flip and cook the other side. Use about medium heat.
Just a brilliant episode, breathtaking. You must be really pleased with your endeavours indeed. Your are in your dreams. There is another couple out on their first boat on You tube I watch called Tula Tribe, their phrase to describe their journey
‘We’re bloody doing it!’
You are too.
Congratulations on the first mate getting her Ph.D
Watch out for bears.

What a well deserved privilege, motor sailing into the beautiful sunset with good company.
Salut.
Lumi fits so well with the beautiful scenery! Stunning views and videography. you are really living my dream!
Well done..we love your drone shots of the yacht with amazing backdrops.
Thanks for all your hard work,
Beautiful/stunning video especially the shots of you climbing up the mountain with the sea in the background. Great to see some telemarketing skiing .
Wow! What an unreal video friend, this is the dream!!! Epic sailing & skiing and awesome videography/editing. Congrats on making it across the Gulf you guys (and congrats Dr. Sohvi). Cheers!
It's the cheerful climbing of 1000's of metres for 20 minutes skiing that I can't get my head around! Although I reluctantly accept that the views are unlike anything I've seen in more sanitised Alpine mountains. Brilliant channel.
I know nothing about sailing or skiing but this is amazing, best thing I've seen on youtube
Amazing, majestic scenery! Sailing Alaska on my bucket list! Enjoy!
The skiing is insanely good :) Great job as always.
