This is the start of our winter sailing season! Happy New Year everyone and thanks for watching throughout the year. I went "full time" with video creation this year and it wouldn't have been possible without all of you that watch these videos, and special thanks goes to all the patrons. Regarding the aluminum prints, I had some technical issues with the website earlier and some people were not able to get the their orders in, sorry about that! Because of that I've extended the opening of the print run until the midnight of January 8th. So we're on overtime here already but this is the last chance to get one of the prints, they are available at art.alluringarctic.com . Getting one of the prints is also a great way to support the making of these videos!
Happy New Year, had a humpback whale die naturally years ago in South Australia. Friend made it on the news because he was an idiot enough to jump on top of it. There were about 50 great white sharks eating it's blubber at the time! One slip and he would have been shark food.
@@stephencrowther524no thanks, it's to much about here and the dog. I'm more fan of this original couple and their plans. And no offence, she is totally not our type of person to watch. 0 humour. And the quality of noise/music etc. You can't compare it with this channel!
Happy to “sea” that you are wearing dry suits and life jackets while paddle boarding in those cold waters as cold shock is extremely dangerous, and so many people fail to realize the importance of wearing a dry suit when paddling etc. You create the very best sailing videos on TH-cam !
Yes! When you're doing something dangerous, safety is always important. I know so many people who are so slack about life jackets and the like and it drives me nuts. On my boat, if we're moving then it's life jackets on. I'd rather laugh at how silly it seems on a warm calm day than not have them when something goes wrong. These two are a great example of how to do things right
I worked 25 years in television and making documentaries, including National Geographic, and your channel is really very good. You have nothing to envy of the best and most exquisite productions. Really magnificent.
I single handed my 48 ft Crocker Ketch from Sitka AK to Caig AK back in winter of 1994. Got stuck in Little Puffin Bay for two weeks during a big storm. Had to run lines out to trees on the shore. One of the best two weeks of my life. Ate a lot of fresh halibut.
Absolutely beautiful. I love this boat so much. Fantastic wildlife viewing platform, great.for photographer, fishing expeditions, day sailing and extended cruising trips. Excellent crew too. ✌🏻👶🏻🚬
I was intrigued to see how mild the winter is even in December. Although I now reside in CA I was raised in the Midwest and I think they're having worse weather than Alaska. Alaska is full of surprises.
It is so cool that you guys are sailing Alaska in the winter. I was up there for three salmon seasons, Bristol Bay, Cook Inlet, Kodiak, Seward, Homer, and also a season in Glacier Bay on a tour boat. My point is I was always headed south by end of August, and dreamt of winter on a boat in Alaska. Now you guys are showing me what I missed out on. Thanks for one of the best actual sailing channels on utube.
You two are livin the life we can only dream about. I wouldn’t even consider unless I was sailing for 15 years or more. And knew my sailboat like back of my hand. Much respect to you two. Merry Christmas and HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎊
Our picture arrived well and I gave it to my wife for Xmas -- We have been to that Glacier by boat when on out 2017 four month RV trip to Alaska -- Great place. I enjoy your videos --- Dale
Moment when Juho copied sea lion(and Sohvie joking about it too) roaring was brilliant. Thank you for opening a window to this wondrous and somewhat lonesome region. Fair winds, calm seas and 7 feet under the keel!
Holy smokes! Did you cut your hair?!? I just noticed. As always ... breathtaking footage, editimg snd storytelling. Absolutely one of the best sailing and adventure vlogs on TH-cam. A++++
Thank you again for taking the time to do this filming! The scenery is beautiful and most of us won't get a chance to see it in person. Stay warm. Namaste.🙏
BTW, many commenting about your haircut. BRAVO! Once again, you have me mesmerized as we sail in the breathtaking Prince William Sound area. Thank you for sharing a year stuffed full of amazing stories, scenery, and adventure. Here's to a spectacular 2024! Happy New Year, Juho and Shovi 🥳
My wife and I sailed for 35 years on Lake Erie and then moved to Florida for 25 years and experienced 45 Hurricanes together however......Lost our home a year and a half ago in Hurricane IAN and did in fact moved back to Ohio on Lake Erie....Enjoy your videos..... and have subscribed to your Patreon site and look forward watching you both and your adventures up North...... I was able to camp out in 44 states in the USA parts of Canada near Hudson Bay area and Mexico as well.... we appreciate the value of exploring new places if you have the time to do so and will always value the many wonderful views in so many different locations both on land and on the water and while from time to time faced some extreme weather always survived without any harm to us well worth the effort it always added so much to our lives very enriching as I am sure you will discover.....this time in your lives is priceless
Of all the questions one might ask about the boat, sailing, weather, provisioning, safety, etc. what I would like to know is where you found such a beautiful, willing and capable woman to do it all with. Cheers.
Wonderful adventure. The Sound is a wonderful place to adventure and you are very adventurous to do so in the winter. Feel free to reach out if you need logistic support out of Anchorage.
Sohvi & Juho: I worked for ARCO Marine and was sailing as a @nd Mate on the ARCO Juneau when the Exxon Valdez ran aground on Bligh Rock. We were loading at Berth 3 when we got the news of this disaster. The regulation's changed quickly afterwards. Great episode, beautiful photography and editing. Love the sealions! Happy New Year!
Epic footage as always. Such a great experience eating chocolate from Finland watching Sea Lions 100 meters away! All of Canada and Alaska is experiencing an unusually mild winter this year. Happy New Year to the both of you.
super nice work, unbelievably engaging, great company and top notch sounds, next episode how about a quick rip thru this one key frames for fun and the cliff hanger at the end , why not?
Technology is amazing. Your video was as clear and sharp as 35 mm color movie film, if not better. Your drone shots are excellent! Thank you for sharing this incredible journey.
Winter in BC and Alaska is a well kept sailor’s secret, some of the best cruising that can be had. One must pay a little more attention to the weather as real gales can happen, but the anchorages are open and the wildness emerges. One needs a real furnace tho. I recommend a webasto thermo pro 90 or larger and an Efoy fuel cell for long stays out in the weather.
Great job. Love your videos. Keep it coming. I would be very interested in how you rigged your sails and maybe more of how you sail in various conditions. But I will watch whatever you and Dr Sohvi does.
Thanks for sharing more about you two! You both seem like really interesting people but we rarely get to see you close up, so to speak. Please share more! I've watched almost all your vids and this is my fav... and it's in really good company! All the best to you both for 2024!
The scenery of the places where you go is just stunning! So much more beautiful than the scenery from the Caribbean sailing channels. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Happy New Year 🎉
You’re some of the most fortunate people in the world. Your able to see locations that very few people are able to see . Safe and pleasant travels to you. Enjoying your ventures from Phoenix Arizona USA 08/19/24 temperature 112 f
hyvää uutta vuotta! what an amazing time to be alive, i can sit in my small little house, in a land locked state, and share an adventure half the world away, with two lovely people i will never meet in person, almost in real time. thank you so much for all you share with us. most of us will never leave the state we are born in. work, life, taxes and death happens so quickly. thank you for sacrificing your time together, to share it with all of us. may lumi always have spirits (alcohol) , and wind in her sails.
I love this. My wife and I live in Alaska and in the summer we go on 10~14 day kayak camping trips in PWS. Would love to do it in the winter. Another way to stay warm on board is with a battery operated heated jacket. Tnx for the video.
I just found your channel about two weeks ago and I'm totally hooked! One of the best sailing/ life style channels in TH-cam. Much respect and love from Helsinki! Be safe and waiting for the new video!
I'm really enjoying watching your adventures. When I was growing up with my Finnish father in CA and then in Micronesia, I remember some of his expressions that he'd say when things weren't working out exactly as they were anticipated or planned...one that I heard a lot was: "Jumala meitä almutdon, sisar ja veljet meitä auttamaan!" which I translated to mean: "God begs us, sister and brothers to help us!" Please feel free to teach us viewers any colorful modern day Finnish expressions, if you'd like! Thanks!

Happy New Year! Thank you for your great shows!

_WONDERFUL!_
HAPPY NEW YEAR
There is no sailing channel that earns so much respect as this one. And I have seen a lot of channels......🎉
Me too and I ditto your sentiment:)❤
Yes, you’re right!❤
I agree 💯
Happy New Year 🎆🎊 ✌️
Suggest you watch Sailing Oka Solo.

I was a meteorologist prior to retirement, for 35 years. Many of those years were in Alaska. If you have any questions, let me know.
“Not for the feint of heart” is the expression which extends to most of Alaska.
Sohvi is so adorable..Wishing you both a very happy and healthy New Year..❤
I single handed my 48 ft Crocker Ketch from Sitka AK to Caig AK back in winter of 1994. Got stuck in Little Puffin Bay for two weeks during a big storm. Had to run lines out to trees on the shore. One of the best two weeks of my life. Ate a lot of fresh halibut.
This couple , are just so likeable .
How sweet to have a coffee shop with panoramic views complete with live intertainment!
Thanks much for the field trip!
We love it when Sohvi is more in the vids, thanks
Absolutely beautiful. I love this boat so much. Fantastic wildlife viewing platform, great.for photographer, fishing expeditions, day sailing and extended cruising trips. Excellent crew too. ✌🏻👶🏻🚬
Thanks so much for the date stamp, really brings more reality to the vid knowing when this was
Happy New Year Juho and Sohvi! Safe sailing for 2024
A wonderful way to visit Alaska from the warm comfort of the couch. Keep it up, most enjoyable.
Best sailing channel by far. Good job, guys.
We just recently went through those same storms. 76 knot winds at Port Etches and 100 knots in Knights Island Passage.
I was intrigued to see how mild the winter is even in December. Although I now reside in CA I was raised in the Midwest and I think they're having worse weather than Alaska. Alaska is full of surprises.

I have never been on a sailboat in my 57 years it is on my bucket list and you’re content is amazing I wish the both of you safe travels 🎉🎉❤
Epic footage as always. Happy New Year to the true explorers!

We love all the absolutely striking places! Stay safe and Happy 2024!

Hope you two are staying warm and in a safe place.
Take care and safe sailing for the new year. Sohvi seems happy. That’s good❤️ Maybe it’s the new haircut?
Phantastic video once more. Thanks for sharing. Nice sounds of the sea lions.
What a lovely place to sail and paddle board. Beautiful filming. A big thank you and a fantastic 2024. One Love ❤
What a sail. What an amazing couple! Looking at your hat, have you had a hair cut! Happy New Year from Norway!
Holy smokes! Did you cut your hair?!? I just noticed.
As always ... breathtaking footage, editimg snd storytelling. Absolutely one of the best sailing and adventure vlogs on TH-cam. A++++
I just had to go back and look. Yes. He was certainly due. Nice pick-up. I usually notice things like that.
Have a Brilliant 2024 Guys!....
Happy new year! Keep up the awesome film work.

Such a cute portrait of you two at 6:03 in the video !
Sohvi looked happy and upbeat in this one
so cool - you two are very gutsy paddle boarding in those cold conditions. The drone shots and music were terrific too.
BTW, many commenting about your haircut. BRAVO!

Missing your videos. Hope your both doing well
Wonderful adventure. The Sound is a wonderful place to adventure and you are very adventurous to do so in the winter. Feel free to reach out if you need logistic support out of Anchorage.
Happy new year my friends
Safe travels 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have never been a sailor but I love the water and your program is the best. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Sohvi & Juho: I worked for ARCO Marine and was sailing as a @nd Mate on the ARCO Juneau when the Exxon Valdez ran aground on Bligh Rock. We were loading at Berth 3 when we got the news of this disaster. The regulation's changed quickly afterwards. Great episode, beautiful photography and editing. Love the sealions! Happy New Year!
Sofie's so cute and the scenery so beautiful and you are doing such a great job. Very uplifting.
This brings back memories of sailing in Prince William Sound between Valdez and Cordova a couple years after the oil spill. Always beautiful.
You are indeed two intrepid explorers. Your videos are captivating.
Happy new year! Beautiful film again. Beautiful music. Nice haircut .
happy new year and safe sailing and fair wind
Happy New Year Juho and Sohvi! Safe sailing for 2024 love your content
greetsz from holland/friesland...max......
Big smile on my face (the good way) when Sofi said "Hallo"
Happy Holidays, it's still green here in Parry Sound, Ontario, I don't mind, summer is coming lol ✌️
You clean up well! Good haircut! 😊
omg the shots at 4:20 against the mountains -- and the crisp quality of the cameras -- herrajumala
I received the 2 prints early and they are glorious!
Super cool. It's truly stunning but I am happy to be watching from my sofa with my boat out of the water for the winter. Well done both.
Epic footage as always. Such a great experience eating chocolate from Finland watching Sea Lions 100 meters away! All of Canada and Alaska is experiencing an unusually mild winter this year. Happy New Year to the both of you.
Un joyeux réveillon et une bonne et heureuse année…sail safe et the best for the futur.🍾🥂🎁🎁🙏🏼
Can’t wait for the skiing vids.
…here in Scotland that would be a good snow year!
super nice work, unbelievably engaging, great company and top notch sounds, next episode how about a quick rip thru this one key frames for fun and the cliff hanger at the end , why not?
Great video, thank you so much.
Happy new year 🎈, and happy travels
Juho, did you cut your hair? your hat is much smaller than it used to be.. Absolutely awesome videos!! hope you two have a fantastic new year!
the drone shots around the 7 minute mark were perfect ,Lumi looked like a minature model of herself.
Technology is amazing. Your video was as clear and sharp as 35 mm color movie film, if not better. Your drone shots are excellent! Thank you for sharing this incredible journey.

Clever you two are 🍺😎
Weather forcast are mostly over rated. And to the better 😎
What an amazing life. Words cannot describe how envious I am.
Awesome video. Love the characters eating the gratuity chocolates….thank you for your beautiful work
Sailing into the sunset and paddling in the bay were beautiful. Great video clip!
Great job. Love your videos. Keep it coming. I would be very interested in how you rigged your sails and maybe more of how you sail in various conditions. But I will watch whatever you and Dr Sohvi does.
Happy New Year Juho and Sohvi! Helm the course for 2024 !
Spectacular scenery and video. What an adventure.

Thanks for sharing your story and not hiding the bad parts. Get back out there.
hyvää uutta vuotta!

I like your new look! I also like seeing Sohvi more in since she finished her dissertation.
I love this. My wife and I live in Alaska and in the summer we go on 10~14 day kayak camping trips in PWS. Would love to do it in the winter.
Another way to stay warm on board is with a battery operated heated jacket. Tnx for the video.
You’re fortunate that Alaska isn’t experiencing a “typical” Alaskan winter this year
That is down to perspective. For them it is unlucky to not have typical Alaskan winter :)
I just found your channel about two weeks ago and I'm totally hooked! One of the best sailing/ life style channels in TH-cam. Much respect and love from Helsinki! Be safe and waiting for the new video!
LOL, word you were looking for to describe your high end chocolate is bribe. This was a good one you two.
I'm really enjoying watching your adventures. When I was growing up with my Finnish father in CA and then in Micronesia, I remember some of his expressions that he'd say when things weren't working out exactly as they were anticipated or planned...one that I heard a lot was: "Jumala meitä almutdon, sisar ja veljet meitä auttamaan!" which I translated to mean: "God begs us, sister and brothers to help us!"
