Thank you for watching everyone. We've hit 100 000 subscribers too, so this is a bit of a special episode! 🥳 What did you think, was it too long or are you one of those that like longer videos? I don't necessarily plan on releasing many such long videos in the future (so much work to edit 😬), but for this one I felt like I needed to cover a larger span of time to make the story complete...
Keep em long! ppl can pause. TH-cam remember where u wher last time u left off. Especially for fans like me its perfekt :D Or short! It dont really matter to be honest =) I know the HUGE mindspace it goes in to telling a story and sometimes its just enough or you just have to go on =) Cheers / The Maxi Racer guy from sweden
I like it long as long as there is something happening 👍 this one was great thanks
🎉👍🍻
I like longer videos. And I can also split them. Finished my Norwegian felted shoes at least the knitting part. Where can I order Finnish wool pants that you have shown a while ago?
I like the longer videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures. You're inspiring me to do the same some day. Love from California.
The most cruising thing I heard in a bit.
"It leaks less then the last one, we'll call it a win" . Love it.
yeah... :D
I really like to watch these excursions as well as the remarkable cool of the skipper.
I love the long ones. It is like reading an complete article, and not just the headlines. Best wishes from Germany.
Hi Juho, thanks for letting us be part of your journey! For me, this video was not too long at all!
About your Centerboard: we had a Maracuja 39 some time ago, which was the smaller sibling of your Alumi. For quite a while, Garcia made the centerboards, that they have play sideways. Under side pressure they set on the sides with a slight angle. The idea was to give it a better upwind performance. Maybe you noticed, that the bushing in the centerboard was not cylindric, then it was definitely made on purpose like that. Also, the centerboard is not totally unweighted, it has some lead inside at the back side, to keep it in down.
It's floating in nearly perfect sailing position under water (I installed our centerboard after a repair while the boat was in the water).
We learned, that It was most comfortable to sail with the centerboard partly up when going abeam and completely up, when sailing on a broad reach or downwind. The boat movements were also better with the boards up and the chance that you broach, is nearly zero without centerboard.
We newer locked the centerboard down, it stayed in position by itself and it would be able to pivot, if we hit something with the boat. For the same reason, we kept the small daggerboard behind the skeg mostly up, or at least higher than the skeg. As hitting something serious with the daggerboard down could possibly break the daggerboard box, which is most likely weaker then the daggerboard itself. We completely lowered the daggerboard only when needed for upwind sailing.
Congratulations to your boat, I am sure, you will going to love it. We were very happy with ours. Sailing performance was very good except for upwind, but that's what you pay for a boat, with an inboard ballast (and 1m draft).
All the best, enjoy life and stay safe. Rolf
Hi Rolf, I made a comment about the aft daggerboard in another video about a construction error in a few (the first?) mid-80 years' Maracuja and Nouanni. I've read, and was also told by an owner, that a Maracuja sank within minutes after the daggerboard box welds failed after hitting something with the aft daggerboard, and that Garcia contacted the owners to warn them and recommended a specific reinforcement. Do you happen to know anything more about that?
thanks @rolf6734 and @fredflintstone8664 , it's a late reply but I've noticed your comments! We use the centerboard much the same way as you. we're aware of the daggerboard box issue and I have seen photos of the destroyed daggerboard box. Ours is partly reinforced and might need to check into reinforcing it more, not completely sure. I'm trying to ask Garcia for more specifics, usually they get back with a reply but it might take a month or two (or three...)
09:05 "... I just recorded the VHF radio because I thought it would look more dramatic on video" Hahaha I LOVE!!! Brilliant!
0K back to the video.
Very nice as usual, thank you!
It was 😅
During my bout with Covid I binge watched Alluring Arctic Sailing for 3 weeks! I’m catching up with 4 year old episodes. Old Man loves your adventures. Stay sailing❤
Great video. Yes, there is one thing that gets you safely over the bar………… patience! Love the channel. Your boat and your personalities. Keep it up. And, you deserve a bigger audience.
Really appreciate you taking me on my first journey over the Columbia bar. A Oregonian born and raised, always hearing of vessels in distress on Columbia bar ,really have admiration for those taking the challenge. Enjoy the scenic and calm of the strait Juan de Fuca Until next time calm winds.
I’ve been subbed for a couple years. I don’t follow extremely closely, but enough to know the channel’s general arc, and I love love love it.
The couple is mindblowingly informed and are able to present in a comprehensive and entertaining manner.
The knowledge and information is gargantuan.
Just wow
I am sure you just want to sail but I really enjoy your refit/boat work videos! I learn loads
It’s never too long, loved it, filming and talk exceptional . Boat is looking great. Bring on the next one.
Being resourceful, Common sense, being practical, and safety seem to be at the forefront with this guy
I am impressed you figured out the centerboard solution and the leaky shaft drive solution, installed the Raymarine autopilot and replaced the windows quickly. Excellent boatsmithing. Congratulations.
I am so happy to see another video from you!!! Wishing you all the best from France!
You have a very unique channel, never stop!!!
Congratulations on 100K subscribers! It's great to see your new boat out sailing since the refit and all the hard work you both put into it. Safe travels and happy sailing for 2023!!
II found this episode to be extremely enjoyable. You have been through the fire together,. and the filthy beast cleaned up well l(with a huge effort) and turned out to be very good investment. . And now we get to participate vicariously through your videos. What a treat.
Great episode. Very challenging piece of water. Well done guys . Welcome to Canada 🍁
You guys are in for some beautiful scenery, I'm in the comox valley and used to sail in desolation sound. Dont mind the rain and enjoy the inside passage.
Desolation Sound, hottest ocean water north of Baja California... home of Refuge Cove :)
26:38, I was at the lookout point in 2015. Thankyou very much or showing this to us. Kind regards, and greetings from Africa.
I must say your an amazing mechanic.....it seems you can handle any issue that may arise with the boat .....the boat looks great BTW
A brick of a vessel and I am amazed at what you accomplished in such a short period of time to get her seaworthy. This was a terrific catch-up and the moon light shots were very special. Looking forward to more adventures.
CONGRATULATIONS ON 1000,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!!!
YOU REALLY DESERVE IT GUYS✌🏼💗😊⛵
Hi Donna. Inflation is high at the moment, but a million isn't the new 100,000 yet! 🙂 You've got an extra zero in your number there. hehe.
great video ,I spent 20 years sailing georgia straight out of vancouver BC ,you will love it , killer whales ,strong tides further north and beautiful wilderness sailing ,lots of logs in the water from log booms being towed . Reality sailing channels are the best , I look foreward to your future adventures .
Beautiful Music and Fantastic News. Thanks to Lumi , Crew and Supporters..☝️❤️🌍🇿🇦
My son lives in Comox, I have enjoyed everywhere you go, but especially this one.
you take me to places that I can't get to!
Safe sailing!
Good to see you back on the water. Beautiful shots, thanks for sharing your adventures with us land lovers.
Your confession regarding using the Internet versus VHF for Wx reports brought me a chuckle. Thank you and happy sailing!
Im impressed with you both, as many sailors head towards warmer waters, you all are heading north to cold northwest. Safe travels.
It DID look more dramatic on video! 😂 and not too long! Perfect I would say. Your videos are a mood, better to get into if a bit longer!
I love the sweater she has. I had one like that that my Mom got me when she was in Finland. Can't find sweaters like that anywhere.
I love you guys and look out for your videos more than any other channel. It's great to see you headed north, anticipating the next leg. Cheers from Bristol. Keep warm.
Watching this one fort he second time. You two have become my favorite utube sailing channel!
This was a wonderful episode. Congratulations on 100K and kudos for you both being so competent and adventuresome.
Fantastic video. Great work fixing the keel. Despite the problems I think she will be a great boat.
Congrates getting to 100K subscribers
Congratulations Juho and Sohvi for 100k+ subscribers. It has been a long road from your start but you did it by sharing beautiful videography and telling a unique story relative to the other sailing cruisers on TH-cam. Another great video. Lumi looks amazing out on the water and I enjoyed this segment of her journey. Thanks for sharing!
the both of you did one hell of a job on that boat compared to when you first stepped aboard her. looks like it was worth the time spent. stay safe you two.
So exiting to see you sailing the new boat!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm a lake sailor.you're are so enjoyable to have just before sleeping..have to check out your progress n adventures. Some scary n some places you get to are so "off road" truly a great adventure.
Thanks again David
Glad your "fully" underway now, boat looks good, safe travels. Thanks.
While in the USN, my ship was stationed in Portland. I've been over that bar about 40+ times... Sometimes the swells were over 35ft; very rough. No matter what the weather was doing, we always had a pilot with us... Good luck !
Nothing beats being taken along REAL sailing! Nothing Mambi-Pambi or pretentious. Love the video
Your the most original and authentic producers in your content, also fearless. Enjoy you both and hope to be able to contribute to the cause soon, love...
Glad you had a safe trip and many important chores/repairs completed or at least , "a job well begun is a job half done."
We really love your channel and the videos you take time to make so we can share your journeys with us. Thankyou So much. All the best for 2023. Keep warm and well fed. Stay safe. Take care xxxx congratulations on 100,000 subscribers
Keep going. There’s nothing worse then a video without an ending to the segment your doing. Good job I’m enjoying the cruise
I did enjoy the rehab of this boat, but this is what really makes that work worthwhile. Watching it glide through the sea and giving you guys the enjoyment of the journey. I have mainly sailed in lakes that are landlocked. But I have had 3 vacations when we actually went out away from land and absolutely loved the sailing. Looking forward to more great sails at times that others deem not worthy to do so.
Lots of "Fun" and beautiful water ahead. From Clarence Strait to Hagemeister Island to Cape Douglas and False Pass. There are even a few hot springs to enjoy along the route. :-D
You are a brilliant, often quite humorous narrator and I love watching all your videos whether you are working on the boat or sailing.
09:00 gave me a good laugh! Beautiful film! This is one of a few channels that I watch in real speed...others 1,5...
I've found your channel yesterday and i start to watch every your movie. Cheers from Poland!
I love watching your videos, beautiful scenery, informative and relaxing.
Thank you, from Toronto ⚓️
I have enjoyed several TH-cam episodes just today. I've enjoyed them very much and will continue. I've subscribed. Good enjoyed very much. Gordon from Utah USA
im so glad ive found your vids you show another side of sailing i quiet emjoy the far north climate and the different conditions this gives a welcome relief and i enjoy imensly......
Y'all have an all ocean seagoing train! Lovely boat and she has legs. Best of luck in all your future endeavors. Fair wind and following seas...
Awesome you two. Keep it up
Beautiful shots..you keep the video interesting..wish you guys all good…Glenn ..nyc
Oh wow guys! Really lovely and well documented journey on the cost to coast route, I did the mountain bike version a few years back! After watching your channel for ages I finally have a sailing boat now and it's in the lake district on Ullswater. If you guys come to the lakes again I'd love to take you guys climbing, the lake district is trad heaven. I was at the lion inn on Blakey ridge last weekend, so must have just missed you guys. Take care. Mark
Neah Bay, Olimpic Peninsula, magical beautiful place.
Superb videography and commentary, including the music. Length was fine, as if I watched a short movie. Thanks!
You have a phantastic boat. She will bring you anywhere. Thanks for your great videos.
Greetings from Germany.
Edited & presented in a very appealing manner. Congratulations.
A first class video, Juho. Lovely light, too, especially your moonlight pics. I hope the swing centreboard now behaves itself and your comments about the cockpit position and shelter must be reassuring when you are in less familiar waters.
As Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote for Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
😃
Thanks! We enjoy your videos! Safe travels!
Thanks a lot for a very good and interesting video. Your channel is absolutely one of the best sailing channels right now. Waiting for the next one and hope you will not have any problems with the centerboard. All the best to both of you from Greece.
Ahoy, from Victoria, Yuho and Sohvi.... It was nice to hangout with you both on your boat and on the dock when you came through. I hope you got to play in the big snow dump we had just after you left. Great video, not at all too long.....and I look forward to seeing the ones to come.
Sailing north is the best way. We sailed twice around Nordkapp in Norway (from the Netherlands) on our 34feet yacht. Then 79 and 70 years old.
Amazing sailor of cold water, brave man, great captain, nice couple
I knew exactly where you were by the title of this video. Its nice to see another sailing channel passing through. The Colombia River is such an important part of WA and OR. Not just because of shipping but also fishing and power. There are several dams that produce a lot of power for the region. I know you are making your way North but do take the time to enjoy the beauty of the islands here. There are a lot of hidden gems all along the inside passage. Looking forward to seeing your discoveries along this beautiful cruising ground. I would like to see more of it my self and one day I will.
Hi, great to watch, esp the drone views. Thank you for doing these. loving them. All of them, sailing and boat refit. Yes liked the longer one also. Best wishes from New Zealand.
Love both of you and I don’t even know you personally. Great adventure and I look forward to your next video. Thanks much.
Thanks for the lovely video. I got a feel for what it's like out on the Pacific coast. And learned about the Columbia Bar. I didn't know it was so dangerous before this. Good luck from Iowa.
Brilliant and informative with adventurous as well... perfect video, many thanks. Be safe
Welcome to Beutiful British Columbia 🇨🇦
Wonderful episode.
SAFE PASSAGE NORTH !
Back to sea and what I think is your happy place, especially when it is taking you to the mountains and some skiing. I used to do both, but never have I been lucky enough to ski from the yacht. Happy times to you both and the longer the better. Bon voyage from England.
Sweetest boat and crew on the seas to adventure to new places! Thanks for your sharing! I have read books of early Northwest passage crews and much history! Cannot wait to travel West to East on this part of the planet! God speed!
Thanks for sharing your progress north.
Take care, all the best, and God bless.
✝️🇺🇸🌊⛴🌊⚓️
Congratulations on 100k subscribers.
your boat looks so much better from when you first got her. Amazing!
I like the mix of sailing and boat work, and also the Finish calm way to solve your issues!
I wish you all the best on your trip to the north!
Thank you for sharing your travels, truly enjoy watching.
thank you for sharing, congratulations on the addition to the family
Grazie per i vostri video!!!!!! Un saluto dall'Italia. Giovanni
Very very nice! I'm here for the adventure - - anticipating where you are going!!! Full feature plz
Enjoied watching your journey . watch out for them Big logs 😲
Looking forward to the next video and hope that you find some Snow. Here in Michigan we are expecting more snow on Wednesday. Take care and safe passage
This looks like the perfect boat for you. Loving your channel
Congratulations on the 100,000, You are a Great and hard working knowledgeable couple, We Love Your Videos!, Best Regards!
I have only Crossed the Columbia River Bar once, my first trip frommy home port of Crescent City, commercial fishing, where I went into another port. It is a wonderful experience when conditions are good.
Juho never did see your stand pipe conversion. Many thanks for taking us along.
Very cool journey
It was great. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
U2 are living the dream. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching!
Brilliant episode once again
Thank you Juho. I am planning the same (in part) trip in early 2024. San Francisco to Seattle. I’ll be in a 33’ sailboat, singlehanded, with little fuel storage so will rely heavily upon wind. I’ve found it difficult to find any quality info on the passage North and very much appreciate you publishing this! Any additional info you’d be willing to share regarding tactics, suggestions, ideas, etc would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again for the work to put these together! I have just subscribed and will try to help support as funds allow.
Be safe and best wishes!
It was nice to see you in Astoria. I keep my boat in the same moorage where you were. You were quite forty to have a window of good weather.
I enjoy your episodes. All the best
Smart man for staying in port. I lived in that area for 20 years and it can be very nasty at times crossing the bar. He is right about it being the most dangerous bar crossing in the world.
One of my favorite sailing channels ! I’ve been watching since you guys left Norway for Iceland. Congratulations on the 100,000 subs 🎉
Oregon coast is my home turf, Gold Beach, so I really enjoy seeing you in our neck of the woods.
Congratulations on a 100 K .Thanks for sharing
