Living The BEST Life, On a Crazy Boat in the Cold

[@AlluringArctic]

We sail to Westfjords for some SKIING and reveal a bit about our next (own) boat! I spent a TON of time putting this one together. For example the footage was gathered from 7 different cameras 😨. Hope you enjoyed! Although we were hoping to go to Greenland on Arktika, we're super duper excited for the next chapter in our adventures... We finally found a suitable boat, and it's going to be great to have our own one again!

[@francojoaquim569]

GREAT TO EAR FROM YOU AGAIN.... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS.... ALL THE BEST。。。 FAIR WINDS .... AND MY KIND REGARDS...

[@donnakawana]

Excited for what's coming... An loved this episode.. great fun , jumping from the boat had me cracking up laughing... I've done this... Soooo shockingly cold.. great cure for a hangover tho✌🏼💗😊❣️

[@Zvolis]

the time you put in to editing and filming is obvious in the footage, good yob, so nice to watch.

[@karaDee2363]

That's great news and I'm sure you're so excited about having your own boat again! I can't wait to see it and watch it get refurbished

[@douglascampbell9809]

I wonder if the engines couldn't be fitted with engine block heaters. They are mostly used for car engines but have also been used in aircraft engines. Mainly oil heaters and coolant warmers. They use a good amount of electricity but the benefits may be worth it. I don't see a reason that they aren't used on boats.

[@invention-city]

The skiing video was absolutely beautiful. Huge props to Sophie for being a true partner in this adventure!

[@AlluringArctic]

thank you! yes, she rocks!

[@Hubertus-ko6yl]

So glad there are no ski transport systems. No mass tourism stations. Impressive vid. Great.

[@williamluff1550]

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen. You guys absolutely kill it.

[@Rittlesleo]

It has a stark beauty, but I’m done with cold. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to enjoy it vicariously.

[@Dustmadeout]

The content of this channel is so good! Never though arctic sailing would be even more interesting than tropics.

[@nathen4021]

Oh yea, so much more interesting than the tropics. Especially during the summer when escaping the heat is nice!

[@ericcsuf]

One of your best. The effort shows. Your camera work with the drone is always exceptional. Honestly, I've never seen anyone use a drone so competently. Beautiful work. Best wishes for future plans with the new boat.

[@nicholasfarrow2478]

Hi Juho, this episode is absolutely epic - it is just so good and I am so excited for you. Your sailing channel is THE best one out there! Fabulous dry humour and very nice shots of the ice on the railings of the boat and also directly in front of the bow... I will be a bit envious of your midnight ski tours later this Spring when everyone else is tucked up in bed!

[@ghhammer3498]

Thanks Juho and Sohvi and your friends for a exciting video. Really enjoying the Arctic landscape, hope you film some wildlife in the future. Great Job.

[@stephenhenion8304]

I have a whole lot of respect for what you "Cats" are doing with your lives! Never saw such a lifestyle!! Wow!!!

[@rentarile1252]

🦐Thanks!

[@kitkatcats3360]

Love their spirit and love of nature. So free

[@TheNadOby]

That's the spirit! - Where are we heading too? - Have no idea, out to the sea I guess.

[@theosphilusthistler712]

Superb footage. Good luck with the new venture. Pretty impressed that Sohvi is willing to push past the sea sickness to pursue the life aquatic.

[@AlluringArctic]

thank you! And yes, she's a trooper!

[@BillB23]

Having watched Uma do Norway, Svalbard, and Iceland, and having enjoyed all 4 episodes of 80 North, I really enjoy your view of things in the north. As a boy I camped in -20 F and had no problems. Now that I have lived three score and ten years I like to watch the cold from afar. Fond greetings from the piedmont of Georgia, USA.

[@Cptnbond]

Excellent episode, but I know what Artika is missing. A sauna. Cheers.

[@Kevin-xs6oj]

What a Terrific episode!!! Thank you for sharing it with us! Congratulations on your new boat!

[@miraculouslyhealedGCS3]

Oh my gosh that is absolutely the best life!!! So grateful someone share your channel with me. Thank you for living this life and sharing it here for us all to see!

[@brookemartin6101]

I got a cold chill up and down my spine just seeing all of the spray that had frozen on the boat. Continued safety to you and your companions on your adventures. ⛵🌨🌊🗻

[@jimmarshall5453]

Always keep an eye on ice buildup, as it can make the boat very top heavy and can capsize it easily.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Fantastic landscape and skiing in the sun...down that Corrie. Your mates are bonkers for jumping in that water 😅💦

[@Tomm9y]

Thermal shock is very dangerous too. I've seen people get into difficulties in much milder water.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

@@Tomm9y They are Finns they do this after Saunas and hangovers 🤔🤣😉😜 safe to say.... you do have to be mad and younger to do that sort of bat poop crazy thing 😂

[@jonnenne]

@@Tomm9y it is a common pastime in Finland to swim in frozen waters. Nothing dangerous about swimming like that if you aren't complete newb

[@kvalvagnes]

I really hope the new boat will be a better sailor and look better. Exiting!

[@Tomm9y]

Good to hear that together you have found your own boat.

[@karlfair]

There is a lot going on in this episode. The guys at 4:00 drinking beer with mittens on, been there. Rain-X is good for keeping windows clear of spray and ice. Congratulations on finding a new boat.

[@AlluringArctic]

yep, cold beer, cold weather and mittens, it's a good combo!

[@donnakawana]

Enjoyed this episode very much!! I watch because the 2 of you and your fun friends have a list for life that's ..... Inspiring!! It's not easy this life.. getting to escape what surrounds me... It's a gift..One given by the videos you share.. I'm very grateful for your channel an inspired!! Thanks for sharing your lives with us and Fare winds an following sea's ✌🏼💗😊❣️

[@DanTheMan-c5q]

Looking forward to seeing your new project. All the best.

[@mauricepianiste]

Thanks!

[@beaudwayful]

Great video, great shots of skiing and the landscape, can't wait to watch your new boat project!

[@blueskyredkite]

The footage of the mountains, and skiing (and snowboarding) is stunning, absolutely beautiful. Excellent work.

[@rainfinger]

Love the skiing. I grew up in Colorado snow skiing, presently sailing in the Bahamas.

[@GrizzBeaver]

Always a pleasure to see your adventures of fun and Earth health through your lenses! 🇺🇸 God bless your work!

[@bryrensexton4618]

👍!!!(looking forward to seeing the new boat!)

[@ronagoodwell2709]

Insanely beautiful snow fields, and fjords with stark colors tempered by the freezing cold....

[@CurseMonstr]

The water just looks so beautiful and refreshing there

[@Zvolis]

Great fotage as usual, soo scenic that it is yust a pleasure to watch. Thanks

[@fredwilliams8305]

Very nice to hear and see all of you. Oh to be young and crazy again. Skiing conditions look much better than your previous adventure. Exciting to learn of your boat purchase and plans to rehab it. I see some interesting videos in the future. Stay well and safe.

[@RP-mo2md]

Sophie is the true star of this show!

[@travelingtimothy]

The skiing was phenomenal! What an adventure!

[@NJBamforth67]

Glad you back was wondering where you were. Xx 😀

[@AlluringArctic]

Yeah, just too busy with all the boat work, arranging stuff for our "new" boat and so on. And this one probably took 50 hours of editing 😬

[@wadeshore]

Man you are tough people, thank you for bringing me on these wonderful journeys

[@beechrad1965]

Wow! So very cool…sailing…skiing…beautiful land and sea. Thank you.

[@TheBigWWI]

Remember when it comes to boat refits: it will be twice your budget and triple the time you expect! Good luck guys!

[@davidalexander-watts6630]

I don't ski, but I loved the footage of the skiing, what a wonderland.

[@matthewbaynham6286]

Good to see you having an adventure.

[@jwrn4u]

Absolutely gets the “money shot” every time!!!wow

[@GaIiIeoMateo]

*Cursing in Finnish* gets me every time

[@matthewdavidson8070]

Wow…just wow beautiful. Great video. What a place. I love that your production is arctic living above the circle at sea and on skis.

[@hughburgess4168]

Such a different kind of boating. Different challenges. Beautiful scenery, especially the skiing! Thank you!

[@richardashburner2097]

Thanks for your captivating photography, editing and story telling. Your landscape and seascape is alien to me.“Alluring” indeed! Thanks for sharing your part of the world and your adventures there.

[@stefeniedavidmusic]

I can't believe how adventurous you guys are. Even when I was your age I would never have attempted some of the things you do. All the best. Cheers from Canada

[@oliverbuerkle2299]

Thanks for taking us along this great trip. Good luck with finalizing the purchase of you next project.

[@buildingstore8714]

Today my country was so hot ,but when i see your video make me feeling refreshed .

[@kayleeson509]

Uneventful is good! The footage is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@dawnjohnson8739]

This boat had so many problems. Glad you got Numi.

[@justarandomguy3071]

Can't wait to see the new boat. I love a good boat project!

[@peterleyland4793]

Great video , its a relief to see you all wearing the correct safety gear when using the dinghy. No other sailing channel seems to bother.

[@davidkennaugh7811]

Thank you Juho for sending us into our dreams tonight thinking of heavenly things

[@BigRedNZ1]

Fantastic episode. Really interesting how the landscape is so inhospitable to anchoring, I guess the sides are as steep as the mountains above, and you’re forced to anchor out where it’s more level. Good luck with the project boat

[@AlluringArctic]

in that particular fjord it's around 10 meters across almost the whole fjord. but there is very little cover from wind because the wind blows down the mountains, so instead of trying to tuck next to the land I personally prefer to anchor "in the middle". That way you can put out maximum scope and have half a mile of sea room to drag an anchor, should it happen ;)

[@davidc6510]

Great video Juho! That drone footage of the skiing and surrounding area was superb as usual. It has been a good journey with Arkita. I look forward to seeing you get the new boat set up and ready for more Arctic fun. Thanks for sharing!

[@tymanot]

Wow, phantastic pictures. Thanks for the Video.

[@Younified]

Wow, I am so jealous. The snowboarding looks amazing.

[@craigmartin8326]

It's good to see you back at sailing and I look forward to seeing your new Yacht.

[@Vini.OliveTree]

Great video and exiting news. Thanks and good luck with the new boat

[@ladyrita3667]

This video was amaizing! In an another level totally. Very happy about your new project

[@wildrose4411]

So excited for the new boat! Congratulations! You work hard so you deserve it! Great video!

[@prof.heinous191]

Great film - I don't think anyone can beat you on skiing aerials - and glad you managed to let your hair down after all the technical difficulties! Glad you've found a new boat, always thought Arctica was too expensive and complex for you guys.

[@gregorychaney7604]

Full respect for your winter boating and skiing ⛷️ adventures!!! Cheers from Alaska

[@MarcelaR-dh1ok]

I can see that you are quite happy to have your buddies around. You guys are kind of crazy...good crazy...now I better understand why I've been living out of my suitcase pretty much since 1972.

[@ThorsteinnAdalsteins]

Fantastic footage from the amazing Westfjords (and the chaos that is Ísafjörður). Great camera angles somehow catch the remoteness and the stark beauty of the place. Expect a new subscriber on Patreon...

[@shaunroberts9361]

This was such a epic vlog. I am saying hello from Lake Tahoe CALIFORNIA. THE editing was our of this world. Thank you and cannot wait to see the new boat...

[@dozyaustin]

Hell yeah! - thanks for proper amazingness from the mountains!

[@onlyinthehood2243]

Bruh🤯🤯 What a beautiful place. A frozen desert!!! Respect for EVERYONES ability to get down the mountain ✊🏽 BIG UPs from DALLAS, Texas 🤙🏽

[@elikinder1506]

This isn’t very good conditions. You guys are to happy and having to much fun. It isn’t right! It’s beautiful there. Music is a good choice. Water is so blue! It’s a great video.

[@Jurflip2]

Winterising the engines while anchoring seems to be an awful lot of trouble. You could fit a small hot air heater in the engine room. A small, self-contained unit like Wallas 1300 would probebly be the simplest to fit and should solve the problem of freezing.

[@kunalgoswami1314]

Now this is what youtube is made for, sitting far North in india and enjoying Arctic

[@jettsoma]

Thanks you for another well thought out and well put together video. 🥰👍🏽👍🏼

[@rexstiger6090]

Very enjoyable episode. Congratulations on taking a big next step!

[@williambunting803]

I built my first boat in an old timber yard in Sydney Aust. A neighbor was a Fin with a mechanics business. Every Friday afternoon Matti’s mates would come around and they would all plow into the Finlandia, with rollmops and dill. Several times at night I fell over something on the roadway in the dark to discover it was Matti passed out, drunk and sleeping. Matti was very practical. When asked what oil to use with a particular situation, the answer was always “Oils is Oils”!

[@sohvikangasluoma9519]

ahahah Matti sounds like a traditional Finnish guy, thanks for sharing this!

[@judsonquiaoit8256]

You two, plus friends are gorgeous... a term I normally reserve for dogs.... tells a great bit... love...

You're great or crazy adventures, I did the sow crab season in Alaska, was hard work and fun, also I love to sail, we can feel the freedom, come from this crew love and peace

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Stunning scenery and although I’m no skier it looked amazing. I did gasp seeing those two jump in, I could feel how cold it was lol. Very exciting news on the new boat, Arktika has been great but hopefully you have a more capable sailing boat and you will be able to make it how you want it. Cheers Andy UK

[@tome584]

I’m new to watch Your channel I seen when you first got your new boat how you went from the cold to the heat . Scenery is breathtaking I’m from Southern California X surf bomb 63 years old I can imagine what it was like dropping down that hill skiing with no tracks on it . I’m looking forward to seeing what Finland is like in the summertime when you sailing out in the summer around Finland. P. O. E.

an arctic interlude well worth our attention!

[@lloydbrown9327]

Really beautiful area..not many people around here, on the east coast of Canada, sail in the winter. A lot of wind! I wouldn't be in water, this time of the year! Burrrr! Good luck on your new boat! Great video!

[@jayjohnson3343]

Beautiful! And I love to hear Finnish, even though I cannot speak it. It's the language of my ancestors...

[@greghall14]

Great video as always. Mate i wish you and Sophie all the best in your future endeavours with your next boat. I also hope we get to see videos of you transforming it’s hull to its finished beauty. All the best to you both from Australia.

"Good luck with the cutting board" 😆👍 This was one of the best videos. Little humor suits perfectly for these amazing and unique travel videos. Tuhannet kiitokset hienoista videoista! Greetings from Finland.

[@Chuckles..]

I live in the south west U.S. and can't tell you how interesting and beautiful this vid is!.

[@lewis7315]

While you MAY be able to get away with winter or spring Artic sailing in the Pacific,, its not wise to do that in regions where there are iceburgs like Newfoundland, Labrodar NE Canada. My practicle Coast Guard experience is there are thousands of bergy bits, house sized ice burg pieces invisible at night in the Western high Atlantic, especially in the Spring. You run into one and your boat sinks.

[@denismcgee1691]

OMG , the long wait was so worth it and the footage was spectacular and your efforts don't go unnoticed. Congrats on your new boat project. It will be an interesting project to watch evolve. Continued success!

[@randylewis7220]

Wanted to compliment you on all of your (you all's) mechanical and technical hands on skills God given and acquired. That one second flash of the Captain Morgan rum bottle and your dreads Mom ment more to me than can be expressed here. I have Jamaican and Norwegian Grandparents and am in the process of rehabbing a small cabin cruiser for Lake Michigan that I grew up on and in. Waiting for the water to reach 50° F to go wet suit swimming. Tell your peeps Thanks for the saltfish, GODSPEED !

PS the Captain makes a white version now less hang oveer...

I'm not sure what's so crazy about that boat. It looks like a really good boat to me! Nice video too.
