After not uploading for a month did you really think a tour video was the right thing to upload. Honestly the only worse thing you could have uploaded after not uploading for a month would be a gear video. I feel like it's common sense to release a adventure or journey you went on after being absent for so long.

[@lc285]

The live tracking is a cool feature.

[@jwrn4u]

Love you guys, stay safe out there, many things you take for granted a novice would consider dangerous. You’re living a great lifestyle and a great adventure ,

[@SylviaTrujillo-g1g]

Brilliant! Thank you so much for the detail info of the workings of the boat. I love the water collector and the manual driver pole in the back! Excellent modifications!👍🏽

[@johnnylightning1491]

I never thought I would like an aluminum boat, but you've convinced me. No through hulls, no screw holes so the possibility of leaks is minimized. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@sanfranciscobay]

The 2 of you are real Explorers, doing what most people would never do.

[@johnwest7993]

Or 'could' ever do.

[@BackwardsKnees]

or would want to

[@jpage505]

Just started binge watching your videos!! Love them!!

[@villevaresmaa]

Happy to see all those sexy red PVC gadgets are working as planed ♥ I saw that water collecting bimini sagging a bit more while making it, but it looks like it doesn't have to. All the best! 👍

[@AlistairLipp]

Thanks

[@barrypearce9254]

Thanks!

[@brendahennessey1415]

Fantastic adventure. Thanks for the boat tour. She is really special❤👍

[@John-Nada]

You picked a great boat. It has so many cool features and I've been waiting for a detailed tour. So many of the biggest sailing channels have alienated their viewers with million dollar brand new catamarans but you've got one of the neatest boats of them all at a moderate cost. I'm especially curious to know what the headroom is inside down below. I like your style. 🧜

[@Cruising-MS-Matakana]

Good morning from New Zealand Great to see some innovative ideas on board to make live easier without being to complex or posh. Love it Cheers Bro

[@robertpatterson641]

I wait for your videos because they are the best on u tube

[@markthomasson5077]

Back…many years ago, when we used to sail over to France, we were always impressed by their aluminium boats. Just bare metal, so simple, so workmanlike. And it gives a somewhat non slip surface.

[@Greggers123]

Thank you for sharing your life’s adventures.

[@fosterkennel649]

Great seeing you again wonderful catchment system blessings to you and yours from Southern Oregon

[@johnwest7993]

Thank you for the live tracking. I've been wondering where you were and how you are doing. For its size, you have an amazing arctic expedition vessel. You have put an enormous amount of knowledgeable work into making it so. You once mentioned that after all of the work you put into it in California that it had an estimated worth of around a quarter million dollars. But with everything you have done since then to make it still better for arctic expeditions, once in the middle of the Northwest Passage it is priceless. If I were a US Coast Guardsman who was concerned about a couple attempting the Northwest Passage in a small sailboat, just one good glance around Lumi would make me smile.

[@ITAMED1A]

Thanks for the video, very interesting. I like the water gathering system 🙂

[@Horst-j9y]

Wow - impressive. My you both be well and happy . , With Loving Kindness, Horst-peter

[@suellencarr9658]

Rain catcher is perfect.⛷❄💧

[@ajedreznoventa]

Lovely video, as always! Wish you a great and safe passage!

[@eerikkinuutinen5808]

Moikka. Hienoa nähdä miten pitkällä olette jo. Toivottavasti ei tule kauheasti ongelmia vastaan. Hi, It's nice to see how far You are allready. I hope You don't have any problems on Your way.

[@bruceperry6315]

What a great adventure! I am looking forward to the next installment.😊

[@permagneful]

I wish you a safe passage

[@MadDuc]

Another awesome video with a lot of good tips! Thanks! Please keep posting these great videos!

[@leerod]

😮wow amazing adventure

[@TomGillis-wx1wr]

Your video’s are well put together. I really enjoyed this one. Thank you

[@fredwilliams6843]

I will be following your journey with interest. Stay safe and be well.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@MarkkuRantalankila]

Hi! Thankyou for the tracking link! This will be my daily morning routine to follow you on your passage. Olette todella oikeita merenkulkijoita joilla on asenne kohdallaan.

[@erents1]

Epic adventure!

[@johnhiggins1629]

Best of luck on your journey ❤

[@dianarutecki9810]

Hope you are both very happy and enjoying your current challenge. Praying for you both to be safe, healthy, and mindful.

[@johnwest7993]

Here you see snow, and beneath this snow you will see more snow. :)

[@DiabloSpearguns]

Love the idea of a bare aluminum deck. I’m going to seriously consider this on my own boat.

[@bruceyoung1343]

I was checking in to see your progress on North East passage trip. I see your a lot closer to Greenland 🇬🇱. Maybe another 2 days. I hope the seas are smooth and wind at your back

[@bradcole4693]

Pretty nice, smart details.

[@DougVarble]

Great innovation 🎉

[@brianfields4479]

Wonderful explanation, especially for us non sailors. My mate is sailing in the pacific, and as we are both ham radio op,s , we can keep in touch.. Good luck to you both. Brian in nz.

[@squealerpig]

I LOVE this sailboat

[@frogsintheforest]

Good luck with your current adventure. It's wonderful being able to follow you in real time. Fantastic

[@inkunziknox7714]

I'm just hanging out, between uni semesters, waiting for your tales of the northwest passage. As I post this, you're sitting off abandoned Fort Ross, and I'm watching from the other side of the world. Make it home safe explorers. Godspeed.

[@patrickpope4655]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and warm friends.

[@bradsquirrel7923]

A great little explorer cold water sailing vessel.

[@jabjab1010]

Good video. Thanks.

[@davidc6510]

A great tour and update Juho - Thanks for sharing!

[@stevenlevstik1020]

Stay safe.

[@RiDankulous]

I googled toe rail. It’s very interesting to learn, terminology in sailing. If I’m along any close line, I will consider sailing either by boat rental or joining another person who owns a boat. I’ve heard a good way to do sailing is to exchange some of your time and labor to be done on a boat, for a chance to get out sailing on that boat. Apparently, the work on a boat is extensive

[@RulgertGhostalker]

Iqaluit would be a nice stop also.

[@terorantanen8894]

Hyvää matkaa, Muista varmuuskopioida kovalevyt! Ei käy niin kun sillon Lumin fiksaus videoille.

[@karlfair]

Nice episode. Safe Travels.

[@dancarter482]

Bare alloy for the _WIN!_

[@suellencarr9658]

Love u Guys. Keep living the dream.😍

[@davidnichols147]

Truly magnificent, love your Instagram page. Safe passage to you both!

[@toonboxhoorn9403]

Super 😊😊

[@AbidAhmed786]

Great 👍❤

[@haydenmeadors38]

Good to see you again! Love your boat, I’m not a sailor but I really want to give it a try soon. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@petalss5325]

Good luck with your passage!! Wishing you guys the very best wind, current and weather!

[@go_rout]

Wishing you safe sailing! I've been watching videos to prepare for a sailing yacht in a few years. One scene that impressed me was purifying clean snow into water in Alaska, as it's something I'd love to try during my future yacht trips.

[@astronorthwet636]

You can get Alodine sticks to stop corrosion under repainted spots.

[@unpublishable4091]

You are in Greenland. You can touch and then do the NWP back the other way, if you hurry. You have time for a beer and a bath, get more food, and a knap. It has been fun watching your slow moving dot move across the north west passage.

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Thank you

[@djremotion2]

Hienoja ideoita ja niiden toteutuksia!👍

[@Scott.Alston]

Following your passage closely, and wishing you all safety + success!

[@nanlog4303]

They've done it. Tracker says they are in Greenland

[@RiDankulous]

That’s interesting. That’s very good to hear because it’s a dangerous journey.

[@kkys7709]

Might be a good idea to put a handle on the tiller for some Isolation.

[@Gottenhimfella]

@@kkys7709 it's only for emergency use, say if a steering cable breaks, so I imagine their heavy rubber deck gloves should provide enough insulation

[@dougsrepair1060]

Some great kit.

[@Datsail]

Always great videos, no matter what the format. Save passage to you all.

[@vernaclevinger5716]

Your additions seem like wise and useful additions. Be brave tempered with the wisdom of safety.

[@kacakusturmaca]

👍

[@RiDankulous]

I googled granny bar. Very interesting terminology.

[@martineyer5336]

It’s not pretty I’ll give you that, but it’s perfect yacht for what you want to do. Now I can see why you were so keen to get it. 👍

[@Vildra-t8i]

Thanks for the video.

[@ssadams]

As you go east you will enter Canadian waters. Welcome to Canada! I hope you can place flags of Finland and Canada on the islands.

[@michelefrost4338]

Yall are taking the Northwest passage track now. I’m tracking you on a couple of FB offshore sites. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@DavidM2002]

4:12 I think I'd prefer a clevis pin with a quick insert / quick removal hair pin to keep it from slipping out. No nuts to rattle loose. You're making me wish that I had a boat again...

[@sailor5026]

Safe trip

[@darrenleask6042]

Epic as 7sual

[@cmr5996]

This water filter is very interesting, I'm no sailor but I had no idea you can filter rainwater with such a small device

[@allanfifield8256]

That far north how effective are solar panels?

[@Gottenhimfella]

In summer, they will have low angle sun, but very very long days

[@merjamannonen430]

Resoluution on tulossa sinnepäin... Varatkaa saunavuoro 😂 Hulppee laiva 😳👍 !

[@merjamannonen430]

No joo... löysitte paremman saunan 👍 mutta missä oli kiuaskivet 🤔 toimii näköjään ilmankin 😅😶‍🌫️👍

[@РусланРешетник-ж4р]

Гарна ідея!!!

[@Brad.whatthe]

I like the rear lifting dagger board, it gives the rudder some protection like a skeg 👍

[@alfredneuman6488]

Is the PVC fabric that is used for your water collector free of all the harmful chemicals that can leach into the water?

[@sanfranciscobay]

Aug 5, 2024. Appears that you are about 30-40% of the way Northbound, then eastbound through the Northwest Passage.

[@saxophool]

More Sohvi, please. 😊

[@markmessner4554]

Glad to hear you say “cotter pins” and not split-pins when talking about the turn buckles.

[@jurajsutovec9780]

Hi Juho. I love your videos, I feel like I was there with you. Please what model is your boat? Thank you and take care.

[@veganchildsoldier9243]

I want to know where you got those bags!

[@lorenzoalberini4223]

Thank you for this technical tour, it's super interesting! We will consider a similar system to catch rainwater on our boat. Have you made yours by yourself or have you bought it? If you bought it, can you link the product website? Thanks!

[@fraserconnell21]

A "sensitive" question..... How do you and Sophie have a contingency for bears etc ?.. Only asking as we're planning a similar voyage and some bears are predators more than others. Fantastic great channel you have too. Best wishes and fair winds for you both 😊

[@user-xv3zp8gl7j]

Will you ever go to the cariibean in the boat

[@unpublishable4091]

Emergency Tiller - Did you ever do an emergency tiller drill? These are always interesting. Try on a calm warm day, and then on a cold rough day. Try not to drop the tiller overboard. The tiller should be tethered to the boat during emergency installation. Could your tiller be tethered while stored, and untethered after installation. Do you have an extra nut and bolt? Extra hardware might be able to be put in the end of the handle. Aligning the tiller to accept the bolt is very difficult in rough seas. Without a clip or latch or something it is a 2-3 hand job to hold the tiller aligned to thread the bolt and then put the nut on. I think emergency tillers should just snap on, and then be locked in with a bolt and a auto spring button, and then a bolt. A great emergency tiller should be able to be installed by a one armed injured woman, or child, and not fall into the water. No one makes on of these or has ever complained about not having one. Is the tiller long enough for a woman to use? You could be washed over trying to install the emergency tiller. The problem with poor emergency tiller setups is few people have reported them. Boats are just found with broken steering.

[@NomadSurvivor]

Juho its a Royal Huisman Sloop 80ft long 20ft beam 13' draft being auctioned. Check it out ,, I was thinking you might know someone with 150k ish kicking around and some time to finish the interior Teac and cabintop insulation. I guess the current owner is dumping it at this auction starting Sept 2nd

[@NomadSurvivor]

its name was the Black Shark of St Peter and the auction is in Zandaam Netherlands. 🇳🇱 Its an AWESOME vessel by the looks of it.

[@peters8080]

I dont no about that particular radar, but radar waves are not generally considered healthy to be exposed to directly. Is that why they are usually mounted higher on the mast?

[@RadioMan666]

👍👍

[@RulgertGhostalker]

figure for passage through Nunavut by the middle of next month.....the passage should go well, by the sea ice forecast.

[@unpublishable4091]

I see you stopped at Pond Inlet. You do not have any youtube. I hope everything is good. Where did you shoot the moose? If in Canada did you get a moose tag? What is the Pond Inlet stop for, a beer and a bath? Is next stop Clyde River, or that place no one can spell, or Greenland?

[@markalan1501]

There's gold all over up yhere just laying around. Metal detectors a must.

[@AllanDrJones]

What problems specifically are you having with your Starlink Dishy? I recently bought a Gen 2, and mine sometimes takes extra long to calculate orientation... Not sure if that is the Dishy or software tho...

[@martinmoss317]

Any danger from freezing with the water filter on your bimini water collector? Some filters with micropores are damaged when frozen.
