Alright, it's been brought to my attention by many of you that the savoury sausage delicacy presented in this video is actually available elsewhere in the world as well, and is called a "pig in a blanket" or a "toad in a hole", or some other loving name, depending on where in the world you are! I didn't know that they'd be available here in North America as well so now I must get my hands on some immediately! 😉 Personally I still like the name "sausage surprise" the best though. Nakkipiilo forever! Anyway, thanks for watching, and a commercial message follows... 🤓If you want to support the creation of these videos you can do so on Patreon. Wow, who would have thought?! The address is: www.patreon.com/alluringarctic . Patrons get access to a boat tracker, ad-free videos (whenever our Internet connection is good enough for me to upload twice), private WhatsApp chat group etc. And most of all, your penny goes a long way in helping me spend the long hours editing these 💻🎥. Hope you enjoyed and have a great week!

[@maciejs3329]

C'Mon... it's just another version of the ordinary hotdog :P instead longer roll you use croissant... anyway no matter how you call it always tastes good if you are in a need :)

[@ozmazone]

In Yorkshire, pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in rashers of bacon.

[@trom100]

Cannot believe I am commenting on this point but apparently I am - Toad in the Hole is sausages baked in a Yorkshire Pudding batter - delicious!

[@margaretwilliams3504]

@@trom100 definitely sausage cooked in batter.

[@karlfair]

I should have read your pinned comment, before posting mine.

[@sailor5026]

Congratulations, Sohvi. In addition to all the hard work on dissertation, both you and Yuho worked incredibly hard in that hot summer weather to get Lumi ready for sea. She looks beautiful under sail.

[@sohvikangasluoma9519]

thank you!🥰

[@grakkerful]

@@sohvikangasluoma9519 Absolutely incredible. Congrats!

[@sunline24]

This is my favorite sailing channel. Your drone footage is second to none.

[@AlluringArctic]

thank you so much!

[@johanselander7708]

Yes, the drone footage is extremely good! Master skill level!

[@thomscott1247]

Yes indeed,........ More great footage of that magnificent Yacht. Also. The Captains Snow Queen is blonde , beautiful and,..........Brainy ! This Skipper is truly blessed .

[@MarcDonahu]

Sohvi has such a great attitude

[@craiggrocott7559]

The only thing wrong with this video is you can only leave one like, bloody awesome!

[@kindsailing]

Congratulations, Sohvi, well done! Thank you both for taking us to the beautiful, wild, northwest in a way few, if any, of us will ever experience.

[@johnwest7993]

Congratulations Sohvi!

[@HDXBear]

Well done Sohvi all the best to you both

[@johnlawrence7268]

Many congratulations to Doctor Sohvi! That must have taken a lot of intense work in a difficult studying environment. As ever your cinematography is outstanding! Sail safe!

[@jonnenne]

I just want to thank you again for including the maps now more consistently! It helps with getting an overview

[@fredwilliams6843]

Thank you, thank you, for allowing me to come along. Loved every second of this video. Stay safe and be well.

[@patwhite640]

That's a good old "Pig in a Blanket" glad to see the sails up!!

[@chankirtan]

Thrilling footage, and congratulations to Sohvi on submitting her doctoral dissertation.

[@sohvikangasluoma9519]

thank you!!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Congrats on the submittal of your doctoral dissertation. Admiral achievement 👏. We call the sausage submerged in a roll, pig-in-a-blanket. I loved the aerial footage. Breathtakingly beautiful place to celebrate 📜🍾 🎉. Thanks for sharing.

[@AlluringArctic]

I didn't know it's available here! I must get hold of this delicacy!

[@garyjarvis2730]

Cinematic excellence. Congratulations on Sohvi's doctorate.

[@werner134897]

I always enjoy your episodes. I think it is also your calm, no nonsense and humorous style.

[@lory2622]

This fine lady has submitted her thesis to attain her doctorate and that is the level of excitement… the Fins are a lesson is subdued emotions.

[@AlluringArctic]

Hahah.. compared to many other nationalities yes I guess you would be correct!

[@radleysmith7528]

Should Sir Ben Ainsley ever come aboard at least he could expect to receive a Pig in Blanket participation trophy

[@prunesquallor3444]

It’s always a pleasure to see another instalment from Alluring Arctic. Sailing the relatively calm Inside Passage of British Columbia can be a handful in the fall and winter with small craft warnings appearing almost daily. I have never experienced the wind phenomenon described, but it can be tricky at times dodging stray logs, and deadheads. All power to Alluring Arctic on their odyssey to follow in the footsteps of John Cabot, Henry Hudson, Sir Francis Drake, Captain James Cook, Sir John Franklin, and of coarse the first person to successfully sail the fabled Northwest Passage , the Norwegian Roald Amundsen. A literal who’s who of sailing explorers.

[@dancarter482]

Captain Vancouver and crew deserve an honorary mention .. .. . .

[@RiDankulous]

Learning about and seeing williwaws was enjoyable, thanks. It's nice to know at this point in time Sohvi was progressing and I hope she reached her academic goals.

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

Love seeing the williwaw. Playing hiding the sausage is always a treat. Congratulations Doctor 👍🏻

[@ericbergdahl6971]

Congratulations on your submission towards the PHD. Good luck.

[@paulrasmussen1352]

Congratulations Doctor! Don’t take the comments on your work too seriously. It’s just academics trying to justify their existence. You are doing something unique and meaningful. Please don’t forget that.

[@bobcat6653]

Congratulations on the PhD milestone! It's hard for me to imagine the amount of work this must have taken!

[@WhyWorry1]

Congratulations Sohvi!! Or should I say Dr Shovi! You are almost done!

[@AlluringArctic]

(Almost Dr) Sohvi says thank you! :)

[@decapolis01]

Congrats Sohvi! Sausage in bread here in Alabama is called "pig in the blanket" In Louisiana they make boudin kolaches. Its cool to find where things come from. We have everything here in America but know very little about its origins.

[@pachekov8872]

congratulations to Sohvi for the submission!!! Fingers crossed all goes well And again thank you for sharing your brilliant content. F

[@jeffwillis2592]

Claps for Sovhi. Yay!

[@jamessandman3708]

Wooo Hooo!! Congratulations Sohvi!!! I know that was a lot of work for you! Good job!!!! Thanks for taking us along!!.......⛵⛵⛵

[@hansramlv9779]

Congratulations to Sohvi! Nice to have the dissertation finished, now only remains the fun part of the defence which usually is very nice.

[@MarcDonahu]

My brother was a halibut fisherman up there, I have great respect for anyone sailing those waters.

[@johnmayer3433]

Congratulations, Sohvi, well done! All the best for the tiny rest of the process to eventually become a doctor.

[@ridingmanone]

In the Southern US, we call the sausage surprise, a "pig in a blanket". Congratulations Sohvi! Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures!

[@Sailing_Antrice]

Fantastic achievement to get that far in four months in increasingly harsh conditions and congratulations Sohvi on getting to pre-submission. Good luck and fair winds.

[@robertvalentine9366]

I think a PhD deserves an indoor hot shower!!! Congratulations Sohvi, you're almost there!

[@sohvikangasluoma9519]

luckily Prince Rupert had that in their marina! (for full five minutes 😎)

[@davidnichols147]

Prince Rupert is beautiful, as a Merchant Marine officer our ship ran between Japan carrying containers. Congratulations to Sophia on her degree, you certainly picked the best crew member for Alaska.

[@jimdickinson9731]

Congratulations Sohvi! A phd is no small undertaking. More power to you.

[@paulbettenga6202]

Congratulations Sohvi on the next step in journey to your doctorate.

[@memyselfandi9365]

My wife loves sausage surprise a lot..😊. Unbelievable footage, your boat is your Ark in those waters, every warm coffee and snuggle sleep must be magical..

[@tonysmith6236]

I grew up calling a sausage or hotdog in a croissant a pig n a blanket. You channel is great

[@jameswilliams663]

O Captain! My Captain!

[@oboewankenobo8675]

Enjoy your down to earth narration. Your journey is like a Disneyland ride only it’s the real deal. I also enjoy your drone footage. Have you ever lost one due to the unpredictable weather? Smooth sailing to both of you.

[@ianrusso8790]

Congratulations Sofi!

[@dagfinnopsvik4180]

Congratulations Sohvi, fantastic news!

[@sohvikangasluoma9519]

Thank you!!

[@headonz]

Fantastic drone shots !! Your camera work is spectacular and unique among the hundreds of boat/sailing youtube channels now available. Please keep the drone video coming , there is many desk top screen shots that are saved onto my computer 😀😀😛. Congratulations to Dr Sohvi 😄

[@RickoH_NZ]

Thinking of you Sohvi! Hope the comments are kind and change requirements are reasonable. Keep smiling☺️. You can do it!

[@klasgollunberg388]

Congrats to Sohvi for good work. I have missed in what field she will become a doctor. Thanks for a very very very good video as always. Looking forward for the next one.

[@dalechristensen6246]

Congrats Sohvi quite the milestone. And yes, they are hotdogs, not sausages, and it’s pigs in a blanket

[@kathleencorrigan8274]

Favorite sailing channel. Keep up the beautiful work. And I'm a fan of no bikinis just real life sailing.

[@LaurieVogt]

I am enjoying this different approach to sailing ... sailing in the wind, cold and snow. Thank you

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Congratulations on reaching Prince Rupert. Congratulations on the dissertation submission. Thank you for taking the time to post videos on your progress. My grandkids and I really enjoy your videos.

[@Mxxxxxxxx610]

It’s good to have a doctor on boat! Congratulations!

[@davidguistwite2543]

In America we call them “pigs-in-a-blanket”. Love them.

Man I am so excited to chill with your videos after I'm done with the day

thank you!🥰

[@stefanshelenko4487]

Wow. Congratulations on your Doctoral submission Sohvi. I was in Price Rupert in 1981 a smaller port then. I hope you both enjoy your voyage north. Kick ass content as always.🎉👍🤙

[@davidg7477]

Congrats on the doctorate, huge achievement!!🎉🎉

[@peterrayden8357]

I just watched back to back all your vids... and they are extremely inspiring. The ambience you create with the story, the music and the journey footage is incredible. I felt like I was on the complete journey with you. I've never wanted to sail in cold, snowy, rainy environments before... but now I would love to do it. The scenery is mesmerising! Good luck to both of you... and good luck to you Sohvi!

[@MaxPivovarov]

Congrats to Sohvi and hope the defence goes smoothly! 🍾

[@coldshoulder3753]

Thanks for putting out episodes of your adventures through the PNW . It's rare to see any sailing vlogs in the region.

[@leifjohansson1491]

Parhaat onnittelut, Sohvi!

[@icecreamlifer123123]

It's good to see snow even if on a sail. Thanks.

[@monumentmom7593]

Congratulations on submitting your dissertation. You're almost done!

[@karaDee2363]

Always love your videos.... and congrats to Sohvi for getting closer to finishing her doctorate..🎉🥂

[@Pillowcase]

You two are some tough adventurers. You make it look easy, you act so cool about it all - but what you do takes strength! Looks like its worth it though :)

[@karlfair]

Congratulations to Doctor Sohvi! In the states, we call sausage in a bun. Pig in a blanket.

[@frogsintheforest]

Congrats Sophie on the upcoming academic milestone! As always a beautiful scenery and adventure generously shared, aswell as culinary delights. Thank you.

[@garyfairbrother5532]

Sausage baked in a croissant in continental America is called “Pigs in a blanket”. Hawaii does a larger but similar version called “Puka Dog”. Nice treat no matter what you call it. Happy Harbor Stay !

[@KeithBaileyEsq]

In the UK (well, England at least) 'pigs in blankets' is mini sausages wrapped in bacon. A sausage in puff pastry is a 'sausage roll'.

[@clevelandthomsen7042]

WOOHOOO, Sohvi!!!!! Amazing achievement.

[@hartfischer5509]

Beautiful scenery, beautiful music. Everybody is heading South for warm weather, and you are going North : )

[@stephanmckenney306]

Congratulations Sohvi!, You 2 are amazing!, Your Boat Looks Great, I really Like the Drone Footage under sail, Best Regards From Dominican Republic, ⛵🌴

[@sohvikangasluoma9519]

thanks!😍

[@woofna1948]

We Americans call those little morsels of happiness "pigs in a blanket". But the addition of the croissant is a better treat.

[@VerilogTutor]

Congratulations to Sohvi for submitting her Ph.D. thesis. It is a huge amount of work and a big challenge to complete.

[@MarinaBatham]

Congratulations Sophie on the submission of your doctoral dissertation!

[@dougsrepair1060]

Wow Prince Rupert in February. Good on you. Not many Canadians would take that on. Congratulation Sohvi nice work for completing your doctorate. Thats huge.

[@susanWilder2175]

A doctor of what? I think I may have missed that. Congratulations! Incredible to keep up the motivation with just internet.

[@PaulSmith-pz9eq]

The photography is just beautiful. Stay safe you guys . **** And Yes , That pig in the blanket or those croissants with jelly …. OMG !! I could eat them all day . Delicious!

[@brettbarce8563]

Anouther good video, welcome to Alaska

[@Santos-oc2no]

Congratulaions Sophi!!! it is a big step for phd!!!! amazing the place to summit it!!!

[@kapoorh]

Congratulations on submitting your doctoral dissertation. I remember the day I did it and how relieved I felt. Best wishe!

[@sohvikangasluoma9519]

Thank you!! Will feel even more relieved after the defence!

[@justinarundell1885]

Congratulations Sohvi - well done.

[@alaskahomesteading6568]

We're in Southeast Alaska. You should come by and say hi! North end of Prince of Wales.

[@colleenbalch328]

Congrats Sovhi, on this step accomplished. And, the silly name we call that sausage snack in the US, is Pig in a Blanket. :D

[@sdcofer52]

This was one more amazing video of your journey last year. You have captured the elemental beauty so well. Wonderful!!

[@bucbucbuc111]

Another fantastic short film. Loving your channel. Pigs in a blanket dipped in spicy mustard, a real treat

[@PNWwonder]

Sohvi congratulations, lots of hard work. Smart and beautiful! You two are an awesome team. Look forward to seeing the Dr. attached to your name. I live close to the pacific in Oregon, USA our waters are challenging on the this coastline all the way up to and through Alaska, you two make it look easy! Happy sailing ⛵️

[@TheNadOby]

Damn, those catabatic winds are bad. You can have them in a second. Enjoyed those in Adriatics a little.

[@cliffordmyers1540]

Congratulations Sophie love you guys be safe stay warm

[@pauledwards5573]

You played some nice music there as well. Congratulations Sophie for your doctorate. Well done 👍

[@drdon7363]

Well done Sohvi. Just submitting is a big step.

[@dulciemargaretcolton145]

Loved this one. Pleased your both keeping warm in the freezing cold weather. In UK " Pigs in blankets" are little sausages with Bacon wrapped round them, then cook them. You eat them with Roast chicken or any other cooked dinner that you like.

[@lory2622]

Thank you for showcasing my Province, British Columbia. It is as amazing as these videos suggest. I have sailed in Williwas without ever knowing that was what they were called. Be well. I expect you are up past Stewart Inlet by now and perhaps onto Haida Gwaii. Enjoy yourselves.

[@trichardson8999]

Awesome footage of Dall's porpoises..very cute animals. Your music and filming 🎥 SPECTACULAR

[@stevenhunt496]

Very nice episode ! Well done ! Thank you , and best wishes .

[@staxter6]

That was a stunning anchorage, good memories for you both.

[@dariovilla978]

Sophie....congratulations on finishing (almost) your dissertation!

[@philippeterson3144]

Congrats to Dr. Sophie!

[@davedawson4830]

Yay Sohvi. Almost a doctor or, I assume, a phd. A doctor of what? Nothing like a fresh baked pig in a delicate crumbly blanket. Love the videography--sure highlights our epic coast, Cheers from Vancouver, BC, Canada

[@alexanderlenina4203]

Would be nice to see more from the life inside the boat. Specially at night when it is snowing outside. Thank you and safe trip.
