THANK YOU for watching and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Just as a side note, I received some worried comments thinking that the last bit of the video ("yada yada Patreon") is a glitch (wrong voiceover inserted), but it actually isn't. Everything is fine and as intended, I just wasn't feeling creative enough for my Patreon marketing speech 😏

[@nixl3518]

Actually it was quite humorous! I enjoyed it and it was refreshing and I thank you!

[@ganthrithor]

I fukkin loved your sign-off :D Great cinematography as always (and wow some of the sunset lighting is just incredible) and awesome job driving in that little harbor-- you really nailed that approach :)

[@JackSparrow-hh2lh]

I liked it, its good to not always take yourself to serious :) Also, one can get tired of all the youtubers having speaches about patreon, so this was very refreshing

[@TheDavidGill]

I did not subscribe first time I discovered you, then flat battery though I had lost you for good. Welcome back. I am in Sydney. Use to sail, so I admire your skill and confidence. Your selection of scenery is first class. I will fire up Google Earth and Maps to track and imagine. Fare Weather

[@AlluringArctic]

@@TheDavidGill glad to have you back then! thanks a lot and welcome along :D

not enough bikini babes

[@flasher702]

juho should wear a bikini. It worked for that zingaro guy who keeps wrecking his own boat. The Internet bought him a new boat.

[@jcaam8094]

@@AlluringArctic Kind of tough to have bikini babes in the North sea during winter I guess :)

[@nixl3518]

@@jcaam8094 well he has a bikini babe! She lasted all of a few seconds when he tried to persuade her to take a dip in the Arctic waters but she’s still a sweetie when she intermittently shows up!

[@MECX3490]

Totally agree...

[@ralphny]

That’s not being lazy. That’s being efficient!

[@davidc6510]

Juho your camera shots especially the drone footage are amazing as always. From the views on the mountain hike, to overlooking the harbor, and following the orcas it is a treat to watch. Great job on the smooth single handed docking in unfavorable conditions. Thanks for sharing!

[@billgardyne7328]

I really enjoy your honesty. You don’t pretend to be someone apart from yourself. e.g. ‘too lazy to stow the dinghy’ and showing a potential crash landing at the dock. We have all done things that we later regret (or were lucky to get away with). Thanks for taking us on your life journey. Would love to have swum with the orcas though it may have been a tad cool for a dip. 😳

[@davidbroman8391]

Spectacular! The drone footage of the Orcas was amazing.

[@AlluringArctic]

yes it's a beautiful country!

[@DeBonoJo]

You are Wonderful and your photography Amazing ! Thank you SO much ! This is my favourite video ever. The sailing, the view, the place, the people, the sky, the waves, the boat, and most dear to me, the orcas and the sound. Only thing I miss, is the smell ! Of the wonderful air and the wind on my face. Happy New Year to you, may it bring you plenty more glorious surprises! Love, peace, and health.

[@Joyseeker]

You have my respect after docking like that.

Great footage of the stunning scenery and the orca being playful ....... at least they are more friendly than the Spanish one's and you didn't get your rudder eaten!

I lived in Bleik 1979 - 1980. Took a bath in same clothes as I was born with and together with two young ladies on mid-summer day in 1979 - the beach is just fantastic as allmost all other beaches around Andøya (three years in RNoAF - ENAN/ANX)

This is a masterpiece of a vlog. Many thanks.

[@mosca3289]

I’ve never been to such places and maybe I never will have the chance. But your beautiful movies make me daydream of such a trip.

[@WindwardToEden]

You are sailing in a very unique part of the world, we hope to join you up there one day. Loved seeing the Whale!

[@sharkamov]

As someone born and raised on the Norwegian coast [and having spent most of my career as a merchant mariner across the globe], I'm time and again struck by the fact that you're actually serving as a _tremendous_ 'ambassador' to my country and it's very long stretched out coastline! . . . . (Fun fact; The entire Norwegian coastline along the mainland, in and out fjords is a bout 24.000 Km [or roughly 14913 miles, or appr.12959 Nautical miles, or _half the distance around the Equator,_ if you include every single island, the sum _total_ of Norway's coastline - reaches a whopping 102 937 km!) BTW; That getting alongside in Nyksund was done by none other than a bona fide _natural!_ . . . 😉👍⚓

[@pespisheros]

hello my hero, brasilian here. Amazing and nice video. Now here 25 degrees celsius. hahahahah.

[@mocheni1]

Thanks for the place names, it's fun to chase you on Google Earth. It'd be nice if you shooted and published more of the solo docking process like at 5:17.

[@craigwournell1496]

Love seeing your videos. Your cinematography has been improving very quickly! I once had a similar experience with a pod of orcas and it made all the work and upkeep that comes along with a sailboat worth doing. They stayed with the boat for 5 minutes or so, in the early morning moonlight. One came up along side for a closer look and covered the cockpit in some pretty gross spray. It was like something out of a National Geography Film. Keep the content coming and keep us along for the ride!

[@kevgermany]

Looks beautiful to me. Lovely mix of scenery, static and living

[@johnnyleojohansen1092]

Nice 😃 I have been Sailing all the coast to north and stay there for 3 years now. #iGoNorth 😁⚓️⛵️

[@wesailwillow]

Happy New Year 😃 Such beautiful scenery.

[@MiQBohlin]

Rusty steel poles are the Norwegian trademark. You can see them all over the coast. Usually Navionics help you out anyways.

[@AlluringArctic]

Yep, just that this time the supposed colors of the markers were not in Navionics, found them in local charts though! Good thing about the iron poles is that they can not move (like floatable markers sometimes do, especially in areas with ice)

[@MiQBohlin]

Quite! I noticed that they weren’t in Navionics - and still aren’t. I know several fairways along the Norwegian cost where you can’t tell the difference, but combining visual with charts works well in most places.

I was there in Bleik in the end of July -20. Not with my sailboat though. Took the ferry from Senja / Gryllefjord. Spectacular scenery, especially at sundown. Helvetin pitkä matka ajaa hki - nordkapp ja tuon kautta kotiin. Kannatti.

I've had the fun experience of being chased by Orcas in my 24' sailboat. This was in South Puget Sound, Washington State. There was also a calf in that pod.

[@mrvegardeide]

Well done! Nice video!

[@MrMiks12]

Tak!

[@AlluringArctic]

[@vraymond108]

Great episode especially the whale drone footage. Always a wondrous experience interacting with whales. They are almost human but with different bodies.

[@gppl77]

The more I watch your videos the more I tend to think that you have the best picture of all sailing videos. Colors are just right, drone shots are plain stunning, yada yada yada. I really wait for your new video each time:) PS Probably you could meet/collaborate with Eric/NBJS, your videos definitely deserve big audience. Thanks for sharing! Happy new year!;)

[@lenitacrueger895]

Beautiful boat and amazing views of your country. Loved the baby playing in the pod!💙

[@BillB23]

I think those tail-slaps were becaus they did not like your drone near their calf. Just a guess. Fair winds and following seas. (but not too large)

[@justarandomguy3071]

When will you do a real time update? Cant wait to see the new boat and hear about future trips! If you are planning to do a refit, please film it. It can be quite entertaining. Just look at Mads over at SailLife.

[@AlluringArctic]

I'll try to do that soon. Mads is the king of refit videos, hard to match that! 😁😁

[@karaDee2363]

You're doing an amazing job and having a pod of orcas next year boat is Epic

[@glennk.7348]

2:30. 😬😮😲 like a minefield!!!

[@DiabloSpearguns]

such an amazing channel 🤙

[@spymaine89]

Mesonychids were similar in size to a wolf, but their feet were ungulates. Looking for food they started getting deeper into the water and in an evolutionary process that took millions of years, they developed fins, lost the fur, and the shape of their teeth modified until they reach an anatomical design fully adapted to marine life.

[@herumluftenstorm]

Wooow!

[@desiree1433]

It’s so refreshing to see the orca in the wild. I don’t understand why they are kept in a cage

[@alfredondatra]

I'm amazed KZbin didn't recommend this channel to me before, been following several "real sailing" channels for years and yours definitely has a distinct wholistic style and I love it! Super well balanced between tech, nature, sailing, practical tips, gorgeously shot footage - impressive production, congrats:) My new favourite channel!

[@AlluringArctic]

thanks and glad you finally found us heheh!

[@UUBrahman]

Excellent video and first rate drone shots. The change of angle, the transition, on the drone shots might be slowed down if there is a way to do it. Thank you for making videos.

[@JackSparrow-hh2lh]

beautiful video Juho! I always get anxious when you are docking alone, but thats probably just because of negative experience I had to make. Good luck and fair seas to you!

[@RoryL83]

yada yada yada Amazing Orcas yada yada!! Thanks yada!

[@Cptnbond]

That was a challenging harbor entry, but at least the weather was nice. Strange that these markers did not use international practice, port hand has red can (square), starboard hand, a green cone. That way the shape would guide you despite these rusty poles.

[@MiQBohlin]

The lateral system is not “a standard”. As long as there are two different standards: Region A and Region B. Region A is Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Greenland. Region B is N & S America, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan, Hawaii, and Rapa Nui.

[@CalciteSerendipity]

Those poles are a bit low so if there were markers attached to the top they might be carried off bu storms. The few poles I've seen in Maine are all leaning over at some angle from battering by waves.

[@paazbra]

16:09 sick shot!

[@11begood31]

That was really good, I see a video like that, I will still be thinking about it twenty mins later, of course I'm prejudice, it has to have the ocean and sailing

[@Davesunflower]

fun fact , the ORCA nicknamed KILLER WHALE , is actually a Dolphin !

[@AlluringArctic]

thanks a lot! and yeah haha.. don't worry about that! thanks for watching!

[@davidellis2021]

After renting boats in the Netherlands that have both stern and bow thrusters I wonder why sailing boats don't have them as it makes life so much easier and safer. Lovely video again. That baby orca! What a special moment. Thank you for sharing.

[@TurkishLoserInc]

A lot of sailing vessels are 30+ years old, I doubt most people would want the hassle of the retrofit, it also has a slight sailing penalty in terms of drag, not to mention running the wires and being able to drive the load of the bow thruster(depending on how strong the motor is)

[@AlluringArctic]

Yes, like the previous poster mentioned it is added complexity.. I prefer not to have one.. over 40 ft it might be nice!

[@Scramasax]

If you want propellers in all corners of your boat, just get a motor boat instead! :-p Nah... Drag and weight, that's one reason. Intended for beginners and not so able sailors, is an other. ;-)
