Sohvi's secret frozen sweet potato soup recipe, featured in the video, great as it does not require any fresh ingredients except for the potatoes! Peel and cut 1 or 2 sweet potatoes Add some (maybe 1 dl) of dried red lentils Add a vegetable bouillon cube or vegetable stock Boil in water until sweet potatoes are soft Add 1 sliced chili Add 1 can of coconut milk Add 3 spoons of peanut butter Add 1 spoon of red curry paste Simmer for a while. Mash the whole thing with potato masher or something else, but leave "chunky". Add juice of one lime. Serve hot, enjoy! Freezing the soup is optional, although this one does get better after being reheated at least once ;)

Looks and sounds delicious 😋

[@pinky2245]

Oohhh, that looks and sounds delicious! I must try it ... I love hearty soups!

[@kathleencorrigan8274]

This is endearing -thanks for the peaceful tour of your days. It makes me happy.

[@danskehans]

Your ending shots of the Northern Light were downright spectacular. Thanks.

[@davidr5165]

is there anyway you can take us on a small tour of each port you stop at? Restaurants? Landmarks? History? interview locals? That would be SUPER interesting. Thank you, I love the content.

[@tomandalbert]

Keep up the great 👍 work

[@paulbadger6336]

Lived in Alaska for many years. Being on the water with the northern lights reflecting off the water and merging with the sky is spiritual .

[@ralphny]

I just love you guys! Haven’t been sailing for a few years,but I am delighted to travel with you and Sohlvi. At 86 not sure I could manage a boat again. Best to you both. Ralph

[@rogerblackwood8815]

The quality of the video of the Aurora was simply stunning, particularly the moon gliding across the screen into darkness and then the lights appearing. The way you captured the colours changing was very impressive! Happy new year to you and all followers of this amazing channel🥂🥂

[@pplusbthrust]

This planet has a lot to offer for us planet watchers. 🌐

[@johnwest7993]

More beautiful guitar work to accent the beauty of the region. Thank you for not over-saturating the color of the Northern Lights. I've done a fair amount of photography, and I see more beauty in reality than in Photoshop.

[@2010gtoner]

Yer man J.S.N.B has very credible competition, interesting. love this wee Chanel.

[@ryanjennings6541]

Your videos are Jems , Being from Northern Alabama in USA myself, my wife and I talk often About a life of travel. I love videos like yours showing the harbors and smaller towns I can sorta see how life might be spent living there . Its all so humbling to me, so many beautiful places I'll probably never get to vist, lots of great people Such as yourself I'll never meet and adding to that . when Im at sea or backpacking the desert . Nightly, I'll peer up at the stars . And think there's countless spectacularly beautiful places here on earth. imagine what a life of adventure would lie out there . Life is so precious . Cheers

[@deuteronimus750]

Your sister makes a good hand. An extra rum ration occasionally would be a thoughtful gesture.

[@dianab8008]

OMG the northern lights in the video, absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much ❤ hello from Aussie Grandmother

[@jaxonxx2562]

I like your posts. Just found them so I know I'm quite behind. None the less, enjoyable. You have a pleasant voice as well.

[@donnakawana]

Thanks for sharing your lives with us... My son lives to watch a few channels.. He wants to be a oceanographer.. he is obsessed with anything to do with the ocean. He said"This is my favorite channel, their in my favorite place...looking for whales an sleeping under the Northern Lights!! Goals when I grow up!" Thanks again grateful for your channel!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️

[@perharaldsen9783]

Fantastic! I love this area. Very nice filming. Best Regards from Lykken Expeditions. Sailing Around Svalbard this year. In 2023 Værøy - Jan Mayen - Greenland - Iceland…

[@jesperwall839]

Only thing missing is Molly Sanden and the children singing 👍😀

[@ChristineSpringerElaine]

The time lapse is stunning! I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright Alaska and saw the lights many times. Your footage is unique. Thank you!

[@vintagebikes4215]

These temperatures are something else

[@jayltd.7030]

The food in the bahamas is the Best , well certainly a 9.9 outa 10

[@davidc6510]

Beautiful drone footage of the harbors and northern areas of Iceland. Amazing time lapse of the aurora borealis! I can only imagine what the northerners of ancient times must have thought of the amazing light show. Great video Juho and Sohvi! Thanks for sharing!

[@billhadden7219]

Something I haven't seen you talk about is your survival gear. That is so important with cold weather and water. I would appreciate seeing what you suggest.

[@patience8884]

Northern lights were nice, thank you.

[@vraymond108]

Getting better and better. Can t wait to get back aboard.

[@elizabethkennedy9626]

Our lights in Australia has more of a purple hue but is better viewed after taking a photo

[@shaunroberts9361]

OUTSTANDING. NORTHERN LIGHTS WERE JUST OUTSTANDING. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@autoculto7629]

Gazpacho soup. I'll never forget that episode of red dwarf lol

[@Whaler1981]

The northern lights and drone shots were very interesting, walking around dark frozen docks was empty filler.

[@AlluringArctic]

okay we'll order more northern lights and clear skies then

[@SailProMarina]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Arktika. She's my new favourite vessel by far !! No more dreams of a 54' Amel. I also LOVE what you guys are doing and i'm trying to prep my Steel Hull Bruce Roberts for a spring run up that way towards entrance of the Northern Passage. My favourite part of EVERY episode is that Sofi it totally immune to your charm !! When you say something halfway funny she looks at you with an expression that is priceless !!! She is awesome and you are sooo lucky !! Well I hope you get a Million subscribers on this journey and I cant wait to meet you guys somewhere along the Northern Seas. Until then , Fair Winds, Light Snow and may the ice part ways before you !! Love You Guys !!! SV HYDRA ... Passages

For lunch Sofvi gives Muslix. Yumee

Freezing and heating soups helps the flavors marry.

[@remodeledcatidea5324]

I am in miami and it got cold today. 70 degrees. I am under my heavy comfortor blanket on my boat. Sailing is only on sunny 80 plus days. thank you.

[@christip20]

[@hexhex7220]

love your videos... but I'll gladly live vicariously through you and watch the northern lights on your videos, from the silky white sand, warm Caribbean breeze as I enjoy my sun downer after a full day enjoying the hot sunshine...

[@TheSringel]

Thanks again

[@TheBigWWI]

Beautiful video. Thank you!

[@jtlissner3062]

happy new year. fair winds and following seas for 2022.

[@AlluringArctic]

Thank you JT, same to you!

[@judyraymond7041]

Your videos get more and more beautiful and captivating! The music is fabulous, too! Well done! Thank you for all the time you spend creating these beautiful videos that take us to places we can’t travel to right now! Love sharing the adventure with you!

[@ourv9603]

Fish Factory? A factory is where they build something. I'll bet they dont build fish. I call those Seafood Houses. There they buy the boats catch & package it for delivery to market. I live on Californias Pacific coast. We have a harbor in our town which is home to 200 commercial fishing boats. The harbor has 6 seafood houses here. The fllet brings in Salmon, Halibut & Dungeness crab. Due to climate change, the boats are seeing calamari squid in their nets. Normally, they dont see squid north of Monterey. We are @ the Oregon border. !

[@miketcq8]

Awesome Video Juha, happy new year to you and Suvi

[@AlluringArctic]

thanks michael! happy new year!

[@bjarkiorjonsson7290]

Say hello to Bubbi from me.

[@allornothing7957]

That was awsome! I'd love to see more of the "features" of the boat! But it's also cool seeing them as you make videos and seeing a bit more each time 😁 especially interested in the windows that look sort of double glazed? Thanks for talking us along, giving me much food for thought as I want to do the arctic!

[@nzer57]

search META-ARCTIC-VOYAGER-47 It will take you to all the specs for this boat

Happy New Year! Stay safe.

Thanks, happy new year!

[@AdventureNow]

Lovely episode! Would love to see the northern lights!

[@grahamatsea3575]

Some great time laspe photography, thanks for sharing 👍

[@skaraborgcraft]

Keeping it real. I dont begrudge people earning honest income. Pity some channels take peoples generosity to advantage.

[@UUBrahman]

Wonderful.

[@vincegordon6830]

Beautiful!

[@fredwilliams8305]

S & S: Sunday, 16:35, St. Augustine, FL 80 degrees. Happy New Year. Wondrous scenery, scary seas, and an excellent first and only mate who also cooks. The Northern lights were much better than I ever saw from Southern Wisconsin. I noticed that there is an herring and photo museum where you are docked now. Wonder how many visitors they have? Continue safe sailing conditions and can’t wait to see you skiing soon. Be safe.

[@judsonquiaoit8256]

Wonderful...A lovely couple, and brave...

[@robinhodgkinson]

Nicely shot and edited video as usual. Thanks. As a pro photographer I can say while digital has given us the power of god when it comes to photography, it’s also responsible for endless fake surreal landscapes. All power, no taste is a dangerous combination.

[@lonniekropf808]

I saw the northern lights when I lived in Montana USA, one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

[@vickychristopoulos8614]

Wonderful!!

[@piopawlu]

Great footage as usual! I appreciate the honest presentation of the northern lights. People usually get really disappointed when they see this phenomenon for themselves after all the IG shots they had seen before :) I wasn’t a fan of your change to the vlog style, but I got used to it now and actually enjoy it, especially as it seems to let you create more content.

[@ghhammer3498]

Thanks Juho and Sohvi for a wonderful time you give your viewers. I'd like to see the Northern Lights someday.

[@DougVarble]

Great Northern light video

[@AlluringArctic]

thanks doug!

[@Perkelenaattori]

What an amazing video. Timelapse was especially amazing but for me the mainpoint was docking in Husavik simply because it immediately brought Will Ferrell's Eurovision film to my mind. :D

[@craigmartin8326]

I liked it a lot.

[@IrenESorius]

The North are truly stunning and no mosqitos, sandflies or Scandinavian perkelen knott-jävlar this time of year. Absolute perfect. Take care very important people. Cheers,, 🍻🍻🤩👍‍‍👍‍‍

[@karaDee2363]

Sohvi is so adorable. And love the time-lapse photos you took at night. Wishing you both safe voyages💖

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Great final sequence of the lunar transit and the Aura over the town... do you notice your magnetic compasses tending to point down as well as as to magnetic polar North rather than true north.

[@AlluringArctic]

Our compasses are quite screwed to be honest, but I think it's a mechanical error with the compass itself

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

@@AlluringArctic 🤣....😬🤦🏻‍♂️... that reassuring 🤞🏼 Sounds like you might have to do some recalibration to do.

[@mslcreative]

Amazing thank you

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Nice video, epic capture at the end 👍

[@nicktchoudov8785]

Awesome footage and content... screw the Bahamas and those who are making money out of their partner's skin...

[@ed_richards47]

Beautiful footage of the Northern Lights. Many thanks for sharing.

[@universalhead]

Yes the northern lights you captured are amazing. Thank you for showing that. I haven’t seen them this winter yet. I made your special soup and it was yum yum yum 😋. Like no other soup I’ve had. Thanks for the recipe.

[@WillN2Go1]

Good point about the pumped up images of the Northern Lights. If you haven't spent $3500 on a top end Nikon (probably Canon and a few others as well) than you might not be aware of what's now possible. My Nikon 850DX (Now 'last generation' has a huge dynamic range. I can shoot something five stops underexposed and then dial it right to a normal exposure using software. With film 5 stops was D-Max black -- meaning absolutely no information. With our eyes we can see a -5 stops reflection in glass, but it would never show up in film). Blue bio luminescence in the ocean from plankton used to only be photographed with super high speed (color) film 1 second time exposure. Now it's almost easy. One thing I've noticed with KZbinrs is that often the GoPros and cheaper DSLRs they have don't have anything like this dynamic range. Now it should be possible to find a cheaper used camera with a much better dynamic range than the otherwise amazing GoPros etc... I wish I knew more about the various cameras. I've got a 7 year old Nikon D7200? 7500? That I'll never use again and be happy to pass along. But I don't remember if the dynamic range is better than the $1000 DSLRs now being used. (Can you tell that I'm an old professional. "You're a pro, what's the best camera?" "I have no clue, I use what I have until it breaks." ) If there's any reason you can use my old Nikon I'd be happy to ship it to you. The Zoom lens has a scratch but it's not much of a problem.)

[@geofftolchard]

Beautiful

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

That was stunning Joho, love that you keep it real, awesome scenery and the Northern Lights. Those Danish style fishing boats are beautiful and I bet they have some real old thumper engines on board. Happy New Year to you and Sovhi. Stay safe. Andy UK

[@mikemaxwell2591]

Love the lights, nice job! That said, it is -15C here in Iowa/USA today and in the Bahamas, they don't dress for dinner like you do or I would if there. Just saying 😂.

[@pbertf24]

You can have it ! I’ll take the Exumas and the Eleutheras over this any day ! Try to sail naked in that northern weather..
