Our Unique Method to Survive an ALASKAN WINTER STORM

[@AlluringArctic]

Thanks for watching and now for a short advertisement: I've prepared a new limited-edition print run available at art.alluringarctic.com . These prints are only going to be sold until the end of August. Starting from $99, shipping worldwide, and with free shipping if you order 2 or more prints. These are really high-quality prints with the ink printed directly onto the aluminum panel! They look amazing, super happy about how they turned out! The print sales are actually a kind of a kickoff for our Northwest Passage project. After the end of August we should hopefully be busy dodging icebergs and polar bears in Greenland so I won't have the time to keep up with the webstore, and that's one of the reasons for doing just a limited-time run ;) Have a look at art.alluringarctic.com and I hope you find one you like!

[@woundedwhale786]

Are the prints waterproof as I would like to out one up in a bathroom?

[@sdcofer52]

I didn’t quite understand how Lumi was managing to stay upright. I know the full keel and skeg help but still she doesn’t go on to her side.

[@vblaas246]

Amazing work. I think panorama one was the favourite of your wife. Christmas indeed.

[@merjamannonen430]

No huh huh teidän kanssanne 😳 7.6. luki että tällä jo miljoona katselukertaa , wau ! Hyvä te, influensserit 👍😄 !

Hey, Artic Sailing, havent had any updates lately. how are you two doing?

[@mildsauce5019]

The aesthetics of this video are sublime. Winter in that forest ? Beaching a boat in a really shallow inlet? Absolutely BEAUTIFUL

[@J.K.productionsDE]

At first I already thought: This is EPIC. Then, the drone shots came in Then, you went paddle boarding. Then, you went SKIING? What more can I ask for? It just kept on getting better!!

[@immanuellasker4273]

Then a bear showed up

[@robertgregory8936]

Agreed.

[@robertgregory8936]

The skiing made me happy. You really distinguished yourselves. You are Hardy, energetic northerners, reminding me of my parents from Denmark. They used to swim in freezing mountain rivers and ski like you. Thank you.

[@IanCrouse]

What a life. As a US Naval sailor, I've always wanted to return to the open sea but never had the chance. This cures my aches.

[@DisposableEgo]

You can call to the sea, but it may not sing back. It's okay, Shipmate...your feet were where they needed to be.

[@newtagwhodis4535]

Rest easy bro. This channel is really great, for sure! You may also enjoy the Sailing Frenchman, a solo, worldly sailor. Very cathartic. I fear the deep ocean now, but it is really nice to watch. I haven't felt that serenity of calm sea for a long time.

[@keeledover4218]

is possible you can crew with me i have a similar yacht

[@GuacamoleKun]

A lot of people go backpacking or live in a van and post it on KZbin. Not a lot of people do this. Thank you for showing us the beautiful sights!

[@brianholmes849]

Stunning cinematography.

[@jordantaylor.]

Lifelong outdoorsman here. Sailor, bc snowboarder, surfer, base jumper, bow hunter you name it... This video is next level. The logistics are mind-boggling, tides, weather, avvy problem, topo mapping etc. Living the dream. Alaska is incredible, my most memorable experience was touring around Thompson Pass. Keep the adventures alive, you got a new sub.

[@johnq.public2621]

It's great to see people with lifting centerboard/swing keels actually showing the capabilities of these vessels! 😄👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@zillyoldfart]

I still don't get why the boat does not swing to one side with so much slack on the ropes. Is the boat a dual-keel or ... ??

[@Fossillarson]

Right ! As kid in 80s I always see the big sails out water in winter. Lake superior always baffled me how the smaller ones could be in yards

[@craigwalker3541]

Love my 26' Balboa swing keel, can beach it, but sometimes have to pick rocks and sticks out.

[@wildwaters8348]

First video I've seen from this channel, haven’t got to the actual beaching yet and I was wondering "how are they gonna beach a boat with a keel?" Now I realize

[@TheOfficialTentoumushi]

i was wondering about the Keel, Ive had one sail boat and wanting another, ill definitely be checking these out.

[@cordinarcher1054]

You truly are a very tough couple with a broad scope of capabilities. I'm glad that you exist, because I HATE cold weather, but I LOVE the breathtaking beauty of the place you went. Thanks to you, I can enjoy the beauty and wonder of that place and your adventures from the comfort of my home. You did such amazing camera work and took gorgeous pictures. You should be proud of yourself.

[@irockluculent961]

I like these people so much, mostly because they are joyfully (basically) going after something extraordinary they really desire despite the risks and because they demonstrate such skill and grace and good humor as well.

[@richardrichard508]

Just when one thought a vlog could not get any better this comes along...sublime. This is on so many levels very professional. The fantastic work on camera angles allowing the viewer to imagine they are there: at the same time telling a story without endless and repetitive narrative. Sohvi says so much by saying so little which is so refreshing to find on vlogs. Really the scenery is so spectacular and your drone shots of the vessel in such isolation are mesmerising. With such a high standard of filming just demonstrates why narrative and music are not only not required but an annoying distraction. Looking forward to the north west passage. Many thanks for you hard work in producing this. Sohvi’s favorite “Granite Cove"

[@brucecraig4954]

The sense of adventure and fact that you are both so in tune with each other on your life adventure is simply amazing on so many different fronts. I am sure the off camera parts have a level of anxiety and anticipation but overall good on both of you for sharing what lesser people would ever try. Thanks again

[@IonOtter]

19:22 Those weren't bear tracks, those were wolverine tracks! Excellent find!

[@Celtic-Films]

As someone who has lived in the Yukon winter and sailed in British Columbia, as well as a Colorado Rockies skiers, what you two are doing is pretty amazing. Calculating the tides and marking it well. Smart and kind people to follow in this world. Thank you for this.

[@srf2112]

I've faced enough life/death situations in the ocean to not really want to have anything to do with sailing and small boats but thank you for letting me live vicariously through this video.

[@benohanlon]

Say more?

Sounds like you should have a KZbin channel!

[@VictoriaPitt01]

The BEST Sailing channel, bar none. THE BEST.

[@michaelbartyzal1306]

Yes, I much prefer this to all the equator KZbin sailers.

[@miatamt]

There's a cpl other good ones there just not on the water ATM But I do agree ATM this is the best channel on the water ATM and they have a very relaxing channel and content

Just randomly came across this channel and I'm blown away. I thought this guy is crazy to think he can put his boat there. Then I was surprised it worked and how it just stayed there. Impressive channel.

[@blegi1245]

Being able to do that is one of the reasons to own a french aluminium centerboard sailboat.

[@maxhartman8414]

“Its so nice to sit on a very sharp rock” seems like such a lovely Finish way to express joy. Lovely channel to stumble across, looking forward to the north west passage,

[@astronorthwet636]

I can’t imagine how strenuous it would be to climb from the waters edge to the top of a mountain in skis. I wouldn’t make it 100 meters! Very impressive that you two are able to physically do that!👏👏😊😊

It called splitskis, so you can tour in them as skis and then join them together and snowboard down.

[@nskimharris]

@@Captainhaddockthethird Want! Thanks!

[@ghoindia]

What an Adventure.!!!! Boating, hiking, skiing, dwelling in nature.. what else can be a better blessing than this.

[@olgaciocca8213]

Sohvi's favorite should be the one with the window. It's different from your usual ones, and talks about a home, not only a boat. A home with very nice, always different views from its windows 🤩

[@shanep5121]

I love when you speak your native language. You guys are the best. I tbink Sohvi picks the last one, with the sunlight from the right.

[@y0uRF4t3]

A beached boat during a snowstorm sounds like cozyness overload.

[@basilbrushbooshieboosh5302]

Damn you're in a beautiful spot. One of your most enjoyable episodes guys.

[@AlluringArctic]

Thank you! Yeah it was one of the nicest spots we've been to..

[@hg2.]

Where do they get the money to live like this?

[@lkirkby3]

The two of you work together to do manouvers many sailors never try. Impressive

[@peterwager6938]

I believe it’s the first picture, so crisp and reflective of what you are describing. Enjoying your videos

[@stevenmoomey2115]

We had a Hurricane coming in, dug a shallow trench in the yard next to the house. Put the engine up, slid the boat off of the trailer, into the Cradle trench. Partially filled the boat with water, and pulled a hose off of a side port, so it couldn’t overfill. Flipped the Trailer over, and anchored it to the ground with rebar. It was an Aluminum Cabin Cruiser, survived with no damage.

[@philipwilkie3239]

Such a treat - fast becoming one of the handful of channels I really look forward to.

[@MaryLouTido]

I used to eat saltine crackers with grape jelly when I was a kid. I had forgotten all about it until watching you and Sohvi eating crackers and jam.

[@Metalandstuff]

First time i see this channel. Im not used to boats , i don't know anything about them...but i might learn a little . So amazing nature , and when people adapt , and don't complain , there is so much nature can bring. I easy support a channel like this. 🙂

[@michaelbrownlee9497]

Sophies fav is where she enjoys being, nice and cozy in the boat looking out the window.

[@McGyverPilot]

This is a fantastic video showing a safety practice that most Boaters will never use in their lifetime, however when it is needed will prove invaluable to the few who utilize it. An excellent educational tool... and a reminder to reserve chocolate for those special moments! 😅

[@ErikJohanOlsson]

Tack!

[@jasonncoxx5837]

I think Sohvi's favorite shot is the first one presented. The shot where you can clearly clearly see the bow lines and stern lines

[@prile74]

Danke!

[@aaronr.9644]

Sohvi's favourite : the one looking out Lumi's window . I can picture Sohvi sipping on some hot chocolate while looking out of that window :)

[@donwp]

Yeah, but not American hot chocolate. :)

[@cynthiadavidson9301]

The beauty of your location takes my breath away. I could watch this all day.❤

[@MateoAranzadi]

I think Sohvi's favourite picture IS the first one because is spectacular and you can see the boat so clearly

[@gaylespencer6188]

I appreciate how much work went into setting up those shots, particularly the skiing ones.

[@tylert6887]

How was that shot even done?

[@snowsnakesurvival]

Awesome Video! Your dangers in that area are more than just trees, I've watched a landslide not far from Valdez while out Salmon Seining. You also have lots bear down there.

[@MikeBrown-dk7or]

I loved the paddle board and ski footage the best. Excellent video. A big thank you.

[@sbr123]

Thanks!

[@johnwest7993]

My favorite channel. Thank you for your high quality, thoughtful videos. I think Sohvi likes the Glacial Moraine Paddle Boarding print best.

[@timothywaterworth8649]

Her sitting by the window shot. Are view looking out together. Both dreams held together in one beautiful picture.

[@diIdaho]

Aside from my interest in your homeland traditions, your ability to show off the remote locales is superb. Definitely the best channel for authenticity and relaxation. Thank you.

[@merilynkron8750]

The best cinematography of all the sailing channels

[@johnbivins]

Absolutely wonderful! I love the serenity of your adventures. We grew up in Alaska, and my brother was born in Anchorage. I still remember the sky, the blue ice, and the moose everywhere! Thank you for sharing and your prints are stunning, I believe the "Dreamy sailing" is her favorite.

[@mackbolan5126]

Hi Juho. I think Sohvi's favorite print is the "a look out of Lumi's window" . Good luck!

[@derf85]

Thanks

[@baldymagoo]

Cheese and jam are awesome, Sohvi is "The Snack Bandit"

[@Erin-Thor]

Your wife is a trooper, exceptionally helpful! My wife would have looked at me over her cup of coffee and just glared at me… to mean “Me? Run holding lines? No.” LOL! 😂

[@emmawillard1832]

That setup in a gunk hole, ahead of weather in a tidal stream for shelter, is known as good seamanship. Keep the crew safe as first requirement and the boat, which is their place of shelter, safe too.

[@jesmarina]

Great video. I must say, I think you are the drone-shot master of YT. Of course the scenery helps, but still - they are truly beautiful. The BBC couldn't have done it better.

[@SneakyCheeseThief]

It’s always a beautiful thing to witness a unique ‘love language” in action! “Finnish Ice-Breaker as Spirit Animal” is definitely a new one in my book. You two make a wonderful pair!

[@chublez]

"look I am outside and I am drinking coffee" -A true influencer Need a artsy shot of that with the caption. will sell like mad on the usual suspects haha.

[@OriginCorey]

Man drones make productions like these SOO cinematic. A visual experience the whole time. And i know the cameras do it no justice

[@stevelawrie9115]

Love you two kids, playing and imagining which ice breakers you are. 🙂

[@10knotsvt]

Sohvi's favorite: The aerial shot of Lumi front a distance with the fog and mountains. Capture's the essence of your adventure in Alaska. Thank you for all your great videos. Love your perspective and laid back jive!

[@annelambert3029]

Sohvi's view out the lumi window. That's my favorite too.

[@D13VR]

As a pearler/skipper working on a pearl farm in North Western Australia (Broome/Darwin) when Cyclones (Hurricanes) come in - upon high tide we take our smaller fleet boats into Port and way up the mangrove creeks into Cyclone moorings. On low tide, they're beached/grounded.

[@MountainMariner]

I worked in the Chukchi Sea with several icebreakers, one was the Fennica! Also the Nordica icebreaker. And a Swedish icebreaker Tor Viking which rescued a mariner and his cat from a sinking sailboat. I was on the Aiviq icebreaker.

[@marstralia]

You guys seem so happy together. And so down to earth. Watching this video made me happy again today, after watching so many sad things in the news.

[@FoxtrotYouniform]

"there's no rocks here, except for the ones that are here"

[@hackisack]

My guess is that Sohvi's favorite is the boat out in the bay „half frozen anchorage“ This was a fantastic video! Not sure how you do it, but you make the cold (and wet) somehow feel cozy.

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

Hot coffee for the Fin who doesn't like coffee. I guess bringing it was instinctually Fin, no?

[@mariannewinkelman7255]

I think she likes the second big horizontal print with all the snow falling. Wow this was an amazing video. I was glued. Thank you for sharing your adventures, glad your subscribers are growing

[@nicodenhertog]

Sohvi's favourite would be the one of your yacht tied up 16/9 format

[@stephaniestearns2493]

Sohvi's Favorite I think is #1 the boat with ties from the shore. So beautifully you are making your moments memories for all of us. Thank you!

[@sv_endless6340]

Sohvi's Fav: The Sun pic last one standing

[@stefanvanvuuren3931]

I think Sohvi's favorite is the one looking out Lumi's window. It is a great photo even when not as vibrant compared to the others. You have such a talent dude, it is amazing!.

[@AngusJohnson-ei1kk]

There's a red light behind you on shore at 11:17. Did you leave a camera there?

[@einarquay]

Many of us here watching are living vicariously through your videos. We hear the sounds, see the images, but miss the tastes and smells..the whole experience. Seaweed, coffee, crackers and jam, and for me, imagining the heat coming off a cabin heater is the what I miss most. Cold and heat.

[@Valerian1Ardelean]

Sohvi's favourite : the one looking out Lumi's window

[@PawlSpring]

The time elapsed video of the tide starting at 18:00 and then skiing... holy cow

[@stevencohen4580]

Amazing video's thanks for sharing.

[@jimc7991]

I think the last picture is the one.the drone view with the mountains in the background is awsome. I'm surprised you haven't got eaten by a bear hiking through the mountains to get to the snow.

[@DiabloSpearguns]

Spectacular 🤙

[@lilabarreto5361]

Sohvi's favourite must be the second picture, a sublime eagleye view through a lens of snow. You have a very unique way of being and living the experience. Thank you for letting us in.

[@Bobtowngarden]

[@rickhern15]

This was one of my favorite videos you have made. Nice job. I look forward to your journey on the NW Passage.

What you guys have done here is really incredible... And to capture it all with epic drone footage??... My mind is completely blown. Thank you!!

[@suziederkins3310]

Love your content. I’ve seen so many vlogs of tropical island hopping but what you’re doing is so unique.

[@TheMonkeyNeuron]

The symmetry of the vessel and its lines is so satisfying.

[@SafeDesk-gl2fs]

Relly nice shots!! Sovhi's favorite: The first picture. You can see the boat so clear!

[@robertclark504]

Sohvi's favourite is all of them. Best favourite is the shot over the top which show her 4 things she loves snow, boat, snacks and you. Thank you and many blessings safe sailing

[@MrMurl]

The knowledge is remarkable. It is always so satisfying to watch someone who knows what their doing accomplish tasks which would baffle the rest of us. The thought to do this would never cross my mind, of course I’m not a sailer, but this is next level. Amazing!!!

[@ElizabethMargerle]

Sohvi’s favorite is the one that you’re beached with the beautiful snow dusting on the trees. I must make a confession though, as much as I like all of them that particular one is my favorite.😊

[@lewiskinser8320]

I can’t agree more, more helpful information than rest of sailing channels combined. I knew when y’all bought this vessel that beautiful things would happen as a result and not let us down yet. Thanks for being real with us

[@ChollaJJ]

So technical and intelligent….plus the drone, tide, weather, dingy, wind, knots, 😅. You two are great ! Stay well, stay vigilant …Thanks 👍

[@waderogers]

Perfectly done. I imagine you have higher tides coming after the high tide you went in on. Such a secure feeling to know you can retract the daggerboard and beach the boat. Makes doing any bottom repairs in remote locations possible. Plus, you don't have to anchor a half mile out and do a long dinghy ride in questionable conditions to get to shore! I owned a 22' sailboat with a retractable keel and I loved it. If there was a sandy beach somewhere here around Juneau, Alaska, I've been on it. The boat was small enough, I could beach it on an incoming tide, tie a rope to the anchor, go to shore for lunch or to explore for a few hrs, then come back, pull the anchor and the boat to shore, and go somewhere else!

[@Dennis-Hare]

I think Sohvi's favorite is the one looking out the port. She spends much time there doing her research and such. Either way, good luck to you both.

[@stevenalleyii864]

I live 60 miles from that bay and have been a commercial fisherman for five decades in Alaskan waters and Prince William Sound specifically....this is a ridiculous spectacle...probably the calmest most protected waters in the entire Pacific Ocean

[@pirateroberts7684]

I was wondering that myself, I dont get it. What as supposed to happen the entire area is extremely protected with almost no fetch?

[@Belle501]

Looking out from the window is her fav. Such gorgeous scenes. I love them all!

[@MaShcode]

You’re jammin’. I once spent a stormy winter camp perched in a tented hammock. While the spot was in a protected swale the groan and cracks of the surrounding trees in the howling gale definitely made sleeping a challenge.

[@elwhagen]

Amazing photos and cinematography! Real down to earth people living a real adventure!

[@endrefasong]

Love this, looks like you're having a great time. My wife and me had the same realization about SUP boards, we thought they were boring and lame but now it's our favorite way to explore the coast, and almost better in winter than in summer. Enjoy your travels!

[@peterwinchester7796]

I think the window view print is her favourite. I think it is beautiful and would brighten up my windowless workspace x

[@dwighthires3163]

I think Sohvie's favorite print is the view out Lumi's window. Personally, my favorite is the long horizontal print of the aerial view with snow falling. Great plan to beach Lumi for the storm. I like how you inspected the seabed and set the first line in advance. Can you please show us on one of your videos haw you make the skis into a snowboard? You obviously have a way to convert skis into snowboard because there is no snowboard in your packs as you ascend and no skis in the backpack as you descend.
