[@SVImpavidus]

Thank you for another stunning video, for not being like the rest, showing us that beauty is not just white beaches and palm trees. Keep doing what your doing!! Sail Safe Ant & Cid xx

[@MethosFilms]

SV Impavidus (Ant & Cid Sailing) subbed ya :)

[@SVImpavidus]

[@MethosFilms]

[@stuartmcmichael5250]

Great video footage once again...so impressed in the editing. Malian’s excitement when she sees the otters and other animals is so perfect, she’s just like 10 year old child. So genuinely happy. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛵️

[@William1942-t2w]

I don't know how you manage to show such contrasts: such grace and rugged courage; such tenderness and brave watchfulness; such companionship and independence. You are both a joy, to watch for entertainment, and a blessing to see for the scope of human values. Thank you for being you, both. And for taking us along for the sail. As a footnote, that's the best sea otter footage I've yet to see. Thanks for that, also.

[@fredthornes5686]

You guys crack me up. I always smile at Milan's excitement at the things we take for granted and Johan's dry wit. The True Value Hardware comment made me laugh as it is kinda like the McDonald's of hardware stores in North America. Great video as always.

[@Timopo]

I greatly appreciate the high quality videos you create every Friday. Your video editing is perfect, your voice-overs are perfect, the background music is well-timed and matches the scenery. The only video detail of higher quality is the crew on board.

[@Bajatrvlr]

I loved this video... When Malin said the word sea otters, she looked as pleased as a puppy with 2 tails... Really, a stunning video.

[@jwyzdm]

Welcome to America, you really are seeing its true beauty as few ever do. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.

[@jochenludewig8857]

I introduced my 4yo grand daughter to your great video of the sea otters......we don't have them in Australia so she has never seen one, BUT like Malin they are now the top of the list as favourites!! She even did a show and tell (with a bit of help) at her kindergarten all about sea otters! Every visit to our home 'it's time for then sea otter video please Pop!'....Thanks again for the work you pout into the videos and mostly, for sharing your experiences.

[@crismoore6811]

Malin, I just love you being so joyous seeing new things. Your good/positive spirit is infectious. You both are an amazing couple. I so enjoy your videos. I have to go back to the beginning. What a wonderful video take of your life and adventures.I'll never get to Kodiak but you gave it to us through your filming. Thank you

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

I overloaded on the cuteness of the sea otters. I'm happy you have friends close by and a visiting pateron. Excellent video and I love the new drone footage. Thank you for sharing our 49th state; absolutely no word to describe the beauty. 👍⛵🌄

[@peterengel7885]

Being from the U.S. I like the prospective you give to the videos. I am learning a lot.

[@jemtuck1]

You guys continue to impress with superb SAILING videos. Love sailing along with you. Keep it up

[@SailAwayVlog]

So enjoying this leg of your journey! It's someplace we hope to make it to as well. Currently in the Bahamas, so we have a long way to go! Thanks for showing everyone places no other channels are. Cheers!

[@FighterFred]

Era videos är som terapi, man blir avstressad. Tack!

[@RANSailing]

Tack själf för att du tittar!

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

Nice to be in the Beautiful Alaska wilderness and exploring the coast .So much to see and explore. Thanks again for another wonderful episode filming 🎥 ⛵

[@dianeswift]

Lovely to see your excitement about Alaska, from being back in the midnight sun to the basking sea otters. You do seem to have the perfect boat for arctic sailing, even though the Garcia Exploration seems so enticing. I hope we have several more episodes with you in Alaska!

[@c00lhand2469]

Was cool to see my boat in the background while you were filming at the dock. I love watching the otters in Seward Harbor as well. They have often slept on the swim deck on the back of the boat.

[@stub2022]

Those sunsets are indescribable. 💛

[@BernardColdwell]

Beautiful greenery it all seems so relaxing. Also enjoyed those amusing otters, rolling about like logs LOL

[@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS]

Again, fantastic nature up there, and must remind you of Sweden! Love your choice of music... Thanks, Malin and Johan! Looking forward to another great video! As always big THUMBS up and SHARING your story on social media!

[@martinseitz7660]

Beautiful. i had been for vac in alaska about 20 yrs ago and there were barely no otters left. good to see them around! your shootings are coming close to professional - respect!!! m

[@jderrida69]

Thank you for another great episode. The two of you manage to do everything just right.

[@austinskylines]

You guys really put a lot of time into your videos and it is obvious when watching. Amazing friendships as well along the way. The patron you met seems like a really cool guy! Thanks for the great videos!

[@gaflaview6476]

Your reverence and low key appreciation of your surroundings is what makes me appreciate you two the most. Such a genuine appreciation of things, as well as good video skills, makes your channel special.

[@johnbaskerville2112]

The sailing ! the scenery ! and sea otters to top it all off....just sublime ! ! !

[@guymanges3628]

I wish the people would have showed us their boat . Size and all , must have been quite a sailing boat . Thank you two , on and on .

[@gpdewitt]

Beautiful scenery. Otters! I have seen them dive for shellfish. They bring up the mollusk and a rock, then float on their back like in your video and bash the shell till they can eat. The first animal I ever saw using "tools".

[@FamilyMadVentures]

Loved the video. Thank you for the long scene on sea otters! They are the cutest. Malin, I totally agree with you, they became my favourite animal when I saw them in California earlier this year. I could sit watch them for hours.

[@amyfaith2350]

I adore otters, they love to play. More please!

[@junepeck4259]

We love going to Seward on the weekends since we live about 90 minutes away. It's a great town, lots to see and we'll walk the docks looking at all the sailboats. I'm glad you all had a good time in Seward. 😊

[@HopeOfJoe]

DITTO, Fred Thornes !! What's not to like with your vlog !! Reminds me of sailing back in Maine for 20 years. Similar landscape except for no snow in Summer. Just tons in Winter. Love the slow, casual pace of you guys. 👍👌👊✌️⛵️⚓️🎉🥂

[@dennisbrown3652]

What beautiful vistas of the surrounding mountains and glaciers. I love the otters. Awesome video.

[@2ShoesPhoto]

The Garcia Exploration 45 is my dream boat!

[@montymontano8618]

Can't have too much otter footage.

[@charlesmyhill]

I'm going to pay a visit to Sweden. It must be a wonderful place if they're all like you two.

[@billb.6109]

As usual, very good video, and excellent quality. Milan's excitement about the sea otters,...Johan check under the bed when You leave, she may have brought aboard a new crewman.

[@SailingSeaDreamofClyde]

Great video! Aren't the logs in Alaska and BC waters a pain?! What incredible weather you had, and the moon hanging out just above the horizon; beautiful! I love how the otters always spin around as they swim about...

[@RS-co1ln]

I wish that I could give more than one thumbs up. I have been to Kodiak and Seward a few times. It is really beautiful there.

[@karitane]

It seems to me from your vlog that you have passed many locations where the spirits are resting. Stunning and beautiful. I don't think I could mock up how I would feel being there. Thanks for showing this.

[@jclark4185]

I have been following you since Episode 80. In the last few weeks I have gone back to Episode 1 and now I have completed back to 80 which is all of them. You two are very good. I like your relaxed attitude, great videos and can see excitement and wonder as you see new and varied places. I am looking forward to many more episodes of your wonderful adventure. We sail our 2003 Hunter 356 on Kentucky Lake in the US and have cruised the Tenn-Tom from there to SW Florida and back. Be safe and enjoy your adventure.

[@ukaszjaworski4365]

Hey! What do You say to visit Leo Sampson with his project to rebuild the yacht Tally Ho. His workshop is on your route, Sequim Washington. He also runs a channel on KZbin. It would be an epic meeting and a great surprise for both channels viewers!

[@chascain1]

Great minds think alike!

[@livetroy]

Definitely a must Johan to meet up with Leo.

[@seamusreilly6522]

I agree. Johan could do some carpentry. Great idea, two of my favorite channels

[@BegToDiffah]

I've been thinking the same thing! It'd be a great meeting and a shame to miss the opportunity.

[@lauriebott3020]

Leo Sampson & Sampson Boat Co is the hottest youtube sensation when it comes to boating & Building kzbin.info/www/bejne/anfLhahplqyAbJI

[@oddjobkia]

Random Fact.. those otters have the densest fur of any animal... hence the hunting... also the adults puff the young's fur up holding air so they float while the adults go swimming. (Thank you Blue Planet 2)

[@RByers51]

Great video about Seward. Ted Suckling is an old family friend. His father, Norm, was my fathers best friend in Manley Hot Springs, Fairbanks and Seattle from 1939 until they passed on.

[@idratherberiding3456]

I'm enjoying your Alaska series. I've been to Alaska a few times, including Seward. I hope you guys take the inner passage, with a stop in Juneau, my favorite town in Alaska and the one I've visited the most. Although last times I've been there, during the summer, it had too many large cruiser ships anchored, in my opinion.

[@upkpoxer]

Thanks for sharing! Awesome quality.

[@WaterFaucet24]

Ah, the fireweed and yarrow of Alaska...I miss those flowers up there.

[@Randy_Gustafson]

How brilliant was that to be in the same marina as the Exploration?? Now that is one for the books. Have always been a massive fan of you two, perhaps a little biased because of the Swedish heritage, please keep up the fantastic filming. )And Johan, it really is ok to smile now and again

[@MrA1582000]

Think I would love cruising there, maybe even more than in the tropics.

[@carloberg8772]

Goodness. I started watching these when they were going through the Kiel Canal, so for fun I checked when that was published. Almost 3 years ago. Thanks you so much for sharing your adventures. I usually watch on TV so can't leave comments, but they have all be wonderful.

[@donjohnston3776]

Interesting how we reach different places on our journeys. Gone With The Wynns have been to Seward and met-up with His & Her Vloggs who are based there. Your story is great. I hope it never ends.

[@jwfox54]

Love the sea otters

[@santosbay]

VEry nice Video. and great show of the sea otters love it specially that sleeping one so cute. take care and save journey.

[@rj7411]

We learn so much from your adventure. We could watch the otters for hours, so cute, so fun. Thank you.

[@Greggspies]

Must say the scenery is becoming jaw dropping, much more beautiful than the warmer places

[@drgopta2180]

You captured the landscape and aura very well.

[@karenlaw7685]

LOVED the otters!

[@burton_burton_burton]

Don’t comment often, but really enjoyed this! There are two other channels that I follow that are currently in Alaska, as well, and it’s such a refreshing change to view Alaska thru the eyes of sailors and not RV-er’s. Keep up the awesome videos and look forward to more AMAZING content. 🤙🥂

[@UweBehrendt]

We who live here take so much for granted ,on the west coast of Alaska or the east coast of New England ,Im glad you can show us what you see Thanks

[@jochenludewig8857]

Hi folks. Thanks for sharing again, I really appreciate the effort you go to to share.! This episode was absolutely perfect, top quality stuff! The scenery you show is amazing and I feel like I can reach out and touch it! As for the oysters first time....now I bet it will not be your last taste either! Great to see you are both relaxing and enjoying you time in Alaska...how could you not???? Happy sailing.

[@MrRJBooth]

Cracking footage as always and so well put together . Fanx muchly guys and so widely appreciated . Keep up the good work , fair winds an following seas :-D

[@adv-reject8200]

You guys are the best! Just finished up one of the many old sea dog videos with you two in it. So thankful for the time you take to document your lives and travels. Thanks, from Texas, US.

[@thomaswilkinson6276]

Everything you encounter between where you are and South to San Francisco is going to be beautiful. You are also going to appreciate how much cleaner your bottom stays in this cold water. Great video this week, sad about your drone.

[@MikeSantis]

Thomas remember they come from Sweden where boat bottoms stays clean due to the cold water.

[@SailingMalie]

Those Otta's are so bouyant, it's like they have a built in life jacket. You visit some beautiful places, thanks for sharing.

[@annaaldridge1312]

Awww, the otter footage was just the best!

[@JamesNewsomeCaiLeighAnna]

Loving the tour of Alaska. I have cousins who live in Seward so I particularly enjoyed seeing it. I didn't realize the population was so small. It's actually about the same size as the town I live in, which is considered quite small in Georgia. I assume Seward is one of the larger towns/cities in Alaska. Looking forward to the next video.

[@pablorolon2794]

Have been enjoying all your travels. I'm live on the highland mountains of Puerto Rico. Thank you for visiting the archipelago of P R. PS. YOUR WIFE SPEAKS VERY GOOD SPANISH. Can't wait to see the continuing episodes

[@aporiac1960]

There should be a 'Swedish Edition' of every boat design that adds a few square meters for a sauna! I'm not saying it would be easy, but compared to the technology we take for granted today that would have been considered miraculous a few years ago, the difficulty is probably minor in comparison. I bet that with a few more years of practical experience you could come up with version 1.0! Maybe nature is trying to tell you something by throwing all those logs in your way :-) It's been fascinating to watch your journey from Scandinavia to the paradise of tropical islands with white sands, palm trees and turquoise seas, and then back again to Northern latitudes to see the light of paradise as though for the first time. Paradise is everywhere, although the eyes to see it may be untrained, lacking and slow on occasions.

[@theislandpackrat]

Great shot of the sea otters!

[@SailingArgo]

Hi you guys! Today it’s been RAN binge watch. So we now have caught up with your Alaska journey. Enjoy yourselves! We did👍Fair winds from Marena and Roger in Norway.

[@georgegulden5819]

Somebody liked the sea otters. Love these videos.

[@gogs1468]

This Alaska trip is fantastic, you appear to be getting good weather and seas considering what it can be up in the Kodiak area. Shame about the drone, it would have been great to see some drone footage there. Fantastic footage of the nighttime sail, the sea otters are gorgeous, almost as if playing up for the camera.

[@herbertsusmann986]

True Value Hardware stores are all around the US. Mostly in smaller towns now due to big box store competition. They usually are well stocked with just about everything you could need.

[@edrosenberger6947]

You two are doing a great job of showing and filming this beautiful area.....someday like would like to do the same. Thank you!!

[@draczka14225]

Fantastic video...

[@Vepoch]

Such a good epp. Alaska is my favourite so far.

[@josh_ashworth5208]

Hey you guys are my favorite KZbin channel

[@atheistpeace7579]

thank you for the footage of the sea otters

[@Lez_Laura]

Excellent footage of the sea otters! My new favs also!

[@windonwater3895]

Fantastic!! I have a friend who moved to Seward 3 years ago. I'll email him and encourage him to come down and see you. You two are my favorites on youtube!! Ron

[@howardbodiford7130]

So restful, maybe even I could relax !

Your videos are so well produced and so soothing! It is always a bit of a let down when the videos come to an end. Thank You for sharing your adventures with us!

[@914va]

Thanks guys....excellent footage!

[@SailBeforeSunset]

My First Mate wants to sail north to Alaska. I guess I should start planning for the trip!

[@murrat]

Your sound recordings are excellent. All things are beautiful up north with less people.

[@pjd2709]

The sea otter's are sooooo cute, sleeping on the water! Some beautiful country and scenery you have shot. Thank you for sharing your sailing travels.

[@bja2024]

I loved the exterior shot of the cabin with the lamp light. I would be curious to see the lighting effect from the inside.

[@uraqtee]

Very good, I like anything about Alaska, the scenery is very nice. Seeing Malin get excited about the sea otters reminds me of a little girl on her first trip to the Zoo, she gets so excited and laughs like a 10 year old. Keep up the good work and be safe

[@alandrinkwater9867]

Loving the wildlife well done

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hey fantastic scenery, majestic, beautiful! Great video work J&M! Thank you!

[@michaelwaegemans6802]

[@steamerAE]

Perfect, chilled episode. The sea otters are so cute, I like them very much.

[@joelenepreising7436]

I just enjoy you guys, usually the best footage of the week and I do watch a few of the other sailing blogs too, keep going you are way ahead of the pack with your footage it feels so real one can imagine being there with you guys.yes yes yes!

[@briancliffordsteele188]

Awesome video guy´s, cool footage of the otters.
