"Faroes are suspiciously warm!!!" I suspect only a Finn could say that. Respect to Sohvi, she's a trooper...

[@nickbenfell4327]

These are the three stages of seasickness. 1. You feel really really crook and miserable. 2. You feel so bad you get scared you are going to die. 3. You feel so bad you get scared you are not going to die. Another brilliant video.

[@sailingdiamondlife]

Sohvi - 'So Enjoyable' and 'I'm done with the boat life' - best lines so far and followed by - Juho - ' yea if it's free then I'll do it' - classic yachtie talk... Well done team, enjoy the winter..

[@AlluringArctic]

hehe, Sohvi does come up with the one liners...! "free" there actually meant "vacant", although it was free as well (as in they did not charge us in the end)

[@MiQBohlin]

C’mon folks and give this crazy guys a thumbs up! 👍🏽 After all their efforts sharing this they are worth a 👍🏽, don’t you think?

[@SteinVarjord]

And also share their channel with others who might be interested in nice people traveling more interesting places doing more interesting things and showing it with quality.

[@777rogerf]

There are already 1.1 K thumbs up on the same day of publication. It takes time for a new YT channel gather momentum no matter how exceptional it is. It is off to a good start.

[@captainchristianguy3307]

Yes, absolutely. I am not as brave. I may brave sailing south where its warm. Going north in the winter? I consider that very brave. The Atlantic in the winter is no joke.

[@southerncross86]

He is top one

[@aaronr.9644]

I felt sorry for Sohvi. It sucks to feel seasick all the time.

[@mikewoodard6984]

It's tough being seasick and plus an unfamiliar port, poorly marked, pitch black, and sleep deprived. A lot going on there in a such a short passage. You guys and gals are tough. Good work.

[@tree4408]

Crazy what you can do when you are young..."it is only two days, I can stay awake". Nice to know you finally set sail!!

[@barrywaters6336]

Well done guys! While serving in the British Navy we were used as test dummies for a seasickness drug called Stugeron (in UK). It works extremely well. My sea sick wife used them when we sailed to Antarctica and I was amazed to see her eating and drinking during a rough crossing of the Drakes Passage. The drug freezes the fluid in the ear "tubes" which stops the brain from getting mixed sensations. (Eyes see no movement when down below but ears sense the motion). I think they sell a version of the drug as a small patch you apply under your ear too. Looking forward to the next video.

[@JeffoJonJ]

Hey man all those spliffs are making you seasick 😟😟 Brings back memories..never again 😵

[@Matt-ft2nz]

Sailing in the arctic circle is a lot more challenging then all the other "good weather sailing" channels. All the best !

[@jayltd.7030]

Well not really ,All important

[@stevenr8606]

Sohvi is a trooper 👍 Thank you both for a 'REAL to LIFE' episode... as always 🤟 ☮

[@Joostdw]

Hi Juho and Sohvi, thanks again for taking us into ur adventures. Respect for your optimism ! Jealousy is a emotion i try to avoid. But in this case...... :-)

[@SailingSnowGum]

Sohvi, you and Carolyn should have a talk about what’s best to eat after a passage like this. Lots of chocolate croissants in France, is one suggestion from the Admiral. 😃🥐 Regards from Rick and Carolyn on Snow Gum.

[@leeman692306]

Juho. You are SO going to have to buy Solvi a good xmas present.

[@jayltd.7030]

diamonds & lots of Them !!

[@jennifermackinnon6982]

I almost got sea sick watching the cabin bouncing up and dooown. Aghh. Poor Sohvi. Hope she finds something that helps in the future.

[@mallory0322]

Congratulations Juho and Sohvi!! Such a beautiful voyage, the scenery is absolutely stunning!! All the best to you🌺🏵️🌺🏵️

[@JakeSpeed1000]

Nice job entering the harbor at night!

[@malkie638]

so Glad see you arrived safely and that Arctica is taking care of you now,

[@Bruin4Life]

Glad that you had a safe sail to Iceland, but sorry that Sohvi suffered seasickness. I know from personal experience that seasickness is no fun. Now I take Meclizine before sailing to prevent seasickness if it looks a little rough out there. Take care and have a safe winter in Iceland.

[@stevenr8606]

On seasickness: I never, well once, got Seasick. It was in relatively small seas with lite winds. ➡️ Only happened looking forward.⬅️ Unfortunately, had to help pull the forward sail down! Walking backwards was a new experience!

[@dalechristensen6246]

Good job Sohvi and Juno. Another challenging passage!

[@Alaskalad]

Another nautical milestone completed, glad you both made it safely.

[@roncanizares9966]

Well done. Sohvi: If you never want to be sea sick again, buy and take Stugeron 15 mg tablets. Take 2 the night before departure and then 1 every 8 hours of your trip. They are the offshore sailor's best friend. The can be purchases at pharmacies in Britain or Commonwealth (or former Commonwealth) countries. Perhaps you can find them on the internet. Many off shore racers use them. And there are no side affects, unlike the patch or Dramamine.

[@Scramasax]

Good job! Definitely a sea area most people want to avoid during winter time!

[@Ken-rk3by]

Here's a tip if you get some rain-ex or something similar the rain will shed right off the windows making it a lot easier to see, it also works with sea spray. Happy Sailing don't freeze.

[@hotttt28]

I love your philosophy "that's how it is"

[@mylespovey]

Well done Sohvi, it must be awful for you to get so seasick yet you carry on.

[@mslcreative]

Breathtakng scenery I imagine from my small screen view. Great video thank you

[@MattOdomcreative]

Shovi is a survivor! Long nights while being sea sick... ROUGH...

Awesome, looking forward to seeing your Iceland videos!

[@SailProMarina]

Thank You - Thank You ,,,,, Love You Guys !!!! Fair Winds and Warm Nights !! And people saying too late to leave and I dont think you can ,,,, they dont have ARKTIKA. She will protect you and get you anywhere at almost anytime. And it's a warm early winter so far I LOVE THIS SAILING VESSEL !!!

[@donaldlyons537]

Sohvi was Definitely happy to get on dry land !!! You as well, Juho , I'm sure...

[@shaunroberts9361]

Cannot even imagine getting that sick for 2 days. BRUTAL!!!!

[@michaelewald1980]

Hei Juho, we bumped into you in Torshavn at Etika in August, the Sushi restaurant out of all places, when you left and we entered. We were in stopover to IS from DE on M/S Norröna with our VW van and my 9yr old son recognized you immediately. "Ist das nicht der alte Segler auf KZbin, der mit den wilden Haaren?" - "Yes, he must have been the arktischer Segler with verrücktem Hair", I said and so we went into Etika to immediately get rejected as we had no reservation, the hotdogs up the street were not bad at the end :-).

[@douglashill9844]

Glad to see you made it to safe harbor. What a great adventure you and Sohvi are on! Memories for a lifetime. God speed.

[@cliffandrews]

Juho you are one tough cookie !

[@russellbrown3526]

One of the best channels on the internet! Well, one of my favorite anyway. Well done Captain Juho and Princess Sohvi!

[@ladyrita3667]

That was beautiful video! Beautiful passage! Well done!!

[@davidc6510]

Congratulations on reaching Iceland. Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@TitusLivy777]

An excellent video! I'm sorry Sohvi was ill during your passage, but I hope you are both enjoying your life in Iceland now.

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

Great episode another to Iceland 🇮🇸

[@canyonhaverfield2201]

Regarding Sophie's appetite verses up-chucking & having to turn in..out of exhaustion..you described her predicament so sympathetically..provo man ! You two are extremely mature & thoughtful..& quite charming ! Here's a toast..from the seashore town Carmel in central California..a nice Ca. Merlot by Fetzer..& a howling storm runs outside my Tug the camper truck, gusting over 40 ..rocking like the California 60's !

[@lzcrazyzl6443]

Thankyou for sharing beautiful people. Be safe and have the time of your life!

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Well done guys, safe a d sound and no dramas. Look forward to the footage from Iceland Andy UK

[@vraymond108]

Great episode because it shows vividly how boat life is on the open ocean and why this particular boat handles most situations so well. I hope the new seasickness pills from Faroes keep you both from that suffering.

[@goffredoify]

By far one of the best sailing channel.

[@21lt]

Great video! Hello from South Texas USA. Be safe

[@andrewsymons5871]

Well done guys, I'm glad you arrived safely. Now get them snowboards out and climb a crazy peak. Salut

[@donnakawana]

Sorry Sophie, it was a beautiful sail though a bit choppy!!!lol!!! It was a beautiful view tho... Thanks for sharing your life with us an Fare winds an following sea's guy's ✌🏻💗😊❣️

[@skaraborgcraft]

On my first Biscay crossing i puked for 3 days, but by day 4 i was well recovered. Understand how Sohvi was feeling, its very draining. Well done, made good time on that passage considering.

[@captainpaddy1524]

Very nice! Enjoyed that immensely.

[@AdventureNow]

Lovely, good to see you on your way and well done for braving the north in winter! 👍

[@neald7158]

Thank you both! So sorry Sohvi had such a bad trip.

[@ArcticSeaCamel]

Congrats for finally getting there! What a beautiful mountain view you've got there. And Sohvi, I feel you... 🤢

[@peterlosangelos4108]

Well done Sohvi you survived. Looking forward to see Alluring Artic Icelandic adventures. Some Northern Lights would be nice. (Sohvi is missing in first line of channel description.)

[@LordLaytham]

Great videos So enjoyable Thank you both so much x

[@bjorkinagisladottir4697]

Welcome to Iceland !

[@chadstinson9886]

I really like that boat 🚢 couldn't think of a better comment but I wanted to leave one to help

[@karaDee2363]

Great job Juho.. I'm so happy the both of you made it to Iceland, all that preparation really paid off. So sorry the beautiful miss Sohvi was not feeling well during the voyage, so be sure to treat her out to a great restaurant to celebrate your successful voyage. Love you both❤, can't wait for the next video.

[@jimmytjomsland6132]

At 15:22 ballistic black and brown headlands!! Great bluish waves and lite multicolored skies!!

[@rickstevens1479]

Whats this now, No palm trees no beaches ? Just traveling to a freezing great white north.. Can I come with...? Lovely boat and crew......

[@mreza84]

Nothing is scary as a dark approach to an unknown harbor 😧😬

[@elelion9149]

May God bless you both..

[@nanlog4303]

Hardcore sailing - respect!

[@megamediker]

With seesickness it helps, watching the waterline.

[@Truecrimecommunity]

I’m sailing to Surtsey when I hit the high seas! All the places that are off limits to anyone but government I will be conquering! I won’t be posting about it but I am certainly going there! The only place I won’t go is Antarctica bc I have no desire to sink hitting a chunk of ice.

[@mariannewinkelman7255]

Thank you for sharing another fascinating video, I thoroughly enjoy following your adventures, from sunny South Africa

[@sunline24]

Another great video, thanks.

[@ghhammer3498]

Great passage and Captain Juho is a professional maneuvering the harbor. Sopvi needs a good pair of Sea Legs. Look forward to you two skiing down a mountain slope.

[@janisripple754]

Enjoy your adventures

[@jamesmcgowan3132]

Nice! Fun to watch video. Very nice boat!

[@jozetrselic]

Wow! Great sail!

[@sailingmementomorill2752]

Incredible to be able to make this passage at this time of year! Congratulations🤟🏽⚓️

[@AnatomyLab]

Congratulations another tough challenge mastered!

[@eksistercia]

Respect for the brave people who love the north.

[@invention-city]

Great job getting into the harbor!

[@thequietrebel7695]

That opening shot of the islands was awesome!

[@ryanhorlyck]

Well Done !

[@matthewbaynham6286]

It looks amazing.

[@PK-cc8lf]

Stugeron available online from the UK Even half a tablet may do the trick. Best to take first one before you sail.

[@sandy-quimsrus]

Stroke of good luck with the weather, well done. Very brave!

[@lifewiththecibs]

Wow! Them Islandic waters are no joke! Glad ya'll made it safely.

[@user-vq4eg4cj8t]

[@curtishill6490]

Thank you for sharing my Fin brother👍So sorry Sohvi felt 🤢 I enjoy watching your videos from Cape Cod. Your new boat looks real safe. Can't wait for new videos and stay safe💯🙏

[@mikemaxwell2591]

Great video, love the sailboat, and find you two young people amazing. Takes a tough spirit and smarts, I think you both qualify, thanks for the look. Have to say that I'd be sailing away from Winter but I'm not as tough as you two. Be well!

[@mbtaggett]

Have watched a few sailing channels but this is favorite by far. So real and informative. Great young adventurers. Nice ☀️

[@normanboyes4983]
