Thanks for watching! We are now preparing for the Northwest Passage this summer, sailing from Alaska to Greenland! I've just finished the project webpage: www.alluringarctic.com/ . The page will get updated as we go along. I will of course also be making a video series of the preparations and the passage itself. So stay tuned and bookmark the page to keep updated! :)
Olipa hienot sivut !!! Uutiskirje tilattu 👍😊
SO excited to see a Northwest Passage. Great tour, great boat.
Looking forward to seeing the transit to Greenland.
Good job on your website. Can't catch a fish without the line in water
we are running critically low on topsoil and fossil water resources.
My Main Point has been that those african ships hauling livestock feed out of here have been as unregulated as their heroin.
farmers should not go Entirely by the market,
you should understand that here by now.
they should set a little more aside for forage, or just set aside.
but with forage, the compaction is minimal, and the animals really do help build it up.
on the politics;
the folly of all humanity has been approaching subsaharans with reasoning, expecting the same results as normal people.
but Every Time someone does that, they are handing the subsaharans everything they need to know to figure out another way to continue without anyone finding out about it.
anyone telling them to stop just sends their minds strait into workarounds...they are not stupid, they are different intelligent...but They ARE NOT normal people.
Bucket showers on the deck. Gives a whole new meaning to "shrinkage" lol.
Wait, wait! till I warm up!
That's sisu for you... I grew up on those waters, and certainly no local would be OK with doing that.
I doubt any male Finn would find that a problem! 😲😁
@@sammic974 like laundry?
@@penguin44ca Don't think so.
Instant coffee?!? As a fellow Finnish citizen I'll have to reconsider hitting that thumbs up button... 😁
Some do enjoy blasfemi. I do smell some piles of proper coffee waiting in their mailbox after this.
😂
Running a coffee pot or k cup style brewer takes energy, and any reservoir based coffee maker runs the risk of freezing between cups. 🤷🏼♀️🫤.
Kyl pikakahvi kätevää on, ja jopa hyvää.... ku pistää paljon sokeria 😅
C'mon man ! Who doesn't love a delicious cup of Nescafe.😁
Looks ideal to me. You should both be proud of the work you put into Lumi.
Seconded! You did incredible work with her!
You to are an absolutely adorable couple and have created a beautiful home on the water. I think that the space is perfect, homey and functional all at the same time. May it provide the two of you years of memories. Never apologize for a little bit of clutter…. It’s just a sign of a full life. Thank you showing us your world. Sending you both love and respect from Idaho, USA 🥰🥰🥰
I wish I had the balls to take the leap and do what you do! You guys are inspiring. Be safe and well. Thank you guys.
What's holding you back?
I have read that there is such.a thing as piracy on the passage. Is there room for a local as guard and guide? The boat (and the two of you!) are looking great!
I love the both of you BUT, you should always have a current chart and kee3p it updated for the time WEN the GPS will fail for some reason. I suggest have them laminated and used as a desk top. Just a suggetion from an old navigator.
Agree. Sextant, Working Compass and charts.
WOW 😮 Your boat looks great & so cozy😊 You two did a fantastic job on the rebuild & no one would think the before & after shots are the same boat. Enjoy your next sail. 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸
New to this channel (May 2024), seems I will need to go back a few videos to see the “before” at this point!🤠👍🏼☮️
"The wire chaos of hell". I like it. I love watching your videos. Very peaceful, even including the wire area.
Looks very orderly to me.
Cozy little nest for the two of you. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤
No heating in the bedroom is cozy 4 u?
@@annakavan1869 Yes, with your lover by your side snuggled beneath a heavy down comforter.
Fiscars scissors are the best!!!❤️❤️❤️
My US mom had a pair she protected although not as much as her hair shears. To this day they are worth having and taking care of.
and they seem to last a lifetime or two as well!
My fiance and I lived on a 27ft sailboat and for a while it was very cold. We would have snow on our boat and iced up portholes. We wore lots of layers, had a nice down bag to sleep in, took bucket showers, and drank instant coffee as well. Not that we did it for nearly as long as you guys have but it gave me such an appreciation for what you guys do and I find it awesome. Although I'm not a big fan of the cold myself, I find the lifestyle you guys have so fascinating and you're one of the main sailing channels I watch most frequently. ❤️
I have now learned: I will never live on a boat.
This was a valuable lesson. Thank you.
Your boat is fantastic, and so too is your loved one. :)
its a sailboat thing, even a 10 million pound sailing yacht the living areas are totally compromised
Your comment of “the whole boat is a frig” is hilarious. Brought flashbacks of the unheated attic I used as a bedroom during my college days in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Thanks for the interesting tour.
Sohvi and Juho: I remember your episode, inspecting Lumi in Napa, California and thought, "my goodness, I wonder who designed this spacious 44ft sailboat"? You both have turned her into a picture of function and one of a tidy, cozy Alaskan hideaway on the water. We love the carpet Sohvi designed on the cabin floor, the diesel heat, the galley arrangement, etc.. The aft dining room area with all the seating or Sohvi's space is awesome, truly a lovely area for inviting friends or relaxing with a good book. We haven't heard from you for a while and were concerned that the Alaskan winters had taken their toll. Wishing you a safe and beautiful passage through the Northwest Passage. Before Valdez opened up the Pipeline, Exxon ran an icebreaker bow Tanker through this passage, studying the feasibility of crude oil transport. I happened to have been the Third Mate on this passage and later ran the Valdez to Long Beach run with ARCO Marine, Inc.. We can't wait for your coming episodes and want to thank you both again for making us welcome in your cozy and comfortable Home.
Get yourself some big round granite rocks from the beach and set them on your Reflek heater. It’ll keep your feet warm for hours. Bring it to bed and it will last all night!!
You look much happier without that critter on your head, you guys are neat. Enjoy watching!
Thank you for SHARING a part of your LIFE with ALL!
Of all the things in this video that people should trust... FISKARS ARE THE BEST. Those dish scrubbers are available in Canada.
Thanks for sharing and being a nice example for the younger sailing generation!
I love hearing from you and watching your stories! You both are a good example of conservation, cleanliness, and order without which living happily in such a small space would be very difficult. Thanks for sharing this part of your lives with us. Murry from Salmon, Idaho.
I grew up in the USA, but further north than about 1/3 of the population of Canada. Then I moved to the Colorado mountains, so I know what is required to safely survive in the north-country. So when you were prepping the boat in California I was concerned that you simply had insufficient room to stow everything you needed in order to maintain and operate the boat in polar wintertime, as well as carry along all of your gear for your various hobbies, and of course your filming equipment, batteries, accessories and food supplies. Then there was the matter of supplies for employment, and boat parts, tools, and emergency back-ups simply because you are often far from boat supply shops. I found myself adding it all up in my head and it made me concerned that you might be forced to make some compromises that could affect your safety. However, I noted that you very carefully chose your clothing and bedding, and got only the highest quality gear, such as the HH garments. They made real sense. If you don't have room to stow a wide variety of clothing, then get the best, garments of exceptional quality materials and construction that won't fail at the first inconvenient time, and that are adjustable for a wide variety of conditions. As I watch your day to day lives I note many of the small things and careful choices you've made to be certain that you are up to the challenges of your winter sailing environment. Yes, your boat looks 'lived in', but I know you can explain why you have every single thing on your boat, why it is where it is, and the other uses it could be put to if needed. For instance, those who don't fully understand your environment probably wonder why your sleeping bags are sitting out loose, not compressed and stuffed tightly into stuff bags. As for me, if I saw they were compressed and stuffed into bags I would wonder if you really knew what you were doing. But I'm quite certain you do, and I watch the small things you do for tips that I can use in similar circumstances. Enjoy.
WE LOVE THE FISKARS TOO!
A real coffee percolator would go well on that diesel heater…
Thank you for the look around
I love you little plugs for Finland, (: never knew that is where fiskar scissors originated.
Also if you are enjoying instant coffee, do not try fresh ground. Like most things once you sample the better alternative, it is hard to enjoy the other and then you will have to add more items to the boat.
winter toys/gear take up alot of room, no way around it.
Didn’t know that Finland made these quality tools, scissors and loppers to name but a few. You come from an amazing stock of humans- very cerebral and great engineering type dreamers and planners. That explains your methodical nature toward problem solving. Thanks for the tour. Be safe and hope you have time for a bit more flying on skis!!! No bears!!!
Good morning
Shepherd sheepskin slippers with the plastic soles (like the Oskars). I live in an old house with wooden floors in Sweden and they are a party in paradise on your feet.
Great to see a tour of your lovely boat, but wait, what happened to your signature dreadlocks? You look so different without them. 😊
Wellcome back, I was afraid something could go wrong as you have been absent for so long. Happy to see you again!
Great video! What a difference from when we saw you in the yard in Napa. I is so delightful and encouraging to see you making your plans come alive. Thank you! Namaste.🙏
Great tour of your life on board! I'm most impressed by your running dialogue and how you handle the camera by keeping it stationary while going down the hall for a better space perspective. And how you handle all your needs. I'd pretty much do it exactly the same... except for the instant coffee : )
Just quietly Sophie needs to stage a mutiny for the warm work spot! Good tour thanks - looks like excellent home1
we have those dishwashing brushes everywhere here in america, you must be looking in the wrong place in the store or something. Although I admit if you want one with swappable brush heads that will be harder to find, maybe that is what you meant.
it is a mountain cabin on water. Didn't know she was that big.
The “dishwashing” brush…. You might be able to find similiar brushes looking in the area for bathroom cleaning. I have a brush like that for the shower/tub and one for the toilet… gotta keep’em separated!
Your boat is amazingly tidy given how much y’all do for activities!!!! Thanks for the tour!
Awesome...I'm in North Carolina, and realize my fiberglass boat is high maintenance.... your videos inspired me to eventually get an aluminum hull sailing vessel as It is low maintenance.... Godspeed....and be safe
Aksentista äkkiä päättelin että suomalaisia sitä ollaan, hienoo että elätte unelmianne!
Very happy to see you back, I've been visualizing you hunkered down and feeling isolated.
Very interesting, Thankyou for sharing.
A decent amount of space for two people to live aboard. Looks very cosy.
Love hearing from Sovhi ❤ she is great on camera 😊 cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Onneksi olkoon...
-Ihan käsittämättömän hienoa!!! Kepeitä Tuulia
Thank you for the tour of your “cozy” living quarters. Happy you are both well. Stay safe and stay well.
This boat really looks very spacious and functional. I remember what a wreck it was when you bought it. It’s been fun to follow along!
The "livingroom" area is super generous with space, I love the couch for 10 people! That is so cool to have on a boat. I know that LUMI is 44 foot, but still very nice interior design.
I immediately imagined a wide drawer, when you mentioned the chart table with usless space.
_DITTO!_
My husband and I are wintering on our boat in Georian Bay. You have an amazing space!
We look forward to your videos. Thanks from SV Misty Shores!! You are both amazing.
I’m in Midland!
Very interesting how you guys organized your belongings in tight quarters. It certainly can be challenging to find items buried other things. Thanks for sharing. I like it!
We have dish washing brushes at grocery stores, I've never had a problem finding one, if anything we have too many choices.
Lumi sure has come a long way from the time you purchased her to your current tour video. This is one amazing boat and a big step up from Sylvia and Antartika (we won't mention the other boat that had a short span in your travels). I really like the layout of this sailing yacht and how you remodeled it. Thanks for sharing the tour Sohvi and Juho.
Thanks for the tour! I would love to see more detailed breakdown of your sports equipment. Would you mind going a separate video for that?
5:59 if we had an office I could go there and needed to concentrate and have some peace…. 😂 here they are, just the two of them, hundreds of kilometres from the nearest town and haven’t seen another human for a week, anchored in the sea, in Alaska and the middle of Winter and they don’t have enough peace and quiet to concentrate….😂😂😂😂😂
Suggestion for Floor heating.
Get a piece of 4 inch PVC or metal duct and mount it next to the diesel heater with a 90 degree fitting at the floor end to draw the floors cold air from areas away from the heater. At the top of the vertical PVC pipe another 90 degree fitting that will that will fit right up against the fan and draw the cold air from the floor through the pipe. You may have to get a 6 inch to 4 inch PVC reducer and the 6 inch side should fit around the fan blade to take only the air from the pipe. Your best bet would to purchase another thermal electric fan and mount that on the heaters exhaust pipe. You will be pleasantly surprised how the floor area will warm up because you are now heating the coldest air on the boat and not just reheating the already warm air in the higher area of the boat waiting for the heat to slowly if ever move down. Your hot water bottles should be a thing of the past. You could just purchase the 4 inch PVC (2) 90 degree and (1) 4 to 6 inch reducer fittings and test it with an existing fan. Or just start out with a 6 inch PVC setup... more air less resistance.
Great low-key tour! Your style is much appreciated as I have watched so many boat tours for work doing translation and voice-over. The change a pace is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing, and I look forward to your series on the NW passage.
Thanks for the tour. It is a beautiful vessel.
I admire your practical solutions which are innovative too.
You've done an excellent job enhancing the design for cold weather sailing, providing precisely what is necessary to sustain research work and activities in extremely remote and harsh conditions.
Great boat. The lounge area is huge.
Thanks! Greetings from Poland
You are great represantives of Finnish people! Keep on loving sailing and each other!
I'm not Finnish (I'm British) but there was a time when I worked for a Finnish company. They used to joke that Finnish people are just like Germans but without the sense of humour 😀
Very nice boat. Cozy and actually spacious. I would be sailing that thing down to the Caribbean.
Beautiful boat for sure and practical in its layout, definitely can tell the experienced cold weather sailor at work!
Thanks for the video. I think people love the cozy simplicity of your lifestyle in contrast to modern complexity that is forced on most of us.
a woman touch always makes any space cosy warm & homely. we luv your guys home🥰thank yous from new zealand⛵🏴☠⚓
🕊🕊🕊
Lovely too see your video tour of your boat. truly inspiring, I am at the moment looking for a way to realize my old dream of living on a boat again so this is great to see how you live. Be safe and skilful. Pinge
I would go absolutely crazy stuck in a space that small with another person for an entire winter. Now, by myself, ya, I spend a lot of time that way
Nice boat, looking forward to the technical stuff.
You have a very interesting sinaurio. I lived in a 27 foot boat for to years in Canada the floor was sooooo COLD.
Good to see your looking strong. Lifes addictive which creates clutter// stay clean and warm
Thanks for your tour
Curtis...note: 7 yrs off grid 7.5x23.5 lD
Very comfortable. Very practical. Thanks for inviting us into your home. Cheers
No matter Alaska, Africa or Japan..
Tankero-Finland is always the same!
Cool boat!
Same grocery bag than mine.. Kestokassi, in Finnish.
I’m really envious ,great looking boat
_REAL coffee or BUST!_ ~ Percolator on the stove-top or kettle to cafetiere.
You really have a beautiful functional, strong boat. I love it.
Hi Juho! We have dishwashing brushes in Alaska! We call them toilet brushes though.
hahah good to know :D Greetings to Seward!
Looks so cosy. I'd be very happy in that space.
Fabulous. Anybody else pause the video to see what books were being read? Good Luck for the future and stay safe.
Very practical set up. Love it. Especially the centerboard, large seating capacity, water tight hatchway and aluminum cockpit/dog house.
Thank you for the tour of your boat. I like the covered cockpit as a place to change out of wet gear. The diesel stove looks warm and cozy but the hot water bottles are the best!! Thank you for all you do to share winter adventures in Alaska. I live near Seattle Washington USA.
Your works are just like sitting next to you! I make sure to share and like everything you do.
If possible could you add to the description the year, brand, model of your vessel.
Come to Texas for eclipse in April! Vr Mark
From an Alaskan... You guys are doing it right. Loving these episodes and also really like this layout. Seems really great for these northern climates.
There are dishwashing brushes from coast to coast in America…
Love stern cabin sitting area! Added benefit is excellent access to engine compartment. Don’t know how you get by without proper shower in head.
YES!!! We finally got our boat tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, peoples! 3:45 - it's need to present to you the yacht alcohol distiller. Cheers :)
From your russian subscribers thanks for your cool video!! Have a nice day and good luck!!
fantastic setup on Lumi, so well thought out with limited space.
Beautiful boat. I like the idea of the saloon in the back, cozy. A kimberly woodstove be nice instead of burnin up your fuel, or in addition to an Espar in the saloon?? Must be an abundance of dead standing beetle killed SPF up there... certainly is in British Columbia
I had to stop by and leave you a comment because I’ve been watching your videos. What you are doing is absolutely amazing and I really love how you present your videos and carry yourself. God bless hope to see you on the water one of these days, but I stay in the tropics.
I just discovered you guys. I love these sailing videos. So much better than some of the others who just film themselves on the beach. This is real and i appreciate how you give explanations and reasonings to things. Keep it up.
Looks loverly and Cosy.
Have you seen the Chefs Crocks? They have a better non slip under surface, they are dark underneath and so not mark the deck.they are definitely better at preventing slips etc,
I love the concept of "modified IKEA carpets" for cold floors. That could be a "thing" 😅❤
Amazing as always!
Thanks for the tour. She's a great boat. Perhaps you could get some proper insulation for the floors, I'm sure that would help make things more comfortable. I guess the problem with a shower inside the boat is the condensation, cockpit showering is very chilly!
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
Much bigger inside than I thought it would be. Nice setup
Would love a video that focuses on provisioning, the kitchen, what is there now, what is working, what you have planned for the future, what you do for food storage, the length of time you provision for, what provisioning looks like in AK (where do you shop? will you use online purchases?), how you're thinking about provisioning for your Northwest Passage trip (will you go into Anchorage?). Thanks!
Good to hear from you guys
I imagine Alaska is not too different from Finland. I lived there in Alaska for 3 years. Loved it.
Thank you for the tour. Your sailboat bigger than I expected.. please stay safe.
That is really good use of those stove fans, three must move a good amount of air around.
Have you considered moccasin slippers or shearling boot liners or mukluks? Animal hides work best for keeping your feet warm in these kinds of conditions, but if you're vegan then a real rubber sole (not plastic) is a good second-best option. Please stay warm, and enjoy your trip!
So happy to see another video out. Thanks for the tour & explanations. Be well, warm & safe.
