Sailing off from USA's Snowiest Town in the middle of WINTER 

thanks for watching! the website is here: http:/www.alluringarctic.com And as you all know, these videos are crowdfunded 😉 www.patreon.com/alluringarctic

Never ever apologize for having a life beyond RU-vid and making videos. You have a life, you have jobs and you're doing your best. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos and for sharing your lives with us!

For me, AlluringArctic is unique among sailing and adventure vlogs. Your Northwest Passage episodes are keenly awaited. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

I think you are correct : better good interesting videos than many boring ones !

Tell me you’re from Finland without telling me you’re from Finland: „I‘m here to sit on the beach and watch the ice float by“. Nicely summarized and gave me a good chuckle 😁. A fellow finn.

The beauty of Alaska always brings a sense of awe, no urban congestion just raw nature

Several sailing channels start out ok, then sailing content goes away and it becomes bullshit drama. Appreciate your efforts and many thanks.

First of all, you are the owner of your life, so no need to excuse yourself. We are grateful to share some moments of your incredible experiences in areas that we just dream about. You are very lucky to have such an exciting life with a beautiful and intelligent partner that shares your aspirations.

"Turning it into steam" Finns never pass up on the opportunity to have a sauna 😁

Upping my Patreon membership level to $50/month and encouraging others to do so as you and Sohvi get ready for the North West Passage. I applaud you staying in the moment, and not filming every moment.

Live data being transmitted from the boat would be called 'telemetry' data. You just do as many or as few videos as you feel like. They are such high quality gems of beauty and exploration that they are well worth the wait. Live your own life. You only get one. Your videos are the only ones that I share on social media, because your cinematography, your wide variety of skills, adventurous spirit, and sensitivity to your beautiful surroundings make your videos jewels of the RU-vid world. So you just do you.

Super happy you have a frequency that suits your life. Always delighted to see a new video, whenever it comes.

The best ski scenes of any sailing channel I know! Glad the boat was ok when you got back.

Don't sell yourself short Juho. Some of us very much appreciate you providing voice to your thoughts. For instance, "I'm here to sit on the beach and watch the ice float by". Bravo!

Juho, you should consider creating merchandise with the logo of that favorite motto “let’s go” of yours and maybe include Sohvi’s ✌️wave as well. 😉

Love how Sohvi feels about her jumper collection,always looks so warm and just beautiful jumpers😊

I certainly understand your reasoning for not wanting to spend your time pumping out videos. The videos that you do produce are of such high quality that they are worth the wait in my opinion.

Hi guys, you shoot some of the very best videos on U Tube. The nature shots are great and then to get the ski content as a bonus is just great value. I’d take your quality over quantity every time.

hershey's is like bad coffee, it is fine until you try the good stuff. You do you, I'll watch when you put something out. The scenery is amazing. No need to compare yourself to other sailing channels. Everyone has their own motivation.

As an 80 year old life-long sailor landlocked in central Missouri I love your videos. Keep them coming. Thanks

Nice to hear you guys communicating in your native language. I love the drone shots of the mountains, the boat, and the downhills, well done.

HH coats with duct tape patches on them, the sign of an experienced Arctic sailor.

Good to see you back on the road. Not many sailing channels have a ski shop onboard. 😎

I'd much rather watch one high-quality video once a month from you than 4 from some of my other channels because you never disappoint. The drone shots with music are just incredibly well shot and edited, hands down world-class footage.

Truly an impressive video. I realize these videos take lots of time and erroft to produce. Thank you. My wife and I sailed oceans together for over 55 years. Great experiences, however we almost always stayed between 40S and 40N. You guys are incredible. Your lady/crew is DOUBLE incredible. HOW do you get her to stay??? 😂

"I'm here just sitting on the beach to watch the ice float by" To me that humble sentiment superbly sums up the best philosophy for blending with Nature and staying true...and that's why I watch your videos. Thank you and I'm looking forward to following your Northwest Passage and Greenland journey.

THE DOCTOR CAN SHRED!

I like that your videos show what it’s really like and not this perfect false reality that other sailing channels do. Glad to see you guys back aboard. Boat faired well considering the weather and wind conditions. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

I agree. Hershey's is to chocolate what Miller Light is to beer.

I'm envious of Sohvi's woolen sweater collection! She has good taste in design and comfort.

We’re here for the quality not the quantity. Exceptional video production. I can’t stand the bikini sailing crap. It’s just Alluring Arctic and TallyHo. Carry on!

Phantastic pictures again. So peaceful. Good words of yours. Your life, your choices.

11:02 this is one of the reasons I love your channel! Your channel is the only one I’ve seen with sailing and skiing in such beautiful surroundings. Thank you for sharing this with those of us stuck in suburban life!

I love when you speak your native language!

Little tip from a fellow (old) sailor - when leaving boat docked in an area where it might snow, cover as much as you can with a tarp(s). When you return you can just lift the tarp and the snow will fall overboard. Even works with ice. I also recommend a large push broom to push off any remaining snow. Cheers

Integrity, I will take that over a weekly video anytime. Amazing footage, story and editing! Thank you

Having just visited Alaska this past summer (2023) with my family, I am just awestruck with the beauty that you are experiencing while cruising. Your videos are amazing, and I can't believe the bitter cold that you both are able to endure. I especially love your skiing mixed in with the drone shots, just beautiful!!! Keep up the awesome videos, I love them!

I like your honesty .. "I just abandon all my responsibilities" 😄

I'm with you. Sit on the beach and watch the ice float by. I don't need to know where you are itching or what you had for lunch. Too many vids just ramble on about nothing. I'm here for the adventure and scenery. Really like your photography.

Taking pictures and videos and sharing their beauty with friends and family is much more humane than generating content for the masses. I have a hard time believing that the people that watch sailboats sailing in winter are the typical RU-vid sailing demographic. There is a serenity to the north-woods that is mystical and alluring. Once you glimpsed that spark it is hard to not be drawn back to it over and over. I am really excited to come along on your NW Passage. What an adventure that will be. Fair winds!

Sohvi's smile always makes my day!! You put out just the right amount of videos ... don't change a thing!

Great video as usual. Scenery is spectacular. Once a month quality is all we need. Safe travels...

Thanks so much for the adventures!

I have to tell you that I watch quite a few sailing channels, and yours is the only one I am a patreon of. I completely agree with your philosophy that anyone sending money to a channel, must rate the quality and content of the video, making it worth paying to watch. I supported Leo with Tally ho, but he now has enough viewers that I decided to rather give you my patronage. as I now live on a 32ft Aries in Knysna Lagoon South Africa, with a plan to sail up the east coast to Madagascar and beyond, having rented out our house, we like to get tips from people making videos about what it is like to live on a yacht. I am 72 and almost 2m tall, so it is a challenge with such a small boat, but that is all we can afford. So, consider yourself lucky that a poor man like me, with shit currency, rates your work highly enough to actually pay for it. I hope this comment of mine will give you some small boost ,that what you do is interesting and well produced. I look forward to your future adventures in the North West Passage. Cheers, Alex

Your grocery bill seemed like about enough to cover two weeks worth of food, in Alaska. Beautiful scenery!

You are the best sailing channel. Thanks.

You two are subtle powerhouses ... don't change a thing ... very special videos, and one of a kind really.

It's going to be a great adventure 😊

Your videos are high quality compared to many other youtubers. Looking forward to more, once a month or so :-)

I'm so proud to be a Finn! These two sailors are the very most interesting couple that sailing in the world! So original, hyvää matkaa ja kertakaikkiaan paras YTube video. CHEES, Ben

I totally get your top 3 reasons. If I could paraphrase it, you're more into creating something worthwhile the effort. That is sooooo evident in your cinematography. I'm beyond excited for the trip through the NW passage this summer! Thanks for taking me along.

Appreciate that you guys ditch the drama and just show what we are all here for - awesome scenery and real sailing. Kudos

15:37 looks like the ice sheet with Lumi is floating above the mountains! 😍

Thank you a million times! I just love your videos! Thank you! I get to travel with you guys from Paris's suburbs and it is absolutely amazing! I personaly don't care how many videos you do per months, whenever you feel like it, just keep sharing! Wishing you all the best for all your futur adventures!

Fish and palm trees are nice, but you bring us great adventures with beautiful scenery. Keep doing what makes you happy. If it doesn't make me happy, that's my problem. It is wonderful to watch. Keep it up and a little more would be ok as well.

I enjoy all your videos and respect your decision to not be a slave to your channel. Srick to your principles! We will be looking forward to your Arctic passage.

Even tho you release 1 video a month I don't mind. Generally they are longer than your normal sailing channels and diffrent due to the mix of skiing and sailing. I have to say your camera work is awesome and also your choice of music is good. I always enjoy your videos. Enjoy life mate. Do what ever makes you happy :)

I love that your adventures are in the attic or cold climate. Everyone else films the same old tropical landscape. Your on a whole other level ❤

I’m not sure if you realize how unique, original and beautiful your videos are. There are so many videos that are very much like a hundred others but yours are very different than most others. Not only that but they are really interesting. I enjoy them very much and am among the others that would like to see more but I honor your choices and we will see them when we do. God bless.

Good to hear from you guys

You have 🎿 other locations. You always have solid content that nobody can repeat

Create as many memories for yourself as possible and go your own way. That time will never come back. Thank you for sharing your time with us.

Hey Juho, easily the best sailing YT channel for scenery and stunning locations. I’m not a skier but even I love your skiing / snowboarding sequences and the photography/ videography and drone work are the best! Love a few little technical sailing tips thrown in occasionally but please just keep doing what you’re already doing. Infrequent, high quality videos are so much more engaging than the torrent of rubbish that is so common on other YT channels. Very much looking forward to seeing your journey through the northwest passage. Cheers from Tasmania, Australia.

keep sitting on the beach my friend ..best sailing channel on youtube ..

Your videos are unique in a sea of sailing videos that push for weekly uploading, regardless the fact that those videos are actually empty. I don't know financial background of RU-vid, but I support your decision to post when you have good and interesting material. Keep your god work.

The average sailing yootoober would have taken a camera all over Finland for the two months you were back home. I like the mystery. We don't need to meet your uncle and cousins or experience shopping in a Finnish supermarket. Thanks for sparing us. Enjoy the beauty,

9:43 "The first obstacle of the day..." That was a comical coincidence 😂

Thank you for taking me on this journey. I have never experienced this type of landscape.

I've missed your videos. You're in such stunningly beautiful scenery and doing things no one else is doing. I understand you not wanting to spend your every waking hour making and editing videos, but when we see the end product, they are on a level that far surpasses other sailing channels. Excellent video as always

this showed me a side of sailing i never saw before, it is very fascinating and much more slow paced than the usual one, or at least it seem so! You guys are also a very cool couple. All the best

This is such a beautiful way to report a true adventure through icy wilderness

You are the best channel. Always genuine and interesting.

I totally understand your reasoning for quality content. I once again started watching for a while. I can't stop. the great scenery and the non-bikini content just keeps me watching!

you be you and sohvi be sohvi, im sure thats what most of us like the most. your vids are of exceptional quality and always 100% interesting. stay true dudes...lovin it

It is wonderful you are sharing your journey with us. Please don't ever feel you have to produce a weekly episode. Quality over rides quantity every time. Keep doing what you are doing it makes your channel refreshingly different. Cheers Eric

Good to see the boat navegating again.

Love watching a boat come alive after being blanketed in snow & ice. Way more work than comes across in any video. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.

Nice shots of the boat while underway Juho. Thanks for sharing.

Re: video release. It’s all good releasing videos with great content. Much happier watching good content rather than watching lesser quality. Enjoy the trip! We will too.

Keep doing what you are doing and produce quality over quantity! I love your style and really appreciate the level of cinematography you deliver!

Love your videos! Quality is always better than quantity and drama. Be safe and enjoy your lives. Looking forward to your next adventure😊

Your videos are very unique to the sailing cruising world. The snow and ice and the effort involved doing what you do is very interesting. I look forward to your posts. Sohfis pullover also a nice look. Some of the best Nordic style I have ever seen.

Agree completely about getting priorities right. Also about American chocolate.

Fantastic scenery. Good to see you are back on the slopes again.

Sohvi looks great in the turtle neck sweater.

This is like having a planet to yourself. What a place.

I completely understand your comments regarding the quantity of videos you make; the wait is worth it.

Huikeaa matskua Juho! Thank you . World class, unique, impecable quality ❤

You guys are tough !!! Real sailing

One of my favorite channels ! Good content and sometimes less is more. Not a bunch of silly fluff. Always look forward to each episode.

I always enjoy your videos, I see nothing wrong with the schedule you keep.

Love your photography/videography, some of the best in my feed. I really appreciate the effort you put in and the quality is outstanding. I always make sure I have peace and quiet for watching your work, pure escapism I guess, but it really is the best use of my TV. Thank you, stay safe, and enjoy yourselves.

This is the video we have been waiting for, sailing and skiing. Love it! I wish you a great skiing season.

Wow, what sceneries! Makes Lappland look like a theme park! Wilderness at its best! Vain suomalaiset!

Your best video yet? amazing scenery. You do not need to apologise for being different, That is why I watch your productions

Hi sailors I’m in Alaska, love your channel. I’m 57 years old out of back surgery. Love your videos are and how honest you are describing things. Even the American chocolate, I taught downhill and sailed years ago, your life looks like heaven too me. So cheers even if we don’t get too sea or see you as much thanks for sharing 😊

I like your honesty and sense of humor. Greetings from Thailand.

Always looking forward to your next video. Love the scenery shots.

I like your videos. No need for more, no need for anything. I feel fortunate you share your adventures

Recent subscriber. Love your videos and look forward to your adventures in the Arctic.
