Thanks for watching guys! And just because I forgot to include a timestamp in this one, the footage was shot in April/May 2023. Sohvi has now got her doctoral dissertation officially approved, so congrats Dr Sohvi!
yeah your siknes was becaus of the beer with banane i dont know why but it makes you throw up we use that in initiation rituals in the army^^
congratulations sohvi doutora
Awesome shots of the lights!! Awesome skiing as well. I will be in the sound fishing this coming week. I'm not sure where you guys are now. I love the sound it's so pretty, great fishing, and a lot of whales. I hope you are enjoying your time in our beautiful state. If you need anything let me know
Congratulations Sohvi! Any chance of a link to your thesis?
@@archibaldandres2968f they haven't already shared Sohvi's last name that would dox her. But I'd also like to read her thesis
One of my closest friends from high school went to Alaska to work during the summer and she stayed there. She built her own log cabin, became an expert seamstress that sold custom Anoraks to wealthy tourists, raised sled dogs and competed in races with her team and lived a life filled with joy and adventure. She lived in Alaska for about 40 years before she was diagnosed with an incurable brain disease. Rather than become totally disabled and live in a bed, she wrote me a 5 page letter explaining her condition and decision to fly to Switzerland where she was able to use their laws to end her life. Rest in Peace, Becky. You lived 3 people’s lives in your one. I hope you are leading your team in the next life my friend. We miss you ❤
That's a difficult but simple life ending decision to make. She didn't want to suffer dying. She wanted to die while she was functional. Was she an American Citizen or dual Citizenship? 2 years ago this Thanksgiving, my Brother (age 66) who lived in Oregon was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer and hung himself in his house. He was divorced and had 3 children late 20's. 2 months ago, a friend of mine age 60, shot himself in the head and died from the injury. Both people never mentioned suicide to me before they killed themself.
@@sanfranciscobay My sincerest condolences to you for your losses. My friend was an American citizen. She was a resident of the state of Washington, which has laws that allow for assisted suicide but she didn’t meet the requirements of our state. Her personal physician, along with several other specialists in that particular field, told her she had a limited amount of time to live but she would progressively get worse and lose her ability to use her body, essentially becoming totally disabled and not able to control any bodily functions. And with her condition worsening, she would have to deal with intractable pain issues. Rather than taking a slow, painful path towards the end, she chose to fly to Switzerland, which has more liberal euthanasia policies. Her doctor supported her decision and provided her with the information that she could use to make an informed choice. Her research included having multiple conversations with me, as my older brother made a similar decision to stop all medical interventions when he contracted Covid and died from the damage caused by the illness. We had long conversations about suicide and how it affected the people left behind and the arguments for and against euthanasia. I cannot imagine how alone she must have felt in Switzerland, without any family or friends to be there with her at the end. I think that is what haunts me to this day. I’m not a wealthy person, nor is anyone in her family. Knowing this, she kept the decision to herself and left goodbye letters for her family and some close friends. I think she didn’t want anyone close to her to put themselves into debt, because I am sure that her family would have mortgaged themselves to send someone to be with her at the end. I hope she had a chance to view the beautiful mountains of Switzerland before she passed. I know she loved the wild outdoors.
@@sanfranciscobaySorry to hear that, must've come as a shock to you
@@briangarrow448 Very sad for her. I believe there's volunteers who sit near you so nobody dies alone. She sounds like a very strong person to do this. The option of living until you die sounds much worse.
@@SonjaBruenzels To make matters worse, since I'm not "next of kin" (his 3 children are) nobody will tell me the details and share what his suicide note said. I want to know more about his medical diagnosis and his state of mind when he decided to suicide. His ex wife and 3 children won't tell me.
Are they sailors who ski or skiers who sail? Either way they are damned good at both! Thanks to everyone who supports these fantastic film makers. Your generosity allows all of us to continue to be mesmerized by their life.
hi! this is a great thought, it might not be obvious from the videos but personally i actually consider myself more a skier than a sailor!
@@AlluringArctic That is exactly what I would have guessed! Anyone who would dedicate a year of their life finding, buying, and refitting a boat to sail to a difficult location so they could ski from the vessel has definitely got snow in their veins. Of course, you could have travelled to a skiing destination in a much easier, less expensive way but you chose to sail! And that why I’m here. I find your story very compelling.
mountain climber?
Sisu
Holy cow.
Sohvi is perfectly calm in that narrow channel and while docking. You definitely found someone special with her!
Congratulations on your PhD
accomplishment Sohvi
Great photography guys …I enjoyed your capture of the solitude and peace of your
Journey
Pro Tip: Run a strong wire centerline and clip into that. If your safety harness is clipped into an exterior line and you're washed overboard, you'll just be drug through ice-cold water, cold-soaked, and may not be heard by those onboard. But if you're clipped to a center line and keep your safety harness line short, it's highly improbable you'll be washed overboard at all. If structures like the mast impede movement, use two lines/clips from your harness to the center line. That way, you can always be clipped in with at least one line as you move past centerline structures.
One only survives for minutes at those water temperatures and the cold hampers the movement of muscles until one can't move at all! Be save, we love you all!
@@DeanCokerit isn't just minutes even though the water is dangerous.
I was sailing in rough weather in Northern call and was just clipped into the boat with along and was knocked over board while the boat was moving along took all my strength to crawl back into the cockpit. I cut a section of climbing rope and did exactly like you said and it allowed me to sail single hand at night in rough weather totally secure no matter where I had to go. I don't understand why more people don't use that system?
CZcams needs to promote this channel more
I just found it 05/21/24. Peace Out!
Came into my feed 6/6/24, great content!
the skiing segment is truly amazing
Nice to see some free heel tele skiing. So smooth and graceful to watch when done this well!! Well done.
holy shit the northern lights with the sunrise was incredible, well the whole video was like shot professionally, really good
Kinda very rare footage for a single video - sailing and skiing. I'm glad you finally found the right place to have fun. Keep up, guys!
Dare to ski, where most would not even walk! Truly adventurous. Stay safe.
You are better then Hollywoods movies❤ Safe sailing guys👍
Absolutely.
Thank you once again for sharing your voyage with me. Such beautiful landscapes. A true voyage of a life time. Came to the realization that if all the women in Finland are as pretty, hardworking, with a smile as much as Dr. Sovhi then I live in the wrong country. Safest travels to you both, may the wind always be with you. Look forward to the next part of the trip. :]
OMG, you nailed this passage. Absolutely the BEST Sailing channel on UTUBE, the cinematography and sound is phenomenal. All this combined with Sohvi great news makes this episode outstanding, CONGRATS Dr, Sohvi, super impressive.
Wow, a little bit of everything great- sailing, skiing, scenery, with some northern lights thrown in. Amazing. (:
Dr. Sohvi nailed the docking procedure, Good Job. Cool Anchorage, fun skiing
Beautiful filming!
Your some very amazing people! You sail all over just to rest for a bit and then literally “walk” to the top of a mountain just to ski down it! You deserved your “bow party” !
Wow! 39 minutes. Thanks for the hard work editing a long episode. What beautiful scenery.
Congratulations Dr Sohvi, great achievement completed while making some difficult passages. Great videos.
The best kind of crew - bringing a new drone and never gets seasick. Your photography is back to the highest standard once again.
27 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS THAT WAS AMAZING, THAT WAS SO VERY BEAUTIFUL, I AM LOST FOR WORDS , I AM NOT YELLING JUST SEEING BETTER, SORRY CAPPS, GOD BLESS ALL BE SAFE, THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT
Why you guys don't have a million subs??? Thanks for sharing your adventurous journey.
Absolutely insane skiing footage!
You are killing it with the photography absolutely stunning, the boat shots, what can i say she looks sleek ready to cross oceans 👌🏻✊🏻🏴
I am happy for you guys. What an exciting time. The North Pacific, Skiing, Sohvi With her PHD!!
These are good times. Take good care of yourselves.🤙🎉🧜🥳
These videos never disappoint. What beautiful scenery you captured. I'd love to see the northern lights in person again.
You are so right brilliant videos.
Love the story, filming and editing! Well done!
🎉Congratulations Sohvi on your doctorate. Glad it all went well. Juho love the Arctic sailing videos . Glad I can watch on land because I would probably be the sickest of all of you on the sea. 🤢Stay safe & enjoy Alaska & all its beauty. 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸
Congratulations Dr Sohvi and also to you Juho for awesome photography.
This was an awesome episode. The Northern Lights at sunrise was beautiful, and going skiing after the crossing was perfect…and joyous. You earned the Finnish after-ski. Sohvi!congrats on the successful reception of your thesis 🎉🎉😊.
Now …fingers and toes crossed for a triumphant defense.
You’ll do great. We’re all supporting you.
Thank you!
I really appreciate you guys. I been watching for almost 2 years and one day I willbe well off enough to help support you. I really appreciate
Lovely
Sohvi docking was awwsome
thank you! Sohvi says hi!
thank you! Sohvi says hi!
Thank you for taking me along on your adventure. What beautiful scenery.
Ok dude, I finally joined as a patron. Because of your well made videos, they take me to a place where I will never sail, because of the skiing and because of Dr. Sohvi. Keep having fun.
Incredible footage. You guys rule! Congratulations Dr. Sohvi!!
Wow, absolutely stunning views.
Thanks for taking us..🍻😎
Thank you. I watch each video 2 or 3 times while waiting for the next one. They are gorgeous, and the music choices are a perfect. This is a classic adventure that we can all follow along for the ride, and what a ride. BTW, my after-skiing drink is hot chocolate with a shot of peppermint Schnapps and a marshmallow. Decadent.
peppermint hot chocolate is our favorite as well!! didnt have it there thou :(
What an incredible video. I cannot believe you didn't put skiing in the title. It could be its own video. It was jaw dropping.. Amazing content!
Drones are a new safety feature for a yacht, look so useful in checking out channels and anchorages
What a well deserved privilege, motor sailing into the beautiful sunset with good company.
Salut.
Thank You for letting me ski on top of your helmut! Great video! Congratulations Dr. Sovhi!
Your great adventure in the north is just beginning. Safe travels . A beautiful sailboat. Excellent videography .
I've heard that the beer and banana combo will get you every time! Kudos on that massive climb before ski.
WOOOHOOOO! Congratulations Sohvi!!!!! Great skiing video as well. Keep up the great work everyone!
This is why I watch this channel. Great video!
Congratulations Dr. Sohvi! A really wonderful episode! Beautiful filming, sailing and skiing. I look forward to your further adventures!
i wish I could support you guys but as an old age pensioner and arm chair sailor living on my own boat I must also watch my pennies. Enjoy your journeying very much.
Your drone footage really makes your videos. You are a great photographer and sailor.
Sohvi docked the sailboat like a boss. 5 out of 5 I would say. Glad to see you have help now which lets you rest a little more while sailing and incase of any trouble. Stay safe and thank you for the video. Right now it is over 40 celsius in Texas where I live.
Dr. Sohvi PhD, Well done on getting your doctorate. All the hard work has finally paid off with you getting it. Your also a natural sailor and it appears that nothing will fraze you while your at sea.
Thank you so much for watching these beautiful imagery.I like your boat made in my country !
This is an amazing episode guys. I am so happy you finally got top ski directly from your S/V. Thanks so much.
Outstanding film making, not only sailing. You are the best!
Thank you for these videos.
Wonderful photography. I am happy to see your friend seems to be having an enjoyable experience. You mentioned avalanche. Hopefully you never run into that situation. Where you go help is nowhere around. All right, Stay safe. 😊
thanks so much Paul! and we'll be careful!
Don't worry Sovhi is a doctor now, she could take good care of him. ; )
@@prof.heinous191 PHD ? MD ? I believe PHD . Congratulations Sovhi ! When the sailing is finished she will be well equipped to move on . From following both of them from basically the start I wish them all the joy and happiness this life has to offer.
@@PaulSmith-pz9eq ; )
Just a brilliant episode, breathtaking. You must be really pleased with your endeavours indeed. Your are in your dreams. There is another couple out on their first boat on You tube I watch called Tula Tribe, their phrase to describe their journey
‘We’re bloody doing it!’
You are too.
Congratulations on the first mate getting her Ph.D
Watch out for bears.

Awe inspiring! Great skills. It is a privilege to be able to share in the amazing adventures that you are having.
I have watched sailing videos for the last 4 years, unfortunately I am not able to do this. I really enjoy seeing what everyone is getting to do. Yet? After all this time I was bored with some of the other ones I have subscribed to and came across your page. At first, I was very skeptical, however I soon found that I was very addicted to what you produce. First of all, I compliment you for your work, but the more I watch you I can appreciate your knowledge and expertise in sailing. Your choice of boat was superb. It never seems to have the difficulty as I see in the other groups I watch. If I were to ever want to have someone teach me, it would be you. I wish I could be a patron right now, just that like you I am in between jobs. I work in NDT/GD&T. Seems like there is a lot of it, just now the market is wanting more and more additional skills as we move into the future. I am thankful for all that you do and look forward to seeing the next video on the seat of my pants. All the best.
A. Spear Indianapolis
Wonderful scenery. Thank you
The path less traveled. Thanks for providing us with such beautiful content and reminding us all to get out there and enjoy it.
Marvelous film, great pictures as always. Thanks for going the extra mile to get to get those pictures, especially those drone shots even when the going gets tough. And many congratulations Doctor, now Juho doesn't have to worry about bursting his appendix on the high seas!
unfortunately Im not that kind of a doctor :D
You Finlanders are FREAKING NUTS !
Excellent!!! One of your best episodes! Glad it was long, didn't want it to end.
Episode on your drone routine details sometime?
not enough to sail through alaskan waters in the winter, they gotta ski up and down damn mountains. geez, the energy and balls.
I was in Fairbanks, Alaska, 1980 . Spent 9 years there after coming home from Vietnam. The Northern Lights brought me back to the wonderful things God had to offer wretched souls. Thank you for capturing thoses memories for me!❤😊
Such a fantastic adventure! Congratulations Dr. Sohvi fantastic accomplishment!!! One last thing both of you must have heard the saying when young... walk the path less traveled.. good for you!
Your videos are very addictive and enjoyable. . keep um coming
XO's not afraid to tell the skipper to focus. Excellent...
The banana caused the sea sickness, beer doesn’t.😂
27:34 Northern lights combined with sunrise! 😮
We stayed at Yakutat as we travelled down the Inside Passage on the MHS (Marine Highway System) Ferries. Loved the area. I have been hanging out for your next video and this video was fantastic great yacht, good sailing and superb skiing. Truly exceptional.
Dude you make the most peaceful videos 😎.
One of the most creative guys on CZcams.
Wow! What an unreal video friend, this is the dream!!! Epic sailing & skiing and awesome videography/editing. Congrats on making it across the Gulf you guys (and congrats Dr. Sohvi). Cheers!
I crossed the Gulf of Alaska at the end of June - on the Celebrity Millennium - a 965 foot long cruise ship. We went from Skagway to Seward. Alaska is beautiful. One thing the pictures can't indicate is how cool and clean the air is there. It's like brand new never used air!
you two are amazing, and your channell has grown so much!!!!
Congratulations Dr Sohvi. Wicked Northern lights Guys. What a welcome. And that Skiing! So envious. Good on ya. Kiaora.
kia ora David, and thank you!
@@AlluringArctic Your most Welcome man. You are an Insperation for me to get my Butt into gear and get our own Yacht ready for Sailing this Summer. Cheers.
Awesome video! Really well edited and entertaining! Great job.
thank you!
Good to see you. Beautiful how your boat makes her way through the water. She is such a good sailor (as are you). Congratulation, Sohvi on your good news.
Congratulation to the Dr, she deserves more that a shot of Vodka! Best video this year on YT with outstanding content and subliminal photography. Coke should support you too! Your both very fortunate and it's of your own doing. Love what you do. xx
⚓always stuning photography❤safe seas⛵
omg the footage from top of the mountain absolutely stunning thank you from nz
Another classic installment! Seeing the narrow channel to fetch water makes me wonder how often you raise the swingkeel. Must be tough.
Congratulations Sohvi. Well done, and definitely deserves a kiss from him!
great movie, great shots, especially from drone. That feeling to ski on the virgin snow... must be breathtaking.
Congrats for the adventure. Congrats PhD, doctor Sohvi .
you two murmuring back and forth in a highly stressfull docking situation...wow! ALSO YOU WHACKJOBS!❤
I know nothing about sailing or skiing but this is amazing, best thing I've seen on youtube
In the open water sailing part of the video, the background looks so amazing, it looks fake as if it were a painted background for a hollywood film in the 1960s! Nice work.
First of all,congratulations Doctor! Nothing like corn snow ,on a spring morning.Again congrats on your accomplishment.✌🏻
Thanks for the passage and the northern lights. So beautiful Alaska.
Congratulations Dr. Ms. Suhlvi. Wonderful videography. Really, really enjoying this trip with you. Thank you for taking us along.
Views are SPECTACULAR. Good winds.
When I was a deep sea diver, diving in the Gulf of Alaska, I spent a whole day in Yakutat AK waiting out very dense fog so we could fly out of there back to Anchorage. The Northern Lights that evening on the flight to Anchorage were spectacular.
This was one of my favourite videos that you have done. Amazing scenery and looks like the skiing was incredible.
I love to see some telemark skiing! And I also love boats and the west coast, so this was a great episode for me! 😃
Very nice vids 👌.. doing amazing..ive been watching right from the beginning an enjoying every bit of journey..... love that vessel...hope one day will see it down the next end of earth here in the Falklands islands 🇫🇰 an south Georgia an anitrica... stay safe pal enjoy darrell..
Beautiful views and lucky for the good weather
Amazing footage. I have never seen that part of the world, and really enjoy seeing you master it.
I sailed a 30 ft boat from Valdez to Seattle once. This brings back memories. I was broke down in Yakutat for two weeks. That was before GPS. We had radar to see at night and in fog. If you see the 75 ft long black tour boat LuLu Belle in Valdez say high to captain Fred. He is a good friend. Dale
Incredible. Sailing to go skiing. Wow
Well done..we love your drone shots of the yacht with amazing backdrops.
Thanks for all your hard work,
The skiing is insanely good :) Great job as always.
