Only available until the end of 2023, starting at $99/92€, these prints ship worldwide (free shipping for 2 or more). Printed directly on the aluminum surface, these look aaaa-mazing! I promise!
your prints are beautiful.
i would think a series of 'movies' that capture your adventure in segments, would make great perpetual viewing...in addition to the vlog to vlog viewing of those following your output.
you movies should get millions of views i think, over time.
coffee coasters with your prints?
You two are awesome! Thank you for helping them!
Thanks for the video's. Well done on assisting the stranded party. Why have you situated the racor filters just below the deck head behind you ?
*Great use of drone. How far from home were the stranded? Local Fisherman or ?*
Also, former Coastie here: You two made it perfectly easy for the rotor heads to do their job. Really all a rescuer could ask for. Good job!
Thank you for your service❤
Thank you for standing by and communicating with the coast Guard!. In the best traditions of mariners everywhere!
*_ Great help that they did but those guys stranded made a Fatal mistake being on an open boat WITHOUT a WATERPROOF RADIO..... crazy, and for a few bucks extra they should have bought that option. _*
not just a great tradition, but part of the law of the sea. well done.
Note to myself. When going ashore keep the VHF in a watertight container. Take at least one flare. Wait for a Finn to sail by.
I think you did everything right. No reason to risk anything. Let the professionals handle it.
Agreed. Great decision making.
Sophia & Juho: Amazing, I've commercially fished the Alaska coast, ran commercial oil tankers with ARCO Marine to Valdez and did a 10 year stint in our US Coast Guard Rescue at Sea Division as a Commissioned Officer. It's my honor to view this truly remarkable episode and believe you both should receive a Metal of Honor for this dedication. Love the prints!
I was part of a sailing crew who found similarly stranded boaters. The wave break was huge (12-14'). We floated a VHF radio in a water-tight bag attached to a life preserver and a long thin floating line to them using the wave action. The boaters had already spent a cold night ashore and really wanted to leave. Despite having a 12-person RIB with a 40 HP outboard, we also didn't want to risk a capsize. Using the long thin float line the shore party pulled to them a strong line with PFDs attached that was played out from the RIB. In groups of three holding onto the strong line with the PFDs knotted along it, the crew on the RIB pulled and then powered the boaters through the water quickly past the wave break. This worked amazingly well. By the time each boater was retrieved onto the RIB, the 67' sailboat was long side to take them. You can imagine a soaked, shivering cold boater being helped and welcomed aboard by dry towels, and new dry clothing while now standing in the main salon with its wood fire roaring to receive a bowl of warm soup. We recovered 10 people.
A tricky operation. Shows how a vareity of long lines and equipement is important to carry.
In my opinion, you made the absolute best decisions available to you. As a fellow sailor, you have my admiration and appreciation.
You using the drone just made up for the drones you lost. It goes to show that these drones can be extremely useful. Thank you for helping those stranded people. I cannot imagine someone not helping people in such a situation. Thanks is not enough. You guys are my Heroes. Well done.
so true. and in fact, i'd go a step further and say there must be some best practices someone can put together for how to leverage the utilities of consumer drones like this one to benefit public safety in emergency situations. With so many drones deployed with people in remote places like this, it would be great if every lay drone operator were prepared with necessary tools and skills to aid in emergency response. kind of like emergency first aid training but for drones instead of first aid. perhaps encourage adoption of said skills and tools through national agencies regulating use of uavs.
Yes indeed. Excellent example. What drone do they/you use in this rescue?
As a fellow sailor, I want to say I believe firmly that you did all the right things and it's good to see there are people like you out there. It's unfortunate that others may have seen the group and not done anything.
This is so typical of some other Mariners, let someone else deal with the problem. It's a pity we don't know who those boats were who decided to ignore those poor guys on the beach . Thank you for your excellent behavior.
that was a wonderful edit of a fine act of seamanship that i find very rare today.
you both did yourselves and your cultures proud for your actions.
i find your channel among the only ones worth following...and your adventurous spirit unmatched!
cheers to you!!
There is nothing stronger than the respect a mariner has for his fellow sailor. What a great display of care, concern and respect. You guys are really hero’s. If this was in the city and a driver saw another driver in trouble, they would drive right by. I was in that situation and people drove by as I stood there with my head bleeding. Love that you guys care.
I think this is a city people phenomenon. I grew up in the countryside where everyone stops to help everyone and when I went to the city and saw people sleeping on the street my first reaction was to go over to them and ask if they were all right, but city folks just looked at me like I was mad. Other times if someone was sitting on a bus stop crying their eyes out or someone were screaming and shouting on the streets people would just pretend they didn't notice it to the extent that I wondered if I was the only one who was hearing it.
Great job, as a first responder I can't think of anything you could of done better. I wouldn't of tried landing on the beach either.
Can you imagine their relief at seeing a boat standing by and receiving that message by drone. You guys did great. How could anyone pass by and not contact the coast guard - sometimes I despair of people!
I have been commercial fishing that area for years and it always amazes me on how many boaters are so unprepared for this part of alaska. Its pretty scary how most people dont realize if they can stranded 15 miles from a town, it could take weeks to walk back if thats even possible to walk back. I seen some pretty unprepared people out there. I try to let people know if they look totally unknowingly in danger. Most times people dont even look at the weather or have anything to spend the night away from the dock. They just think if the weather at the dock is ok it should be great 20 mins away. Its crazy to think how many peope think a small 1st aid kit and a life jacket it all they need for alaska boating at sea. I guess no matter how prepared you try to be theres a really good chance you will not have the one small thing you wished you had to make it home. Good job sticking around I am sure they appreciated it
Oh no! It's amazing you were able to help. Great job, Coast Guard and Lumi!
Olette Suomi ylpeitä! Kiitos, että teet sen, mitä kaikkien hyvin koulutettujen ja kunnioittavien merenkulkijoiden tulee tehdä🇫🇮❤️
Thank you so much for stopping and checking! It gives me chills to see humans helping humans! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
You're a goddamn hero Juho. Took all the responsible measures, and stayed till the end. I applaud your helpfulness!
You are absolutely correct in not taking the dingy out. If you are not certain you will be safe, it is best to wait for better help so they don't have more people to rescue or worse. It just goes to show the danger of the sea. It may be an adventure, but their are always risks.
Juho handled this situation perfectly! This is a great example to follow. :)
If it's true what you once said, Juho, that you're better at skiing than sailing, you must be a damn professional skier!❤
Good job!! You handled that situation perfectly! You made sure they where ok and did not risk your own safety and where cool and clear in your communications with rescue. I say you are a good example of Finnish SISU!!! All the best to you from this Swedish viewer!
You did the correct thing and was wise not to attempt to land on the beach. Taking your own dinghy to make a beach Landing would solve nothing. Using the Drone with a note attached was the best thing you could do in order to let them know the Coast Guard is on the way and ask if there are any injuries. Thanks to you, they got airlifted off the beach and didn't have to spend a cold and possibly dangerous night on the beach. Thanks for everything you did
Thanks for your concerns for fellow travellers and adventurers, and thanks for reminding us to ALWAYS check out the situation when there is the slightest indication that they may need help. Also, when on water outings I always protect handheld comm equipment in waterproof containers or bags
The world would be a better place, if there were more souls like you two!
Great job with the assistance. I have worked many cases like this over the years. Very nice having professional help like yours.
Also,
THIS IS SOO MUCH BETTER CONTENT THAN TV EVER WAS!!!
👏 BRAVO 👏
Your willingness to standby and use your own assets to aid the rescue, is a testament to your seamanship. Well done, Sir.
Drones are a game changer. The information you can use to asses your situation is well worth the cost of the unit.
i find a waterproof, floating vhf...and some flares, are the very things that make a difference when the moment comes. i would never be at sea, in a small outboard vessel, without both.
or any vessel for that matter.
i keep a handheld vhf in my backpack!!
In remote areas, I consider a personal locator beacon should be added to your excellent list, as a minimum.
Here in Alaska, I never go to a remote beach from my sailboat without a small dry bag with a waterproof VHF with DSC, a small air horn, a water filtration bottle, and my inReach communicator which is also waterproof. Usually we’ll also pack some food and water bottles if we’re doing a day hike, and bear spray. After 33 years of boating here, it’s always the locals who get complacent…
You are so right I have been on a boat that capsized so we lost everything only a couple of miles off shore and a small dinghy must seen us and hey eventually sent flares up - So the lesson you were rightly talking about is don’t think that someone else will contact the coast guard you do it as well
Wonderful human response to fellow mariners in danger. Bravo ! Unbelievable that those other boats would decide not to lend a hand when they clearly could see that a boat was shipwrecked and survivors were stranded on the shore. Little did they know that someone else could hear their radio conversation.For those other "sailors" to not seek to help their fellow man that is unforgivable in my opinion.
To us it appears to be unforgivable but it is a well documented human behaviour and falls under the Diffusion of responsibility, Bystander effect scenario. Read the case of Kitty Genovese for a tragic example.
Well done. Also, I'm so glad that drones for photographic enjoyment can be so useful to helping others in need.
One other take away (for you and for anyone making decisions in a heat-of-the-moment safety scenario) is to take extra care of protecting your own handheld communication devices and other safety equipment (radio, binoculars, etc) ... using lanyards while conducting sailing maneuvers ... rather than placing something on the cabin top where it could easily be bumped and roll overboard ... which would suddenly make the whole adventure more complicated as you'd have accidentally lost some of your own safety equipment. Thanks for the great video - all's well that ends well! :) Lee
Lumi (correct spelling?)crew you are really qualified mariners, and you deserve HUGE CONGRATULATIONS, for doing everything right, for your safety, and the people on the beach.
After taking commercial marine rescue courses myself, the key in my opinion was both of you being so calm and analytical before acting.
I think this calmness is part of your natural Finnish personalities.
I was a watchman on a freighter in the 1960's with a Finnish 3rd mate.
Sid was unflappable.
Thank you for NOT advertising Atlantic greens, VPN‘s and so forth. Your marketing is excellent, keep it Lumi style!
As a US Coast Guard veteran, thank you for your help
You handled that situation very professionally, I believe. You could not do more without putting yourself in danger, and any aid you could render was negligible compared to what the Coast Guard could do. If you had not been able to reach the Coast Guard, that would be a different matter. It is good to see you together with Sohvee again. Are you still planning on sailing the Arctic Ocean to Greenland? That will be quite an adventure.
Oh Wow !!! So proud of you two !! You probably have saved their lives 😊
You are so beautiful‼️❤️ Here is a neat FYI. Found out with that terrible disaster with the Titan submersible, that the Coast Guard does not charge for rescues at sea. That’s nice to know for anybody who needs them in the future.
Americans pay the bill. :)
👍🏼 it is GOOD to know loving ❤ caring people still exists . 💟💟
Helping those people, not assuming "they're aright, no problem" was a great step, and I'm proud with you!
Not taking action? Despicable!
You are awesome, bro. Next level skills.
A great learning experience! Thanks!!
What a noble and ethical thing you did. More than anything else you showed humanity.
The U.S. coast guard is highly capable. The Alaska Coast Gaurd in particular consists of some of the most experienced and proven maritime rescuers on planet Earth.
I’ll add to the chorus of those commending you for your actions and that you guys made prudent decisions informed by events on the ground and with every intent of remaining useful and out of harms way. I also want to commend you for taking a moment to review “lessons learned”, which ought to be standard practice for anyone thrust into an off-normal situation. Well done!
Thank you for assisting the shipwrecked mariners. As a small token, I have just purchased one of your Al prints. --mitchell, SV Little Wing, Los Angeles / Marina Del Rey California
How incredibly lucky they are with you are at the area!
Thanks!
Always a good feeling to help someone in need. It doesn't sound like they were carrying a portable satellite communicator (maybe they were). I think anyone that is traveling far from help in areas with no cell service should have one. They aren't outrageously expensive ($400-ish + $35/month for the service), and hopefully will be a waste of money (because you never need help)...but if you need it, it's worth a lot more than $400.
Rules for the mariners, you render what aid you can. Nicely done!
Oh, and if those other vessels returned to port without doing so, they should be ashamed of themselves!
They violated international law by not rendering.aid!!!
It is a miracle that in such a remote part of the world you came across them and could render assistance👍 and yes we should all check all is ok with others and seems irresponsible that others (who should know better being in that part of the world ) carried on past without a backward glance. I don't think I would want to spend a night on that beach , the dangers of hypothermia are quite obvious.
Well done, to take the time, to check out and help that stranded people 😁, here from South Africa, good luck
Wow, that made fantastic content! I was glued to the screen. Your efforts were heroic. ❤
Good job you guy's. It always pays forward. You are building good karma😊
Exciting rescue!
You did a great job! It says alot about the kind of people you are, Heros are always doing the right thing at the right time.
Bless you guys. I could only hope that if me and or my family was stranded, someone like you two would come along.
Good seamanship! So many rescue attempts fall in the same pit as the people in trouble. Nice creative use of the drone!
Well done👍
Amazing you did the honorable thing for those people, everyone land or sea should do the same for someone in need. Thank you for setting an example and not adding to the problem and thinking things through. The use of the drone was the best and safest idea for all involved. ♥much love♥
I once noticed an oddly-shaped, brightly colored floating object in the distance. Changed course to go investigate, and found that it was a kite surfer who had gotten himself in trouble. The winds that day were 20-25 knots, but the windward shoreline meant there was very little wave action - lots of power boats out that day, and I had watched two or three boats go right by the guy. When we got there I simply asked if he was alright and got a very quick "help". To shorten the story, I wasn't able to help myself but stuck nearby and flagged someone down who could. My point is just to keep an eye out, distress on the water rarely makes a big show to the outside observer but it goes bad quickly.
I love it when you guys speak Finnish, beautiful sounding language. Great video and learning experience, well done. Gonna check out your prints now. Thanks for the video!
Good Job done-well-SOLAS code all the way. Purjehdi turvallisesti, purjehdi kauas
Great job guys! Good Karma coming your way! You did the right thing and followed through until being sure everyone was safe and in good shape without risk for your own safety. Very professional response to a possible dangerous situation. You have a good heart. All's well that ends well. Stay the course!
Breathtaking! Outstanding! High Drama! Great job with this video! I'm a long-time viewer of your - usually calm and photogenetic - you tubes, but this one "takes the cake". You guys are hero's!
lol. Medal for Valor material for sure. You should submit thier heroic story and and help nominate them for this award they most certainly deserve. Don't forget to include the part about skipping their normal anchorage to eat noodles out of a cup while they were waiting for the helicopter to show up.
Working late and uploading? Nice to see this footage. Greetings from Holland.
Excellent. Good drone use.
You and Sohvi are a good team!
You are a must, for Captain! Drones are always cheaper than humans. I think the followers will help you out with the drones. You are amazing and your Contin is unbelievable!!
Y’all rock 🤙🇺🇸✌️⛵️🍄😁
Lived and worked in Alaska for over 20 years. All the way from the panhandle up to the North Slope. Alaskans DO stick together and help because everyone counts on each other. Anyone sees someone needing help and not trying to help is held in very low regard. Good job and thanks for being a true mariner.
Well done guys
I think you guys handled that situation perfectly given the circumstances. Did not put anyone else at risk, got the help necessary, checked with the party for any emergency scenarios that could require different action, then waited for them to be picked up. very nicely done.
Also just want to point out that you had little to no information on why they got stranded, even if the sea was calm you have absolutely no reason to suspect that it is safe to approach with your dingy, because theirs was taken out the best course of action is to use the only data point that you have which is that it is not a safe approach via dingy. Could be underwater stuff going on that makes a boat approach unsafe and you would never know without more info such as communication with them. It would also make a relatively safe situation extremely bad to approach with your dingy then get swamped and wet if nothing more serious, now you are in danger of freezing and have only 1 person on the sailboat now, etc. This is my logic anyways. again, very well handled IMO.
Agreed, good analysis!
And not to say you would have had to beach your dinghy 3 times in order to take off the three people. You definately made the right decision to call and wait for help.
Hat off to you, thumbs down to those who ignored those in trouble
That was such a professional rescue. Respect to all involved.
That's "SISU"!! Well done! Greetings from Sweden. //PO
You both are good maritime citizens and those people were lucky that you found them...
very very well done!
Good job, guys. You stood by, and could have possibly attempted a dinghy landing if it came to that. The Coast Guard has the equipment, personnel, and training, and was there in an hour. Your on-scene presence and coordination greatly assisted the successful rescue.
You did exactly the right thing. Drones are great. Tour operators are always doing scummy stuff like that they want the place to themselves.
Respect you both for taking action, making thoughtful decisions, and not putting yourself in needless danger - making yourself available - until the heli arrived. What a brilliant idea to use the drone the way you did. On another note - a marketing note - I received my print and am so impressed with the quality, how easy it is to hang, and how fine it looks on the wall. The parcel arrived quickly and was so light - hence low shipping fees. Well done, team! I now have an Alaskan sunset to complement my subtle Africa-theme decor. LOL.
Well done Captain. Thank you for Sharing.
brilliant idea the drone is a magical tool, congratulations
Bravo..true mariner and a cool head. First rule of rescue; dont become a casualty.
Well done 🙂
Sending that note was such a brilliant move. Way to go, buddy.
Character & integrity is what happens when no one is watching. What upsets me as a life long Alaskan is that I’ve not really experienced a situation where one wasn’t willing to help another when in distress…apparently times are changing even in the last frontier…I never doubted your character or integrity & God bless you for doing what was right & helping another human in distress! You are one more link in a chain that is slowly restoring my faith in humanity!
amazing~ That drone , and how your responce was everything marine law requires
You are a wonderful person, I enjoy following you and your incredible content 🎉🎉🎉
What came through this video is how important love for your fellow man is...and doing the right thing. The saddest thing is the fact that people who could have helped, didn't. And it's cold! Well done.
It's so heart-warming and educational at the same time.
Bravo to you guys. I can't immediately think of anything more you could have done given the circumstances, but I too would like to hear if others have suggestions.
hat off to you, thumbs down to those who did not help
Well done SV Lumi, very clever use of the drone 👍
You did everything right; well done!
You both are awesome. I love the adventure your on. A true adventure. Thank you for being such a good Samaritan. You very well saved their life. Great job both of you.
Great use of the drone!! Brilliant.
Greetings Juho and Sohvi! I've been watching your channel for a long time now. I enjoy watching your adventures, but today I'm so proud of both of you! You're heros! What a great job you did getting those people back to safety! I hope you get some kind of award from the Coast Guard and/or the State of Alaska! As an American addressing Finnish folks let me thank you!
