When I started this channel and I said that it's never going to be popular because it's not the Caribbean so there won't be enough bikinis for clickbait... And there hasn't been too much of that, but I'm glad there's always the opportunity for skinny-dipping! ❄️❄️❄️ PS. A lot of you are watching my videos for the first time, thanks for watching and remember to subscribe if you want to see more sailing in the north! ❄️❄️❄️
So, what if one appreciate both the heavy cod-fishing in Scandinavian waters, and snorkeling with blacktipped sharks in the Caribbean, and all of that sailing in between? 🤔😆🙃
Its hundreds YTs from the tropics.... and also some from these waters - you have Sailing Uma that are sailing there as we speak in the winter - also hight quality but different. It was MJ Sailing - they was too fast... but interesting catamaran building now.... But this is really the best so far...
It is the people that make the difference. No big show, just two very natural und sympathetic individuals, excellent footage from an area not often visited and something to dream of. You deserve success.
the two of you are refreshing in this world. no whining, opining or self entitlement bs, just living and enjoying the peace, the quiet, love it. coming to you from the sunny caribbean. cheers
Hello Juho and Sohvi! So good to see another one of your videos from last summer. The puffins are so adorable and the video is spectacular as always. Kind of special to see Sohvi actually filming and narrating the portion of the adventure at the light house - Thank you - it is great hearing your lovely voice. Looking forward to seeing the content from you both from this year which includes that awesome kite skiing camping trip you and your friends took in Finland. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Wow! This is so much Norway! Happy you made it to Sklinna, I haven't been there yet but many times on Leka, between Sklinna and mainland. I'm very appreciative you saved the drone flying and didn't interfere with the birds in the wildlife sanctuary. It is indeed a very special place!
63 years old french and rather newbie sailor... But always loved Norway since the age of 6 when I was given a little book of a norwegian fisherman's child who got carried away by a big fish on his line, and landed on Father Christmas island. Dreams are made for dreaming, but they colour our lives. Thank you for sharing the beautiful experiences you live in thgis beautiful part of the world.
I was in Vaasa for Finnish Independance day and we had rented out a cabin by the gulf of bothnia for it. All us guys were in the sauna waiting for it heat up drinking vodka whilst it is minus 15 out side. The girls are in the cabin getting pissed whilst us lads are in the sauna waiting for it warm up drinking. Eventually the sauna was 90C when we left it naked running getting cheered by all the women running in the snow to the sea which was frozen except where it lapped against the shore where it couldn't freeze because of constant lapping against the shore, Jumped in the gap into the water, massive shock to the system, imediately jumped out, whole nervous system reset. It was amazimng. Dried off and got changed. Outside the cabin smoking cigarettes in minus 15 in a tee-shirt just absolutely radiant not cold at all. I wouldn't do that now at 47. But thanks for reminding me of that experience. Kiitoksia paljon. I am half Finnish but lived all my life in London.
hello richard, what a great story! 😆 despite my lacklustre swimming performance in this video, i've done the same as well (swimming in icy water), very refreshing (as soon as you get over the "i'm going to die" feeling) and said to be good for your health..
@@AlluringArctic yes. I definitely notice your music selection in all your videos. Your thought and choice there is appreciated. It makes a big difference too. Well done.
Two young people enjoying their world, and what a beautiful venue it is. Some day I dream to visit Norway, the homeland of my skiing hero, Herman "Jackrabbit" Johannsen. You very much exude the spirit of this great man, and I enjoy your vids very much. Greetings from Ottawa, Canada.
@@AlluringArctic Presumptuous (considering my abilities in the skiing department), LOL, but hey, we must perpetuate the memory of those whom we seek to emulate. I have named all my small camp-cruising sailboats after him - kind of like Eric Tabarly and his "Pen Duick". But that is another presumption...
Hello Juho! Hello Sohvi! An another good footage, thank you!!! I am a great fan of your way of sailing and Norway is definitely on my wish list for sailing adventures!
this was a great video that shows the quiet magic of sailing to these outer islands that you can find all around the Scandinavia Peninsula, including the one in the Gulf of Bothnia, or the north end of the West coast of Sweden. Because of the absence of people, even in the summer, you get to see places nobody else goes to, and you can anchor anywhere, making it magical at night when the sky remains dimly lit with the midnight sun. Juho, sorry to tell you but we need more comments from Sohvi, pls;-) great video...
they are cute, and to be honest I did not know that you can find them so far south on the Norwegian coast (before this we had only seen them far above the Arctic Circle)
just found your channel today..just wow..so refreshing to see a completely different kind of sailing and adventure destinations..much respect from literally as far south as you can get from you down here in new zealand..p.s.....love the new boat.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! YOU BOTH HAVE A WONDERFUL PRESENCE AND IT'S SO RARE THESE DAYS TO WATCH PEOPLE JUST BE? WE REALLY MESSED UP WHEN WE STEPPED OUT OF NATURE! HUMANITY IS SO LOST?
Thanks for sharing this part of the world, I hope to visit one day but if I can't then you've given me a glimpse, much appreciated. Also thanks for speaking English, lazy of me not to learn your language but a bit hard to practice in this part of the world.
hi, i also saw your other comment about Newfoundland, I've seen photos and maps and it looks beautiful, would really like to sail there some time as well!
@@AlluringArctic It's stunning indeed. Lots of history. Lots of great places that are accessible only by boat. And you can experience all four seasons in one day!
The Norwegian tourism board should be sponsoring you guys. Between you and Sailing Uma I am completely sold on doing a boating trip in Norway sometime in the future. Though I'm not enough of a hard ass to be going skinny dipping in ten degree water, I'll leave that to the young lady thank you very much.
I wish they did, but I think they mostly trust the scenery to sell itself! one thing i'll have to tell you though, skinny dipping is an obligatory part of sailing here, so get ready for that as well 😉
I want to swim in that archipelago where the water is so clear over the sand and rocky bottom. How about including some underwater video? I'm curious about what lives down there. Are there seals, abalone? I love how serene this is.
Just fantastic! - your vids are really good! You manage to find some spots that are amazing and get the right fotage. Perfect sound track - and calm voice. Looking forward to go up the coast to the north soon... But why not swim? To dive into that cold clear salty water is just like being newborn... right from the bed into the ocean in the morning...
Wow, I just found you and will be catching up now from the beginning, during the next day or two. Nice work on the videos and very interesting content :) Greetings from a Swede on the Monterey Bay (California), where I am myself learning to sail this year. BTW, I myself tend to draw the line for swimming at around 16C.
hey Lars! Yeah i'd call +16 pretty comfy already! :) great to hear you liked the video, personally I'm most fond of the winter videos, have fun watching!
@@AlluringArctic Yes indeed, I had already begun last night, and am now at ep.5. This Norway Winter business is really something. Spectacular, amazing landscape, and I can see that the skiing part is not for the inexperienced! Until now, I had figured that this time of year everyone just took their boats out until it warms up again. Thank you for sharing all this.
hi Mike! Warm by our standards in this video, around +10 to +15 C? Yes we fish a lot, check some of my other videos. When the season is on it is very easy to catch fish: ua-cam.com/video/o_PMR4wKM9g/v-deo.html
hi christoffer! old camera actually, but maybe I just learned to use it? in all honesty it's just a panasonic g80 with the kit lens, in total worth maybe 300 eur. the drone footage is on a new drone (funded to my patrons, huge thanks)
Great video and amazing views of the symetrical spinnaker flying. More birds than humans in those islands i think! Which time of year it was filmed, looks like Spring ?
it is between 15-25 meters deep in the middle of the basin, and the whole thing is around 200 meters wide, so you can anchor quite OK at least in good weather. In rough weather I'd like to have a bit more room or a bit less depth! :)

The beauty of Norway and its people is much more alluring than the tropics.

This is the greatest channel on youtube. You two have such a passion for life. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
thanks a lot Ben!
Danke!
So lucky to be there with that weather. Beautiful places, beautifully filmed. Thanks for another great upload.
Simply looking at a globe or map one would not know these treasure islands exist! Thank you.🤠
So brave having a swim there!!
Love seeing the island dwellings, must be so quiet. Thanks
thanks frances!
Thanks again for so generously sharing your warmth and beauty - including your surroundings!
thanks for watching !
I like the lighthouses very much, so this episode is special to me. Thank you.

We love your show.look forward to new episodes.
That was so pretty I had to watch it again thank you⚓️❤️
Wow, this was a nicely done real life video. I had no expectations and I fully enjoyed your sharing this with us.
thank you michael, glad you enjoyed it!
beautiful music and scenery...thanks for the wonderful video!
thanks steven!
Sovie, you bring extra joy to this wonderful vlog! Sovie is the worlds toughest Finnish!
Wow, Sohvi is a keeper for sure! Take care you both!
Beautiful; I love the puffins.
yep, such funny little birds!
Thank you for another interesting video of the world where few sailors go. The puffins are so cute - just like the ones in New Foundland. Fair winds.
they are cute, and to be honest I did not know that you can find them so far south on the Norwegian coast (before this we had only seen them far above the Arctic Circle)
Such gorgeous, austere panoramas!
Fabulous views. Loved the sunset as well.
Puffins are amazing. What a privilege. Thankyou for sailing to remote places. Wonderful
Lovely video and excellent choice of soothing music. A big thank you.
Love the symmetrical spinnaker ♥️🙌🏻. I don’t see them as much anymore
got used to flying those while match racing! we take it out whenever we know we can do several hours on the same tack...
I love the Puffins, and those cute little houses are adorable!
Really beautiful footage and music. Perfectly captures the mood of the place.
thank you mike! :) Trying my best!
just found your channel today..just wow..so refreshing to see a completely different kind of sailing and adventure destinations..much respect from literally as far south as you can get from you down here in new zealand..p.s.....love the new boat.
It's refreshing to see the " cooler side" of sailing.
... like Drake Paragon 🥶
That's absolutely beautiful sailing up there!
Awesome photos... beautiful .. thanks for the look 🇺🇸
Great photos, I love the remoteness of your journeys.
thank you!
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! YOU BOTH HAVE A WONDERFUL PRESENCE AND IT'S SO RARE THESE DAYS TO WATCH PEOPLE JUST BE? WE REALLY MESSED UP WHEN WE STEPPED OUT OF NATURE! HUMANITY IS SO LOST?
Excellent video again. You really are able to catch the feeling of sailing. Loistavaa
kiitti jukka!
“... so WE ARE ROWING...” hahahahaha :)
Nice video as usual
😁
Very beautiful thanks so much for making the video
very nice of you, thanks for watching!
I really enjoy your videos, fascinating and so different from where I’m from, 🇿🇦 (South Africa), enjoy and thanks for sharing
Superb filming 🎥 👌
Beautiful work Juho. Just love it.
Beautiful video as always. Thank you. I can’t wait until my wife and I are able to sail north. We are stuck sailing in Mountain lakes right now.
one day you will, all of us are stuck somewhere right now... 😀 hehe
Yeah you guys are back
I was starting to wonder if I would ever see another one of your videos
we're trying, we're trying! :D thanks for watching michael, will release the next video a bit quicker!
Wow so beautiful view
Thanks for sharing this part of the world, I hope to visit one day but if I can't then you've given me a glimpse, much appreciated. Also thanks for speaking English, lazy of me not to learn your language but a bit hard to practice in this part of the world.
9:12 Always amazes me how identical Norway is to Newfoundland. (Good blueberry picking on those hills, btw, I can tell.)

@@AlluringArctic It's stunning indeed. Lots of history. Lots of great places that are accessible only by boat. And you can experience all four seasons in one day!
Eons ago, these areas (Norway, Ireland, Scotland, NF) were all part of the same landmass. I learned this at a great museum in St. John's.
@@comsunjava At the Johnson Geo Centre?
Love seeing the bird life close up on the island
Wow what an amazing looking set of places!
they were, the islands are beautiful!
I hope you will post soon! I’m all caught up! Looking forward to future videos. 😀

Very much enjoyed this video, well done!
Beautiful footage, thanks
thanks for watching dave!
Great vid and colorful pic's. Will remain!
When you have your spinnaker out it reminds me of a Baylen whale when it’s feeding.
Thank you.

yep, we should do more underwater video indeed..! There's plenty of seals, especially further north! they're quite shy though :)

great stuff nice to see people sailing in other countries
thank you dean!
Stunning! Thank you.
thanks dave and thank you for watching!
Astounding video, bravo!
glad you enjoyed it! thanks!
Love the content; subbed! Can't wait to see your adventures with the new boat :)
Looks more interesting than being the 456,234th boat in Turks and Caicos today 😁
Looking forward to my new life at sea, only 3 weeks and 3 days to wait and the adventure begins for real. Sklinna looks good 😁
nice, have fun out there! :)
wonderful wonderful life !
Nice video and the music too. Congratulations!
Amazing islands - like exploring the west coast of Scotland 🏴 but a more stark environment. - must head back to Norway 🇳🇴 sometime!
I love it, wonderfull, good luck...
Thank you so much for the grand tour, it was just gorgeous!
glad you liked it nena, thanks for watching!
I hope you visit the island od Støtt one day. Purely because the spelling is similar to my last name.
❤😂
Great photography also
thanks a lot paul! and thanks for watching!
Posting a video today ~65 km from Sailing Uma.
Puffins are so cute! 🙂
Very nice, thanks
What is the outdoor temperature on? I see you in a small layered coat and stocking cap. Do you try and fish at all for your meals?
hi Mike! Warm by our standards in this video, around +10 to +15 C? Yes we fish a lot, check some of my other videos. When the season is on it is very easy to catch fish: ua-cam.com/video/o_PMR4wKM9g/v-deo.html
I always wonder where the freshwater comes from on these rocky islands.
In the later years there were wells (very deep ones), but they often get contaminated by sea water (and sometimes also by bird poop etc)
Your channel is great!
glad you enjoy it, thanks!
Sohvi should start selling Norwegian knitwear. I love her jumpers.
we just got some new handmade ones... not with matching colours though 😆
Magic as usall!:) Great quality on the videoquality. New camera?:)
hi christoffer! old camera actually, but maybe I just learned to use it? in all honesty it's just a panasonic g80 with the kit lens, in total worth maybe 300 eur. the drone footage is on a new drone (funded to my patrons, huge thanks)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yeow! Imagine traversing the Vikna maze without GPS and computer maps?!
Why where you dragging the tender behind the boat? Wouldn't that create drag?
Mahtavaa!
Great video and amazing views of the symetrical spinnaker flying.
More birds than humans in those islands i think! Which time of year it was filmed, looks like Spring ?
sorry, forgot to put the date on this one. Filmed in July/August 2020. (yeah I promise to get more real-time soon😉)
@@AlluringArctic thank you very much !
Just wow
wow .. what country is that in cool the boat the sea is also cool
Thank you
Hi Juho, In Sklinna, if the 3 mooring balls are taken, are you able to anchor or is it too deep?
it is between 15-25 meters deep in the middle of the basin, and the whole thing is around 200 meters wide, so you can anchor quite OK at least in good weather. In rough weather I'd like to have a bit more room or a bit less depth! :)
So cooled♥️
