Alluring Arctic Sailing Archive – Page 2

Hey everyone! Sooo after our little mishap (previous video) we got a bit stuck in the Faroe Islands...

In the end, we disconnected the driveshafts and pulled the transmission(s) out a total of 5 times... Plus all the other stuff 🤣

Boat finally fixed. That was a pain... Sailing to Iceland now!

After arriving in Iceland we quickly get acquainted with some of the things that this country is famous for... hot springs and high winds ;)

It's getting frosty aboard Arktika! We get to experience the first real winter storm in Iceland...

Thanks for all your support in 2021, let's continue in 2022! :)

Hey all! We're now sailing the northern coast of Iceland, enjoying the winter ❄️⛵️!

This week we had one of the winter storms blow by, high winds and plenty of snow!

I felt like I owe it to my viewers and patrons to tell a little bit about how much money is coming in with your help. So here it is.

this is the obstacle course we're currently experiencing!

Deck tour of Arktika! It's getting wintery here!

The boat tour is finally here! This is the interior tour of Arktika. Welcome aboard!

Here's some stuff that we're often up to when the boat is stuck in the harbour.

You know that feeling when the boat is slowly sinking?

We sail to Westfjords for some SKIING and reveal a bit about our next (own) boat! We finally found a suitable boat, and it's going to be great!

This time we delve into sailing clothes... This is one of my most requested videos and after a few years up in the north I hope I have something useful to share.

This is our new boat. A great boatyard find or not? You decide!

We begin the refit with THE most satisfying boat work ever.

So yes we did find a bit of rotten plywood and fiberglass, but the important question is, is the hull underneath OK?

The Mast Disaster (GIANT Boat Refit)

Here's a fairly technical video on the diesel day tank system that we're installing! A nice system that I'm fond of.

We've spent way too much money on this refit!

Last video of the big refit series!

First sailing with the new boat towards the north. 5 days, 700 nm sailing Pacific Ocean.

Crossing the World's Most Dangerous Columbia River Bar. Sailing towards north.

Sailing to Canadian waters. Passing the Vancouver Island. Pacific northwest sailing. Big logs in the water.

Installing and testing car heater to work with diesel engine on aluminium sailboat sailing north.

I prefer to back into unknown harbours if possible! At least then I know I can always get out if needed...

This one was nice and peaceful I think, now we're starting to get away from the bigger towns and into the ACTUAL good stuff!

In this episode, Juho refers to a website/video offering instructions on drilling out and replacing the proprietary connector of the Starlink dish. He also discusses dealing with the frustrations of Starlink customer service.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! 😉

We're continuing in the Inside Passage to Alaska, this time it's the infamous Johnstone Strait... in winter of course!

We're sailing the Inside Passage to Alaska in winter, this time rounding Cape Caution and finding a few snug anchorages!

Yes we wash ourselves regularly and yes I do wash my hair!

Sailing the Inside Passage to Alaska!
