I just realised that the last segment about me getting fired and quitting from my translation work (at least for now) might have sounded a bit gloomy, but I didn't mean it like that! I think it has been a good change for me and I can always try and get new translation clients if I want to. But right now I want to delve deeper into this video thing! And that wouldn't be possible without all of you watching these videos, so thank you!

Sorry to hear your news about your work, I have sent you a small gift. I love the videos very many thanks. I am 80 years old and have terminal cancer, but you videos take my mind off my problems and make me happy, thank you and every best wish for the future from the UK.

the termination notice is a blessing in disguise! recently stumbled upon your channel and boy am I hooked! and another skill you didn't mention is that you're incredible at fixing things. keep doing this KZfaq thing, it seems to be going great)

I’ve watched your videos for years now and will say you take thousands of people to places we will never see and things we will never be able to do. That’s something quite valuable at least to me. I will try to support you guys whenever I can. Hope everyone else will too. Thank you for you work and keep it up !!

I am a sailor and watch a number of channels but yours is very unique. Keep up the good work and I am confident that it will work out well

Your videography is incredible, and you're sailing in place no one else is covering. The scenery is stunning and the sailing challenging. I'm sure you'll survive without the translation job.

Most other sailing videos are around 15-20 minutes and that is about my attention span as they are pretty repetitive, most are based in the Bahamas, your videos are amazing, 43 minutes of documentary style editing, truely professional, bloody awesome!

You’re da best! Seriously we really appreciate the unique quality of the shots the editing and storytelling. You’ve got talent!

You are doing a great job with the editing of several camera angles and awesome drone shots.

It has been my experience that when one door closes another will open. That's life for most of us. I've watched you for some time now and always look forward to your videos. You are more than capable of creating a new path to follow. You have a vast knowledge of sailing / navigation to tap into. In addition you have a great supportive partner to help you achieve your goals. You are a man of courage and I am certain you will be successful in your journey. Hold fast! Stay the course!

Something will come your way! You and Sohvi are two top-notch human beings! Thanks for another field trip!

Speaking as someone who knows nothing about sailing, I can see that you are very knowledgeable, experienced and industrious and the challenges you've faced you've dealt with so well. You and Sohvi have overcome so many obstacles together, I think the two of you can face anything. As for the loss of your job, I'm sure you have heard the old adage that "when one door closes, another one opens". You are a very smart intuitive man and you will see and seize the opportunities awaiting you. All the best for the two of you in the next weeks and months. I really enjoy your videos!

Keep it up mate, you're making great content!

You’re in your own category…..the special inspiration no stupid ego category. Thank you 🙏🏽🥰

As one door closes, another door opens - such is life. Good luck in your new direction, whatever that may be! 🙏

That’s some world class sailing y’all. Helluva job.

She is a beautiful boat. Very slippery hull, well mannered, and the gybe was just about perfect. I’d feel better with a boom brake, too. You guys did very well through the nerve-wracking navigation. It is exhausting. I wish you well on your career transition. I think many people have made the change to a “work at home” environment since the pandemic. The question is now, along with your videography, can you use talents you do have while sailing. “Sailing Delos” would probably be good to ask. Brian Trautman and his wife (who is Swedish) have been on You-Tube for 10 years sailing around the world aboard their 10+ year old Super Maramu ketch. Brian does all the work on the boat. They have a toddler who must be two years old now. As far as experience goes, I think he would be the one to ask.

Now is the time to make positive changes and I hope you will grow as a filmmaker. I would love to see more of the wildlife you encounter in the remote areas you travel.

Youre an incredible video creator/ editor. You make some of the best content out there in my opinion. Good luck on your new endevor.

Thank you for sharing it all with us. You guys are unique in many ways. Praying for wisdom for you both. ❤

Thanks!

You’re so calm and controlled. It’s an important thing to be when out at sea . Loving all your videos.

Your videos are as good as travel videos get. I wish you nothing but success

Your videos are EXCELLENT. In purpose and content. Tom

I absolutely LOVE the fact that you outline your sailing strategy for us!!! You have a new follower! Fair winds, from the USA my friends!

Absolutely one of my favorite sailing channels. And I love the Finnish soul that sips through, you fins are special. /Ruotsalainen

Thanks for the great videos! Wishing both of you happiness and adventure in things to come.

You're special and very capable. Highest Blessings on your journey into the unknown.

Thank you for your wonderful channel, I really hope this works out for you on a full-time basis as well. All the best! Daniel

The inside passage, with it's narrow channels and high tidal currents is not for the faint of heart. Have been smacked around pretty good during trips up and down it. If you want to read a good overview of it read "In The Wake of An Alaskan Mailboat". The skipper of that mailboat and the writer of the book are personal friends. You can also read "Cheechakos" and 'This Raw Land". It's all good practice for the Gulf of Alaska ahead. :-D

You guys seem like two people with nerves of steel . 👍🖐🍾

These people seem really calm and together, and I like how each potentially disastrous situation is taken care of by thinking it through and looking at the camera saying "Well this might get interesting..."

You have a great way of presenting your story, cool ways to film, and allow us to see places many of us can only dream of visiting - so a BIG thank you for sharing and sincerely all the best

It's hard to believe that Lumi is the same boat we saw when you found her, she looks amazing. Good luck on your new position, if your video quality has been any kind of barometer, you are going do great things. 🌬🌊⛵

You’re a very compelling storyteller. Whether you know it or not. I really enjoy tuning in to you and haven’t missed an episode for a year or so for that very reason. Keep going man. Legend 👍

Im a sailor and I love going places with you that I haven’t gone! You are unique! Thank you and I will be with you on many more!

Nice video, good to see some sailing in less than ideal conditions, and nice navigation skills - it is great when the electronics and spot-on and can assist in that situation.

I admire such bravery the two if you exhibit. Watching you two is much like a scripted award winning movie. One minute there's beautiful cinematography, the next, it's edge of your seat drama. Well done you two!!

12k views in just 5 hours without booby-thumbnail ! That's success baby. You offer so different, beautiful and quality content. Thank you ❤

Good luck with the new venture, I hope things work out well for you. I find your videos very interesting and always look out for the next one.

The block failure was a "gift" not a failure. This hilights the reality of the fact that when you replace these parts you will be safer. Have a great day. Tom in the Maritimes at the NB-NS border.

Now you are ready for the Southern Ocean! The boat is fabulous!

Your videos are exceptional. You will do very well in videography. Your channel is unique, and the two of you are loveable!

i was stationed in the alautian islands, we where the only humans between japan and alaska, and we got several sail boats come in because of equipment failure, welcome to alaska birthplace of the winds.

Hello Juho, Your videos are great, and for sailors and lovers of northern landscapes / adventures, it's absolutely unique, so keep on doing them. And don't worry about your future on YT or as a videographer, if you are documenting your Northwestpassage, it will create a lot of interest, even in nonsailors, i'm Sure!

Everything differrent in your videos... I'm hooked.

Love the Arctic sailing with the beautiful snow ❄️ and you two taking to the white slopes ❄️👍🏻🇺🇸🙋🏼‍♀️

Thank YOU for making videos of your adventure. You're one of my favourite channels.

Sorry to hear you are going through a tough time. Please know that your videos are inspirational and that a lot of people need this right now. So thank you for the work you do and all the best at this turning point in your life.

Look ahead not behind. The future is all yours 😊

Love following your journey! You are inspiring ❤

Thanks so much for these videos. Your view has a sense of authenticity, when a thing is broken it is broken no questions, but the world doesn't come to an end. There is a real sense of coherence to your story line which carries me along. You are really lucky to have found Sohvi " she really likes light houses " So nice. Bon Voyage, will be waiting for the next one. Thanks again, Martin, NYC

Beautiful drone work... as per usual. Thrilling!

I am very impressed by your abilty....you are living my dream...best wishes for you both....I think you will succeed at whatever you decide to do.

Thank you for being us your view of the world we live in. Keep it going and fair winds and clear sky's.

Terrific videos. Your drone shots are always outstanding. I have no idea where you go from here, but I have no doubt you will pave a new way. Good luck to both of you.

From the little that I've seen (I've watched a few of your vids) you'll have an excellent career creating vids!!🎉

What a great video show In that narrow passage. I hope that you find your way in order to keep sailing like no one else.

The quality of your video uploads and the shear guts you guy have navigating these waters is amazing - love your videos .. soo inspiring.. thank you 🙏

Exciting change ahead. Love your channel. Beautiful scenery and amazing challenges! ⛵️

I love your videos and you also have a prettiest sailing lady. Just love your synergy

I'm excited to see what you come up with in the future, your videos are always incredible.❤️

Thank you for your exceptional videos. The latest, through that difficult passage was scary. I realise it’s a difficult period for you, but feel confident that your followers will support you. Best Wishes. Ken

What a great adventure, all the best for your further journey. Stay safe and sound!

I’m loving this trip you’re doing!!! Seeing a stunning part of the world that I have never seen before! Thank you for taking us along with you!! 😊😊

I am thrilled to have found your channel and to subscribe. Thank you for these terrific videos. Fair winds and following seas , to you both.

My sailboat is dry docked currently for repairs but I always enjoy being able to get time on the water sailing with the two of you! I really enjoy your videos...Safe travels😉⛵

Such a unique, beautiful perspective on sailing. Hope it all works out for the future, all I can see is your channel going from strength to strength!

Thanks for all the expeditions you have taken us on . takecare.

Consistency is key to you tube bro, try at least once a week... its obvious we like seeing you fix and make things better on ya boat. I think you should 100% jump head first into the videos 🤙

Thanks for another great video. I love seeing all the scenery. I don't know how much wildlife you will see on this journey, but I hope you'll share what you see. Have fun!!

First of all thank you for this incredible footage ! I’ve seen so many tropical videos that all seem to run together. You have a unique spot on KZfaq and I can’t wait to see what you both do in the future. Keep pushing forward and best of luck you both , I know I’m following this journey not only because of the technical info but also the artistry in which it’s presented. Good luck to you both.

🤩⛵️Sensational shots in a fascinating world 👍🏽👏🏽... your job as a translator ... one door closes, however, others open ... you are experienced, serene enough 🍀🤞🏽... we celebrate you and share your channel of course, because you enrich the everyday life of very many people🌻

Hi Juho, you sharing about the end of your freelance job was in no way gloomy. I find your channel to be one of the most authentic and non commercialized out there (can’t hear about atlantic greens anymore). Plus a good sense of humor. Was anyway thinking about supporting you on Patreon and am doing it now. Keep the path you will do great.

Fantastic to hear your going full time. Dont worry your gonna do great! You guys are so genuine and have a totally unique sailing and skiiing style than any other channel. You have the support of 2 liveaboard sailors in BC! Your gonna do great!

The only thing constant is change.

Wow! Great video! Part One - the sailing proved you and Sophie have nerves of steel. Part Two thank you for sharing about your other jobs. Good luck to you both. I love your channel.

Great editing, camera work, and explanation of the cruising gybe. I will try to remember your instructions. :)

enjoy watching your channel, showing us what cruising so far north is like, its not an easy life ,keep up the good work & good luck with your expanded videos etc

I'm always impressed with your immense sailing knowledge and experience.... That's something that takes many years to acquire...

I liked that parasailing ski trip that you uploaded, that was fun to watch.

Love your videos and content, just keep doing what you're doing, and you will make it happen. Quality channel, thanks :)

Your videos are outstanding. Compared to other similar subject creators your videos stand out in production value and editing , story telling!! I wish both of you all the success you deserve and lots more!! I will share with my friends and family

When going gets tough, though get going! Soooo proud of you guys!

Oh boy do I appreciate this one a proper sailing channel too bad about the job. I,m sure you.ll survive it

Keep up the good work with the videos Juho! May the sisu be with you!

We're so grateful for the incredible content on your channel. Your adventures are inspiring and remind us why we started on our journey this year we're so passionate about the sailing lifestyle it bets the 9 to 5 for sure. Cheers to more shared experiences!

Love your videos - glad to see the adventurous spirit lives on!

Love your videos! Always listen with earbuds. Please pay attention to the beautiful sounds of sailing. I love the wind and waves and birds in your videos.

I think you will do well. Your skills as a videographer are excellent and your productions are a real favourite of mine. Keep up the good work. 😊

Exciting news! What may seem difficult at first glance can be a door opener to new adventures and you are in the middle of them! Good luck with your new working life and Kiitos, että jaatte elämän meidän sohvapurjehtijoiden kanssa!

I wish you both luck, success, winds and always enough water below the keel!

looks like a nasty time for fair weather sailors, just a good job you dont mind it. 2x👍👍

Thank you for showing me a part of the world I otherwise would never get to see. I also admire both of your skills and calmness in situations where I know I would be on the edge of panic. I wish you both all the best!

Your videos are very well done and make me feel calm. Thank you and best luck to you in your travels!

What an interesting & unique story. I knew Finnish, Danish & Portuguese sailors were good, but to navigate the waterways around Alaska is insane. Very good navigation skills, especially considering there were no markers. And as lots of folks have said already, you do a great job of narration & sharing your story. Keep up the good work, share it on as many Social Media platforms as you can & you'll be able to make a living doing it. Lots of respect for you & look forward to seeing the next ones.

Your detailed explanations regarding the navigational challenges you face are what bring me back to your videos. The scenery is awesome , as well. You could try looking into translational services for medical centers, possibly. They contract with a company who you make yourself available to during certain times of the day. I used a service called ‘the language line’ many times while working. I don’t know what company owns it, but it is a possibility. I know it made my job doable. Best of luck to you!

I'm sure you'll grow. There's so many channels that sail in the sun. For us sailing in colder more northern climates you are an inspiration and show what can be done.

A wonderful video! Great to see you both!
