Not a problems. The high-definition video is superb, leaving one wishing for more local scenery and looking forward to viewing more episodes. Thank you..
So many channels are full of hype and artificial polish. I've been toying around with doing a video series on wilderness travel, cold weather survival - that sort of thing. I have a lot that I'd like to share after 50+ years of knocking around in the great outdoors, and your low-key but very informative presentation gives me an excellent example that you don't have to be slick to succeed. One other thing. As a veteran sea kayaker, I have a deep appreciation for those of you who venture out on the last great wilderness on the planet. Fair winds and five stars for a job well done.

"If for some stupid reason you would like to support my small production.." Hey, where's the faith in one's self brother !! Honestly, its exactly this wonderful fly by the seat of your pants sense of humor which so clearly defines you as the splendid talented, modest, understated, cool dude you are..& Sofie seems to be equally totally down to Earth ..wonderful ! Sometime maybe share a bit about who you two are in real life, what circumstances played in bringing your two unique souls to the same table..maybe a bit about your youth times..all that good stuff. Im in Big Sur..Calif.mid coast, Monterey County..I have a dinner setting all ready for you two once your out here bouts...big love , & respect to you both !

Juhooooooo, it's the time for your small production to make a BIG Q&A video!!!!
Something very raw and gentle about your channel ... so satisfying. Sticking around for more.
sarcasm is the best medicine against seasickness, bully your fellow sailors and you don't dare getting seasick
Wow, the cheerful, friendly, welcoming harbormaster at Torshavn really makes me want to visit the Faroes just as soon as i can!!! 🙄
By far the best channel on KZread. Watch all videos from the beginning and I am thoroughly in awe of all of your skill sets. I have lived by the sea all my life and have dived and swam in all types of seas but have not taken the opportunity to sail which is something I deeply regret. Look forward to watching the rest.
Great video. Thank you
I don't know why but I really like that boat.
Sometimes a whole scopolamine patch is too much and we cut them in half or even less and they are still somewhat effective without being so sleepy.

Seasons greetings from Vancouver. Just so you know we’re watching your journey’s for a second time.
Since you have two engines, you should only run one on long passages. Catamarans do it all the time, so I would wager you can too. Think about it! Half the run time on both engines, and half the maintenance and fuel costs. The performance hit is typically half to one knot of speed. Diesels will only give good service at around 2/3 throttle. So if you run two at lower revolutions per minute there may be damage over time.

You have to check shaft cooling & gearbox lubrication for the non working engine thou if it's free spinning. Easiest to lock the shaft but increases drag

With a properly cooled engine and a correct thermostat, low RPM operation will actually result in less wear and less fuel consumption for the distance. Engine running too cool at low RPM, yes, this can cause wear and lower fuel efficiency. I run my Perkins 4.236 at 1,500 rpm for days or weeks at about 1.0 GPH. Add more power and the fuel burn is exponential. Yes, I want to see how Arktika does on a single engine. Sailing downwind seems the rudder didn't have very good authority, so lets wait to see about single engine operation.

You'll have to check with your engine manufacture for long running slow speed. My cat 3116s need a full load burn for 15 mins every 6hrs of slow speed. Running 1500rpm for days on end isn't good for injectors turbo's or carbon build up.
You rocked that berthing like a boss...
Thank you. Your videos are always a treat.
That really is some serious boat

I get vertigo from Meniere's syndrome. What works for me is Ginger. Ginger cookies work but do have sugar. So I just swallow ground ginger powder with anything, Almond Milk, Tea. It prevents vertigo.
You're a lucky Captain.
Superb production. Deeply moving. Thank Yous.
I am glad you posted a video. I was staring to worry about you.
This is shaping up to be a great vlog of what is sure to be another great adventure. Great stuff!
I so enjoyed this episode.. I really love Artika !! Never have I seen a vessel so fit for a couple... Thanks for sharing your lives with us ✌🏻💗😊❣️
Spectacular!
Truly amazing, looking forward to follow you guys this winter!
To prevent seasickness: Stugeron 15mg tablets. No seasickness, no side affects. They are the offshore sailors best friend.

100 % agree. i sometimes see on other channels, requests for suggestions to cure or lessen seasickness, and for me, no boat should ever put to sea, even if the usual crew never or seldom gets seasick, without stugeron in the medicine cabinet! life saving stuff, and great to see Ron, you suggesting it.

I second that. Also they can be sucked or chewed to speed up the onset of their effect. This should mean that they don't need to be used until the sailor feels the onset of sickness. Apparently ginger, as a treatment for seasickness, led to the development of marmalade but I'll let someone else tell that story :-)
I love this…💗💗

Reversing into your berth, good seamanship. Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are always amazing, that boat is fantastic, so well taken care of and I hope the boat work wasn’t anything major. Thanks for taking us on your passage, the Faroes are amazing
I had watched one of your videos a year or more ago when you sailed somewhere to climb a mountain and ski down it. When I saw you got the new boat I checked it out and watched the episodes up to this one. Good story and well done. (You didn't make a whole video about cleaning up the fuel spill!!! So refreshing...😎) From what I saw of Greenland from 40,000 feet looked so awesome and so very uninviting to me, but so beautiful. Subscribed and will stick around to see how it goes in Greenland for you.
Beautiful Coast! 🤗 Reminds Me Of The Cliffs Of Moher In Ireland ☘️ 🇮🇪
That's beautifully
That's a strange-looking boat but after going back and getting sucked into watching your other videos wow! I think this channel is going to blow up. Talk about unique! No other channel on KZread like it.
Wow you’ve become an expert at vessel control in tight quarters, impressive, looks fun. Thank you for sharing I’m really enjoying your videos as they are so well put together. Hold fast.
Very happy to get news of your crossing! Share your joy in a successful docking 🤞😊. Many more to come.
Liquid ginger added to water before you start sailing stops the crew getting seasick. sipping it as you go on the voyage. i used to give out medication as the medic on board but they still got sick, did not remember feeling unwell and became useless anyway. Few drop added to water and your good to go. Oh and it will taste the same going down as it does coming up if its administered too late.
Love it !
Happy travels!
Wow it’s so beautiful
You've got a great boat for where you are heading. I wish you the best
Nice trip and nice berthing. Looks such an amazing place to visit. Thanks for sharing. Andy UK
Very nice
Another great video. You must be a very smart guy, great choices on the boat and the first mate ! Thank you.
Thanks for letting us follow the adventure. Stay safe
First time viewer here. That is one spectacularly good looking boat.
The cliffs are breathtaking! I'm glad I found your page. I am from Minnesota, USA but have been living in the southwest, US for 30 years. But The weather reminds me so much home. Our American football theam is known as The Vikings. As the vikings of Norway etc. discovered Minnesota And the great lakes it their time, I wonder if Minnesota reminded them of home? I wish you pink skies at night.😆
I really like your new boat 👍👍👍
Love your new adventures..
I’m envious your living such a carefree lifestyle. I get the northern oceans the area is beautiful. Are you going to warmer waters some day? I do enjoy your videos keep up the great work.
Beautiful scenery.When working on the ship just strap the camera in a corner and work. Just enplane what your doing and save for later days. Good luck.
Great episode...
Congrats on completing your first open ocean passage in the new boat. We look forward to seeing what you do there.
Love your channel and this new boat! Keep up the great work! Following along from Canada 🇨🇦 Cheers!
Great video UK 🇬🇧 👍
Nice one and great drone flying too 👍
This was so cool. The southern latitudes give warmth, but the arctic gives a lot more. Good looking boat.
That is a MAJOR first passage. Well done, sailors!

the moment you said "dry mouth" my mouth felt really really dry. Stop this wizardy at once!
Just started watching you, on our fourth episode now that you and Shovi are on route to Iceland. I am a retired Navy Commander, my wife and I have an Australian built 32 ft Swanson sailboat. I am trying to understand your love for sailing around in such cold weather and harsh conditions. Might I recommend a little detour to the Bahamas 😁.. I have to put you on pause now that both of your engines have failed. It is New Year's Eve here in Nova Scotia on Canada's Atlantic Coast. We have to go make our New year's Eve pizza. I know you are going to get here engines running again. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you both 👍
In Norway they don't say "Do you want to come and see my puppies" the say "Do you want and come to see my boat"
When landing your drone and catching it by hand, grab the done and rotate it 90°, this will turn it off instantly. I noticed your trouble at the end of episode 17. Really enjoying the series! I found your channel by searching for information about diesel drip heaters and ended up watching every episode back to back. Thank you from Texas!
Brilliant
Nice vid.......thank you

Satisfying video! So pleased your first offshore passage has gone well! What a boat and what a crew! Looking forward to seeing the places you visit. Take care, safe travels and thank you for sharing!
Scopolamine is derived from the flower Death's Breath. You should read up on what they do with it in Columbia.
Try cutting the sea sickness patches in half. They still work but with less side effects.
