I am afraid you cannot trust Google to treat you equitably. Remember the women Nasim Najafi Aghdam who had some change in status on her YT account regarding publishing of animal rights content and was extremely frustrated as she was a YT professional and lost the majority of income - so she went into an office cafeteria where Google employees work and used a gun on employees before ending her own life in the offices. Sorry to bring this up as it was extremely unfortunate. The change from Google this week is that the count meter on the "dislike" button has been modified to not show a number count. You might take the "Strong Interest Inventory" to assist you in career choices. Thanks for the excellent videos and I hope you enjoyed the cake on your birthday.

I probably would become financial analyst and having the video making as your hobby. It could become bit tedious and maybe put you off your adventures if you have the pressure of producing videos every week, unless you are really enjoying making theses videos. Although I love watching them as it is completely different to what my sailing is here in warm Perth WA. 😂👍

You need to do you, to be yourself, to follow your passion. I think you should honor your decision as a good one. Yes, it’s a big deal. But it came from the heart. And while you always seem to be wearing a big smile, somehow the joy on your face and in your voice was even bigger and happier when you decided to share your plans with the rest of us. I say go for it.

You bet. Have been in the arctic. That far north can be really pretty in winter. It's tough and your traveling has to be much more carefully thought though so you don't get into hull icing and such which can quickly be deadly. It's tough and a very small niche who will be interested. There is another couple (Sailing Uma) who have been in the northern country the past year or so. You might also look at the Antarctic in the future. Just the transition will be an adventure. Start talking to some of the cold weather gear companies for sponsorships etc. You're in a hostile environment to do some great testing.

As long as you are close to land and have control of the weather - its ok. But in a small sailing vessel - really bad weather - storms and icing can easy get dangerous very fast.

Don’t forget Roger Taylor “MingMing” 22-24’ boats NO Engine, just sails up above 82* North from the UK.

Did an overnight winter sail (January) with a friend, many years ago aboard his 26 ft converted lifeboat turned centerboard motor sailor. Bridgeport Ct. to Cockenoe Island off Westport. Not that far but lots of close hauled tacks due to the typical late afternoon southwest wind direction. Bitter cold sailing but hunkered down with a couple of steaks & a cheap bottle of bourbon in a nicely heated cabin. Watching the headlights of cars zipping along the crystal clear pitch black shore provided our entertainment. Will never forget it. Life was good!

I subscribed. Anyone who's out sailing around the arctic in the wintertime needs all the support that can be given. You got balls.

When you said you had your dry suit on, I first thought you were preparing for a rough sail… no… kitesurfing? Crazy hardcore. I live in Hawaii, so it seems pretty insane to me, but if you’re dressed for it, I guess it doesn’t matter how cold, as long as the water isn’t frozen. Good episode. Aloha.

I watched a video once about a chap that lived aboard a yacht in a marina that completely froze over. To stop the ice encompassing his boat he crafted a device to blow air bubbles like a jacuzzi around the waterline so the ice never formed. Genius 🙂

"It's getting dark and if something goes wrong you are kinda screwed" says the master of understatement.

The shots of the church in the background while you were kite-surfing were surreal. The church looked like a painting.

Happy birthday our Young Risktaker. Your cake looked like a Labour of Love.

Happy Birthday. My jaw dropped when you said you kite surfing. I cannot even imagine, love you channel and following your adventures, so glad you are putting out more videos. Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦

Happy Birthday, Young Man. Sohvi made a beautiful cake!! You put those things Juho is a crazy about; berries!!

Terrific video. Absolutely amazing sound. (So much better than that canned junk everyone else seems to think belongs on sailing videos. You know, "Hey, the sails are full, let's play some generic sounding music no one would ever willingly listen to.") You really captured the cold. Gave me shivers. The 'grid' trace of bare deck from the bracing underneath is less insulated. (This happens with 2x4s structural lumber in a house. Wood has a very low R factor. I doubt aluminum has any R factor at all. So the heat transfers from the inside out. The only 'solution' would be to insulate the deck surface. Of course, not practical.) Something else happens, that you are probably already aware of. The snow and ice on your deck if left alone in freezing temperatures will nevertheless diminish and disappear. (Just like old ice cubes in your freezer that are tiny.) This is sublimation. The direct movement of ice to vapor without the water stage. And of course the opposite occurs, deposition which makes hoarfrost. (I'm probably talking to myself here. I moved to California, you guys seem to avoid going below 50° N)

Happy birthday Juho and Merry Christmas both of you! Hydrofoiling in that weather makes me shiver!

I enjoy your videos and can only dream of doing Arctic sailing. I can take you on a hunt in the African Bush, give you shark cage diving etc - all in warm weather, but, I have no idea what a snowstorm feels like, but I can describe what a heatwave of 45 degrees Celcius feels like... Thank you for this channel, we, the armchair sailing community think your submissions are just awesome!!

BUT, we are ready to take on the real sailing life. We aren't sure about the KZread thing either because it seems very 'FICKLE'!, and we just want to enjoy our life, but yes, income, funding ourselves is a necessity for the majority of everyone's great sailing escapes! You will have to make your own path, as you know, but you are an inspiring young man-charming, witty, and expressive. Keep showing viewers what they haven't experienced and I think your unique niche, as you stated, could be quite lucrative. Promoting yourself is, at best, difficult - but you don't know what you can do until you go there and see! Promote yourself, develop your brand, and mix that all together and show the rest of the world!!!!!

Your channel is amazing …. never seen what daily life is like in such harsh conditions …. however you seem quite comfortable with it and your kite surfing proves that nothing stops you from doing whatever you want. Respect to you both.

Have not been you since beginning, but have gone back to beginning so I don’t miss anything!

Happy belated birthday! I can not believe you actually brought out the kite surfing gear in that climate. Of course you needed a bigger kite, because the balls it takes to get into that water probably weigh a ton.

Brilliant

Your adventure and the region you cover is amazing. Keep it coming. Kite sailing in the frigid water must be accelerating, thanks for sharing.

Loved it😁! Thanks

Wow, the source of bad weather is born.. thanks for going outside for the shots!

You got the kite surfing, I cant figure how people can get in the water when its so cold. I live on the North coast of the UK and we see surfers out in all weathers, I watch with the heating on full and hot drink. great video 2x👍

That kite surfing was crazy

Another mooring option is to connect chains to the ends of your mooring lines, and then drop the chains over the dock bollards. Chains are definitely resistant to chafe!

Kiting in the snow, true iceland 😱😱😱

Happy birthday, I watch just about every sailing channel on you tube , but yours is on a different level, you I can understand, but your lady is one tough girl.

Sohvi has the ability to add so much to these videos and take the channel to another level with the two of you as a wonderful team. 🤙

Kite Surfing in winter? You are certified nuts!

You my friend are out of your mind! But, you do seem to be having fun. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

I love to watch the snow, especially those huge flakes that fall & stick so fast. This is a great video!

I would die to be on the boat. The experience must be exhilarating. Safe travels

Another way to deal with tying off when you will blow away from the dock/wharf is to use dedicated lengths of chain to tie directly to dockside cleats/bollards/bull rails. Attach your nylon dock lines with thimbled loops and galvanized schackles (wired for security.). You eliminate chafe to your lines.

Love to see the lines of your boat externally.

Anything that isn’t the Caribbean would have to be of interest to every sailor.
