Hi guys! This video is a bit of a reality check of what we encounter on the remote Arctic beaches. Might not be so exciting and adrenaline-filled, but I feel like I'd be hiding something if I didn't show this side of things as well.

I've published this as a "paid" post in Patreon, however in the future if there's more of these shorter "non-sailing" videos, I'll probably only post every second of them as "paid". Or what do you think would be fair? In any case remember that you have a chance to restrict the amount of paid posts per month in your Patreon settings, although my current low video release rate pretty much means max 1-2 videos per month anyway ;)

This time Ipromise to get the next video out before the end of month though! And it'll be sailing in Senja and Lofoten, with lots of great drone shots, some of the nicest footage I've captured so far 😁

found HUGE whale bones 😎 & a sh*t ton of trash 😭 [ep19]

After having sailed and anchored s/y Sylvia in this remote bay, I was pretty amazed to come across almost a whole whale skeleton. Found all kinds of bones including jawbones, skull, ribs, vertebrae etc. In this video I also show the unfortunate marine litter situation that I often see on these remote Arctic beaches. Marine littering is not just a "3rd world problem" or something that happens "somewhere far away". This doesn't only apply to Norway but to other western countries as well! In the video I state that most of the trash found in northern Norway is of local and regional origin. The data collected and reports provided for example by SALT also support this. SALT also does great job in collecting trash all around Norway's beaches. More information and reports at www.salt.nu You can support my small production on Patreon. Your support lets me allocate more time into filming+editing these videos. As a patron you get access to a real-time boat tracker (with past track and location infos, including locations where each episode was shot), real-time updates (photos and random crap not suitable for wider audience) and access to our very own Arctic sailing WhatsApp group. For long time supporters there's canvas photo prints and a chance to get your name on s/y Sylvia's mast :) http://www.patreon.com/alluringarctic (If you're not familiar with Patreon: it's a crowdfunding platform for creators) More real time updates on my Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/alluringarctic And Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/alluringarctic I collaborate with Helly Hansen to keep me warm & DRY!: https://bit.ly/2TNYkwq (I get a small commission on each sale through this link)
