Hi dear Patrons. Here's the first video on board Arktika, from the the first time that I was inside. Hope you enjoy! I'll do a bit of colour correction and upload an "enhanced" version later, but just wanted to post this for you to see, since we might not have good Internet connection the next few days. Thanks for the support!

First look at our new, monster of a boat!

Arktika!

Arktika looks pretty much how we left her in late September 2019. Glad she has held up so well so long. Thanks for all your hard work getting her seaworthy for the next adventure and what an adventure that will be!

exciting stuff – and a really big leap! Can't wait to follow along! Oh, and maybe you figured this out by now, but some Diesels use output from the alternator to drive the tach, so maybe that was the problem?

It is so good to finally see a video of Arkitka. That boat is a beast with so much room for friends, gear, and food it is going to be a great platform for adventure to Iceland, Greenland, and perhaps a northwest passage to Russia! That would be an incredible journey for sure! I like the idea of a closer to real time format. Your past video are amazing for showing beautiful scenery that is wonderfully blended with amazing scenery complimented with your story telling. Please oh please include the epic drone shots on your new journey that you gave us in past ones! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to watching the next video!

What an interesting boat. A lot of systems to get up to speed on, but I'm sure that time will help them make sense. I'm guessing that there must be another heat source other than the wood and diesel stoves. Twin engine powerboat handling prowess should come quickly with a little practice.

She is built like a tank, will give a good feeling under rough conditions, lots of space below.

Juho, Im really excited for you guys and enjoy seeing the process of getting the boat ready. I'm also super excited that the videos will be more in sync with the actual filming. You are on the right track and combining filming and editing without the time delay will almost certainly make the process more fluid and much easier. Looking forward the splash video and seeing you work your way out the harbor. Always love your videos! Lastly, since you are planning to winter over in the ice around Greenland, you might be interested in the book: North to the Night: A Spiritual Odyssey in the Arctic, by Alvah Simon.... In this book, a couple sets off to winter in the ice on a sailboat. I really loved this book. You might too. Or perhaps you have already read it?

Thanks a lot Steve, and that book has been recommended to us by many and has become an absolute must-read.. We actually could not find it in Finland, but we'll order and get it to the boat somehow!

The twin engines are indeed becoming a lot more familiar each day, manouvring with them in the harbor is actually a lot of fun! There is a forced air diesel heater and also the engine heat can be used to heat the cabins

hi David, thanks a lot and thanks for the long and continued support! :) Yes there will be epic drone shots and we can't wait to get to all those places...

Yes, you're right, the tach indeed was getting the signal from alternator! We've now since changed the alternator and it seems to be working again :)

Great vessel to undertake your planned adventures. My experience in the high Arctic was in the summer on a 9,000 ton displacement ice breaker with triple screws powered by 3 electric turbines putting out over 11,000 kw. Having seen how challenging that was at times I salute your willingness to undertake your planned voyages

I think there might be a copy onboard. I thought I brought most cold weather books to Arktika a few years ago. If not I can get a copy to you.
