Secret trip to Barbados! (and other secret plans) (Patreon)

Well not really a secret, but there won't be any photos or video published to the general public just because this was our holiday time and that means I'm not interested in touching any camera gear except for taking a couple of random snaps with the phone 😉. (Nice to have a break from making videos sometimes). But yeah, it turns out Arctic sailors can like the warm weather as well! I spent a lot of time practicing wingfoiling, really fun sport that I hope to do among some icebergs in Alaska/Greenland in the future..

Barbados was actually just a random "layover stop" that we decided to do on our way to Finland (found some cheap accommodation and flights).

As some of you might know, we had to leave Alaska for a while to deal with some bureaucratic practicalities and to meet our family & friends. And most importantly, Sohvi is starting a new job as a researcher at the Arctic Centre of the University of Lapland, which also requires this visit. Don't worry, after these couple weeks in Finland she can continue working remotely from the boat!

I'll also be presenting at the Nordict Boat Show in Helsinki (9-18th Feb). I will post separately about a patrons-only meetup there. If you're planning to go to the show and there's a specific date and time that would be good for you please let me know down in the comments!

At the end of Feb / beginning of March we will be back at Lumi, and then we will be spending a lot of time preparing for the Northwest Passage...

The latest video I released had footage that I shot at mid/end of December. Many of you have asked about when the footage is shot for each video; if you look carefully I usually include a date & location somewhere at the beginning of the video. I have material for a boat tour video and an anchoring video that I will edit together and release during the next month!

That's it for now, huge thanks to all of you for your support!
