Hokkaido Ice Breaker Ship Experience | Abashiri

welcome aboard everybody welcome to the icebreaker ship I guess you can wear a boating uniform if you like all the seats are already full we're going upstairs no we're not outside Wow all right this is where I want to be hello everybody welcome to another live stream here in Abba City Japan this is northern Hokkaido and that out there is the great unknown the old Souq you see the place where you'll be able to see ice drifts you'll be able to see possibly white sea lions and other why marine life lounging on icebergs at least that's what the brochure makes it out to be now this is how the city behind him he and I don't know if I'm gonna be able to livestream very far out to sea this is on I'm actually on the boat right now and a couple of years ago I was out there and now I'm on here so it's a big difference some tourists are out here braving it but the elements but it's not that cold today it's really sunny there's a lot of boat tours Thank You dark lisa says hi hi Lisa you can see a lot of bus tours coming on board this is gonna be crazy but I already see some ice there's some drift ice in the heart here you can see this is the sea of salt water but yet it's so cold it gets ice even up here so according to the guy who sold me the ticket oh it's very clear today blue skies conditions are ideal he said to me kind of like in this voice so I bought the ticket to get on right away also my friends from Indonesia who I met a couple days ago are also on the same code I saw them this morning when I was buying the tickets there is some marine life you can see out there ducks these ducks don't mind the cold at all this duck does yeah today also is my birthday this is my 44th birthday 44th year live on planet Earth and I'm out here with all of you on the ami ojos see that's that's what it says in katakana oh hold skirt so that's what I'm gonna call it is the sea that divides russia and japan up here on the very north of hokkaido it's kind of an exotic place for japanese because it's so far away i got a cup of steaming hot coffee at 7-eleven [Music] it's still hot despite the the minus three degrees Celsius weather yes my friend Peter and Jennifer are older than me but don't tell them they don't want to show any with nice-ish mess it is getting crowded already with with tourists and camera wielding people over the age of 65 so I'm getting the feeling that this might be a tour for other people I'm cool with it I don't mind meeting meaning it might be the captain they're pretty cool and then we're going out to harbor this way this way will take us out to the drifting ice and if you can see beyond this line cadance thank you very much alberni is a sister city port very cool you see the line here over yonder yeah I always wanted to use that word is the ice that's not land that's ice you see it that's what we're going this is really exciting I don't know if I'm gonna be able to live stream but I'm gonna go as long as we can go that's the way we do this and before we have 30 minutes to do it before we actually depart let me take you around the boat see if we can go go anywhere else on the boat actually they get refreshments and stuff it's sort of a big deal you can see there's the refreshment stand do you want to see that all right let's go look at the refreshment stand - everything is zoomed in and I'm holding a coffee hold on a second bear with me this is the refreshment stand they have they have blue beer the drift ice beer he also has many Kumaon there's the blue beer up there you can also go down below okay let's go down below basically running down there there doesn't seem to be many seats available these are so fun a little so it should I claim this one for us this is what the boat looks like just even a vending machine on board very cool they do the announcements over here's the boat by the way it looks like this it looks cuter in an animated dress drawing doesn't it so I'm actually dressed for the weather I got this unique low block tech high-tech fleece that blocks all of the wind as well as the down jacket so should be I should be okay to go outside for most of this you see the people out here [Music] they are waiting patiently let me show you my ticket there it is right there this is the ticket it departs at 12:30 it's not 12:15 the boat is called the Aurora it looks like that and the ticket cost me three thousand three hundred yen which is about $27 2000 is about it's reasonable I mean it's a one-hour tour on a boat so I figure you got to do it you know and it's got these fancy lights like The Love Boat so you know it's it's gonna be a good ride can't go wrong and the Love Boat so I get this coffee at a 7-eleven this was $1.00 I like a black and Jack that is black gold so we're getting ready to depart I can hear the engines revving up I'm gonna leave my coffee here and then we're gonna go take a tour so that's what we do keep that there all right I'll look there's a little grass table with fake grass says please you just take care off your shoes and go up so you can enjoy this this green grass here pretty cool and here's the tip of the tip of the boat for emergency use only well he's got a big rope very cool he's gonna I guess he's got the anchor away he's gonna pull the anchor we'll look like landlubbers let's be honest actually Mike dad's my father's job is he's a captain on an oil tanker so all all his life and all he's been at sea he's a seaman all right we can go up we're going up to the second floor to the second deck here wow it's already packed with people would they all come from there's more people than penguins there's a lot of people thank you John thank you very much for the super chats everybody I appreciate that I'm gonna put that to good use tonight at dinner have a nice dinner it's so dry out here in the in the not quite art arctic area very dry oh now you can see a little bit more the separation going out to sea you can see some mountains in the distance that must be the very very north of Hokkaido a different area it's beautiful here [Music] saying goodbye to land hello to ice sea ice it's the best kind of ice [Music] because it's on the scene it's a great loud generator you know the captain should honk the forum so then we feel we get psyched up by it right you know I label in the trucks you ever drive on the highway and you go like this and the truck driver a boo-boo that's what they should do right now but there's no window where the captain can see us and do the little horn thing for us so he's up there on the on the deck on the bridge so bootleg ken is up at 3 a.m. in the United Kingdom in England thank you very much for the happy birthday I appreciate that Katherine I am I have no plans for Valentine's Day [Music] thank you very much from Toronto awesome very nice people today everybody remembers my birthday maybe it's because I said it like six times yesterday but it's it's nice because

to see more of the open sea this way beautiful out there look at that we're live it's amazing we're out here on the sea live oh my it's a beautiful beautiful day we couldn't have asked for a better day than this for coming out here just to see the sea the old sea all right now we're getting out to the ice see that line that white line is just all ice I'm hoping I see like a white sea lion or something like that lounging this would be the best birthday present ever Suchi Takumi thank you very much my friend p-per taken to be you thanks everybody for the wonderful delicious means a lot to me this is pretty cool all right we're still going up now this boats supposed to go deep into the ice see that we're gonna break through that ice do it bad thing about Santa next to the engine is that it smells like gasoline had my mouth open and you'd not need some of that blue beer to wash it out this is really cool usually when I'm on the sea the stuff floating on it is trash this time it's ice it's nice to see something natural on the ocean well some of these icebergs are look at it [Music] now we're getting deeper into the white the city is now in the distance now triple 4 is 444 Thank You

some funny this is the Icebreaker Aurora in opposite II Hokkaido Wow now we're getting some big pieces of ice I'm from Tokyo but I'm originally from America look there was some strange animal walking across the ice you see that look at the tracks that had to be like a walking fish or a bird maybe you see the tracks looks just like a little bathtub of ice here check that out [Music] that ice over there starting to congeal do you see that like very core I don't know if this walking fish that's evolution it could be seeing more evolution from another level who knows what's out here [Music] I like people posing with the taking pictures down there okay we still got a signal so I'm gonna show you the other side right now here we go we're deep in it now [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] that's the island of misfits I'm gonna go to the other side again Oh [Music] he thinks he's better than us on a high position how do you do bird welcome to my ship enjoy the ice and if you have a piece of bread do you throw it in the air so I'll have a lunch thank you and have a pleasant ride I'm now deciding which one of us shall do a fool on you over there perhaps no maybe you [Music] [Music] sorry mate we might have lost a signal for a minute we're deep in it now folks we're very deep I don't see any wildlife except for what's on this boat of course all right so I'm gonna say good bye I gotta actually film for the main channel and I'm gonna go back live again and just give you my report just stick around for another 30 minutes come back in about 25-30 minutes and I'll be back on okay thanks everybody for the birthday wishes I'll be back welcome aboard everybody okay I've become captain of ship I've taken over the mutiny was very peaceful I have two other uniforms four other captains that I choose will be able to take the responsibility to drive the ship and plow it into the high seas this is really cool very nice and fits of you who who don't like it we have a place for you to leave your complaints so I'm just gonna go out one more time and I'm gonna stop it and then get a beer or something to celebrate when I get off this is my ship after all the captain says thank you for all joining us I have the stripes to prove my what yo-ho-ho holder icebreaker life for me well these are a lot bigger than before well I could feel the boat hitting each bird iceberg that is this is one of the attractions and side sheets I still hood it's buddy on there this is one of the one of the big attractions of a shitty thumbnail everybody the captain speaks so I'm gonna have to get off of this I'm gonna go back live again in a couple of minutes or in about 20 minutes and we go back into Shore so thanks everybody I'll see you in a little bit okay just wanted to say thanks for sticking in you 150 wonderful people all right folks are not coming back into land thanks for hanging in there [Music] what a beautiful beautiful sky we have the ice is thinned out here [Music] we've still got big pieces though but it's not like the it it's not the same as it was out there and you can see on the horizon there's the Aurora number two that's the Aurora number two right there majestic looking on the ojos see well that's a big one I'd love to just jump on that and then swim out to see some mermaids Simon's asking what that mountain is I'm actually not sure I believe it and I don't know if you look at a map of Abha shibi I think you can figure it out the city where we're going now into the city you can see the landlubbers inside I can't take the heat sorry about the wind [Music] see into it's the end of the people are you doing that lady was cool that's really cold would he get the full blast of the wind coming in your face that's not so much fun but yeah we're going in into land there's a gift shop there's a tourist information there's a restaurants and lots of stuff inside but I'm certainly gonna miss being out here on the sea there's a bird on That Bird you see it the temperature is -3 degrees celcius it was minus 18 the first night I was here this is a warmer day because of the Sun at night it's gonna get super cold I heard so I got a to buckle up so to speak beautiful beautiful tour this one that was only about $28 believe it or not this is kind of a bargain I thought despite all of the tourists here despite all the tourists is really really cool trip not now I know why everyone has to do this basically takes it takes what you it takes the city you're in a situation you never see like ice out on the sea just not something that's normal so it's worth paying for that experience an hour is perfect you know I don't think I could do this for like five days an hour is enough time we go out to the sea with this ice we get a beer yeah $28 it's really an amazing deal and I like the fact not under any token in another I gotta go inside open it if I was wearing the captain's outfit they would have let me out there but I'm not wearing the captain's outfit so they said you better get in there it's not as much fun inside it's too warm I want to feel the elements feel that frigid air through my teeth of nails and hair all this stuff that you know rigid then I see it now we're coming back into port now that's abashiri that's the city over there you know Thank You salmon I will get something to eat later on I didn't have a banana actually I've bought a sandwich but it gets smashed in my pocket that's all right I should get some sleep too it's about 1:30 just know there's no escape down it's so crowded in the hall I I just better stay here I better just stay here there's no there's no easy way off I don't want to be in line I don't want to be that guy in the line that's pushing through to get off a minute earlier it doesn't make any sense enjoy the ride right why do you want to fight to get off you should fight to stay on that's what I say all right we're coming in this is turning into a pretty cool livestream captain's suit is for photographs only I think I got in a little bit of trouble going outside with it because the Hat could have blown off but the captain he's friendly but I'm not a man of many words the real captain I'm a man of too many words so we'd be a good team together it's pretty cool but when the when the ship was busting through the ice you could feel the impact on you but below on your feet every time I went over an iceberg it was like a little that was a pretty cool sensation we're coming in the dock now like a maze there's people from everywhere on this boat I think I think there's people from and from so many different countries I heard there's a lot of a lot of people from China a lot of people from Taiwan a lot of people from Indonesia Malaysia people who haven't seen snow like you down in Singapore there's some people so just because you hear Chinese it doesn't mean they're from China that's another misconception people speak Cantonese and Mandarin you have to know the difference traditional Jeff Chinese as well it's hard so you know I never really know where people are from because I don't speak Chinese but there's a lot of people from all over the world here which is cool they're from Mars yeah nobody from Mars yet it's not there's not as much ice out here is there I'm great let glad to seize an ally here from Maryland welcome it's a lot of people coming in the chat that are first-time viewers which is good I tried to livestream at different times so you can all catch on catch up Taiwan is not China but the language is is Chinese Mandarin Cantonese he's in Hong Kong Ian from Singapore is here this is the same Singapore that's for sure ha ha ha we got a lot of ice there's really no place for me to go right now there's a line to leave and why would I fight to get off the boat I'm actually having fun it's a I did like the fact that when you write this book out you can let me show you the ticket too when you ride this boat try on the captain's outfit from photos and stuff that was a cool touch this is the ticket this is the aurora it's a boat if they get two parts five times daily it's about $28 for this ride it's a little bit over an hour yeah you definitely have to do this if you're not machete the prison museum the Aurora there's a I knew which is the indigenous people of Hokkaido they're actually more like I guess they said more like their local people from Finland that's what I was told but that was from somebody who lived in Japan so they had never been to Finland so I don't think they had that right he's doing his job we're all doing our jobs that we're back to the Ducks that means we're home that's me by the way alright there's a final destination this is the port that I departed from about an hour ago and the wonderful city of opera shitty shitty ABA Shi RI bird Wow I'm getting hot underneath the window it's like a magnifying glass so the heat is just like compounding the the reason why you don't want to get hot when you're wearing all these layers is then you start to sweat then when you get out it's a really cold situation and sweat really cools you down too much so you have to find a balance find a balance of between heat and and chill cake Laurie yeah a polar bear tip you're gonna have to do better than that but I'm really happy that you could join me on this on this boat trip because I'm filming an episode for the main channel and do these live streams as sort of a support for that to show you something that I won't be featuring too much on the main channel and this content this boat ride is pretty epic the fact that I had 4G LTE like a couple of kilometres out at sea is pretty freaky isn't it I mean I didn't expect that I guess because it's flat the signal travels a lot better off of the sea but it is pretty neat pretty neat to be able to bring you live with me on the ship for the people who are watching that experience I I sometimes will cut on and off it's basically because the content seems repetitive and in my mind I try to break it up into different segments so it's more enjoyable after this I'm gonna go on land and have a drink maybe but it's -3 degrees Celsius today which is like the upper 20s I think in Fahrenheit upper to mid 20s dropping into the teens can below tonight this painting is pretty cool I guess it represents the Aurora it's a real Aurora which is the Northern Lights with the sea below it's pretty cool people really want to get off there's a reflection do you see me waving all right that's our escape land ho lining the boat oh wow there's already a group ready to get on this boat now as soon as we get off they start letting in the next group in the next boat departs at 2:00 p.m. the boats depart every hour and a half which is which is pretty good schedule the last boat is at 3:30 but starting Friday they have a sunset boat which is pretty cool I don't know if it's pretty cool but I'm saying that because it sounds pretty cool but people will get off orderly and they went to buy to into the arc oh they're the captain's jacket that I wore it's 1:15 [Music] nobody's going [Music] I'm excited you know he's stoked after an amazing trip on ice we're just on drifting ice these people look like they've not enjoyed it I've enjoyed it I have enjoyed it a lot this is where we came whoa ice drift baby we did it we rode the aurora and lived to tell the tale yes there was ice yes there was a bird yes there were people taking pictures and yes there was this ship and a captain and lots of other stuff about we'll
