No land lubbers like me can't, but thanks to brave crazy sailors, we can get a very good idea. I am very attracted to the intimidating power of the sea and I love to watch this. So keep sailing, keep safe.
Excellent sense of the conditions. So often, when you film the sea, from the cockpit, it looks so much more mild when you watch it later, but here you can really tell how crazy the sea and wind are. Your content is as ever inspirational. Well done!
Very inspiring to be extremely stupid and put yourself in harm’s way for some stupid TH-cam views or to try to prove how tough you are or what? I don’t get it 😂😂
Reality TV at its finest. Self produced, edited, filmed (mostly), and featuring the only guy in the video. Real consequences, no net. Always look forward to your new videos! Thanks for taking me on the ride all the way in Alaska!
I've been watching a number of sailing videos lately. Yours are excellent. I'm 76 now and no longer sail but it was and is one of my passions in life. One thing I learned early on was to sleep with my feet facing forward. if you hit something hard in these increasingly trashy waters you're less likely to break your neck! Keep on trucking mama!
A crisis does not build character, it reveals it. You handled those incredible conditions with determination and calm. Bravo my friend. I would have remained at the bar in Lerwick! :-)
Wellll…some channels have bikinis and white sand snorkeling…others rely on dramasailing…the last off course are more respectable….in a way…..but as patrick mentioned,he would be at the bar,if you want to sail a ( little) storm on a 40 hrs crossing…its your own choice. But they all serve the same goal….clicks and patreondonations?? By the way,that family yacht who did that journey with you where they ok?😊
@@erikaanderaa Good idea! I personally am inspired by your visit to shetland,far oe,iceland…..you will probably see this epic journey next year in my year overvieuw….but first …wait for gooooood fine weather!🫣( sorry eric i could resist it)
@@guidouytterhaegen They also serve the goal to entertain, teach and excite new sailors like me. Next year I am heading also for the Orkneys then Shetland so it's great to see what's in store for me and how to handle it. Invaluable sailing experience here by a fearless sailor.
Poetry. Pure poetry. A sailor that knows his boat as much as he trusts her, and doesn't second guess his actual ability and experience. An absolute pleasure to watch. My humble thanks.
Inderdaad, het vertrouwen tussen man en boot is prachtig, maar kan alleen tot zulke prestaties leiden als de zeiler is zeer ervaren en zijn grenzen kent. Hulde !!!
NBJS never fails to amaze me with their courage and resilience! Watching Erik sail through storms is both heart-pounding and inspiring. Keep up the incredible work, NBJS
Ive zero interest in sailing, Im fearful of the sea and the unknown, but your stories of the seas completely captures me, your determination is unmatched!
The sea is scary when one doesn't respect it but you don't need to be crossing the ocean in bad weather to experience sailing, you can try it in a lake on a warm summers day with a cold beverage all the same.
Absolutely hats off to you Sir!, I circumnavigated the British Isles including the Shetlands in June about 2,800 Nms & we suffered unseasonable weather conditions & winds the whole way round! Gales with 40+ knts wind & a "moderate" I use the term very loosely seas for 3/4 of the way. My only saving grace was I never once felt sea sick either on deck on watch or below cooking thank god.
You are a warrior. Your videos are the only sailing videos that have me truly frightened, anxious, and genuinely enthralled!! I want to hear jumping up and down rooting for you. Absolutely amazing. On top of all that you are able to video during. Bravo!!!!
You've never seen this one and the ones before/after? Biggest Waves We've Ever Seen - DAY 10 / North Atlantic Crossing - Sailing Uma [Step 192.10] th-cam.com/video/PBwAxmUGBOU/w-d-xo.html I have to say, though, the North Sea and rocky coast of Norway, wild.
Now that was a real NBJS video. No useless kiddies hold into the camera, no boring catamaran sailing. Just a sinmple (ok...) and raw sailing trip in ugly weather. Amazing how your little boat masters these conditions.
I’m hoping you make it to Greenland in your fourth attempt! I’ve been following you since the first! I’ve followed many sailors on TH-cam over the years and you are the only one I still follow. Keep it up, and welcome to Greenland this summer!!
Imagine if that diesel heater smoke started in the middle of the night while you were asleep. I assume you have a CO2 Detector inside that would have sounded an alarm.
Wow what a ride. I couldn't believe the amount of heel Tessie was doing as you left Lerwick running a tiny bit of foresail. Tough conditions , the boat is a credit to you, you keep her in top condition. You've looked after her and she has looked after you. You are so brave, a warrior of the seas. Take care and fair winds.
As a seamans daughter i know the powers of the sea. You must have an inmense trust in your boat. and yourself. To sail in that weather conditions back to Noway. Respect...Greetings from the Netherlands.
It's amazing what you can endure with a strong spirit. Thirty-four hours without decent rest is taxing on the body and mind, and at the same time, arriving at the port is very challenging. Well done, Erik. Cheers.
Out of all his films this gives the best sense of total aloneness at sea. The awesomeness of our 'little' 😂 North Sea. And how scared and human he is. Absolutely brilliant.
Jeg var vettskremt allerede før du var kommet til Brexey Lighthouse! Og jeg visste hva som kom etterpå! Jeg så angsten i øynene dine et par ganger, og det var hardt! Men for et mesterverk av en video du har laget!! Under fryktinngytende forhold!! Love mum❤❤
What a great, edge-of-the-seat video. Very exciting. I love how you recorded the transition from outside to inside - great video work! Awesome video, thanks for sharing!
Love your videos! My opinion, best sailing videos on the internet. So… be careful out there. Not having you showing up on my TH-cam notifications anymore would be tragic. 🙏👍
Your courage in this brutal North Sea environment is stunning. You are certainly on a short list of the greatest solo mariners in the world. Nice job man.
It’s a great sailor that can deal with the weather Gods and what they can send your way. But it takes a great man to deal with the conditions that your boat sends you!! One of your best trips home!! I’m proud to say that I too sail with the NBJS burgee on my boat!! Thanks & All the best Richard.
I’ve been following you for sometime now, and have never been affected more than this video, your courage, resolve, and fearless acceptance of your journey is simply amazing. You have given me the confidence and inspired me to embrace the beauty and absolute undeniable power of the sea, and all she brings. please, never abandoned your sharing of who you are and what you do, I admire and respect you without hesitation.
Definitely your best video so far , even better than the "force ten" vid . That following sea took me straight back to 79 . You are a cooler and its probably one of your greatest strengths . Thank you Erik and Tesse 👍🏻.
I don’t know if I just watched complete recklessness or supreme confidence in boat and equipment. Probably both. Erik, this is flying too close to the sun. Don’t get Icarus’ Syndrome. It only takes a small, but significant failure of any part of the boat, and this goes from being entertaining to tragic. Safety first… requires margin or buffer. Don’t be on the limit. Stay safe!
See, and that’s what I like about you Eric. Honest about your limitations, both in knowledge, self reflections on actions, and material. A true master of calculated risks
In such conditions I always thought that having a little bit of both jib and main open will make a boat more stable and safe. Are you having jib only to reduce possible complications and issues with a cost of less stability?
That was nail-biting, Erik! Absolutely epic. So glad you made it home safely. Totally inspiring the way you stayed calm during those beast-mode conditions! You've some serious sailing skills, my man.
The incredible ability you show and the way you romanticize the dangers of the North Sea keep this older man dreaming of those days when I also sailed alone. There is a soul feeling one gets being among those powerful waves that can only be satisfied by going out there. Thank you for that.
Man! We have no people like you from entire of our population from South korea. We are people far from sailing. Such brave you are cheering from S. Korea
It's hard enough to sail in those conditions. It's much harder to do it alone. To Also document it that well is absolute mastery! Thanks for the inspiration.
Everyone gets scared at some point. Courage is carrying on and pushing through even though you are scared. Heck, I was scared just watching, I can’t imagine what you were feeling at times. Just amazing.

How much does a boat like the one shown here in this video cost in American dollars?
Poeple who have never sailed before, will truly never know what its like. The camera never shows how hard it truly is. Very well Documented Erik.
It can be terrifying but it's exhilarating at the same time. Addictive.
No land lubbers like me can't, but thanks to brave crazy sailors, we can get a very good idea. I am very attracted to the intimidating power of the sea and I love to watch this. So keep sailing, keep safe.
@@mrmanch204 He's all but crazy, mrm etc.
@@mrmanch204 the camera moves with the boat, it does not show you how much the boat is moving.

No wonder the boat was stable in that storm. Center of gravity pushed way down by a massive pair of balls.
Hats off to you sir.
Very inspiring.
I think the correct nautical terminology is BALLast
Massive Balls acting as Gyroscopes 😂

Biggest Waves We've Ever Seen - DAY 10 / North Atlantic Crossing - Sailing Uma [Step 192.10]
th-cam.com/video/PBwAxmUGBOU/w-d-xo.html
I have to say, though, the North Sea and rocky coast of Norway, wild.
Waves are always made comparably tiny when filmed. Those did not look small on film - so there must have been some monsters visible to the human eye.
Probably one of the best videos I’ve watched so far, on any channel. Not that I want to encourage another crossing like that, I’m glad you’re safe.
Now that was a real NBJS video. No useless kiddies hold into the camera, no boring catamaran sailing. Just a sinmple (ok...) and raw sailing trip in ugly weather. Amazing how your little boat masters these conditions.

Balls of steel. That wave came into the boat I literally cursed out loud . Truly you are an amazing young man. You know what you are doing out there.
Imagine if that diesel heater smoke started in the middle of the night while you were asleep. I assume you have a CO2 Detector inside that would have sounded an alarm.
Those soundtracks at the end of the video made me feel like I was watching some movie. Amazing work!
Wow what a ride. I couldn't believe the amount of heel Tessie was doing as you left Lerwick running a tiny bit of foresail. Tough conditions , the boat is a credit to you, you keep her in top condition. You've looked after her and she has looked after you. You are so brave, a warrior of the seas. Take care and fair winds.
Thanks Dave! Tessie is well taken care of everyday☺️
This has got to be the most suspenseful wackiest craziest stunt I have ever seen a sailor post on youtube. Had me on the edge of my seat.
A mix of experience, courage and madness!!! Congrats Sailor!
As a seamans daughter i know the powers of the sea. You must have an inmense trust in your boat. and yourself. To sail in that weather conditions back to Noway. Respect...Greetings from the Netherlands.
You must have a guardian angel buddy. Sea worthy boat and sailor!
I like all of this!🦾

Awesome I love the north sea And especially your sailing abilities. Great show I’m not a sailor, but I love watching you tackle the rough seas.
You knew you were living and learned what you could handle. Much respect.
Out of all his films this gives the best sense of total aloneness at sea. The awesomeness of our 'little' 😂 North Sea. And how scared and human he is. Absolutely brilliant.
Thanks
Love your epic travels on the north sea
Your videos are a wonderful gift. Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for your sailing. Best wishes from North Carolina USA.
Jeg var vettskremt allerede før du var kommet til Brexey Lighthouse! Og jeg visste hva som kom etterpå! Jeg så angsten i øynene dine et par ganger, og det var hardt!
Men for et mesterverk av en video du har laget!! Under fryktinngytende forhold!! Love mum❤❤
Takk mamma, nå kan du slappa av igjen❤️😇
🥰
What an insane pace the edit of this video has. Wonderful content and storytelling, Erik. I enjoyed all 37 minutes of this.
New sub here🙋🙋🙋I am a retired seafarer sailing almost 40 years in all oceans,thank u for sharing same experienced,mate👍👍👍👏👏👏see u on ur next voyage🙋🙋🙋
Bet the pub looked better half way along that nutty ride lol, be safe crazy man.
WOW ….. absoluten Respekt vor deinem Mut, mit den Wellen zu tanzen ❤
What a journey! Thanks for sharing. These sailing videos are, in my opinion, the best videos on TH-cam.
Cool, apreciate it!
Bloody hell, what a heck of a scary passage. Thanks for sharing the video, that was wild!!
We love your spirit. Living vicariously through your skill as a sailer. Well done
Phew! That was an adventure. Thanks for sharing Erik.
What a great, edge-of-the-seat video. Very exciting. I love how you recorded the transition from outside to inside - great video work! Awesome video, thanks for sharing!
Du bist ein echter Nordmann und etwas wahnsinnig.
Merci Erik !!!
Tes vidéos sont excellentes. Tu choisis des conditions de navigation qui me rendent très nerveuse 😅😅.
Bravo 🙌
Thanks for supporting🙌
Love your videos! My opinion, best sailing videos on the internet. So… be careful out there. Not having you showing up on my TH-cam notifications anymore would be tragic. 🙏👍
I enjoyed the very excited and fearful voyage in the very rough North sea. Thanks.
The best sailing channel by far. I love all the tech you have on board.
I cannot swim, but I’m always pulled into watching these white knuckle sailing shows. This was nuts, glad you’re safe.
In those conditions would not matter whether or not you can swim.
It must be very uncomfortable in such a small boat with such GIANT BALLS!
You have my upmost respect Erik, the confidence in your own abilities and the trust in your boat allowed you to undertake this epic sail, 👊🏻
Your courage in this brutal North Sea environment is stunning. You are certainly on a short list of the greatest solo mariners in the world. Nice job man.
Wow...that was a journey...awesome to watch...👍
In the forces this would be described as "Character building". Night time changes everything. Handled like a pro. Good stuff Erik! Chris 👍
Best sailing channel by far.
man, all my respect but you are crazy !! you are the definition of courage though.
What an incredible video. One of the best things I've seen on the web. You have nerves of steel!
“The sea gulls don’t care, they never care.”
Perfect
Fue un viaje increible muy bien filmado a pesar de la fuerte tormenta felicitaciones!
Duck me ,I'm wrecked after watching that. That was biblical. Tessie is a testament to the love you lavish on her.
Awesome, just awesome Sailing ability and terrifying!
Thanks!
That was truly crazy. In the dark, terrifying.
So grateful you got home safely. Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure!
Erik, you have balls of steel. What a journey!!
You truly embody the human spirit! Thank you for sharing this with us
It’s a great sailor that can deal with the weather Gods and what they can send your way.

I've watched quite a lot of sailing videos, but man, this one's out there with the best,if not the best.
Brilliant!
Impressive! Your ability to maintain a level head in the face of those boat problems, while in such a heavy sea state, is a triumph.
Fantastic sail. Well done Erik.
This was my first video of yours that I have watched. It won't be the last. Your production techniques and storytelling are top notch.
Good luck for your Greenland trip. Let's hope that your Viking Gods give you better health and weather this time around.
🙏
