I didn't realize you were keeping with a "schedule"! of all things! But, you don't actually have a very big window of opportunity to do your kind of adventuring; only one very short season before it becomes almost impossible. And, wow, what you guys are showing me is just gorgeous! Thank you. Maybe some day you'll be able to enjoy it more. :-)
Thanks Jim. The weather, along with visa issues, does limit the amount of time we had to spend in this majestic area. But we're so fortunate that we were able to get here, and spend more time than the average tourist anyway. How can we complain? :) Matt
My cat couldn't stop watching Georgie. He shouldn't go outside, because he just isn't that bright, but Georgie running around had him going. I've also got to say, I think this was the best scenery I've seen yet produced by a sailing channel.. Believe me that is saying something as I watch a lot of sailing channels.
Norway is undoubtedly on my bucket list now. How insanely gorgeous a landscape! Kind of wish we'd been able to see more of the towns and interaction with locals, but the photography/filmography was stunning! Thanks for sharing M&J, much appreciated.
A narrative with poetic flourishes became more than descriptive- a shared experience. If being tired and discouraged produces such authenticity then have at it.
If the Norwegian Tourist Board don't use your video footage and commentary they are mad. wonderful stuff Guys. Matt looked like a man on a mission climbing those hills and as ever Jessica stole the show !!!
I swear that some people just troll around and hit the thumbs down without even watching the video. This was some of the best cinematography that I've come to expect from your channel. Seriously great job.
The price is a bit prohibitive understandably but it is surprisingly easy to get around the coast because an extensive grid of plane, sea and road communications can be found pretty much everywhere. :)
Now that had to be your best achorage yet!!! 🤔🤔 maybe ...lol WELL DONE!!! Congratulations on your achievements you should be both very proud. Fairwinds from the @captains.chair
It's "one of the best" :) But I do hope to get to the point that we've seen so many "bests" that we start to forget which ones we liked in the past. -Matt
It looked like Georgie was having a great time exploring those rocks. It's a shame she couldn't satisfy her hunting instincts on this excursion. I can't believe how she goes on hikes with y'all without running off and getting lost! What a GREAT kitty!!! One of the things I enjoy (and can totally relate to!) is your frugalness while exploring this planet. You prove time and time again that you don't have to be rich to be a cruiser!!! Thanks again for sharing your adventures!!!
Your cinematography is phenomenal! This is what you need to be doing. This is your calling. THANK YOU for taking us along and sharing all of these wonderful sights.
It's both good and bad. I'd love to have a playful cat that I could entertain with a toy. Instead, she just looks at me like I'm crazy if I try dangling a string in front of her. She does not play around. Matt
I can't get over how the terrain looks like it must have a million years ago. So stark in the way the mountains and hills rise out of the water. Thank you so must for another wonderful chapter in your adventure.
Most likely the last ice age. Somewhere between 1.8 million and 12,000 years ago. Glaciers carved the steep-sided valleys and the fjords. Is a fjord just a drowned, steep-sided valley?
Sorry for your loss....Me & my putty cat Riley were together for 12 years losing her was definitely like losing my best friend......I miss her everyday!
Nothing to apologize about since we wouldn't have known what you didn't include. So honest to us. Thank you for that. Wow, 1500 steps. Anyone would be exhausted. There is a staircase of 200 steps up to the hill community where I live in California. Health groups and individuals come to use them for workouts and most of them are exhausted. You two did more than 7 times as much as them. So I don't care who passed you...you guys rock (get it, climbed rocks)! Yeh sorry. Good for you, carrying back the trash. Good choice on the trail. Great footage with the drone. You're really doing a great job editing in those shots with the others. I know it's a chore carrying the drone around (even the small Mavic), launching, retrieving, and repacking. So thank you. It's been said before, it takes a lifetime to see everything you want to see, but you've sure done a great job...and took us along as well. Cheers to your beer (and pizza) back at the boat!
Another absolutely stunning video. 🎥👏Georgie you stole the show!! 🐈💜🌊Such a precious & brave cat to sail around the world.🌍🐈 Loved your comical chit chat about older people passing you by on the stairs & that you guys living at “sea level”...very humorous banter. In the US you have to go inland to see the mountains. Norway is absolutely stunning to have the mountains & sea together. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you for sharing your adventures. 🇩🇰💙🇩🇰💙🇩🇰💙
You guys are legends for sailing all the way the Norway!!! Lovin it!! And for two people who don’t get much cardio, you both look to be in pretty darn good shape!
I am always amazed at what you are experiencing on your travels through Norway. I know it is a lot of work producing these Vid's but thank you again for your efforts. You too have brought us living around the world a little task of joy.
Wow the snow/ice up on the south side of the cliffs in July is crazy - Arctic circle goodness! Beautiful scenery and a gorgeous overlook amazing view! Super cool landscape. Thanks for sharing - it was awesome!
i have been following you two for years. this is one of your best videos. Jess's narration is spot on and i could listen to her voice forever. thank you from texas....
Yep, coming to Lofoten at about Easter and leave in september is a good alternative. And having some cans of Nordlandspils (local beer, might be the best in Norway) on each hike. 🍺 I'm so happy you made it all the way to Reine and had a little sniff of what Lofoten is all about. 👍
Wow! The views you guys have - both at anchor and on hill tops - are incredible. The air just looks so crisp and clean too. Love to see the Georgie girl featured again too. Amazing piece of YouTubing. Thanks and cheers, from Singapore.
Truly amazing photography and drone footage! I've read other posters' suggestions that you forward your videos to Norway's tourism bureau, and agree with this idea 100%. If only they knew you were promoting their beautiful country the way you are! The same holds true for basically EVERYWHERE you have traveled. It's a shame for these countries not to take advantage of your excellent coverage. Love you both, plus Georgie, too!
We hope you make it!! Although it does happen to be one of the most beautiful places we've ever been, it has *also* been one of the most 'touristy', so just be prepared for that.
Thanks. The drone wasn't too happy with the wind, but we were able to capture enough before we needed to bring here down that I think you can get the effect of the landscape.
What kind of camera were you using when you were on that rock? Time stamp 6:23... It sure is good seeing you kids having so much FUN!!!! Much love and prayers, be blessed in Jesus name.... BBE...
When we were giving our speech on top of the cliff, the camera we were using was our GoPro Hero5...but we had set up the DSLR on a rock in front of us and were using audio from its external mic. Which is why there's that blooper of me at the beginning...when Matt was setting it up. 😃
Fantastic. Thank you guys for sharing. You were there in July. So I guess you reckon that it is better to make it up there in June? That means starting down from south Norway at least in the middle of May, isn't it?
@@BjrnOttoVasbottenbjovas sure, but in order to make it to Lofoten between late June to early August, you must begin sailing up the West coast as early as May so you can take notice of the weather and also stopping by other places on the way up.
So you touched on something in your video that I have done too and that is looking at Google earth to see shallows when sailing and the sun is just in the wrong place to see well. Don't ask how I learned not to trust it for sand bar locations since they shift! This brings me to wonder why not launch the drone to see the area around you when choosing a place to explore or hike. I can see the issue with being underway but why now when you are on the hook?
There are wonderful tools to download the google maps ahead of time and display on OpenCPN chartviewer. Unfortunately it take internet data I don't usually have available. But Norway is so connected with cell coverage, we used google sat for every anchorage and passage we took in the country. It's a pretty amazing tool. The drone would be a great additional tool to scout ahead. But we usually are trying to conserve the batteries for filming and don't want to "waste" them on a mapping adventure. It's keeping up with the charging in these areas where solar doesn't do a great job. We also struggle to fly the drone off the boat... some people do it well, but we just have so many lines and rigging in the way that we have to be stopped to make it work.
Have you ever lost Georgie? My cat would get into those gaps in the boulders and be gone for hours... I'm jealous that you have a cat that actually listens to you and doesn't just say "peace suckas" and runs off.. haha
We used to be afraid of Georgie doing that, but in the Bahamas we let her roam on a little island that was not big enough for her to get lost on. When she chose to follow us on our walk, we thought....'Ok, maybe she won't run away in other areas, never to be seen again'. 😻
been meaning to ask... How is the little diesel hot air heater working out? I am almost ready to get one for my greenhouse, but I wondered how long it might last. Thanks for all the videos!
I'm still impressed with this little guy. We've had to clean soot out of it once, but I think that was due to an install issue we had, and not the heater itself. I ran a tank out of fuel on purpose so I could permanently switch the heaters draw to another tank. After I did this, I was getting air in the lines, and I over feed diesel into the heater trying to get it running (and search for the air leak). It ran for a day with a lot of smoke, but then stopped and needed to be cleaned out to restart. The only other issue I've had is when at a dock and the wind is blowing really hard from the stern, it wasn't able to compensate for the wind going right up the exhaust and blew itself out. I put a piece of metal over the exhaust to act as a wind diverter and it fired right back up. Matt
@@mattjohnson6716 Thanks for this! Yeah... I was wondering over time if the burner would soot up and how to clean it if it was even cleanable? They make one a little bigger in a case that is self contained to use as a stand alone heater. A bit more money, but it also includes the fuel tank in the case. My greenhouse is small and a little heat source to extend the growing season would be nice. Thanks for answering my question! I am guessing you are no longer up north where you shot these videos?
As always...Jess is gorgeous! Uh ummm ahhhh I mean Norway! lol. Wow, this is so beautiful, this has to be one of my fav spots you've been so far. What is sad about this is; You can see 25-30' to the bottom of the sea, go to shore & the only garbage you see is a not very old boat bumper...Then go to the waters of India & you can't see 25" through the human waste and man made garbage that makes the water look like a pot of chili...Go to Panama/Carribean & the shores are filled with so much man made garbage you couldn't possibly collect it all. That's what is sad about this. *Cut to the old tv commercial where the Indian is standing just outside his forest, next to a highway littered with trash & a tear rolls down his cheek.
Unfortunately, we've found any windward side of an island that is exposed to the Atlantic has trash all over. We found more plastic combs and those knock-off croc sandals in the Bahamas than you can believe... and I'm sure we'd find it up here too. It's usually not a local problem, but from much further away that drifts with the currents and winds into these beautiful areas. It's horrible. Now Indian and the rest of Asia is different and locally caused. But, we saw a lot of recycling going on in Thailand, so it seems they are learning. -Matt
@@mattjohnson6716 Matt is right on the money here, plastic garbage is everywhere and it is so sad. Here is the news story that pushed this issue even more to the forefront of the Norwegian agenda a couple of years ago: www.uib.no/en/universitymuseum/104913/scientists-found-30-plastic-bags-whales-stomach
There has been a bit more since we got to Norway....but ever since we left the Caribbean we seem to be sitting more than we seem to be getting out, lol.
You spent way too little time in Lofoten. It seams like you missed ALL the good spots. I grew up i Lofoten, but are now living in Sandefjord in the southern part of Norway. Getting homesick when watching your fantastic videos.
We use Navionics for our charts, which show places around us we can anchor. For this particular hike, I had searched it on Google, but sometimes we use our MAPS.ME app or sometimes we just land the dinghy and walk...seeing if we come across any paths on our way.
And Norway has a law allowing you to walk anywhere on private lands as long as it's not close to a house. Pretty freeing being able to go anywhere. -Matt
It is just as that in Alpine countries as well. It makes some of the trails possible as private land with zero trespass access in the states would make it impossible. In Europe people have learned to live with boundaries and share the land to a small extent at the same time.
@@danielbuckner2167 We found out Scotland is the same after we missed out on a few sites that were behind fences. Apparently you're just suppose to open the gate and let yourself in. Pretty cool right of passage.
It certainly is and I think having some access to places gives people a sense it is part "theirs" as well and incites a small amount of respect and care for a site. In the UK and on the Iberian PN I recall being told "Never jump a fence or gate! Especially if there sheep nearby, they don't know they can jump the little stone walls." That and always leave a gate open if you find it that way and the same for a closed gate. Making someone go round up livestock is not a good way to win over farmers! I'm sure you guys knew that from growing up in MI. Looking forward to the next vid!
Excellent video as usual! Thanks. BTW, are you familiar with Johan and Milan from the RAN Sailing channel? I follow them as well and their video's are also well done. You are not far from them (Sweden) and I know I'd love to see a video of you guys hooking up. I think you four would really get along great. Not sure of the time delay but they are there on extended stay because she is pregnant. Look forward to your next video!
Hi Jeff!! We do know of RAN sailing, we sometimes communicate with messages through Facebook and Instagram. :) This video was shot in July, so at the moment we are down in Ireland, but we're still hoping for the opportunity to cross paths with them someday.
I love your channel. And I'm a big fan of Norway. The landscape and the fjords are breathtaking. I'm from Sweden and I work in Norway. I spent 3 years in Hareid outside of Ålesund. Looking forward to your next episode. ❤⛵
No wonder Kassa on Delos had friends return from cruising the Caribbean and said they hated cruising and that it didn’t compare to their home waters in Scandinavia.

Cats are fast snack for sea eagles this part of Norway so must pay extra attention to the sky. Thanks for great vid -
We usually let her roam on deck by herself, but the fear of a bird taking her away put an end to that while we were North.
-Matt
Can we assume that is as far North as you got last Summer? Certainly beautiful enough to satisfy any aesthetic sense.
It is. Our last anchorage here is just into 68 degrees north, and from there we crossed to Bodo started working our way back south.
If the Norwegian Tourist Board don't use your video footage and commentary they are mad. wonderful stuff Guys. Matt looked like a man on a mission climbing those hills and as ever Jessica stole the show !!!
You mean it wasn't Georgie who stole the show in this one? 😹
@@MJSailing Definitely Jessica ... Are the Norwegians even aware of ye ? Maybe ye should try to involve them !
I swear that some people just troll around and hit the thumbs down without even watching the video. This was some of the best cinematography that I've come to expect from your channel. Seriously great job.
Comparatively speaking, y'all are adventuring in places very few people in the world get to see! Very nice!!

I thought Norway was the most beautiful place in the world. The Norwegians are pretty reserved, though. Took them a while to warm up to me.
No apologies needed, you folks surpass expectations in ever video. Thank you for sharing.
As always...Jess is gorgeous! Uh ummm ahhhh I mean Norway! lol. Wow, this is so beautiful, this has to be one of my fav spots you've been so far.
What is sad about this is; You can see 25-30' to the bottom of the sea, go to shore & the only garbage you see is a not very old boat bumper...Then go to the waters of India & you can't see 25" through the human waste and man made garbage that makes the water look like a pot of chili...Go to Panama/Carribean & the shores are filled with so much man made garbage you couldn't possibly collect it all. That's what is sad about this.
*Cut to the old tv commercial where the Indian is standing just outside his forest, next to a highway littered with trash & a tear rolls down his cheek.
Yeah, these two are an attractive couple. But Georgie steals the show!!!
Unfortunately, we've found any windward side of an island that is exposed to the Atlantic has trash all over. We found more plastic combs and those knock-off croc sandals in the Bahamas than you can believe... and I'm sure we'd find it up here too. It's usually not a local problem, but from much further away that drifts with the currents and winds into these beautiful areas. It's horrible.
Now Indian and the rest of Asia is different and locally caused. But, we saw a lot of recycling going on in Thailand, so it seems they are learning. -Matt
@@mattjohnson6716 Matt is right on the money here, plastic garbage is everywhere and it is so sad. Here is the news story that pushed this issue even more to the forefront of the Norwegian agenda a couple of years ago: www.uib.no/en/universitymuseum/104913/scientists-found-30-plastic-bags-whales-stomach
As usual a great video. I'm not sure why you think you don't get much exercise, you have been hiking in nearly every episod lately.
There has been a bit more since we got to Norway....but ever since we left the Caribbean we seem to be sitting more than we seem to be getting out, lol.
You spent way too little time in Lofoten. It seams like you missed ALL the good spots.
I grew up i Lofoten, but are now living in Sandefjord in the southern part of Norway.
Getting homesick when watching your fantastic videos.
Grate video
How do y'all find those spots to anchor, and know where you can go walking/hiking and exploring...such as public lands?
We use Navionics for our charts, which show places around us we can anchor. For this particular hike, I had searched it on Google, but sometimes we use our MAPS.ME app or sometimes we just land the dinghy and walk...seeing if we come across any paths on our way.
And Norway has a law allowing you to walk anywhere on private lands as long as it's not close to a house. Pretty freeing being able to go anywhere. -Matt
It is just as that in Alpine countries as well. It makes some of the trails possible as private land with zero trespass access in the states would make it impossible. In Europe people have learned to live with boundaries and share the land to a small extent at the same time.
@@danielbuckner2167 We found out Scotland is the same after we missed out on a few sites that were behind fences. Apparently you're just suppose to open the gate and let yourself in. Pretty cool right of passage.
It certainly is and I think having some access to places gives people a sense it is part "theirs" as well and incites a small amount of respect and care for a site. In the UK and on the Iberian PN I recall being told "Never jump a fence or gate! Especially if there sheep nearby, they don't know they can jump the little stone walls." That and always leave a gate open if you find it that way and the same for a closed gate. Making someone go round up livestock is not a good way to win over farmers! I'm sure you guys knew that from growing up in MI. Looking forward to the next vid!
How can i get my own St. Barth hat with the thick bill like yours? Are those LED lights on the front of the bill?
No leds, just a design. They are from Code Zero Sportswear. -Matt
Just saw another TH-cam video by Tony Fleming, with a similar opinion to yours on Reine!
Excellent video as usual! Thanks. BTW, are you familiar with Johan and Milan from the RAN Sailing channel? I follow them as well and their video's are also well done. You are not far from them (Sweden) and I know I'd love to see a video of you guys hooking up. I think you four would really get along great. Not sure of the time delay but they are there on extended stay because she is pregnant. Look forward to your next video!
Hi Jeff!! We do know of RAN sailing, we sometimes communicate with messages through Facebook and Instagram. :) This video was shot in July, so at the moment we are down in Ireland, but we're still hoping for the opportunity to cross paths with them someday.
@@MJSailing 👍
I love your channel. And I'm a big fan of Norway. The landscape and the fjords are breathtaking. I'm from Sweden and I work in Norway. I spent 3 years in Hareid outside of Ålesund.
Looking forward to your next episode. ❤⛵
Thank you so much for following along, we're glad you love Norway as much as we do!!😀
Great to see you enjoy your self, but I have to say you only have scratched the surface of what is too see in this part of the country.
Perhaps go even further north
If only we had the time!! Wanted to be out of Norway by mid-September to miss some of the North Sea storms.
Svalbard! Maybe that's a bit too far on a small boat though...
Ah now we're talking
Georgie is a good girl.
☕️☕️☕️☕️😀🤗🤗🤗🤗👌

The weather graphic looked a little like www.windy.com Useful resource
No wonder Kassa on Delos had friends return from cruising the Caribbean and said they hated cruising and that it didn’t compare to their home waters in Scandinavia.
True, you definitely won't get these sights in the Caribbean. 😃
