Dear Erik, As the years go by, your tales of the trips to Greenland via Shetland, Faroe and Iceland are becoming a saga … with each episode I come here and watch with sustained pleasure, Fair winds and currents, Emmanuel
At 12 years old, my friend and I set out from Randaberg in a 12 foot 9.9 hp dingy to Håstein without telling our parents. The weather started getting bad before we got there and our landing was exciting to say the least. We didn't dare go back until things calmed down. To this day I still haven't told my parents about that day, but your videos have been part of reawakening my need for adventure at 46 years old. Du e ein sta jævel fra ein te en aen. 👍
When sailing dead downwind with enough wind, like you did starting from the Shetlands, I put on full Genoa and no mainsail. Thus there is no masking between sails, and no danger from sudden jibe from the main and its skull-breaking boom... I find it efficient and confortable. Keep the images coming, cheers !
I would be great to see you film the towns you visit too, the streets, the restaurants, the foods etc, so one can get an understanding of the places you visit. Thanks for your uploads and your bravery sailing those waters. I cannot imagine being in an open long boat navigating those currents. The Vikings are the absolute definition of courage,
Hey Erik, just wanted to let you know how much I love your content. It's been fun following you and seeing your progression as a sailor. And you've served as a big inspiration for me to get out on the water ... with no BS, just sailing 😂!
Thanks, Erik. I'm a 3rd generation Scandinavian and I want so badly to sail, but will settle for watching you. I really appreciate your videos and you getting into the history both culturally and geologically as well how currents, tides and depth affect your sailing
I'm really envious that you saw the sights that we enjoyed so much on land on Shetland from the sea. There is so much Viking heritage to be explored and enjoyed by anyone thinking of visiting the Shetland Islands.
Hey Erik, i’ll comment more on your video later, but wanted to make a recommendation for flying your headsail wing on wing. There is a pole for getting the genoa or jib out away from the boat called a whisker pole. I have one on my boat and it’s easy to fly and does a great job of keeping the headsail out away from the boat when you’re going dead down wind. Even in very light air, the pole will stiffen the sail so it doesn’t flogg when there’s no pressure in the sail. If you don’t have a spinnaker pole track on the front of your mast, you’ll need to install one so that you can clip the mast end of the pole to a ring that adjusts up and down the Spinnaker pole track. Here’s a short video that shows you the basic principles if you don’t know already. There are other videos out there that might give you some idea of what you’ll need, like a topping lift among other things. Because I single hand where the wind can be light at times, my whisker pole is a must have item. th-cam.com/video/czoi63XfWTQ/w-d-xo.html
Eric, thanks for these great and candid videos of your expeditions in the North Atlantic. A bit of a harsh environment for me (more a Mediterranean sailor), but I really learn a lot from you
Simply wonderful! Great shooting as usual! Even when I learn a lot from your boat's setup, let me give you 2 advices: For the leaks in the mainsheet track , use Butyl, it will never fail, when I saw your installation I already felt that had chances to leak. And one more thing, your swivel needs a shackle and 3 links of the chain between the anchor and the swivel in order to avoid lateral force to the swivel when anchored, that can make your swivel fail. If you check the KONG swivel instructions they strongly advise it. Change it asap! 👍
Our real modern day Viking, onward we go… no bullshit. Your video quality is amazing and so is your single handed seamanship. I think you like the cold allot but would love to see you sail in warmer waters😅. Travel safely and continue to entertain us!
You won't give up till u get there... toughness and endurance combined with outstanding footage and like always a perfect story!!! All the best for you reaching your goal! Sail save and fair winds, Erwin
Thank you for taking us to these remote places and capturing the wild nature with your incredible drone shots. always enjoy your videos. cheers and greetings from the north sea island sylt. :)
Klaksvik - already at 62.2N (Anchorage, Alaska would be at 61.2N and Reykjavik at 64.1, the Arctic Circle at 66.5N). People in Northern America generally have no clue how far to the North "Europe" still lives. Vancouver is about at Paris latitude and Seattle and Quebec City are a tiny bit more North than Milan. In the Southern Hemisphere, 62.2S gets you in Antarctica, about at Marsh Airport - outside the Antarctic Circle (66.56S)
@@sanfranciscobay - call it Freshco - it's not very warm. In Europe, that latitude and being bordered by the big open (Atlantic) ocean to the West, gets you about in Lisbon, Portugal. There, January is the coolest month with average min/max in F at 46.4/59 and warmest month in summer with min/max in F gives 66.2/82.4. Jan would have 9 days of rain, July 0, and August 1.
Top notch shots and great storytelling, as always! I agree with the comment that a whisker pole would improve downwind performance, however it is one more piece of equipment to handle on the foredeck, so it is a bit of a toss-up on the benefit/cost equation. Wishing you fair winds and good health, 😎
I once sailed around Start Point in the Uk on a spring tide in bad weather and experienced horrendous overfalls due to the strong current. Just did not expect it to be as bad as it was. So feel your pain there Erik
5,979th tag-along view will set sail with Erik... 3:11 - I've been there to see THAT. Had to post the LIKE at 10:20 - "Much better than Netflix." Indeed, Skipper - no comparison! :0) 14:56 - 'stuck' on the Faroe Island/s sound like a good thing; 'drink it all in while you can'. 20:28 - what a sight to behold! WOW!
Yesss mate I have been waiting for this video. I’m at work still at the moment (run a little shop in the North of the Scottish Highlands). As soon as I close later I’m watching this with a Cuppa Tea. Cant wait mate 👏🏼
Praying to the Gods you make it (or already made it) safe and sound and you reach your goal! I think maybe by now you would have already made it, but I will wait to see as you release the videos, I don't want to spoil the adventure. Inspiring... I want to learn how to sail, and I have a goal to take some lessons and learn, and maybe one day, who knows... (I am in NY, USA, a couple hrs north of NYC... so I have to travel to take lessons a little bit, and do it at the right time of year, and I am always working, so to set aside the time I must be very intentional, and have yet to do it) Best Regards, great videos!
Have you promised your girlfriend that you will use your lifeline? Good on you. I believe in personal choice but sometimes you need to make compromises for your loved ones! Keep up the good work. I watch lots of sailing channels but yours is the one I wait for the most! Bon vent from an Englishman with a boat company in La Rochelle , France😀
haha how appropriate I visited the replica of the Gokstadt here in Geneva IL. Viking ship that sailed from Norway to Chicago in 1893 21 MEN 28 DAYS 3674 MILES
Hi Erik thanks for a nother great sailor episode. I would ask you, if you try think about bigger project ? As you know, to many people want to be like you, but buy used sail boat is expensive and take too much time for ordinary people. Let's try make a first expedition by you command, i think yours true supporters wants to be a part of this sailing project. I think this is something new and we waiting for it. Thank you and good wind.

The quality of your images and editing is second to none.

Thank you Erik for entertaining all,of us.

Kjenner meg igjen i historien din! 😇🙌
Classic story!!😂
Eric, simply exceptional cinematography and editing. Best NPN advertisement on Utube Sailing! Best with the next leg, stay safe.

Can you do it with a symmetrical spinnaker (pole or no pole)?
Absolutely
Your production values are top notch. The visuals from the drone are especially memorable.
I would be great to see you film the towns you visit too, the streets, the restaurants, the foods etc, so one can get an understanding of the places you visit.

I'm really envious that you saw the sights that we enjoyed so much on land on Shetland from the sea. There is so much Viking heritage to be explored and enjoyed by anyone thinking of visiting the Shetland Islands.
Shetland is packed with Viking history all over the islands❤️😍
For the rest of us (non vikings) its the only way we can see it and still... live 😅
Эрик в родной стихии. Привет!
Thank you Eric for sharing the journey and the history
Please don’t make us wait too long for the next episode! Your channel is outstanding- I love it!

Yesss! More Erik. Thanks for uploading, and I hope the wait is not too long for Chapter 3. Good luck on your voyage :)
It wont be that long, couple of weeks until next!
Unreal. Actually sailing with a Viking to the home of Vikings. What a journey.
Meeresfahrt auf einer Yacht ist herrlich schön 🌊🌊⛵️🐯
Liebsten Dank 💜 für es zeigen⚓️
This video is a work of art! Thanks Erik!
Your channel has inspired me to buy a sailboat! 1983 O’Day 30. I look forward to your next leg!
Thank you for bringing me to the sea as a landlocked sea lover from Utah in America. I have lots of Nordic heritage thank you!
we are with you all the way, as you attempt your 4th voyage to Iceland. Can't wait to see the next series.
Thank you Erik. Landlocked in the lands of trophy hunters and so forth. Your videos help myself to cope. Good health to you!
Stunning camera work, great narration and very informative
Thank you!
Our real modern day Viking, onward we go… no bullshit. Your video quality is amazing and so is your single handed seamanship. I think you like the cold allot but would love to see you sail in warmer waters😅. Travel safely and continue to entertain us!
The images and the editing are absolutely amazing Eric. Can't wait for the next episode!!! Thanks for sharing!.
Different breed this nordish folks! NBJS is a perfect fit
"Sailing in the wake of my forefathers"...being half Norwegian myself, that was fkn awesome!
Congratulations Skipper Eric! Breathtaking scenary, fantastic film making. Well done sir and thank you so much for sharing 👍👏👏👏
This series is on another level! Hope to sail these waters one day too
I absolutely admire your videos; they are beautifully shot.
Fair Winds Erik on your passage to Greenland 🇬🇱 🇳🇴.

As a new sailor this is so inspiring thank you for the great opportunity you give us to travel with you

All the best for you reaching your goal!
Sail save and fair winds, Erwin
Thanks Rafael!
22:22 - STUNNING VIEWS!! WOW!! 24:31.
From 🇦🇺, love your channel, you really capture what it’s like aboard a small monohull on passage. Great filming and editing.
Thanks for the vid.
I can't stand straight downwind anymore and found jibing on broadreaches gets me there much more comfortably and usually as quick.
Thank you for taking us to these remote places and capturing the wild nature with your incredible drone shots. always enjoy your videos. cheers and greetings from the north sea island sylt. :)
Absolutely stunning!!! Greetings from Poland and currentless Baltic Sea.
Great shots of the waterfalls being blown backwards.
You truly are an amazing story teller, loved every minute of it
Thanks Erik, great episode, I love the guest jetty complete with picnic table - so welcoming !
What an amazing voyage! Good luck on the final leg!
The Faroe Islands look so beautiful and mystical❤
Superb sailing channel. Thanks so much for producing such great content.
My favourite TH-cam channel - and I watch a lot of TH-cam!

Brilliant video… each new episode is better. Fantastic series…enjoying every minute…
Thank you ! Fantastic footage ❤
Well done. Amazing footage and spectacular landscapes! Safe trip!
Top notch shots and great storytelling, as always!

Wishing you fair winds and good health,

I have two poles, but its a mess to set up. Done it a couple of times🤯🌊
@@erikaanderaa yes, so just put full Genoa and no main. Easy and comfy.
I once sailed around Start Point in the Uk on a spring tide in bad weather and experienced horrendous overfalls due to the strong current. Just did not expect it to be as bad as it was. So feel your pain there Erik
So well done! Thank you Erik!
Erik ... love the video's ... admit I curl up in a ball in the corner every time you bring out the gennaker!!!😃

Cant wait mate 👏🏼
Top video as always. What a fatastic view of the Faroe islands.
Imagine, if people could realize that sailing is 1000 times better than Netflix.
Beautiful report Erick*Good luck
Awesome Erik, another awe inspiring video. The videography - Wow!! What amazing footage
Lighthouse bagging .. Muckle Flugga is a special one. Super sailing channel thank-you.
Incredible lighthouse. Thank you🙏
Great images and music again. I think you might install a wisker pole to keep the jib happy when going straight downwind. Very Viking!

Good luck Erik. You surely deserve to reach Greenland this time.
Well done Erik. Another great video from a master sailer. Keep up the great adventures
BACK TO THE FAROES!!! Go ERIC!!
Wow wow .. what beautiful shots, made my heart beat faster.. thank you ❤
Great video Erik. Let the odyssey continue!
Outstanding sailing and videography….from Australia
Wow! Just wow! I am just astounded with that beautiful scenerey! ❤
Show Erik, great adventure, your videos have very good editing. Thanks
Great content again. Thx. Stay safe. Far winds and following seas
Yeah you wore your harness 😊 !
All the best to you!
Breath taking
Thanks Erik,
For one more amazing video.
This bloke is fairdinkum, rigididge. No pouncing around in the Bahamas. 🇦🇺👍🍺🍺
I'm not sure whether to think of you as a sailor first or a film maker. I've concluded that you are clearly both!
Great vid as usual Eric! keep these wonderful vids coming. from New Zealand.
Very enjoyable video Erik, thank you. 👍👍
Have you promised your girlfriend that you will use your lifeline? Good on you. I believe in personal choice but sometimes you need to make compromises for your loved ones! Keep up the good work.

Well he was wearing it….maybe next time clip on to something.
I have a Jack line I clip onto from the cabin, going right round my boat.
Nice job Erik. I’ve missed your videos.
Stunning scenery in this video, especially where the wind was blowing the waterfall completely off the cliff. Did you run into Mike Horn?
I really like this channel.
So happy you posted another video
Nice video and epic footage as usual 👍
Thank you!
I would like to see where you eat and sleep on these islands. What foods they eat and what they drink. Love the channel and my NBJS burgee
Those videos make my day :)
haha how appropriate I visited the replica of the Gokstadt here in Geneva IL. Viking ship that sailed from Norway to Chicago in 1893 21 MEN 28 DAYS 3674 MILES
