This Northern latitudes adventure of yours has been a very nice change of pace from the typical, tropics-tour vlogs being produced by a majority of other popular sailing/cruising channels!!! (yes, for all the Uma fans out there - I’m aware that she also has her keel plying through the cold waters ) MJS has been creating quality programs for years but, you two have really outdone yourselves with this series!!! The scenery has been absolutely breathtaking and, with each video - I’ve learned something new & interesting about the area your visiting!! ( Norway’s Department of Tourism should be exceedingly grateful to MJ Sailing for the great job you’ve done showcasing their beautiful country!!!) Well Done Jessica!!! Well done Matt!!! Can’t wait to see where you take us next week! Cheers 🍻
Check out Drake Paragon,,, they made a splendid series of videos cruising Greenland and is now on their way to Norway via Iceland (though it would be crazy this time of the yr)
So, I have to say this; I've been watching the two of you for a few years now and have watched every single episode. These last few months have been amazing to see Matt come out of his shell. I've always thought of him as so reserved until recently. His excitement for the natural beauty is quite a breath of fresh air. Keep it up you two!!!
I noticed that too! I really hope my husband comes out of his shell a bit... he is a cinematographer so feels comfortable behind the camera rather in front of it
Great quality video, and kudos to you for heading for the Northern hemisphere. There’s so much stunning scenery and nature to be enjoyed there. I love the fact that you give the viewers time to enjoy the scenery in your videos, without bombarding them with annoyingly obtrusive loud music or too much chat. You have the balance just right. Thank you. I just subscribed.
At first I was thinking, “it’s just like river rapids, no big”. Then you realize this is the OCEAN, and your entire perspective shifts. Thanks for sharing this with us!
My first experience being on the water came as a teenager on a Hobie 16. An entire summer's worth of fun. Now I have a 21ft. power boat (35 years later) and the biggest difference I see between sailors and power boaters is that sailors think 20mph is fast. Wish I was on the blue with wind for power but as it stands, my 200hp outboard (55mph) supplies a different kind of fun. Norway looks pretty dreamy...even if it doesn't get dark at night. :-)
Oh it does get dark in the northern parts of Norway, it's just all piled up inthe the winter time. From ~December to ~February it is dark 24/7, longer the further north you go.
Growing up on Lake Michigan and all the nearby inland lakes, we only did power boating in our youth. We never stepped foot on a sailboat until 2008, a week before we bought our Hunter 240 to enjoy the Summers and fall on. 😀
Great video guys! Very well done. I've been living in this town now for about 15 yrs and love to explore the surrounding wilderness as much as I can as it is breathtaking on so many levels. The Saltstraumen is still one of my favorite fishing spots. I'm also an American with a pretty strong sailing background being born and raised in good 'ol Newport, RI. Keep up the great work.
Everyone else is sailing the Caribbean, or crossing oceans in tropical latitudes. The two of you decided to go north to Norway instead. I thought your trip might be boring, but I watched a bit anyway. Boy was I wrong! This is a fascinating place. I loved watching the rapid tide. It would be amazing at full strength in the mid 20's. The scenery is beautiful. I was also thinking of practical things. Were there any signs in English in that laundromat? Or, did you just have to figure out the washing machine by common sense (a.k.a. trial & error.) You are motivating me to buy a boat and discover the world. Looks like all you need to be successful on You Tube, besides a boat, is a drone and a beautiful woman! Yours is. (Not talking about the drone either.)
I'd drop everything in a heartbeat for the opportunity to sail the arctic lats! The tropics are nice in spots but eventually you end up at the mercy of pirates. :)
Wow, mother nature can really put on a show. You always do such a great job of letting us experience these awesome places given the limitations of our recording devices. You get close ups, drone shots, multiple perspectives and then your narration and reactions (even the Batman comical sound effects). I'm surprised with that much water moving and changing directions constantly day in and day out, that it hasn't eroded that island holding the bridge support and the adjacent banks. Those boat rides must be crazy, too. Missing your bus was the best thing that could happen! Another viewer commented about not getting Pandemonium out of their heads. I really like the intro and the end with that music. I've come to associated that with your Vlog and really love it. Thanks. Another great episode. The quality keeps getting better and better. A real professional job. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Beautiful scenery and video. Every time I am by fast water like that (ex: Niagara falls) I get mystified mentally and gotta be pulled away or else I'd fall in.
Not bad, but you really need to checkout the Horizontal Falls Talbot Bay in Western Australia. The tidal flow is not only fast, but the tidal change of 10+m makes it one the biggest tidal changes too.
I went there in 1986 to fish from that bridge together with my parents. It’s amazing to stand there and hoist big cods from that high up. We stood there many hours and saw the water change direction. A lifetime experience that I will never forget.
Hello my good friends, my....I’ve got to commend you both for not just jumping in and going for a extremely fast swim ?!.?! How deep is the water there at the area where it looks so dark, and also where the water looks all most white??? I wonder if Michael Phelps goes there to train?....ha ha. So I think that I asked this question before, and may have missed the answer, ok so when you guys tie up your boat or get into a slip, is there a charge???... or when you anchor out a little way from the Marina in maybe a cove like place??? How much did it cost you guys to take that bus to that cool looking bridge???...to do your laundry??? I hope I’m not asking too many questions. I must say that you both look really good, and so happy, you might say it’s the camera, but I’m sure it is you are doing the thing that you guys LOVE, and putting out there on the Internet for all of us to see through your eyes!!! How come you guys didn’t get closer or go watch the music and lights over on the other side??? What would you say is your favorite Place, or town, city, area that you’ve been too, seen??? I will say that you both are the most interesting people that I let into my house. Thank you for bringing me along on a very fantastic Journey!!!
The tide is almost as fast as the year going by! December 1st already. Even doing laundry does not slow the night down. And your videos go by so fast. :¬) Webhead USA
Great drone footage of the Saltrstau;men. We tried in Alaska or BC to buck the rapids but never made it. Was a fun try and got to rev the engine up to full power for a few minutes which never hurts. You are lucky with the laundry. Tromsø downtown has none and at the Skattora marina someone donated one but no dryer so the boat looks like a Chinese laundry afterwards. Not a time to invite guests onboard. We saw one family try to dry everything outside on the lifelines but just when everything was almost dry a shower came and soak everything again. Not pretty and was so sad for the mother with all those kids. Oh well, the joys of boat life.
WOW, THAT IS FAST, ITS SCARY BEAUTIFUL!!! I visited the bay of Funday once in Canada, I definitely recommend it for you guys... The tides there comes in and out like 7 miles.... THE WORLDS LARGEST TIDES!!! It was impressive.... It makes a HUGE river to reverse causing HUGE WHIRLPOOLS!!!
@Jesse Evans ... nothing in life is free, everything the human race does uses a huge amount of energy which has to come from somewhere and involves a cost or trade off.
@Jesse Evans Yes, well, with the big push for EVERYTHING to become electrically powered, the world better be working on coming up with ways to generate to fill that demand. Anyhow, this inlet could be tapped, without basically any visible or perceivable impact, if say, turbines were secured to the seabed well below the surface. There are ways to have your cake, and eat it too! People just need to start thinking a little beyond the box's walls. 😉
@@ElementofKindness in Northern Ireland at a site called Portaferry on Strangford lough the same tide generate huge amounts of power and you can hardly see anything above water level, check it out.
A bucket list for scuba thrills definitely... Dove race rocks in British Columbia at 15 knots... You feel like a bird in flight. Any idea of the depth thru that tight channel?
We have a place similar to this in parts of England and Wales like Morecombe and Portmadog Snowdonia..I’ve seen a few clips of this but this is on another level 👍
How are you managing to stay warm aboard as I don't remember seeing a heater on board? Also is condensation an issue for you? You mentioned laundry taking long to dry. Nice footage as per usual. Happy trails.
We heard the fishing there is incredible. Just past the current we saw a ton of boats with their fishing lines out. The birds seem to be eating pretty well also.
Aye m8's, this is it! You caught like in a nutshell a nice, quick view about the essence of Saltstraumen (The stream of Salten). I hope you did have a bit more relaxed experience 'caus of the waiting for next bus. And yes it is quite an alerting sight when the incoming water comes to a halt and almost momentarily turns to the opposite direction. I would say its just a question of a few minutes.
Wikipedia "The greatest southbound current occurs about one and a quarter hours before Bodø high tide, when the inflowing current reaches about seven knots. The speed of the current has a broad maximum being greater than six knots from three hours before Bodø high tide until half an hour after Bodø high tide. The greatest northbound current occurs about four and a half hours after Bodø high tide, when the outflowing current reaches over eight knots. The speed of this current also has a broad maximum being above six knots from two hours and forty minutes after Bodø high tide until five and a half hours before the next Bodø high tide. The behavior of the current may differ from normal due to strong winds or when more fresh water than usual is entering into the fjord from the surrounding mountains." Either the locals are shooting you a line or you are misreading kilometers per hour (Kph) as Knots per hour (Knph).
Rainfall/fresh water run off might be a key difference. You get pretty big tides in west coast Panama but, anchored in a river during the rainy season, the ebb tide is very noticeably stonger than the flood.
In Campbell river on Vancouver island Canada we have a narrows that is the same but there is this one spot that makes a drop of of 6 feet and makes a great jump it's so much fun thanks for reading I am Canadian !!!!!!!
Impressive but I have to say so are the Yaculta Rapids on the inside passage in BC. Also Roaring Hole Rapids and it Deception Pass can be rather jolly at times.
What is the flow in cubic feet per sec. /or meters per sec? The Skookumchuck Narrows in BC Canada is 600,000 cu ft per sec or 17,000 cu.meters per sec. How does this compare to Saltstrauman?
I read 372-400 mill. m³ during 6 hours, so that would be like 386 m³/6h = 17 870 m³/s. So their mean is quite equal. I also read that the peak speed is like 22 knots = 41,7 km/h, and that the width and depth through which the water passes is 125 m x 30 m + 60 m x 25 m = 5 250 m². But since that area most likely is not rectangular or square, let's reduce it to 70 % of that, i.e. 0,7 x 5 250 = 3 675 m2. Hence the peak flow would be like 3 675 m² x 41,7 km/h x 1 000 m/km / 3 600 s/h = 3 675 m² x 11 m/s ≈ 40 000 m³/s.
Unless it were an emergency you'd wait for slack tide to go through there. If you absolutely had to go in or out with the flow I'm sure it could be done, but you'd definitely be committed.
What was the average daily temperature? Noticed one guy in shirtsleeves. Don't you think everybody was at the concert? Do you take your dirty laundry in the same bag add you bring back your clean laundry?
I think the current in the reversing falls in Saint John, New Brunswick might be faster. Similar situation, but the tides in Saint John vary by 28 feet. I couldn't find a speed to verify it.
The main day for nightlife in Europe and the Scandinavian countries is a Saturday night. Although Friday is also busy in big cities. Whereas in Usa Friday night is the night out. As far as I rememer at least from my two years in the US 30 years ago.
I don’t know exactly what day they went there. But if I’m looking at the end of June. The tide turned at 06:15-12:08-18:32-00:53 So if you add 3h to any of that times... you’re pretty close.
@@omos1010 no you just fish from the shore but you need pretty heavy gear because you can get good size fish there, cod and pollock over 40 ib and halibut can get over 400 there if lucky, or unlucky depending how you look at it..
I have grown up believing Skookumchuck narrows in southern British Columbia is fastest tidal current in world. Just over 16 knots. Incredible standing wave for kayaking.
M B That would also make a great trip to the deco chamber for the inexperienced. It doesn’t only tumble in horizontal circles, but also chucks you from 5 to 25m and back, over and over; ideal for inducing bubbles. For diving with locally experienced guides only.
Fun episode, used to live in Bodø and now in a little town (Fauske) in the inner parts of the fjord inside Saltstraumen. Used to fish in Saltstraumen with my father growing up. Need to respect that place, better not fall in... Too bad I missed you when you were here, been following your journeys a long time🙂👍
You probably get tired of me telling you how much I admire you as a couple. Please never lose the magic

LOVE IT!!
Thank you so much, hearing that brought a BIG smile to our faces. 😀
Matt, hearing you talk about the tide you remind me of one of my brothers. Nature is indeed powerful and beautiful!

A fine Sunday morning wake up call. Nothing like a quick trip through Norway and with a fine couple to share it with.
At first I was thinking, “it’s just like river rapids, no big”. Then you realize this is the OCEAN, and your entire perspective shifts. Thanks for sharing this with us!
As usual, great video & beautiful views! Thanks for sharing.

Even Delos has sailed further north. Drake was just over in Greenland and Iceland as well and Dan and Kika are also over there just south a bit.
I'd drop everything in a heartbeat for the opportunity to sail the arctic lats! The tropics are nice in spots but eventually you end up at the mercy of pirates. :)
WOW!! Thats AMAZING!!!
Never have seen a bunch of seals doing a tourist boat tour before. Just great. First time for everything. Great tidal current btw!
It's midnight, on a Friday night, and you two are doing laundry. How romantic!
Welcome to Norway, Thanks for you great video!!
The thought of falling into the water during that tidal current is terrifying
Wow, mother nature can really put on a show. You always do such a great job of letting us experience these awesome places given the limitations of our recording devices.

Amazing!!! The different colors of the water ar just astonishing!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Excellent content and video editing!
Thanks for sharing the adventure
Thanks. What a beautiful place. You take me the coolest places.
Awesome footage. Wow what a place. That has got to be some amazing thing to see in person.
Beautiful scenery and video. Every time I am by fast water like that (ex: Niagara falls) I get mystified mentally and gotta be pulled away or else I'd fall in.
Thank you for the video. Looks like a very clean city.
Not bad, but you really need to checkout the Horizontal Falls Talbot Bay in Western Australia.
The tidal flow is not only fast, but the tidal change of 10+m makes it one the biggest tidal changes too.
Stunning location. Keep up the great work.
My hometown🙂
Reason nobody in town they all went to the consert.
Now daylight only å few hours.
Har dere fått snø enda?

Check horizontal falls in Kimberley area Australia. Maybe a bit faster
.
I was just wondering about that area. Would be good to hear from some yachties.
There is a place in Western Australia they call the horizontal waterfall don't know exactly where though, love your videos, best of luck

Amazing. Wonders what the scope for an appropriate Hydro-electric barrage is?
I can't get the song Pandemonium out of my head...listen to it on TH-cam all the time.
Catchy little bugger, isn't it? 😉

What a great opportunity to collect all that energy and use it to power houses
Awesome video! I commercial fish an area that has a 35' tide and it's just brutal.
I can't even imagine what a day of work is like for you.
Welcome to Norway🤗

It'll be interesting to see what you think when you finally get to the horizontal waterfalls in Western Australia! There is no bus option there!
Yeah, when you can see an up to 6 foot difference in the level of the ocean on either side of the falls. That is so cool.
Lovely travel log, thanks..
epic tides, sod roof houses and the concert at the other side of the city
A pretty good day, if I say so myself. 🤩
Fantastic touring . thank you
A bucket list for scuba thrills definitely... Dove race rocks in British Columbia at 15 knots... You feel like a bird in flight. Any idea of the depth thru that tight channel?

22 knots. My powerboat barely does 22 knots. Great video !!
You need a bigger engine! haha
How are you managing to stay warm aboard as I don't remember seeing a heater on board? Also is condensation an issue for you? You mentioned laundry taking long to dry. Nice footage as per usual. Happy trails.
I think they talked about a heater sometime back.
Looks fun to kayak through.
Bet it is an awesome place to fish!
We heard the fishing there is incredible. Just past the current we saw a ton of boats with their fishing lines out. The birds seem to be eating pretty well also.
See the Falls of Lora in Scotland, very similar...
A fantastic dive when it's running!!
Yes I remember when you's where restoring your boat time as gone so fast thank's for the video
Nomadic lifestyle, the way we all should be living life.
Aye m8's, this is it! You caught like in a nutshell a nice, quick view about the essence of Saltstraumen (The stream of Salten). I hope you did have a bit more relaxed experience 'caus of the waiting for next bus. And yes it is quite an alerting sight when the incoming water comes to a halt and almost momentarily turns to the opposite direction. I would say its just a question of a few minutes.
Dodd Narrows just south of Nanaimo, BC can get pretty exciting and is just a few hours north of the San Juan Is.
Wikipedia "The greatest southbound current occurs about one and a quarter hours before Bodø high tide, when the inflowing current reaches about seven knots. The speed of the current has a broad maximum being greater than six knots from three hours before Bodø high tide until half an hour after Bodø high tide.

Either the locals are shooting you a line or you are misreading kilometers per hour (Kph) as Knots per hour (Knph).
Rainfall/fresh water run off might be a key difference. You get pretty big tides in west coast Panama but, anchored in a river during the rainy season, the ebb tide is very noticeably stonger than the flood.
Great Job!!! Thank You... :-)
In Campbell river on Vancouver island Canada we have a narrows that is the same but there is this one spot that makes a drop of of 6 feet and makes a great jump it's so much fun thanks for reading I am Canadian !!!!!!!
Good spot to generate power.
True!
I had pictured a sailboat navigating this with a 22 knot tide running...oh well,there's some nice footage.And laundry.
You really should have sprung for one of those boat tours. Yes, it cost more than $3 but that would have been great to see w you two.
Great episode!
Impressive but I have to say so are the Yaculta Rapids on the inside passage in BC. Also Roaring Hole Rapids and it Deception Pass can be rather jolly at times.
Are the marinas expensive in Norway?
They're actually quite cheap. Of all the marinas we stayed at (with the exception of Reine), prices were $15-25 a night.
Stunning footage! Wow!
very beautifull and very strong part of sea crazy don t fall in it^^, city in norway are often quiet at night^^
Where in Michigan are you from? Looks like a fun trip! Be safe!
We're from Grand Rapids, and kept our last sailboat in Muskegon.
So I’m guessing the guy that tried to open a paddle boat business there didn’t last long! 😂
What is the flow in cubic feet per sec. /or meters per sec?
The Skookumchuck Narrows in BC Canada is 600,000 cu ft per sec or 17,000 cu.meters per sec.
How does this compare to Saltstrauman?
I read 372-400 mill. m³ during 6 hours, so that would be like 386 m³/6h = 17 870 m³/s. So their mean is quite equal.
I also read that the peak speed is like 22 knots = 41,7 km/h, and that the width and depth through which the water passes is 125 m x 30 m + 60 m x 25 m = 5 250 m². But since that area most likely is not rectangular or square, let's reduce it to 70 % of that, i.e. 0,7 x 5 250 = 3 675 m2. Hence the peak flow would be like 3 675 m² x 41,7 km/h x 1 000 m/km / 3 600 s/h = 3 675 m² x 11 m/s ≈ 40 000 m³/s.
Unless it were an emergency you'd wait for slack tide to go through there. If you absolutely had to go in or out with the flow I'm sure it could be done, but you'd definitely be committed.
What was the average daily temperature? Noticed one guy in shirtsleeves. Don't you think everybody was at the concert? Do you take your dirty laundry in the same bag add you bring back your clean laundry?
I noticed the Miele washing machine. I have a Miele upright vacuum cleaner. Quality stuff, not like what the riff raff buy at China-mart.
I think the current in the reversing falls in Saint John, New Brunswick might be faster. Similar situation, but the tides in Saint John vary by 28 feet. I couldn't find a speed to verify it.
Bodo is a nice place. You can pick up Eurail there, and back down to Sweden.
It’s a fantastic fishing there.
Fair winds ,,,/),,,,
Harness this energy
In Norway there is plenty hydraulic electricity already. Learn something about this wise country. You could improve your own country.
what about the current at a location on the west north west coast of Australia?
Indian river inlet Delaware. Not as fast as this, but I seen it go from steady tide which looked like a lake to outward in 20 minutes with white caps.
If that is the bay of Fundy,,your next one will be ,,,turnagin arm just south of Anchorage Alaska,,
That would make a great spot for a hydro plant
The main day for nightlife in Europe and the Scandinavian countries is a Saturday night. Although Friday is also busy in big cities. Whereas in Usa Friday night is the night out. As far as I rememer at least from my two years in the US 30 years ago.
I'd open a vodka and black out curtain store in the summer and switch to coffee and light therapy in the winter.
It looks pretty deep . I calculate that you could probably extract 4-500 megawatts of power from the flow !
Hay Matt & Jessica,
FYI this and previous EP 127 the volume voice is low mostly Matt , not the same quality as your other EPS.
Keep up the journey.
What was the tide rise and fall at the “rapids”?
I'm not sure but I hope this can give you some answer

I don’t know exactly what day they went there. But if I’m looking at the end of June. The tide turned at 06:15-12:08-18:32-00:53
So if you add 3h to any of that times... you’re pretty close.
Anders Jakobsen thanks for your reply, I wondered about the tide change in feet.
Oh☺️ Sorry.
If I looked at the same time of the year. It’s 190cm that’s 6,23feet.
Anders, thanks again - an amazing amount of water. Not at all like the west coast of Florida.
Visiting that place without a fishing rod... what's wrong with you guys? 😉🙂
7 knots aluminium boat .... that whats wrong ;)
Stay tuned for Wednesday's episode, we get something on the line. 😉
@@omos1010 no you just fish from the shore but you need pretty heavy gear because you can get good size fish there, cod and pollock over 40 ib and halibut can get over 400 there if lucky, or unlucky depending how you look at it..
I have grown up believing Skookumchuck narrows in southern British Columbia is fastest tidal current in world. Just over 16 knots. Incredible standing wave for kayaking.
That would make a great 'drift dive'.)))
M B That would also make a great trip to the deco chamber for the inexperienced. It doesn’t only tumble in horizontal circles, but also chucks you from 5 to 25m and back, over and over; ideal for inducing bubbles. For diving with locally experienced guides only.
@@andyowens5494 That's why I put ))) - it was 'tongue in cheek.
where did yall get your cash supply????
Didn't you KNOW this tidal stream from the internet? It is world famous.
Fun episode, used to live in Bodø and now in a little town (Fauske) in the inner parts of the fjord inside Saltstraumen. Used to fish in Saltstraumen with my father growing up. Need to respect that place, better not fall in... Too bad I missed you when you were here, been following your journeys a long time🙂👍
What music is that at 6:27 ?
I'll buy you two beers ....
I visited Parrsboro N. S. And sat through a low to high tide cycle of 43 feet accompanied by a comfortable chair and my trusty cooler, bay of fundy
Agree its one of the fastest current in the world, check out the horizontal tidal falls in the Kimberly of Western Australia.
How does the tide fall horizontally?
@@ushoys google horizontal tidal fall in the Kimberly of WA, couple oh youtube videos showing it.
try the Nakwakto rapids in BC Canada 24 knots in the right tides
This is the tidal current that apparently sunk Captain Nemo's submarine in 20000 Leagues... :)
Go to the fishing there i cought a 6 kilo cod! Just being the Harbour where the concert was
Hey what's your Lat?
To bad you guys did catch up with “indie Project” van couple they were also in Norway for a long time. Their channel is worth your time.
