Erik, Your film making skills and equipment make the most incredible sailing videos. Thanks for another engrossing half an hour.

[@michellereynolds6290]

The dramatic shots you get with the drone and just the overall quality of your videos are *Chef's kiss*. I wish you much success in everything you do!

[@SeamusMorley]

Legend. Thank you Erik. Such a great show. You've developed into a great narrator and cinematographer. David Attenborough would be proud! Entertaining and educating 🖖

[@Snhojbar]

Just amazing. Your videos have the production value of documentaries with multi million dollar budgets. It's phenomenal just that you make these expeditions alone but to make documentary videos of them by yourself that puts the finest film crews to shame is mind blowing. Your videography, drone footage, commentary, the way you edit and the great sound and music is at the highest level. Really appreciate your videos. Keep living and not existing!

[@turbogato1]

I feel like it's been forever since your last adventure. It's always good to get away from the nonsense videos that dominate KZbin and tag along on video's like what Erik puts out.Thanks

[@johndeveaux7670]

Hands down the best real sailing channel out there.

[@vagabondroller]

Alluring Arctic Sailing is really good too.

[@johndeveaux7670]

@ very true

[@B3553nc3]

Completely agree

[@gggteam13]

The cinematography the you create is truly awe inspiring. You are by far the best sailing channel ever. NBJS is not just your motto, its your way of living. You should be proud of what you have done and brought along all the viewers who are lucky enough to view your adventures. You're and inspiration to me and, I'm sure many others.

[@erikaanderaa]

Very glad to hear, Thank you!

[@robertrausch5668]

Awesome. I love to follow your journeys.

[@muravi8167]

Erik' fantastic sailing, editing and camera work.

[@olavthyvold2288]

Great Video. Amazing camera and drone footage. Absolutely love the scene where the wind blows the waterfall back up the cliff and back onto land. Amazing!

[@erikaanderaa]

Nature is something else up here!

Yea, that was pretty cool!! WHERE DOES IT GO ???🤣😂

[@francismoore4976]

@@erikaanderaa Absolutely, that is why I subscribed to your channel. Lucky man!

[@wasclit11]

I've only watched a few of your videos and I watch several sailing KZbinrs and most do a really good job of doing all you have to do to create videos, but you sir have beat them all. You have raised the bar so high I don't see anyone being able to compete. I would like to see a video on all the work that goes into creating your channel. It must be a labor of love. Question - why don't you use a safety line when on deck?

[@francismoore4976]

Hi, the scenery is absolutely beautiful, I can understand why you are sailing there, it's mind blowing. What memories you will have. Thanks for sharing that with us, as the vast majority ( 99.999%) will never experience such trip.

[@antondr.walsdorf6837]

Wow wow wow … not only for sharing the beautiful Seawoman 😂 …. but for sharing these incredible pictures of this part of our earth - AMAZING

[@wcads623]

The stark beauty of Iceland and the Faros is breath taking as is Eriks video.

[@jem8794]

Erik, I did love your images from Faroe Island. They are spectacular. The quality of your imges and editing are second to none. THANK YOU!!!

[@JonBowles]

Your channel has become my favourite KZbin channel. Great stories, action and editing. I'm looking forward the next installment!

[@totesdev4363]

Erik Aanderaa, expert cinematographer and part time sailor. Just WOW! 😍

[@charlesfulcrum3170]

Thank you Erik for this latest instalment. You brightened up my Sunday afternoon.

[@Citizen-vl5cy]

A new NBJS video on a cozy sunday. Perfect. Thank you!

[@caitgems1]

Faroe Islands look stunning.

[@cbpaton53]

... beautiful land, not so beautiful people. slaughtering hundreds of dolphins every year is not acceptable behaviour.

[@waterbucky]

Thank you for enriching our lives with such incredible adventure and video production. This particular episode was the first real mental "get-away" for me since the results of the US election, which has contradicted my morals of honor, truth, respect, civil discourse, humanity, and love for one another. Thank you for shedding some light on us in a dark, dark time...and keep them coming, we are going to need this kind of beauty!

[@michelpellerin923]

Waterbucky u r right on, I share the same emotions 😢. Erick is and will be go to for my mental health!

[@justklaas4703]

What a nice episode. This way we landlubbers still get a sense of your epic adventures.

[@gbin99]

Thank you so much. I always enjoy being taken along on your wonderful adventures

[@edwardfinn4141]

Another good one Erik!! And your boat just keeps getting better and better equipped, year after year!

Hallo Erik! Your Videos..your way to sail...so cool...i love it..thank you and always fair winds..

Thanks for taking me to such remote (for me) places, using the best drone footage on the internet. (Good music too!)

[@UlrikBay]

What a lovely re-visit in Milkadalur and Kópakonan. Was there 10 years ago. :) Thank you for the video :)

Thanks Eric, awesome filming, again. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@billbaxter2914]

Spectacular trip. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures.

I work and live in several war zones, and your videos, Erik, are a reminder of the bigger world out there. Soothing too they are in contrast to the madness

[@zughoytim]

Such a beautiful episode! Wonderful shots and sounds - and sailing!

[@ronlieffering8076]

Everyone shows nice tropical beaches all the time. This is more beautiful an unspoiled natural world Th Hank you Erik

[@brucebrown9604]

I appreciated your focus on the French fishermen and their hardships which were also described by Pierre Loti in his novel "An Icelandic Fisherman". Beautiful scenery, expertly captured! Sail safe, 😎

Thank you, Eric, for sharing your experience and tips for handling strong wind conditions! Your journey to Iceland is very inspiring and helpful for learning more about sailing. The way you handle challenges is motivating. Wishing you safe travels on your next adventures!

[@sidetrailadventures60]

Spectacular!

[@davidnichols147]

Just returning from Dr Dermotologist, after 43 years employed with our US Merchant Service, I prepared a lovely Fried Rice and Korean pork loin supper for the Misses. Viewing your latest as the snow has started here in Northern Maine, I feel so uplifted by the Historic cinematography of Iceland. We shipped many a ton of cod from there to Boston during my time with the IOMMP Union. Love your Saily advertisement!

I must say, as a novice, I had to let out a laugh when you said a 20 knot sidewind was ‘fresh’… We love to watch your videos…they are inspiring.

Getting good at the drone footage Erick Out of all your equipment I envy your cars on the mast. your main sail came down so sweetly I sighed in satisfaction as much as I curse when my main gets stuck halfway down 😅 Stay safe Erick

[@davsor08]

The sealwoman - or selkie - tales are found in many places and is mostly a ghastly tale. In the Faroese version, the seal people come ashore and take off their hide and turn to human form once a year on one particular night to dance. On one such night, a local man witnesses this and falls obsessively in love with a woman, steals her seal hide and forces her to come and live with him. One day, when the man is out working, she finds the key to the chest where her hide is stored, grabs it and takes to the sea. Years later on a seal hunt, the man kills two beatiful young seals, goes home and prepares a meal of fresh seal meat, when all of a sudden the enraged seal woman comes in and tells him that he has killed and eaten her sons. And she casts a terrible curse on the whole village, that so many village men shall die at sea that while holding hands they shall form an unbroken line around the whole island. I know - it’s no bullshit just sailing, no time for lengthy stories, but such tales are also an important part of the narrative of life so closely connected to the ocean. Looking forward to the next episode, Erik - very impressed with the high quality of your productions 😊

[@alexogburn9959]

Fantastic scenes, just incredible coastlines! Thank you for taking us along on the adventures.

Each video gets more professional. Absolutely wonderful series … great adventure Erik.. enjoy all your content.

[@kudagoredema7230]

Very well put together Yet another master piece 👍👍

[@waderogers]

Erik, by far one of your best episodes yet. The drone footage was excellent, the history of each place you stopped really made me feel like I was there, reliving that history. Plus, it was cool to see you actually sailing the boat, trimming the sails, reefing the main, using the hydrovane and the watt-n-sea, and showcasing some of the cool tech Tessie has onboard. I also eat those dehydrated meals onboard, especially while underway. I have a custom galley but when the boat is heeled over, just easier to heat up some water and pour it in a pack! Here in Alaska, we're lucky to have a vibrant population of Tlingit natives whose ancestors have been fishing and exploring the fjords for probably 15,000 years. They still carve canoes out of large cedar logs, make decorative paddles, perform their traditional songs and dances and wear their traditional regalia on special occasions. These are a people who, until Russian contact 300 years ago, were literally stone-age people. No metal work at all. They carved their canoes using stone axes and sharpened seashells. They set up seasonal fishing villages in specific locations because the salmon and herring runs happen around the same time each year. Really is a fascinating place, so you and I are lucky to be able to sail in places that are still mostly 'wild'. Silje is a good woman, leaving you little love notes, and keeping you in check with the 'FU' note. Tell her I laughed at that one! I'm working on a video for my 300 mile race around Admiralty Island back in June but as you know it takes time to produce these videos. Winter is setting in here, my boat is under her winter cover, so I'll be spending more time indoors, editing videos. I have 4 long sailing trips I've done in the past 4 years and still haven't produced the videos, but will be working on that this winter. Here's a trip I did 4 years ago, solo on my boat with 3 other sailing friends on their boats, to a fjord called Tracy Arm. This is a good video to watch w/ headphone due to the good music I put in it. You and Silje should give some thought of coming to Alaska some day to visit for a week or so. Juneau is a remarkable location, with nothing but fjords, a 250 mile long/40 mil wide ice field and ocean and wildlife! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqbYpGmmjdWbopo

As usual, puts you right in the boat with him. Fantastic videos.

[@peterb4620]

Just amazing. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@erwinvandoeselaar7352]

Thank you, Erik! It's great films you produce, about great voyages. What I like best is your growth path, from where you started to where you got didn't happen overnight. That shows it's feasible for me, too. Now I sail the local coasts of the North Sea. Some day the small boat may bring me quite a bit further. Let's see what the future holds. Thank you for your inspirational example.

[@erikaanderaa]

No reason to wait. Get going!🌊
