Wondering have you ever sailed to North America?! I’m from Gloucester, MA and have been enamored by sailing my whole life. My uncle and aunt owned a sailboat they lived on throughout my childhood and would spend time on the boat with them during summers sailing around New England and East Coast. Just wondering if you have heard of Gloucester, MA. Americas Oldest Seaport? Such a beautiful natural deep water harbor! Famous French/Spanish explorer, Samuel deChamplagne called it “Le Beauport” in late 1500’s before first Europeans emigrated!

[@patricklaine6958]

Terrific Erik. Once again, you have captured perfectly the challenges of sailing in a challenging environment. The Viking in you is shining brightly.

[@obxarms7685]

Hey Patrick , I just watched your last video...keep up the good work! We need men like you and Erik!

[@erikaanderaa]

Thanks again Patrick!🙌

[@kccorliss3922]

These videos make me feel alive.

[@andyedison2416]

I really enjoy following both yourself Patrick and Erik, some of the best solo sailing videos out there. For some reason I don't really enjoy watching sailing videos unless they are doing it solo. Both of you have inspired me to get into sailing solo as well.

[@InspirationIgnite310]

Heartfelt gratitude is extended to the remarkable KZbinr, Erik Andreaa, whose exceptional sailing adventures have become a beacon of inspiration for countless individuals across the globe. Erik's unwavering dedication to sharing his voyages has provided a phenomenal platform for those who aspire to navigate the open seas or simply seek to experience the thrill vicariously. With an exceptional ability to capture the breathtaking beauty of nature and the invigorating spirit of sailing, Erik has fostered a sense of wonder and adventure in his audience. His genuine passion, informative content, and captivating storytelling have not only enriched our lives but also sparked a newfound appreciation for the art of sailing. Thank you, Erik, for fearlessly charting new waters and inviting us to embark on these extraordinary journeys with you.

[@erikaanderaa]

Thank you so much!!

Thanks Erik and just finished 355 nautical yesterday, and now running my motor to fight a dragging anchor in a thunderstorm.!

[@geoked]

[@crazyg74]

@Patrícia Martins Ferreira I agree with the sentiment too! I love Erik's videos and find them very inspirational. My comment was regarding the way the original comment was written. It comes across as something that may have been written by a 'bot'. That is, chatgpt. It's increasingly common nowadays.

[@Motrus01]

Take care of yourself Eric. Health before wealth. Most of my sailing gear is from your shop. Keep up the excellent work as and when you can. My favourite KZbin channel. Thank you for your commitment.

Castellano Audio

[@xavierlaraserra]

@@fernandojuliopaniagua873 Hi mate, Castellano is called Spanish outside of Spain, anyway I strongly suggest if you love sailing to do an effort and learn English, it is the navigation language both in air and seas, and indeed the facto the lingua franca now a days, that allows us to know about Eric adventures and to him to communicate to us, etc. Can you imagine he did the videos in Norwegian? Take care buddy!

[@prunesquallor3444]

To everyone who has thought their dreams were impossible to attain, Eric shows us where there is a will, there is always a way. Despite being handed physical as well as mental challenges, Eric bites the bit and sails onward. Relying on his own instincts, intuition, and his vast experience sailing the stormy waters of the North Sea, Eric’s goals and challenges cause a healthy person to quake in their boots. He is one KZbinr I wholeheartedly support without any qualms. May fair to strong winds carry you to happiness, and good health Eric. Namaste

[@eckph]

Don't worry about not uploading regularly. Health is always first. And all of us prefer to see a happy and healthy Eric that doesn't feel pressured to upload a video every 2 weeks. Thanks for all the fantastic content - it always puts a smile on my face.

[@raykowerchuk2326]

You are among the greatest solo sailors of the modern sail age. I have sailed for over 30 years and you certainly have my respect.

[@mnbsay9548]

Excellent sailing and thank you for taking me out with you. Please take care so we can do for many more years to come

[@sultanpoppa3735]

Continue to be amazed at your sailing skill and video production talent. This series has some of the most exciting sailing sequences anywhere on YT. And your camerawork, editing and music selection is superb. It could deserve a "Best of Greenland '22" edit as exclusive content.

[@NielsJensenSailingSVFreelance]

Your videos are getting better and better, and they were excellent to begin with. It's also great to see a Channel that consistently focuses so much on actually being out there on the water. My own personal downside of watching your Channel is one of regret. Some years ago, I turned down an opportunity to sail from Norway to the US via Greenland in a 40-footer. You have made me realize my mistake.

[@lifelong5425]

The faith in you is astounding...that a boat of that size propels you by wind and or engine in waters that are beyond challenging, speaks of not only desire, but of life acceptance, no matter what it offers or can bring.....the path we use differs in all of us. You, a sailboat and the elements are at best one with each other...Be well in yourself, your health must come first. These voyages are dreams for millions of people who may never embark on one of them...This is the gift you deliver...

[@sailorjoe6634]

As an old Sub Sailor it was very cool to see her on the surface. I am sure they where watching you sail as well. Great stuff as always. Fair winds and following Seas Erik

You’re the craziest I have watched! Watching sailors like Project Atticus, Distant Shores and others is nice but watching your passages is pure adrenaline! Thanks, crazy viking! Stay safe, and good to know you recovered from that thing. I saw your pic in some hospital somewhere on Instagram. God bless you!

Greetings from Houston , Erik ! Thank you for your always stellar video production, you really drove home the power of tides and currents when you are making 7 knots boat speed and yet only 2 knots surface speed against your incoming current as you entered the Shetland Island sound.

[@erikaanderaa]

Thank you! Yes the tides can be a real challenge around those islands for sure🌊

[@G.Orwell1984-q8i]

Erik is a very interesting fellow. I enjoy his demeanor. Soft voice and the iron will of his forefathers. There are only a few willing to test these unpredictable waters in a small sail boat..

[@philipwright7186]

Terrific episode, you put the viewer at the heart of the drama, and you clearly relish your time at sea. It is always a pleasure to watch your productions. Keep well Erik.

[@javierechevarria1548]

Erik. You are awesome. Inspiring thousands of people like me. Ordinary people that admire your adventures. Don’t worry about the frequency of uploads. Take time to recover.

Oh Erik, your videos are great. The wife and I love your videos. They way you bring us with you is very natural, informative and exciting. I got her a pink NBJS shirt and she loves it. I hope you find relief from Chrones. We look forward to your next episode, whenever that is. We are here and waiting Brudda. Stay Safe

[@rodneyallen5003]

You never disappoint with your videos! Thank you Erik. Your content, sharing the adventures of sailing the North Atlantic, are always inspiring. NBJS stands alone as this is exactly what you deliver in each chapter. You’re definitely one tough Viking sailor showing by example with an incredible attitude of gratitude. Take care of your health and we will be with you every nautical mile.

[@gordonipock9385]

I enjoy watching your videos from the North Sea and North Atlantic. I took up sailing 2 and a half years ago when I was 67, sailing high-performance dinghies on local lakes. I want to buy a small cruiser and do some coastal sailing before I get too old to do it. I'm now 70. Still in good health.

[@jeff_n1535]

All respects, brother Erik, from us! We've been watching your saling from Norway to Scotland, St Kilda and back to Norway. To face the North Seas, by yoursek in Tessie, rakes a certain courage , strength and fortitude!
