I just signed up for NORDVPN. It was very easy and it appears to be pretty easy to use. I got the 1T of Cloud storage and that is very easy to use and allows me to share folders and files of encrypted material. Thank you so much for introducing us to this VPN service. Of course I used your link to sign up. You're a good human and you give us great videos to watch. We live vicariously with you. Keep up the great work Brudda! Tank you so much

man, you are single handedly doing more for Scottish tourism than our own tourist board!! Your content should be on mainland TV as well as KZbin - pro quality. Simply brilliant.

[@agentdouble-osoul158]

Erik, your videos and photography are probably the best on KZbin. It’s always a highlight when you post another clip.

[@domcp711]

I absolutely agree!

Hi Erik. I watch your videos with my eight year old daughter. We haven't been sailing but, thanks to your channel, she now wants to learn - so we're going to start classes together in Palma de Mallorca, where we now live. Be sure to let us know if and when you pass through. She would love to meet you - and I'd love to buy you a drink. Happy sailing and thank you for the inspiration.

[@erikaanderaa]

Thats amazing! Get them going when young! Drink in Mallorca is noted ;)

[@markbennett9787]

It was fascinating being with you as you approached Castlebay at relatively high speed in fog, wind and rain. Your sailing skills, use of instruments and a mixture of courage and caution have never been more apparent than in this video.

[@waterboy8999]

That wasn't fog, it was low visibility because of the rain. High speed in fog is stupid.

It’s rare to meet a really adventurous explorer. Wonderful videography is a joy to behold. An engaging character is so attractive. Excellent editing is a must for first class videos. To find all these attributes combined in one person is a rare and spectacular delight. Thank you Erik! ⛵️ ❤

[@erikaanderaa]

Thank you Mike, apreciate it🙌☺️

[@davidboyes1941]

We’re going to follow in your footsteps (wake) as soon as we can…. Keep the NBJS videos coming! Fascinated with the kit on Tessie, pausing the videos and zooming in to see her rigging and gizmos!

[@erikaanderaa]

Nice to know David, thanks! Yes, there is alot of stuff onboard by today. Even more to come😇

[@xelawy]

08:40 .. "so I prepared for the gybe" than bang! Erik style 😀 Sir if I might the way we do this is take in the main sheet quickly centring the boom as much as possible and when the boom finally comes over we make sure the sheet is not locked and pay out the sheet very rapidly trying not to burn our fingers... smooth as baby no bangs on the rig. also cheers to another great trip and video!

[@Rittlesleo]

Another beautiful production. Thank you for taking us where we won't sail ourselves.

[@rinrat6754]

Your appreciation of the opportunities you have to see wonderful places is infectious.

Awesome as usual. Love those winch handles just need a sponsor to pay for them 🤣

[@twisterwiper]

Erik, I enjoy your vlog immensely. If I may provide a suggestion: A technical video on how your run your lines. It looks like you have a lot going on in the cockpit! 😊 I'm sure it all makes sense and undoubtedly, you have a lot of experience in what works and what doesn't work. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. I think it could help out a lot of fellow sailors.

[@katrinebohr3119]

Turned off the audio, phew. The filming is good, thx for the sea views. ✌️⚓️

[@iaing2030]

Rum is such a beautiful place I must add it to next years adventures. Jenson and I are planning going down the Caledonian canal and hitting the west coast for a few weeks in Merlin next summer, so really need to check Rum out on our trip. Thanks for another great video Erik its greatly appreciated all the effort you go into to keep us all entertained.

Mate. The editing here. Jesus Christ! It's fantastic!

Loved seeing Castlebay again. At the southern tip of the Hebrides, its a place myths, mysteries and legends where time stands still. Thank you Erik for the visit.

[@jesbates8611]

Great episode, lots of different sailing action. The shots of St Kilda were spectacular. Thanks

[@petestronach4949]

random fact @jes i live in southern victoria southern south western, to be more concise 4 hrs east is the capitol of our state, Melbourne it has a suburb called St Kilda beachside, i've never known why this is most probably why 🫡

Great one Eric 👍,that fog looks scary ,even though you have radar and a chart plotter I think I would be worried about colliding with another boat or being run into by one , I dont think you can ever get bored by Scotland , the splendor , history and architecture are never ending expect you know the story of the famous Tobermory Galleon ☺

[@guypool7524]

Always a great sight to see your new videos appear, Erik!

[@johannes2489]

Erik, the continuous videos you show us, the places you take us. In my next life i am going to be ´you´..😊. At 11.32 i saw the house i could live in at Castle Bay, with the small white beaches and no other people around. Taking a swim there evry morning, no matter the weather, just being with nature. (then going back in the house to warm up at the fireplace ofcourse)☺ Thanks again for all you do.

I visited Rum as a child. My parents friend was the caretaker for Kinloch Castle and we were lucky enough to stay there for a few nights. The Castle had an organ and a full size snooker table which my brothers and I had fun playing on. It’s so sad that no one has been found to take on then maintenance and care of the building.

[@erikaanderaa]

Wow, you got some great memories at least. Would love to see the interior of the castle..!

It must be your skill as a sailor, but it seems the waters always cooperate with you, as long as there are no tidal streams anyway. I’ll bet there were a few ghosts in that Castle! 😊. I’m really glad you had your heavy sailing gear while exploring the island. The dinghy ride could have been breathtaking in a different way. What a beautiful venture.

Erik you are such a wonderful sailors and your biat is do beautiful under full sail. I have an Ericson bluewater sailboat and want to do these trips. I have ALWAYS singlehanded and just love being out there by myself. I'm completely refitting my boat for her next big adventure. Should be complete in about 2 1/2 years. Lots to do. ❤

[@SD_Alias]

Fog while sailing is something I respect a lot. I once got caught in the fog while sailing in the German Wadden Sea and the fear of running aground was enormous and at some point the fog was so thick that we anchored...

[@maesy6730]

whenever I see Wadden sea I think of the wonderful book, 'The riddle of the sands'

[@SD_Alias]

@@maesy6730 Yes such a great book! unfortunately sailing in the wadden sea is very strong regulated these days…

Must say that the electric outboard seems very convenient and easy to get onboard.

[@alanduncan4691]

I spent a couple of nights in Castlebay in 2018 or 2019, having sailed out there, and had better luck with the weather than you did Erik. Wonderful place and people, had a very enjoyable evening drinkng with local fishermen 👍

All that way for 2 hours geez! Visited Kinlock Castle and Rhum years ago - it was only built to last a few years and needs alot of money for upkeep - it was up for sale for quite a while. Love the inner hebrides and the whole west coast of Scotland it's so beautiful (in the sunshine!) Lovely video!

It’s a bucket list destination. I could spend days but then I wouldn’t need to get back to Norway!

[@bertmacdonald337]

Your enthusiasm for life is infectious , Erik and I commend you for it! Tusen takk ! My Jockinese brothers have a word for that dismal weather you encountered and that word is Dreich. (rhymes with creek) "dreich an adjective, meaning Bleak, miserable, dismal, cheerless, dreary." Also a discriptor for some of my east coast of Scotland friends who, like that weather, are an acquired taste! Enjoy your whiskey, mate, you`ve earned it ! Slainté! Fair winds big guy .

Rum truly looks beautiful, I'd love to sail there myself Erik 😊

[@vaterchenfrost7481]

I like your idea to clean up the front of the boat for the dinghy. It looks to me like a much more practical boat organization for the expedition routine that you are conducting. In weak wind conditions, you are not really using the spinnaker but motoring instead. And when you are using it, it looks like a futile exercise, which makes more work than develops a useful effect. One more time, thank you for sharing your experience. It is a joy to watch, an inspiration, and good stuff for self-reflection, not only on the matter of sailing.

[@333jethro]

Love watching your videos, have sailed many places with you now. Though to reduce your IBS you need to stop drinking beer, you’re probably reacting to the wheat like many of us do! Try only cider and see the difference!🙏🏼 Keep safe! ✔️

[@gregp13]

Masterful production, Erik. A marvelous adventure and a story well told. I like the way you cheer the camera with a shot of whisky. The drone shots are spectacular. I notice you don't film the little pubs and eateries you stop at in these small villages. It would be nice to meet a few locals and see what the menus are like. But, with or without eateries, your work is truly exceptional. Thank you!

Thank you for the interesting videos and travel... Many people have the same dream, but not everyone succeeds; watching it live, you also make a small trip.

Always such awe-inspiring views in your videos! It was actually really neat to see Bara. I remember this being in a movie and loved the scenery (funny in the movie they joked about the weather as well). I remember the castle and views of the town, but really neat to see it in real life (through your videos of course) vs a made for movie. It was also so cool to have the clouds part and the sun out for you to have and share with us the views around Rum. What a Castle and greenery!!! Hope they do the necessary renovations so people can walk through again. Wish you and your family the best and can't wait till next episode!

Hi Eric .Your anchor swivel is incorrectly attached .it should have an additional shackle allowing it to stay in line with the chain as your boat moves . As it is it makes a weak point in your chain .
