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

[@PitStopCrew]

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.

[@erikaanderaa]

Thank you!😀🙌

[@deevan2489]

I like when you speak in 3rd person, telling us what Erik is doing..

[@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!

[@joshuadolan3811]

A man, a boat, a drone, and a dream we all have…couldn’t agree more

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 ;)

[@yurikonstantinov5787]

It’s like being in Scotland yourself! Thank you!

[@MikeFloutier]

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🙌☺️

May fair winds follow you as we all enjoy your adventures.

[@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😇

[@dwk8081]

What are rich life! You have a very good habit of thanking the places you have visited. It is a very good quality.

[@benjeffreys9378]

Watching you for years 😊

[@patreilly4293]

Fantastic video! Yours is one of the best sailing channels on KZbin. Thank you.

[@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.

[@markbennett9787]

Once again me and my wife love to see you and Tessie on adventures!

[@garywinslow2973]

Matching awesome locations with beyond-perfect filming makes youtube so worthwhile! Thanks very much Erik.

[@grabasalad5945]

if the youtube algorithms were based on the quality of photography and content you would never need a share or a like, this was fantastic. Erik, sir, you define the target that others must only dream of i can only thank you...

[@Rittlesleo]

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

[@Mr_G_in_Alba]

Born and bred Scotsman in Oslo, learning new things about the homeland from a Whisky sipping Norwegian..... Properly enjoying this adventure, even more so than the previous installments.

[@jj3972]

Greetings from the west coast of Canada. Long time follower here. Erik, your cinematography and narration is first class. Thank you very much for everything you do and for taking us along.

[@rinrat6754]

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

[@stefanjagger]

WOW.... a pound per year and a bottle of whiskey. I love that,

[@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!

[@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.

[@erikaanderaa]

My thoughts of the castle to, exacly! Thank you very much.

[@SVZonda]

A great video of the Island of Rum, thanks for taking us along. All the best Richard

[@danoalex2977]

Yes, Rum was truly spectacular.Looking forward to seeing Scotland as I have some roots there, well done!

[@sailingarista]

Great video. I am also a solo sailor and really appreciate your trips. 🧜🏻‍♀️⛵️

[@patrichellberg9596]

You are a star and such great quality of your episodes/movies! Indeed a relaxing approach and voice too! Hat off!

[@guypool7524]

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

[@richardselby5676]

You have a special ability to capture the spirit of adventure and shine a light on the places you visit. Please keep the videos coming cheers!

[@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.

[@guyharding2298]

Always perfect adventure and filmmaking, thanks Erik!!

[@Ruffway64]

WOW!!! Eric you continue to blow my mind with such great video!!! Cheers from the Republic of Alberta.

[@frfrpr]

Always one of the best and most well-filmed adventure on KZbin

[@timcraven124]

Flying on into the dark night and the Captain is getting some sleep. 😅 Perfect!

[@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 🫡

[@rikbouwmeester8820]

Thanks for the adventures! Sailing season is over here. We become KZbin sailors until Spring

[@joshuadolan3811]

You gotta watch the vids of Eric shoveling snow off the deck!

[@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…

I absolutely love that Tiger has his very own tiny NBJS t-shirt!!😊😊😊

[@tymanot]

Great video again. How beautiful Scotland and the islands are. Thanks for sharing.

[@delzworld2007]

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.

[@michaelbradley8937]

Another very enjoyable chapter to watch, thank you very much Erik!

[@henriktronstad7050]

Great video. Spectacular views and locations.

[@andymiller1308]

Thanks Erik. As always, your production is smooth, great video. It's so special to be able to see a confident & experienced sailor putting thid stuff out on KZbin. You deserve all tgr success. I'd say Netflix would be foolish not to offer you a contract!

[@erikaanderaa]

Thank you very much Andy!🔥

[@The_Gryph]

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

[@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.

[@timblagdon103]

Thanks Erik seeing parts of my country never seen before

[@jalapenoyachting]

My favorite video so far! Very nice! hard work in the rain, shows us some technical or secrets and also beautiful scenery. Congrats! can't wait for the next one!

[@davebear671]

I don’t usually comment videos. But just have to say that you make real quality content. Always watch your videos when I wan’t to calm down and relax. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best!

[@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 .

[@GaryBickley]

Excellent video again Erik, bringingvthe Scottish islands to life. Cant wait for tge Crinan canel passage.

[@donkraus1991]

And St. Kilda has a mystique and sort of understand your want to go there. Safe travels and onwards.Thanks!

[@Jellesnietes]

Great video! As a fresh sailor I really like that you ad the wind knots to the footage, keep it up!

[@ursulamonch2680]

We‘ve been sailing very close to you during the same time. And we’ve visited the same spots. So it’s wonderful to see your videos with the brilliant drone sections. It brings back wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

[@albertofourie3294]

Another top-notch episode! It's great to follow you on your journey and watch you savour every moment of your adventure!👍

[@jamieweyndling1861]

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..!

[@maverickmyrtlebeach]

Rum will fix everything, Erik that that shot of whiskey looked interesting. Hope your health is better, seems like you got it under control. best of life Erik..

[@VoilierFuligule]

We are used to sail in these foggy conditions on the St-Lawrence river, the plaisir of sailing!

[@keith800]

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 ☺

[@sonatagl]

Great video and beautiful filming. Extremely inspiring 👍

[@ericrowet2465]

Bravo !!! Likes from Belgium !!! Good Wind

[@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 👍

[@journeyman7189]

Amazing views and sailing Erik. Scotland is awesome. Nate

[@loribadgero1035]

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. Thanks for taking us along! ❤❤😊🌬️🌊👏🏻🎟️

[@Munawirtum]

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.

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. ❤

One of your best videos…you are on a roll

[@plbyrne]

Loving the Scottish tour 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.

[@tomriley5790]

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!

[@Tearlaich64]

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

Erik, just watching the latest instalment of your amazing adventures. Thank you so much. It’s nice break from the Rugby World Cup, currently taking place in France.

[@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!

[@oscarw9889]

Wonderful video as always . You show more natural beauty then I have seen from 'professional' videographers Your Iceland series was just amazing and I can't wait to see what Scotland holds. Also I like you taste in whisky..🥃😄 Fair winds!
