Good job, no bikini girls in the tropics like all the other channels. This is real sailing.

Really tough sailing conditions Erik. Great decision to turn back on the first attempt, but the second passage to Faroe was a real test of seamanship too. Bravo my friend. Inspiring.

What to say...? Never seen such epic video of sailing made by ”amateur" sailor. Unique on youtube and terribly entertaining and addictive. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Your drone shots are world class!

This should be Erik's full time occupation. We should lobby National Geographic or Discovery on his behalf. Brilliant stuff!

That's my Friday night sorted!

NBJS living up to its branding. Its like watching pro documentaries filled with inspiration, thank you Eric

Incredible. Simply incredible. There are no words for the miracles God has given to us upon this beautiful Earth. Thank you for sharing them! 🙌💞🦋🌈✨

Hands down the BEST sailing channel on YT! Need to take a sip now from my margarita and move out of the sun.

That was phenomenal .... viewing , Who needs terrestial TV when you have content of this high quality ,,

Everyone would desire to have a sailing teacher like you!

"Awwww...had to turn back to port and get stuck for...WAIT...that means DRONE FOOTAGE TIME!" Great footage as always, Erik!

Excellent job, Erik! Glad you turned back to Iceland. Scrubbing a bad mission is a sign of maturity! Well done.

"That was not in the weather report". That's Iceland for you! LOL 🤣 Get used to it...

Gotta luv this guy no B.S.Just raw sailing and adventure never boring 👍

4:22 .."it's probably gonna be bumpy" So basically another pleasant day of sailing for Erik.

Glad that you were stuck in Iceland! Thank you for the beautiful footage!

As soon as I saw Fettifossen I thought, "whoa, that's the waterfall from Prometheus!"

You are a true Viking and may the wind be with you . Thanks for sharing some of the greatest content there is on KZfaq :)

I can’t believe you just continued directly from Faroe Islands. I imagine you must have been longing for a good night’s sleep so bad, at that time. That is hard core.

The scenery is just beautiful words can’t give it justice in its beauty

I’m taking sailing classes right now and this is the most fucking honest channel about this topic on youtube. Thank you!

You are never alone. I'm sure God and the spirits of ancient explorers are with you. Thank you for bringing us along.

A true Viking Spirit and all that great footage alone ! Simply put "badass" !

You are truly a Brave Man and an Extraordinary Sailor...your videos are so addictive!!

Easily the no1 sailing channel!

We were exhausted and sea sick by the time you got to Faroe Islands. What an epic piece of film making. Not only did you do the camera work, the editing and directing, but you also had to sail the boat. You are heading for legend status Erik.

Erik. Your videos are simply the best sailing videos on You Tube. Magnificent work.

Dude, I swear your my fricken hero...best sailor I have ever seen!!! I wish I had the courage to sleep on the settee while single handing, I always pass out in the cockpit lol.

Magnificent as always. I enjoy so much NBJS adventures.

The Viking's videos are awesome - mind-blowing. The worlds he explores are out of this world...like from a science fiction movie...national geographic would make use of all his videos...sailing videos couldn't get better than this..

You have lifted my spirits no end in this time of virus lockdown ,great to watch another of your videos .

Norwegians , if it ain't cold and miserable out , we're miserable. These videos are epic , this would be on my bucket list if I thought in my wildest dreams it was even possible for me . My yacht is stuck in a lake no where near any ocean.

"Probably going to be bumpy" . What a sailor you are. Love your no bullshit videos!

This is the sailing that I love. High seas and a lot of wind. Beautiful recordings.

Erik, thank you for a very exciting reportage! Hollywood nervously smokes at side... I admire your courage, your skill at sea. You're my hero! I'm waiting for the continuation of your Norwegian saga! 🤩

Let’s Go. This guy is a beast!!

Thank you for making it easy for me to make a great journey and to know the impressive coasts and lands of the Norwegian Sea. Extraordinary report worthy of any TV.

You sir are a wise and skilled sailor. Another fine video, stunning scenery well captured.

Getting woozy just watching the boat. You are a hero. Wow.

Another Fantastic episode, Eric! None of that 'bikinis in the Bahamas' BS. Just real sailing, real adventure. Can't wait for your next episode.

Great video. Thanks Erik! Such a shame that you had to skip The Faroes. We're already looking forward to the final chapter of this adventure. All the best to you in Norway from us in Ireland.

i was by sailboat in lerwick when you where there but still sleeping. we continued around shetland. sailing boat Happy Days, maybe our boat will be visible in you next video in lerwick harbour? love your travel and quality off the videos

Was für ein grandioses Land. Sympatische Menschen und Natur, Natur und Meer

Broadcast quality. You are killing it mate! Thank you. 🙏🏻

Icelandic folklore says that Ásbyrgi was formed when Òdins 8 legged horse Sleipnir stepped down to Earth. Beautiful drone shots and excitement galore. 💪👍👍

The worst kind of window is one that leaks ... 😂 absolutely a drag!

Why aren't more men like you, brave, fearless? Great adventure!

So beautiful images and words. So beautiful can be our world. Sailing in the best way to discover all this beauty. 👍👍👍💪💪💪

God decision to turn back to Iceland... not only due to the weather conditions but also because Iceland really is a place to explore. Fantastic vide! Thanks a lot for sharing. Fair winds!

Bravo Erik!!! I like your narration.

Erik. Spectacular footage, story telling, editing and.......... Sailing. Sail Safe mate. Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

Nice to see that seasoned sailors also sometimes just turn back. I feel a whole lot better about some of my U-turns now.

You weren't going back into the fjord with your tail behind your legs, but with you head held high, knowing that you took the right decision which is always part of being a skipper! I was in Haugesund in 2012 when we sailed to Norway in 1 go from the Netherlands a became there drunk. Very hospital country and friendly people.

These are the vids I like. No bullshit, just sailing. Keep on the good job Erik Martin..

I, and my friends refer to you as the modern Jaques Cousteau! Your journey makes our lives better and we send our energy for the kilometers ahead!

Erik, your videos are fascinating and allow us to discover landscapes that otherwise we would never have had the opportunity to see. You are an exceptional sailor, however I find that you do not take enough safety by often neglecting the lifeline in extreme weather conditions. Good luck and continue to thrill us with your adventures.

Your cooking skills slowly improve ...... but I was waiting for it and did not get disappointed : „I prefer canned food!” 😂 you never let us down ! Btw this trip and your video work is epic. Bloody awesome

I sit in awe once again watching your epic journey unfold. Stunning, world class videography, narration, and musical accompaniment, combined with raw sailing talent in challenging conditions, makes for a riveting viewing experience. I can’t thank you enough for the time and effort. You have found your time and your place in it, Erik. 👍👍

Amazing!!!! Watching from Washington state and I think your videos are incredible! Thank you. My heritage is Norwegian and I’ll never see this in person so I’m very grateful.

Absolutely Incredible Erik ... You're a Legend mate you're definitely living the dream!! 👍😁🤟 Beanie 🇦🇺 Australia

We admire your crossing of the stormy Norwegian Sea !!!

I drove the Ring Road around Iceland and I stopped everywhere! It took me almost a month. That place is SPECTACULAR! There is gorgeous beauty on every inch of that island! I LOVE Iceland! This whole series of this trip was fantastic! Just fantastic! Erik, your adventures have been incredibly inspiring! I'm so glad you are taking these adventures while you can! Just fantastic!

The awesome Viking warrior returns with another spectacular episode. Spectacular scenery, awesome sailing and some damn nifty video editing. Thanks Erik.

Den bästa instruktionsfilmen jag sett ! Allt enligt boken och professionellt utfört . Best introduction film i have ever seen. You are a true survivior . Thank you. beste segler im welt.

Erik has his Viking DNA in him.

What you call a "weather window" amazes me. Then again, I'm fair weather Canary Islands sailor, not a northern Viking like yourself. The landscape is grandious and you capture it beautifully. Thank you. Greetings and best wishes from down south.

Most dangerous thing on a sailboat is a schedule. Great decision to turn around. I love your videos.

I've been a fan for some years , with out a doubt some of the best camera work on youtube. Thanks for putting in the time to produce these films.

Vendee Globe going on right now, stiff competition there Erik!

thank for another epidose. always time well spent while watching

I agree with Patrick, great call to head back on first attempt; respect Erik!

It takes a lot of fortitude to leave that nice safe peaceful harbor and launch into the angry ocean!

21:42 I wonder how many times I would have to slam my head into a plexiglass door/hatch like that before I learned to remember when I'm using the transparent one and not the original one. Thank you for putting so much work into filming your project and putting much needed positive inspiration on the webb!

Can't wait to see the next chapter. Thank you for sharing these amazing places that most of the world will only ever get to dream about visiting. Keep safe in these crazy times..

Immer wieder schön!!!! Lass Kacheln Erik!!! Für mich ein Segel Held, mit ganz viel Herz und Händchen!!! Allzeit gute Fahrt!!! 👏👏👏👍

Hi Erik. Very well done. It was a prudent decision to return under those conditions. Iceland is stunning. Their tourist department should send you a cheque for promoting it so well. I look forward to chapter 5. Regards. AL Vancouver.

Indeed to say just one thing.....WOW! You are awesome.......

You inspiring me to finish refitting my 30' sail boat as fast as I can)))

You da Man, no doubt! Jesus Erik. Yeah, Yeah

I live in Russia. I'm also a yachtsman. Your videos are wonderful. I hope that we will meet sometime! I wish you Good weather, good wind and good health!

I don't think I've ever seen you harnessed....my blood pressure thanks you !

Respect from Italy 🇮🇹

I don’t know how you muster up the balls to sail the open sea like this but it’s pretty amazing to watch. I’ve always been fascinated with the oceans but also pretty horrified to be out in the middle of it. Maybe one day I’ll try to overcome it. Seems like nothing in the world would compare to what you’re doing. Plus you only live once. Also blown away by the astonishingly beautiful shots/footage you got in the “exploring Iceland” portion of this video. It really shows how much people who only stay in American cities (or any cities) are truly missing out on. The earth is such a vast and still largely unseen planet with so much to explore, it’s almost a crime to not get out and see as much of it as humanly possible. I have to agree with you that sailing has to be the best way to explore our world. Thank you for sharing this thrilling adventure with all of us. It was truly breathtaking!

Amazing! no other words.

Thank goodness your Viking ness was over ridden by common sense!! Love your videos, love the sailing! It is a wonderful tour of the islands. I never would have known without your video. Thank you!

Amazing, so beautiful, those images of Iceland. Tak.

More adventure and excitement in this than any Hollywood CGI enhanced production. This is one of the best youtube offerings around. " I've got to eat this sh*t on a wobbly boat" Classic!!!

So glad you stayed in Iceland for a few days and discovered its beautiful island!

I completed a circumnavigation last summer on a 44 footer. Watching this terrific video I am feeling every wave as though I’m on a dirt bike going 50 over pot holes.

Gentleman don't sail to weather. 😳 Poseidon's nudge back to land provided you with an outstanding adventure. Your excellent story-telling skills and the beaut drone footage of unique landscapes made for another very enjoyable video. Thank you

Amazing video, thank you!

Your videos make me want to buy a blue water sailboat. I grew up sailing and sailing from the US to Europe has always been a dream

Smart decisions make the sailor , CHEERS !

Definetly the best sailing channel on KZfaq. Fantastic footage of sailing and beautiful scenery. A lot of the so called sailing channels could learn a lot from you. Well done, stay safe.

Thank you Erik once again you shown us your life, there is nothing better than getting out on our boats and setting sail, travel safe.

Very entertaining and exciting! You are a true sailor.....one to be respected. Thank you.

Great video Eric. You show it as it is. I sailed from Ireland to Faroes & Shetland in 1985. Fantastic & unforgettable adventure .

Great job as usual Erik. Thanks so much for taking all of us along with you.

Exhilarating sail and video. Refreshing to see sailing that isn't tropical water and sandy beaches. Cheers!
