The cinematic colours set you apart from other sailing vlogs, you make wonderful videos with beautiful scenery.

please do more sailing along norway coast and tell us about the history and show us the amazing landscapes. excellent storytelling and awesome filming are by far not enough words to describe your very motivational and deeply inspiring work.

You choose the course, you choose the sails and you choose what you gear to wear. If you are more confident moving around on deck without a lifeline to trip over then that is what you do (it's how I do it too)... you shoot your video how you want. To be honest I was so focused on the content and what you do and say that I never even noticed anything about the colours. You could film in b&w or sepia and it would still be great.

The production quality of your channel is way ahead of anything else on KZfaq and for me the cinematic colors have become part of it

Hey Erik, I love your content through and through, you're by far my favorite sailing channel on youtube. I personally think the filters add to the wonder and excitement of your videos and I'd love to see them stay but I'd be careful not to overdo them, and sometimes even ditch the filters altogether for some segments. Amazing work, keep it up

The natural colours felt raw and real. That said, I think you can mix and match as you please to maintain your aesthetic and personal style. Saludos from the Mexican Pacific coast.

The sun is out in my part of Newfoundland, I just had a great lunch, now having a cup of tea, and noticed that YT was telling me Erik Aanderaa uploaded a video just a few moments ago...this is turning out to be a fine Friday!!

I prefer the dark filter, its your style ! It makes it feel more cinematic. Big fan, will be sailing the North Seas in the America's soon. Cheers !

When sailing solo, it is unlikely you'll be able to regain the deck if you go overboard, even if you are wearing a harness and tether. However, you can design a jackline system so that the majority of the time, the tether will keep you aboard. There is no solution for the bow, however.

Definitely natural colours. Thanks for another great vid :)

Love the natural colors and your journeys.

Natural colors! I too am Norwegian. Surname is Byvik. I also have terrible wanderlust.

That island looks like paradise. Norwegian coast is on the list of sailing destinations.

Another stunning video! Thank you, Erik. I don't believe people should tell others what to do, so if you, with all your experience, want to be on deck without a harness and safety line, it's your choice. As for the colours: the ocean and the places you visit are so beautiful in their own colours I don't see the need for artificial colours. But, once again, it's your video, so you do as you please -- I'm happy just to be able to travel with you virtually.

Eric, Thank you once again for sharing your adventures with us! I especially appreciate how you honor the history and mariners who have gone before you! Fair winds and Following Seas!!

It doesn't matter which colours you use. I watch you for you adventures and the seascapes you encounter. Well done to you Erik. Happy sailing.!!!

Thanks Erik, I like the natural colors! Keep pressing on!

Your story telling is wonderful, and you're attention to detail is part of that. No harm in the cinematic feel. It adds to your storyline.

You make the best video’s of sailing. You can feel the power of the sea by watching it and I never thought, it’s that beautifully up there in the north. You are a fantastic ambassador for Norway, North Sea and sailing. Happy looking forward to the next videos. Stay safe and NBJS!

I think falling down or tripping because of your harness beats watching your boat sail away without you in it after you fell over board. Christian Williams always wore his harness on all his solo voyages to Hawaii. He kept the jack lines and deck clear so he could move around, and practice doing so in the dark just to make sure. You're a professional sailor, wear your harness. 🤝🤝👍👍👍👍

Erik, you’re courage and sailing skills are nothing but incredibly admirable. Grattis grattis!

I love the cinematic colors. It differentiates you from others. You have style in your artwork and it’s the main reason I like watching your content!

Another fantastic experience, Erik. Thank you for the hard word. Personally, I prefer the cinematic look. From my point of view its your USP, unique selling point, and sets you apart from other sailing channels. Fair winds!

Erik, I like the cinematic colours you use - it kind of represents that quality of the viking that you evoke. Keep it up man.

I’ve been glued to my computer for the last couple of days. It’s great to see another video from Erik pop up, to take me on an adventure, away from the troubles of the world. Thank you for this.

what a beautiful place and an amazing video! thank you for taking us along!

My first year with a small boat & already have over 200 miles, love your courage/ spirit of adventure your very talented & inspire me! I to believe life is to short to watch from the sidelines....

Erik...natural colors !!!..thanks, it's fantastic.

I like the natural colors best. The trip to visit Kvitsøy was very interesting. It's a beautiful little island. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us! Stay safe and well.

I love your video's. I feel a bit free by watching it. I have pain and the war within myself is on. I need freezing water to cool me down. Thank you for the cold waves Viking!

Sooooo good that you are back :-)

14:17 says it all! I believe LIFE is a celebration!! You have entirely found your niche, bringing the past to the present with historical commentary and cinema graphic glory, while including your audience. Filter or no filter, harness or no harness you should keep doing things your way. The end result is always something you keep everyone wanting more of. Cheers to another epic sailing adventure and video. Nicely done, Erik!

Well done! Thanks for taking us along on your most excellent adventures!

I like the natural colours Erik. Thanks.

Exciting as always.

My grandfather immigrated from Norway, thoroughly enjoy your videos, sail on!

Hands down THE BEST sailing channel on YT. Skol!

I love the natural colors.

Keep the videos natural - it's how I like to see my country portrayed 😉 About the safety harness: *No Bullshit, Just Wearit!* Yrs and yrs ago I was skippering a >50" classic meter boat from Copenhagen to Stockholm for a boat show. We were only 2 guys onboard, both experienced sailors, and decided it was OK to go as a storm had passed and we expected fair aft winds up the Baltic Sea coast. However, the waves were still considerable as we ploughed forward at 9-11 knots on mostly a broad reach. Suddenly a massive wave hit the yacht and bcs it was long keeled it shook the 40 ton as it was a cup of tea. Minutes before my buddy had been tightening the main haul on the aft deck, had unclipped his harness to climb forward, but lost the balance as the wave hit. I will never forget the sight and my frustration when he disappeared in the waves. I can still recall the massive fleet of helicopters and rescue boats steaming towards me as I managed to steer to the nearest port. I also recall when the police officer said he was found eight hours later. However, I truly cannot recall much from the funeral. Since then harness is obligatory on my boats while idiots are obligatory not welcome.

I like the natural colours👏

I totally get and admire both the premise of the channel and the format of the videos. Very cool indeed by especially combining both sailing culture and Norwegian history and culture. I dig that you exposed the viewers to Norway’s maritime communities.

Hey Erik. "If it ain't broke don't try to fix it". Cinematic all the way. Helps transport us all into another world.... Love your work.

Erik Love you videos my friend. You open up a world where few of us know exists. Keep them coming.

I like the cinematic colours 💪✌️

Yes Natural Colors Please 👍👍😊😊 Great narration, Great storytelling, another brilliant video, thank you Eric 👍😊 Love the Editing 👍😊

Amazing videos. Amazing content. I am land locked in the Midwest of the US. Watching your channel is like actually going on an adventure with you. Without out all the danger, of course. I usually watch with my feet up and a big smile on my face, and say wow every few seconds. I have seen things and been places by watching your videos that I would never have seen. Thank you for taking us along.

When I was at sea fishing on the west coast of BC Canada, I never wore a harness or line because we didnt have one, plus youre right it would get in the way and catching shit and stopping you from properly doing your tasks and it would make it more dangerous. Thank you Erik, this channel brings back a lot of good memories. I love it on the ocean.

Natural colours are amazing. But I love the wide panoramic drone shots and the theatrical colours too.

Makes sailing look incredible

Beautiful video, I loved the views of the island and those lovely paintings, tak Eric.

Happy to be a Patreon! I'm looking forward to your travels to Scotland.

I liked the natural LUT. Another great video. Drone footage is so good now. And the story structure. It's great to see this channel evolve.

We love your videos just how you make them, don't change for other people, let them make their own videos how they want to!

Erik, thank you for sharing Kvitsoy with us. It is a beautiful town on the coast of Norway. I appreciate your fine cinematography and seeing your sailing adventures. Keep it up Brother you are a credit to your Norse ancestors. I look forward to your next adventure.

its really important to recognize and thank the people working tirelessly to keep track of marine safety and traffic so good on you for taking the time to publicly do that, we never know when we may need to call on them and they rarely get thanked for the difficult jobs they do

I love this show, because here & there I dream the same. Thank-you Sir.

Beautiful little sail, thank you! Can't wait for the big Greenland voyage! Fair winds Erik!

Nice to see you again Erik ! Always nice to discover your country by sea !!!

Natural colours!!

Keep the colors the way they were, your videos are mesmerizing and beautiful.

Cinematic for sure. Your channel is as much a videographers channel as it is a sailing channel. Consistently beautiful imagery.

Very well done Erik, as always, it was a pleasure to go on a virtual sailing trip with you! Stay safe!

Thank you Erik! Your channel brought me to these beautiful places.

Excellent again Erik. Natural colours for me sir.

This is your story to tell. My wife and I love what you've done so far. Please continue to use your own aesthetic in choosing color grading. Keep telling your story, and stay safe out there!

+1 for the cinematic look!

Another perfect video. Great sailing and a nice history lesson. I'm very glad you have the time to put towards plenty of sailing these days.

I love these videos about your coastal communities....to us here in the US it reminds us of the old days here. Still it is very Norwegian and so unique. I pray that God will keep your country safe and your culture un-spoiled by foreign influence. Thank you for sharing !!!

For the type of videos you are making, Erik, I love the feel of the cinematic filter. It is your art!!

natural colors is the best,great videos man!

As usual, always amazing. It's a pleasure to dream of Norway and sailing thanks you Erik. It's very important to leave confort and live greats aventures on sea like you do. (I went in Norway from France last summer with my old 30 feet sailboat Ar Morgar, vidéo youtube). Good Luck for your next great adventure.

Always looking forward to your next story. Never been disappointed! Keep it up. Going to Helgeland this summer in our 37 foot sailboat.

The cinematic colors are what makes you so special, and easy to watch. Almost like you are watching National Geographic. I personally love it. ❤️❤️❤️

I would just add about colors... if it's a beautiful wave or a beautiful sunset or something like that, the whole thing is a work of art. Whatever colors look best, are best!

I would say use whatever colors you like, this is your creation. It’s awesome no matter what.

So glad you stopped to look & feel the paintings on the fence ~ "Like the writing on the wall" Carry-on

Arrived at Kvitsøy today due to your video! Thanks for the inspiration! Grtz from HR36 Kendu from the Netherlands!

Great to see You again :)

Erik, Love your channel for sailing, content and your extraordinary filming, and editing skills. You are the best judge of which filters to use. Love sailing the North Sea(s) with you!

Your camera work is amazing, many thanks.

I like the cinematic effects the best :)

7:50 Leave your videos in their natural colours!! Your viewers like your channel because it's realistic, straight up, and not gimmicky. No Filters, Just Sailing! 🙂

Cinematic. Love your videos brother.

Your boat amazes me how it sails. Looking forward to the Scotland trip !

I got a NBJS shirt for Christmas and was happy with the quality! Fruit of the loom ! And it’s now my favourite shirt not only because of NBJS but because it is comfortable! Thank’s

We missed you. Welcome back.

I like the cinematic colors looks richer more custom

This is my pre sail motivation. I think your filters are great, you produce great content so the filters don’t really matter. But Watching your channel is all sailing and no bull shit, just how we all like it.

Stay with your cinematic colours. It’s such a unique colour that clearly identifies you and draws me in to each video. 👍🇦🇺

I like the cinematic adventure feeling and being from the Pacific Northwest I really enjoy seeing all around the North Sea it’s seems kinda the same but then so different. I couldn’t agree more about respecting our history and sharing what makes us unique no matter who we are we’re all unique in someway that make it exciting to see and learn about other people and places. Awesome NBJS👍👍

Your films are brilliant and I love watching them. I've had a lot of fishing holidays in the lovely Norway and Ive loved every bit of it and these films remind my why! Best wishes for your next adventures and I look forward to seeing them. Best wishes.

Thank you for the video! with better color processing) your video has a special immersion, like in a movie. I always look forward to new releases, especially at this time they are like a ray of hope that everything can be fine. I'm writing from Russia and we've got some madness going on here. Please take care of yourself and tie a safety rope.

Congrats Erik! Great channel and inspiration! Loved with natural colours

I am glad you are back! I prefer natural lighting since it’s closer to the reality of sailing.

So glad to discover your channel ! After only 5 minutes of watching I’m already on board with you . Much respect to you for honouring your heritage and discovering it for yourself. I’m brand new to sailing and learning as much as possible as soon as I can and thoroughly enjoying living vicariously through people like yourself sharing the passion for sailing. …in regards to your colour for the videos, I like the natural as we can see Mother Nature at her finest .

As a new sailor, I really appreciate your channel/videos Erik, thanks for that. :)

Cinematic 👌

Awesome videos. Always waiting for new ones from Canada!!

Thank for great sailing videos. Thank you for listening to the fears of others and Not bending to them. May they develop the courage and ability you demonstrate.

I have to comment on solo sailing without a life line. I understand solo sailing with a sense of freedom and ease. I have done it myself. I changed a bit after coming up on an apparently abandoned beautiful sailboat on my way to Hawaii. Long story; I feared pirates, but after investigation and boat identity papers on-board, I found out it belonged to a solo sailor on his way to Hawaii too. He fell overboard and the boat sailed on. Sent chills through me. It's still out there, but the family was grateful to know. I'm more careful now! Thanks for your great videos and narrative on sailing northern waters. As a Scotsman I prefer northern waters. Good luck!
