    Terrific video Erik. You perfectly captured the stress associated with crossing the Norwegian Sea when she is not in a good mood. Bravo.

    Ever notice how seasickness seems to evaporate away when you're scared and busy handling the boat? When non-sailors ask me if there's any cure for seasickness I tell them, "Yes. Terror." Well, that and sailing all the time. But sometimes it's not possible to sail on the ocean multiple times per week in order to keep your sealegs and you just have to tough it out.
    Another great video. I look forward to the next chapter in this saga.

    You always leave me impressed Erik! One thing- consider installing an Antal mainsheet track and slider system. I have one and it allows me to reef under load either upwind or downwind. Important when the main needs to come down quickly in big wind. Hope the next leg is less demanding.

    I have watched every one of your videos - and I’ve just realised why your channel fascinates me so much……it is because you are probably a nutcase and attempt passages that i would never dream of making. You have my total respect and admiration. Keep going Erik and safe travels.

    Hey Erick, being single handed most of the time, have you ever thought of equipping the boat with an electric winch, specifically for the main. Is that a possible add on? That would make sailing easier, not to mention safer. "Crossing the North Sea - Norway to Orkney Islands," is an intriguing escapade, cant wait for follow-up episodes.
