Epic images. It doesn't have to be narrated. Pictures are telling the story. What a relief compared to all the self-publicizing sailing videos here on youtube. Thanks so much!
Thanks a lot for those words, I really appreciate them... I'm not a big fan of voice-over on sailing videos either ;-) Fair winds to you girls!
Could not agree more! But what camera work!
Agree 100%
Especially Sailing la vagabonde. It was my best channel before, and I was a patreon... But what they become now its full advertising. Worst sailing channel on youtube. Nice to see great sailing in grey sea!
ECHOED! Magnifique, perfectly anonymous, you have my huge respect Pandorak 2

Probably the most impressive video I've ever seen on UA-cam. What an amazing experience just to watch it.
Just bought a Monsun - Hull #710, this is probably the best video on YT
I grew up on the sea and have been watching literally hundreds of different sailing channels recently with a view to returning to this great love of the ocean.
This is without doubt the highest quality of photography and film editing that I have seen out of thousands of episodes of sailing. Please continue to make more, as these two videos have been for me absolutely the finest and most enjoyable to watch I have seen. Stunning documentary. Monumental adventure and achievement on many levels. Clear passion just for the love of it. Inspiration on every level and a joy to see what lies ahead for me. The North. Tusind Tak min ven. Det var det bedst.
A thousand thanks back, my friend. This is the most beautiful comment I've read. I never thought that these little videos, without voice-over, could really interest other people. It's a joy - and a real surprise - to discover that this is not the case. There are still a few of us who are longing for silence and salt... Good luck to you in all your future travels on the water!
I so loved your video. Great production, well done!
Thanks Barry. I am a big fan of your adventures too ! Fair winds
Amazing footage! you're a very good videographer and sailor.
Terrific video. Hope to see others from you. Best regards
You will! I'm heading back to the north next summer... Fair winds !
Terrific. I'll watch for you. I'm going to head North at least to the Shetlands as well, then cross over to Norway. I'll buy you a beer if we cross paths. Best regards
Ce sera avec plaisir Patrick! The Shetlands are amazing. If you can, don’t miss Fair Isle. I spent one week there on my way back. Truly amazing people (about 60 inhabitants + some crazy “birdies”). I’ll definitely go back there one day. Next summer I plan to sail to the west coast of Norway and explore the fjords around Bergen. But this time I would like to winterize Pandorak in Norway, in order to reach the Lofoten in 2019. Bon vent!
What kind of camera if you mind me asking?
I'm here because of Patrick. Thanks for the suggestion to watch an what an awe inspiring video.
It is probably the best sailing movie I have ever seen on UA-cam. The spirit of sailing.
Thanks a lot Piotr. Fair winds !
Exceptional! I could have watched an hour or two more and enjoyed every moment!
Beautifully, for me this are the two most inspiring sailing video’s on UA-cam, Faroe Islands and Norway. I’m a Belgian skipper and sailed mainly from the Netherlands to the south, but my next adventure wil go definitely to the north , sailing Norway to the artic circle and back viaThe Faroe Islands, Shetland Islands , Scotland and back. Thank you for sharing, Koen Hontelé
Stunning videography Pandorak! You've inspired me and so many others to cast off the lines and explore this incredible world. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and video making skills.
Simply exceptional, what an inspiration! Have been getting frustrated with so many rich kid, bikini clad, faux sailing 'adventures' on here. You have a rare talent, beautifully filmed. You convey your journey in such a visceral way. Thank you, I now know what i've been searching for all this time!
Wow. Thanks a lot Ewan !
Great journey, great boat and fantastic way of presenting your trip. No fake drama and hectic storytelling. Well done. Fair winds from Canada
Thanks a lot for those words Arek ! Fair winds!
An absolutely beautiful film of a natural sailor in his beautiful boat in her element. Well done! Pure Art!
Thanks a lot Avia... fair winds !
A cinematographer as well as a good sailor. This film is just perfect.
Tons of thanks. Fair winds!
@@Pandorak Your cinema skills are phenomenal. The way you protray the movement of the boat, the passing of time and the coming and going of weather. The way you inconspicuously capture adjusting the sails, laying/pulling anchor, plotting coarse. The way you capture the sounds of the boat, the water, the wind, the birds etc. Even sharing the catching and preparing meals. It all miraculously joins in a brilliant symphony of creation, life and seamanship! Encore, encore All the best
What sweet heaven have I stumbled upon here? I'd all but given up on seeking a sailing video that concentrated on capturing and documenting the journey and the destination in a natural way, the genuine bells and whistles. Beautifully shot and edited work
Amazing! One of the best sailing videos I've ever seen!
@@Pandorak they should go together with @Erik Aanderaa to Iceland it would be and amazing experience
Agree.
The scene with your arms out with drone fading away......quite simply awesome....; )
I just found this video ... and I watched it twice in a row. Keep posting...Now ...I'm gonna watch it again :)
Came back for more - I may not ever be able travel to these places - but i have no regrets my soul has traveled - what a breath taking views.... eagerly awaits for more .
Now that's sailing so many have forgotten what sailing is about thanks you so much great memories for me great shots of real sailing it's a privilege to sail with you
Thanks Mark!
In terms of music, editing and striking beauty, this is the best sailing video I've seen! Thank you for sharing this.....
Thanks Ed! I really appreciate that. Fair winds
Simply stunning! Thank so very much for posting this amazing footage. I hope one day that you can experience the Australian coast and maybe see Jack Johnson live. 🙋♂️
One of the best sailing videos I have ever seen.
It captures the connection between boat, sailor and the great ocean
Fair winds from warm seas
Je regarde une dizaine de vidéo comme celle ci par jour .
Mais vos deux vidéos m'ont vraiment giflé,d'ailleurs je crois que ce sont les seuls que j'ai regardé jusqu'à la fin du générique.
Du fond du coeur merci pour ces 11 minutes de rêve.
Skipper et artiste .
Certainly one of the best sailing videos ever. Beautiful photography, stunning aerial shots, perfect music, great editing - the pictures tell the story. Bravo!
Tons of thanks Bruce! I really appreciate your words. Fair winds and following seas!
Genuinely surprised you don''t have a million plus views. The job you did here is phenomenal.
This is solo sailing. Perfectly captured. Many thanks.
Cinematography is second to none!!!!!
WOW LES PLUS BELLES SÉQUENCES AÉRIENNES QUE J'AI VU DEPUIS LONGTEMPS.
BRAVO!
one person, one passion, one boat, one fish, one drone, one everything... life's to beautyful for giving it away to others...
Finally; a wonderful video worth watching! No grandiose intent; just a wonderful reminder of why we sail...
I keep coming back to review these 2 videos, absolutely stupendous!!
Très magnifique!!!!! Vers!!
That was one of the best films I have ever seen. Stunning cinematography, beautiful music. The ariel clifftop shots had us on the edge of our seats! Please, please, please make more. Although my wife has been to the isles before, she now wants to sail there, I'll need a bigger boat :)
Tons of thanks David ! If your wife want to sail there, you definitely found the good person ;-) . So count your blessings and go sailing, no matter the size of your boat (ok, I would say 24 foot is the minimum...) Fair winds and following seas to you two!
Prachtige film (ex?) buurman... Wat een spannend avontuur en mooie natuur! Mijn complimenten in elk opzicht! Groet Hans.
@Pandorak I looked up your channel on Patrick's recommendation and I am awestruck with this production of your - as is said in another comment here: no words needed.
I'm a local and know a tiny bit about sailing in Faroese waters, mainly from a traditional Faroese 5-mannafar, which is an approx. 20 ft open wood boat. I've also tried climbing mountains and bird cliffs, even the steep eastern end of Tindhólmur. And I have to say that those aerial shots and close fly-bys at Kallur and more actually gave some of that real life rush feeling which can be hard to convey through film, and you mastered it perfectly.
You and Patrick and Barry that old Seadog add fuel to my dreams of some day taking on some bigger boat and go exploring. Thank you! Cheers to good health and safe travels :)
Something splendid about this video... beautiful scenery...enjoyed
Capturing the essence of solo sailing...beautiful and fascinating, calm!! Thank you!
What a fantastic film...well done sir!
Extremely beautiful!! Thank you very much for making and sharing this magical film!
Very nice video, well done. We brought our Hans Christian 'Fair Isle' in Monnickendam and anchored off Hoorn on many occasions, lovely place. In fact all those towns on the Western side of the Markermeer and ijsselmeer are lovely.
What a beautiful, understated little film. I watched it twice!
beautiful sailing, beautiful boat, beautiful place and also great skipper and filmmaker
Thanks a lot and buona fortuna, capitano ;-)
This is the way a sailing channel should be. Exceptional footage, good music, gimbal stabilized, and looking at the destinations beyond just partying and restaurants. Amazing video.
My breath is taken away. I am in awe. Absolutely Beautiful!!!
Thanks a lot :-)
Fabulous, beautifully shot and very professionally edited, a delight from start to finish.
Thanks ! I really appreciate that. Fair winds!
Wow. Just one video? Would love to see more of your sailing adventures. Really enjoyed the aerial view of the Faroe Islands.
Thanks Dave! More to come this summer ;-)
A work of art! I lived in Hoorn for 9 years. Love the place! My youngest son still lives there, so I'm still visiting quite often. The Faroe Islands look absolutely amazing! Thanks so much for uploading.
Thanks Christopher! Indeed, Hoorn is a great place to live, especially for sailors! Fair winds!
Thank you man, I am preparing to take part of your journey this summer, you just put some more wind in my sails…
Camera work is absolutely stunning.
Your non narrated videos left us speechless!
B R A V O!!
The most beautiful sailing video I have ever seen. What an adventure!
Thanks Arthur!
Just perfect! Now I'm dreaming about sailing there with my boat, too! Warm greetings from Hoorn
Gewoon doen! Groetjes uit de Grashaven :-)
Pandorak Lig je nog steeds in de Grashaven? Zou leuk zijn om je een keer te ontmoeten, mijn boot ligt aan de Flevostijger. :-)
Hoi Leonie, graag! Pandorak ligt nu aan de wal maar zal in april weer in het water gaan, aan de Vlietersteiger, nr. 263 . Ik ben nu de boot aan het isoleren, wil volgend zomer naar Noorwegen zeilen (en daar de boot laten). Groetjes, Fabrice
All I have to say is this video inspires me from head to toe!
Brilliant camera work and of course, magnificent sailing. Well done.
Fantastic journey, fantastic video. Epic land and sea scapes. Thanks for sharing.
Merci Bog!
I have done a few passages and sailed most of my life although not for some time now. You made me remember how wonderful it is. What a superb destination and you were lucky with the conditions. A great trip.
Thanks a lot Thomas
Stunning !!!! Excellent drone footage!!
Beautifully shot and edited. Thank you so much for sharing this with us on UA-cam...but please....more!
Thanks a lot! I'll do my best ;-)
Bravo!!!!! Tant de créativité dans les cadrages, les mises en scène.
Merci pour le partage.
Bonne continuation
Merci Essam !

Absolutely sublime.
Thank you so much.
I have watched it many times and it's beauty never palls.
Thanks a lot Brian. Fair winds !
outstanding camerawork, perfect even without any words
A true sailor and explorer video! Thank very much for sharing your experiences. Keep sailing and sharing... Regards
Amazingly beautifully filmed. Absolutely among the best videos of sailors I've seen and I've seen MANY! A little funny ... I did not see your movie until today and the day you released it was about the day we bought a HR monsoon in an exceptionally good condition ourself. I dream of a trip like yours - from Denmark to the Faroe Islands. Jack Johnson is by far one of my favorites - appropriate music selection in the big water! Thanks for the great experience and for sharing! 🇩🇰 Best greetings from Denmark! 😃👍
Hi Kenneth, that's funny because I watched your videos before tou watched mine ;-) Mazurka looks in perfect condition. I wish you guys a lot of fun with that boat. Sailing to the faroe in summer is no big deal, especially with a Monsun ;-) Fair winds !
WOW, just amazingly captured on camera. Thank you!!!
You are very welcome Hans !
Awesome vid. Very real sailing. Stunning footage of the islands!
Thanks a lot Jeremiah ! Fair winds
BLOODY BRILLIANT MATE! staggeringly beautiful. I'm a solo liveaboard and that took my breath away. Thank you. S/V RESTLESS
Amazing video, very atmospheric, captures the spirit of sailing and the Faroe Islands so well. Keep posting these . . . please . .
extremely lovely landscapes and very nicely captured. Thanks a bunch for revealing this beauty. I can't resist to fly there and gaze at those peaks for hours or may be days. 8-)
Thanks a lot Rasul! If you like to hike, you should definitely fly there!
Simply stunning and sailing abilities one can only aspire to.
Tons of thanks James. Fair winds to you!
The background music and the island is beautiful !
Thanks Jade!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! Somehow You managed to put me on that boat. Nice job indeed. I love the horizon

Thank you Vim, I really appreciate that!
The best sailing video on UA-cam I’ve seen. A talented sailor and filmmaker. Please post more!
This was the most beautiful thing I've watched in quite some time.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Merci Razvan and happy new year 2020 !
Great video. Beautifully shot (of course, with scenery like that, hard to miss!). Thank you.
Thanks!
Great video....solo in the Northern Latitudes....not for the faint hearted! Well done Sir!
Thanks a lot Mickey! fair winds!
Excellent video! Really captured what it feels like to be there, and shows off those islands. That sequence from the drone with the cruising chute and the huge shark fin island was great! Hope there's more videos to come.
Thanks a lot guys! I plan to sail the Norwegian fjords this summer. Fair winds to both of you !
Cool, if you can create videos of the fjords in the same style as this video, they'll be incredible!
Welcome to Norway, should be possibilites for filming here as well :-)
Great video. You should produce more like it. Amazing quality and authenticity. Thanks!
Wow, great drone videography! Beautiful scenery. Good job. Thanks
Hi what a wonderful passage and video you have made!
I met you in Kirkwall marina on your way up after your passage from holland.
You showed me aboard your halberg wrassey 31 and we chatted.
I was in the marina in stromness aboard my kingfisher 20 francis prowd and came over to kirkwall on the sunday you were alongside at kirkwall.
What a great sail you had and more since no doubt
Good luck and fairwinds.
Thanks Francis, I remember you very well, we had a chat about Roger Taylor and Mingming ;-)
Fair winds to you too!
Als Welsh houden we van avontuur. Geweldige video en ik denk een beginnend filmmaker. Dank je.
Incrível! Seus vídeos são impecáveis: filmagem, seleção dos lugares, música, edição... parabéns!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so enjoying the sailing, day and night, and happy for your arrival to the Faroe's. What came next, I did not expect . . . such intensely beautiful views of land. Wow.
Thanks a lot Robert. I really appreciate that!
That was the most beautiful video. I am new to sailing and you are doing exactly what I want to do. Your video is my new happy place. I can watch it over and over again. So beautiful. La mer, c'est ma mere. Merci xoxo
Ohh…Magic Movie ! sailing dreams - wonderful views, remarkable trip…with a great boat ! Best sailingvideo here for a long time, thank you for posting !
Vielen dank Mary Read und Fair winds!
Absolutely awesome! Plus, HR 31 is one of my most desired boats. Congratulations how you pictured it all!
Thanks a lot! I like the dinghy too!
OMG! That has been one of the most amazing sailing videos so far. Goodness. There are so many wonderful journeys on youtube still waiting to be discovered. Thank you! Thank you for this quality of production and amazing journey!
Absolutely beautiful production and adventure. Keep it up!
Great video! Beautiful scenery!
This is an excellent video. You must make more. One is not enough for many of us.
Great work!!! No words needed.
Wow, simply wonderful, this video really made me emotional. I hope one day to do a journey like this!
I'm sure you will Miky. Thanks a lot!
quels coups fantastiques.
Tout comme vous rêvez de naviguer.
merci
Merci Fa!
Truly mesmerizing, captivating video. Well done
Thanks John!
Every single clip is a masterpiece, my congratulations on that.
It's always difficult to tell a story without the voiceover in the background, but in this case you managed to go even further: protagonists are the nature and the ambitions of a 41 years old boat!
Tons of thanks Giovanni... it's fantastic to read that someone understood what I tried to film. Fair winds!
Fantastic footage.
Watching from southern Tasmania.
Merci Adrian!
