Hi again!
Join me on this windy, beautiful downwind ride to Isafjordur, Iceland. This is the last port before sailing over to Greenland. As usual things did not go exacly as planned.
Big thanks to the Australian musician Dustin Tebutt for making a soundtrack starting at 16:34 into the video, loved it Dustin! Check him out on UA-cam here: / @dustintebbutt
Also big thanks to Rolly Tasker Sails for helping me out with a brand new A5 heavy duty gennaker, after I ripped the last one in the North Sea. In this video you can really watch it fly!

Never seen a better sailing series in my life. Keep up the good work!! It feels like I'm sailing there with you.
I second this...
Erik Aandreaa is a true Norseman! He takes northeren sea as his play tub! HAIL!
@@erikaanderaa I saw you in my dream, you fell off the boat and froze to death before they found you, b ut it is not going to come true because you are always tied to the boat right?
Not only a great and brave sailor, but also an outstanding content creator 💪💪
That's the truth sometimes I'm so lost in the beauty of the story you forget that Erik had to film those drone shots and effortlessly weave them in.Just fantastic videography!
Agreed. This is a genuine pleasure to watch.
I stumbled upon your channel today and have now watched all of the 2022 Norway to Greenland content. Despite having disabilities I have made the first steps toward learning to sail this year, and seeing adventures like this only makes me more enthusiastic about my own new adventure! Take care of yourself Erik, and greetings from the UK!
During stressful times your videos always calm me down. I can't put into words how much I love your channel. Safe sailing!
"I'm a little bit crazy myself but...." At which point you swerve the boom and carry on as if nothing happened 👌😎
I saw that too! I've dodge the bullet many times on a Catboat.Serious offshore...I think a helmet,pfd and a tether would be prudent🙃
Ongelofelijk mooie tocht. Prachtige beelden.
That was the spirit of that dead woman: "Oj! Who says I was crazy?!" 😆
This is the best sailing channel there is, period. Wishing you a speedy recovery Erik. I'd rather see you get back to 100% and attempt this crossing than see the injury get worse on the crossing. Remember that without your health, you have nothing! take care of yourself. There is no rush. Well wishes from Toronto, Canada.
Hi Erik! I hope you are recovering well from the back injure. We are looking forward for the next chapter of your adventures. Thanks for sharing with us, we are all sorry to see you felling all that pain, but you are a strong young man and your will be ready soon! Best wishes from Brazil, man. Here we are finishing the hull paint this week, will be on the water soon!
Absolutely beautiful. The sea, Iceland's landscape, the well-sailed boat. Nicely done, and it's good to see today's chapter.
Thanks for reviving some great memories Erik. I too remember being surprised by rapidly shifting winds in the fjords: dead calm followed by 20 knots of wind a mile further along the coast. You've done a great job of capturing the experience on camera. Bravo.
Looking forward to your next adventure Patrick
Serenity and optimism described Erik`s adventyres. Almost like meditation.
Man what a most unfortunate thing to happen and so simple. Bro I hope you recover well and finish this epic voyage, but you will I know that because you have such courage. Sending you good energy from the Emerald Isle. Take care of yourself Erik.
That is such a happy sail. As soon as you had the spinnaker open it was just smiles!
8:03 "I'm a little bit crazy myself" and then dodges a gybing boom with no PFD or tether! Erik, you're a legend! Greetings from 47º 27' 47" N 52º 42' 23".
I feel for you, back injuries can be so painful and debilitating. Wishing you a speedy recovery
Off to buy more NBJS gear to keep you funded until you make it! I must keep supporting this beautifully shot, paced and edited series. Helly Hensen needs to sell Aanderaa signature gear so the rest of us can look as cool as Erik does...
I love your positivity and affirmations Eric. Sometimes this is all we need as individuals to move forward and succeed 😊 loving your chronicals
This is absolutely beautiful. Single handing has to be one of the most serene experiences in life
Never easy being easy, something will always come along. I trust in your decision making. Will be very much watching for the continuation of your journey. Health of the body temple is most important. Good recovery to you. Thank you for your fine sailing!
Hi Erik. That lower back pain needs careful management. I know only too well, personally, how debilitating it can be and a rolling boat just isn't an ideal situation to get it right again.
Great video once again and look forward to the next episode with you painlessly hopping around on the deck again. Good Luck
Hey Erik! Wishing you all the best for Greenland! I hope you recover well!
Oh Erik if it wasn't for bad luck you wouldn't have any at all! Looking forward to the next one! You're a Viking, please try to eat like one.. more meat less tasty buns!
Additional comment from me just to congratulate you on an excellent film and adventure you have put together for us. You don't seem to have much luck healthwise. Trust you are able to recover from your back injury and complete your epic sailing adventure to Greenland.
I've seen your cockpit so much throughout your videos, it almost feels like home.
Amazing to see her dance over the waves under full sail! Thanks for some amazing content stay safe!
love your adventures keep them coming thank you
Настоящий викинг! Твои предки гордятся тобой! Высококачественное видео и монтаж, приятно смотреть!
Erik, sounds like you might have slipped a disc in your back and it's pinching your sciatic nerve in your lower back. Are you having pain in your buttocks that also goes down the back of your leg? If so, go see a chiropractor to get your lower back cracked and adjusted. I've had this so bad once that I couldn't get out of bed for 3 days. The condition is medically known at 'Sciatica'. It's when a disc in the lumbar region of the back gets out of place and pinches this nerve. If you slipped and twisted while trying to catch yourself, you probably popped the vertebrae out of place and it's pinching the nerve. Can be very painful and not something you want to 'muscle through' while solo sailing.
I enjoyed the sail from Grundarfjordur to Isafjordur, especially when the wind filled in from behind, you popped the gennaker open, and Tessie took off! Like a race horse down the track! Doing 7 knots in 20 knots of wind means your apparent wind speed on the sail was 13 knots, about as much as a heavy, .75 ounce gennaker should handle. Good thing you weren't getting any higher gusts. Just one tip about gybing that sail: it was a good idea to blanket the gennaker by using the mainsail so you could furl it in. That's how that's normally done. I would also recommend that after the gennaker is furled that you center the mainsail traveler and tighten the mainsail sheet while the wind is still downwind and filling the sail, and THEN tack. This makes the distance the boom has to travel to gybe much smaller and decreases the load on the boom and main traveler when the sail goes from one side to another. I've seen tack points on the mainsheet break with sudden mainsail gybes where the boom goes all the way from one side to the other. Pulling the mainsail traveler to center and then tightening the mainsheet before you gybe will decrease the load put on where the mainsheet tacks to the traveler. This is especially important the harder the wind is blowing!
Feel better, go see a medical doctor or better yet a chiropractor and have then 'crack' your back! Keep us posted about the next step, whether that's the push to Greenland or otherwise.
It can go both ways with the chiropractor visit. Mine went south. For several hours after, I felt so much better, but then things started tightening up. In a few more hours I could no longer walk or even stand. Then, for about three days I had been sent to hell, the pain was so bad. Luckily I could find a neutral spot on my side. Where moving my left leg within a quarter of an inch was the pain-free zone. The pain eventually moved down the left leg and ended in the foot-ankle area. I've never gotten my original balance back in that ankle. An inversion table was a very helpful rehab program. Part of the problem was related to heavy intake of nitrate and phosphate preservatives in my diet... like Erik appears to do.
@@erikaanderaa So you've recovered?? That's good to hear. I can see how that would have happened after you stepped in that diesel. Probably would have happened to anyone in that situation!
Yeah, the gybe technique is a good one for heavy weather. Shit hits the fan in heavy weather if the boom slams over and breaks the attachment point on the main sheet to main traveler connection. The boom is then uncontrollable in high winds and high seas while the boat is pitching back and forth. Very dangerous! I had a similar situation last season when I helped deliver a 46' sailboat from Oregon to California here in the states and we got caught in heavy wind and couldn't furl the mainsail. The boom kept slamming back and forth, until we were able to get in the lee of an island (which blocked the wind) and were able to get the sail safely furled. If the shackle from the boom to the mainsheet traveler had broken during uncontrolled gybes, I can actually slam into the aft stays that are attached to the mast and bring the entire rig down!
Stay healthy and looking forward to you completing your awesome journey to Greenland!
GOD BE WITH YOU
On your journey in life, it seems to me your dreams are coming true. I'm happy for you. I wish I was a young man again and could do the same things as you .
Enjoy Your New Ventures. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to video it.
God-bless you walk with God in your travels ❤️
Thank you for showing us parts of the world I would not normally see. All the best.
I wish you a full recovery of your back, it is very important on a ship.
Lots of encouragement but little impatience, health is important to thoroughly enjoy what you do.
Best wishes for your next ambitious voyage.
Thanks! Just bought my wife a beautiful pink shirt. She is going to love it.
Oh.my goodness, it's amazing how a small twist and reflexive tightening of the muscles can end up being a disaster. We just can't walk it off like when we were in our twenties, eh? I tripped over a charging cable last year while getting up off the sofa. I didn't fall, but I heard a snap and a bright flame of pain lit up my foot. I had broke my 5th metatarsal. What a painful recovery that was. It took months. Well, I hope you're feeling 100% by now. I love your videos. Looking forward to the next installment of your journey
Outstanding! Hoping you bounce back from injury. God bless!
Erik, wow, sorry to see your troubles with back. Hope you recover sooner.
Godspeed.
Thank you. Your videos are awesome!
Where ever the bow points you do a amazing job sharing the adventure with us 👍👍
Yet again Erik, brilliant, enchanting footage of your adventure! Amazing the work you put in to make such a stunning journey for us to share. And now, Oh no! Your back... i wish you all the best with it mate... and you've left us all hanging as to whether you'll make it to Greenland! I hope your back heals, and i hope you do! All the best. ✌
You're amazingly brave! Sorry for your back, but it's just part of this extremely nice journey you've gently sharing with us! Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
Great job Erik ! Your a machine ! Also Thank you to the beautiful young lady for helping you again ! She is very helpful and has a great smile showing her caring personality !
I had to sell my boat because of my back 10 years ago. The will to succeed can be devastating. After many years of chiropractic and self-awareness, I have begun to believe that I might be able to get a boat again. The future will show. So take care of yourself and thank you for sharing for us who are sitting at home.
Thank you for bringing us the best of sailing wonders.
You are an inspiration, brother! Can't wait for the next one.
Hi Eric, nice movie. Good memories of my home territory for many years. Too bad we didn't meet. At that time I had already been in Greenland for 8 weeks. See you. Micha.
Hey Micha 😊, now you‘ve spoiled it 😅. I am an enthousiastic follower of your channel and of course Erik‘s as well and was a little hopeful that your wake would cross 😊. Maybe in a joint video some day?
Handle those locker's bro. Thanks for sharing your boat unlike any other sailing channels.
Kirsten you are amazing. Cant wait to see yours and everyone else’s films
I would love a hoodie with “Fear is just a lack of knowledge “ almost as much as I love your channel. Know that every time you embark on a leg, thousands of us are on that trek with you. ❤ I want you to reach Greenland almost as much as you do. ❤from Kentucky in the U.S.
Shit happens even to the toughest of us. Hope you stay calm and heal, for your about to head out to that beautiful Greenland. Carry on!
What an incredible trip. That new sail is a monster. Hope you felt better soon, It's amazing how such a relatively small thing can mess you up. Been there lol
Nate
Amazing how sometimes you can actually do less damage by falling than by stopping yourself falling. Recover well!
You are a true source of inspiration. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Sitting here in the comfort and warmth of my home , praying for you. So sorry about your back.
How you can use and recover a drone in heavy winds amazes me. I would be afraid to ask how many you have lost. I always look forward to your next video. Thanks Erik.
Sitting here on my Jeanneau 32 tonight as the temperatures plummet. A great way to spend the evening though watching these videos. I had a similar injury a couple months ago. It takes time to heal. Living on a boat doesn't help the healing process.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and travels, but most of all thank you for your gems of positivity and determination in the face of fears and uncertainty!
Thanks so much Erik, good to see you again. I have a suggestion, but i'm not a sailor and only someone who dreams i could do what you do. Would it not be a very good idea to get a strong belt around your waist that is connected to a very strong line connected around the mast? A 5 or 6 meters long line? That way you walk around easily without the line bothering you and if you go inside the cabin you just clip it off. Once you get used to it, i think you will hardly notice the line anymore. You are very experienced and concentrated at all times, but there is always this ONE second your not. If you fall over on the side (God forbid that) the line will make you end up behind the boat and you will be able to climb back on. Maybe my suggestion sounds like from someone who does not understand sailing, but personally i would make sure to be connected very solid to the boat at all times, after leaving port. So that if that ONE second comes, it will not have to be fatal. Think it over Erik. Hope to see many more of your fantastic adventures, thanks again for all you are showing us. Take good care!!
This dude is a true sailor
Hello Erik, I hope you get better soon and you can get to that long-awaited place. Hugs from Argentina South America
I very much hope you get all the way. I've been to Kulusuk, Greenland is beautiful as are the Faroes. You make something very challenging look so easy. Safe sailing Erik.
Extraordinary - solo, flying a gennaker - and a drone… amazing !
If you ever ever make it to Greenland and back, it got to be the most enduring sail trip ever done by man ... get well Erik, Eirik.
Thank you Eric ! one of the best you tube channels!
Fair winds!
Fantastic real life experiences and incredible videography, then topped off with great music..... keep it up Erik!
Hope your back gets better soon. It sucks to hurt your back, I've done it myself many times. A lot of people that sail do yoga. I used to teach yoga and I had a lot of sailors and water sports people coming to my classes. It really helps you when you do things like slip and fall. Most of the time you get back up and brush it off because your body is loose and relaxed. You don't need any equipment, so you can even do it on the boat while you're sailing around.
Look forward to your Greenland crossing, hope it happens soon...
amazing personality, amazing drone shots and storytelling.
Pain sucks. I hope you're doing well and am looking forward to 2023's adventuring.
Great sailing. Love it. Not just this episode. All of them.
Erik, Been watching you for a few years now. One of my favorite videos so far. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Hang in there! I'm betting you get to Greenland this time. If you don't, it's not for lack of heart or effort. But, you will get there.
"Fear is a lack of knowledge", that's a good one. Hope you recovered well from tour injury!
Best sailing Chanel on youtube! Love that black sail from Rolly tasker. Roids and UC not the best for ligaments, tendons or bones. Rest up, then Go Eric, go!
Erik sure knows how to make a cliffhanger.
So glad I found your channel! It's given me such great peace ,will be order merchandise to help out,Thanks and safe sailing mate!
Erik, many thanks, as your video brought back many memories of my time spent on the sy Patagonia last summer in Iceland and Greenland.
It was a pleasure to meet you in person on the quay in Isafjordur.
Good luck on your future journeys.
Amazing content and strength of character. Wishing you healthier days ahead and calm seas.
Stay healthy erik! I wish you the Best
Thank you for taking us on your journey with you. I wish I could sail but my stomach won't let me. Guess my way of sailing will have to be by watching you. Keep up the good work and speedy recovery!
The quality and drone quality is amazing. Love watching this videos!
What a wonderful arrival in Iceland!
Super perfectly sized headsail Erik. V cool. Great decision 🤙🏻🏴☠️
Sorry to hear about your back Erik. I got stuck in our boat. The pain wasn't as bad as yours but I couldn't climb the companionway. That was Monday. Drs Tuesday, surgeon Thursday. Surgery the next Tuesday. Climbing stairs again on Wednesday. 9 days start to finish. Good luck and see a doctor!
Lol love it . That little 35 footer would make it around the globe.
Thanks Erik Aanderaa!
Oh Eric I do hope you have recovered. I like you, as your footage is real and you keep on keeping on. All the best ,. I'm waiting for further vids. All the best again with love laughter and light.
Hell Yeah brother we've been with with you the whole way for the past 3 years...!
NBJS!
Cross my fingers for your speedy recovery. Hope you’ve gotten a good doctor or therapist over there.
But I can’t express enough how awesome your videos, story telling and editing has become. Thanks for taking us along your journey
Ps. being so close to the North American Continent, have you ever considered to try and make it all the way to Labrador/Newfoundland ?
Always very exciting sailing. You always seem to be wearing a T-shirt even though the temperature seems cold. Fair winds and best of luck.
Erik re your back , all my adult life I've had back problems, I'm 74 and have been enjoying a very active life since getting onto rare earth magnets over 20 years ago $10 from the local hobby shop, they seem to reduce the inflammation somehow and solve the problem, great video, good luck with the back, nothing more debilitating.
That genacker look’s really good 👍 😀
I wish you all the best and that your dreams come true and that your health withstands these endeavors. The best sailing channel!
Absolutely love your adventures and videos, I think they are the best around... But it's heartbreaking seeing you get injured and not being able to fulfill your goal to sail to Greenland... As always I wish you the best because you deserve it.. 🥂🍸🍻💖
an incredible adventure and good filming, take care of you and recover quickly
Another great video. I hope your back gets better soon and I look forward to the next chapter.
Hi Erik, you certainly have had your fair share of troubles to overcome on your journey to Greenland, as someone who has also injured their back in a similar way, a piece of advice. Having pulled your back the muscles will spasm whenever you sneeze. To stop further injury when you feel you're going to sneeze cross your arms over your chest and tension them, this, I find stops the back muscles from spasming during the sneeze and further delays to the recovery time.
get well soon erik , take it easy mate , see you on the next one
Amazing, just watching Vikings series and imagining them doing this trip in long boats!!!
Cant believe how good your videography is. I love that black sail, i need one for my melody, similar vintage to tessie :-)
Watching this while in Greenland is very cool 😁
805th subscriber LIKE; 4K+ desktop phantom shipmate & ride-along. Again - the drone footage - WOW! 7:49, 8:22, 12:51, 23:30, and others.
Always a wonderful watch Eric congrats every time. It’s so great to have all the amazing drone footage of places not many dare to cruise - myself included! Your diesel spill along with being singlehanded shows how easy it is to have an accident. Thanks for sharing all in your vids, got everything crossed you manage it this time!
Jacked my lower back lifting weights many years ago. Now every once in a while I do something dumb and can't walk for days. Totally empathize with you situation and laughed with you as it was obvious you were at the mercy of your body recovering. Best of health to your back Mr. Viking. I rarely watch 30 min videos but I watched yours.
Stay strong Viking Erik!
