A stormy North Sea crossing - Interview

Our local TV station, TV Haugaland, made an interview regarding my very stormy ride from Shetland to Norway February 2.
Consider this a warm up for the full video coming mid March.

Hold Fast!

Interview produced by @tvhaugaland.

It's what Viking warriors do. Nothing but respect for you, brother.

[marcofaustinelli]

That was a VERY GOOD interviewer: the way he asked so many open questions and let you free to answer to the length you wanted, the real attention he gave to you and your words. All this, together with the impressive story you had to tell, made for a great piece of reporting.

Amazing! You are a great sailor, Eric….And an inspiration to many of us. Thank you.

[Cptnbond]

All these years of thrilling sailing paid off, and you were mentally well-prepared for this challenging passage. Stay safe, Eric. Cheers.

Wow Erik !! Sir Robert Knox Johnson tells a story of being completely awash on deck holding tightly to the mast, brother you’re right there. Thank you Sir Erik. Glad you made landfall and are safe to go back when the weather improves.

Hello Erik, great extreme pictures. Don't let yourself be pressured, the sea won't hesitate to kill you. Man can survive things by using his abilities, but he has no demand to survival. The art is to survive for yourself and your loved ones. Therefore, good planning and the decision to cancel in good time are important. Anyone who constantly puts themselves in danger will die in it! We love you! Keep alive!

[arthurleroy]

Erik, you bring life’s challenges right to my screen… whoa!

[shutthedooronyourwayout]

I wear my N.B.S.J.S. Hoodie with pride 😉

[gregsage]

There are times when a couple of extra days in port are good - even for an adventurer. Loved the clip!

[murrayraff]

Fantastic Erik!!! You clearly did better than (almost?) anyone else would have in the conditions - what a fantastic sail, and great credit to you for your seamanship and care of ‘Tessie’!!!

[pauljessome]

Great sailing skills. Enjoyed your video . I have been in bad storms

[brevardfencecompany]

WoW your videos are amazing and I watch a lot of channels. I especially get excited when you drop a new video you deserve all the recognition. The North Sea seems like a frightening place. Thank God, you are safe.

[friarfoxz]

I had to change my shorts just watching this. You're the man Erik.

[donaldlyons]

Wow ! Quite the Ordeal. Good Job getting back safely ! Your Tessy took good Care of you also ! Be well brother
