Sailing to the last Icelandic port before Greenland I Chapter 6

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.

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.

Thanks! Just bought my wife a beautiful pink shirt. She is going to love it.

Not only a great and brave sailor, but also an outstanding content creator 💪💪

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.

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".

Hi Eric, I absolutely love your videos. I have lived aboard a 47 Vagabond for 20 years and had very good luck preventing rust and corrosion with Boeshield T-9. I would spray everything that is exposed.
Just one man’s opinion.
Keep up the great work.
Be well my friend. 👍👍

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.

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!

"I'm a little bit crazy myself but...." At which point you swerve the boom and carry on as if nothing happened 👌😎

During stressful times your videos always calm me down. I can't put into words how much I love your channel. Safe sailing!

Core stretching exercises and water will restore your back. Persistence!

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!

[davida]

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.

[Anthony-fcjl]

Glad you're feeling better and back out on the seas.

All the best Erik
best regards from Canada

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.

[rodrigosenra]

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!

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.

The best sailing vlog, the Viking that never gives up hope your ok Erik we are routing for you. Greetings from Ireland. 🇮🇪

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...
