Sailing from Iceland to Faroe Islands. Gale force Chaos! Chapter 4. 

Really tough sailing conditions Erik. Great decision to turn back on the first attempt, but the second passage to Faroe was a real test of seamanship too. Bravo my friend. Inspiring.

Good job, no bikini girls in the tropics like all the other channels. This is real sailing.

What to say...? Never seen such epic video of sailing made by ”amateur" sailor. Unique on youtube and terribly entertaining and addictive. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Your drone shots are world class!

NBJS living up to its branding. Its like watching pro documentaries filled with inspiration, thank you Eric

Everyone would desire to have a sailing teacher like you!

Incredible. Simply incredible. There are no words for the miracles God has given to us upon this beautiful Earth. Thank you for sharing them! 🙌💞🦋🌈✨

The scenery is just beautiful words can’t give it justice in its beauty

This should be Erik's full time occupation. We should lobby National Geographic or Discovery on his behalf. Brilliant stuff!

You are truly a Brave Man and an Extraordinary Sailor...your videos are so addictive!!

Gotta luv this guy no B.S.Just raw sailing and adventure never boring 👍

Hands down the BEST sailing channel on YT! Need to take a sip now from my margarita and move out of the sun.

Erik. Your videos are simply the best sailing videos on You Tube. Magnificent work.

Excellent job, Erik! Glad you turned back to Iceland. Scrubbing a bad mission is a sign of maturity! Well done.

That was phenomenal .... viewing , Who needs terrestial TV when you have content of this high quality ,,

That's my Friday night sorted!

Easily the no1 sailing channel!

You are never alone. I'm sure God and the spirits of ancient explorers are with you. Thank you for bringing us along.

I’m taking sailing classes right now and this is the most fucking honest channel about this topic on youtube. Thank you!

Magnificent as always. I enjoy so much NBJS adventures.

Getting woozy just watching the boat. You are a hero. Wow.

"Probably going to be bumpy" . What a sailor you are. Love your no bullshit videos!

Was für ein grandioses Land. Sympatische Menschen und Natur, Natur und Meer

As soon as I saw Fettifossen I thought, "whoa, that's the waterfall from Prometheus!"

The Viking's videos are awesome - mind-blowing. The worlds he explores are out of this world...like from a science fiction movie...national geographic would make use of all his videos...sailing videos couldn't get better than this..

You are a true Viking and may the wind be with you . Thanks for sharing some of the greatest content there is on RU-vid :)

Let’s Go. This guy is a beast!!

Immer wieder schön!!!! Lass Kacheln Erik!!! Für mich ein Segel Held, mit ganz viel Herz und Händchen!!! Allzeit gute Fahrt!!! 👏👏👏👍

Norwegians , if it ain't cold and miserable out , we're miserable. These videos are epic , this would be on my bucket list if I thought in my wildest dreams it was even possible for me . My yacht is stuck in a lake no where near any ocean.

We admire your crossing of the stormy Norwegian Sea !!!

So beautiful images and words. So beautiful can be our world. Sailing in the best way to discover all this beauty. 👍👍👍💪💪💪

Glad that you were stuck in Iceland! Thank you for the beautiful footage!

Indeed to say just one thing.....WOW! You are awesome.......

Why aren't more men like you, brave, fearless? Great adventure!

Erik has his Viking DNA in him.

Amazing video, thank you!

Most dangerous thing on a sailboat is a schedule. Great decision to turn around. I love your videos.

A true Viking Spirit and all that great footage alone ! Simply put "badass" !

Respect from Italy 🇮🇹

4:22 .."it's probably gonna be bumpy" So basically another pleasant day of sailing for Erik.

We were exhausted and sea sick by the time you got to Faroe Islands. What an epic piece of film making. Not only did you do the camera work, the editing and directing, but you also had to sail the boat. You are heading for legend status Erik.

Den bästa instruktionsfilmen jag sett ! Allt enligt boken och professionellt utfört . Best introduction film i have ever seen. You are a true survivior . Thank you. beste segler im welt.

God decision to turn back to Iceland... not only due to the weather conditions but also because Iceland really is a place to explore. Fantastic vide! Thanks a lot for sharing. Fair winds!

Very entertaining and exciting! You are a true sailor.....one to be respected. Thank you.

Brilliant viewing. Thank you Eric !

"Awwww...had to turn back to port and get stuck for...WAIT...that means DRONE FOOTAGE TIME!" Great footage as always, Erik!

Smart decisions make the sailor , CHEERS !

I, and my friends refer to you as the modern Jaques Cousteau! Your journey makes our lives better and we send our energy for the kilometers ahead!

You weren't going back into the fjord with your tail behind your legs, but with you head held high, knowing that you took the right decision which is always part of being a skipper! I was in Haugesund in 2012 when we sailed to Norway in 1 go from the Netherlands a became there drunk. Very hospital country and friendly people.

Fantastic video...as usual. Congratulations

I can’t believe you just continued directly from Faroe Islands. I imagine you must have been longing for a good night’s sleep so bad, at that time. That is hard core.

Erik, your videos are fascinating and allow us to discover landscapes that otherwise we would never have had the opportunity to see. You are an exceptional sailor, however I find that you do not take enough safety by often neglecting the lifeline in extreme weather conditions. Good luck and continue to thrill us with your adventures.

These are the vids I like. No bullshit, just sailing. Keep on the good job Erik Martin..

So glad you stayed in Iceland for a few days and discovered its beautiful island!

İnanılmazsın Erik, dediğin gibi NBJS.👍👍👍

That is beautiful country.

What spectacular beauty! I’m blown away!

"That was not in the weather report". That's Iceland for you! LOL 🤣 Get used to it...

Dude, I swear your my fricken hero...best sailor I have ever seen!!! I wish I had the courage to sleep on the settee while single handing, I always pass out in the cockpit lol.

You da Man, no doubt! Jesus Erik. Yeah, Yeah

Brilliant Erik. I sailed Tessie in these waters for 13 years, but never to Jan Mayn or Iceland. Love to see your fantastic filming and warms my heart to see Tessie doing what she is made to do - passages I heavy weather... Keep up the brilliant and inspiring work Erik. Regards Dag H on SV Escape

Fantastic Sailing - love your spirits and heartiness....fair winds !

Hi Erik. Very well done. It was a prudent decision to return under those conditions. Iceland is stunning. Their tourist department should send you a cheque for promoting it so well. I look forward to chapter 5. Regards. AL Vancouver.

It takes a lot of fortitude to leave that nice safe peaceful harbor and launch into the angry ocean!

Really enjoyed that, unbelievable colours of the landscapes... thanks Eric

One of the best journeys and good captain too.

Great video Eric. You show it as it is. I sailed from Ireland to Faroes & Shetland in 1985. Fantastic & unforgettable adventure .

Always the best sailing videos

Thank you Eric the 🌎

Exhilarating sail and video. Refreshing to see sailing that isn't tropical water and sandy beaches. Cheers!

I don't think I've ever seen you harnessed....my blood pressure thanks you !

I agree your drone shots are perfect. Love your music too.

Thank you, fantastic, what an adventure.

21:42 I wonder how many times I would have to slam my head into a plexiglass door/hatch like that before I learned to remember when I'm using the transparent one and not the original one. Thank you for putting so much work into filming your project and putting much needed positive inspiration on the webb!

With a world lockdown your adventure is a welcome respite.

A story well lived and well told. Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding voyage... Spectacular... Not a journey for whimps or pretenders either...

The awesome Viking warrior returns with another spectacular episode. Spectacular scenery, awesome sailing and some damn nifty video editing. Thanks Erik.

Thank you Erik !

The main thing is that the boat is in very good technical condition. And spare parts for engines. Larger waves 20 meters north without a motor make it difficult to keep a balance between changing wave currents and reversing wind directions.

Thanks for your videos. As a sailboat owner myself I really enjoy them. Greetings from Iceland.

Amazing!!!! Watching from Washington state and I think your videos are incredible! Thank you. My heritage is Norwegian and I’ll never see this in person so I’m very grateful.

Wow, just wow!

Thanks Erik /Garry/Ireland

Your videos make me want to buy a blue water sailboat. I grew up sailing and sailing from the US to Europe has always been a dream

I live in Russia. I'm also a yachtsman. Your videos are wonderful. I hope that we will meet sometime! I wish you Good weather, good wind and good health!

Thank you Erik once again you shown us your life, there is nothing better than getting out on our boats and setting sail, travel safe.

Outstanding production, thanks.

I don’t know how you muster up the balls to sail the open sea like this but it’s pretty amazing to watch. I’ve always been fascinated with the oceans but also pretty horrified to be out in the middle of it. Maybe one day I’ll try to overcome it. Seems like nothing in the world would compare to what you’re doing. Plus you only live once. Also blown away by the astonishingly beautiful shots/footage you got in the “exploring Iceland” portion of this video. It really shows how much people who only stay in American cities (or any cities) are truly missing out on. The earth is such a vast and still largely unseen planet with so much to explore, it’s almost a crime to not get out and see as much of it as humanly possible. I have to agree with you that sailing has to be the best way to explore our world. Thank you for sharing this thrilling adventure with all of us. It was truly breathtaking!

NBJS, that’s what it is... fantastic..great video again

I completed a circumnavigation last summer on a 44 footer. Watching this terrific video I am feeling every wave as though I’m on a dirt bike going 50 over pot holes.

Broadcast quality. You are killing it mate! Thank you. 🙏🏻

Thank you thank you!!

Absolutely stunning!⛵

Gentleman don't sail to weather. 😳 Poseidon's nudge back to land provided you with an outstanding adventure. Your excellent story-telling skills and the beaut drone footage of unique landscapes made for another very enjoyable video. Thank you

Thank you for sharing your videos! its wonderful where you sail!!!!! wow!!!!!

What you call a "weather window" amazes me. Then again, I'm fair weather Canary Islands sailor, not a northern Viking like yourself. The landscape is grandious and you capture it beautifully. Thank you. Greetings and best wishes from down south.

Top quality in every frame!

This is so cool to watch also there are some Amazing clips in this video

Two Thumbs Up Erik !
