Description: So here it is, my biggest challenge in my sailing career! Sailing solo across the North Sea from Haugesund, Norway- to Lerwick on Shetland the 26th of January. This made me and Sigurd the first ones ever to have crossed the North Sea solo to join the Up Helly Aa- festival on these beautiful islands... Some say crazy, I say crazy not to give it a try. This is how we develop and grow. Staying safe all the time wont get you anywhere. The video was hard to make. Its all about having the effort to pick up the camera when you really dont want to, and most important, trying to make a story out of it.. Seasick, cold and wet every minute. I loved it. Its all about making a plan and follow it. Theres only plan A. You dont think about plan B before you are forced to! Stay on your course and hold it steady! Youve might heard the words often attributed to Mr. Winston Churchill: "If your going through hell, keep walking" ;) Best regards Erik Music: Paddys Green Shamrock Shore/ Peat in the Creel T-shirts and merch: Europe: shop.spreadshirt.no/nbjs-factory USA & everywere else: shop.spreadshirt.com/nbjs-factory-usa My own canvas printed photographs from resent expeditions: erik-aanderaa.pixels.com My mothers canvas printed pictures: edith-odden.pixels.com Facebook: facebook.com/nobullshitjustsailing Instagram: instagram.com/erikaanderaa Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=3146656&ty=h PayPal: paypal.com/paypalme/erikaanderaa PARTNERSHIPS: Get 20% off all SILVA marine products using code "aanderaa20vip": click.adrecord.com/?c=39945&p=1082 Use promo code NBJS and get 15 % of all products at Teamo Marine: teamomarine.com
