An excellent video that showcases the natural beauty that is Norway. I really enjoyed the vistas from the climb you did and the harbors there are so lovely and quaint! Your last anchorage spot was very scenic and had a variety of terrain. Looks like beach access was outstanding! I have a friend, Erik Aanderaa, whose RUclips channel is 'NBJS' and he's based out of Haugesund. He's been trying to solo sail to Greenland and has gotten as far as Iceland a couple of times but something always comes up! You might look him up online sometime. I live and sail in SE Alaska. Very much a fjordland, with glaciers, icebergs, seals, whales, Orca, bears and salmon. The wildlife here is amazing and abundant. I own a nicely restored Catalina 27 sailboat and while she's small, she's modified for cold weather and her rigging is reinforced, as are her cleats. I do have to pic my weather carefully but she does well in 10-15 knots and can sleep 3 on berths that have been modified to make them larger when needed. She also has a custom galley, the size you'd find on a 38' boat. If Alaska is ever on your list, I can make some recommendations. Here's a video I shot last year, using my drone: ruclips.net/video/aKdjoKizrrM/видео.html
"Why do you want to go to Norway?" After watching this, the question has to be "why wouldn't you want to go to Norway?". Great photography, music and, of course, commentary. I've forwarded to climbing as well as sailing friends........
Oh my god I'm just now binge watching your videos which are amazing!!!! Norway is next o the list for me so your content is so inspiring. Fair winds to you both xx
Please keep making videos. This is such a grounded and realistic channel. I just discovered you and love see and hearing what you two have to say about sailing Norway.
Thanks for the lovely feedback We never planned to make any videos but after this trip we found we had so much amazing footage and our experience of sailing in the higher latitudes was something we wanted to share with people who may find it of interest rather than just boring our family and friends.
Wonderful. I was just north of you in August..cycling. But now you have pointed out the best anchorage ever, there might just be at least one catamaran there next year…mine. What date was this?
We used the Imray/RCCPF Norway guide and the "Norwegian Cruising Guide" (There are several regional editions of this one). For Navigation, we use Navionics+ charts on the chart plotter, O-Charts on OpenCPN on a laptop, and we also carry paper charts.
www.norwegiancruisingguide.com/ This is the one we used they are all in English. kartverket.no/til-sjos/nautiske-publikasjoner/den-norske-los These are also very useful if you can translate, though the one for Svalbard and Jan Mayen is in English.
We have to clear into customs and passport control at designated ports when we arrive in a new country, this has become slightly harder now the UK has left the European Union.
I’m really inspired by what you are doing. Your videos are brilliant. I’m very keen to cruise this area myself. I have contacted my current insurers who are not willing to underwrite this destination. Are you able to advise on yacht insurers who are able to insure for cruising Svalbard?
Glad you enjoyed the videos and managed to find some inspiration, hope you manage to organise the trip the area is amazing. We were insured by GJW who were already our insurers. As a word of advise put together a written itinerary and try to speak directly to the insurance companies underwriters as most insurance companies online application process will simple reject the request.
Thank you, we found your channel yesterday, interesting
Scott

Wonderful seeing Norway through your lens and SV Bushpoint’s lens 👍🦘
Another great video, your changes to the background audio levels is really good. Also the commentary audio L/R balance sounds much better.
Beautiful country

Outstanding scenery! Cheers from a fellow northern latitude sailor!

When they ship that dried fish...is it C.O.D.?
That's great...
If anyone else has any other fish jokes, let minnow.

How do you two fare with visas for touring these foreign places or do you need visas and are they any check points?
We have to clear into customs and passport control at designated ports when we arrive in a new country, this has become slightly harder now the UK has left the European Union.
Why you dont show also inside the yacht what happens?? Not only show nice views
