It's what Viking warriors do. Nothing but respect for you, brother.
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.
All these years of thrilling sailing paid off, and you were mentally well-prepared for this challenging passage. Stay safe, Eric. Cheers.
Yes, Erik's experience paid off but it seemed like he was a bit too close for comfort on this voyage. I think he now knows his limits all too well.
Amazing! You are a great sailor, Eric….And an inspiration to many of us. Thank you.
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!
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.
Caan't wait for the full vid!
As dreamy as it is to watch folks bob around the Med, or Caribbean...THIS is inspiring! Great job Capt on keeping your wits!
Beautiful story-telling, thanks, Johan, the Netherlands
Respect from Turkey, great sailor And adventurer Eric
There are times when a couple of extra days in port are good - even for an adventurer. Loved the clip!
I had to change my shorts just watching this. You're the man Erik.
So glad you are safe!
NBJS writ large. This was a bit more than just "sailing." Mad respect Erik.
Epic story, cant wait!
Erik and the Ocean always deliver!
This is unbelievable ,what to say , breathtaking.Not this video only but all of them 😃
Glad you made it to Norway safely, Erik!
Glad you lived to tell the story. Can't wait for the full story. You are really a Viking, a true adventurer and fearless sailor. Please stay safe.
Glad to see you are safe.
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.
I am glad you came through
It's always a pleasant surprise when I stumble upon your episodes. This one though, made we think of the possible worst that could've happened to you. You're always so confident and in control, it's never crossed my mind. I'm SO thankful that you're able to tell the story. Be blessed, Erik, and sail for many years to come.
You are a true Viking warrior!! Glad you are safe!
Wow! Just wow!
Looking forward seeing it
Snap, glad you made it through that one. Looking forward to seeing the footage!
Epic voyage Eric, can't wait for release of your video, also very interested with Jessie's recent upgrade/refit to learn what improvements you have made. You look well and fit in this interview, hopefully you are in good health and able to do many more voyages. Keep em coming and Good Luck
Erik, you are a true Viking. Take care
Well done Erik.
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’!!!
Great sailing skills. Enjoyed your video . I have been in bad storms
Amazing! So glad you were able to tell about it. I could feel the movement in that sailing! Fantastic!
Wow Great sailing!!!glad you made it back home safe, I really like the report being done in Norwegian. this Norwegian Cowboy from Virginia 🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏 you, well done
Amazing journey
All of the best to you Erik!!…. Thank God you made it home safely!!
I can understand how you have mixed feelings about this trip…. loving the thrill and adventure but realising you were very close to the edge at the same time!!
I am realy looking forward to your full vid of this trip!!
Greetings Henk, the Netherlands.
(Ps the English subtitles are highly appreciated!!)
Erik you are my hero
Good seeing you on other sailing channels this week - Beau & Brandy and Sailing Uma
Great respect to you from the US, Eric. You are the first to show just how bad the North Sea can get. You persevered. Kept your sailing knowledge and abilities during extreme conditions and made it ho.e safely. Congratulations, that's one you won't forget or will we! FWCS AHEAD!⛵️⛵️
That was a crazy ride Erik. This is when things can go wrong. When one is forced to take out to sea in bad weather due to worse weather windows coming up.
It's videos like this that convince me that yours is the very best sailing channel on YT. Total respect and gratitude for letting us in on your adventures. I couldn't go where you go, but I'm glad you do. I get freaked in a force 6 in the Med!
Wow ! Quite the Ordeal. Good Job getting back safely ! Your Tessy took good Care of you also ! Be well brother
Thank God you survived! What an experience. ☹🙏
Living life on the edge on your terms. Much respect Eric.
That was intence! Love the language too.
Welcome home Erik, really glad you got back in one piece, much respect! You continue to live my dreams...
Erik, I’m so happy you made that epic crossing. Really looking forward to the full video in March. Well done, and Bravo for staying cool under enormous pressure. As ever, your video’s and sailing exploits are so superior to the other ‘sailing video’s on RUclips’.
Thanks! I enjoyed hearing this in your own language and am happy it ended well..
Bloody hell! Well done Tessie veldig bra !
"Knockdown?What knockdown," she said!
That was more than ' just sailing ' big guy , stay safe mate xx
seems incredible and dangerous days you never forget^^
there is nothing like a Viking using a bit of descriptive Anglo Saxon to sum up a scary moment and make it real to even when sat watching it in a warm, safe and comfy armchair!!! Great interview and epic sail. You’re the man Eric!
Impressive!! 😮looking forward to the full video
When everybody comes in from offshore, then Eric start his journey🤘🤘🤘
Fair winds and good conditions for every time
Jürgen from Germany
Glad you’re well.
Good to see you safe, and congratulations on a courageous job.
great winter sailing. can't wait for the next video.
Eric it was a great trip but the North Sea is a serious little ocean, I liked the video and thanks for sharing it.
Great story. You must have a great windvane. 😊
Dear Erik,
brilliant interview! Thanks for bringing us such wonderful sailing content. It is always a joy to watch:) I think it is probably a good thing that you experienced the conditions you did. It is fun to see you brave such waters again and again, but your safety must always come first.
Love from Germany and unfortunately far to far from the sea. Safe passage to you always:)
Great that the trip was completed well!!! Please, take care! Stay on safe side!
Wow Eric! Can't wait to see the full story!
Glad your safe mate great seamanship
Erik, sometimes I think you are the North Sea, personified. You are ferocious and unpredictable, as well as untamable and challenging. You are both larger than life and a living legend. What a novel someone could write! I think we all felt the potential danger in this crossing. I hope your critics are permanently silenced now. Absolutely no one can doubt your skills or courage. Please, going forward, be kinder to yourself. ❤
Come on Erik?! Full video in March only? What we are gonna do until there? 😂😂😂😂
Meanwhile you could tell us the plans for the summer! I'm curious about that as well!
Congrats for the interview!
Cheers from Sweden
It’s hard to capture large waves on video. . .you did it well. I have been in those conditions and I say the waves blocked the sun, but my pictures make everything look flat. Excellent work.
Epic man. You got balls of steel and glad you are home safe
Just finished work , going to enjoy my tea watching this . Greetings from Athens
Wow. I admire your courage. Glad you made it safely. A reminder that we should never under estimate the power of the sea and the elements!!
Glad you’re safe mate!
Glad you are safe! BTW Great to hear you speaking Norwegian
Phew!!! Well done Skipper Eric and welcome back!!!!!
Glad you made it home safe Erik, what a crazy ride home..
Tack Erik. Tur att det gick bra. Ska bli kul att se filmen. Ha dä gött. Med vänlig hälsning, Tomas 👍👍😁😁🥵🥵
AS a member of near death club I found life sweeter and more precious ever since.
Wow, it was both terrifying and amaizing to hear your adventure. I can't wait the full video. Nice job Erik!!!
Dziękujemy.
Very interesting to see the length of time the cockpit drains needed to clear the water . Well done Eric , can't wait to see the up coming video , huge respect man .
I would consider a bigger cockpit drain, with a check valve, also known as a one-way valve or a foot valve: Fluid only flows in one direction, i.e. it's unidirectional.

Erik, two words for you: Frightening and Amazing! Please stay safe. Wish you all the best!!
What a great teaser! Glad you're safe!
Awesome interview: NBJS.
You are a crazy Viking! Love to watch this!
Very glad you made it home. The blessings of Skiðblaðnir were with you.ᛉ
Well done Erik,very good seamanship and a very fine boat pulled you through.Yes its something you never forget .I had a similar experience in The Bay Of Biscay.
wahou. Full video will be awesome. ⛵
Erik I am relieved you lived to tell the story.💪
That was crazy, but now you know what the baot and you can survive. A hard learned lesson. Safe sails.
Very brave Erik, congratulations for your boat.
thats the spirit 🤘
i hope you hailed odin 😊
Wow. Glad you made it back safely.
Situations like that are what separate a real sailor from a fair weather one. The men from the boys as it were. I think your the kind of sailor who could round cape horn single handed without flinching. I'm looking forward to the full video!
Well that looked like a wild ride for sure!
I knew that would be a wild passage , predict wind looked evil those days , glad you made it home safe !! ❤
Knockdowns are scary on a full-sized boat. You see your spreaders or masthead getting close to the surface of the waves and you start to question your life-choices. Real character-building stuff.
I can't wait for the video to drop eventually.
You made all the right decisions when out in the storm and got home safe love hearing the interview in Norwegian, am half swede and understand Swedish so hot the gist without subtitles . All publicity is good … keep adventuring
WOW!!
Amazing!!! I cant imagine the feeling of stepping onto land after such an ordeal... 🍻👏
Your Adventures are amazing ❤ thanks for being real, how risky the last one was. Maybe there is a Plan B in certain situations. Stay safe and regards to your mother from a fellow mother of an adventurous son.
Wow, that was amazing! You just need to trust the boat
Can't wait to see the follow up vlog Eric !!!! Looks amazing/scary ..... It's what I love about your content constantly pushing boundaries epic stuff altogether
Good for you Erik, congratulations!!!✨✨🎉🎉🎊🎊 I remember the first video of you i saw, you took your bag and crossed that same wooden door to get to your boat, i thought it was awesome!
