- We continue on our journey in Norway, where we're going up into the high arctic, and on to Svalbard.
In this episode, we're sailing from the town of Ålesund on the Norwegian coast to the Island of Lovund in the municipality of Lurøy Nordland county, with a few stops on the way.
So glad I found your videos. Jet skis should be banned, they are a pain in the ar.e especially in a beautiful quiet anchorage. We sailed from falmouth to Mull last year but sadly no further North due to very unsettled weather. We are planning to head back there this summer having done a lot of refitting work on our Sweden Yacht 36 Occus. The Norwegian coast looks spectacular. Great boat you have. Fairwinds.
Yes, Norway was spectacular.
You're in for a treat though too, if you're heading back to the west coast of Scotland.
If you're partial to a nice quiet anchorage and don't already know about them. Check out www.antarescharts.co.uk/
These are small-scale pilotage charts for some of the best (and less frequented) anchorages in Scotland and are very useful in some of the tighter spots.
@@SailingHiraeth Thanks for the heads-up, I already use Antares charts. Our plan is to get to the Shetlands as I am keen to retrace some steps I made as a small boy in 1966 when my father took us there from Norfolk in a 26’ Atalanta. Father, mother, 4 children and a fully grown Golden Retriever, mad but great memories. It was a trip we made 3 times and a fourth one got us ‘only to the Orkneys’. I’ve spent far too much time sailing ever since!
Thank you for sharing 🤩
I always hope the jetski has a small fuel tank. There's talk of electric ones so maybe they will be quieter. Keep going till the butter freezes.
…when does the open season for jet skis start?
My Norwegian friend said Lofoten is a nice place to visit!
Lofoten is such an amazing place, the scenery in the north of Norway is just jaw dropping. keep watching!
Lovely cruising ground, can’t wait to visit!
Enjoying your videos. I went to Norway a long time and it rained 90% of the 6 weeks I was there. Bergen gets more rain than any city in the world with only 63 days of sunshine a year!!! The shot of Mark on the picnic table had me rolling on the floor!! When you are tired... Looking forward to more fantastic videos.
Thanks, yes I think many months of preparation and stress had finally caught up, the boy needs sleep !
Another great video, and another place to add to my must-visit list. Nuisance jet-skiers aside, the Norwegian coast looks like the kind of place I’d love to explore in the summertime. With millions of acres of verdant forest hugging the shoreline, periodically punctuated by gnarled outcrops of ancient granite, there’s just so much to see yet there’s hardly anyone there, and not only that, you’ve got twenty hours of sunlight every day.
If you’re into sailing, climbing or just old-fashioned hillwalking I can’t imagine a better location, although, the distant white peaks suggest that it might not be the most hospitable environment in the depths of winter, but I’m sure even then it’s not without its charms.
Great vid and some amazing scenery, not sure you’ll see Gill and the dogs on that coastal “ walk” anytime soon though.
I would love to know how those jet skis from Moelfre Anchorage on Anglesey found you there 😊. I am really enjoying your videos, thank you for sharing your adventure, I find watching them incredibly enjoyable and relaxing. I have subscribed.
Beautiful scenery (I want to go.......) and the music was a perfect accompaniment. I enjoyed the laid-back humour, too and I'm still amazed at your understated approach to the sailing, some of which looked slightly more than a casual cruise on the Clyde! I'm looking forward to more.
Great video, thanks for sharing your amazing journey. :)
I’ve always wanted to take my boat to Norway just for the fishing, your making me believe it’s possible 🇳🇴
10:24 Whether you know it or not, you are feeding into the reputation Norwegians love about themselves. You're extremely diplomatic; you could easily serve as Britain's ambassador to Norway.
Great vid! Love the time-lapse of the sunset on the water, looks incredible! 👏
Wow, I've been looking forward to this and I'm getting more and more envious lol.
I watched it on my 4k TV so the quality was amazing, felt like we was with you.
Keep safe and enjoy
Love Adam and Nic Johnston
Awesome guys' what an adventure, amazing photography and voice overs. We didn't know Miles could play guitar like that.... Haha, well guess he has had plenty of time to practice while waiting for the wind to blow. Hooning jetskiiers......Can''t get away from them. love Andy & Les xx
Stunning scenery ,well put together vlog you guys definitely have a flair for this 🥃
Well done! Beautiful video
The walk around and climb up Lovund did not seem easy-- great footage! It was nice to see our boat in your video😊
Thanks, keep watching as your boat is in the next episode Bodo too !
Hope to get over, this year would be good, perhaps next in reality.
Starting to look into what I need for documentation/ insurance etc.
Any advice appreciated
We went to Norway as part of our honeymoon
