      Ce sera avec plaisir Patrick! The Shetlands are amazing. If you can, don’t miss Fair Isle. I spent one week there on my way back. Truly amazing people (about 60 inhabitants + some crazy “birdies”). I’ll definitely go back there one day. Next summer I plan to sail to the west coast of Norway and explore the fjords around Bergen. But this time I would like to winterize Pandorak in Norway, in order to reach the Lofoten in 2019. Bon vent!

    @Pandorak I looked up your channel on Patrick's recommendation and I am awestruck with this production of your - as is said in another comment here: no words needed.
    I'm a local and know a tiny bit about sailing in Faroese waters, mainly from a traditional Faroese 5-mannafar, which is an approx. 20 ft open wood boat. I've also tried climbing mountains and bird cliffs, even the steep eastern end of Tindhólmur. And I have to say that those aerial shots and close fly-bys at Kallur and more actually gave some of that real life rush feeling which can be hard to convey through film, and you mastered it perfectly.
    You and Patrick and Barry that old Seadog add fuel to my dreams of some day taking on some bigger boat and go exploring. Thank you! Cheers to good health and safe travels :)

    I grew up on the sea and have been watching literally hundreds of different sailing channels recently with a view to returning to this great love of the ocean.
    This is without doubt the highest quality of photography and film editing that I have seen out of thousands of episodes of sailing. Please continue to make more, as these two videos have been for me absolutely the finest and most enjoyable to watch I have seen. Stunning documentary. Monumental adventure and achievement on many levels. Clear passion just for the love of it. Inspiration on every level and a joy to see what lies ahead for me. The North. Tusind Tak min ven.

      @@Pandorak Your cinema skills are phenomenal. The way you protray the movement of the boat, the passing of time and the coming and going of weather. The way you inconspicuously capture adjusting the sails, laying/pulling anchor, plotting coarse. The way you capture the sounds of the boat, the water, the wind, the birds etc. Even sharing the catching and preparing meals. It all miraculously joins in a brilliant symphony of creation, life and seamanship! Encore, encore All the best

    Very nice video, well done. We brought our Hans Christian 'Fair Isle' in Monnickendam and anchored off Hoorn on many occasions, lovely place. In fact all those towns on the Western side of the Markermeer and ijsselmeer are lovely.

    Simply exceptional, what an inspiration! Have been getting frustrated with so many rich kid, bikini clad, faux sailing 'adventures' on here. You have a rare talent, beautifully filmed. You convey your journey in such a visceral way. Thank you, I now know what i've been searching for all this time!
