Superb video. Excellent camera work and editing. Really took us to St Kilda. I sailed there in 2006 and that brought on a sailboat and that brought it all back in vivid colour. Much respect Erik.
The cinematography and storytelling are both excellent quality. You are an exceptional sailor as well. Thank you for producing these videos, very inspiring.
And you can imagine how hostile the small island can be and how tough the inhabitants had to be to survive. You just happened to visit the place on a perfect calm and sunny day. It looked so peacefull. Thankyou Eric for taking us there, it was magical.
AMAZING. I teared up a bit at the sanctuary of the little kirk. What a sweetly, tightly-knit and tough community it must have been. Thanks for bringing us along
Thanks for bringing me along on your travels. You have really proven yourself to be more sailing than bs, and I´m happy to occasionally be "among your crew" Fair winds and safe travels to you my fellow explorer:)
segment beginning at 11:43 - (and 20:28 & 30:41) always amazed by the houses, cities, settlements in such 'remote' areas of the world. What a different lifestyle.
Brilliant video Erik! St Kilda is such an amazing place what a truly incredible landscape. It must have been heartbreaking for the inhabitants to leave it behind all them years ago.
Their removal in 1930 might have been inevitable, but with the world slump, until rearmament started about 1937, there were no good places to go. I fear many of them might well have wound up in the notorious Glasgow slum of the Gorbals, a tragic end coming from this place of quiet if hard natural beauty.
Beautifully filmed. I am really enjoying your travels. The last St Kildan, Rachel Johnson, passed away in 2016 at the age of 93. She was living in a care home just outside Glasgow. A far cry from her beginnings. When evacuated the families arrived on the mainland at Loch Aline on the Sound of Mull, many of them gained employment here as forestry workers, most had never seen a tree. A nice trip would have been to follow their journey to Loch Aline, it is not too far from the Caledonian canal. 😉
@@Argylldiving Interesting! I didn't know that. I have family in Lochaline and my uncle used to work the Lochaline ferry to Mull and back as Chief Engineer. I am from Fort William myself, but live in Aberdeenshire now. I spent many a holiday as a child in the area visiting my uncle and cousins.
I was wrong! They became forestry workers. And I always thought they ended up unemployed and living in the Glasgow slums. That news really gladdens my heart.
Eric, get rid of the gennicker roller reefing gear and get a snubber/sock. This will make your life easier. Hoist sail inside the sock, hoist the sock to reveal the sail. When necessary lower the sock thereby snubbing the sail, then lower the whole rig in complete control. I’ve used one for 20 years with no problems. Capt John.
What an amazing voyage! So beautifully documented. If it was me I would have loved to stay in every place longer just to experience these beautiful places more intensely.
They say that the definition of a Scottish Gentleman is someone who knows how to play the bagpipes but refrains from doing so but I as a Yorkshireman love the sound of the pipes, it inspires the soul and emboldens the heart…
Wonderful journey, Erik. Makes me think of the Iceland Sagas. You say those people and places are real? Not possible.... They are true, they found Egil's skull buried right where the sagas said.... St Kilda is real, Harris is real -- you can go there. I love seeing the carabiner. I was crew on a Pacific crossing. When I pulled out my carabiners, it was "What are those for?" Just about everything. Had to leave half of them behind, barber haulers, dinghy, prepping the Parasailor & sheets... The owner bought some in Japan as did another crew member. I understand why snap shackles are needed, release under tension, but when I can I like using a carabiner. The best dreams on a boat is waking up from a land dream and then realizing first, I am on a boat, then second, I am at sea and finally, I'm on the other side of the world crossing a sea. I don't understand why people get drunk, do drugs and don't want to travel or sail.
No words to express my admiration and respect to such great sailor. And St Kilda approach looks like an heroic fantasy movie ! Unreal. Thank you so much for sharing
Eric your self Confidence is inspiring, nbsjs is a brilliant contributor what amazes me is your singlehanded offshore sailing ability, and the never give up attitude
Hi Erik! You are not only a sailor, a photographer, a movie maker... You are an inspiration!!! Keep on doing what you are doing!!! And thanks for the extraordinary footage and stories! fair winds, Erwin
You are a legend Erika ..a Viling for the 21st Century... but now you are welcome here in Scotland! Thank you for coming to our amazing wee country. Such a wonderful ❤ adventure 😂❤😂
I was expecting so much about your travel to Saint Kilda, may be too much but I'm not disappointed at all. Woah what a nice voyage ! The adventure was great and the veil on this mysterious island has been lifted just a little bit and the mystery gets even more appealing. I expect your way back home to be even better as if this was possible.
Would have been fantastic to go for a hike on St. Kilda. But I guess not easy laying there for more than a few hours due to the weather rapid changes. Thanks for taking us there. Amazing place.
As always great adventure and documentation. My wife who’s not a sailor but a filmmaker calls you the Werner Herzog or the sailing channels. You have a career in film ahead of you! Buenos vientos Eric!
Wonderful video Erik, I love the way you show it all from your perspective. Glad the gennaker behaved this time you were able to get close to the Boreray Stacks. You definitely got lucky with the weather, as it can be rather brutal out there. Looking forward to the next part when you go through the great glen on your way back.
Wow. Long term subscriber here catching up on videos I have missed. I truly admire your courage to cross treacherous seas to explore these amazing places. You really reap the rewards of your efforts! I got a bit teary eyed from Saint Kilda. What a touching story. All those generations and lives lived there. Children of Saint Kilda. An era that ended in a single day. I cannot imagine what that must have been like for the people who left on that day. Thanks so much for telling their story.
Absolutely amazing Erik, incredible journey and filmmaking. And what a bonus to to my nephew playing the bagpipes for you in Tarbert. Fair winds my friend.
Thanks so much. Your words gave me power again. Never give up. Ok. You can’t now my personality situation, but your words, your video, gave me an impulse. I won’t give up. I will fight my battles. Thank you very much 😊
A superb video, Erik. The Outer Hebrides have been a favourite stamping ground of mine for many years; great to hear the young pipers at Tarbert, Harris and see their excellent turnout. The light at St Kilda was perfect and the camera drone was surely made for this location.
Love the narration of your travels Erik, video quality is second to none. You would not expect ocean like glass in that part of the world - truly awesome and look forward to the next part.
Excellent photography and narration. The old Kirk house was left the way it was in the 30's with the ink wells still on the desk and old maps showing the Dominion of Canada along with the Bibles. A Spanish freighter smashed up on the rocks a few years ago causing a major eyesore but credit to Spanish govt who sent in a team of contractors to clear up the ship remnants at a cost of millions (£). On one occasion the island was hit by force 12 hurricane - that was quite an experience. It's run by the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) - I was a contractor there for 4 years - pretty tough in the Winter.
Wonderful to see Boreray and St Kilda so clearly and very different from when I was there - it wasn't safe to stay so we had to turn around and go back.
I’ve watched all of your videos and though I have enjoyed them all, for some reason this was my absolute favorite. I believe you’ve hit your stride and found your center. Good stuff. God speed.
I'd loooove to go there. I love wild remote islands. 😊😊😊 The Shiant islands are owned by the son of the author Adam Nicolson. Adam's book "A seabird's cry" is fascinating. He also did a good TV programme in 2 parts for the BBC on the historical sites of South Georgia.
This was so incredibly AWESOME! I love the narration on being a dream yet being able to wake up and experience it. As well as sharing! Thank you so very much as this means a lot to those of us not able yet to join but absolutely looking forward to!!! Wish you and your family the best, always!
Hi Erik. As a "Grip" in the Film Industry, camera safety is my primary role. I suggest you ALWAYS have a safety tether on your cameras. As you have already experienced, an extra few seconds can save you a LOT of $$. Put a snap hook on the end and clip it around whatever is handy. Preferably something higher than your camera tether is long. Then, if you have to, you can drop the camera, letting it dangle, while you save yourself from falling overboard. Good wind and following seas.
Excellent video Erik. Who would have thought you would have such great sailing conditions all the way to St Kilda. What an awesome place to visit. Thanks for taking us along.
One see no signs of human life ( save for the museum and church) , the history is amazing...sad...like the silence says a lot without words. This passage around Scotland is exciting - breathtaking... This was one of the most enjoyable videos A masterpiece in sailing.
Is this the best RUclips sailing channel? Certainly in the top 3. Such an inspiration. I'm 67 years young and just about to take up sailing. Many of my family were sailors so I guess it's in my blood.
Great episode Erik, terrific drone footage but then again you spoil us with your piloting and sailing skills. I'd say you were pretty lucky with the weather, given what is possible in that region! But what a beautiful place when the weather gods are on your side. So glad you made it to your goal, and thank you for taking us with you.
I love your videos. I never sailed in my life or I know nothing about sailing. But your videos, your expeditions take me and thousands of other people to extreme part of the world that I didn't even know existed. Thank you for doing this and thank you for sharing with us.
I subscribed because i love the quality of presentation, production and Sailing. But i also really appreciate the feeling Eric has for the places his visits, their unique people and history.
I watch tons of sailing videos and NBJS is right up there, if not the best. Plus single-handed sailing only makes it more appealing. Brilliant video Erik, and the photography is outstanding.
Haven't finished yet, but old scuba trick for clearing blocked sinuses, ears etc...snort a drop of clean sea water from your hand. You're half fish anyway boss, and it normally works...Edit, all finished! Superb job Skipper Eric, thanks for taking us along!! 🤗🤗
Ear or tooth arch Try table salt in a cotton sock.. heat salt 1 minute in a pan first ~1/2 cup this gets very HOT. funnel it into sock. tie end. test it on wrist b4 putting it behind your ear. This will relieve the pain and moisture. Also tooth area under and over that area of pain. Old granny Yola It works.. you can microwave sock and salt for 10 secs only in a cotton sock.. never synthetic hot salt will melt it.
Another good one. Your story line and camera work really flow well, getting better all the time. How the hell do you get the drone off and on the boat in those seas! Thanks for the video.👍
Truely not a second of bullshit. I feel different after your videos. Better...like i just returned from a trip. Your editing and narration are just captivating.
Excellent Erik. There is a suburb and a football team in Melbourne, Australia called St Kilda. Apparently however, there was never a 'Saint KIlda' The name is a garbled version of a Gaelic name so I am told. But what a place! Nothing to the west until Newfoundland. Apparently a large number of the inhabitants evacuated in 1930 chose to go and live on Tristan da Cunha in the south Atlantic. They couldn't do without the isolation. I can get that.
Thoroughly enjoyed your journey, thank you Erik. It’s the travel, look see and travel isn’t it?!. I love that way of exploring myself but by caravanning, not by boat, but I wish! Regards, still worry about no safety line!🙂phil, Suffolk, U.k. 🇬🇧
Found this by coincident, impressive videos, impressive journeys and i'm a bit jealous ... go on, live the dream show us the beauty of this planet and the ocean.
Sailed there in 2019 as part of crew and I know how special it feels to walk around, the history of the St Kildan’s is fascinating and as you say sad too. Your video brought it all back!
Eric, congratulations on your success in reaching St Kilda and for sharing the amazing journey with us. The emotion in your voice, as you walked around the old houses, just how much it meant to you. Now for the return journey and the challenges it will bring.
The crofters used to pay the rent for their houses with feathers. All the young men decided that they would go to America where they could earn good money instead of subsistence farming. The boat that they were on sank and all died. Hence concluded hundreds of years of island life. The population were led to the Quay by an army pipe band playing a tune that the pipe major had written for the occasion. The leaving of St Kilda. Very sad. I often wonder if any of the people evacuated have relatives that are around today. St Kilda was much bigger than I thought it would be. Thank you so much for your vblog.
Erik, one of your best videos I think. Scenery was stunning and great sailing with all sails flying. This was a true adventure and the reason I follow your U tube channel. Cheers and fair winds on your way home.
Top notch episode. I got emotional twice during this one. The first time was when the entire town of Tarbert saw you off, the second was when you were in the church on St. Kilda and I was thinking about the people who once lived and worshipped there. I know you are not very religious, but I thank you for showing so much respect.

AMAZING. I teared up a bit at the sanctuary of the little kirk. What a sweetly, tightly-knit and tough community it must have been. Thanks for bringing us along
Me too, very moving, thinking about the tough life out there. Thanks John!
By far the very best sailing channel on RUclips these days. Excellent work Eric. Thanks for sharing your beautiful videos and engaging narrative,
After all of your problems with your Greenland adventures, it is so nice to see a plan finally come good. YOU MADE IT!! 👍🏻😃
Well done Erik!
Thanks for bringing me along on your travels.
You have really proven yourself to be more sailing than bs, and I´m happy to occasionally be "among your crew"
Fair winds and safe travels to you my fellow explorer:)

Aye aye , captain
3:13 the absolute peace of this shot. No music, a light sound of breeze. This is what Erik does it for and why we all live vicariously through him.
What an amazing voyage! So beautifully documented. If it was me I would have loved to stay in every place longer just to experience these beautiful places more intensely.
WOW! You do it all - the sailing and the Highlands and Islands - great justice. Thanks for showing us.
They say that the definition of a Scottish Gentleman is someone who knows how to play the bagpipes but refrains from doing so but I as a Yorkshireman love the sound of the pipes, it inspires the soul and emboldens the heart…

Was looking forward to this chapter .. what can I say , Amazing …just amazing 👌
Eric your self Confidence is inspiring, nbsjs is a brilliant contributor what amazes me is your singlehanded offshore sailing ability, and the never give up attitude
The Best videos on RUclips I'm sure Erik was a Viking Sailor Navigator Explorer in his past lives 👍🏴🏴
Hi Erik!
You are not only a sailor, a photographer, a movie maker... You are an inspiration!!!
Keep on doing what you are doing!!! And thanks for the extraordinary footage and stories!
fair winds, Erwin
Thank you so much Erwin! Cool name, reminds me of Lord of the Rings for some reason🔥☺️
You are a legend Erika ..a Viling for the 21st Century... but now you are welcome here in Scotland! Thank you for coming to our amazing wee country. Such a wonderful ❤ adventure 😂❤😂
I was expecting so much about your travel to Saint Kilda, may be too much but I'm not disappointed at all. Woah what a nice voyage !
The adventure was great and the veil on this mysterious island has been lifted just a little bit and the mystery gets even more appealing.
I expect your way back home to be even better as if this was possible.
The old Gods are with you Erik! After all your struggles with Greenland they gave you this day at St. Kilda, wow!
They give and take at a fine balance☺️
Would have been fantastic to go for a hike on St. Kilda. But I guess not easy laying there for more than a few hours due to the weather rapid changes. Thanks for taking us there. Amazing place.
I spent 4 days at St. Kilda in 1998 so thoroughly enjoyed the lovely film of your visit.
Another fantastic film from the Great Viking. Enchanting to see St Kilda and beautifully done
Love it .
💪💪 keep content coming .
What an amazing journey, Eric. Your narrations bring the stories to life. May Njord bring you fair winds and following seas on your way home.
"WOW!!" indeed - 25:50 thank you so much for capturing and sharing this scenic adventure... good candy for the eyes.
Good one Erik. You should visit the island of North Rona. It is North of the Butt of Lewis and west of Orkney.
Noted!
As always great adventure and documentation. My wife who’s not a sailor but a filmmaker calls you the Werner Herzog or the sailing channels. You have a career in film ahead of you! Buenos vientos Eric!

Thanks for the reminder Erik - No short cuts and never give up - dreams are for the afterlife. Love it. Cheers and Fair Winds.
What a fabulous episode, well done and you really captured the feel and atmosphere of St Kilda.
Thanks so much. Your words gave me power again. Never give up. Ok. You can’t now my personality situation, but your words, your video, gave me an impulse. I won’t give up. I will fight my battles. Thank you very much 😊
Do never give up, youll make it. There is no excuses If you have a goal. There are so many ways to reach it. Pick the best one☺️
Bravo Erik, your vids are definitely the best in your field, so informative and realistic and as you say no bullshit. Appreciated from New Zealand.
Wow scotland really is the most beautiful place on earth
What an amazing Island, thanks for sharing your journey there!
A superb video, Erik. The Outer Hebrides have been a favourite stamping ground of mine for many years; great to hear the young pipers at Tarbert, Harris and see their excellent turnout.

I was really lucky this day!

I’ve watched all of your videos and though I have enjoyed them all, for some reason this was my absolute favorite. I believe you’ve hit your stride and found your center. Good stuff. God speed.
Eric, this is so mesmerizing. Thank you for taking us to Saint Kilda Island along with you. Looking forward to your return journey back home. Be safe.
Thanks for showing us St Kilda and surroundings Erik!
Thank you for another beautiful and soulful sailing adventure. Just awesome
Stunning! Respect to you. Skol👍
RESPEKT! 🏆
Brilliant on so many levels!
Thank you Erik!
Fantastic. I love the solitude of St. Kilda.
Thanks a lot for taking us with you to St Kilda! What a place!! Fabulous filming and storytelling!!
I'd loooove to go there. I love wild remote islands. 😊😊😊
The Shiant islands are owned by the son of the author Adam Nicolson. Adam's book "A seabird's cry" is fascinating. He also did a good TV programme in 2 parts for the BBC on the historical sites of South Georgia.
Interesting!
Astounding Erik. Congratulations. St Kilda is a fitting reward for your hard work and perseverance. Thanks for sharing the adventure with us.
This was so incredibly AWESOME! I love the narration on being a dream yet being able to wake up and experience it. As well as sharing! Thank you so very much as this means a lot to those of us not able yet to join but absolutely looking forward to!!! Wish you and your family the best, always!
Thank you so much, Chrisster! To share these experiences is why I do this, the whole thing would be pointless If not. Means alot to me, Thanks again❤️
Hi Erik. As a "Grip" in the Film Industry, camera safety is my primary role. I suggest you ALWAYS have a safety tether on your cameras. As you have already experienced, an extra few seconds can save you a LOT of $$. Put a snap hook on the end and clip it around whatever is handy.

Good wind and following seas.
Good point, thanks!
Excellent video Erik. Who would have thought you would have such great sailing conditions all the way to St Kilda. What an awesome place to visit. Thanks for taking us along.
Amazing trip and story, Erik. Proof that there are still hidden treasures to be explored in this world. Thanks for bringing me along.
One see no signs of human life ( save for the museum and church) , the history is amazing...sad...like the silence says a lot without words. This passage around Scotland is exciting - breathtaking...
This was one of the most enjoyable videos
A masterpiece in sailing.
Such great videography and sailing. Way to go.
Is this the best RUclips sailing channel? Certainly in the top 3. Such an inspiration. I'm 67 years young and just about to take up sailing. Many of my family were sailors so I guess it's in my blood.

What an amazing place, sailing, and video! Well done.
Great drone footage. Thank you for sharing.
I subscribed because i love the quality of presentation, production and Sailing. But i also really appreciate the feeling Eric has for the places his visits, their unique people and history.
Great video again. Thanks for sharing the big beautiful ferocious North Atlantic. Places to be included in every serious sailor's destinations.
I watch tons of sailing videos and NBJS is right up there, if not the best. Plus single-handed sailing only makes it more appealing. Brilliant video Erik, and the photography is outstanding.
extremely real sailing and exploring the stunning beautiful Northern seas and breathing isle. Jim Rodgers
Haven't finished yet, but old scuba trick for clearing blocked sinuses, ears etc...snort a drop of clean sea water from your hand. You're half fish anyway boss, and it normally works...Edit, all finished! Superb job Skipper Eric, thanks for taking us along!! 🤗🤗
Some of the finest content on YT. The quality of your videos is amazing. Keep up the great work
Well done mate… beautiful videos. Keep doing a good deed!
Ear or tooth arch Try table salt in a cotton sock.. heat salt 1 minute in a pan first ~1/2 cup this gets very HOT. funnel it into sock. tie end. test it on wrist b4 putting it behind your ear. This will relieve the pain and moisture. Also tooth area under and over that area of pain. Old granny Yola It works.. you can microwave sock and salt for 10 secs only in a cotton sock.. never synthetic hot salt will melt it.
Erik, thank you. Exquisite footage. Thank you…
Another good one. Your story line and camera work really flow well, getting better all the time. How the hell do you get the drone off and on the boat in those seas! Thanks for the video.👍
Truely not a second of bullshit. I feel different after your videos. Better...like i just returned from a trip. Your editing and narration are just captivating.
Love it! I really enjoyed the editing of pumping the dinghy, great work. Keep it up, can't wait for the next episode!
THanks Erik for sharing this with us.
See you soon!
Love your videos. Your editing is back to your old/amazing editing. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful otherworldly expedition.

Awesome video, I enjoyed every moment - thank you for making the video.
Found this by coincident, impressive videos, impressive journeys and i'm a bit jealous ... go on, live the dream show us the beauty of this planet and the ocean.
Bunnahabhain, an excellent choice. Don't forget to give a tribute to Poseidon for safe passage. Best of luck to you.
GREAT! Love your videos.
Thank you!
Wonderful Adventure and video Erik!
Thank you for the inspiration, as always!
SUPER Video,
thank you for being you showed st. kilda and his history - my best regards from austria
Sailed there in 2019 as part of crew and I know how special it feels to walk around, the history of the St Kildan’s is fascinating and as you say sad too. Your video brought it all back!
Glad to know, thank you. We are lucky to have been there

Top notch episode. I got emotional twice during this one. The first time was when the entire town of Tarbert saw you off, the second was when you were in the church on St. Kilda and I was thinking about the people who once lived and worshipped there. I know you are not very religious, but I thank you for showing so much respect.
