Hi everyone! Sorry to keep you waiting but I need a break from the ordinary stress and worries! Therefore I took my girlfriend, Silje, with me on a sailing adventure around the Cyklades, Greece. And what a vacation it turned out to be!
This video is as far from the regular stormy NBJS content at is can come, but it was incredibly fun to do something absolutely out of the comfort box RUclips-vise, before heading back to the North Sea for another singlehanded adventure to the Hebrides, west Scotland, in July! :)
Thank you so much to Kavas Yachting for letting us take their beautiful Beneteu Oceanis 46.1 along on this ride! Check them out here: www.kavas.com/

Loved the comment from Silje “do you know what you’re doing?” 😂 has she not watched your videos ? Priceless
😂
I had the same thought Silje.
😉
I say the same thing to myself all the time!😂
Yes indeed, good luck...
I was starting questioning myself for a moment there😂
Battling the North Sea is one thing, learning how to navigate a relationship is the harder. It would have been easy to edit out the bits where Silje was worried. Im glad you didnt.
Glad to see him warm for a change and not freezing cold
As Norwegan your allowed to call 24 Degree Celsius, extreme Heat 😂
Nice Sailing, thanks Erik. Finally your Healthy and Back
And as an Aussie we put a jacket on when it hits 20C or below. In the northern parts, 24 is the over night low!
😂
Not in the cool ACT or sailing on Lake Burley G in Spring. @@dannyinaus
@@scottastell9415 yes, I am in North Qld
That was a fun change of pace, Erik. Thank you.
Silje is not yet First Mate material, but time will tell. Good luck to you both with that.
She will get there🙏☺️
It's good to have an assertive First Mate. She has potential!
@@erikaanderaa Let‘s hope so. Young love can tolerate and compensate a lot. 🙂
What a change! And what a scenery! Great production. Sure hope Silje gets used to it and wants to join more !
good for you dude, you've got a huge fanbase and i hope you have more opportunities to show us different parts of the world!
Laughed my ass off, that was great! But seriously, gotta give big props to Silje for her willingness to try something new - heeling over, windows being underwater and all the creaks and groans is a lot for any new sailor to get used to and I thought she did great. Happy you're giving yourself a vacation Erik, everyone needs one from time to time, even Vikings!
Thank you❤️
As someone who has recently taken on the challenge of learning to sail, I know how Silje is feeling. It does take some time to get used to how the boat should feel, what is normal, and of course what isn't. Heeling over can definitely be worrying when you're not used to it, especially when the water is very close to the gunwales. We nearly had a capsize a couple of weeks ago after getting overpowered by a rogue gust of wind that caught us by surprise; it was a scary moment but I've now deposited the incident safely in my experience bank and will be back out on the water twice this week! I hope your health is improving and that you're recovering well Erik.
"As someone who has recently taken on the challenge of learning to sail, I know how Silje is feeling" Spot on. I learnt to sail when I was very young (about 8 or 9 years old). Even now, after 30 or so years, and spending a lot of time in the ocean, I'm still afraid of it. On the other hand, I'm so glad I did it (and I still do) because it gives you an appreciation of adventure and how powerful the ocean and climate is. It's right up there at the top of life experiences.
Haha, I took a good buddy of mine dingy sailing. It's was pretty gusty, I caught a good gust of wind and the boat heeled over about 40 degrees (give or take. People watching from shore said it looked like we were capsizing). The rail was underwater for a second and his eyes about popped out of his head and looked like he was about to bail out over the opposite rail. As we shot forward I was assuring him, "I got it, man, I got it!"
Silje brings a whole new dimension to these videos; it's educational to see sailing viewed through the eyes of someone new to it. She's also very charming; it would be interesting to hear her comments on some of your wilder solo sails in future episodes...... Hope we see much more of her.
Thank you! Yes, that would be a great idea😅
Loved Siljes reaction to the starboard heal. I see water in the windows, this is not right! She is a keeper!
She sure is☺️
Nice change of pace Erik. Congratulations on your girlfriend. Very pretty and a nice on screen personality. Skilshare can’t bail her out of this one :) On the job learning is the only way.
My wife and I are really enjoying the dynamic you two have. We're both very different and very strong willed, so it's refreshing for us to watch the intensity and patience you both bring teaching each other new ways of being. Best of luck to both of you and thank you for sharing your adventures. Cheers!
LOL, I grew up sailing with my Mom and Dad and Sister on smaller McGregor 25's etc. and every time the boat would heal over or we would take a little blue water in my Mom would grab the railing like it was welded to her arms. This brought back those memories seeing your GF sail for the first time..... My mom never did get over the fear of the heal but overall she loves sailing. We plan to purchase a 40 to 50ft, My wife and I, who has not sailed except a few times in our 19ft West Wight potter on lake James NC. USA. I enjoyed the video maybe we will do the same to break her in before we spend a ton on a boat.
Great video Erik, thanks for sharing your holiday!
Ah what an awesome vaca!! Cudos to Silje, she did great her first time sailing! Hope she enjoyed it, too. I like that she is not afraid to ask "Erik, do you know what you are doing?"🤭 Cause we all know you can be a little crazy, lol! Very best wishes to you both!!
and that she was Not Seasick is a positive.
Haha ahh "she's scared" is an understatement! This made me smile as I've had many adventures with my wife that tend to go the same way! Fun but a lot of reassurance!
Happy to have you both here in Greece. Enjoy your trip!!
this is soooo refreshing to see you having fun in this environment, and with someone to share it with you! hope you enjoyed!!
Now, the most beautiful video you have ever made. Beautiful islands, beautiful lady, and the joy I see in you now is priceless.
Thank you so much Guerro!!
That was a really welcome change, I enjoyed seeing this side of you and hope for a bit more of it!
After watching the difficult sailing adventures by yourself in the cold north, this is an excellent change of pace, and I'm super happy for you with Silje, which is an odd thing with being just a viewer of your channel. This was a great video. Thanks!
This is one of the best Sailing videos in English I've seen on Greece.
Thank you. I'm glad you guys liked Greece.🐬🏛🐟🏛⚓🔱
Love from Greece to Norwegan Cruise.
lol... my first time healing over was in a 22ft Catalina, rails in the water, my boyfriend laughing, I was not. That was 30 years ago, and now we both enjoy watching your videos and can't wait to get our boat so I drive her with the rails in the water.
Another 🌊 gem🙃
I think we all understand a different adventure sometimes. Your mate is in good hands! Thanks for your videos!
15:40 Oh my God, Eric you are the Man, best first sail reactions by a girlfriend ever caught on video..... Good luck in the relationship🎉
Erik that was adorable when your girl got upset questioning if what you were doing was ok ! By now she must be an expert herself ! God bless and safe sailing.....
Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos, they are a TONIC for those of us who are landlocked !!!
Another beautiful video, it was funny when Silje could see the water through the window, enjoy.Cheers
That was very good Erik. Different and funny, just like a good holiday ;-)
Priceless, Silje asking you if you know what your doing. So HAPPY for you both, sailing in Greece must be a real change, yet beautiful none the less. Best to both and we will see you both in the Odyssey Challenge.
Welcome back Erik ! pleasant change of scenery, conditions and delighted to see sedate sailing, but she does not agree !.....hahahaaaaa.....nice to meet Silje !...smiled through out the vlog. Am sure she is going to keep you on your toes or is it the other way around for the rest of vacation...looking forward to the next vlog and good luck..........FAIR WINDS !
She is so brave, to go out into the deep blue, far from land but in good hands, so funny, had a good chuckle and Eric's video editing to ensure dignity is kept at all times was a nice touch
Hey Erik!!! I enjoy every one of your videos!!! But... come on, be soft on Silje!!! She's new to boats and sailing!!! I'd very much like to see her with you on all your trips, so it doesn't get so lonely out there!!! Well done, keep at it!!!
I think this was your best vlog so far. Looking forward to watching the rest of your visit to Greece
Tack för Dina videor. Sålde min segelbåt för ett par år sedan. Har också seglat en del på Nordsjön. Nu har ålder och hälsa gjort att jag inte kan segla längre. Jag tacka Dig för att Du bjuder med mig på så härliga seglingsvideos. Hoppas Di hälsa håller. Hälsningar från broderlandet.
Its great seeing you sailing another part of the world, amazing vlog!
Nice that you have a break and change of scenery. I enjoyed it much.
Was very nice to have you in our sea!
Ancient beauty!
What a lovely sweet lady.. Love her with all your heart, because she"s worth it. If sometimes she dont want to sail on Tessie ...well it"s ok. Enjoy the Cyklades.
Great vid! Good to see you back on the water, and in good company.
Great to see you in the warm waters Erik
Super cute you two! Welcome and enjoy Greece!
Well done Viking !! another great episode with excellent footage ,good to see you back sailing in the Greek Islands and with a sailing companion who seems a nice lady, fair winds to both of you.
Silje will be a good sailor, she's learning fast !! it's normal to be afraid, and she didn't enjoy the beauty of the sea already but time will help ! I can't wait to see the next episode of your adventures..... Great summer to both of you !
Cool video, thanks. I'm sad that you're sick but you're living a good life.
So good to see you +Silje hangin´ out to enjoy the good mediterranean life. Have fun! 👍
Hope you are feeling better! Always enjoy watching your adventures
Thank you for taking us on your holiday
Seeing Erik in that super duper tiny dinghy totally out of his element ... priceless
Eric, i love your videos but I have to say this is one of the funniest. Siljes comments are hilarios and you are a very nice couple. I am looking forward to part two and wish you both a lot more adventures like this. All the best, Manfred
I love this change of pace!!! Excellent video, keep 'em coming!!
Sending you love OG!! fair winds to you and yours !!
Bloody good video, I got a real laugh. Thank you both. Hey Silje, I took my wife of 35yrs on motorcycle trips, you reminded of her reaction's so many times. We have six children now!!!! Keep sailing you'll love it, Erik seems to know what he's doing sort of!🤣🤣
Man, it’s good to see you around on the boat again. Finally in warmer waters. All the best for your health! And congrats to your girlfriend for having a great adventurous guy next to her!
Amazing. What a great way to see Greece.
Nice to see you sail warmer climate. That does not mean the sailing is easier. Nice of you to include us in your Greek adventures! The islands are so so breathtaking!
Oh man ... I'm just catching up now a on a load of your videos ... Silje is a comedy goddess, bless her :) "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?!" :)
Glad you both had a lovely time fellah. You deserve it.
When Erik calls 24 C extreme heat. Here in Dubai, we have to put on a fleece jacket in 24 C. And you do forget how it must feel to a newbie when the boat heels over on it’s side. It takes a while before you realize it won’t flip over. Just wait Silje, you’re going to fall in love with sailing, it is very addictive.
That episode was much more scary than the ones in the North Sea. I liked it.
Silje is learning very fast to be a good sailor.
Agreed, very scary😂
Officially my favorite lifestyle adventure Channel. Love the new addition too.
Peace.
Right on brother!Been waiting for the new voyage.
I couldn’t stop laughing. Just the perfect match, Silje and Erik. You complement each other so well. Cheers from Canada!
Such an enjoyable watch. Full of charm. 😊
Excellent Erik, enjoyed it very much you two make a great couple, lovely sailing in the Med.
She doesn't even know with who she 's having the priviledge to be on the boat with
but we all random guys from around the world just laugh about it lol NBJS!
Have fun guys!
Greetings from Kefalonia Greece
Great video as always! Thank you for sharing the adventure!
Great Erik!! Good to have you back!!
Loved this! Very cool to see all of the sites with you guys. Thank you for sharing.
Sailing is the best. Don't worry Siljes (is this correct?) Erik is a Master sailor.
Really fun video man. Fun to see her react to everything that has to do with sailing. it was kinda funny that she said "do you know what you are doing?" its something you have been doing for years and especially in worse conditions ^^ Looking forward to seeing the next episode and was fun to see athens. I was there last year but went to Aegina another island for afew days then moving on. i was lucky to not have any queues at the Akropolis :P
Wishing you both all the best! Safe travels.
Welcome to Greece Erik!
Very nice and funny team work! Good sailing!
i love this greece adventure. More of this please!!
Wonderful video Erik, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Great to see having a Nice holiday. Enjoy your summer Thanks Erick.
As always Erik, your story telling telling is fantastic and you have found yourself a partner there that compliments your sense of humour and sense of adventure.
Awesome video my friend! Loved every minute of it and it illustrates why my wife doesn't sail with me! Not everybody loves adventure.
What a great Episode Eric! The most extream sailor on RUclips taking a novice partner to sea. I can not wait for the next one. You are going to have the most popular sailing channel for sure! 😅
Liked your video, but thought it wasn't entirely the best move to have 7h straight sailing with a new crew member without telling her about how sailing works. But I'm glad it worked out well, cause it's treading on dangerous grounds with a new girlfriend and introducing her to sailing. Many relationships broke apart after the first sailing cruise (mine fortunately didn't and we had 2m waves with 6 Beaufort winds)
Very nice, a total change of view, but it proves that you can tell a good story no matter where you're sailing at Erik.
Thank you!
Thats probably the longest sailing ever done on that boat 🤗
Great to be able to share the experience and not having to film everything by yourself🥰
Första dagen med Harrrre guuud ska det va så här är en bra påminnelse att det du gör så bra inte är för alla men helt rätt 👍
Excited for the next chapter !
I'd be freaked out too, but I know Eric knows what he's doing!
I tried to remind myself that he knows what he’s doing-but not always that easy😂❤️ I survived😂
Fantastic video Erik. Your videos inspire us! fair winds!
Thanks for the good video and sailing. Glad to see a new video out. Cheers!
Wishing you and Lady Silje continued goodnatured sparing sessions - absolutely loving Silje's NBJS "No Bull Just Silje" bringing it! 🤘
Erik, mate, I do hope you survive 😂 ...💯❤⚓🖖
Great video Erik, a bit different scenery to your usual ones but love them all
Just glorious Skipper! Godbless you both xx🤗🤗
Wish you well and welcome to Greece :)
Welcome to our country, have a great time !
Beautiful boat and lovely area to sail in too by the looks of it. Look froward to episode 2. thanks as always.
Welcome to my country!..great video as always.
Great holiday!
She settled in quick. Hope all the best for you.
The only thing better than new experiences is sharing those new experiences with someone special.
Beautiful video, well done!
Sun and warm weather, nice
Hello Cpt Erik and Silje, very nice to have you in Greek waters, I hope you enjoyed our seas and the island scenery and hope to see you again here, even drinking a beer together on an island!
Good job getting Erick on your side guys i will certainly think of you first when I decide to sail the islands in the not too distant future 😀
Thank you for having us!
A new series of "NBJS around the world" ?? Cool Video Erik and Silje ! Keep it on !!
