The Norwegian solo sailor Erik Aanderaa has become a YouTube-hit with more than 100K followers and over 3 million views on his most popular video. Now he is heading west towards Greenland; Just as the vikings did. We meet up with him aboard his Contessa 35 Tessie in his homeport Haugesund just days before he casts off.

You can, and should, follow Erik Aanderaa on his No Bullshit Just Sailing channel.

If you need information about sailing in the high latitudes check out the book I wrote with Bob Shepton: High Latitude Sailing - Self-sufficient sailing techniques for cold waters and winter seasons.
