    Sorry, but I gotta say the road with the many hairpin turns is a vivid illustration of what it is like to tack on your sailboat. And, I had a very hard morning with lots of computer problems caused by system upgrades. But since watching your video, my mood has dramatically changed. So, thank you for that. :¬) Webhead USA

    Matt, Glad i wasn't the only one who thought a sporty car would have been amazing on that road! Although it looks like traffic would make it tricky anyway.
    Beautiful video. Those drone shots were amazing! Keep them coming!

  • @cjk-wk9fg
    @cjk-wk9fg Před 4 lety

    One of your best videos yet! As we watched it, I kept thinking how photos and videos never do scenery justice. If the places you visited were that beautiful in a video, I could only imagine what they looked like in person. Thanks for letting us get a close-up view of some amazing natural beauty. Love you both!

    You're right! The clarity of the water over those rocks was amazing. Matt's excitement over it was fun.
    Clean it up, J! Too funny. See what being a sailor has done to you.
    Snowball fight!
    Boy, what a drive. How do you keep track of what side of the road for each country. What a visual treat coming down those hairpins. Narrow roads. How do they not have a million accidents? Hairpins, narrow road, and awesome scenery to distract. Thank you for risking your lives (and putting up the drone) for those spectacular views. And, yes Matt, what you needed was one more thing to concentrate on, a clutch/stickshift! Good driving.
    I'm guessing you'd last no more than a minute in the water. Instafreeze!
    What a fantastic day you two had. You could see it in your faces. Long time coming and well earned.
    Incidentlally, this version of Pandemonium has just stuck in my head since I first commented on it. Thank you. And this sounds a little goofy, but when I listen to the vocal (and it's sad that she's no longer with us), I could have been convinced (I don't know if you can sing a note or not) that this was Jessica singing. It sounds a bit like you. Anyway...
    Thanks for sharing your day. And good on you, J-Lo, for the beer, and I suspect the car loaner.

    @triton20101 Před 4 lety +1

    Just a thought carrying on from Matt's comment: You are sailing pretty constantly and focused on the weather with respect to how it affects where you want to go. Do you spend any time thinking about spending extended time in any one spot and experiencing the weather changes as it goes through a yearly cycle or two? (Or, are you caught up in being a rolling stone and having glances at those places you pass through?)

    • @mattjohnson6716
      @mattjohnson6716 Před 4 lety +1

      We were visa limited to only 3 months in Norway, so we had to get there, see as much as possible, and then leave before the fall weather trapped us illegally in the country. Otherwise we might have stayed for the year. Visas- more than weather- dictate where we go and for how long. But we are enjoying the seasonal change currently in Scotland... they'll have us for 6 months at a time:)

      Check out the "Tail Of The Dragon" at Deals Gap located on the NC/Tennessee border. 318 curves in 11 miles, and I'm talking switchbacks for a majority of them. I video taped riding it both ways on my Gold Wing years ago and still am mesmerized every time I watch it. Probably some CZcams videos of it also.

    It is interesting to see "home" explored and shared by your fresh eyes (I discovered your channel recently during the crossing from Færøyene)
    Now I am curious - do you guys have a video that explains what made you have sailing Norway on a wish-list for 5 years? Does it have a back-story or was it motivated just by "why not?"
    (I think it is a wonderful idea - not just from being Norwegian - but also from the POV that in addition to cat-videos, youtube is filled up with couples sailing around in the tropics. A change of scenery is nice - even though I know this scenery well. It is kind of a rediscovery - to let you show it and remind me that yes - it is rather pretty/interesting/peculiar).
