Norway’s Rugged Remote Islands, Found! | Ep. 164

Come join us as we sail north from Norway’s second largest city, Bergen, to discover a world far removed from the busy streets of urban life. Here, we find rugged beauty in the form of remote islands on the front lines to the Norwegian Sea. We wind our way via narrow water passages to discover a charming landscape beyond the typical travel brochures. We get an up close view of the salmon fishing operations and the companies that are working for a more sustainable food source for our world’s growing population. Finally, we step across the threshold into Norway’s longest fjord, the Sognefjorden, as we prepare to voyage deep into the interior of this signature feature of the Norwegian travel industry, yet one that few have the opportunity to discover on a personal basis.

As follower of many sailing channels I love the way you present the places you visit. I grew up in the West Coast of Norway and I can "smell" the sea when looking at your videos. Thanks.

Oh, that makes me so happy! Thanks for your kind comment. We have lots more footage we are working through - I hope you will enjoy those as well.

Spectacularly beautiful, l having travelled in the area brings back memories and reminds me I need to go back!

[@LifeFourPointZero]

It really is a tremendous place to travel around!

I think you might be missing out by not doing Scandi-style mooring while in Scandinavia. It is the superior way.

[@LifeFourPointZero]

@@eckligt yes, I am sure we are missing out on some levels but for the amount of time we were going to be in those waters the amount of effort required to get an anchor rigged up to reliably deploy and retrieve a primary anchor from the stern didn’t seem worth it. We debated it …
Once we got to waters with greater tide fluctuations, we didn’t see much of the Scandinavian style mooring - which makes perfect sense.
Thanks for the comment.
