I was WARNED about crossing this OCEAN! - Chapter 2
Join this incredible ride in stormy conditions across the Folda Ocean! This is one of Norways most feared open coastlines. With westerly winds the Norwegian Sea is pumping up huge waves crashing into the rugged coastline.

I'm sailing ALONE towards the North Pole! - Chapter 1
Kvitøya Svalbard, Norway
I departed Haugesund, Norway at June 12. My plan was to head up to the North Pole ice cap edge, to see how far north I could get with Tessie, until beeing stopped by the ice.

This sail is a GAMECHANGER onboard Tessie!
This will come in handy around Svalbard, as week winds are knowned to pass around up there for longer periodes. This way I dont have to motor around too much, burning diesel and waiting for winds.

This boat is CRAZY! Will Silje SURVIVE?
Ibiza Balearic Islands, Spain
Me and Silje had the pleasure of sailing one of the most insane performance cruisers in the Mediterranean Sea- the Shogun 43! This yacht is designed comletely out of carbon fiber, from mast top to keel bulb.

Sailing in a GALE for 30 minutes- UNEDITED!
Norway
A lot of viewers has requested a video like this, so here we go :) Hang on for a 30 minute unedited oneshot sail! This was recorded on my trip back from Shetland to Norway mid March 2026. No editing, no music.

I would've NEVER had sailed if I knew THIS!
During the return across a very windy North Sea, I was unaware of my mast support structure massively failing below deck. As the shrouds came slack, I thought it was a normal strech. Boy was I wrong!
