Erik Aanderaa

Follow my adventures across the North Atlantic ocean as I sail my little boat alone wherever I go, seeking strong winds and high waves. I guess Im not another typical sailing channel with all the beach parties, snorkle diving and hot water cruising.

Im here to give you the best of what the icecold North Atlantic solo sailing can provide- this is all about sailing, therefore: NO BULLSHIT JUST SAILING
