1. It’s more fun in bad weather

2. The day I bought my first car I had to take a ferry back home, the sea was wild and a massive wave came over the edge of the boat into the car compartment. Shits were had.

3. That’s nowhere near horrible weather there..

4. A fellow person from sørøya I see, nice

5. IMO that looks like decently calm seas ..

6. r/submechanophobia screaming inside.

7. Dude, im there right now. F-ing impossible to fish in 25 m/s: (

8. Have been in that weather far too many times (mostly on a small boat to pull up our fishing nets/crab nets), so I definitely know how it feels like.

9. I’m moving from Skien to Hammerfest next week! Extremely excited!! 😀

10. Bad weather? I see no such thing, bad weather is when the sun is out, shiny devil

11. That not too good

12. This is horrible weather?

13. That was indeed a fast hurtigbåt!

14. Yeah, that’s not horrible weather. That’s mediocre weather.

    Edit: actually, the sky is blue – that’s good weather.

15. Im from a place where ferries are used. And when its slightly windy, they feel like fucking hell. I myself visit my gf every other months with 3 ferries each way. And i need music, movie or food. If i focus on it i get anxiety lmao

    Norwegian water kinda sus

16. We have an expression in the Norwegian far north – ‘vi veit kor vi bor’ – in dialect, we know where we live.

    Up here, that’s just Friday.

17. When you bring friends on the hurtigbåt and they’ve never been on one so you tell them to go sit in the front😎

18. that looks super fun ngl.

19. AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!

20. Have to be way worse than that to stop boats from going out on the sea. Now winds of 20+ km/s make thst boatride reaøøy uncomfortable

21. As a young adult I used to cross the Oslo fjord to go to parties from time to time. With enough alcohol to kill a horse and a stormy sea, it’s the closest I got to being a real Viking. Good times.

22. to where i used to live we had custom ferries with side thrusters as powerfull as the main propellors so the ferry could travel in the worst weather. the hurtigbåt was fun aswell here

23. It absolutely stops if the weather is bad enough.

    This just isn’t regarded as bad enough in Norway.

24. They are cancelled when the weather is *really* bad. Those are light boats that don’t take a whole lot of beating.

25. Eyyy sørøya is where am from, you a tourist or someone who lives there?

26. Ååå tru meg de stopper en god del

27. jeg blir ganske båt syk, jeg husker jeg var på ferga for en stund siden i likens vær, fy faen jeg kaste opp over hele dassen.

    syntes syn for de som måtte vaske opp..

28. Hey, I work there 👍

29. We only have plastic boats going between Harstad and Tromsø, so they cancel trips all the time due to bad weather. But the boat between Lysnes and Tromsø is da bomb, so it has to be big iceflakes or hurricane for that boat to be cancelled 🤣

30. Don’t disappoint your Viking ancestors

31. Oooh you’re going to the Hasvik/Brevikbotn part on the island. Cool

32. That is not soo bad – from Norway

33. Im from Hammerfest and that aint bad weather :p

34. that aint horrible weather

35. That is not norwegian bad weather.
    If you find yourself 1meter above your seat when you hit the waves, then it is slightly windy, hang on.

    😀🤌🏻

36. Plot twist: that’s a bus not a ferry

37. Horrible weather? Thats like a calm Sunday afternoon in Northern Norway!

38. Normalt vær det der
