    Malin getting sea sick is a lousy feeling she must be a good lady to stick with it. Thank you for sharing your adventures

      Thanks a lot for your feedback Steve! We try to keep it as honest as possible. Sailing isn't all sunshine and palm trees. :-) Thanks for watching and take care!

    You Sir are a Very Lucky Man! Not only is your First Mate Beautiful, but she is also very Brave. Although she gets seasick, she still goes to sea with you, living the Dream. God Bless you Both! Keep up the Great Videos!

    I loved the video. It just shows that step-by-step: strong winds, low winds, downwind, rolly seas all it takes is patience and you eventually arrive at your destination. Safe journey.

    Poor poor Malin, I really hope you find something for the sea sickness, so as to make your adventures enjoyable. Great video clips from the best calm and easy going couple on you tube.... thank you⛵️

    Great episode - thanks. I have a thought on your shaft noise. On my previous boat, I had a "dripless shaft seal". It was designed not to leak any water and it didn't. But it would get air trapped inside the log (where the shaft enters the boat) and that would cause the seal to make a kind of screeching noise. That was annoying but it also caused the shaft to overheat in the area of the seal. After about 100 engine hours, the shaft finally broke at the location of the seal. I found out before it was too late that I should periodically "burp" the seal to release any trapped water. When I replaced the shaft and the seal, the seal maker had re-designed the seal to incorporate a vent so that burping would not be necessary. I looked at your video of the shaft/seal area and couldn't tell what kind of setup you have but it doesn't look like the type of seal I had. Still, it is possible you may be having a similar problem?? The way air gets in the log is by going hard in reverse. The prop cavitates and pushes lots of air bubbles forward, into the log.
    Have a safe trip.

    Hi guys, loving your work! Have to question the wisdom of doing the dishes without a harness though. Very risky!
    Of all the sailing channels I watch, I think I enjoy the open honesty of yours. Part travel guide, part logbook, always entertaining! Thank you so much! I'm slowly bing watching my way up to date and can't wait to catch up to you in almost real time! Hope you are doing well and see you again soon!

  • @normanboyes4983
    @normanboyes4983 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent video, story telling and production. If you have a conventional/traditional stuffing box - take the grease line out and heat it up to get rid of old grease.

    • @RANSailing
      @RANSailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks a lot Norman! :) Unfortunately it's not a conventional stuffing box, it's a dripless unit that Volvo Penta produce. In Sweden we call the Black Jack. I will try to put more grease so it will last over the Atlantic but it need replacement. Cheers, Johan

  • @wernerbezuidenhout9532
    @wernerbezuidenhout9532 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey Johan, I like the way you choose the English words so "carefully". Thinking about it and with confidence say something not in Swedish but in English. I'm South African and my mother tongue is Afrikaans. Very close to Dutch and Belgium. So speaking in English/American very "rusty" if you know what I mean. But what I want to say is that the way you translate directly from Swedish to English is what makes your sailing vlog so special. Like when you lost your Ray Ban's and said you were going to buy a "couple". And Malin laughed and asked how many do you need. You wanted to say you need a "pair". Now in certain Languages a pair and a couple could be the same thing. Anyways , just go on being the cool Viking and treat Malin like your princess. If you ever come to Cape Town, it will be my honor to have you , and to treat you on all the nice things in the Western Cape. After the Atlantic crossing you must come back to Cape Town. If you didnt start, Come to

    Got a great tip for you, just in case you don't know about it. I noticed you were having egg sandwiches for lunch and it made me think of this little tip if you will take vegetable oil and layer it over the egg shells it will preserve the eggs for weeks and sometimes months. This will allow you to have eggs on a longer voyage!

      About your "shaft" issue when you use a black jack shaft seal make shure that there is no air trapped in the seal by pressing on both sides of the seal until water starts to flow out

    Great video guys. Just a note, for sea sickness, at your next port buy some pure Peppermint essential oils. A drop in glass of water settles your tummy plus if you touch the top (cap off of course) and rub ur fingers together to warm the oil and sniff it, that will also help you. Fairvwinds on your crossing!

    When I start getting motion sickness at the beginning of a passage, I occupy myself at the wheel and that does the trick. I just stand at the wheel and hand steer for quite awhile. But its different for everyone. The trick is to keep trying the methods until something works!! Good luck! And great footage!

    • @RANSailing

    If you feel sea sick, try Rich tea biscuits, they are hard to eat when feeling sick but they work great & you will feel better after taking some, i have tried them with 60-70 ft waves up shetland in a force 11 & a old fisherman told me that trick & it works great ;)

    Look for ginger paste. It is the best thing by far for motion sickness. Walmarts have it in a plastic tube for about $3.

    Try this breathing exercise... When the boat rises take a deep breath and hold it till the boat begins to fall. Breath normally until the boat begins to rise. Fill your lungs with a deep breath as the boat crests and exhale as it drops and begin to breath normally. It's almost a form of meditation that will relax you and with time you won't know your doing it. Proven to work as a Coast Guard Search and Rescue small boat operator for 5 years. Hope it works for you and anyone else that may try it. Stay safe!

    Once again, G.R.E.A.T. Attitude you guys have in times of difficulties. It is actually helping me in mine right now as we have issue after issue getting free from Arizona and moving to Florida and on our cat by year end. Thank you so much for being the example and happy Malin is not sick anymore. Had to ask where was your funny glasses to prevent seasickness?? :-)

  • @syirisno
    @syirisno 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Being seasick is really not fun and it derails often what else that goes on. I have tried a few remedies and have found Stugeron to be very good. Apprantly it works on the balance nerves in the ear, different from other remedies. That avoids the drowsiness that comes with other brands. Give it a try.
    And thanks for producing all the great contents.

    • @RANSailing
      @RANSailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I tried Stugeron on our latest sail, and it was really good. So I will be using it again for the first couple of days on the Atlantic crossing. Thanks for the tip! Take care

    As always we love your videos, we're sailors from British Columbia, Canada. We are longtime sailors, although not familiar with open ocean sailing we would strongly suggest, for your safety when working on open decks, that you wear lifejackets. We're sailing a Panda 40 cutter rig and highly recommend a visit to our part of the World. Many cruiser/sailors who have sailed to the far reaches have said that our area is the best and most beautiful ! We would welcome you to visit us in Beautiful British Columbia..with thousands of Island, Fjords, Bays and friendly people..

    My go to remedy for bullet proofing me from seasickness was to use a prescription of Scopolamine in a 0.4mg pill named Scopace made commercially by Hope Industries. They quite making the pill in 2012, so I had to get a compounding pharmacy to make it for me in a 0.4mg capsule form. It still requires a prescription for them to make, but my doctor was still able to prescribe it. One every 4 hours works best for me while kayak fishing in the rough Pacific ocean with a 30 to 45 minute head start on the first one of the day.
    Maybe check online where you can get locate a compounding pharmacy to have this made for you (provided you can get a prescription for it as well.

    Even though I´m from the same neck of the woods as you are (Skanör) I´ll write in English for all those not fortunate enough to be from from Sweden :). I do love to see your adventures, very well filmed and narrated. Do you foresee any difficulties with waves and the solar panels on the lifelines? When are you planning to cross the Atlantic to the West Indies? Will you continue through the Panama canal? And now swedish: helt suveräna filmer, jag blir ännu mer sugen på att göra seglatsen själv framöver. Mycket inspirerande!

    • @RANSailing
      @RANSailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hej Paul! Tusen tack för fin feedback :) Planerar du en långsegling i framtiden? We haven't had any problems with wind or waves and the solar panels. We're planning to cross in the middle of November and then we hope to make to the Pacific through the Panama canal :) Ha det fint!

    Have you tried natural ginger tablets from a health food store or pharmacy (Take them before you feel sick) or Fishermans Friend sweets (along the way) they are both great for seasickness and keep hydrated with water this also helps. We enjoy your videos thanks for sharing - Fair Winds from the Caribbean.

    Thanks again for sharing the reality of true sailing.. But next time you get sick.. LOL.. have a pregnancy test ready... he he he he.. or issue poker chips and have a puking contest... Sorry.. I know that sounds obscured.. but hey! What do you do when there is no choice.. make a game of it.. and the time will past with wonderful memories. Even if it is a distasteful moment. Good luck you guys.. Looking forward to the next episode of your adventure. :)

    Great video RAN crew. Your videos are getting better and better. You can't catch a dolphin much smaller than that so I'm sure get a few that are much larger on you crossing. Where are guys heading to?
    Over 15,000 subs already! I think you guys many need to think of what you'll do at 100,000!

    • @RANSailing

      Thanks Jonathan! Haha! Yes, it was certainly a really small dolphin fish. :-) We hope to be more lucky during our crossing. We haven't decided fully yet where we are going, but we are leaning towards going directly to Grenada to haul the boat there. We need to replace the anods, and get a new layer of antifouling paint. The problem with the stuffing box is also one of the reasons why we might go directly. But first we are going to cruise a bit in the Cabo Verde. :-)
      100.000 subs! Yes that would have been something! :-) If we ever get there I will think of something cool to do! :-) Take care! /Johan

      Maybe reach out to Rick Moore for some advice on the best place to haul out. He's here on youtube or check his website out to email him. He's been sailing the area for 10 years. I think he said this his his last season and before heading west toward the Pacific. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to give sound advice and contacts. Well I guess we'll get one more video before you guys are MIA for a bit during the crossing.

    Great video serie, love to see your adventure at sea. May I ask what color your sprayhood and lazy bag have ? My boat need new one's. and I love the colors off yours.

    • @RANSailing
      @RANSailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks a lot! :) We don't remember the name of the color but it's the same as the one we have on the topsides which is called RAL 7043 (Traffic Grey B).

    • @heineramm4742
      @heineramm4742 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, thanks for showing the check in procedure. What do you use most for finding out the requirements for entering countries. Do you use anything for seasickness or just grin and bare it.

    • @RANSailing
      @RANSailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      We normally google and look at Noonsite and then we take screen shots of the important things. Works fine! For the seasickness, I've tried many things but what works best is to bare it and it normally goes away after 48 hours or so. Thanks for watching!

    Hi RAN people :) Really nice to see your video again, and.. It's educational for a new beginner in living aboard man that hope to step in your footsteps some day soon.
    Perhaps its a rather stupid question but i see you use a nice shipslog, and i have looked in several places but not could find a proper book. Still use the laptop version but that's less convenient (just some information for myself)
    Can you tell me where you get a proper shipslog book that i can use in my starting journeys? I'm jealous of yours hehehe.
    Have a safe trip guys and hopefully the problem of the shaft will be really minor.

    • @RANSailing
      @RANSailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Glad you like the videos and find them useful! We bought this logbook in Guernsey, it's called Adlard Coles Nautical Logbook. It's ok but we think it would be better to have more days in every book spread to make it last longer. Fair winds to you and take care!

    Before taking the stuffing box apart - I would make sure any zinc anode has not come adrift on the prop shaft- externally ? Also - I see a spot location tracking transmitter flashing away. Do you publish a link for those interested in your adventure, to follow ? Best regards, another really good view, with loads of interesting content :)

    • @RANSailing
      @RANSailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for your input John! I have dived to check the anod, and it looks ok, so unfortunately I think the problem is in the stuffing box. We do have a SPOT, the link is in the description box on this video! :-) Thanks for watching! /Johan

    Hej vilken fin liten Mahi Mahi ni fick. Vet att man kallar den Dorado i Portugal men kallar man den makrill i Skåne? Nog hört begreppet Guldmakrill med.
    Har ni ändrat planer? För några avsnitt pratades det om Brasilien........ Nu pratas det om Karibien...?

    Another great video. why don't you use the onboard shower?

    • @RANSailing
      @RANSailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      We try too conserve fresh water when sailing so we wash in saltwater and just rinse off the salt afterwards with the shower. Thanks for watching!

    • @haynesfamily7752
      @haynesfamily7752 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great idea. Do you have a way of making fresh water? there are plenty of gadgets available and great for a long sea crossing. And good luck with that. I guess we will see you on the other side. I will be watching.

    • @RANSailing
      @RANSailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No we haven't, we really want a water maker... We have to come up with a good way to save rainwater during squalls :)

    • @haynesfamily7752
      @haynesfamily7752 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      RAN Sailing I guess something like a rain saucer that rolls up would be Ok. But would the water still get contaminated by salt?

  • @Two-aboard-tuuli
    @Two-aboard-tuuli 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really enjoyed the video and a great documentation of your crossing. But how did the entry to the Bay of Mindelo go at nighttime?

    • @RANSailing
      @RANSailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks guys! It wasn't any problem really to enter at night. But the channel between Santo Antao and Sao Vicente can have quite strong acceleration winds. We had 10-12 knots north of the islands and 25-30 knots the last 7-8 Nm before the bay. So if you arrive in winds greater than 15-20 knots true I would recommend to heave to and wait for daylight. Take care!

    • @Two-aboard-tuuli
      @Two-aboard-tuuli 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      RAN Sailing That sounds very reasonable.
