Sailing Across The Gulf Of Alaska - Ep. 123 RAN Sailing

  • We heard a growling sound and a bad smell in the distance. Guess what we found? A huge Sea Lion colony on a tiny rock island! We set sail east to cross the Gulf of Alaska and leave south central Alaska to arrive in South East Alaska and the Inside Passage. Hope you like this extra long episode :)
    We are a Swedish couple who wanted a different kind of life. So we moved aboard our sailboat RAN, a custom built Beason 40 in aluminium, untied the lines in the middle of the Swedish winter, January 2016, and started sailing south along the coast of Europe. There is no set route and we will go where the wind and our minds take us.

      Most people will never understand the amount of work and countless hours (and money) it takes to put together a quality video (like Ran does and a few other sailing channels). From the actual footage, to carrying cameras with them everywhere, trying to "stage" scenes which appeal to their viewers, going through 30-40 hours of raw footage, editing it down to 15-20 minutes, doing voice overs, adding music thats not copy righted, to finding good wifi to upload the video, to waiting sometimes hours for it to upload, etc.......To me they are film makers and should be respected whether folks like their non confrontational content or not. I very really give a thumbs down to anyone for those reasons, but I gave one for LaVagabond and Uma recently solely for their topic which I disagreed with (as 100's did). I still watch them and I just hope enough thumbs down on each of those videos will make them re-think the type of video they put out..I just want to see sailing and/or travel by boat and not political/controversial videos...For these guys on Ran, they just keep putting out superb quality videos, so to answer your question. I would find it hard to see anyone give them a thumbs down (they do zero confrontational). To be fair, I never watched RAN while they were cruising the Caribbean. I started to watch them as they crossed the Pacific because there are just to many white sand beaches, booze, T & A, crystal blue water and obvious and subliminal advertising sailing channels out there. I guess that was to long of an answer......lmao

    I show my parents a lot of videos on TH-cam but you 2 are the only ones they ever ask about. They always ask where you are now and if everything is going good for you, so I put your latest video on their TV and we all sit around and watch. You're a really likeable couple and your videos are well done and tell a great story.

    As an Elfin Cove Alum I will be anxious to see your next video. There's not much there except a nice dock and fishing lodges but it is a beautiful place. My sister and her husband used to own a lodge there. It was always a great deal of fun to visit. As I recall there always seemed to be an endless supply of fresh crab, salmon and halibut! Yummy!
