You seem like such nice people that I find myself hoping you will live lives of perpetual happiness. I don't know whether you've ever thought about it, but you're performing such a valuable service for us, your subscribers. By sharing your adventures, you let us be part of experiences we would never otherwise have. I hope you bring one another as much happiness as you bring me and, no doubt, your other viewers, too. And I hope you're adventures never end.
Thank you for your kind words! :) We're so happy for all the subscribers that wants to follow us and we are so happy to be able to share our adventure in this way. Thanks for watching and Happy new year!
Great video! Most of all I appreciate the introspection, too many of the cruising sailors posting videos neglect to reflect on their experience. All your videos have been exceptional. Thanks.
Hey,...Dutch pancakes, well i guess they belong to the world by now. You know, they are nice with good ham and young Gouda ⬅(Dutch cheese) too with a topping of honey mustered saus. Great vid 👍.
Loved it when you said that you all were not thinking about when you are arriving, just living for the moment. What a great mind set for a long transit!! You guys are great!!
is it just me or did I find the lighting to be beautiful? amazing that something so frightening can be an art of nature, I almost envy you for witnessing such amazing phenomenon
It's great that you're checking your course on paper to backup your electronics. Bet most cruisers don't bother, just trusting their chartplotter and their own eyes.
I'm a real tech junkie, but I can't imagine NOT producing a physical chart and log as you go. Not only is it a sensible backup in case of critical failure (What do people think they'll do if something fries all their electronics?) but you could do it on nice acid free archival papers, and store them as a collection, or hang them on the wall of your study if you settle into a house on land somewhere.
BeachBow paper never lies in the hands of a competent sailor....doesn't need batteries or electricity. It should be every sailors first choice not a backup for modern devices. A critical skill that is need especially needed on long passages. Live, love and use old school navigation.
Underbar film igen. Jag känner mig märkligt lugn och tillfreds av era filmer efter att ha sett dem. Fina delfinbilder verkligen. Jag hade massor med delfiner runt båten i medelhavet. Trevligt sällskap.
Thanks, again. I follow a lot of couples and solo circumnavigators, but the quality of your vids, how you film and what, and you two as a couple are a class of it own. Godspeed.
Wonderful video! I've never seen the depiction of a more placid and peaceful 2-person crossing. You both seem to handle your watch shifts effortlessly while remaining well and in good spirits. Most people seem to limp across the finish line, but you two sprinted gracefully. Not sure how you manage it, but it's lovely to behold and very encouraging. Fair winds, beautiful friends! :-)
Decided to watch the video again because it's been a while since I've caught up with all of your sailing adventures so can't sleep tonight so I'm going to watch all your videos the ones I haven't watched peace Rob
As you get older life speeds up. I think that the reason for this is because we focus on life events more. When we are young, time doesn't matter. But when we get older, it matters!
Merry Christmas from Alaska!! We enjoyed very much tagging along with you via Spot. We use it as well as Delorme Inreach here in Alaska. Its a great way for loved ones to keep track. Wish we could sit and have a pancake !! It really is great you have opened your life and shared it with us. Looking forward to more adventures!!!
Hello From Ireland... well I've waited and waited for this video and you two as always didn't disappoint. we look forward to the next episode,Stay safe. Regards Joe & Aisling .
Love ur channel! Thanks, for sharing. I have never sailed in my life. I wish to someday. I love lighting and thunder. I don't know what it is? It gives me a sense of peace, like God is in control and it comforts me. I wouldnt know if it would be the same sailing. lol
Thanks! :) I know the feeling and I can also recall to that while being on land. Out to sea it's just scary! Because if the lightning strikes the boat a lot of things will most probably break. Cheers
An easy way to know if the thunder-stone is coming towards you, and this is assuming you can heard the thunders, is to count the time between the time you see the lightning and heard the thunder. Longer time will imply the storm is going away from you, and shorter time that the storm is approaching.
I enjoy your videos.... God Jul o gott nytt.... then again I'm hopeful there will be another video before Christmas and a couple before the new year, am I being greedy.?!?! Yes maybe.. Ha det gott Warren s/y Legend
Great you are calculating your course with maps and charts. That is how the real sailor's chart their course. Really enjoy your video's. Always informative and interesting.
Thanks for watching! We know very well how slow time can pass when your longing for something. So we're glad that we could cheer you up :) Hang in there and soon you're out there sailing!
Very nice to see a video from you guys! Congrats on the crossing. Those aren't the Swedish pancakes I eat. The ones I like are much smaller. Still have the 6 pancake pan from Sweden my grandmother used. I'm sure the mix is the same. We'll hopefully you guys have some Glogg and a bottle of Akvavit on board. I'll do a shot of Akvavit for you guys an Christmas Eve!
Ah you mean Plättar! We love them too but you need a special pan. The mix is exactly the same. Hope the shot was good and that you didn't have too many ;) Happy new year!
Production quality continues to increase. Well done. Wishing you guys a Merry XMas, and I guess by the time you read this, Welcome to the America's ...
Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noel and God Jul! Thank you for all time and care you put into your videos for us. Wishing you a safe crossing to our side of the world and all the best for 2017!
Was that Dolphin dung you're GoPro had to endure in the water, or Porpoise Poo? I am so grateful that we get to experience so many NEW "happenings"! ;) Great voyage so far! Thanks for letting us tag along. Can you let us know how the wind turbine and the water turbine performed? Did you try looking for your dinghy downwind with your drone the next day?
Always a great video. Thanks guys. Just a tip. A few times in your videos, I noticed both of you using your left hand holding onto the lens from top while filming. Try holding the lens from down. It is easier to balance and stabilize the camera when the lens is resting in your palm than holding it from top. Also if it is possible, rest your left elbow on your body. Take care.
What a great video - thank you. This is one of your best yet. I'm glad you got off with good weather - it's nice for the start. The many shots of the dolphins (above and below the water) were fantastic. I was wondering what are 2 or 3 of your favorite podcasts. Maybe you can leave them in the comments of your next video. Hope all goes well in your passage.and thanks again and Merry Christmas!! Ron
Start of the passage was awe inspiring. Can't believe it's been 2 years since purchasing RAN? Who designed her, she seems both seaworthy & fast with beautiful lines.
Agreed, yet another great episode - thanks so much for sharing. I would really love to hear your opinion of the Snowden story after you've finished reading the book
Really glad you guys made it through. Another superb video and I am also happy that your water generator worked. Merry Christmas guys and thanks for sharing
Great to finally see you cross. I hope you're ready for a rapidly rising subscriber count once you get to the caribbean. It's kind of the 1. law of sailing channels. :D
12:30 - if you are in a emotionally challenging situation a second can be like an hour, if you are up to daily routines time flies, as there is less emotional involvement; this is what is usually referred to as subjective time as opposed to objective time. Fair winds to you :)
Merry xmas from los angeles calif enjoy ur vids you two seem to b real and honest not like some of the chanels i have seen just keep it real and you will do fine.
Its nice to see your film. We did the crossing 2 weeks later and had 12 days wind up to 40 kn the hole time. not only in the Squalls. how different the tradewindpassage could be.
Best video I've seen yet of an ocean crossing. Has deserved repeat viewings. Thanks for reflecting on what it is like to be at sea. Question: What is your night watch schedule? Two hour shifts?
Thanks for sharing another great video of your adventure, I've really been waiting to see your ocean crossing after hearing you had made port. you mentioned in another comment about your generator output, and I was wondering if you have a feel for how it affects both boat handling and speed. I would think it would as a drouge and help steady the boat, but might slow it down a bit.
The towing generator was great and gave us around 1 amp/knot of speed. It didn't slow down the boat a lot, only around 0,2 knots. We didn't notice that it steady the boat, the boat was moving as normal. Happy new year!
Thank you! When we could see the clouds on the horizon and that they were coming closer we reefed both sails and then we stood stand by to see how the wind would shift and if we needed to go out and hand steer.
Hahahaaaiii!! The dolphin 🐬 was taken by surprise.....! How cool 😎

Hey,...Dutch pancakes, well i guess they belong to the world by now. You know, they are nice with good ham and young Gouda ⬅(Dutch cheese) too with a topping of honey mustered saus.
Great vid 👍.
These are not Dutch pancakes, they are Swedish style.
sm6wet Hahahaha 😂.
Loved it when you said that you all were not thinking about when you are arriving, just living for the moment. What a great mind set for a long transit!! You guys are great!!
I think your Viking heritage was kicking in, from one Viking to another.:-)
thank you you guys are the only ones of thousand who sail i would love to meet y,all are good people made be one day
Thank you two very much
oh... the instrument panel is a piece of Art : ) can't help but appreciate the skill it took.... reminds me of when you made it : )
Thanks a lot! I'm also very happy how it turned out :)
Again, you guys have the greatest attitude. Love your togetherness and smooches ... yes, smooches. Same for me and my bride. 😊👍👌⛵️⚓️
Glad to see everything is going smoothly, if a little slowly. Looking forward to part two.
In part two there'll be more wind :)
Looking good guys
Outstanding as always.....
is it just me or did I find the lighting to be beautiful? amazing that something so frightening can be an art of nature, I almost envy you for witnessing such amazing phenomenon
Love love the 🐬💓💓🐬🐬🐬🐬💕💕🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Loving the footage of Dolphins off the bow
Dolphins always cheer us up while sailing :)
really cool
It's great that you're checking your course on paper to backup your electronics. Bet most cruisers don't bother, just trusting their chartplotter and their own eyes.
We really like our big paper chart of the north Atlantic and agree that it's a great backup!
I'm a real tech junkie, but I can't imagine NOT producing a physical chart and log as you go. Not only is it a sensible backup in case of critical failure (What do people think they'll do if something fries all their electronics?) but you could do it on nice acid free archival papers, and store them as a collection, or hang them on the wall of your study if you settle into a house on land somewhere.

Vad härligt! Tack :) Delfiner är alltid kul att se när man seglar :) God jul på dig!
God Jul till er sköna människor också! :)
Great video - nice part 1 was a smooth passage. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, again. I follow a lot of couples and solo circumnavigators, but the quality of your vids, how you film and what, and you two as a couple are a class of it own. Godspeed.
Thank you so much! Make us very happy :) Happy new year!
Much love from the States fellow Swedes
Excellent footage and storyline. A lightning storm at sea seems very scary. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
It was very scary! /Malin
really excellent film and great shots of dolphins
Thanks! :)
Fantastic. That you.
Great crossing Atlantic Ocean.incredible view guys, I am very happy for you guys goring very well. Thank you again.
Personally I just liked the Clockwork Orange Droogs t-shirt... thanks for the quality vids and sailing, my fav for pure sailing and adventures
I like videos on sailing and yours was a great one. I can't wait for more.
You seem like a nice classy couple. Thank you.
Thank you so much Daniel!
amazing footage of the lightening storm!
Thanks! It was actually a compilation of a lot of thunderstorms. We saw lightnings every night for a while!
Wonderful video! I've never seen the depiction of a more placid and peaceful 2-person crossing. You both seem to handle your watch shifts effortlessly while remaining well and in good spirits. Most people seem to limp across the finish line, but you two sprinted gracefully. Not sure how you manage it, but it's lovely to behold and very encouraging. Fair winds, beautiful friends! :-)
Thank you for your kind words :) I think we're a very good team, Johan and I :) Happy new year! /Malin

As you get older life speeds up. I think that the reason for this is because we focus on life events more. When we are young, time doesn't matter. But when we get older, it matters!
Merry Christmas from Alaska!! We enjoyed very much tagging along with you via Spot. We use it as well as Delorme Inreach here in Alaska. Its a great way for loved ones to keep track.

RAN Sailing And you two.....Enjoy ....
another great video...especially the video underwater...thanks for all you do letting us share your adventure..
great vid guys,fair winds,,paul
Great adventure!
Love ur channel! Thanks, for sharing. I have never sailed in my life. I wish to someday. I love lighting and thunder. I don't know what it is? It gives me a sense of peace, like God is in control and it comforts me. I wouldnt know if it would be the same sailing. lol
Thanks! :) I know the feeling and I can also recall to that while being on land. Out to sea it's just scary! Because if the lightning strikes the boat a lot of things will most probably break. Cheers
That sounds really scary! Lol Not the same peace and comfort. What an adventure!
Hang tight getting through those storms! And may great protection be upon you guys. Sounds worth it for the adventures. :)
awesome great job guys.
An easy way to know if the thunder-stone is coming towards you, and this is assuming you can heard the thunders, is to count the time between the time you see the lightning and heard the thunder. Longer time will imply the storm is going away from you, and shorter time that the storm is approaching.
It's a good way! We've been doing that since we were kids. It's hard though when it comes really close because the bangs are so loud!
love your mindset
Sean in Ireland
I enjoy your videos.... God Jul o gott nytt.... then again I'm hopeful there will be another video before Christmas and a couple before the new year, am I being greedy.?!?! Yes maybe.. Ha det gott

another beautiful video. thanks.
Thanks for watching! :)
one day I will be sailing like you guys :)
That's great! :)
Me too :) One day :)
Great videos and cool you entered Grenada Marine 😄👍
Thanks Charlotte! :) We've been having a very good time here in Grenada Marine!
Great video and love the dolphin shots. Lets hope the wind picks up for you to a level that your comfortable with.
Love the short intro and smooth transition..... awesome progress !!!!
Great video guys. Enjoying your long passage. You are both very relaxed and have got into the "groove" of long passage-making quickly.
Great you are calculating your course with maps and charts. That is how the real sailor's chart their course. Really enjoy your video's. Always informative and interesting.
We like to use the paper charts as you get a better overview. Thanks for watching!
Think you got no wind now, wait till you cross the Sargasso Sea and the Horse lattitudes. Good luck on that.
Great Video guy's. Enjoyed every minute of it.
hope to see your next video soon because that will mean you made it across ok.
Great to have found you videos! We leave in February 2017 and it's great to see how others are doing. :-)
That's great to hear :) Good luck with your sailing plans!
Another great video you two do a great job always enjoy watching you two Be safe and Merry Christmas
I really enjoyed this video and look forward to following you across the Atlantic. thanks for posting!
Great episode. love the sailing footage.
Thanks for the video. I really needed to see this today. 14 months until I join you on the seas, but time is not going fast for me these days.
Thanks for watching! We know very well how slow time can pass when your longing for something. So we're glad that we could cheer you up :) Hang in there and soon you're out there sailing!
Great video! Love the tracking device so we can follow your journey a little more in "real time".
Yes it's great! In the future maybe we can get an Iridium and then we can send some updates every day and receive and send messages :)
Very nice to see a video from you guys! Congrats on the crossing. Those aren't the Swedish pancakes I eat. The ones I like are much smaller.

Thanks a lot Ron! We mostly listen to Swedish podcasts and one we like a lot is called Rättegångspodden, the trial pod in English. Happy new year!
Have been waiting for your new video. Great Video again. Hope to see a lot more soon. Have a save trip :)
Glad you liked it! :) Cheers
Fint avsnitt! Ni är väldigt inspirerande. Både seglingen och hur ni lever i nuet! Ser fram emot part 2.
Tusen tack! :)
Start of the passage was awe inspiring. Can't believe it's been 2 years since purchasing RAN? Who designed her, she seems both seaworthy & fast with beautiful lines.
Time flies when you're having fun?
15:30 -- was putting the GPS in a metal pot, about protection from EMP of a lightning strike? Something that I had never considered....
Agreed, yet another great episode - thanks so much for sharing. I would really love to hear your opinion of the Snowden story after you've finished reading the book
Really glad you guys made it through. Another superb video and I am also happy that your water generator worked. Merry Christmas guys and thanks for sharing
