Sailing Back To The Islands - Ep. 139 RAN Sailing

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2024
- The island life is calling us so we sail from Vancouver, Canada, to the Gulf Islands, an archipelago next to Vancouver Island. On our way to Wallace Island Chopper 9 makes a fly by and we spend two days on the quiet little island.
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.

RAN Sailing! The best sailing Vlog on TH-cam! I feel so refreshed each week after watching. I must say that I get more envious every week. My father in law is 87 years old and has told me that he is giving us his 42' Motor Sailboat. At first I thought we would just sell the boat but each week I start thinking about taking sailing classes at the local yacht club. I have RAN to thank for my quandary. I love the fact that your videos are pure sailing and sailing life. No crazy booze parties, foul language, nearly naked people to boost subscriptions. Just sailing. Thank you Mailin & Johan. BTW, the helicopter video was epic!
That’s great to hear! Thank you so much 😊 Of course you should use the boat ⛵️
I totally agree with you. I enjoy channels such as SV Delos but this is a more pure experience of sailing life.
Don't thing about taking sailing classes at the local yacht club. Do it 😊 so you can enjoy the boat
@@henriks.pedersen4938 what do you recommend?
@@Maoli2013 You are thinking to take sailing classes at the local yacht club. Dont think about that, take the sailing class (do it, do it, do it, do it.. couldn't resist😊) enjoy the boat and have fun
Tears form while watching Malin express joy and wonder. Such a captivating couple. Beautiful episode.
For people who know, or want to know, the real joy of sailing; this is it - this what it feels like. The peace, the beauty, the wonder and the awe. So nicely done!
Thanks a lot for the kind words James!
“ Sailing Emerald Steel “, “ How to Sail Oceans “ , and “ Ran Sailing “ . The best of the best and true sailing channels. Thanks for all that you do and letting us see the world through your eyes.
most channels only have a drone not a helicopter & cameraman ;-')
Thanks for sharing
Lovely. You guys are so famous now that you even have paparazzi following you.
Just great videos, giving all of sailors, ex-sailors and want to be sailors sooooo much pleasure. Thank you.
Your cinematography and editing are superb!
Thanks a lot Caroline 😊
Great video...you are doing Canada proud with your footage and commentary, much thanks. 🇨🇦 Helicopter was very cool, very deserved tribute for your efforts.
Thank you once again for a beautiful film I just wish they were feature length, they end too soon. Safe travels
Här sitter jag och tittar på eran film i början på februari , och ni får mig till att längta tills våran säsong börjar här i Sverige.
Tack för en massa bra filmer.
S/Y Carisma
Tack Håkan! Vi har 15 cm snö på däck här i Seattle, så vi börjar längta efter lite sydligare breddgrader igen. :-)
My favorite part was when Malin shouted "Hi Murray!"
That was my favourite part too, Murray :)
I follow lots of sailing channels, you guys make me feel good and put a smile on my face... I see the joy in your eyes, and I think that's what sailing should be about! Enjoy your time together on this beautiful planet of ours. Thank you for taking me with you,giving me something that I am not able to give myself.Keep doing what you are doing! Thank you.
Yes, three cheers for your helicopter friends,,,and those wonderful low passes. Pure joy, and tears, here on my couch in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Sail on, dear Swedes!
I’m a former Tulsan living on a sailboat currently in The Keys
Thanks for watching and following us! The helicopter was just fantastic!:-)
Love the helicopter dancing 💃
RAN Sailing is beautiful. Your sailboat is one of the best looking ones on the internet. Love the aluminum! You two seem to be fearless and comfortable with all creatures, land, air and sea. Your video quality is top notch and your choices of destinations incredible. Keep up the fantastic journey, and thank you so much for sharing it with the world. Your laid back, relaxed attitude is magical, and so appreciated during a difficult time. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! :)
You know the old adage, the grass is always greener....on the other side of the world. 😂👍✌️
Brilliant. The Gulf islands are a true gift to those who have opportunity to enjoy them.
Thank you for sharing.
Another awesome Ran Sailing adventure on Canada's wet coast!
Wet West*
Thanks for following us! Cheers!
Drömmer om en liknade resa. Men hoppar över de kallare delarna av världen. Tack för att ni delar:)
You two make these episodes so interesting and enjoyable to watch and listen to your voices. I have a lot of time flying in helicopters and I'm so glad you were given a chance to ride around in that beautiful area.....safest way to fly. Thank you both!!
Your videos are so beautiful and so are you two.. Thank you so much...
The difference between the resolution of your videography and that of the chopper's is telling. The technology of today is simply amazing as is your adventure. Fair winds.
Thank you, for allowing me to share in your journey. Your video’s are warm and natural, a pleasure to watch.
Thanks for watching and following us Floyd!
I loved the eagle watching from the treetop and your helicopter dance. 🚁💃
Another great video, never get bored with your exceptional talents and stories. Thank you Johan and Malin. 👌👍🙏
Thanks a lot Paul for watching and following us along!
Having spent my life in and around the gulf islands (my parents have a cottage on Wise just south of Wallace) I have long loved the Arbutus trees. They flower every other year and since I am lucky enough to have some in our yard I get treated to their lovely smell at dawn and dusk.
The ship you showed carrying logs at 19:37 reminded me of the tipping barges they use to build log booms. They get a barge full of logs, build a ring of chained together logs beside it and then flood half of it until it tips over and the deck full of logs slip into the boom.
Those trees with the peeling bark are very special. They are the yew tree and provided a very effective medicine against breast cancer. They are common around vancouver island and the south coast of BC.
I feel so relaxed. It's like as if I was sailing myself.
So nice to see you flying the Canadian Flag on RAN. Great job showing off our country!
It is nice that you have your own Helicopter escort. You need to rig a heliport on the back of Ran like they have on the super yachts. Keep up the good videos. They make my day.
Nice way to end the day. Snuggled up in bed with my basset hound snoring, fan blowing and watching another episode of Ran Sailing.
Aww a basset! Lovely dogs! :-)
Hearing the boat sliding through the water... So mesmerizing
I usually lookup your locations on Google Earth. It helps me keep my perspective on where you are (instead of just an island or River or town or glacier name). Also, I Google some of the things you see such as the Arbutus trees. That evergreen tree is found from Mexico to Vancouver. The largest one in the Vancouver area is 9-feet (274 cm) in diameter.
I enjoy the extra pleasure of doing that too, making the whole RAN experience feel interactive and expansive.
Great idea! Thanks for watching and following us along! Cheers!
So glad you got to see our wonderful coast on the off season. Wallace Island is a treasure. Love the mix of sailing and other activities in your videos. 👍👍
Once again your friends do what we do is because you both have become that important to all your fans. We look forward to many more videos and adventures to come. Go forth and be bold. Love & Peace from All to RAN
Thanks for following along! Cheers!
That new "Mustang" gear must help out with those cold nights on those travels there..pure class for Mustang guys to let you leave their factory with some sample gear.., can't think of better brand ambassadors for Sailing equipment and or Sailing and outdoor clothing. Kudos to Mustang !
I Love this Place, Wallace Island, so beautiful and quiet, few people! Your Blue Bowl and the OJ was so Swedish!
Love the new foul weather gear !! 😊👍👌🤘⛵️⚓️✨🥂✨
Very beautiful video of our cruising grounds! You are showing the world how amazing the Gulf Islands of British Columbia really are. Thank you!
We love it here! :-)
Awesome.
enjoy you two so very much, stay safe.
Wallace is one of my favourite's! Guess you missed the shack with all the signs, just up from the power boats! Chopper nine has never came to film me going there!
Wondered about that too. They had to have walked right past it. Kinda surprised they didn't show it. Last time I was there- about 3 years ago- it looked like someone had come in and kinda cleaned it up. There weren't as many signs. Is it still there??
I hope in your next videos you get to some of my other favourite spots like Montague Harbour on Galiano , Winter Cove on Saturna or Port Browning on Pender. Montague is best in a storm, Port Browning had good access to a store for re-provisioning but Winter Cove is my favourite as it is so quiet.
Fantastic you two are all round favourites with the TV news team. If your planning on getting a helicopter you’ll need to redesign the yacht...maybe a special yacht trailer built for a helipad 😂⛵️
Lovely job, guys. Award-winning videos, every one ... this one, pure gold! 🥇 ⛵️🎉
I just cannot believe how peaceful and beautiful your videos are, you guys do such a great job ❤.
Each episode seems to be getting better. Such a beautiful Vlog. Well done.
Nice
Another excellent video, I especially liked the drone footage of the anchorage with the bald eagle in the tree. Great Job.
You look very nice with your new clothes!
No way! Wallace Island. My all time favourite.
Is it me? Your videos seem to get better and better! Thank you for sharing.
Itçs amazing that you got hit at anchor. What's wrong with people? Weird. Awesome helicopter video 138 and now this sailing yeaaah.
Thank you. MALIN ALWAYS POSITIVE. SUCH GIFT.
Kick ass video.
well done guys, enjoy my country, it is beautiful
It sure is! Thanks for watching!
Your channel is simply the best! Such amazing footage, and on l y the two of your filming, editing . . . 👍
That's so nice to hear, thank you!
Thank you guys! You’re in my favorite part of the world and close to where I was born and grew up. Means so much to see this. Stay safe!
What a dream sail and what awesome anchorage’s
Very cool the Chopper 9 visit.
You're just the best at doing great videos brilliant stories and all around good fun for all of us. Thank you for sharing your life.👫🐋⛵🦅😀😁
You guys make such great videos! Thank you so much for sharing. I understand it is quite a bit of work editing and putting the videos together, so thank you again.
Glad you appreciate them! :)
I look forward to these every week . My mother is very old and has been to a lot of places you go. She has watched up tell you leave Hawaii but wont skip ahead in episodes for fear she will miss something
Say hello from us! Cheers!
Another lovely video
LOVE the story you guys are writing with your camera
Thanks for share.
We certainly look forward to another wonderful video from RAN. They are so informative and a pleasure to watch. Thank You.
What a pleasant way to start my Saturday...
The grass is always greener on the other side lol thanks guys 👍👍
Haha! Yes...
Beautiful.... Bald Eagle perched on the top of a pine at 14:17!
I love the time pod idea. Well done ..
Another wonderful video, Thank You!
The trees you were looking at are Arbutus and specifically Pacific Madrone. They are known for being quite hard and never growing straight. Another wonderful video. ; )>
Another fascinating episode - hope you are keeping a journal of these adventures as well- you could write a really terrific book! Safe journey...
Superb video. It only makes my heart soar seeing the Maple Leaf flying so proudly from RAN's rig. This Canadian who sails from and lives out of Singapore longs for my Motherland. Thank you for sharing your beautiful passage.
Thanks guys great video again. My Friday night (i'm in South Africa) gift!
Thanks for watching! :-)
The helicopter footage was cool !
So happy you both got to sail in my back yard. Love your channel and I have learned about so many places. Thank you for taking us along.
It all happens here and is eminently watchable.👍
Nice new jackets!
They are so nice! :)
So happy to see you sailing again!
Great filming! And the Copter was very cool!
Johan, your narrative voice is really improving. Thnx for all your vids m8’s!
Malin has had me improve :)
Johan, I would say Malin made a good influence, but you did the job. 👍🏽
Såå häftigt med helikoptern😃🚁⛵️Superb episode as allways....
Hello! I’ve finally caught up with your most current post and I don’t like it. I don’t like being current that is - I’m used to watching 2-3 every morning now it’s just one episode a week. I’ve enjoyed all of your posts so thank you for for putting in the extra effort to share your journey with us. I think you’re both amazing people, safe travels and god bless!
Thanks for watching Tim! :-)
Nice, you’re the best!!
Thanks again for such a great video. Your journey has allowed you to meet so many new friends. I am so glad you have stayed true to your adventure and not gotten camera crazy. 😀
I took my ASA certification in the San Juan Islands. Cant wait to go back and thankyou for showing this beautiful area to the world.
Thank you for sharing your cruise through the Gulf Islands. We have so many wonderful memories of sailing there in the 90s, when the kids were young. Take care and stay warm, looks like you're in for a bit of snow this weekend.
5 inches on deck this morning! :-) Thanks for watching!
@4:00 Spanish bank is several feet above low tide. When exposed the water is quite warm and you can walk out for 1 kilometer into the bay. Tiny fish bury themselves into the sand and seagulls sweep the area looking for the fish. July- September is the best time to go.
Having visited the Island for thirty year's ,I have to find that Diary to make some connection with YOU GUY's!!!!!!!!!!
Sehr schön 🚁 ⚓️
Oh my, S/V RAN. There was soooo much in this amazingly wonderful vlog that I have forgotten the points I wanted to share with you at the first 10-min.
-
Loved the serenity that you both share and the local is soooo beautiful and somewhat desolate and significant at the same time. Happy you were able to set sail at the end of this episode as RAn looks soooo beautiful underway.
.
I remember !! One of the comments I wanted to make early on was how lovely RAN looked while under power (I know, I know) when viewed from the helicopter. :-)
😊👍👌🤘⛵️⚓️✨🥂✨
Thanks for watching and for your kind words Richard! Hope you have a great weekend! Cheers! /Johan
That new Mustang gear looks great on you two. Thanks for taking us on a nice ride to Wallace Island. ( One of my favs to visit when Im cruising). Looking forward to where the winds take you next.
I love the new foul weather suits. They should serve you well. You guys are so amazing. As usual I am in awe of your adventures.
We love the Mustang gear! Thanks for watching!
Great video.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵
i am so happy that my former employer CTV which i retired from has shown you a great time while there in vancouver go job MURRY
GOOD JOB MURRY
Here in Oregon the arbutus tree is more commonly known as "Pacific Madrone" (Arbutus menzeisii). It's very common where I live, and is considered a nuisance, or "weed" tree by loggers.
fiziwig It makes excellent firewood when dry.
In the San Juan Islands we just call it "Madrona". It's both common, but also a bit of a novelty. Because they're rampant throughout the Islands themselves, but almost unseen on the mainland side just a handful of miles away. Literally almost the only exception, is specifically the Chuckanut Drive area right on the water South of Bellingham, around the Whatcom/Skagit County line.
There's a distillery in the San Juan's that makes a Madrone Brandy that is quite good. One of my favorite trees as it always reminds me of home.
@@boatrat Did you guys get the disease a few years ago that was killing off a huge number of the Arbutus/Madrone. I'm about half way up Vancouver Island and where I am we are down to about 1/3.
Superb footage guys . Thanks for sharing your sailing life with us all :-D
