What a fantastic place,you guys are on a vacation every day that most people may get to see once in thier lives. You have a fantastic life and the memories you are making will put forth many great memories when you can no longer travel like you are when you are young. Happy travels
I loved your exploration of The Baths. No one has ever shot a video as visually stunning and serene as you have... that I've seen anyway. Well done and thank you.
I've just come back to watch this episode because I remembered how stunning it was! And I forgot about Shabby! And you guys look so young and tan, ha. Bet you cant wait to get back to the tropics with Vera!
What a ray of sunshine you guys are !! Malin. I know everyone says your smile brightens up the day and so it is, yet Johan, though a bit more serious (a fabulous captain), still brings a lot to the table. It takes you both to make this such an amazing channel !!! 😊👍👌⛵️ ⚓️ ⛵️ ⚓️
I have to agree with several of the comments, watching your videos does make ones day a little better. Thanks again you two. Everyone reading this - if you haven't already please click the thumbs up button and watch the entire commercial before the video. It really helps these two out
Hey guys. Another great video. We love living vicariously through your Caribbean adventure. Looking forward to hearing your interview with Andy and Mia. Great Podcast. Always good stuff. Your batteries might be at the end of their life. 3 years is not too bad for the number of cycles and partial discharges of the cruisers life. Please make a small video of your battery swap when you get to that point. I am a boat geek and love to watch boat repairs in exotic locations. You might try to equalize (condition) the batteries once to see if they bounce back a little but you will need to be on shore power for a few days to get that done. Good luck in your travels. Your videos always make our week. Thanks
Hi guys! Just wanted to tell you that I watched all of your videos in less than two weeks, and they are really something special. You are so easy going, relaxed and interesting. Videos are great, but honestly you are the reason I started watching. Two people who refuse to live lives like most of us do and to top that is that you are sailing! Probably the best way to live ( in my opinion ). Sailing makes you look at life a little different. It really is inspiring to see you enjoy your lives the way you do! So best wishes and good winds from Zagreb,Croatia!
nice job on your video showing the Baths. Best I have seen so far. you 2 are so calm, it's always a pleasure to watch. thanks for sharing and best from HKG
Excellent video, unique shots of a very frequently videod piece of ground, RAN is the best sailing channel in large part due to the footage, and editing. Beautiful boat, beautiful crew.
Well, for this voyage, I'm right there with you, because I have chartered a ship in BVI 4-5 times, the last one being a 51-foot monohull. Beautiful ship, fast, four staterooms. We had six guys, four of whom were very good sailors, me included, for the first 10 days. Then our wives flew in to join us for the second 10-day segment. A great trip....
Love the videos! So refreshing to see good clean fun and two people enjoying each other’s company / presence. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Another brilliant video with wonderful drone shots and other good camera work. I am watching this on a 2017 55 inch Samsung TV and the image quality of your work is fantastic - I cannot see how 4K would improve the viewer experience significantly. Keep up the good work.👍⛵️
You guys are becoming my favorite channel on youtube ,that saying a lot because I enjoy watching all these sailing videos. I have many favs but you are moving to the top! Thanks again keep having FUN....
I have a couple of questions. (1) Have you guys ever thought about getting a spray bottle that would hold about a pint of bleach and spray the bottom of your RIB when it's out of the water to get rid of the junk that's growing there? It would only take about a half pint. We used to run 6 or 8 hundred crab pots a day and the moss would build up until the buoys wouldn't float anymore as the months went by. We'd dip the buoy in a 5 gallon stainless milk container, set it on a ramp that drained the excess bleach back into the container and throw it back in when the next pot came up. The next morning, when we ran the gear again, the buoys would be moss free. (2)Have you heard about Carbon Foam Batteries? You can discharge them 80% to 100% and it does no damage to them. You get half again more out of your batteries than normal lead acid batteries, plus they recharge faster. They are a "little expensive" though.(:>) www.pacificnwboater.com/channels/marine-product-demos-installations/programs/firefly-oasis-carbon-foam-battery
Malin, you are always so sweet in these videos, and I love how Johan is always so calm and happy no matter what is going on. Also, thank you very much for making these in English so I can enjoy them.
No matter where you go or how many times someone else has made a video of a place - you always make it interesting with better shots (the drone footage has been great), better commentary, video, music, editing, and off the beaten path side trips. Just a pleasure to watch these - even if I'm 4 months late. Cheers, guys. Safe travels.
i was at yost van dyke last april while on a cruise ship, you are so lucky to have been there for a longer time. they were out of the ice cream but those painkillers at soggy dollar bar where so good. enjoying your videos so much
Your video is beautiful. You have a great imagination. The boulders and rocks do look like big fish. Your photography is wonderful. Thank You very much.
We were just there a few weeks ago sailing and your drone footage of the Bath's has added to our experience. What a different perspective. Absolutely beautiful.
Poor Shabby..... You guys are by far my favorite channel and I love all your videos and following your story. This was just Epic!!! I loved it. So cool. Thank you.
Wow! This is spectacular! So freaking beautiful. The drone footage captures it all so incredibly. Oh how I wish I was there. Thanks for the awesome video as always!
This was a great video! It looks so beautiful there. I have seen videos of the Baths, but Ron Gamache is right this was the best, and I do follow a lot of people sailing. I hope some day I get to go see all these beautiful places aswell and get it all on camera,and drone.
Try to not let the batteries go below 50% before fully charging them (or keep them up full via adding more solar etc) and always do battery maintenance to the max. Always monitor battery usage and turn off ALL unused electrical equipment like things you leave plugged in, unplug or turn off via a switch or remote switch... Last case, turn on engine to rapid charge. And of course, read the manual for everything, the autopilot can be put into power saver mode ie: less sensitive = less use = less power. Oh the other hand, it is always good to practice hand steering and give the autopilot a break. Nothing from the solar panel? LOL, try turning it / them up towards the sky / sun. Again, test with an volt/amp meter to see what works best. I mounted ours on the deck, always facing up. They kept 800 amp hrs of batteries up for 2 week runs over and over with everything running and no problems. We had a lot of electronics too.
Hey guys as usual another great video. Yawl always seem to brighten things up. I hope that your batteries don't cause to many problems . So I'm guessing you don't want to buy a few gallons of that ice-cream??? they must think a lot about it ha ha. Really do like your videos, thanks for sharing. Safe and happy sailing.
As always Lovely video. My dog just had to wait for hes morning walk. Course "husse" absolutely had to se your video first. 😁 but now were of... And then its of to the railway for some work. Looking forward to se the old "Danske vestindiske øer" (US Virgin islands) 🙂 Lots of railway love from the train man. 💞 In my mind I'm right there beside you guys. 👍 Lagom vidar!
you're now the only sailing channel I watch.. good stuff.. no gratuitous boob shots. Sailing Doodles "jumped the shark" and I lost all interest. You guys do these videos nicely .. not too much talking , superb video from aerial footage, good music, etc. Although I'm not a Patreon supporter, I do "like" your channel.
You said that your auto pilot wouldn't work due to low batteries. I see you have a wind vane on the stern there. Does it not work? Maybe you could do a portion of a video on the systems of your boat and how they work? Thanks for the great videos!
Without a doubt the best vidios on the internet
One of the best footages of the baths that I've seen.
I've seen a lot of videos on the Baths but this one was the best. You guys showed more then all the others. Great job and thanks
What a fantastic place,you guys are on a vacation every day that most people may get to see once in thier lives. You have a fantastic life and the memories you are making will put forth many great memories when you can no longer travel like you are when you are young. Happy travels
Enjoy all that you can while you are young, Don't pass anything up! There is a lot out there for you to enjoy! Soak it all in!
I always love the diving shots, like the 8:50. Ones
Just what I needed ..... a spot of sunshine & smiles, great work you two.
for me the boulder beach was the best place you too have been . great vid guys
incredibly a beautiful place . Nice guys , enjoy the beautiful creation by nature or God if you believe ⛵️
I loved your exploration of The Baths. No one has ever shot a video as visually stunning and serene as you have... that I've seen anyway. Well done and thank you.
I've just come back to watch this episode because I remembered how stunning it was! And I forgot about Shabby! And you guys look so young and tan, ha. Bet you cant wait to get back to the tropics with Vera!
this place looks like a pristine paradise
What a ray of sunshine you guys are !! Malin. I know everyone says your smile brightens up the day and so it is, yet Johan, though a bit more serious (a fabulous captain), still brings a lot to the table. It takes you both to make this such an amazing channel !!! 😊👍👌⛵️ ⚓️ ⛵️ ⚓️
Just stumbled onto your videos. Gonna have to binge on em all. Great stuff. Thanks
I have to agree with several of the comments, watching your videos does make ones day a little better. Thanks again you two. Everyone reading this - if you haven't already please click the thumbs up button and watch the entire commercial before the video. It really helps these two out
Contributing $1 per video or even per month helps out even more than watching a commercial... IMHO, of course.
I Love Ran! Great Video!

Wow, thanks a lot John! That's some really nice words! :-) Thanks for watching and your feedback! Cheers!
That brought back memories of a trip taken over 25 years ago on the S/V Flying Cloud belonging to "Barefoot Cruises". A most amazing week.

RAN. The music editing is perfect accent for the pictures and story. Well done. Canada

Such a coincidence! I was just looking at some video I took in the very same cave on Norman Island a few years ago👍😀

Love the fishes
Hey guys as usual another great video. Yawl always seem to brighten things up. I hope that your
batteries don't cause to many problems . So I'm guessing you don't want to buy a few gallons of
that ice-cream??? they must think a lot about it ha ha. Really do like your videos, thanks for sharing. Safe and happy sailing.
thanks for sharing hope the ice cream was good. my hard drive is crashing new laptop here in a few days
Liked this episode Xtra.
Very nice editing!
Good work 💻
I life here!!!
excellent video and great couple. shabby decided to grow a beard. thank you for taking us along!
beautiful Episode and awesome drone shots ;)
Great video and beautiful water in "The Baths". Thanks. I wonder how all the rocks formed the tunnels, a volcanic explosion ??
Wow yr vids just keep getting better. The music you match to the vids is perfect 👌 and come on tell us how much did u pay for the ice cream 🍦
Really enjoyed! Great camera work, almost felt like I was there. Cheers.
As always Lovely video. My dog just had to wait for hes morning walk. Course "husse" absolutely had to se your video first. 😁 but now were of... And then its of to the railway for some work.
Looking forward to se the old "Danske vestindiske øer" (US Virgin islands) 🙂
Lots of railway love from the train man. 💞 In my mind I'm right there beside you guys.
👍 Lagom vidar!
Fred Flintstone and Wilma go to the beach. ha! :)
love it! ni e bäst hälsningar från Malmö!
you're now the only sailing channel I watch.. good stuff.. no gratuitous boob shots. Sailing Doodles "jumped the shark" and I lost all interest.

+dsonyay Thank you so much! 😀
Listening to the podcast now! www.59-north.com/onthewindpodcast/ran-sailing?rq=johan
Lovely, lovely again...
By the way could you put a link up to your friends channel, they did the pod cast with you.
Cheers
Thank you for sharing - excellet drone shots. Really liked those, but what could go wrong with such Beautiful scenary? Cheers from Falköping
If you guys don't go to Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost van Dyke I'm gonna be bummed...
You said that your auto pilot wouldn't work due to low batteries. I see you have a wind vane on the stern there. Does it not work? Maybe you could do a portion of a video on the systems of your boat and how they work? Thanks for the great videos!
Wow it feels like you could get totally lost in there!
Great drone and underwater shots. Can you tell me what cameras you are using?
Your panel is not even deployed!!
The paths are too small for Johan~!! 😂😂 i laughed so much when he got stuck between the rocks 1:34 XD
I think you need to test the output of each solar panel and check connections.
