Chain Issues & Sailing Antarctica Mini Series Pt. 2 - Ep. 24 RAN Sailing

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- The preparations for the Atlantic crossing are on-going i San Sebastián, La Gomera and we make a DIY anchor chain box and Q-flag. The boat neighbors give us a piece of the 95 kg Tuna they caught and we make sushi on board. In the Antarctica Sailing Mini Series Pt. 2 Johan sail to the Antarctic Peninsula and meet a lot of animals on the islands, rough weather and navigates between icebergs!
We are a Swedish couple who wanted a different kind of life. So we moved in to our sailboat RAN, a one-off aluminium built Beason 40, and untied the lines in the middle of the Swedish winter and started sailing south along the coast of Europe. There is no set route and we will go where the wind and our minds takes us.
Read more about us and the boat and get updates and photos!

Love,
Malin & Johan
One of your finest!! You guys are just the *best*. Malin - your sangfroid when faced with the wasabi ....! And as for the "ferry to Hades" ..... as you say, Johan, echoes of Shackleton's epic voyage. Hats off to you guys, thanks for making some of the most inspiring sailing videos available online anywhere. Roy
Such nice feedback! Thank you so much :)
Oh man, there's so much I love about this video. Watching you guys problem solving the chain, laundry machine, the flag; Johan spiking Malin's sushi (ha!); and that epic trip to Antarctica! I like the camerawork in previous videos of the Canaries but this is awesome storytelling you guys! :-)
Wow.. Actually, I was enthralled with the Antartic footage! I really love and really respect voyages like that. Great work by you and your mates!
"Preparations for death sailing! " While I think I heard Fade to Black in the background @ abut 20:15. Epic.
Haha yes, Metallica was a great companion down there! :-)
I'm enjoying this series immensely. Thanks for your efforts in allowing us to tag along.
A couple of guys that could have sailed to where the bikini beaches are instead do something comparable to climbing a mountain. Incredible. What an adventure. Did you see the UFO's that are based in the Antarctic?
I wished we would have seen some UFO's but we didn't ;-)
Trully amazing Antartic trip. That takes some guts. Hats off to you both.
Thanks Timothy!
A pretty amazing video. How long did it take to travel from Elephant Island to South Georgia ? Your yacht looks so small and vulnerable in such a vast and inhospitable region. Did you ever feel that you had bitten off more than you could chew? Looking forward to the next video. Take care.
Thank you! It took us a bit more than 7 days. The feeling of vulnerability was ever present especially because of the GRP hull :-) Cheers /Johan
The Antarctic footage is amazing. Krille's monologue is dramatic. I will say you two are very tough guys to make that voyage! Do you find such challenges sailing RAN? (That tuna looked really good.)Take care and happy sailing. Craig from South Carolina
Thank you! It's hard to compare that trip from the current one since the weather conditions are so different :) But it was pretty tough sailing in the winter from Sweden. Cheers!
My preferred moment was with a sewing machine. I know how it is practical and useful to have a sewing machine on a boat. Things can be fixed or made right away :) Happy sailing!
Awesome, noticed there was another boat with you in whalers bay, did you meet them, were they coming or going, were you surprised to find another boat there? Fair winds,,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,sail on.
Where is the “I love this” button!! I liked your Alaska stuff so much I decided to watch the whole series, and lo and behold I found the Antarctica vids!!! I was secretly wishing there was TH-cam from back then and then here it is! .... Now when I go back and watch my old favorite sailing channels, I get bored!
3rd time to watch the Antarctic mini-series. Had to revisit after the Endurance discovery. Love the whole Ran series… but this Antarctic piece is truly amazing!
Another fantastic video guys. The Antarctica adventure is amazing. Glad you made it out of there like Shackleton and his crew. Another fantastic story of survival.
A rare sighting of Vikings in their natural habitat, cold and listening to Metallica. Feels great to rewatch this series, very inspiring
Another excellent video!!!! Quite an adventure in the Antarctic! I think that I prefer tropical sailing!!!
Another awesome video. Thank you so much for including the Antarctic passage. Love how the video ended. Freezing insanity fog at night to bright boat in warm weather tee shirts. Freezing fog and snow on the North Slope of Alaska right now. I want warm!!! Cool chain locker. Is the plan to replace with aluminum when you are somewhere suitable? Thanks again!
Thanks! Sounds cold up there in Alaska! Is the summer already over? I think we will keep the chain locker as it is, it turned out quite good. Cheers /Johan
The mini-series about the Antartica adventure is amazing! Great episode
Strong guy lifting that washing machine :D hahahaha
Tell me, how did you connect that chain locker to the hull of the boat? I would like to know. Just taking ideas for my new project
I used 4 long threaded bars, connected to a alu beam beneath the box. Good luck on the project!
This was the first clip I watched.Now I have watched them all.Amazing how sailing has been around so long.Even way before Jesus time.Just think if they had a Go Pro 4300 years ago and saw the flood in Noe's day.To see the first rainbow.That sure would have been cool.
Im binge watching your adventures and remembering some things from our trip. A good Friend of ours Eef Williems is a captain of a private adventure tour boat (SV Tooluka). she used to operate out of Usuaia and Porto Williams. In 2010 she and her husband decided to return to Holland and along the way, explore Greenland. During the trip, He was diagnosed with Cancer, died and was buried at sea in the Channel East of Nuuk, Greenland. The local Community held a vigil and "sang him out". She now gives private tours in the Arctic and NW passage. www.tooluka.nl/locatie.php?taal=UK&reis=2013_4
Ah yes. the smell of 1000 penguins crapping, throwing up (feeding) semi-digested fish/creel and sea lions.... :) They didnt say anything about that in the tour brochure.
first of all i'd like to send my thanks for both of you, indeed i really enjoyed every second of your uploaded vids. however i just can't express how excited i'd be before watching your future vids, please keep it up and show us how does the world look like on the other places.
Thanks again
Thank you so much Ammar!
Nice job on the construction of the chain locker and remounting the washing machine,
What a trip to the Antarctica, wild and crazy times. Great video, thanks for taken us along. Diego & Amparo.
Hi Guys, I love your on the fly engineering. it's fantastic. looked like way to much wasabe but it was a good laugh. I'm enjoying watching your adventures so much. keep safe. Tim
Johan. do youi still listen to Metallica?
Yes! 😁
Metallica... my kind of boat ;)
Antarctica in a 33ft sailboat... unbelievable... amazing footage! Johan, really enjoying your journey!
Carpenter's ruler and a sewing machine -- a winning combination!
Man that must have been a real growing experience....
It definitely was! Thanks for watching /Johan
And another Thumbs up. Great job Guys
Another great video - I know I am going to really enjoy it when the carpenters ruler comes out. Great solution for the extended chain locker - I think it is probably better in wood (did we miss the fibre glassing of the wood? ) than it would have been in AL. Oh and that washing machine - either you two are super heroes or that is not a full size domestic washing machine. Loved the South Atlantic/Antartic video and only have one question if you were running low on supplies prior to departure for South Georgia why did you not then go to the Falkland Islands rather than the much longer leg to Brazil?
Thanks Norman! The anchor box is glassed on the inside :-) The washing machine is only for 4 kg so we're not that strong :-) We didn't sail to the Falklands from South Georgia because it's against the prevailing winds and it would have been an even tougher sail. I would like to go there someday! Take care
Death by Wasabi... I've been there.
wait... what? you had a washing machine?
I can't imagine the hell. I hate cold.
Hi Guys, what ever made you want to go to the Antarctica what with all that lovely sun , sea , great anchoresses to go to , see girls at the bikini beaches oh sorry there were wearing there penguin suit, all that good time you had down there, loving these vlog, only sorry to here there is only one move to come.
We got our fair share of bikini girls during our six months in Brazil haha :-) There's plenty of footage left so maybe there will come a follow up in the future :-) Take care
Awesome!! You are absolutely born to do this. Now I know how really brave and capable your ancestors were. They would be proud of you. I can't even say that you must have been crazy because I think you knew exactly what you were doing. Amazing!
“I’m on the river to Hades !” 😂
I meant fiberglass boat
Well done...thank you for showing how living on a boat sometimes require creative work...that's a nice chain box and excellent idea to make it a stand also for the washing machine...great location for the washing machine too...I like Wasabi...but not that hot...hahaha...
hopefully Krille did not spend the rest of his life in a rest home...another enjoyable second video...be safe and thank you for sharing...
He's still going strong! :-)
So very very appropriate to listen to Metallica in Antartica! Ride the Lightning ! :-)
Thanks again, it is a great episode. I really enjoy watching Johan solving problems & working on the boat. You guys are very dignified.
holy shit !!! you tha man
like and comment
JOHAN ! that's pretty amazing adventure to say the least. How old were you when you made it?
It was a great adventure! I was 29 when we left Sweden. Cheers!
Great video guys.
Super thanks for sharing the Antartica experience.
Keep up the good work and have fun doing it.
Chears from Greece
Thank you!
Your buddy is hilarious.
How much wasabi did you put on them? ... Not much - I like the feeling when your brain is die-ing!.... lmao. Wow 3 boats anchored at Deception Island! oh my preparations for death sailing! What an epic sailing adventure! That head sail sure looks sketchy... Live from the river Styx... I'm on the ferry to hades.... So many great quotes on this amazing journey. Thank you so much for pulling this out of the archives and sharing it with us.
That's funny. Metallica in the Antarctic.
allways good
That was great!! Nice job on the sushi Johan. Crazy crazy time in Antarctica. You went places we didn't go even as a research ship. Funniest part is listening to Metallica in the background. Antarctica Metallica... very nice..
Has anyone seena supposed 10,000ft wall down there? That's what flat earth people think is there. Lol
The Antallica sound!!
chears
Haha :)
Thanks Jason! Must have been great to be there on a research ship. I like a lot of wasabi, Malin not so much ;-) It was good to listen to Metallica down there, to get the fighting spirit up :-)
Wow, that was a real adventure! Thanks for posting.
Amazing!
Brave men
Yet another awesome tube your sharing and you are slowly growing your viewers. Great.
I enjoyed the chain box and the Wasabi was hilarious although I did feel some pity for Malin.
Oh and by the way, Canary Islands is in Africa, not in Europe although being EU is not the same thing as Europe.
I wonder, where do you go next? Every been to Western Sahara? They got the best beaches I ever seen in Africa.
Enjoyed the polar part. Youse guys are just so funny.
Yes, you're right! We were thinking of it more in a cultural/poilitic way of the islands being in Europe. Next up is Cape Verde Islands! :) Cheers
Awesome Adventure Viking Guys!
Great.
Are permissions or permits of any kind needed to land on islands ?
In Antarctica yes. You need a permit before you sail there, which you apply for in your own country.
You guys were an intrepid pair! Tough guys! This was an amazing journey to Antarctica. Looking back, would you do it again, with the same boat? Did you have a watermaker? What was the worst weather you encountered down there?
Haha, thanks Donald! Looking back I'm not so sure I would do it again with that boat. She was a fine and seaworthy boat but the GRP hull is certainly not the most suitable material for those waters. Yes, we had a watermaker and it's more or less a must on a small boat down there. The worst weather was probably the storm after leaving South Georgia Island. We had 60 knots of wind during a whole night. But the worst experience was when we capsized outside Uruguay sailing south. That was the reason for getting the series drogue. Take care!
Great description of sailing in fog at night. It sucks even "in da day'
That was a great vid ya'll.
I loved that Malin almost died from Wasabi overdose and then went straight back for more! That's the spirit! That trip to Antarctica is just wild...I don't know whether you guys were crazy brave, crazy stupid or just plain crazy! But you made it back in one piece and what an experience!
Crazy as hell
I got scared with the gusty winds of the Puget sound..and want to go home..
Really Viking spirit 👍
That's what happens when you eat the bait.
Where are you going to anchor where you need 80 more meters of chain..? I got a message from Nike that her engine broke…wondering if you had heard anything..! She hasn't done a video in a while...! I love sushi too..! Was that a fiberglass notes that you took to the Antarctic…? Take care peace and love, Rob Florida USA
It will be necessary in some areas when anchoring with a 5-1 scope. Yes, it was a fiberglass hull :) Not the most suitable material for sailing down south. Take care!
I wonder if Malin would like to visit the Antarctic..? It does look beautiful...!
I would love to do that but don't know if I dare to do it by sailboat :) Maybe in the future, who knows :)
They say "Some like it hot" but maybe not that hot ;)
Haha exactly! :) /Malin
That was amazing! Well done.
Johan did a great job on the chain locker and new set-up for the washing machine without the benefit of a good workshop.
The sailing in the Antarctic is crazy. It gives you a real appreciation of the conditions that Shakelton and his men lived through and their great accomplishment of sailing to Georgia Island just as you are doing but in a much better equipped boat and you are feeling like you are somewhere near the Gates of Hell, the cool part before you get to the heat. You guys are brave, crazy men. Very impressive.
Is there anything that Johan can't fix? Maybe the Ozone Layer and peace in the middle East. Malin, watch out for that wasabi. It is nasty, as you now know. Love you guys.
Anothter epic show! :)
It is You guys (and some other stuff) thats keeps me from doing a kamikaze in the bathtub.
... I really hope you get lots of children! Cheers!
What is it about you Scandinavians that you go to the coldest waters on Earth?? You must have ice water in your veins, Johan. Yesterday we celebrated the 150th birthday of Canada. Our first European settlers apparently were Norsemen, living in what is now our province of Newfoundland. One of the most desolate barren areas of vegetation in the country. I am enjoying this mini-series. You two have gone where few would dare. Cheers.
Love the combined episodes! Dude, grow the hair like that again. Epic!
Another nice and inspiring episode. And wow, it looks like Johan had quite an adventure in Antarctica! It would be nice to experience how you prepared for all the risks you faced on that voyage.
thumbs up. always! I suppose it's good to make a wooden anchor box. because the chain and the aluminum would react right? also amazing footage of your expedition thanks for sharing it with us. This trip must be a breeze compared to that one.
Thanks! That's a good point and I think we'll keep it the way it is. It turned out okay! Take care and fair winds!
After that interview, I thought maybe I'd add Deception Island to my list of neat places to visit. After watching *this* video, it's definitely been added (I probably won't do it in a fiberglass vessel though).
I have read books about Shackelton and watched documentaries about what he and his men endured. I am always amazed at the will of Shackelton, his expert leadership and the overall expertise of his crew. But it is a testament to Shackelton's wise choices for the tight knit group he gathered for this expedition that in the face of their extreme hardships none of them gave up hope and succumbed. That fact, that Shackelton did not lose a man, more than any other, tells me Shackelton was a great man.
T%hombs up eh? Diggin the Antarctic series, real adventure. Good channell too.
Your anchor chain box looks like it came from Ikea. Swedish influence perhaps? Ha! :)
Haha we're Swedish after all! It's in the blood ;-)
You're Antarctica series rocks! I don't know how you took the cold.
We had a good heating system which kept us warm down below and that made a big difference :-)
Nice to watch travel video from an experienced sailor instead of the fumbling beginners all over youtube
Two guys sail to the Antarctic on purpose and then whine about the cold. That's funny. It's one of those, "I told you so" moments. Being from New Orleans, I get the shivers just watching the video. What an epic adventure.
I think the same way anything over 30 is high latitude sailing to be avoided. We wore foulies on the equator.
They are tough. No doubt about it.
Try to avoid the Llama wool Speedo, very uncomfortable. Haahaaa
wow! the Antarctic adventure is amazing! And without winter boots! :) I want to see more. My respect for you three. Funny sushi
If the wasabi doesn't cause panic, you haven't used enough.
Jag tycker ni ska göra ett avsnitt om bara relationer (ombord till skillnad från i land till exempel). Det vore väldigt spännande tycker jag.
Wasabi!
a w e s o m e
Förlåt,jag var dåligt påläst trodde ni skulle ta upp henne före överfarten.
Är det du Malin som redigerar videorna? De är fint gjorda och särskilt ljudet är bättre än i många av "era konkurrenters" videos.
So many great Swedish metal bands and yet you listing to Metallica :)
Another great episode.... I remember when I first went to a Japanese Restaurant for my birthday, I saw this big green thing and ate it whole thinking it was a piece of Avocado. GREAT MISTAKE !!!! that Wasabi nearly blew my head off. Loving the Antarctica adventure but certainly not a place high on my Cruising Bucket list, I'll have something a little more warmer and Tropical please !!
Oh no! Must have been a close to death experience haha :) I'm enjoying the warm climate now too :) /Johan
A WONDERFUL VIDEO in all ways
19:13 Heavy Metal in Antarctica, Awesome! Little disappointed It wasn't Nightwish or Sonata Arctica though.
Haha :-) It was good for the fighting spirit!
so bad ass so few ever get to be where these two have been it could be as low as .009% of the worlds population way to go men love it..
For sure, you need Metallica with you on a trip like this.
If you eat too strong wasabi. You can quell it with peanuts or peanut butter.
Never inhale while having wasabi in mouth... 🤣
Nice job all around. Like the chain locker laundry fix. The antarctic trip is just to cool the two of you doing it. Did you catch fish in the antarctic for food? I guess I can wait till next episode to hear how the food fuel situation worked out. Take care guys,
Thank you! Not much fishing in Antarctica and the food-fuel situation got a lot worse on the passage to Brazil. On that leg we did catch some Tuna and Dorado :)
That's what I call a hardcore adventure, much respect!
Amazing accomplishment 👍
