Malin, you are gracious and beautiful.... even if you sometimes feel a little upset. You're also a great Mom. The Captain knows what he's doing, when and how. We all feel very comfortable and protected in his crew. We all love the admiral when she looks a little poutful and serious when she's drawing at the table. You are all awesome. Malin, your videos, editing and music is wonderful. Blue skies. Cheers..!
As someone who has tried small kids on a sailboat I'm so impressed. We made it 6 months. But look back on the time and cherish it. The kids are just starting to get old enough now to make me think about starting to do it again. Family time in nice anchorages. Good luck.
You guys do such a great job capturing the sea state. It's not easy to do, and I love feeling the movement of the boat and the size of the waves when you sail. Awesome job.
At 3:40 you could see the joy in Johan's smile as he described the rough seas. Then he turned the camera on the rest of the crew, who had mutiny in their eyes! Haha, love you guys!
I'm so impressed with the cleanliness of the places you visit. I wish we could get people in the USA to care enough to keep things clean. Love watching you guys. Thank you so much for letting ab old guy dream of the way it could have been.
Vera did not look very happy with the motion, but looks like she eventually went to sleep and got over it and back to her coloring while mom sleeps. What a great baby.
You are brave, seasickness is one of the worst things in the world.The freedom of the seas though seems to outweigh everything else.Bon voyage to you and your family.God go with you allways.
Welcome to the Alderney Race where the world goes forwards and backwards twice a day what ever you do 😀. Those of us who live on and sail from the island have learned to live with and even love it. But with 9Knots of tide on springs we try very hard not to get it wrong. Next time you come past please do drop in and we will show you all our little island.
Impressive, however when the weather is so bad, we tend to stay home. But I understand the passion involved. Feeling lucky to live in the Mediterranean, I salute you. Cheers from Italy. 🙂
12:32 - I always said Vera was born into this life. Good for her! Sorry you guys got sick. I have never been seasick myself but I was on big naval ships.
Just amazing how well Vera is handling the sea motions... RAN II is a sturdy and well designed boat.. She seems to perform very well in "challenging" weather conditions..
I very much appreciate your mastery of English. Not being bilingual I envy your ability that way. And, of course, you expert seamanship. Sailing in Northern Europe seems similar to our experiences on our waters here in Northeast U.S.
That expression on Vera's face is priceless!! Is this is roughest sea's she's been in? She's not happy, but not scared. She is familiar with the boat and trusts her parents.
Awesome sailing in confused seas!! (BTW, a knot is a nautical unit of speed so you just have to say “13 knots” vis-a-vis “13 knots of speed.”). Enjoy your passage and fair winds!
Vera was definitely born to sail. Outshining both mum and dad during rough patches. Comforting to know she is ok. Again a well constructed visual storyline with melodic voiceovers. Inviting. See you next time.
Looks like you had a good sail despite a bumpy start and a calm spell. Not the easiest sailing area. I like the way you both just get on with it - not many couples do that especially with a baby. A large well found boat helps. 🙂. Happy sailing.
Sometimes Spinnaker/Gennaker sock continuous lines become twisted inside their sleeve which can cause jamming, every now and then it's a good idea to lay the full sock out straight on the dock or somewhere flat and un-twist the lines in the sleeve if necessary.
A confession: I did some extremely difficult and frustrating home repair work yesterday in very cramped quarters - similar to what Johan must do regularly in the engine compartment on the boat. I ended the day in a frustrated crabby mood. Johan: you're a better man than me. I realised when I later watched yesterday's video that it takes a special couple to go sailing. My missus is just as sweet-tempered as Malin, but she wouldn't tolerate me long on a sailboat.
What a special sailing couple you are , full of admiration for you guys , great sailor the skipper is , and of course your beautiful little angel brings a smile to my face each time that I see her . Bravo and enjoy my mother land ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The rocking of the boat and the moon peeking out from behind the clouds on an otherwise dark and breezy night brings back such fond memories of my time spent working on production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. The calm that always seemed to arrive just as the Sun breached the horizon was always a time of reflection of almost biblical proportion. It was spiritual to say the least. There's lots of seafaring songs that come to mind that would have been a perfect accompaniment to your excellent camera work today! Thank the Lord for Vera being such a great sailor girl. It breaks my heart to see Malin suffer with sea sickness, but it would be ten times worse to see Vera going through it!
Great video. Even with all your incredible experience in rough water you are still cautious enough to get a life jacket on Vera. That's the great parenting coming out in both of you.
another well done adventure that has it all, thank you!, uh oh ~ 17:19 wasn't sure this was going to be munckin's favorite voyage, but happily nothing a nice beach walk and a fun blue drink can't make right!!
I remember being stricken with sea sickness on many sailing passages, not fun! But all is good when you reach your destination. Great video as always. What a super team you make. Many thanks love from France!
Thank you for sharing, 13+ knots is like light speed on a heavy monohull. Watching how Vera handles sailing is very important to my family because we want to sail and we have a daughter who will turn 6 next week. We are still a year or two out from our dream of sailing happening. We are grateful for being able to experience some of the cruising life through your videos.
The details of the day you both calmly report for your viewers makes my Friday! Cannot wait for Vera to add her details! Thanks for another educational field trip.🤠
Wow, that was rough out of the harbour. Gorgeous sunset, nice to see it calm down, great shot of the moonlight through the clouds. Sorry to hear you're seasick. What a lovely aerial shot of the quay. The water looks better and the weather seems a bit brighter. Great vlog, thanks. :-)
😮 , I was beginning to feel a bit seasick there! Your destination was sure worth the bit of rough weather. It’s beautiful and I love how you show the drone perspective. It’s so nice to get a feel for where you are. 😊
She’s sailing beautifully and looks like she is in her element. Wishing high sprits for the crew, fair winds and hope the orca’s leave you all alone. Keep up the great work!
Malin - I really liked your concluding thought about arriving in a distant port. It is sooo true. I also really like hearing all Johan's thoughts on strategies considering weather, current, time, etc. Thank You! Ron
Hi guys, I so love sailing along with you. I grew up on the US great lakes. My dad, brother, and I liked the rough water, but Mom not so much. We keep you in our thoughts and prayers, Gloria 🐂
In your opening segment, the boat and the waves reminded me of an old "Tweety Bird and Sylvester cartoon....... 'the boat wocked and wocked, up and down. (Tweety pronounced his "r's" like "w" 's.
Johan, look a the girls faces, they tell you everything. You should stay in picturesque Sweden. Caribbean will deliver the same constant adventure with warmer temperature. You know that.. Lots of Love. Capt. Jack
Hello Johanson, Molly and Vera! 😊❤️ If you see whales on Portugal's Atlantic coast, turn off the boat's engine because they hit under the boat and could damage the boat. They are not attacking, they are just attracted by the noise of the engine.
Now, its more of a southerly course... warmer weather for you all. Vera will have several months of 'summer' to grow up in tropical weather. Fresh fruits from the trees...
Great show. We have our gennaker for our 50' boat on a Selden GX top down furler. Works well. Easy to put up and control. Also the GX allows the tack to be easily raised and lowered to help shape it. Only disadvantage of the Selden GX series is you can only have one sail on it. Since it is top down you just keep rolling it up on the continuous furler. My Facnor top down furler allows me to just buy another torsion rope and shackle to switch sails. But the Facnor is for my cutter sails only so they are much smaller. Lesson learner though, never leave a top down furler with the sail furled on it rigged up when you leave the boat. Even if you have the furler locked, the nature of the furling allows the sail to be blown out and become a nightmare in heavy wind. I have had to rescue some here at the dock on other boats when they left their spinnaker rigged up. No fun to try to get one down at the dock in 30 knots of wind. Love watching you guys. We are here in Ensenada. The Ran 1 was here at the marina for a while but they moved it north some time ago now.
Really enjoyed that. The French coast has some great places to visit. It reminded me of sailing across the channel to Cherbourg years ago, in Provident, a 1924 Brixham Trawler. That was fun in choppy seas! Looking forward to your next video.
Xlnt episode Johan. I feel like I'm right there with you and Malin and the star Vera. Coming out of the Harbor seemed a little scary, even the look on Malins face sitting down, but I knew you'd pull Ran out of it. Always looking forward to the next video.
I’m not one for giving advice (and maybe you have done this already) but the thumbnail for this video made me think that an 8 hour or longer video of just a camera hanging off of the boat filming sailing with all natural sound. I would watch that over and over and over again while at work. I could live vicariously through that video at my stressful 8 hour work day.
I am interested to know if you use the alarm on the furuno radar for boats nearby when sailing. I am considering the same radar and do a lot of solo sailing. It would be good to have some warning of smaller boats that don’t have AIS.
Malin, you are gracious and beautiful.... even if you sometimes feel a little upset. You're also a great Mom. The Captain knows what he's doing, when and how.

I don't smile a lot these days, watching your vid I found myself doing just that - I thank you.
Thanks!

Beautiful Boat - Beautiful Family- Beautiful Experience
Camaret Sur Mar looked beautiful as you arrived at night. Excellent camera work.
16:34

Go RAN !!! Thank You!

Lovely episode. I think Vera was feeling the waves at 3:45! She's obviously a proper AB! Looking forward to next episode. Thank you!
12:32 - I always said Vera was born into this life. Good for her! Sorry you guys got sick. I have never been seasick myself but I was on big naval ships.
Another enjoyable episode. Sorry Malin you get sick, but then you carry on. Loved the look from Vera. Life is good.
I was so very pleased to see baby in a fitted PFD. Congratulations.
Just amazing how well Vera is handling the sea motions... RAN II is a sturdy and well designed boat.. She seems to perform very well in "challenging" weather conditions..
... loved the scene where Mom stayed horizontal and little Vera sitting straight up coloring with an outstanding smile....what a little sailor.
Alderney Race on favourable springs with the wind up your chuff, should be on the bucket list for any sailor. It’s like going at warp speed 😀
I very much appreciate your mastery of English. Not being bilingual I envy your ability that way. And, of course, you expert seamanship. Sailing in Northern Europe seems similar to our experiences on our waters here in Northeast U.S.
That expression on Vera's face is priceless!! Is this is roughest sea's she's been in? She's not happy, but not scared. She is familiar with the boat and trusts her parents.
Yes, this sail had it all, and even Vera was wondering a bit at first, but all was Good!!! Safe travels.
Thank you for taking me places I know will never go.
cute navigator at 7:47
So glad Vera was OK with the sea sickness, sure is plenty tide on the Ebb when the Channel empties out into the Atlantic.
love your videos. Thanks for making them.
Your channel has the best music of any I follow. Thanks!
Awesome sailing in confused seas!!

Always love the actual sailing episode's! Thanks for the information and keeping it real!

What a nice experience on real sailing.;; Congratulation to three of you, specially to the little boy...God bless..

Interesting to hear about the strong currents and tidal effects
Wonderful harmonious family. Just so wounderful to watch.
Thankyou👍
Congrats on your continued success "going with the flow".
Great video. Even with all your incredible experience in rough water you are still cautious enough to get a life jacket on Vera. That's the great parenting coming out in both of you.
The footage was stunning especially in the beginning during the rough seas. I could "feel" the motion even through the screen. Amazing. Thank you.
C'est un plaisir de vous voir naviguer en France
My thought as you left the harbour ... Wheeeee!
another well done adventure that has it all, thank you!, uh oh ~ 17:19 wasn't sure this was going to be munckin's favorite voyage, but happily nothing a nice beach walk and a fun blue drink can't make right!!

Hi mate watching from Australia, glad to see ur finally out there after so much prep and work on the boat . Know it all to well😀
just checked where you are on Marine Traffic ( Friday 2100H UK ) glad you made it across Biscay in good time, great vlog as always, stay safe 😘

Such a brave little Shield Maiden.
3:49 The poor kid does not want to be there and i don't blame him lol
Loved the sail. I can't wait to get out on the water. Thank You
She’s sailing beautifully and looks like she is in her element. Wishing high sprits for the crew, fair winds and hope the orca’s leave you all alone. Keep up the great work!
Ran looked very happy in those waves 💪⛵️
New follower, your narrative is interesting and so informative, as well as the maps
Thank you for showing all the cool places along the way ❤️👍🏼
Tough sail....but no danger with the TH-cam Viking at the helm! ⛵👍
thank you, I love your videos, keep them coming pleas.

My favorite sailing family always great travel logs ..Ran II what a great boat.
Bad weather makes you modest in front of the fierce of nature, especially more at sea.
Just what I needed to calm down with after a stressful meeting at work. :-)

You aw wight. That's the way I wemembeh it too!
@@passinthru4328 LOL !!
Great episode, the rewards outweigh the tough sail. Vera is a good sailor!
Even Vera looked a little unhappy while in the rough water.
It feels good to be back at sea sailing and exploring with you!
Johan, look a the girls faces, they tell you everything. You should stay in picturesque Sweden. Caribbean will deliver the same constant adventure with warmer temperature. You know that..

Hello Johanson, Molly and Vera! 😊❤️ If you see whales on Portugal's Atlantic coast, turn off the boat's engine because they hit under the boat and could damage the boat. They are not attacking, they are just attracted by the noise of the engine.
So interesting, one really feels like being on board drawing some pictures with Vera at the table. 🙏
Well that seems a blessing little sotnos does not get seasick...
For seasickness, you might want to consider something like a Reliefband or EmeTerm.
Looked rough on the way out, a long leg for sure, being sick is the worst, interesting sail and destination though. Look forward to seeing more of it.
That was pretty epic.😀👍⛵️
Always enjoyable to watch --- thanks
Pretty tough! Enjoy Camarinas and the upcoming capes.
At 3:51 Vera looked like she wasn't sure things were all as they should be. I guess these were the roughest conditions she has yet experienced?
Yes, it was. But she handled it well… 😊
I must disagree. Wera gave the "WTF dad! I am going to get even with You some day." look to dad. 🤣
@@RANSailing I agree. She looked determined not to let on she was uneasy. Brave soul!
I think she looked looked 😡 pissed off.
@@frankd2301 you obviously don't know how to read women's eyes. 😜
thank you !!

Happy to see You sailing long distancies again !!! Regards

now that norway opened up you could sail up the coast of Norway. Going to rostok and the other hansatic league cities would be cool .
