A Nordhavn 78 For Birthday - Ep. 121 RAN Sailing

[@silentspoon6655]

"What is life without challenge?" a beautiful sentiment.

[@Andrea-qs3oq]

I love it when Malin makes Johan laugh and we see a crack in that stoic exterior, shows how special your relationship is.

[@glennh2965]

About the best add for Nordhavn ever. A 78ft solo!

[@davidnichols147]

Wow, sounds like Johan had an unusually supreme birthday! Happy Birthday and many more adventures for you both in the future.

[@parrottdave]

What a cool guy and a beautiful boat, Thanks RAN

[@mishaholt7568]

brave man from an Amel 54 to that huge 78ft and can handle it on his own , He s living the dream , realy interesting thank you.

[@samantha1054]

What are pleasant surprise. The Nordhaven is my favorite boat. Thank You guys. I am saving this episode .

[@ammoalamo6485]

Beautiful 78' Nordhavn - the perfect starter motor yacht for single handed operation, especially if your only experience is with some of the software suite, and knowing to wash the anchor chain. But what a beautiful and fearless couple, to sell their medium size sailboat in New Caledonia and make the jump to a fast battleship, determined to have zero crew loitering about their new mobile floating island. Hah, is my envy showing?

[@paulrise5284]

Just a superb video

[@gasworker3042]

Great video thanks for sharing Ammonite is a awesome trawler, I've watched some videos about her... it was great to see the owner and hear him talk about operating her!

[@deeannec2000]

What an interesting look at the "other side" and such a nice friend to explain it all!!!

[@fw1421]

You gotta be a little nuts to travel that kind of distance in a small sailboat like that. Definitely a brave couple!

[@manuelordonez7331]

Celebrating your birthday in the middle of nowhere with these two nice guys and receiving a dji googles as a present WOW!!

[@dillonjohnston4012]

Looks like you had a great birthday Johan, happy belated birthday!

[@highvibe4839]

How fabulous for you all to meet up like that & just talk boats & life at sea...⛵️🌍🇦🇺

[@guymanges3628]

80' Nordhavn Wow. $ Wow. Happy Johanday, on and on .

[@c00lhand2469]

Love those Nordhavn designs.. I stare at them every time I see one in the harbor :)

[@lcdemack]

Great episode. So nice to hear your friend talk about how it is to handle such a large Trawler. happy late B-day!

[@prmartin7259]

Excellent video. Beautiful drone shots. Great interview. No one does it better. ⛵🚤⚓⛅☔🌲🌲👫👫😁

[@gogs1468]

Ammonite!! I have watched many Nordhavn Videos of that boat I feel I almost know her, she is a beautiful boat. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheBluewheels]

These Alaska videos are so WOW!!! You are a wonderful down to earth couple

[@ericmilchak5101]

You make very nice videos glad I found your channel. Thank you for your effort and time.

[@davidclarke7728]

Beautiful area, and very interesting on the super yacht

[@pkane5472]

Great interview of the captain of the Nordhavn. Johan asked all the questions I wanted to know the answers to! Happy Birthday!

[@briancliffordsteele188]

Fun Video guy´s, i thought Marlin was going to jump in the bath tub, and Johann´s eyes could not leave all that tech. happy birthday Johann.

[@MrUnicornone]

Nordhavns are stunning ships...

[@brieneaton8578]

St.Catharines, Canada here. All your followers appreciate all the hard work you both do to produce the best YT movies on the internet. Belated welcome to Canada to Malin & Johan. And Happy Birthday Johan. Stay safe out there.

[@sassy6292]

Wow just wow

[@bryanagnew7551]

Your first time on a jetski! Awesome, I use one as my tender.

[@Rama_Guru]

Thank you and thank your friend for that information on his life. Amazing

[@unclemuir]

Your friend Kaj has one more toy. A beautiful M/Y and a brave soul to operate it without a crew.This is one of the best videos I have seen.

[@doncarson5887]

One of your best videos yet. Like to see about other sailors you run into on your trip.

[@Every_Day_Adventure]

Oh Man, I am a huge fan of the Nordhavns. Nice tech talk at the end

[@SVImpavidus]

Once again a different prospective. 👍 Sail Safe, Ant & Cid xx

[@tomaswest6541]

You will probably always remember this birthday. Great video.

[@nomaddon1008]

That's a beautiful boat!! I'm amazed that a crew of just 2 can operate her.

[@MikeSantis]

It is only possible cause everything is with buttons :-) More easy handling a boat like this than a 30 foot sailing boat where everything is manual.

[@kennyshepherd8311]

Happy Birthday, Johan! Thank you both for sharing!

[@madwldgrp1]

OMG, Johan and Malin I was as giddy as a new sailor watching you two and listening to Raj tell stories of the new cruiser and passage from Panama. Thank you again for bringing us along on your amazing adventure and friendships you've nurtured. 🤩💖

[@losvogtos1274]

Wonderful Episode! Your drone footage is just amazing and the visit with Kaj very interesting.

[@Dynaco77]

Riktigt bra film!

[@dgnytes]

I am really enjoying these Alaskan episodes !!!

[@lifeislikesailing]

Nice to see and learn more about the owner as I saw Ammonite a couple times at my marina this past summer. :)

[@radbcc]

HI Alfy. My two favorite sailing channels together....

[@lifeislikesailing]

So glad to hear that! :)

[@tomaswest6541]

Just watched your latest video Alfy. My two favourite channels also

[@lifeislikesailing]

So great! Hope you enjoyed the latest episodes on both channels! :)

[@arumrunner]

Kaj is a wonderful adventurer, I followed his blog years ago when he left Sweden on his Amel 54 "Amelit". It's pure destiny that you shared time together!

[@jackmcmahan4045]

Fantastic Voyage! Great episode. We're living a dream through you guys. Bravo

[@thelittledojo]

What an experience for you guys. Enjoyed this very much.

[@slamhead]

Nordhavens on the US West coast are outfitted here in my home port of Dana Point. I worked with a canvas maker and we did the new boats.

[@thegreatoceans4274]

Great interview and some very down-to-earth philosophy. Not often found. A true testament to you and Kaj character. Thanks for sharing Johan and Malin.

[@timlamarre8680]

OMG--the windlass!

[@seatravel8536]

Great video, I follow their channel. Everyone that meets him says what a good couple

[@patbrown2227]

Another wonderful video! Happy Birthday Johan!

[@mitchellstadnik752]

Happy birthday, love you Swedes so calm and confident

[@Maoli2013]

Truly, your videos are one of the best on KZbin! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. I love the calmness with which you work and live. It is very enjoyable to watch. I also appreciate the amount of work you put in to having a safe and relaxing environment. I know that it takes a lot of planning and work to create such nice videos. One thing that I especially enjoy and appreciate is that unlike some other sailing Vlogs, you don't feel the need to over indulge with alcohol to have a good time. Happy birthday Johan!!!

[@richglenn3729]

That Norfhavn is one really beautiful boat. I am impressed.

[@NorbCat]

Happy birthday, Johan! 🎂 🍺 👍 41 ... wow - I can almost remember that far back (1989) ...

[@bobo1959er]

Happy Birthday .I liked listening to Kaj talk about his boat stuff (What is life without challenge)

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

I Liked that Nordhavn 78....THAT Would be an Amazing boat to Live on....Although VERY Expensive to Operate

[@paulcollins9397]

Happy birthday, Captain! Now, you’re a drone pilot, too! A sailboat also has wings. Great video!

[@John-qw4vs]

That's an incredible yacht.... beautiful

[@chrislee1435]

Great video!!! “What is life without the challenge? “. Love that! Love the channel! Challenges are awaiting me . Your channel is inspiring! Every time I see that Bosch jacket I keep saying I’m gonna get a Bosch jacket like Johan"

[@radbcc]

Thanks guys and Happy BDay....

[@Kavack]

Those are the absolute nicest boats out there. I hope you give us a tour!

[@robfraley4210]

Wow, This was Great 😎. How neat to run into your Friend from Sweden 🇸🇪 14:30 And in a Desolate Sound in Alaska... And ends up being a Previous Owner of the Sailboat you have right NOW, unbeknownst to both of you at that time 🕰⏰⌚️⏳ We really enjoyed the interview you did with him on his Lovely 78 foot Cabin cruiser🛥

[@jazzmaster2201]

You have mastered the art of drone video! Your drone scenes are truly professional quality, IMO. We enjoy your sailing videos very much. Thanks for a look inside your world.

[@gunsmoke6230]

Happy Birthday ! That was the best show y’all have done, thank you from Houston, Texas.......

[@HopeOfJoe]

Once again, Johan and Malin, F. .A. B. U. L. O. U. S. vlog !! Nice to see you on a HUGE power yacht with friends. Nordhavn's are multi-millions, even used. Oh my on this 78 !! Out of my league ... currently !! Best wishes on your continued voyage. 😊⛵️⚓️⛴👍👌👊

[@Oogobuk]

You guys are FUN to watch, I get alot out of it... thanks !...

[@57koop]

Happy birthdayJohan! This was a great video guys, your videos are getting better and better, thank you for the journey!

[@roberttorres809]

Wow, great stuff! Wish that your friend could have elaborated a little bit more on which method of navigating the sea was easier or better, for that matter as opposed to one and the other; but none the less any time a nordhavn is involved, for me it’s a win, win situation. Thanks for sharing and thank you Johan for asking all the right questions...

[@noelligh]

Happy Birthday , loved the interview just brilliant thanks.

[@Doyle-Nutbush]

Love those Nordhavn's. Great Video

[@timjenkins8538]
