Bathing In Alaskan Hot Springs - Ep. 125 RAN Sailing

[@SimonStJohn]

Every week RAN Sailing continues to set the standard for sailing exploration videos.....truly beautiful videography, narration and attention to detail. Our weekly fix of adventureneering the seas!

[@RANSailing]

That makes us very happy! Thank you so much :)

[@adammacleod925]

I really will not understand why there isin't a half million subs or more. One of the best shows on KZbin.

[@roderickmchardy3650]

i think we all know how he could get the 1/2 million subs,,, but i guess dignity is more important to them,,, and perhaps that is why we like them so much...

[@Thomas_Speck]

@Adam - correct, they should have. @roderick - That describes it perfectly!

[@dh5645]

roderick mchardy good things will come to those with dignity ⛵️

[@ThoughT73]

With the 2 popular ones developing into reality/baby-boat and Caribean Party Boat, this is WAY better!

[@kaushikmehta2497]

Adam. Perhaps more pertinent; Who are the 3 oafs that gave this the thumbs down !!!

[@edrosenberger6947]

Sweden did a outstanding job of making such wonderfully thoughtful, calm and insightful humans as Malin and Johan. I always feel better and more relaxed after watching a new episode of RAN Sailing....and I usually learn something new as well. If there are new episodes of other channels along with RAN, I watch RAN last, saving the best for last.....thank you both!!

[@RANSailing]

Great to hear! Thank you so much Ed :)

[@SailingSeaDreamofClyde]

Isn't Warm (HOT!) Springs Bay just the best!? Such an amazing spot to spend some time.

[@Maoli2013]

What? Not looking for the nearest drunken festival like a certain other sailing VLOG? Congrats on truly living the life of adventure and communing with nature. There are thousands of people, like myself, who are living vicariously through your weekly VLOG. Thank you so much.

[@Midpack4]

I’ve watched multiple episodes of SLV, Wynns, Delos and dozens of others sail/cruising KZbin channels - and RAN sailing is my absolute favorite. It’s the only channel I’ve watched all the episodes and look forward to the next. Great content, great production quality with a lovely couple. I’ve donated to the channel, and expect to continue. Keep up the great work!

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much! Makes us very happy to hear. Thank you so much for the donations as well! Cheers Malin and Johan

[@joshuawalker7054]

I don't think Marin has the abilty to frown. She's just smiling all the time!

[@chascain1]

I think i saw a slight frown once...after 3 weeks at sea...lol

[@teejay7157]

Your Alaskan videos have been really remarkable - the epic, stark beauty of the scenery along with the slow, gentle pace combine to make them so soothing to watch - really wonderful. Thank you both for such great entertainment.

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much!

[@B6east]

You are such an important part of our week: We only allow ourselves ice cream once a week, and that is usually Saturday evening while watching the new RAN sailing video....BLISS !

[@RANSailing]

Love it! :) Thanks for watching!

[@murraywestenskow2896]

Magical - You two captured the specialness of the hot springs and your film making skills/editing are professional quality. These last few episodes you've created are as good as anything I've seen on youtube, but this one stands alone. Great job!

[@billym8915]

The drone montage of RAN was awesome! Not just the photography but the editing and the musical score too. Nice work.

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much!

[@seadog2396]

Once again, another of your superb videos. Your depiction of this place makes us want to go there. You guys remain real treasures. Thanks for your hard work.

[@RANSailing]

Glad you liked it! Thanks a lot :)

[@jimjenkins673]

The best channel and sailors on you tube......nailed it again. ,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,,fair winds.

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much! :)

[@markcole9589]

Your comparison to the Alps is right on , thanks for letting us participate on your epic journey, Grettings from the „Alps“ in Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@andiheinrich2830]

I agree, even if presumably the water in the Alps tastes less salty. Greetings from the Bavarian Alps.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Mark! :)

[@johnunruh7119]

Watching your videos is like being along on a wonderful trip with 2 young friends. You are a marvelous storyteller!

[@RANSailing]

Make us very happy to hear that :)

[@JustMe-pp1mp]

Johan/Malin - I found the drone/music segment @6.51 most enjoyable. Good enough to be used by Hollywood as the closing of a movie when the hero and heroin sail off into the sunset after a most glamorous expedition. Save those blueberries for your breakfast cereal! Thank you for allowing us along on your adventure. Stay safe :-)

[@RANSailing]

Wow that would have been something :)

[@finneysimon]

One of your best vlogs which means it’s up there in my top 10 for the year. The drone segment from 6:55 to 7:30 was just perfect, with the sound track perfectly enhancing the stillness of the sea. Thanks for a wonderful start to my weekend.

[@silviorefondini]

I confirm, for me as well one of my top 10 !!!

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much! :)

[@silviorefondini]

...you make us all envious ! Prepare for the winter season and come back with more, just the way you just did it ! Details, your life aboard, scenery, sailing preps and more are just what all of us are waiting for. Keep smiling, get good fuel and good winds.

[@silviorefondini]

Nothing to thank, you have done a real good job and this time I did appreciate much your details shown the best possible way, your way of life on board and ashore, the scenery, choise of music and more... You are sailing in a region of my dreams and so, through your eyes by the mean of your videos, you make us all happy and somehow jealous !!!

[@seadog2396]

Also, I should say, that the thousands of us who watch you guys regularly, So Appreciate how REAL you both are. You both have given all of us a Real-world appreciation of the Swedish culture. I had great respect for the culture before, but much more now. My wish is that most of your subs study the history of Sweden, so people will understand the Great Contributions the nation has made. Sorry we all don't understand the the language...

[@RANSailing]

That makes us very happy to hear. Thank you for that and for watching our videos! :)

[@rj7411]

"...left us warm both on the inside and the outside." Perfect Malin. You two are the best, Thank you.

[@shimmer6417]

wish I knew when you where in Seward. I would have liked to meet you two. I've been here my whole life. It's so nice to see how wonderfully you share your travels with us. Knowing what I know from living here in Alaska all my life. An seeing how you document your travels. Wow !!! Truly a solid video channel. And a couple of beautiful souls. Much love to you. Gods speed ⛵️

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much! Sorry we missed you in Seward. Next time! :)

[@jderrida69]

The two of you are just great sailors, you have become amazing film makers.

[@boeretoer]

The way a weekend STARTS! RAN sailing and a ice cold beer! Thank you Johan & Malin, lots of love from South Africa! 😀😀😀⚓⚓⚓

[@RANSailing]

Awesome, lekker! Have a nice weekend and thanks for watching! :)

[@markconyers11]

Your short films are always great! Thank you for sharing.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks you so much! :)

[@SuperLaplander]

Got my fix, a weekly dose of RAN sailing. Much love from Stockholm!

[@grantpritchard7492]

The way you two make videos is really beautiful. Something clean, wholesome and above all, endearing. They just make me want to travel to the places you go to. Wonderful!!

[@RANSailing]

That's so nice to hear, thank you so much!

[@johnbaxter8569]

Thankyou for sharing your life with us... It is so beautiful and you two are very special people...

[@goutvols103]

Glad that y'all are enjoying the wild outdoors in Alaska. It is wild for a reason and hopefully you have a safety plan in case you meet a bear.

[@williamdykes2750]

The first 20 seconds of this video are truly beautiful. Two incredible humans both observing and being observed in a serene pool of calm warm water juxtaposed against a cold, wild and dangerous river (that I'd love to kayak, but I'm not good enough) . This was way better than any opening scene of any movie I have ever seen. Wow!

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much!

[@leepaulin8587]

You produce some beautiful videos!

[@edwardheisterkamp7196]

Beautiful! Love your photography and the editing is superbly done. It captures the true essence of the North. Made feel homesick as I grew up in a small coastal town a bit south from there. If you love the wilderness the isolation would not bother you.

[@tomwilliams8675]

What a beautiful place. With beautiful people. Thanks for bringing us with you.

[@52rajesh]

Beautiful episode while watching I was totally unaware of my surrounding ,so ,deeply enjoying the combination of photography and music I,could not hear my wife calling me fantastic experience as if my possible existence in that environment. Thank to you both presenting such wondrous moments of your travel .God bless you both .Enjoy and happy sailing rajesh from Bombay.

[@RANSailing]

Thank you Rajesh!

[@NorbCat]

What an awesome filming team ... Johan, your drone skills are unmatchable ... and Malin, your editing skills are unsurpassed by anyone else producing KZbin content. Everything you two do is superb - filmography, editing, narration, background music ... it’s all done so perfectly.

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much!

[@waynefederico9396]

This is the closest I'll ever get to see what you see. Thank you so much..

[@carlesinseattle7660]

Your artistic eye is splendid, your storytelling superior, your destinations fantastic!! In addition, I so very much appreciate your English without American slang.

[@kenaidog6974]

Would love to spend a week at those hot springs. Wish Kodiak had them.

[@billmead5052]

Each stop seems more special than the last one. Alaska was never on my list but it is now!

[@gonewplaces2685]

Amazing. You guys not only capture incredible videos but your episodes move along at the relaxed pace of long term traveling. Thank you for the effort to share a small slice of your lives

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much!

[@normanboyes4983]

Masterful and majestic.👍⛵️

[@bartwesp4303]

The drone footage has gotten far more daring, and it rewarded us with some great footage!! splendid video :-) thank you

[@RANSailing]

Glad you like it! :)

[@kirenireves]

Just thing of the centuries of people who sat in that hole at 15:30. Such an obvious place to enjoy the warm water. You were in a spot that people for at least 1000 years sat in. Epic! ^_^

[@murraywestenskow2896]

Nice thought... ancient history awes me. Indigenous people have been known to habitat that land for around 14,000 years, so yeah, thousands of people through thousands of years have sat in that hole and let the thermal water warm their bones. I bet the stone is worn smooth.

[@RANSailing]

Yes, it's so cool!

[@patrickmagee2528]

Now isn't this way better than the Ant Arctic ??? Beautiful water and a beautiful woman , paradise .

[@NorbCat]

Patrick - Those Arctic Ants must be a hardy breed of pesky buggers!

[@patrickmagee2528]

Mark Harrod they're mean too. Hahaha

[@symphonyfarm2009]

What a place to wait out some weather!!!

[@RANSailing]

The best! :)

[@ocxb]

I’ve watched you trek half way around the world and the Alaska segment is among the most beautiful. Alfy with life is like sailing has the Canadian cruising areas which are also great. I’m always jealous when I watch these videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@vraymond108]

You found our #1 favorite place in AK. Thanks for the beautiful reminder of what a truly special place it is.

[@RANSailing]

We loved it! :)

[@selsyn73]

Another beautiful video. Thanks for sharing another portion of your adventure. Peace.

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

I m glad so warm inside passage in Alaska ,so beautiful the southeast .You have a good time in August month. I sailed ⛵ in Alaska in 2012 and I want to return soon again .

[@toddsimpson3953]

Wow guys each new episode is better than the last. Your story telling through video is a joy to watch. Thank you!

[@peterculverwell2030]

Another amazing video, travelling with you guys is amazing. Your relaxed presentation is so enjoyable and your content is so interesting, your drone coverage is sublime. I agree with other comments here, that you should have far more subscribers, they are missing something really special. Thank You 🙏

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much Peter! :)

[@William1942-t2w]

Excellent records of nature. Beautiful composition and imagination with he drone videos. Eat your heart out, NatGeo! Thank you.

[@prmartin7259]

Wonderful marvelous video. 👫🛫🛬🌲🌲👍

[@john3Lee]

I think this is a more beautiful area to cruise then the Caribbean......

[@keithmoser1495]

Very, very professional video I didn't feel I was being rushed through instead given the opportunity to see and enjoy.

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much! :)

[@petergillis3475]

I see a new video, I press like before I even watch it, it's that good!

[@RANSailing]

Awesome :)

[@marcoantoniofederico7891]

Beautiful images. Thanks for sharing.

[@renatomsgomes]

is like this the all summer? so clean of tourist you you wend in off peak? what an amazing place!!!

[@RANSailing]

It was still high season when we were there. But it’s a very remote place that you only reach by boat or sea plane.

[@netpackrat]

Loving these. You hit Prince William Sound where I grew up, and now you are doing southeast AK where my wife is from.

[@RANSailing]

Beautiful areas!

[@BillReitz]

Your video work is very nice and the music for the drone shots I really like. Good job and thank you for taking me on your journey !!

[@willbd331331]

I know you two have sacrificed a few things to go on the journey. The beauty that you've shared with us all I hope makes those sacrifices better. My favorite vlog on KZbin

[@netsoup1]

Lovely. I live in Minnesota and it is beautiful here. You could also sail here if you get back to the other coast. However, we do not have hot springs that I know of. I have watched your video from the beginning and this is a wonderful production. Thank you.

[@darrellbelk426]

This Alaska trip has been FANTASTIC!!!

[@Scruffers2011]

Absolutely beautiful. Your videos are so well made, just like a professional documentary. Thank you.

[@cryttersytter]

Happy happy RAN FRIDAY!! Best documentary videos ever. Thanks guys 💪👍

[@RANSailing]

RAN Friday, love that! Thanks so much :)

[@M-Swede]

Iconic drone shot at 7:30. Nicely done guys!

[@RANSailing]

Thanks a lot!

[@prof.m.ottozeeejcdecs9998]

How beautiful! thanks! Fortunately we still have some beautiful nature around the planet, but we, the human inhabitants have been very bad stewards... using our oceans and land as trash dumps and toilets... when will we get smart and realize, that there is only 1 planet known to us, as beautiful as earth! thanks for taking us with you, Malin and Johan!

[@mhensen1]

That was beautiful, I love the way you see beauty and fall silent, to allow us to feel it too

[@RANSailing]

Glad you appreciate it :)

[@deplorablerai9802]

So incredibly beautiful, I get overwhelmed with emotions... Thank You both

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much! :)

[@hughnorman5869]

Wonderful opening..

[@jamesedwards1588]

Thanks

[@ascott6804]

You two are so blessed!! Thank you for sharing these awsome travels.

[@jimanderson2518]

The footage of the boat from the drone.....the over head shots the music choice just amazing wow!!!! I replayed it over and over . The improvement in your production is absolutely first class Fairwinds from the @captainschair Cheers

[@RANSailing]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@lessd685]

I have enjoyed y'all's Alaskan adventures as much as any You Tube videos from any sailing channel. I cannot wait to enjoy a glass of wine; sit back with anticipation to enjoying each one so much. Just plain beautiful as well as greatly informative. Thank you for taking the time to produce such well done videos. Fair winds.

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching! :)

[@LoriG75]

Wow, just wow!

[@georgelambertson300]

Truly a fantastic location that nature has created and a great vlog Malin and Johan beautifully presented to us your Fans. Many Txs.

[@pinebearclub]

As a hot spring lover, I’ve been to many of these, but the best ones are hard to get to! Thank you again for inspiring me, as I’m moving closer and closer to this lifestyle! Bryan from Vancouver

[@RANSailing]

Yes, this one is only accessible by sea plan or boat! So nice that you're going for this lifestyle too!

[@dianneerickson1262]

Fantastic whale shots! Again, great cinematography. Very professional.

[@geodesy2009]

Wonderful!! As always you find the quiet heart of the places you visit and share your simple joy in very well produced videos. Your episodes are a peaceful respite from the growing crowd of drone happy, overly scored and banal sailing VLOGS on KZbin. Thank you for sharing your joyful voyage.

[@RANSailing]

Glad you like it! Thanks :)

[@jwyzdm]

You make my bucket list longer with such great videos. Thank You

[@lieudaze6272]

Almost speechless, you two are covering everything that we love about remote cruising. The genuine look and sense of of what your experiencing is brilliantly conveyed for the amazing places your sharing. Thank you for sharing and inspiring, wish you both the best!

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much! :)

[@simonbutcher3498]

Wonderful to see the carving today. But needed more spooky wooooooos

[@wanambi8553]

A perfect cut like ever. One of the only channels I watch 20 min videos without going boring. Fair winds Tom

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much! :)

[@amarieshearer7613]

Beautiful! Nice to see warmer days in Alaska. Wales were awesome!

[@johnlindatippett5019]

[@santosbay]

Perfect Video, and I believe its amazing warm springs Bay. I would sit down for a hole day. wonderful nature perfect spot for black and white photographer. thanks for sharing. bon voyage

[@patbrown2227]

Another wonderful episode. The round blue berries are most likely huckleberries. And yes, the bears love them. Despite much effort to grow huckleberries commercially, they are just wild and taste wonderful.

[@annwatson4509]

The classical music with your drone shot was beautiful!!!!

[@RANSailing]

Glad you liked it :)

[@chiefcliff]

Prettiest spot you've been to. Great video work.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks :)

[@bophoto]

highlight of my week

[@sailservicegermany1687]

[@peterstanistreet603]

Awesome! As always...Much thanks and giant hugs to you both...

[@moz1953]

mother nature in all her glory, totally stunning and beautifully captured by you both, be well and safe my favourite Swedes

[@nheeren1]

Sweet! Two years ago I was there in late November. Snowed almost two feet that night. Took over an hour to shovel all the snow off the boat in the morning. Loved it! So stoked you guys got to check it out.

[@RANSailing]

That must have been amazing!

[@Mr7valentine7]

What amazing places you've shown us! Thank you, Malin & Johan, for sharing your wonderful video!

[@gras4744]

Loved it, loved it. Those springs look incredible. I would have probably never left.

[@davidnichols147]

This has to be one of the coolest video's made on your many adventures?

[@judyhunter9895]

You two are awesome! Don't ever change...well that's asking a lot! 😘😉 follower since the beginning!

[@ronjohnson9690]

An incredibly awesome place.

[@desertdanblacksmith1394]

Incredible! what a special place! Top notch videography! Fair Winds from Arizona!
