Buoy Run For A Slip In Honolulu - Ep. 108 RAN Sailing

[@michaeldeasy6319]

When in the US Navy I lived in Honolulu from 1968-1970. Back then the cheapest way to live on Oahu was on a boat moored in the Ala Wai basin. Needless to say there were many "houseboats" and pre-owned boats of questionable seaworthiness used for inexpensive housing. Back then the requirement was that once a year every boat needed to cast off and travel out and around the first sea buoy to prove it was seaworthy. For long term residents it was always on the same day. The local TV station always sent a reporter and cameraman to film the attempts. Every year one or more of the boats did not make it. Some capsized or sank. There was always police boats or Coast Guard boats nearby in the event of minor disasters. It sounds like that simple legal requirement is still in force.

That crazy motorized surfboard! I asked a fleet member of our class of small racing keelboat who lives in Hawaii. He tells me these guys are octopus fishermen on the reefs , they snorkel around with a leash to their boat/ board in the shallow water looking for octopus and apparently not keel boats sailing thru the narrow channels on the reefs! Cheers Warren

[@bja2024]

Ha ha, Johan, the marina got it all wrong. When you got to Buoy #1 and called in they were supposed to tell you they were full and to come back tomorrow.

[@RANSailing]

Haha! :)

[@edrosenberger6947]

I didn't even recognize Honolulu anymore. I lived in Oahu for 6 mos. back in 1960.....yeah, I'm old as dirt. It is hard for me to understand how you two keep the names of the same things clear in your minds.....each thing has two names, Swedish and English. More names if you know other languages. Just thinking about it boggles my mind....not to mention the meanings of words and how to string them together! Smarter than me. The heated discharge into the ocean has been hard on the coral. This was another interesting and enjoyable episode.....thank you!

[@777rogerf]

Really enjoyable. I always hope to listen to the music of the place because it really helps convey the feeling of being there when combined with such excellent videos. Thank you so much.

[@liselotte.j]

Tip for the mask: take a lighter and burn out the silicon layer on the inside of the glass till it turns black. Clean it afterwards and use baby shampoo to defog your mask before each dive. But don’t rinse it straight away! Make sure it dries. If the mask fogs up during the dive, add a little water from the bottom of the mask, move your head around to clean it, then clear your mask the usual way. Hope you see this and have even more fun on your future dive adventures!

[@waynefederico9396]

Yup, Its an island can't bring plants,insect or anything to harm the land. we never had potato's or killer bees till someone brought them here, Or Swedish meatballs but that's a good thing... Be safe thank you for showing us the world around you...

[@williamdykes2750]

At precisely 15:43 and then again at 15:56 I finally became bilingual. I understood your Swedish perfectly.

[@RoyClare]

Great episode .... again! Loved your sang froid in the face of ridiculous bureaucracy. 👍🤭😉

[@Jmmondeau]

My hometown. I was living there 1960 to 1965. In 1960 it became a state. It was pure paradise then. Its still beautiful but the tall buildings did not exist much back then. Its still feels like home to me. Thanks for the videos.

[@kennyshepherd8311]

My family met my dad on R+R (1967) at Ft DeRussey! My wife and I visited in 2016, I didn't recognize the place!

[@davidgallagher8573]

Well I have finished a binge watch of all of your videos, all I can say is thank you for sharing your grand adventure, your calmness under pressure and shear joy in experiencing new places and people puts a smile on my face each and every time I watch. Thank you both and I look forward to seeing more. Dave from NZ

[@mnweni]

When I searched on "Northwest Passage", this episode of RAN was returned. Is KZbin being prescient?

[@RANSailing]

Hm, that's strange! But glad that they show our videos :)

[@chriscastle374]

I absolutely adore how beautiful and innocent Malin is while you travel. I pray I hold onto a level of exuberance and excitement like hers when I finally make the leap into sailing myself. Thank you so much to the both of you for all the videos you put so much work into.

[@MrPaulcm1]

Great scuba diving and awesome fireworks.

[@pkane5472]

Aloha! Little boat work, little diving, little night life, what a life!

[@frankmaree54]

when your mask fogs up while diving you can rum normal dish washing detergent all of the the inside of the glass and the silicon,leave it for 10 minutes then wash it off. Before diving then just spit in mask and rub it around then rinse, I was a scuba diving instructor for 30 years and it always worked for me

[@edrosenberger6947]

Malin has the best portrayal of a shark!!

[@Chris-fo8wp]

You can put those placards on the insides of the cabinet drawers, so you do not have to look at them all the time. Messes up the woodwork..

[@Timopo]

Mahalo for sharing your adventures every single Friday for 108 weeks. That's impressive and much appreciated. Looking forward to your Alaska and BC, Canada explorations soon.

[@timothycoffey3228]

Absolute best vidios

[@dianes4858]

I’ve SO been wanting to send you a new Sweden flag! Now that people are coming to see you from Sweden, PLEASE have them bring you one. Your flag has seen better days and many miles. Love across the miles.

[@RANSailing]

We have a new one :)

[@Dr.Pepper001]

Malin, I love your contagious smile.

[@FrankHRitz]

You are one of the best VLOG series i‘ve found. Thank you.

[@amarieshearer7613]

So glad you found a reasonable place to stay. Try to enjoy yourselves. Thanks for taking us along.

[@jimjenkins673]

Can’t quit watching you two. Another fantastic trip. ,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,, fair winds.

[@Duncanj29]

40, 50, 60 thousand views , don’t need to say anymore, brilliant thanks

[@GerryBeltgens]

If you are coming to Canada in the future, make sure you visit Vancouver Island. Beautiful cruising and a warm welcome awaits you at the Ladysmith Community Marina!

[@SailingShaggySeas]

Great video! I really enjoyed the drone shots and underwater footage. Fair winds.

[@johnt.wolfbanger5731]

I've lived on Oahu for 30 years. I had sailboats but stayed at La Mariana which is a private marina in Keehi. 10 bucks per foot per month. Free electric, hawaiian style bar/resturant. Government run marinas suck. Yes, call them and you will get different answers depending who you talk to. I now have a boat at the Marine Corps marina in Kane'ohe bay. Whole different atmosphere than Honolulu. Hope you were able to check Kbay out. There is a big sandbar in the middle of the bay everyone parties at.

[@FamilyMadVentures]

Great video! We laughed at your tactful and diplomatic display all matters authority related. You guys are a fantastic example to sailors.

[@DS-qu2xf]

Hi Guys hold your mask with the head strap hanging down Get a cigarette lighter and warm the glass The moisture that caused the fogging within the glass will evaporate Next time you dive it will be like you are a glass bottom boat Feel the the vibe, we dived in Honolulu about 2 years ago still buzzing Total respect aloha

[@davidmears962]

It was fun watching this video because it brought back good memories. We spent two weeks at the Hale Koa 16 years ago. I hope you have an enjoyable stay in Hawaii. We really enjoy following your adventures.

[@trikerchief]

Brings back memories....used to live in Mililani Mauka.

[@TheGolopablo]

DIVING MASK FOGGING - Best trick...use a lighter. Heat the glass from de inside slowly till it becomes black, and then use dishwashing soap. Do it twice if necessary. That will get rid of the unmolding compound used to cast the rubber mask which leaves a greasy layer on the glass. Don't be affraid of damaging the rubber skirt, just apply the flamme on the glass....the rubber will hold that without problem.

[@BernardColdwell]

Great video with underwater footage. Bit out of the ordinary those local marina customs just to see if you can sail LOL

[@MrTodd76123]

Sea trials cracking me up. Hang in there RAN

[@va7dgp]

I thought I heard C-eh-N-eh-D-eh (Canada) in the video clip. If you decide to show up to Vancouver BC. I sure like to meet up

[@Kit2Canada]

Right, maybe we could plan a speaking evening at Bluewater Cruising Association evening? www.bluewatercruising.org/

[@TheInterloafer]

22:47 my favorite shot from the entire series so far! I don't know what that is you're trying to photograph, but it looks very interesting. AND this showcases the challenges of underwater videography, and the life of a seafaring KZbinr quite nicely!

[@dinkaboutit4228]

To be fair, your European fire extinguisher is probably full of wine, which is less than optimal for electrical fire...🔥🍷💥

[@twowheelrodeo]

I had not watched RAN sailing from the first or second episode in Hawaii, and then speculated Australia or New Zealand, or even Asia such as the Japanese fish Market, though it's North to Alaska. Sitka is nice rainy town, "Paris of the Pacific" they call it, lot of hippies and such. lol,, You can get a good bread bowl clam chowder and beer for reasonable price. Groceries are expensive, 6 dollars US a loaf in 98. Well the old Russian cemetery is interesting, mostly all decapitated concrete angles. No worries though it's mysterious. I liked for several weeks visiting a high school friend. There was a college there though I believe it closed. When I left to drive south to Montana when I got home I built a Umak. You may know this vessel. It is an old style with no tumble home in the hull. Well it sits in front yard for decade then some. Humm.. Well safe sailing, and exploring the great north country. Maybe next the Bering sea, lol. I always want to go to Nome. Humm.. ya the oceanography book I read says the seas get terrible shallow contributing to a washboard effect.

[@denisemiller4964]

Love your photography. You are one of the best on you tube. Plus the cometary is awesome.

[@genepollard234]

The fogging problems with your dive masks is from the left over silicone from the manufacturer of the masks. This gets on the glass lens. To remove it use a soft cloth with toothpaste on it. Clean the lens with a circular motion to remove the silicone from the glass lens. Wash off the toothpaste and use any baby no tears shampoo. I call this "Secrets Spit". I have over 2000 dives and it works great. Love your video's.

[@herbertocobock9436]

Ran got the run around.

[@MarinaBatham]

Your experience with Hawaii State ineptitude is spot on. Government employees are "lifers" here, and really don't care about how well they do their jobs because they can't be fired. Sorry about that, but at least you got a slip!

[@gregh7457]

State of hawaii runs the airports too but soon that job is going to be contracted out. Thats good and bad. I expect airport fees will be going even higher but i expect it to be better run. We shall see...

[@jeffpaddock3469]

One of the best episode yet. Nicely done. Love watching you and so inspiring!!

[@AnthonyCelaya]

Great video, as always. Love to watch your channel. And as someone has already mentioned, prepping the new mask with tooth paste removes the protective coating which causes the fogging. My dive buddies swear by baby shampoo as defogger, but I think that spit is just about the only thing that doesn't burn my eyes while diving.

[@dennismacdonald2003]

You two are amazing. Best sailing videos on youtube

[@andycarr4847]

I always wanted to visit there, thanks for taking me along 👍

[@fishaholiclures]

Maybe Rain X would help with fogging issue. Designed for windshield on vehicles, but also works on mirrors in bathrooms that get covered in condensation. Should be available in most car accessory stores.

[@Jfwr2010]

Once again your ingenuity is amazing! What a beautiful place...Great vid!

[@bill4nier]

Incredible undersea footage, awesome video!! Thanks for sharing. 😍😍⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊

[@pdutube]

I liked the video footage of Johan and his friend diving into the cold Atlantic waters. Some people think that whales breach the surface for food or fun, but really, it's because the water is just too cold ;-)

[@larrytemres1712]

Put a four or five drops of baby shampoo in a small bottle of water. Squirt some of the solution in your mask and scrub around with your fingers then rinse in the sea water. Works like a champ. Learned from a dive operation when I asked what they were using. They grinned and told me it was a secret recipe!!

[@pixelanddots]

So beautiful underwater footage! Thank you for all the great videos. I follow you since the beginning of your trip and I‘m always looking forward to the next friday (which means also your next video). 👍🏻

[@jochenludewig8857]

Another fantastic video...thanks for sharing! All the issues with the boat etc are now fixed so just enjoy what life is all about...being with friends and family!! Keep safe and well

[@wickerbill7793]

We just love you two’s. Another great vid. Even if it’s crowded tourista Wiki Wiki anywhere in Hawaii is paradise. We’re surprised your heading north instead of south to Polynesia. On your way to Alaska please stop in San Francisco, dinner is on me & Carol. Enjoy paradise.

[@HopeOfJoe]

WOW !! That 24 min went by sooooo fast !! What a lovely vlog and nice to see you both in good spirits. Interesting way to check in, yet I get the strategy. Fair winds !! ✨🥂✨⛵️⚓️🚣✨

[@betty-loucreamer112]

Beautiful underwater footage💞💞🐟🇨🇦

[@rayred74]

The key to not have fog in your mask is to spit into it whilst it is dry, rub it around with your finger then rinse it just before you put it on for your dive. It is important that the inside of the lens is dry when you spit into it. I have been diving for 40 years now and never had a problem

[@santamulligan676]

Stressful day tomorrow malins cousin is in the team playing England in the World Cup good luck sweden

[@allsearpw3829]

YES we all know now what happend there England went the same way as Ran,s anchor

[@ckh2815]

Good thing they don't require an anchor in that inspection.

[@acmeopinionfactory8018]

CK H Yeah- when I saw the last episode, I thought they must have a backup/stern/storm anchor, but not a word was said.

[@RANSailing]

We have two more anchors so no problems :) But non of those works in our anchor roller unfortunately.

[@charlesmcbride4315]

Good luck tomorrow...may the best team win

[@waynedoeblin6801]

You had some misfortune getting here,I am sorry to here that,but after getting settled properly in the marina,I'm sure your stay here is going to be awesome.Another lovely video,love watching you guys,thankyou👍😊

[@bophoto]

LOL Johan, love your approach to mixing two component epoxy, no dillidalli here, just mix it all up at once and pump it into the mast. well done. totally agree, that urethane foam don't seem like a great solution, the epoxy is smooth and waterproof, and now drains correctly.

[@lozobrown637]

Very nice vid.

[@georgecrouch8729]

hi, boy sure looks different since i was there in the us navy 61,62,63 have a great time and be safe.

[@arielblumenduft3293]

i don't do scuba diving but i go snorkeling almost every day, here are my 2 cents: i use the trusted spit-in-your-mask-and-rub-it-in-technique but i've found that you shouldn't rinse it too thoroughly, just dip it into the water quickly to rinse out the excess saliva, then put on the mask. sometimes i need to repeat the process once or twice until it works... make sure the whole surface area of the glass was covered in spit, if you miss a spot, the fogging up will start from there and spread.

[@Kit2Canada]

sure, you can and it does work however- toothpaste works better just rinse before use.

[@bernardowiederhold1533]

A very nice trip you are having fair winds

[@davidhuysmans67]

Looking forward to your adventures in Alaska and BC in Canada.

[@jptravels]

Absolutely brilliant video. Thank you for sharing. Keep on doing what you are at...much love 👍

[@rj7411]

Aloha. We love your videos. Appreciate your efforts and sharing. Fairwinds.

[@briancliffordsteele188]

Great Video again guy's love watching, keep them coming .

[@billb.6109]

Another excellent video, ...very informative. Thank you, we enjoyed it very much.

[@MrRJBooth]

Loved this episode . Thanks guys

[@Cptstokes]

You are only a few slips from a friend of mine,Mikey, who has a power boat. He is backed in up by the curve. He did have a lot of junk on board. He is an excellent mechanic, well versed in electrical and knows a lot of folks! If you see him, tell him Lynn said aloha1 I have used him many times while doing deliveries including an engine swap and fuel polishing.

[@santosbay]

Very nice I hope you will show more about the islands have a nice weekend

[@alexanderblitz6819]

Wow! I went scuba diving there about 18 years ago!

[@wasmorton]

Spectacular footage. Thanks for the ride.

[@johnnya9001]

That's ironic...the harbormaster doesn't have a VHF radio. That place needs some help.

[@Ok-551]

I love Hawaii. Spent two months on Maui last yr. never should have came back.

[@moz1953]

great viewing as always

[@arielblumenduft3293]

at 20:32 iohan's hair looks so soft and fluffy, now i want to pet him.... ;)

fantastic guys

[@laurie6853]

Great diving footage!! Thanks for sharing.

[@sailnsurfthurman9263]

Great episode!

[@jaybaylb]

We too were in Honolulu at the same time as you. I tried to find you, but it didn’t work out. I so wanted to meet you and possibly have taken you all out to dinner. Well maybe we will catch up again in some exotic port. Smooth seas

[@RANSailing]

Oh, sorry to have missed you! Hope to see you somewhere else! :)

[@bearmerica6668]

I remember being under those fireworks, first time I actually felt them was there.

[@snakeplisken4278]

For the mask fogging also try this. 1) pour some cold water in mask from a bottle that was frozen 2) cool face down 3) put a few drops of baby oil in mask.

[@prmartin7259]

Another great video. Loved the trip to Diamond Head, I did that also. ⛵🚣🌺🌴🌴☔👫😃😁

[@mariemorrissey9378]

All caught up with this awesome channel! Thank You, Malin and Johan for the quality work you share! #LoveRanSailing

[@tybarbier]

Awesome!

[@56Spookdog]

Another nice video and narration.

[@dwightbrown6365]

You can drive a rental car all the way up into the crater, they have a parking lot. Also in Hawaii you can not touch a turtle but in Mexico you can. also whale sharks you can touch while diving.

[@chrisstephen4563]

Great video guys

[@gyzmopower7599]

Mask fogging up. Johnson’s baby shampoo works every time. Place a few dots in , rub it and then rinse in the water pre dive. Great Vlog as always 👍

[@moejaime2654]

Great episode guys thumbs up !
