Hello Mindelo! - Ep. 29 RAN Sailing

[@mindelo23]

As a Native Cape Verdian living in the states, thank you so much for showing me my hometown again after all these years. Your video brought back so many childhood memories of growing up in Mindelo. During the drone shot i saw my high school, my mother's job, the football field me and my brother used to play, the park where I broke my wrist skateboarding(lol) and many more. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

[@davepost7675]

Just discovered your channel recently, and now looking through your old videos. You are right that people don't repair stuff any more. It's sad really.

[@prereed]

It's always a pleasure watching your episodes. Thank you very much.

[@coryblack9716]

You two are awesome! A Very competent captain and engineer! Well done! This is by far the most interesting videos I have seen on KZbin.

[@67amigo]

Words of wisdom Johan, about the art of craftmanship.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks! :)

[@Jakfilm]

Thanks for another great video. 800 Euro for an alternator! I was yelling at the screen "Rebuild it!" then you told me you rebuilt it. I calmed down.

[@RANSailing]

Haha! Thanks for watching! :-)

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Wow,looks good there. Im still in the north. Crazy winds blowing the wrong way!! Interesting that you are now going to the Caribbean. Maybe catch up with you there!!

[@nunyadambidnes9188]

Your videos are quite refreshing, thanks so much for sharing. I had to subscribe, binge watch, and smile while learning.

[@moniquemedleycommercialpro2112]

Love that you mentioned repairing as an art. Better for earth and more affordable. Happy Sails!

[@tlh1981]

YOU ARE MY NEW FAVORITE SAILING SHOW! I love the laid back music and vibes, as well as the beautiful scenery you capture. Your editing etc is perfect! I love it!

[@RANSailing]

Wow! Some very kind words! :-) Glad you like it!

[@pathfindergeorgia1117]

You guys really are such a sweet couple, have fun on and your sailing venture

[@sm6wet]

Happy belated birthday to Malin. Diod in Swedish is Diode in English. In fact this one is probably what we would call a Likriktardiod in Swedish. :) Nice to see your first shots from Cape Verde. Looking forward to more. Someone mentioned FtLauderdale being a good spot to Haul-out. I reckon they can come buy the parts needed easily but also costs of most things in the US is high. Wanna go lower price I would aim for Venezuela or perhaps Cuba - those guys are good at fixing things too. Want something more westerly.... Curacao. I fully agree with you about the fixing things. It's such a pity that such art is slowly disappearing. I thought it was a hefty price for a generator. You could probably have mail ordered a new one for €200 including freight and customs from Europe. Keep up the good work, Delos and La Vagabonde has got some serious competition. Magnus Falköping

[@marlenea167]

As usual I enjoy watching your videologs. They are as others mentioned defiantly up to par or even better than Sailing Delos, La Vagabonde and Gone with the Wynns.I also noticed that during the time you sailed and recorded video you have even gotten better at it. Keep up the good work and you will soon have 200 000 followers.

[@johnlcallaway]

The great bald Swedish hunter!!! Love it! The look does suit you, sorry Malin :-) When it comes to boat repairs, there is plenty of second-guessing and helpful people. I've had plenty of advice and hindsight on my own boat. But at some point, one just has to make a decision and move forward. It's your boat, and only you can decide what is right for you. Thanks again for sharing your adventure and producing another wonderful video.

[@RANSailing]

Haha! Yes, Malin isn't very fond of my new haircut, but fortunately it grows back. :-) Thanks for commenting and watching John! Take care! /Johan

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

Cape Verde islands 🏝 my favorite islands , thanks for sharing. Only three islands ds in the world 🌎 I like it Kauai Island, Hawaii , Tahiti islands Hatu Hiva and Cape Verde islands Mindelo

[@allsearpw3829]

Brilliant interesting video ,once again nailed it

[@franktadley1810]

As always, a very good video though not long enough. Happy belated birthday and many more. Repair is always better as you get to know the systems on your boat as well as saving on the costs. Good sailing on the crossing and finding a good yard to continue your repairs.

[@freebirdnorway]

Great videos! To keep flies completely under control you just cut a 1.5-litre plastic bottle on the top and tape it down so the top part is pointing down into the middle of the bottom part and tape the sides tight (gaffa). Then add two parts water, two parts of wine vinegar (the brown one) and some dish soap and shake it up a bit. The flies will be attracted to the vinegar smell and get trapped by the soap. I think you even can make one that hangs in a line to follow the boat movements. Good luck.

[@rodmoyes2235]

Another great video, interesting and informative as well as entertaining. Can't wait for the next step of your adventure.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching and your kind words! Take care

[@mscylon1]

Happy Birthday from Australia, Malin! I love following your guys sailing journey.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Martina! :-) Take care and thanks for watching! /Malin

[@jsaintrotten1]

so glad I found this channel..it nice to see a sensible couple in a relaxing setting

[@BrassLock]

I jumped forwards in my sequence of watching your channel (doing a RAN-a-thon here), and must say that the warm climate and sunshine has cheered you guys up, despite the maintenence setbacks. Best wishes for your repair journey.

[@VictoriaWargaming]

hahah the manic look in Johan's eyes hunting the bug..

[@xxkasperxx]

The country my great grandparents migrated to the US from ....thanks for sharing ...I hope to visit someday!

[@dsinclairTUBE]

Wow - your edits are getting so good! And happy birthday!

[@sailingandrunning]

Loving the videos, well done on the alternator I've repaired a few in the past myself and it saves money.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Paul! We try to keep the costs down, which is not always easy. So it feels great when you succeed! :-)

[@normanboyes4983]

You are great story tellers. Enjoy your time on land exploring the Verde before you finally set off. Thank you.

[@whotknots]

I wondered if they disconnected the battery when you had your anchor fitting welded several episodes ago. Because if you do not disconnect the battery when you do welding it can damage the diodes in the voltage regulator for your alternator!

[@cursecurse75]

I guess it's too late but still..Happy birthday :) Cheers

[@baseballDUDE32]

Looking forward to your next adventure. 😎

[@97quadcam]

Diode is the same in English. it's pronunciation is a bit different. It's the part of the alternator used the reverse flow of electricity in an AC producing alternator. It's usually contained with the bridge rectifier. Making AC usable to a DC system. So instead of a sine wave it looks like a smooth line of current...when viewed on an oscilloscope. Thanks Nikola Tesla! Great video!

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for the explanation and for watching! :-) Take care

[@john3Lee]

Thumbs up - I always look forward your videos.. Thank you :)

[@RANSailing]

Thanks John! Glad you like them! :-)

[@skarthi52]

Belated birthday wishes. Sorry to hear you're skipping Brazil. Look forward to your next video. 😎

[@davidc6510]

[@brickleberry7829]

Thank you for sharing this well done video narrated with a very pleasant feminine voice.

[@toxic-gb2vf]

Thanks for sharing your adventures guys. I love the relaxed attitude. I also love that this video has zero thumbs down! Fair winds and following seas.

[@laroberts303]

Another great video, thanks for doing all the work to put these out there for us. Happy Belated Birthday!!!! Oh, and those pesky flies, dang it!

[@rjlundeen]

Happy birthday Malin.

[@laurentfroggy6631]

Great video guys and happy birthday dear. Once in the Caribbean check out Rick Moore, he has lots of contacts and I am sure would love to help. Check his videos on KZbin. You guys have lots in common Keep those videos coming. There are just awesome to watch. I loved the end with the fly. You're a real "killer" 🙊

[@bobahlberg6360]

Happy Birthday Malin

[@barbiesboats4522]

Thanks for another great video. It's nice to hear you are going to the Caribbean, maybe I'll see you there! :)

Thank you! :)

[@jomama2988]

[@alinthekeys]

Great video as always , thanks for sharing . Cape verde. looks like a great place to layover. love the new look.

[@neillawrie9239]

caught up now with your adventures, wonderful videos guys. Happy Birthday Malin

[@machinesandthings7121]

THE FLYS!!!! I was visualizing Techno Viking go after those flys.

[@danielhoyle3546]

Great video. Enjoy the Drone photography. You two are doing a great job. Thank you for sharing.

[@moomman89]

Happy birthday.Hope you get the shaft fixed.

[@sailingmaluhia8441]

Nice video. Looking forward to following you here on KZbin.... And hoping to be able to follow your path in not so long. Take care.

[@airmagic2199]

THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEOS!!! Good Luck and keep it up! Blessings from Grass Valley, California

[@RANSailing]

Thanks!

[@bigwallyhdfb]

Great video enjoy and be safe

[@KennySantiagovids]

Love the quality!

[@jascasf]

happy birthday

[@nheeren1]

As always love the video and love you guys. Good fly killing music. I have had one of those electric fly swatters for ages. About $10 USD. More fun and no fly guts everywhere, plus you can pop/explode the ones you really hate.

[@nheeren1]

The ten dollar ones break easy. I have this one the Executioner Pro. Has lasted years and fries them much better. www.amazon.com/Executioner-Swat-Mosquito-Swatter-Zapper/dp/B003TT3GDC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477616042&sr=8-1&keywords=the+executioner+pro

[@RANSailing]

If the fly invasion last we will definitely get one! :-) Thanks for the tip! Take care

[@wilfrennecke9501]

Hey, sorry about your alternator but good repair. If you are ever in British Columbia, Canada come visit and see how beautiful the cruising is here. We sail a Panda 40, black hull.....we have a spare alternator that would fit your Volvo....we repowered to a Yanmar about 5 years ago and you would be welcome to have the alternator as a spare. We love your videos, looking forward to your haulout !!!!

[@charlescurtius2261]

happy belated birthday young lady. hmm buy Johan a big hoop earring and an eye patch and he can be the 1st (far as i know) Swedish pirate captain. LOL

[@qristv1912]

pretty cool thanks for sharing

[@slimpickins3425]

Happy Birthday!! love following you guys!!

[@moshogroup109]

Awesome!

[@clintbillton2161]

Killing flies, Reminds me of Luscious Varinus from tv serie Rome ;D

[@cyclingwithkiwi3956]

you guys rock

[@supershane1960]

Great video, as always. Enjoy seeing the adventures you get up to. Happy Birthday Malin xox. Looking forward to the next one... ;-}

[@michaelsamuel4159]

I like the haircut, and happy belated birthday! Cheers!

[@clarkshafer377]

[@robertburnett1970]

Need to come to Texas

[@ruvuma1]

They are welcome to my country

[@moz1953]

glad to have found your vlogs guys, be safe, moz

[@fitzsfixes]

At the 3:51 mark, there was what looked like a flame on the right side of the engine at the oil dipstick. What was that?

[@jennc743]

Nice video.

[@robertrafter2644]

great vid as always,thanks for sharing

[@LightWorker840]

Hey happy birthday Malin..! I heard that Venezuela is got some of the best skilled labor and the cheapest prices in the Caribbean... however politically right now it sucks... another option that I think is really good would be Cuba… It's really opened up to tourism…and things can be shipped to you from the States (USA) if you need something that you can get there… It's very inexpensive and beautiful… But I would check around using the sailing forums... to figure out the best place... anyway, wishing you the best… Keep in touch with any questions etc...Peace, Captain Rob SV Blue Tequila saying

[@seanmulligan1339]

I was wondering about the anodes you can dangle one connected to the boat especially in the marinas

[@aztekjp]

...jóga...hmyz také žije a poslední studie dokazují jeho inteligenci...lépe lapit a pustit. Hodně štěstí milenci z roku 1 *:)

[@jimjenkins673]

Why do you have to be sooooo good? I need a RAN intervention, can’t, ....stop,......watching,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,,,,,,,sail on.

[@sailorama]

Hey, recognized the music from the fellow sailor over at 'Sail Over the Horizon' channel. Cool that you are sharing the art!

[@wishfull9036]

It's really beautiful. Can you tell me the name of the track? Thks.

[@sailorama]

Hey there! They've put the name in the video description - it's Sunshine Reggae by Pete Flamo.

[@wishfull9036]

Thanks for replying. I am looking for the one at the beginning of the video. Do you know that one?

[@2cwaves432]

Hi Guys really enjoying your filming could you please tell what camera you are using

[@thatdutchguy2882]

"Diode" it's the same in Dutch, but i don't know the English for it either Johan.

[@allsearpw3829]

DIODE IN THE UK AS WELL

[@teresitasamonte1074]

to get rid of the flies, we light a dandle and place on the table ,

[@RoyClare]

OMG - you guys! The fly swat wasn't the best bit, but it was certainly laugh out loud funny. The best bit is just you two and your awesome adventure. Thank you as always for sharing. 👍👏🤘😎 greetings from NZ ... 🇳🇿 ... Roy

[@CoastLife]

We liked your killing mission. :) Looks like you need a new fly swatter.

[@johnnilje8083]

Coast Life egen

[@Davebbell1]

The word in english is diode. A common weak link in alternators.

[@d.c.stewart5336]

That's a lot of money for an alternator!! Must have thought you were that famous actor ...Mr Clean..(;~ )

[@dirtfisherman3489]

Yup.He just needs the two ear rings & he is Mr Clean!!

[@wishfull9036]

I thought he looked like James Bond on the beach.

[@RANSailing]

Haha! Mr.Clean! :-) I think I better get started to grow my hair back then.... Take care!

[@RANSailing]

Haha!

[@RANSailing]

James bond sounds better than Mr.Clean! :-)

[@gunsen73]

nice haircut bro

[@zephyrdog229]

LMAOROTF!! I know that FLY HUNTING! vibe!!

[@samuelstevens8390]

When you going back to cape Verde

[@round51]

Just curious, where do plan on hauling out in the Caribian

[@round51]

Sorry hit the wrong button there. Where in the Caribbean. I would think Fort Lauderdale would be the cheapest place as the "season" is coming on in the Caribbean It's self

[@RANSailing]

We will probably head for Grenada in the south for hauling the boat, and then head north after we are done. I found a place there that seem to be reasonable priced... Take care!

[@alansailing1387]

Diodes or rectifier for a bunch of diodes - same in English. The art of repairing things is lost on modern society even when the replacement cost is high. Happy Birthday to Malin.

[@andreasweber5638]

12:25 aaand it was time for another shower, I suppose 🤣

[@jonathanoasis]

12:50 use a spray bottle of soapy water works much better for flies, than a fly swatter which even if it hits, will explode fly parts all over, yuck.

[@ThomasSchick]

...unfortunately, failure is engineered into the design of a lot things today...I find your videos amusing...🤓👍🏻

[@CITAP1]

Wear your sunscreen! Or a hat! I love killing flys, batter up. A baseball reference to swinging the fly swatter if you don't get it. Take care you guys and happy alternatoring!

[@MOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOM]

Bring IKEA there!
