How could we forget? Truly AMAZING experience! - Ep. 307 RAN Sailing

Join the RAN Sailing crew ~ for livestreams, exclusive content & more
/ ransailing
We're back in beautiful Bonaire, one of the best dive sites in the world! We explore the south part of the island, we see the salt ponds, Flamingos and wind and kite surfers. During our last visit 5 years ago we found a geocache and it was still there with our message. We pay a visit to the Donkey Sanctuary and Vera loved the donkeys. Then finally we went diving and we remembered just how amazing it is underwater.
We are a Swedish family who have sailed the world since 2016 while sharing the adventures here on KZbin. Our boat and home is a Najad 440 from 1988. We post a new episode every Friday so make sure to subscribe and hit the bell to be the first to know when there is a new episode!

This is a beautiful episode. As Vera grows up you both are relaxing more and the videos are going back to the style that you originally made, I can see you are loving it again. Malin lovely underwater footage

[@BohemianBeatster]

Love this episode. Salt mounds, diving. Beautiful fish. Love your daughters sunglasses, so cool and groovy. Stay groovy and stay safe.

[@barbiewarner530]

what a beautiful place.so lucky 2 go do all those thing u do wth ur family. love the donkeys..vera is a lucky girl what memorys she l ave 4 t he rest of her life.

[@DobDog151]

Oh man. I remember your first visit to the Sanctuary. So amazing to take Vera to visit too. Wonderful. Thx for sharing.

[@gertschmidt282]

Welcome to an other episode of Vera Sailing, the new Crown Princess of Sweden 👸 😍She’s such a jewel. And you are truly amazing, creating such a beautilully show…. the calm pace, your integrity- not ”jumping around” trying to look ”cool”, interesting. I even got emotional when you visited the donkeys, and watching the beutifully diving pictures. Thank’s and take care! Hälsningar från ett just nu ganska molnigt Småland🌹

[@richglenn3729]

Vera is growing up so fast. Such a happy child.

[@erichcollar9810]

I was mesmerized. What a beautiful spot. It was a super idea to included the names of the fish in this video. Because of you, my bucket list is growing by each episode. And your Vera is such a delight. cheers!

[@freedomrider30]

Wow. Cant belive it has been over four years I have been watching you guys. I watched that dive vid. Love all the vids!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

[@bobsails9750]

Thank you.

[@HellyWelly93]

Love exploring the islands 😊

[@gillian4033]

Wanted to say how much I appreciate the time you take to identify fish/things of interest underwater - so many sailing youtube channels show diving and rave about it - but for those of us not diving or knowledgeable there is only so much interest without the names of what we are seeing - I admit I appreciate the diversity and beauty...but it gets a bit boring if it goes too long without knowing what you are looking at - big thanks for taking the time to do this! (Edited to add... I live in Bermuda and as such recognize many of the species...but even I find some others diving content a bit boring after a while without the identification you provide).

[@TheSkidon]

The moment at 5:50 of Vera dragging her foot through the shadow while the shadow is moving - remarkable perception by her.

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Such a stunning place, the underwater video was amazing. Vera looked so cute with her big sunglasses 😎 Stay safe 👍👍🥰⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@scottfarrell8764]

Ironically, that first geocaching video is the reason I found your channel. I was searching "geocaching" and I stumbled on your video. I've been a fan and subscriber ever since. And I don't know squat about sailing. Thanks for the years of entertainment.

[@amarieshearer7613]

Just love Vera, she is so independent! The underwater footage is great!

[@bobbiejay2085]

Vera - shadow spotting, sunglasses and glaring beyond, 'no pappa' whilst feeling her first go at steering a car - beautifully exacting and perceptive independent child. Lovely video from beginning to end.

[@johnwalker6711]

Great footage guys and Vera the Viking girl is a credit to you both fair winds !!

[@jorgeconcheyro]

lovely detail putting the names of the fish... thanks guys ;)

[@leonasimmons162]

Thank you for sharing.❤

[@Greggspies]

It's the hat to have!

[@gidge34]

This channel never disappoints ❤️❤️❤️

[@mapsman5513]

Thank you for the labels of the fish. So enjoyable to know what type each fish is while watching.

[@MiQBohlin]

I really love it when you do this wildlife labelling.

[@bluewendytube]

That was lovely. Vera does make us smile, she’s like a little movie star! It’s another world down in those waters, such incredible colours and patterns, quite amazing.

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you for 307...

[@BulletproofPastor]

I remember watching you find that geocache 5 yrs. ago, and seeing the donkey refuge. WOW! Five years ago and I was a long term subscriber then. I don't think I've missed a single episode. Whatever you're feeding Vera, it's working like fertilizer. She's growing more with each video.

[@davidnichols147]

Loved the Donkey Sanctuary!

[@lets_go_see_]

That was a really great day for you !

[@adrianburton1137]

A super episode... thank you

[@bethmeredith7735]

Always, always a great video from Ran Sailing. Thank you !!

[@tomas5376]

Love Bonaire! One of my favorite places!⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@McTroyd]

I have sympathy for Vera. I was the kid that would travel to the beach... to go to the pool. Hotel pools in particular were the best. 🤣 I would guess that, once she's old enough to see some of the diving things that you are, she'll change her tune. 👍️

[@andrewjames7616]

Thankyou 👍

[@dav1dsm1th]

Your underwater footage is always amazing - you should definitely dive more often than once every four years 🙂. Hopefully all three of you can dive together in a few years. Stay safe out there.

[@Tim8mit]

the ABC islands had done such a great job at defending their dive sites, I was in Curacao 35 years ago diving and the reefs and sites were just the same as your video....fantastic

[@SkylinersYeti]

My wife and I are not sailors but we do travel with our RV (Caravan), in the western US. Geocaching is one of the activities that we do to add to the enjoyment of our travels. I noticed you do have an account but have not recorded any finds. Love your channel.

[@chasingdreams2422]

You guys are such an inspiration! Love the quality material you bring out ⛵️

[@marekhrin3034]

I remember the last time you guys were there fun that you went to find your old message. Great episode

[@performa476]

What a beautiful video. Love the underwater shots. Try putting a black outline around the names of the fish. It'll make the text pop out against any color background. Makes it super easy to read. Thanks for everything over the years. Y'all are the nicest family on KZbin.

[@thejerseylady1]

Wow, geocaching, donkeys and diving! What fun. Thanks for taking us along. Keep safe and enjoy. Gloria 🐂

[@avail1.]

🏝happy travels 🏝 and thank you🏝

[@bubbagail7450]

Such an amazing family to watch on their life's adventures. I remember the donkey refuge first visit, didn.t realize it has been that long ago. Great vid guys.

[@maureenb7399]

Beautiful and clear visibility! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure ❤️

[@jingbar]

This is a beautiful episode, as Vera gets older you both are relaxing more and the videos are going back the style that you started out making. Malin the underwater footage is lovely

[@HopeOfJoe]

Another great,soft,easy going episode guys ‼️ Love the dives toward the end. Would love to do that some day, however I have to stick to snorkeling. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝👙🌞✨🤿

[@ldirk58601]

This was so relaxing, love Veras yellow dress against her beautiful sun kissed skin. Shes so pretty and growing so fast. Loved the diving! I, too, remember the geo cache from five years ago and the donkeys. They all look fit and healthy! Stay Well!

[@windonwater3895]

It seems like every episode is better than the last. Is that possible? I went to Bonaire to windsurf about 10 years ago and got "skunked". I ended up sailing on one of their bigger board with a big sail. Thanks for the great filming and story. BTW, Vera is getting cuter all the time!!

[@gordthompson4664]

It's been a lot more than 4 years since I've gone diving in the Caribbean. Thanks for reminding me how beautiful it is. So happy for the three of you 💓.

[@garyfroeschner2523]

good stuff

[@trevhedges]

Amazing as normal! Cheers guys! Oh and echoing the comments Vera is still the happiest and Cutest sailing princess ever! Took a bit screen grabs for the group.. thanks again guys!

[@frankd2301]

Nice to finally see healthy coral and many fish

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

The beautiful colors remind me of carnival cotton candy, with the pinks and turquoise.💗💙

[@FlesHBoX]

Oh man, I haven't thought about geocaching in forever! Doing it as a cruiser would be amazing!

[@gameranch9370]

Hi .Love Sir and Family .After Two Weeks and Thanks For Experience.

[@lizflorom6021]

Amazing!!,

[@garycolemanml]

yet another awesome vLog, thanks. The donkey farm reminded me of my trip to Oatman Arizona. The venders offer brown bags of donkey treats... great fun

[@MrPaulcm1]

Love the vlog :)

[@jwrappuhn71]

Good vid.

[@donnakawana]

My sister lives in Aruba. An I love the ABC Islands so much ... It's a beautiful place to Dive an it's my dream to die on Aruba... Saving for a sailboat so my autistic son can be close to the Ocean ... It's his thing... An I just wanna make him smile every day.. Vera is such a sweet independent lil girl an so very smart.... Thanks for sharing your lives with us ✌🏼💗😊❣️

[@HarrietUlrika]

Det är härligt att dyka! Hoppas att ni inte väntar 4 år till nästa gång!

[@1stelectrncgdgt420]

Geocache revisited! That was how I stumbled across your channel long ago when searching for that topic and have been enjoying your site since. Have also loved the new addition to the crew.

[@tjcaulcutt5094]

Another great adventure. Loved this episode guys. 🤙🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

That was a BEAUTIFUL Dive...I MISS Diving its Been YEARS for me now Last time was also Kailua Kona Hawaii🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ronaldwarren5220]

Awe inspiring

[@selsyn73]

This is a beautiful video you have provided. Thanks for sharing another slice of our world with us.

[@didevrythngrghtndthyindictedme]

Just wonderful as usual

[@davecummings6170]

Nice hat Malin.

[@georgemacdonald8899]

Great video, so nice to see everyone enjoying Bonaire!!! Cool underwater video, nice group of blue tang!!!

[@HDXBear]

Fantastic vid and Vera looking cool with her shades on . All the best from Canada

[@lorenenoe4472]

Great episode, thanks from south Florida.

[@UziRyder1]

Beautiful place. The water looks amazing.

[@joshy0369]

Very nice you guys

[@braddobson2060]

A very good episode Thanks for sharing

[@christopherward4272]

The diving is great! Those Lionfish look amazing! Nice video

[@dorianzittle7710]

I have enjoyed your videos and I like the adventures and the exotic scenery Thanks so much for sharing this with the world. Hello from Dorian in Houston Texas

[@327365hp]

Beautiful video!

[@arkansasboy45]

Great dive footage!!

[@dalejohnson3520]

If you can make it back to the Paciic Northwest you should go diving there as you would find it a really special place to dive.

[@frankd2301]

Yes but so cold.

[@mmccartney6579]

I love you guys, and your videos! Your daughter reminds me of my daughter when she was Vera's age. I am a 77 year old Navy Veteran, and have a request. When you put comments at the bottom of the screen with white letters, sometimes it's hard to read, so...could you please make the letters yellow? Thank you in advance! Cheers!! :)

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching and for the kind feedback! 😊👍 We’ll try to make the letters more visible in the future. Cheers!

[@jmsask]

👏🍻

[@cliffstevenson5773]

Does the donkey sanctuary have a neutering program? This appears unsustainable. Good vid as always.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Beautiful underwater scenes..... the donkey sanctuary occupants have pretty much stripped their paddock ..thats an awful lot of donkeys to cater for on such arid ground.

[@JohnJohn-cu7nk]

👍

[@curacao11]

cool :-)

[@timmoore7282]

Hi, Love your videos and your sweet family. Vera with the round sunglasses, so cute! Question, what size and length of chain do you use for your dinghy? Thank You!

[@nessuno1948]

Most of our children whould be afraid or their parents would be afraid of the animals. They do not know what an animal is in real life.

[@SADIK19631963]

👍🧿

[@JonMadsen70]

:)

[@richardbelouski3668]

If I was gonna sail with anyone I know it would be you guys you know what you’re doing how do you stop

[@duartemonteiro7463]

😀🏝🍧

[@MiQBohlin]

Do I get this right: you didn't do a digital logg in to the geocache this time? Only analogue in the logg-book?

[@chrisstephen4563]

There looks to be a lot of damaged coral there 😢

[@dav1dsm1th]

:-)

[@guymanges3628]

You know I don't know you guys last name...

[@robertinnes9741]

Just wondering, can Vera speak English as-well. ?

[@Atti19216]

Out of curiosity do you guys ever get branded as bad parents for having Vera in such a small living space? My husband and I were thinking about trying the tinyhouse lifestyle (we have 3 kids) and we're worried it might cause some blacklash from our family for putting our kids in a tiny home.

[@andre1987eph]

Diving sounds like a great hobby you can take anywhere. 22:05 you didn’t leave little Vera in car by herself 🥲
