Last Stop Is Seattle - Ep. 144 RAN Sailing

[@scarletbegonias2359]

I always enjoy your episodes and Kenneth's kindness is such a welcome sight. Good people being good to one another, that is nice to see. The wooden boat works are something else, very cool.

[@michaeldouglas6872]

It's pretty easy to see why so many patrons and followers of RAN 's Malin & Johan are so gracious with invites for dinner or dock space or excursions when they come in to destinations like this... a great channel to subscribe to and follow and a very nice and humble sailing couple who make some amazing sailing and travel videos to enjoy.

[@sonnylange3051]

Johan and Malin your videos give me great pleasure each week. You all should consider making a long documentary movie combining all of your travels.

[@timmahaffey4895]

I am fascinated by your story and seamanship. Your photography and editing skills are superb. I can’t tell you enough how much enjoyment I get watching your videos. Thank you so much, you’re wonderful people!!

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much Tim! Some really kind words. :-)

[@dharleyfan1]

I'm so glad that everyone is starting to appreciate your filming and editing style, it's so layed back and calming, yet still so polished and professional looking, your episodes are like therapy for a lot of us I'm sure, and we sure appreciate what you do. Keep up the great work.

[@Whitemoon548]

dharleyfan1 , I totally totally agree with you!, 👍👍

It's always sweet to see Malin's joy in life!

[@dancollier4647]

What a pleasure to hear your stories

[@buffalobob2002]

I have been following you from the beginning. I have always enjoyed your videos and saw the quality develop over the years. I watch a lot of sailing videos and your series on the NW is the best I have seen. Everyone has their own style and I enjoy seeing the different points of view. Yours come the closest to what I look for in a sailing video. I always wanted to live this life style. What made this video special to me as the cozy interior shots. The rain, the heater, cooking, relaxing on the settee: all made me feel like I was there. Just like I had imagined it. Thank you.

[@ocxb]

You two are making friends worldwide!

[@curtismulder1950]

Your host is so kind. A boat slip and a bottle of wine. That is awesome!

[@aregunnulfsen5559]

What an amazing season this has been. Congratulations to both of you, the quality of your production,, planning, seamanship and sailing is so inspiring. I used to be a patron, but I dropped out, because I needed to save up for my own sailboat, and I got it! Thanks to you Malin and Johan. Cheers and tallyhoe 🍻

[@RANSailing]

Good luck with the boat and thanks for the support! 👍😀Cheers!

[@tree4408]

I saw the Seattle Space Needle as you sailed into Seattle! I was up in it a year or two after it was built! I am old! Another nice field trip. Watching many episodes a day to catch up to present day!🤠

Who's giving you a thump down?!?? Can't believe it. Thank you so much for your videos. They are great.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching Carsten!

[@nheeren1]

I actually laughed out loud when I saw 14 thumbs down. I mean who could actually not like every single one of their videos?

[@solarsail56]

Good for Malin tacking the clutch repair. Port Townsend is a magical place and you were fortunate to be able to experience it. Safe travels!

[@pkane5472]

"Thanks a lot Kenneth. Yeah, what a welcome" You guys deserve such welcomes!

[@urlkrueger]

Ahhh! You are in my old stomping grounds and make me homesick. However the last time I was there the area has become so crowded it was not the same and I couldn't live there anymore.

[@TheDrummerboy526]

It's really cool to see you guys exploring my home state!

[@kensherlock6475]

You two sailors are so awesome & pleasant to watch thanks for sharing.

[@MonkPetite]

Nice an other supporter having a table full of sponsorship and goodies. How good can it be if we all take care of each other like that once in awhile. Perfect pictures , thanks for sharing.

[@hunsadersrockinranch]

I absolutely LOVE your Videos. You both are so blessed.

Iv'e never seen a concrete swing bridge before! Wow!

It's less impressive when it gets stuck and you're on a bike trying to get across... :)

[@davidnierzwick2775]

Thanks Ran, for another great season of Adventure and fun😍🙂

[@rssea814]

I often hear those sea lions barking from up on the hill above in Admiral...it's crazy how far you can hear them! Thanks for the wonderful videos, wish I could have made the fika!

[@mikecooper9188]

Love all your videos, especially in these areas that remind me of my summer sailing explorations of Desolation Sound in the late '80's. That experience, and watching you guys, makes me marvel again at the accomplishments of the first [European] explorers like George Vancouver and the Spanish. They managed to map this maze of inlets, sounds and islands using heavy slower, less maneuverable sailing ships, and without benefit of diesel, satellite navigation, accurate charts, downloadable weather updates, tide and current tables and so forth. I think you can only really appreciate what they did after experiencing how challenging it can feel sailing some parts of this region without all those marvels of modern technology. I would love to see the area the way Vancouver did, but honestly wouldn't want to have to do it using the "tools" he had to work with.

[@somadevo]

You do a very nice job of creating these videos. Thank you for sharing your special life with us.

[@rimasmeleshyus6545]

Port Townsend the most a beautiful town in Washington state I lived about two years . Thank you again for the video.

[@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS]

Lovely post, Malin & Johan! Thanks and All The Best to both of you!

True excellence in all respects.👍😀⛵️

Wish i had met you when you were here.

[@barryqueen5174]

So much fun to watch you in places we have been, My Brother and family lived on Lopez Island 28 years, we spent many a summer vacation there. We roamed all the Islands. They lived in Seattle for years where he was police officer, vacations there when kids were all little. So nice to see you every friday, love your adventures, have a nice winter working and home. We live in central Washington, Moses Lake, great spot.

[@prmartin7259]

Thanks so many great videos. You make Fridays the best day of the week.👫⛵🛶⚓⛴😀😀

[@johnqharris]

Great video. Keep up the good work. Really enjoy every one you have made. Best wishes to you both.

More than just a sailing channel.

[@davidb.cutter4631]

Thank you so much for producing such exhilarating videos. The quality of your productions is second to none. We hope your visit to family and friends was wonderful. We look forward to your next production. Dave & Linda M/S Olivebank S/V Banyanda

[@jimreeves9446]

A little late but welcome to my neck of the world. I work as a marine machinist out of the shipyard on the tip of Harbor Island and sail (when I can) out of Shilshoal Bay. Hope you enjoy Seattle. Look forward to all your posts.

[@davidnichols147]

We use to pick up the Straits of Juan de Fuca pilot at there station in Port Townson. From there to Fernadina Beach where company, ARCO refinery was located.

[@bigwallyhdfb]

Thanks for sharing sure enjoy watching

[@jwyzdm]

Nice video as usual. Thanks for the work you do. That dinner they made for you looked great, wish they were my friends.

[@mikeh720]

Another lovely Friday evening with pizza, a beer, and Malin & Johan's latest. I truly love the NatGeo-aspect you put on your videos Malin - so much more entertaining than, "woohoo! new port, new bar!" Really hope I get to meet you two one day, preferably as guests aboard my own vessel/home (a dream yet to be realized)

[@jwright650]

Always enjoy your updates

Have you ever heard the saying “ You can’t see the Forest because of the Trees “ ? I have stood on some of the very same spots as you but I’m able to see things through your eyes that I missed. Thank you so much and I’m going to try and look a little more thoroughly in the future. It’s always nice to go home, hope you enjoy yourselves and keep having fun .

[@kellymckinney5082]

Wow, I just found this channel. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Seattle.

while you are in the states, this is the time to get all your spare parts for your boat. Another great video, I always look forward to a new one.

[@jimmcdonald9244]

Grattis guys for making it to Seattle and the end of another fruitful year on the seas. Have a great Christmas and New Year holiday at home and we'll see you when you get back!

Another delightful episode! Hope you got to visit Larsen’s Bakery in Ballard. It’s where I go to satisfy my Danish and Swedish heritage sweet treats cravings!

[@vraymond108]

You know how to make us homesick for our old stomping grounds. We did our first refit in Port Townsend in 2012 but at the Hudson Point area near the Maritime Center. If you need sail work or rigging help Carol Hasse and Brion Toss respectively can not be beat. They are know worldwide. Brion has written most of the definitive boats and rigging, knots and rope work. You will have to pass that was before you can so south again so there is another chance to visit that historic and charming town. Enjoy your skiing. Snoquamie is a fun area. Also up near Bellingham on Mt Baker there is more great skiing. We have not skied Crystal Mt. so can’t comment on it. Enjoy.

Very well said! (I'm a kiwi too, and just pressing the 'like' icon didn't cut it!) An awesome couple living their dream and enjoying the places and cultures they encounter. That's the way the world should be.

It was sad to see you back in a gloomy metropolitan / industrial part of the USA after your magical voyage down the coast from Alaska and BC. Port Townsend looked nice.

Great videooo 😍😍😍 Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴 💖

Another peaceful and beautiful vlog !! You two keep turning out great and (mostly) relaxing videos. Nice on a quiet Sunday evening. . Have been to Port Townsend many times and our oldest son lives somewhat close. One of our favorite spots when visiting up there. You must try Dungeoness Crab. It is the best. . Kenneth has to be a very special follower. A nice treat when away from home. \😊👍👌👊🤘⛵️🚣⚓️✨🍷✨

[@EngineerK]

Not sure if its the same laws in the US but in Canada the foreshore up to high tide is public property and anybody is allowed to go there regardless.

[@sp10sn]

It's so, so different in the US and there are distinctions by state. In WA, the shores are private to the low tide mark. Mileage wise, I think forestry and fisheries own the most of Washington's coast line.

[@larryg3326]

Having grown up in Oregon, it was a shock when I learned that beaches were often private in Washington & California. Oregon's beaches are public to something like highest high tide line and access must be available from the land side. We are wonderfully spoiled. Thank you for another beautiful and interesting video.

[@richardnwilson]

In the state of Maine property owners have certain rights in the intertidal zone in front of their property. The only time you can go in the intertidal zone is if you're fishing or hunting with a license in season. Any other activity is not allowed unless the property owner doesn't mind. How's that for a value judgment? However If you wash up on the shore in distress on or from a boat you are not breaking the law. The Maine coast is beautiful though although it is hard sometimes to find a place to get ashore. It really has to be public land or uninhabited areas. thanks for another wonderful video!

[@FromAboveAndBeyondChannel]

Haha only the 2 minuts left, nice food you got there. :-)

[@BobSmith-zj5lt]

hi guys. lovely video. Question, why is there the huge lag in posting videos, almost 3 to 4 months? where are you at this time in March? take care and all the best in your voyage. cheers👍👍

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching Bob! The lag is because we’ve been having so much video material from Alaska and BC that we wanted to show. But we’ll catch up again closer to real time during the coming months. Cheers!
