Jet Set Sailing in Little Sweden - Ep. 49 RAN Sailing

[@robfraley4210]

Very interesting story of the island AND about Johan working there for a season. And Yes, That’s a very special airport there, more “Selfies” have been taken on that Hill/Road were the planes come over 8:33. than you can count...!! Best of all was 9:49 Johans story of his first time there. 😎👍✅

[@jimjenkins673]

Nobody does it better than RAN and her fantastic crew. ,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,fair winds.

[@CITAP1]

Those super yachts are something aren't they. Liked the guy roped at the top of the mast to get a size perspective. Take care you two.

[@RANSailing]

CITAP1 They are so cool! It takes a person that are not afraid of heights to go up that mast 😊 It was the highest one in the whole harbour!

[@pauljenson8042]

All the comments are 2 years old ! Glad I could bring the comments up to date. What wonderful videos you create . You guys are awesome.

[@allsearpw3829]

A heavenly place with a heavenly airport ,and if the plain does not stop ,the last view is heavenly

[@clarkdouglas6517]

Aha! At 4:30 the yacht (blue paddle board, blue fenders) over Johan's right shoulder I helped build. It is a 65' Pacific Mariner built in Laconner WA. We dock-shipped almost every one we built to the Florida area, where they spread throughout the Caribean.

[@meganote]

It’s good to see those very rich folks putting their money into cool racing yachts! We get to watch and you never know when they’ll need crew! Love your videos. Most of those rich folks will never see the wonders you guys are enjoying.

[@richardshippful]

Nice shots of the Maltese Falcon during the race. Great video.

[@RANSailing]

Richard Shipp Such a cool boat!

[@nwfloatplaneflyer2]

Loved this episode, and a big thanks to always including a little historical perspective in your videos. Each one is getting better. Please keep up your enjoyment of making them. Your audience will continue to grow and appreciate because of it!

[@RANSailing]

Alex and Joy Stewart Thank you so much guys! 😃

[@hdaviator9181]

That sailboat "Heroina" translates to "Heroin". Must be some fun parties in that boat.

[@zennmomma2801]

I'm just catching up on old episodes as I just spent 2.5 months in hospital with poor wifi... and I must say again how amazing you two are! Thank you for taking me along virtually on your adventure as I am too sick to do so myself. Your videos are stunning and just the right balance of sailing, exploration, education... much love and thanks to you both!!!

[@garygerard4290]

'another beautiful video - thank you the place is so Clean - in America there is trash blowing around everywhere A Swedish friend came to visit and commented on the trash - he said in Sweden you never see it - never a cigarette butt or bum on the sidewalk I often think of that when watching yours and other sailboat videos of pretty, tropical islands stay safe and keep on sailin'

[@Every_Day_Adventure]

You have lived a charmed life Johan.

[@LifeatSixKnots]

Very cool story. Too bad they had just left. It is always cool to see an old acquaintances after that amount of time. Love how you give the history of the places you go.

[@TitusLivy777]

I love your videos. You are such pleasant, likable people, and you visit the most interesting and beautiful places! It's a real pleasure to spend a little time with you during each of your videos. Please keep having wonderful adventures together...and please let me occasionally watch over your shoulder as you do!

[@RANSailing]

TitusLivy777 That makes us so very happy. Thank you so much! 😃

[@briantotten6038]

Great video, I like the super yacht racing; and it was cool to see the Maltese Falcon out there racing.

[@andypennybrown6848]

I think this is one of your best videos! Enjoy and wishing you fair winds

[@nheeren1]

I could not believe the size and number of super sailing yachts! Awesome throwback story. Great video. I love them and you guys so much.

[@budawang77]

Another great video. So many youtube sailors are cruising the Caribbean that I was getting a bit tired of it. All those super yachts are a bit tacky and I can't help thinking how that money could be better spent solving the numerous problems on this planet. Nonetheless, you guys have a way of making your videos really personal and enjoyable.

[@MsPdog1]

Best channel on KZbin!

[@RANSailing]

bob smith Thank you SO much Bob! 😃

[@davidmoreno7]

My favorite episode so far! You're getting really good with the production and connecting with us viewers, can't wait for the next episode. Cheers

[@RANSailing]

David Moreno Thank you so much David! 😊

[@ecase727]

Anouther great video, i follow a number of sailing channels but you do such a great job with the video work and story telling much more of a travel channel than the others I think. I was in St Bart's a number of years ago (we flew into THAT airport), you really did a great job capturing the feel of the place. Please keep them coming and enjoy the warm (soon to be HOT) weather.

[@austingode]

How it has changed since I went there as a 15 year old in 75 .....I can't say for the better it looks like st tropez and the environmental impact from so many yachts must be very high but at least hopefully the locals are making a decent living.As a young guy I had never seen such beautiful girls !

[@52rajesh]

LOL really you are right Sweden has made a mistake very beautiful Island and Thanks for nice another informative episode. Enjoy

[@pateallan7764]

WOW !!! top notch video again. I've never seen St. Barts like that. Your lucky that turtle didnt take your finger off. I know the snapping turtles from Louisiana would have taken it off at the knuckle. Be careful. Also, hitch hiking can be dangerous too. You never know if some crazy sailor on a moped might want to pick you up. Yall have fun.

[@normanboyes4983]

I always look forward to your films. I am never disappointed and enjoy each and every one.😀👍⛵️

[@JohnErlebach]

Yay, RAN Sailing have another video up and, as usual, it is a good one!! Lovely scenery on this island. Thanks very much!!

[@MichaelPaulHenderson]

Fantastic episode guys. Really liked the Martin Landh groove.

[@donjohnston3776]

Very nice all-round story of your visit. Thanks for sharing.

[@psychman555]

Awesome video. Those super yachts are quite impressive; wow! I can always dream....

[@moz1953]

[@MartyD4u]

Great video, you guys are always 1st class, always educational and informative.

[@antonnikolaevich2512]

Hello Raspberry And Johan congratulations on winning your hockey team, the game was very interesting, our team also won, and today is a holiday, Hooray.

[@RANSailing]

Sergey Petrovich Congrats! We didn't watch the game but nice that we won 😃

[@antonnikolaevich2512]

RAN Sailing)))))

[@randyc2500]

Great videos. I just finished your entire series this week. I wish you all the best. Fair winds and following seas!

[@finneysimon]

Very nearly caught up with all your excellent vlogs after coming across your channel recently. Your style, content, and vision have been a delight. I look forward to your continuing travels. Little highlight from this episode was seeing the famous 'Maltese Falcon' sail by. Keep up your great work.

[@BillConnely]

Thank you for sharing always look forward to your videos.

[@laurentfroggy6631]

[@HopeOfJoe]

F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. EPISODE you guys !! 😊👍👌⛵️ ⚓️ ⛵️ ⚓️

[@closer71]

I lived in St. Maarten for six months around 2003-2004 and loved visiting Baie de St-Jean but I prefer Shoal Bay East, Anguilla and Scilley Cay!

[@dnihilist]

Just started watching you guys, very easy to watch and interesting at the same time. Keep up the good work. PS. You do know who built Heroina himself right? Very interesting history.

[@andersjakobsen9906]

Ha ha.. guess you didn`t know they can take off your finger. Turtles don`t only eat salad. They are meat eaters ;-) Learned it the hard way me self ;-) AND,-they are SUPER fast when thy are in water.If you feed them chicken or something. Love your chanel. Greetings from Norway

[@esch4223]

Danke!!!

[@mermaidsurfer]

Enjoying your adventures. Will you two be heading towards the pacific next? You guys have a great channel and a winning formula.

[@RANSailing]

Matthew Plummer Thank you Matthew! Yes we're heading towards the Pacific 😊

[@sm6wet]

Dont miss Cook Islands and Aitutaki, Suwarrow, Palmerston, Manihiki, Pehnryn.

[@matias_calypso]

Penrhyn is awesome!

[@dalehutton2771]

Hi from New Zealand, love the videos, keep them coming please. Would love to see RAN sailing in New Zealand. Is this in your future plans? Fairwinds.

[@oneswede160]

Ni är bäst!

[@garygerard4290]

and thanks for listing the songs you have in the video

[@sm6wet]

My favourite sailing channel. Thank you for sharing again. PS. Dont call it St Barths, only Americans do that. Swedes call it St Bartholomy.

[@requin13]

big mistake from sweden hahahaha !!!!! juste a laugh from a french sailor, love your swedish spirit videos in the same time !!! fair winds

[@moejaime2654]

Thumbs up guys !!

[@airmagic2199]

Good Stuff!

[@bengt_axle]

Johan looks just about the same as he did 17 years ago! Another wonderful video. But poor Shabby. He is always trailing behind and apparently getting a bit beaten up by it. Now he has let go of his passenger seat. Maybe he needs to ride on deck.

[@RANSailing]

8638marc Maybe a bit older 😉 Shabby is doing fine when he's trailing behind RAN. The distances are pretty short. But he's old and apparently we are too heavy so the seat part broke 😊

[@Bd210bro]

I absolutely lost it at the part of the story where the dog ate your money. So funny now, but glad you were alright back then.

[@michaeldouglas6872]

Looks amazing..do you guys ever worry about swimming from the beach in places like St Barts, although so beautiful, with so many sailing yachts and motor yachts out on anchor and not so far from beach, just wondering what the black water discharge policies are in places like this and is is something that you have both had any issues with in anchorage areas.

[@tiamaria2241]

I am not scared I would LOVE to visit the island, may be my mom will take me sometime! Saba too!!! Today I studied how planes fly and friday it will be on youtube (the 2nd part) I'M SOOOO excited to see your next video 😍❤😍❤😍

[@RANSailing]

Anna M So cool Anna! Thanks for watching 😊

[@tiamaria2241]

💕❤😍💕

[@mrdave22]

thanks for sharing

[@benc65753]

One person already said it, you can never go back. Nothing is ever like you left it. I've heard of dogs eating everything under the sun but this is a first for me hearing about dogs eating cash. lol.

[@matsb44]

Kul att följa Svenska seglare :-)

[@fillg]

When you put your finger in front of that turtle I was sitting here telling you he was going to bite you but apparently you didn't hear me. :)

[@Pfsif]

At 9:42 i believe that's Eden Rock resort owned by the fiancé of Pippa Middletown.

[@cathyt502]

Interesting. There's an Eden Rock on Grand Cayman too.

[@RANSailing]

Pfsif That is Eden Rock. When Johan worked as a cabinet maker he actually made some work for the hotel 😊

[@Pfsif]

Wow, thanks!

[@morpheq]

at 6:51 is that SV Delos out to the right? That white sail looks like their sitting buda..I love your adventures and live thru your travels!! Please keep up the great work and have a wonderful safe journey!

[@RANSailing]

Chris Hubbard Thank you so much! No, it wasn't Delos. They were in South Africa at that time.

[@oliverdjurle711]

3:20 var det en h-båt? Kul att höra Johans historia om att få jobb som tapetserare, men måste man inte vara väldigt noggrann? :)

[@RANSailing]

Oliver Djurle Jag tror det är en IF-båt. Jag jobbade som möbelsnickare och noggrannhet är helt klart ett måste 😊 /Johan

[@youtubist8940]

Tyckte också att det såg ut som en IF. Kul med en sådan i Gustavia.

[@filipviljamaasvensson]

Hej Malin och Johan! Tack för sköna videos, drömmer mig bort... en dag händer det! :D Och på tal om det, vad kostar det att ankra i St Barths?

[@RANSailing]

Tusen tack! :) Det kostar 10 Euro/natt för att ankra. Ha det fint!

[@romo5452]

600 hundred dollari!! fantastico ha ha

[@barbroevanderlindquist4128]

Hej! Vad har hänt med fokus ?! Barbro, Skåne

[@seanmulligan1339]

Fab didn't know any of this I thought giving Norway away was slightly mad.maybe hairdressing and carpentry are the best skills to have on these journeys, any tips for seasickness malin what works for you

[@RANSailing]

sean mulligan I've found that Dramamine works best for me when I'm seasick! /Malin

[@barbroevanderlindquist4128]

Ja!Nu är det ok, väldigt fina klipp och jag förstår att det är mycket arbete bakom varje film ! Barbro Skåne!

[@qristv1912]

fun stuff

[@hommie789]

It makes you think what were governments thinking when they pass on beautiful places like this. I am from Canada and the islands of Turks and Caicos have asked to join Canada three times and all three times our government has turned them down. Sad as the people would welcome the islands for sure but idiot bureaucracy gets in the way of sound judgement.

[@Grandpacarlreacts]

17 years later and still a broke ass Sailor. LOL. It is a good life. Wealth is not measured in money but in good memories. To bad you missed your friends. It just shows there is no going back! Life only moves in one direction. Move with it.

[@ProjectManaia]

Grandpa's Farm Goes Sailing well said (or written). there is no going back but really, who would like to, the life at sea seems so much more appealing ones you get used to ot

[@swiftadventurer]

...no snapping turtles in Sweden I guess. Jeez, on this side of the world we'd never put a finger in front of a turtle's face! Ouch!

[@EZ2CRUISE]

If they get to south Florida I would suggest they don't try that with our turtles.

[@RANSailing]

Haha! I will keep that in mind... :-) Cheers!

[@SailingTranquilityBay]

Great story... that was one expensive dog.

[@Mahalo_83]

Hiccups? 😁

[@BRZZ-xw4hd]

cool

[@betty-loucreamer112]

How did you two meet?

[@urabus7875]

nice

[@davidlester6673]

Did you offend the tortoise 17 years ago. It came straight for you mouth open lol.

[@cicco1838]

High 5 you guys

[@thatdutchguy2882]

C'mon we Dutch traded New Amsterdam now New York for Surinam,....and we don't have Surinam anymore now either. But we do still have Aruba, Curaçao, Bonair, Saba, St Eustace and St Maarten, so that's something atleast. So, loosing one Island isn't that bad Sweden,...we Dutch lost Indonesia, Bali, Timor, Sri-lanka, Papua New Guinea, South-Africa, etc, etc. We even had a bit of territory in Brazil, China and Japan one's. You'll get over it,....we did 😆.

[@brianpaul21]

Where is the comment from "yessica"? !! She must be pissed she let it all go!!!

[@RANSailing]

Brian H. We're good friends and she follows our travels now! /Johan

[@antonnikolaevich2512]

Malin in Russian sounds like "malina" is raspberry

[@rockinpiano1]

Well.........you guys wanted comment so I'll give you some more of my worldly knowledge.(;>) Something I've found as I've went through life is it's not the job you miss, it's the people you worked with.(Although I enjoyed the different jobs I've had) Another thing and perhaps the most important one in a persons life is finding the right life-mate. If you get the right one, they're worth a billion dollars to you, but if you get the wrong one, they'll make you so miserable that you'll wish you were dead.(I found the right one the first time around)(:>) Now for some comments about Swedes. The Swedes I grew up & went to school with were some of the hardest working people I've ever met. Quality people that were extremely hard headed when it came to doing things a different way!(;>) Swedes are also extremely smart and creative. Take the super silent sub they came up with or the Saab Viggen(old) & the Gripen(new)plus they make some of the damnedest armaments that armies use around the world.(Bofors 57mm MK3 or my favorite off-highway ATV, the Bv 206 All Terrain Carrier!)(;>) Now a little music from one of my favorite Swedish bands!(;>) I'll give ya some Mickie Muster next time!!!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6Tch2p4gs6Kp9E

[@getinit56]

You wouldn't do that to a mud turtle here in the states. Take that finger off for you.

[@RANSailing]

Getinit 56 Ouch!

[@getinit56]

A turtle has a reputation that really doesn't befit it. Those things are real predators. In our lakes and streams here. They may seem slow and unassuming on the surface but they are cunning and powerful hunters in the water. A couple snapping turtles can wipe out a small ponds fish population in just a lil bit and they have a hell of a bite. .... I have to add, The turtle I am talking about is at least 3 to 4 times larger than that turtle. They also cook very well in their shell. lol.

[@lalagulutmankhail]

hay watch out these turtles can snap your finger in a second carefull
