Nooo! Our Drone is LOST at Sea! 🌊 - Ep. 249 RAN Sailing

[@msilvatone]

Finally! A sailing couple that has great taste in music! Thank you!

[@RANSailing]

Glad you like it! 🤗 It takes a lot of time to find music that fit well with the footage and gives the right feeling. Music can do so much!

[@deraneaton2576]

@@RANSailing When those 60-knot-plus storms come, Wagner's "The Flying Dutchman" came to mind as Johan braved the wind to film a whitecap-churned harbor -- dramatic. Music creates the mood. I wonder what music might fits the May 2021 National Geographic pp 26-27 article of the south polar "iceberg alley" floating a giant iceberg -- as big as South Georgia Island -- nearly colliding with that island. Good thing Johan and Christian didn't encounter anything like that during their voyage there.

[@dickenscider7328]

I hate jazz!, but like Ran

[@prex345]

I'll say it again, this is the best monohaul on KZbin. You two have put together a fantastic boat.

[@tigersharkzh]

*monohull...

[@herbertsusmann986]

I agree. Something about your personalities and lifestyle is really nice!

[@cmoreoverland6739]

Totally agree. I'm in love with the Amel 50 but this Naiad is spectacular...

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

I remember that drone, it filmed my intro video!!

[@RANSailing]

Haha! That’s true! Curaçao! Hope all is well Barry. Cheers!

[@gorway7]

As always, stunning episode. For the last year I've been blown away by the beauty of your amazing Sweden, and the way you present it to us in film and narrative is a cinematic joy I look forward to every week.

[@richardmathew8817]

A trick: watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@owenmatteo9527]

@Richard Mathew yea, I have been using Flixzone} for since november myself :)

[@billb.6109]

Your drone has served you very well, and we are sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing. Safe travels.

[@chukwow5738]

Imagine Vera, sitting with her grandchildren (on Mars?) showing these incredible vids showing the environment that she grow up in. Imagine if our parents could show us this kind of vids from the 50’s or 60’s. I know absolutely nothing regarding future. I am however, convinced that Vera can proudly show her childhood to the grandchildren❤️

[@johnrichard6802]

Those carvings were incredible. And, the time lapse ending was beautiful. Great episode.

[@miketcq8]

Sorry for your loss of the drone, but I love the time-lapse at the end..

[@peterculverwell2030]

Agree, that time-lapse was exquisite and the small drone footage was not too shabby either 👌👍

[@betty-loucreamer112]

Those carvings are so amazing you must feel very blessed to sail to all these historic places!💞🇨🇦

[@justsomeguy6474]

A burial at sea is a fitting end to your long time companion. Fair winds and following seas.

[@2212db]

I shouldn't laugh, but the look on Johan's face @12:35 😂

[@pastorjerrykliner3162]

I had exactly the same thought!!!

[@RANSailing]

We’re laughing too 😂

[@mhensen1]

Wilson!! Wilson!!!

[@johncrisp6683]

It was funny. Time to have a MOB drill. Oops, I take that back if they don’t float.

[@deraneaton2576]

Must have been the salt fog or some tin whiskers in the control data link -- one reason I at least conformal coat my electronics if they will be immersed. In every mishap, there is opportunity to recover: roboticsbiz.com/7-best-waterproof-drones-with-camera-in-2020/ Some of these swim as well as fly. Then if it crashes, one can practice crew overboard drills as John Crisp suggests. 😂

[@cschexnayder2517]

“I guess it was tired of flying around”. I laughed hard at that. Sorry for your loss. 😂😂😂😂

[@tomjones6777]

WOW such great stories you tell, greatly appreciated. It also has been fun to watch Vera grow. Thanks for your videos.

[@fransdriesen1311]

Very nice video with nice sailing footage..Had to be quite a thrill for Hakan to see his "tuned" rigging work in action..

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Frans! We think he enjoyed the sail 🤗

[@ricardoarohenapagan9149]

I congratulate you both on your music selection in this episode. Your video editing skills are as alluring as cinematic. Sorry on the lost ($$$$$) drone!

[@NELLIE3588]

So much history written on the rocks that we who live on the other side of the Atlantic never see. Thank you for bringing it to me/us. 😎⛵️The Mossback sailor.

[@tonyheaton4941]

The Americas have petroglyphs as well.

[@gilheuss7830]

I have been in your country a few times. Your tour last summer and now seeing the island just shows me how much I missed, Beautiful scenery.

[@dennybarlau8065]

As always Great Show Denny from Minnesota

[@gingin21jr]

Friday again😎 little cute Vera day.

[@MrPaulcm1]

Oh no, so sorry you lost the drone. Some great places to tie up to and enjoy and those marks of time are amazing. Great vlog thanks very much.

[@delukxy]

Farewell old drone. You travelled the World and saw sights we will never see. Buried at sea. RIP.

[@eldridgerawls4983]

Ran Sailing. The best sailing vlog on youtube . And I am a sailor in the USA in North Carolina .

[@haighaj]

Wow transiting the canal looks great, sorry to hear about the drone but it sounds like it had a good life, may it rest in its watery grave

[@jandradventures]

Yikes! Always worried about ours landing in the water! At least you got 6 years out of it!

[@Tomm9y]

If I'm correct that drone provided you with spectacular footage, particularly in Alaska. Combined with great editing and Martin Gauffin's music, you created memorable videos.

[@JustMe-pp1mp]

Correct indeed. The shots that the drone captured in Alaska were simply magnificent. As were the shots of Ran I when under sail. Johan and Malin made excellent use of that little (but expensive) piece of plastic.

[@edmonddesbiens]

New drones have gotten much better

[@MonkPetite]

Ran on rails .. what a glide you guys had .. fantastic. Perfect 👌 . Sorry for the drone. It’s a bummer thats is gone awol . Your face expression was telling it all. NO GOOD and holy .., marked the end. I laughed about your remark after . “ it was tired tired flying with is and wen’d suicidal. Time for a new one .. Good spirt .. thanks for sharing

[@H-Travels]

Love it that you were soooo cool about loosing the drone! Unfortunately, occasionally bad things happen; however, this means that you can buy an even larger drone which goes much higher for those amazing shots! 😅 Cheers, J&D

[@jimbowen5504]

Love the way you speak English, these vids are awesome, I,m English and couldn’t imagine trying to make a movie in another language, thank you all, great content.....

[@salnichols94805]

Once again, I’m green with jealousy. Such amazing cruising grounds, all to yourself on the shoulder season. Pity about the drone, but at least it didn’t try to take over Ran.

[@luisribeiro8214]

I love the time-lapse at the end.. tks Porto Santo

[@tree4408]

Sweet rock history! I have done much reading on the Northwest Passage and early history of your home area! Thankyou for creating newly educated spaces in my brain. Thanks to a sweet Swedish family.🤠

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you guys for 249.

[@prof.heinous191]

RIP your drone - a lot of good pictures over the years! (Glad you've got a spare...)

[@thatguy2408]

Love that last shot. Sorry to hear about the drone. But it served you well.

[@teamdas3dstudio368]

Really nice shots yet again. Very impressive. Thank you. Sorry about the drone & welcome to the club :-(

[@peterwest3379]

It will be fun when you get out to sea again now all the videos are very similar and the first time I start to get a little tired, too bad. The boat seems to be absolutely wonderful anyway.

[@lets_go_see_]

There s a drone that lands and takes off in water. You do have a hearty family. A true Norsemen spirit.

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Sorry for the loss of the drone, we were blessed by great videos , but the small drone also is great . Safe travels ⛵️⛵️⛵️😘

[@joseroldan7392]

Lovely carvings on the rocks.

[@larssolem2507]

Stunning timelapses from a fantstic group of islands

[@andreboudreau6474]

The timelapse footage was magical! Those islands look really amazing!

[@kevincarey1076]

Another great episode guys, Tack så mycket. Stay safe and look forward to more adventures with you. Fair winds and following seas RAN.

[@dave.willard]

Wonderful video! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with all of us.

[@smulismuli7976]

Love it how uncluttered your deck is 👍

[@frankd2301]

8 knots boat speed with dry decks. 👍🏼

[@jackyotes3189]

Johan, finally something dramatic happened. RAN become to perfect lately. No usual sailing mishaps Just a beautiful Boat in a perfect weather and we sailors know better. Love. Capt. Jack

[@garyfroeschner2523]

Great video

[@RoyClare]

Drone woe ….. farewell faithful friend. 😥 Great video tho …. 👍🏼💯💥

[@ps4peace]

Sorry about the drone & thank you for another stunning video!!

[@ldirk58601]

A nice burial at sea. RIP drone, thank you for all the amazing sights you have shown me over the years. I am content to see the night time lapses. Incredible!

[@jameswesthart5873]

Sweden is a marvel. Love this sailing channel and family!

[@billmeldrum2509]

So sorry to hear about your lost drone. You guys sure live in a spectacularly beautiful country. 🇨🇦

[@vraymond108]

So sorry about the drone. Time to get a better one. I hope Vera’s teeth come through soon so she can feel better. I am grouchy too when my teeth hurt. Looks like Spring is finally coming to Sweden. Now if we could only be allowed to come to Norway we would be really happy.

[@RobertSmith-vk4it]

amazing closing timelapse

[@bryansmith1920]

The pic at 1:04 Reminds me so much of the entrance to the town of Vathy on the Island of Ithaka next to Cephalonia right down o the bright sunlight and the colour of the rock I've had the pleasure of sailing there often

[@trevhedges]

Another excellent episode! Poor Drone.. but Served you well. Thanks guys.

[@ericmeechglobalnetwork2273]

sorry about the drone.... great video!

[@OldManGibb]

WoW, Sorry for the loss of your drone. Awesome video this week, thanks a million. :)

[@RajeshSingh-Bhangu]

Fantastic as always....just loved the time lapse at the end....just amazing 👍

[@Tim8mit]

I keep telling other Cruising couples, who are new parents about that fantastic baby seat you have installed in the cockpit, have any ever gotten in touch with you to find out where you got it. I think the seat is a brilliant design

[@Yorghan]

What a lovely video with such beautiful sceneries. Especially the perfect sailing and the sunset/starrise in the end were really amazing! Tusen takk!

[@stans3920]

You are becoming my favorite sailing endeavor!

[@colinunderdown1758]

You are certainly showing us some good site's, that sunset was awesome.

[@atir4u]

Those rock carving s are so interesting and beautiful 😯

[@jimjenkins673]

The sailing footage......no words.....

[@philipwatson7883]

Lovely images guys. Not watched in a while but nice to catch up. Stay safe and God Bless

[@agesolari]

Beautiful place

[@moz1953]

another wonderful vlog, drone loss apart, stay safe XxX

[@papamarkw]

Another wonderful episode.

[@ABeriault]

Perfect RAN video! Reminds me your Alaska trip Cheers

[@oldskull70]

Very nice sailing ! Beam reach is the best ! Don’t be sad about your 1st drone ! Eric Aandera from NBJS already lose 4! Hahahaha It’s amazing all kind of natural harbors you have !

[@keithh3463]

you have a beautiful boat!

[@michaelkruger7022]

Sorry for the loss of the drone. But great pictures again

[@HopeOfJoe]

Beautiful scenery and amazing history. It is truly fun to imagine how sailors managed in 1512. Thank you for easy flowing vlog and sensible music (my white hair must be showibg🤭🤣). Bummer with Vera and her new teeth. ✨ 🌊⛵️🏝🌞✨

[@thejerseylady1]

Oh dear so sorry to hear about your good old drone. Hope Vera's ouchie teeth come through soon so she can feel happy again. Take care God bless Gloria 🐂

[@mrvertigo23]

6 years and all of those amazing images WOW

[@kathyfendel7967]

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful country and your lovely family with us! I love the historical information as you go along, those rocks were fascinating. PS - I used clove oil on my children's gums when they were "cranky" while teething. That alternated with frozen face wash cloths to chew on seemed to help.

[@geekdomo]

F for Drone. It was an oldie but a goodie. Hope you were able to get a new one. Will tune in next week for sure

[@dreamvideotelevision4540]

The best part was the audio bleep, the worst part was loosing the drone in the sea with good footage on it. The silver lining is you can get a new drone with new features now ;) There may be something transmitting an interference signal on your boat when you are sailing and not while you are docked, or your drone was just broken and you needed a new one anyway. Do they make one that floats? You may be able to make some foam floats for a new one.

[@sfs122450]

Wonderful photography and editing. I loved the day-to-night time lapse, great work. I know you wanted a new drone anyway ....

[@thomassackett4091]

sorry for the loss,but i must admit it was funny watching you react to the develpement....

[@donnakawana]

Awww lil Verapoor wee lass those k9 teeth are painful. My mum called them stomach teeth. An that was true my wee lad cried an was sick to his tummy... It was a beautiful sail whith the rigger an his wife. They both seemed very kind an look like they had lottsa fun✌🏻💗☺️❣️

[@jameswesthart5873]

So well done. This is how.

[@gorway7]

That bow thruster of yours is a beast! I've never had one on any boat I've owned but boats I've sailed with bow thrusters were quite feeble compared to yours.

[@JoseMariaOliveira]

Wonderful episode. Too bad you lost the drone, but it was maybe time to change it anyway. Good winds.

[@dchiffy]

As usual great vid. Love your journey

[@perhennung]

Sorry for the drone but it had decided it was time to go. Wonderful video as always! Keep safe!🙏

[@roberth3094]

For teething babies what works good is frozen water filled plastic rings that babies chew on .

[@annafraley5388]

W O W ... So that was the same Drone you videotaped Barry’s (Old Seadog) sailboat ⛵️ With down in Aruba 🇦🇼 way back when..?? He STILL uses that footage at the beginning and end of his videos 😎👍✅

[@lorenenoe4472]

Nice jazz selection! Shots of bow wake were awesome 👏 Drone suicide, 😂

[@TheTomt50]

"Suicidal instead." I'm sorry, I shouldn't be laughing but Johan's attitude and mannerisms make me smile!

[@rickypalacios1554]

Great like always sorry about the drone .

[@nessuno1948]

A beautiful sailing boat!

[@thatgirl3960]

Poor Vera, hope she feels better soon.

[@sailingprojectalphacrucis3827]

Soo nice 👍🏼❤️👍🏼 weare still on the hard..

[@sheerluckholmes5468]

Johan should carve a vegvísir in those rocks as his mark to denote he was there.

[@magswilliams1216]

Sorry about your kamikaze drone. Maybe it was depressed after the long winter. On the plus side , thanks for your video, it was wonderful.

[@haydenwatson7987]

I saw a rig for flying a mini drone at sea on a different channel. They made a handle that stuck down from the bottom that allowed a one handed catch. the mount was made with carbon fiber and only weighed a few grams and was held in place with rubber bands.

[@mason8997]

You might want to contact DJI and send them the last pieces of telemetry that you received. Could have been a DJI issue especially if you had done a recent firmware update. I had a similar issue with my Air 2 flying erratically for no apparent reason. Finally had to send it in and have them fix the problem. The good news is that the Air 2S is available and it looks like a viable replacement. In the meantime the Mini ain't all that bad in a pinch either! And as far as drone pilots go you are one of the best out there.

[@richardsimpson2599]

Sweden is Jaw dropping !
