Sailing Hawaii To Alaska - Crossing Latitudes - Ep. 114 RAN Sailing

[@geodesy2009]

I’ve made the Hawaii to Alaska passage 8 times since 1958 as a ten year old on my Grandfather’s 72’ Hinckley to 2016 on a Gunboat 55 racing/cruising catamaran. From Loran and sextant to modern GPS w AIS and Radar, it’s a lovely passage. A good windvane system is a silent and efficient friend, especially on a ship of RAN’s size and sea kindly characteristics. A lovely video capturing the quiet joy of passage making.

[@mobiltec]

Your sailing videos are so much different than most others. I actually feel the relaxation you are enjoying when the sails are up, the motor is off and there is nothing to do but relax and take it all in. Thanks for another beautiful 25 minute vacation from every day life.

[@williamdykes2750]

I can now throw away my blood pressure medicine, close my eyes, and replay every minute of this sail in my mind. I think I can live forever. Peacefully. Thank you both. ❤️

[@ascott6804]

Just want to say that this channel deserves big thumbs up from all who watch.

[@paulpence8895]

[@JoseMariaOliveira]

It's nice how you achieve to keep me really interested on "being" with you through what could be a monotonous long passage. I watch these videos with real interest and attraction. Thank you for sharing. Good winds.

[@Timopo]

That video of an ocean passage is as good as it gets. You shared exactly what it looks, feels and sounds like. So so good.

[@txdave2]

I stumbled upon your channel while doing a KZbin search for sailing videos. Your videos have a special quality that I have not found elsewhere. I felt like I was on the boat with you. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@MrPaulcm1]

That must be awesome with just the sound of the wind and the ocean, lovely.

[@pdutube]

Thank you for this nice long relaxing video and I am glad that you saw more whales than garbage!

[@justfly2525]

Thanks for the information on the wind vane. It's nice to attain some knowledge while we travel with you.

[@scotverdin9401]

'not very interesting.' 'No.... OMG!!!!.' Nature does that to you. That was pretty amazing!!

[@regsig7825]

What a peaceful sailing...

[@TERRIBLYBRITISH]

This was magical. I love watching your long trips. Lovely to hear you guys talk about the sail plan and set up of the boat, It's missing in sailing channels these days.

[@buffalobob2002]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I could watch this for hours. It felt like I was aboard. It showed all aspects of off shore sailing. I especially enjoy the day to day activities. Thank you.

[@extremelydave]

Another idyllic sail........... you two make the sea come alive on my screen.......... I can almost smell the ocean......... thanks for sharing!!!

[@HopeOfJoe]

Malin and Johan. A most comfortable and quiet vlog for you two ... and for us. Totally loved it as this sail brought back soooo many memories of my family sailing in our 36' sloop on 30 days summer vacation in upper Maine/ lower Canada on the east coast of the USA. . Thank you both. 😊

[@BobSmith-zj5lt]

wow, your timing for leaving Hawaii was perfect given the massive hurricane arriving there...God speed.

[@somadevo]

Sure has been a favorable passage. It's great to see how you take major passages in stride as well as all the varying characteristics of places cruised.

[@SailingPardonMyFrench]

You two are a breath of fresh air among all the sailing channels by simply keeping it real. It's a pleasure to watch. Glad to see you on your next adventure after the more challenging times of a few months ago. If you ever come down to Seattle on the way back to Alaska, feel free to reach out, I'll be happy to show you around the area for sailing and more and buy you a beer or two! Safe travels! Oh and you have a new patron ;-)

[@MethosFilms]

Subbed ya 😉 best wishes

[@kicknit79]

Thanks for the great video

[@1guarino]

Another work of art. Thank you!

[@NELLIE3588]

Really good explanation of auto pilot vs wind vane pilot reference pressure on mainsail and drive area of mainsail. There is much to be gleaned from your extensive sailing experience and Molly’s narration/ inner thoughts. You both compliment each other. Enjoy Alaska; I did.👍😎

[@KnotVikings]

Great video as always! So nice to see the dolphins and Ran in the same clip! Looks like you fixed the underwater mount for the camera good! Well done! Fair winds and much love from us

[@arekkaniewski4442]

Great video. It will be a treat to see RAN in higher latitudes. Almost like home for you guys to do some cold water sailing.

[@normanboyes4983]

I am really behind with my You Tube viewing. But also excited that I have a lot of RAN videos to binge watch. Your films are very special and just get better and better. I loved this one!👍

[@brenda_rmohammed4357]

Such an epic adventure, you guys have really grown into true sailors over the past few years

[@andytremlett7511]

One of your best. I feel so relaxed now.

[@karenlaw7685]

Thanks for taking me along...thoroughly enjoyed the ride!!

[@sailingrubyrose]

Great episode you two- thankyou for taking us along! Can't wait for the Alaska videos 🙂

[@eigobike3929]

An absolutely amazing piece of video.

[@shauntoomey3299]

10/10 for that sailing vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@billb.6109]

Thank You for sharing Your adventures, we enjoy them very much.

[@niccat7051]

Nice passage; thanks for the technical information! Always good to hear what you do 👍

[@rerolley]

Glad to see you had some friends traveling with you.

[@frankd2301]

Very calm episode and a true example of passage making

[@SailingSquib]

I read some of the comments and I can agree with all of them, thumbs up

[@rossipop]

Just the best sailing channel .... looking forward to Alaska... much hugs safe sail guys...

[@pkane5472]

Nice kicked back relaxing sail. Ran moves through the water so smoothly, no bounce, no bang....

[@harry-jamescowburn9907]

Hi harry from the UK the sun the sea the wind the freedman now that’s the life and a splash of happiness with a adventure

[@bluewaterdreamin5034]

Another great story guys. Thanks for making. Cheers. Wade.

[@huffster6344]

You have talked throughout your trip about various electronics you have aboard. If you ever need material for one of your videos, a more in depth discussion would be awesome. I am always trying to learn more and I haven't even got a boat.....yet! Great video.

[@charlie.charles]

Really enjoying your journey! Superb!

[@stuartmcmichael5250]

So relaxing watching, great sailing. Thank you so much for sharing.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛵️

[@scarletbegonias2359]

I'm really enjoying your videos, that underwater-cam was a nice touch.

[@moz1953]

so restful and calming - you both have such a lovely vibe, be safe and well

[@steamerAE]

Simply wonderful

[@jochenludewig8857]

Just love it!! So peaceful, looks like you are doing the trip pretty easily, favourable winds and smooth seas....so relaxing! Thanks for sharing.

[@adam8642]

Great reason to turn off auto update during offshore travel. I had never thought of that. Thanks.

[@sagarmatha5361]

Just underbar episode!!

[@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS]

Thanks, Malin and Johan! Great sailing!

[@jackvanderhyde8828]

I feel as I'm there with you on your journey. Thanks for sharing. You and Starry Horizon are my fave YT couples.

[@RANSailing]

That's so nice to hear!

[@billfournier6114]

That was a wonderful video, sharing your thoughts and the different changes you are experiencing. Thanks for sharing!

[@raspillin1]

Just finished a Ran Sailing “marathon “ from episode 1... I’m all up to date.. so I’m glad you uploaded a new vid! Sending blessings from sunny South Florida!

[@kocnn]

Your videos are inspiring, It seems a little late to be sailing to Alaska, yes I know you’re Swedes but cold is cold! I look forward to watching, and Thank you for letting us enjoy your experience.

[@wr7265]

We love your videos and effort. I think the noise from your Ipad is that it does not like your charger cable. Try another or charge direct from USB port. Thanks for all your work.

[@amarieshearer7613]

So pleasant to see you interact with each other, I love how you get excited about sea life. ❤️

[@prmartin7259]

Your videos are so good, I would like to say nobody does it better. Thank you for sharing. 📽🎼🎶⛵👫😀😃

[@RANSailing]

Thanks you so much! 😊

[@georgecrouch8729]

[@stevehofmann9525]

Another fine edition of Ran Sailing. Thank you.

[@allamb4293]

Awesome as always

[@robertkimbrough4284]

Beautiful to hear from sailors about their thought process on a voyage like this it really does make you understand what it takes to sail such long distances! ,,,,,,/),,,,,,

[@dianalmehnert5599]

What an awesome voyage!

[@wanambi8553]

Another great video let me dream of the oceans I'll cross in near future. Thanks for sharing. Fair winds Tom

[@MarkBottorff]

Absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for bringing us along. This video was so wonderful to watch. Looking forward to to seeing you get to Alaska!

[@jackbego6571]

Thank you for sharing!

[@edrosenberger6947]

That was a nice relaxing time at sail with you two.....thank you both!!

[@stephensteele3553]

The garbage patch in the Pacific Gyre are really misunderstood by the layman. It's not that there is garbage everywhere, it's that it's much denser there than other places. Also, much of the plastic pollution had been beaten to miniscule particles, and thus are suspended throughout the water column. Frankly, you probably wouldn't even see them without taking a sample.

[@iainlyall6475]

really? plastic beaten into a particles? :-)

[@stephensteele3553]

iain lyall yeah, two main things, the plastics harden and became brittle over time either due to chemical or physical interaction with the environment, and then the wave and current action of the ocean break it up. In fact, the large waste may not be the real problem with plastic wastes, it may actually be there micro particles creating toxicity in the environment.

[@iainlyall6475]

thanks stephen.

[@LazyJacques]

Researcher Angelicque White sums up the public perception issue well: "The use of the phrase 'garbage patch' is misleading. ... It is not visible from space; there are no islands of trash; it is more akin to a diffuse soup of plastic floating in our oceans."

[@windmill1965]

This KZbin channel gives a good overview of recent research findings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Znbckoenmt-GsNU

[@briancliffordsteele188]

Wonderful video again guy´s, i am enjoying the trip as much as you .

[@lozobrown637]

Great vid guys. Thanks

[@rotorgator]

...... you can tell we're not sailors...... I couldn't sleep at night without radar not knowing if we were going to run into a ship or other smaller boat or even a floating shipping container. I was on the MV Carlsontide cruising South of Cuba, North of Jamaica for a few months. Never did get used to it and we had radar ...... best of luck to you both in your sailing adventures.

[@tburt50_]

Love the underwater shots!!!

[@andycarr4847]

The undersea footage of the Dolphins 👍👍👍

[@mariemorrissey9378]

Catching up!👍👍 #LoveRanSailing

[@espowari]

One of the many reasons I prefer Android to Apple IOS is that updates are not locked to the Apple infrastructure. Thank you for the technical update. I live inland and just went to the predictwind website for a free trial so I can look at the weather! Have you seen VentuSky?

[@baynessoundview]

Great episode!

[@zacharyray2985]

Hello S/V RAN,. I certainly enjoyed watching your videos. You guys have a new viewer 🙂

[@wallacegrommet9343]

You need a newer iPad with the lightning connector. My old 30 pin version froze up like yours on a voyage

[@nssdesigns]

Love it! Keep up the good work.

[@johncarlson9653]

Thanks for the great videos, what is your evening watch schedule with the 2 of you? thanks safe travels. Hope you get to Denali and see the mountain.

[@RANSailing]

Mostly 3 hours on 3 hours off... Thanks for watching!

[@squiremon]

Rhythm of the Sea...great song title

[@kirenireves]

This is such a great video... Which one of you is the producer/editor of your videos? Or do you take turns? The tone of your videos is consistent whether sailing or in port. Very relaxing vibe.
