OMG Is This Real?! - Ep. 86 RAN Sailing

We don’t think this videos need any explanation. It speaks for itself. Sit down comfortably and enjoy this little piece of paradise in Guna Yala (San Blas).
This is the guide book we use: amzn.to/2HvilA9
We are a Swedish couple who wanted a different kind of life. So we moved aboard our sailboat RAN, a custom built aluminium Beason 40, untied the lines in the middle of the Swedish winter and started to sail south along the coast of Europe. There is no set route and we will go where the wind and our minds take us.

BEAUTIFUL WATER... BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE... FANTASTIC LITTLE PARADISE...

[@billb.6109]

Johan, you were right, no explanation needed. A very beautiful place in every direction. Oh, and Johan, you should hug Malin everyday, she is your treasure.

[@modden154]

This was the best video I've had the pleasure of watching on your channel. Nice to see the romace between the two of you in such a magnificent setting. You have inspired me to tell my wife that this is where we will be going during a winter in the not so distant future. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@NorbCat]

Johan ~ You’re a whiz at fixing things, and a handsome fellow as well ... but Malin ~ what can I say? You were absolutely beaming with joy and happiness, and more beautiful than ever! You two are very special people and your vlogs keep getting better and better, and your followers love you for it.

[@theshakajournals5113]

Yes. Absolutely beautiful. Been dreaming of the San Blas for 20+ years. The wife and I are about 1 year away from sailing there. Cant wait.

[@AlbertoRodriguez-fv4wz]

🇸🇪 Thank you for sharing your sailing and your love of life 🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️🏆🇲🇽

[@richardjones7984]

Lovely post and I especially liked the yoga on the beach and the drone views. Such a lovely couple working and enjoying life together is very inspiring.

[@karenb8130]

Just beautiful!! I got lost in the quiet and the views. Added to our Bucket List for a future destination. I hope you stayed there at least a week. Y'all are amazing together.

[@chrisphinney6430]

You captured the best of San Blas! I would never want to leave that ancorage

[@horatiobeaker]

Great video. The overhead shots really capture the beauty. I have stayed with the Kuna people in on San Blas. They were so welcoming. It is truly an unique region of Panama.

[@normanboyes4983]

You produced a very beautiful film of a beautiful place and I am sure you will treasure that in the years to come. Thank you for sharing it with us.👍

[@moz1953]

just had to pause the opening shot and take a screen grab for a new desktop background - mother nature looking totally stunning, thanks, as ever, to my favourite Swedes

[@Valden23]

It's very nice to see you both so happy. Thank you.

[@TurbaFilm]

Shure, this is paradise!! And very cool shots from little Phantom again, indeed!

[@ecmunpublished]

Such a beautiful place.....great drone videos!

[@christianbecher1898]

Wow, Beautiful!!!

[@MsRandiCook]

Wonderful video! Glad there are no crocodiles! Just beautiful!

[@teejay7157]

Wow you guys... that is a beautiful spot! You've come so amazingly far from that first winter sail through the stormy north sea. At the time I remember thinking "these guys are crazy!" I don't think you're crazy anymore. Thanks for the great videos, you are both such lovely people.

[@robfraley4210]

A very picturesque, colorful, quiet 🤫 and beautiful island 🌴 from 8:00. Onwards With fabulous drone footage and editing, Just like Everyone else has said and I Agree..!! 😱😳🤭😎👍✅

[@ProteusRising]

We put it on our sailing destination list! Gorgeous!

[@klausbernegger1186]

One of your best videos, just beautiful. More happiness to both of you K

[@TeemarkConvair]

not easy to find the words! and the drone becomes "gods eye". makes it all so much to absorb!! thank you for sharing

[@keynotebushcraft]

I feel great just watching this video; I can imagine the fantastic level of happiness being there. Cool!

[@skippylippy547]

I was mesmerized by the Drone photography of this beautiful place. Very nice video. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@FamilyMadVentures]

What a lovely video! We really enjoy your videos because I always know it's family-friendly and can fill 20 mins with some travel inspiration for kids and all when we need a quick distraction (like the witching hour in the evenings). My 5 yo and I have just watched this and he's now pretending his korv is a banana. :-D

[@slimpickins3425]

Such a beautiful place you have come to! From your freezing start back in Sweden to here , what a incredible journey ! Makes me want to get out and sail the beautiful waters of Long Island.

[@asraharrison]

Drone shots were incredible. I say this it redemption! ... for all the other, ... less than desirable spots earlier. This seems like THE perfect spot to spend some time before dealing with the Panama Canal passage!

[@dtonvista]

Just beautiful, thank you

[@jonathanneethling]

Such a genuine honest loving couple..

[@suzanneouimet6977]

Tempting to stay there forever!

[@garyleonard4009]

Beautiful, amazing, awesome, no words can describe the baeuty

[@KellDogg81]

You guys are awesome! I've been binge watching these vids from the beginning and I'm finally up to this one today. The quality of the vids is the best I've come across for boating vids by a considerable margin! Really, really well done which keeps me engaged. I love Malin's charismatic joie d'vivre (much like my wife), and Johan's stoic confidence in handling crises and skill at repairs and modifications (I wish I were a little better at these). The magic of your relationship is one of the things that makes your vids stand out above all others. It is truly heartwarming!

[@arumrunner]

A big shout out to Highfield for that great dingy so you can explore so much more!!! RIP Shabby

[@MarshaColtonJohnson]

Oh my...stunningly gorgeous! Thank u for showing.

[@ulilupp6490]

Your best episode so far!!! congratulation, You made it!

[@wilfrennecke9501]

WE ARE SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU, YOU LOVELY PEOPLE !!! TAKE CARE.

[@wanderlust101]

What a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing.

[@jochenludewig8857]

Just how good can you guys get at video making???? This latest one is just simply amazing!! This San Blas place must be heaven on a stick....so pristine and natural. Well done once again to you intrepid travellers. I cant wait for the next instalment of your travels. Happy sailing. Alles Gute

[@flybywire5866]

Awesome pictures. Really beautiful!

[@c00lhand2469]

What an amazing spot!

[@SailingTranquilityBay]

We spent two years of our life sailing around Guna Yala. Thanks for taking us back to Coco Banderas! And thanks for not being afraid to mention climate change -- the beautiful islands of San Blas will be the first to go.

[@davebaas6693]

Fantastic video!

[@leepaulin8587]

Beautiful place, thanks for taking us with you!😊

[@praisegod.jesusislord.256]

[@nicholsworth2754]

[@craigperthau9542]

Lover`s Paradise , it showed on your faces lol . Was great to see the cuddle`s and kisses of two ppl in love . Well done thanks for sharing . take care , cheers

[@prmartin7259]

Another beautiful movie, worthy of an Oscar. Thanks so much for sharing. ⛵👫👌🌴🌴🌴🍌🍍🍩

[@000001willy]

I loved this episode. I have to rank it among the best you have produced. Your videography was exceptional. It capture the true mood of what you were feeling. The drone shots were breath-taking. The sea-level shots captured not only the beauty of the islands, the palm trees, the white white sand and the sea but also the wispy clouds, the stunning blue sky and the radiant sun. It's the kind of video that truly transports people to another world and a little slice of your own life, which is confirmed by your words of appreciation for one of the special gifts of life that you are getting to experience. I think back to those cold, grey days in Sweden during the winter months when you started out and all of the sailing challenges you have faced since then. It makes this episode of your life all the more breath-taking. Lucky you. Right now where I live it is -20C with a wind chill of -28C. Oh to be fortunate enough to hope on a plane, fly south and then get on a sailboat and sail away.

[@fxmd932]

Awesome !!!!!!!! wowwwwww........

[@calvinhenshaw2147]

beautiful... hope soon i will have my own boat to see the sights... great video.

[@Whitemoon548]

You are so beautiful guys! Next sailing couple I want to support is definitely you. A big hug from this old and cold Italy 😉 (now it’s about 6/8 Celsius degrees)

[@Jakfilm]

What an extraordinary place. Thanks for another great video.

[@mr.nomadic]

What a amazing journey the both of ye are on and those islands are just out of this world 😀 great vlog

[@onthebeaches]

Love the yoga and workout at the end! What a perfect place to workout. Great vid! THANKS! Ü

[@BernieYohan]

Thank You!

[@rubenspinola802]

Amazing place!!!

[@JimJocrusin]

Thank you for spending the many hours uploading your latest videos. This latest video was truly inspiring to us! So glad to see that you have found so much beauty and have also escaped the bugs! Hope to meet you out there sometime. Jim and Joann

[@sailingseafarer]

I had the pleasure of anchoring there January 2017. It truly was incredible. Thank you for capturing some drone footage to show how beautiful the location is. I believe the lady living on the island is named Rosaletta? They sell their artwork and even have a propane fridge to sell the odd cold beer (thanks to John on Sovereign Grace).

[@KeithSartori]

Looks amazing!

[@SailingTheSpaceBetween]

Say no more that place is gorgeous, Nice video guys hope to watch more of your adventures...

[@cdmm1708]

Kick ass RAN

[@Lillimonstervideo]

I am really speechless. I have never seen before such a amazing and beautiful place!!! If possible I would give you 100 thumbs up. Malin, you are my absolute favorite movie-maker. We love your videos very much. Fair winds (-: Sabine

[@jasonsemenow1745]

Truly Beautiful destination. I love your videos, so enjoyable to blank out everyday pressures and immerse myself in your life each week. Thank you both for having the best KZbin channel.

[@swedishkev]

Hi Guys, Follow the boat have done a similar video lately. Lots of drone footage , Beautiful Islands etc.. But I'm going to say it. This Video is No1 You take the top position. Absolutely stunning filming and out of this world Drone footage. Is there Any top Sailing site that does these films better than you two. No there is not. Are you two quite possibly now the best at it. Very possible indeed. If there is anyone better, I have not come across them . Having the most subscribers does not mean that they produce the best films. You two have proved this.I know its just my opinion. Brilliant !

[@prankishsquire2663]

Having just watched Jamies wonderful Anambas videos. I took away two things. Paradise can be found in many places, several here in Utah even. Secondly when you talk about who's best, isn't it great nobody is really asking you to decide. I mean do you really like raspberries better than apricots? I like Ran and Delos because their experience is like my young wife and I might have had. I like barry Perrins because his life is like mine would be right now if I was there, Barry's my man! I love Liz and Jamie because had my wife not passed, She and I would be just like Jamie and Liz. OMG, I love UMA because Dan is so much like my 27-year-old son. I will always love Kika for taking me to Haiti, with her. I know it would not be the same by myself. On and On and on..... I think Johan might be the best sailor of all of them, but what do I know I'm a burger flipper?

[@donjohnston3776]

Agreed

[@swedishkev]

Prankishsquire l see your point. But l am not rating them on who l like more or who is the best sailor. I'm purely going on the film quality and editing, regardless to who is my favourites

[@followtheboat]

[Liz] We get similar comments, I guess it's horses for courses. Aren't chocolate and chips both great? But I don't know if one is "better" than the other. I'm glad there are so many diverse sailing channels, each with their own story to tell. And it's great to know that viewers are passionate about their favourites. Peace and fair winds!

[@bluenose6795]

Kevin Walker Defo the best around, iv'e watched sailing Doodles and a few others, but love how relaxed and happy these guys are. Nothing gets them down!

[@miket8453]

Beautiful!

[@Nordener720]

When i searched true different youtube sailing videos, i run into you guy's videos RAN sailing. I was hooked from the beginning on your super beautiful photography and the beautiful editing. You made the videos around your trip and but not you guy's in the centre. I really enjoy this series of short movies. I am retired and have a small sailing boat a Saturna 33 Pilothouse at the British Columbia coast, at Quadra Island. I hope you visit our super natural British Columbia Coast, Vancouver Island and up the Broughton. It is not like Palm cladded islands, here you will find 100drs of small and islands and inlets, see bears, wolfs and lots of sea animals, you guy's would like it. Come on the way up here you will be not disappointed. I started viewing video #1 about 4 days ago and now i saw the last episode # 86 and i don't can wait to see the next episode. I thank you guy's to take me with you on all your trips and adventures. Thank you Walter

[@eddies6157]

Wonderful place. What contrast to the snow I just took care of..

[@donjohnston3776]

Paradise for sure ! Far better than -20C here in Ontario, Canada. Nice to have the anchorage and enjoy the little island beside RAN.

[@calmvt]

I love your videos!!

[@cliffcraig5594]

wonderful

[@davidmercer7939]

Simply Beautiful.

[@brainhuge]

Wow. Great episode!

[@oceandrew]

You guys did a fabulous job showing how gorgeous the San Blas were and how you felt while there. Probably the best video on the San Blas since Nike first went there on SV Karl... what? 2 years ago? Gorgeous sea level footage, through the portlight views and drone views brilliantly blended together. It really lifted my heart. Thank you.

[@MJSailing]

Those aerial views of your anchorage are absolutely stunning! I can see why everyone describes the San Blas as some of the most beautiful cruising grounds in the world. And no scaring Malin with crocodiles!

[@FreeUpLife]

Simply Beautiful!:) Awesome place ... Johan, drone shots are amazing ;)

[@pateallan7764]

best drone shots ever. very cool

[Liz] Hi guys, we're both in paradise on opposite sides of the world! San Blas has been on our list for a long time. One day... one day! Peace and fair winds to you lovely people ! Liz, Jamie and Millie. xxx

[@svamandolin3546]

Ran and followtheboat two of my top 5 sailing blogs for sure.

[@RANSailing]

Oh, we've sen how beautiful it is where you are! And there doesn't seem to be a lot of boats? All the best to you guys! Malin and Johan

[@followtheboat]

RAN Sailing There were 6 boats in the whole Anambas group when we were there. And hundreds of anchorages! We saw no-one else for days at a time. You will absolutely love it if you come this way. 3° 14' 55.4496" 106° 26' 45.2394" Peace and fair winds! (Liz@ftb)

[@philipfreeman72]

May you have fair winds.

[@andrewlafleur948]

The drone shots are amazing on this video and the Devil’s River video. I must know: what model type of drone are you using that gets such amazing range?

[@davidgriffith1513]

As usual, your videos are great. I really like your choice of background music. Just the right volume too.

[@MartyBacke]

One of your most enjoyable, relaxing, being there, videos :-)
