Sailing to Paradise and Painful Memories - Ep. 301 RAN Sailing

Join the RAN Sailing crew ~ for livestreams, exclusive content & more
/ ransailing
We set sail from Martinique and sail south overnight to St Vincent and the Grenadines. We’re battling some strong countercurrent but finally arrive in Bequia. Bequia is the biggest island in the Grenadines and we’re anchored in Admiralty Bay in front of the beautiful beach Princess Margaret beach. We go for walks into town and to Lower beach where we get company by a little puppy. Then we meet up with some cruisers for sundowners and pizza. Some perfect relaxed days!
We are a Swedish family who have sailed the world since 2016 while sharing the adventures here on KZbin. Our boat and home is a Najad 440 from 1988. We post a new episode every Friday so make sure to subscribe and hit the bell to be the first to know when there is a new episode!

Ah... I remember the toe accident. That was rough. I can't believe that was 5 years ago. Time flies too quickly.

[@JustSomeTommy]

I'm stunned that it was five years ago. Times goes by so fast. I had to play back and listen if I heard right that it was five years. I would have guessed more like two.

[@dougsrepair1060]

Nice to see you shared some time with Mandy and Alec and meet Levi. We enjoy their channel as well. This island looks beautiful.

Thank You for sharing,...I can't believe it has been 5 years since Malin's accident, that was a difficult time for her. Safe Travels.

[@tjcaulcutt5094]

I still go back and watch the vlogs from 4-5 years ago. Ur channel is amazing and I always look foward to Saturday morning here in Sydney to watch the new videos. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@highvibe4839]

Aren’t they fabulous, food, sailing, scenery, family, and NO AGENDAS.. I followed from there first departure out of Sweden. The Sailing family are on same course, however Juhan is a natural born sailor, Viking! Cheers QLD..

So many beautiful places to behold. Thanks for taking us along.

[@dreamvideotelevision4540]

Yes the very painful toe incident, we remember that, can't believe it was 5 years ago!! Wow. Bet Malin remembers it better than anyone.

[@Warren7111]

Always love your choice of music, especially the smooth jazz…

[@avail1.]

p.s. lovely video trip, and thanks...Peace 🕊

[@nancysharpe1624]

My husband and I enjoy your videos. Thank you for such good content. And from a woman's view, thank you for always being modest in your fashion. 😃 ❤️

[@billjeffery2419]

I remember your accident on your friends boat ,it still hurts too watch it. family time on the beach is beautiful.

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Absolutely beautiful video, thanks for sharing your amazing adventures ⛵️⛵️⛵️💕💕

[@MrBobVick]

Malin sailed those Islands back in the mid 70's so very different today. We live out in the TX country these days and have adopted many a stray dog. Thank you all for showing us how it is today through Vera;s eyes.

[@trevhedges]

Thanks guys!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Happy to see this visit was more enjoyable 😉.

[@Tyler-Hagan-Racing]

That puppy was adorable, my heart broke seeing how good he was with Vera, Thank you for bringing some great memories of St. Lucia from 25 years ago!

[@larrylegg8245]

I think you folks are having fun and enjoying life sailing and relaxing. 😌 😌

[@McTroyd]

I could never go to a place like that knowing there are stray dogs. The minute one of them started following us it would have been adopted. ❤️👍️

[@bengt_axle]

I do remember when Malin's toe got crushed in the hatch! Great episode and so nice to see you back with Vera, who likes show you she can do everything you can!

[@basiaboy]

Oh ouch I remember that you bled forever, I was sure something was broken. That was a great boat at least!

[@donnakawana]

I recall that accident.. I really felt for ya!!But your a team an that is what I recall most!! Vera is beyond adorable!! One day she will Kno the joy of a puppy.... This was a beautiful episode.. I enjoyed it so much. Thanks for sharing your lives with us and Fare winds and following sea's. ✌🏼💗😊❣️

[@JustMe-pp1mp]

Life IS good, IF you're lucky enough to live onboard RAN. Thanks for posting Malin, 'twas an excellent 17 minutes. :-)

[@vikimoody8783]

Wonderful video of a couple of great days. I remember the toe accident , really painful. Vera is so sweet.

[@bunkosquad2000]

I’m sorry, but I found the seasickness story funny. That’ll teach Vera to not make fun of mommy!

[@dockeryinsurance]

This episode offers reflection past and future. We’ve enjoyed your journey since the beginning and look forward to many more “safe injury free” adventures. Hold onto Time, it flys bye.

[@BohemianBeatster]

Always a pleasure following the sailing adventures of your family.

[@linam7318]

So sweet and warm the feeling while watching and such a wish to one day experience this with my family ❤️🙏

[@mermaid7775]

I watch a few YT sailing channels but your videos seem to fly by so much quicker than others! You must have the pace and rhythm just right. 😊

[@bobogliddabrun]

Learning to blow bubbles is tight!

[@moz1953]

magic moments for you and us - thank you XxX

[@GoneSailingCA]

thanks Ran, nice episode

[@victorroios]

"Life is good !" Such beautifull places, enjoy it!

[@MrPaulcm1]

Wow, that sunset is amazing. Ouch, I remember the toe incident. Great times on the beach. Love the vlog.

[@TheSweetestCocoa]

Thank you for visiting my country again! I love sailing myself and I followed this channel a few years back when I took up sailing again and it's nice to see you back. When I followed you was the last time you were here 🤣

[@richiebe3002]

Forget the Toe. I loved the Pokies!

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Vera so cute blowing bubbles. Appreciate information & the map so we know where u r. Lovely couple/family 🇨🇦

[@mrkevind]

Project Atticus just found out they are pregnant! I told them to talk to you about having a baby on a boat. Vera is so cute! We love watching her grow.

[@camdening7315]

I thought i recognised that head band ! Great to see you catching up with the crew from See The Little Things xx

[@kristaready8812]

Your vlog is so relaxing and interesting to watch. I can't believe how much Vera has grown! Keep up the great work! 🥂

[@tomcraddock244]

Enjoyable as always !! You never disappoint!! Beautiful scenery Fair winds ⛵️

[@matthewprather7386]

Since that dog wasn't thirsty it obviously has a place where it can get water... But maybe not so much food. Probably OK if it's getting water!

[@philippevanhems1321]

So cool! Thanks.

[@bobsails9750]

Thank you

[@ronaldwarren5220]

Beautiful place

[@joshy0369]

Pretty cool 😎

[@andrewjames7616]

Thankyou 👍

[@jerrymiller276]

Do you buy the courtesy flags at check in or do you carry a bunch to cover your expected cruising grounds?

[@walterwinn2842]

Beautiful 😍

[@HopeOfJoe]

Enjoyed it very much 🎉 Nice to see S/v See The Little Things with you guys at dinner. Much rather have you're boat than the 16 footer 🙄

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

I'm amazed at the number of sailing families that have dogs or cats i can think of 3 that have parrots and the Rigging doctor has a Corgi dog 🐕 and two very large Macaws .😂 I can only imagine the problems at customs. If you ever get a dog it will need to a water loving breed or cross.😉

[@BrassLock]

*SAILING NANDJI* has all the details of how to transport a Whippet on board a yacht from Austraila through S. E. Asia and back to Australia (with a child on board too). It's a monumental effort due to Australia's strict rules protecting native biodiversity, but they carried on with lots of positivity and help from friends.

CAnnot help but notice Malin has really been looking fit. Johan, you lucky dog.

[@rainfinger]

Great job, keep it up!

If you come down to Grenada again look us up in Mt. Hartman Bay. s/v GAME PLAN.

[@michaelsenior7858]

How did it happen ?? When I watched the flashbacks not only did it put me off my cornflakes ( I was having breakfast at the time) ..I could feel my big tingle .....🤕

[@davep5788]

The hatch fell down and caught her toe.

[@highvibe4839]

Hello, Will we receive sweet news of another little sailor arriving, or was Malans sea sickness a one off? You were such a trooper when you were injured and again when pregnant with Vera, extremely remarkable, glad this episode was without crutches..

[@BrassLock]

I'm quite sure Vera appreciates your concern about puppies, but is smart enough to realise that puppies prefer land to yachts, and there will be millions of spare puppies in the future, once you settle back into Landlubber mode. Then your doggie can escort Vera to school each day.

[@380Scania]

I remember the toe episode. Someone didn’t have a good time 😮😷

[@gregkuyava9335]

Just a question.. when it gets really rolly, why don't you sleep ina hammock? They can greatly reduce the swaying so you can get rest and maybe not sea sick. worked for many I'e talked to over the years. Plus, they make hammock chairs that you could hang by the helm.. very comfy

[@minermarcus]

A hammock takes a lot of room to swing. Small boats are always tight on room. I had a 13 tonsailboat and cannot imagine getting more than one hammock strung properly. Most berths would have you banging against the hull and bulkheads if in a hammock.

[@familyupgrade]

STLT är fantastiska! Bara bäst, så sjukt roliga!

[@dmahlgre23]

Another great video, thanks! How's the toe doing? Any problems with it? Keep on sailing⛵

[@pertjarnstrom1330]

Nice videos you do, just checking some full time sailors on YT, and when I checking in on your ch I had the feeling you are sailing in the Göta Kanal....when I check you out more your are from Sweden. I have never been trying to sail, but like the idea of it, but need to be a better swimmer first. ....Sometimes I like to swim with my clothes on :) / Per Övik

[@joannastark6180]

Take the puppy with you!!!🙏🥺

Towns are bigger when you're on crutches.
