[@hansschweikert9153]

The content that you two (or three!) are producing is like chicken soup for the soul of a sailor. Spectacular. Love learning something about Sweden. Thank you.

[@hulahickey6959]

Their videos are a wonderful endorsement for visiting Sweden. The country is beautiful

[@willeecolor6182]

Vera finally gets her captain’s chair!

[@keithcopeland8245]

Well ya know when your the head of the ship you have to be able to control your crew lol

[@kennethwiegand8977]

Swedish tourism should pay you a lot of money. Your videos are beautiful, informative and welcome. You live in a beautiful country!!

[@davidnichols147]

Marvelous Johan, you deserve that ice cream after constructing Vera's new deck chair!

[@dmack1827]

Johan is the most level headed man around. Except when it comes to ice cream! The summer tour of Sweden just makes me want to do the same. Beautiful scenery.

[@acknative1]

The new Captain seat, Capt. Vera.

[@dadejazzba402]

That baby has the best smile I've ever seen...lol

[@martinbuinicki1056]

Your pleasant and calm video was just what I needed in this time of turmoil in my country.

[@ldirk58601]

Gosh, this was all such a treat for the eyes! From Vera's little kiss and the drone shots to the beautiful meals the new seat setup! And the ice cream! Amazing! You and Sweden have such beauty! TY!

[@johnleigh349]

Rub vera's gums with whisky on your finger I used it on my son as a baby now he bring me a bottle of whisky when he visits me 😊😋

[@deeparks3112]

Clever seat arrangement for the young lady, she seems to enjoy it. A teething child creates enough pain for everyone. What a beautiful town, and that ice cream "schooner" so HUGE! Thank you for another excellent video.

[@stub2022]

Vera's smile! 😁😁

[@bobjohnson1710]

It's amazing to me all of the different cultures that came together in this video from Sweden. The traditional American fare of "burger and a beer" to the Mexican enchiladas and Japanese sushi rolls to even the Christian religion from the Middle East, it's a wonderful time to be alive! Vera isn't quite the handful just yet, wait a few months until she starts wanting to walk, then the fun really begins! When she turns into a teenager, you won't stand a chance of winning! Enjoy her while she's reasonable!

[@frankrice5364]

You guy,s put a smile on a old salted face , thank you for the story with in the vedio,s

[@allmomomosthomebus3895]

The Lagun swivel mounted baby seat was a genius idea.

[@colinunderdown1758]

Lovely scenery and as for the ice cream, I'm surprised you could manage it all. Brilliant seating idea for Vera, full marks.

[@Oggiwara1]

Søderköping is a nice town. Was there by car from western Norway with my kids 20 years ago. The ice cream shop was famous already back then. To go trough Göta Kanal is said to be the best test of a marriage, due to the stress in the locks sometimes. They say that if you are married when you get to the end of the canal without getting divorced, your marriage is strong and will last forever. So fair winds! :-)

[@AlexKall]

Skilsmässodiket 😬

[@donb4386]

Beautiful videography! It’s become your signature.

[@sailingavocet]

it sure has

[@TW-gw2go]

@@sailingavocet what is the brand/model of your drone? ....thanks

[@sailingavocet]

tom warren ours? Like the one we use on our channel? It’s a Mavic Zoom 2

[@jeffb4969]

Not sure who on RAN is doing it but the drone shots are incredible. Great work!

[@johnphillips519]

It would be worth traveling to Sweden just to have one of those icecreams🤣

[@jimanderson2518]

I was thinking the same thing🍨🍧

[@Deerwood1985]

His videos are getting better and better, Sweden is a spectacular country, thank you for everything you show, I think that with these videos tourism will increase to Sweden Johan is a very prepared person he can solve everything, Vera's seat is great and the video editing is very good, thank you very much.

[@jlsinchina]

Magnificent shot over the trees toward the boat.

[@tsfraczak]

At last! Gøta kanal, an amazing and adventures journey across Sweden. As always the video is nicely edited. But you adults better be prepared for Vera taking over as star of the show. Keep up the good work and see you all next friday. Take care.

[@MrPaulcm1]

Wow, those ice creams look amazing! Loving Vera's chair and of course the whole vlog.

[@TheSkidon]

Amazing episode - the canal is identical to our own Canadian Rideau Canal system which is a World Heritage Site. It was built at exactly the same time from 1826 to 1832, only 6 years to cover 202 kilometers. 49 locks. But Vera still "takes the cake"!!! beautiful views and town - thanks.

[@rgildersleeve5479]

Those meals and deserts sure do wet the appetite.🦞👍🍔🥂🍨😀

[@McTroyd]

Death by ice cream!! 🤣

[@hearsephantom]

Nice Captain's chair for Vera!!! She will love all the great views.

[@davidc6510]

Vera has such beautiful and loving parents. Her eyes grew big with awe and excitement when she saw the rain storm start. Oh my how fast they change from babies to inquisitive toddlers! Beautiful scenery around the locks. I scream you scream we all scream for ICECREAM!!!! Those looked delicious! Another great episode! Thanks for sharing.

[@ocxb]

I am so jealous, your country is so beautiful and so many different places to explore, Southern California might have a better climate but in beauty it can’t hold a candle to Sweden.

[@davidnierzwick2775]

That ice cream should be illegal...I would die being anywhere near that Ice Cream shoppe ... That's some of the most amazing treats I have ever seen!

[@SailingTeez]

Great video! Thank you for taking us on your journey. We absolutely love Vera’s new seat! Totally awesome the way you accommodate your beautiful new crew member! Fair winds ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@BirdEBird]

The highlight of 2020 is to look for Vera's cameo in each week's video! Lovely!

[@johnlysic6727]

Vad otroligt vackert Sverige är. Min amerikanska man och jag bor i närheten av Washington DC och vi följer.era äventyr över hela jorden. Jag längtar hem, speciellt när man ser så vackra bilder. Sköt om er och var försiktiga. Kramar från John och Lotta Such beautiful scenery - loving the tour through the canal - thank you so much

[@owenpotter2459]

It would be worth going to Sweden just for that ice cream! It looked amazing. I love the new "Captains chair" for Vera. She looks even more in charge now!

[@1robertmkelly]

I am not a sailor but I do appreciate the artistry of fine sailing, the beauty of the world you are passing through and the strong bonds of family and friends. Thanks for sharing you experiences.

[@TWROC96]

Beautiful scenery. That bicycle idea is very smart and both idea can be used in the future.

[@Medard1947]

One has to be young and healthy to survive these mountains of ice cream! Beautiful images, as usual. Quite entertaining and endearing, as always!

[@georgelambertson300]

Oh very beautiful your country is ...Vera's Throne appears quite wonderful for her thank you for sharing...

[@madwldgrp1]

Thank you for another week of amazing scenery and relaxing adventure. What a great addition to the cockpit for Vera to see the sights along the Gota canal. 👍

[@bubbagail7450]

It's so cool watching you sail thru your home country, the history, the beauty and of course the IceCream. Great job guys.

[@moz1953]

Sweden - what a classy country ( sadly only ever visited Stockholm a few times ), all the food looks superb, thanks for another gem of a vlog guys 😘

[@atiahsubhi]

You are doing a great job for all of us, viewers I mean, by taking us around to see a fancy lifestyle, not just that, but, feeling the family joy and happiness too in atmosphere, I really liked the new chair amounted in the cockpit for lovely Vera, this is going to lift her vision and present. keep on the good work. cheers.

[@mnbsay9548]

Great video (as usual) thank you. Vera’s such a cutie in no time she’ll be sailing right along with dad and mom. Fair wind and stay well.

[@Josh-of-all-Trades]

"I'm pretty full." He says as he stuffs more ice cream into his mouth.

[@Bladavia]

I'm falling in love with Sweden. It's a lot like my own country of Switzerland but with the sea as a bonus. Perfect !

[@LoriG75]

I am a third Swedish if that is such a thing, lol! Love seeing this beautiful country through your eyes and lovely videos. 😊

[@gregkarkowsky967]

I live in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. We have three rivers with massive locks. They are such simple and amazing things.

[@mattinla98]

Your drone footage is next level. Really spectacular!

[@annafraley5388]

Great video of beautiful places and Loved the painting 🖼. at 9:49 You’re got parents..!! Wow 😳 when you said ice cream 🍨 you ment an Ice Cream Meal 😱😎👍✅

[@justinvogt695]

Nice seat! Very clever installation!

[@ytaps]

Vill du ha glass ? This is my favorite Swedish phrase.

[@music-man]

Sweden is going to be on my bucket list to visit. Its so beautiful there i cant wait to go. safe travels.

[@windonwater3895]

Your sister brought some great looking food. Thanks for another great video. Ron

[@persjoberg4027]

Tack för att ni delar med er av era äventyr. Ta hand om er / Per

[@jameswesthart5873]

Enjoyed, especially the ice cream and wonderful scenery. Thar toddler seat set up is absolutely perfect. Another great video...

[@komerwest3748]

Now thats a ice cream shop to go and eat at.

[@DurinSBane-zh9hj]

Vera's got the best seat in the house. Soon she'll be giving commands like an old clipper cap't :)

[@CM-yq9cx]

As always, another great episode. Vera's seat is brilliant!! The little towns along the canal are so pretty.

[@doppler3237]

Started watching at your third video on the north sea and have always recommended you. So glad to see you pass the 100K mark

[@highvibe4839]

You two aren’t just good sailors, but your great foodies, so good to see a variety of foods on your dining table menu, a good selection of tasty foods, good sources of proteins, carbs, deserts, pastries, and your still both healthy and fit.One does get tired of eggs, lentils, hummus, avocados, meatless sausages ect! Nutrition is key, and that’s all foods in moderation of all colours, especially ice cream! Yum 😋 love your authenticity and Sweden!

[@Quarry4x4]

I love the rain and the sound of weather. Living in Central Queensland Australia we don't get the regular variety of weather. Please show the rain and the days you think may not make good video. Even if it is a feature film of a rainy day.

[@manfredseidler1531]

Seen a lot of happy babies in my old years but your happy baby takes the cake. Never seen a little one so content and ready to share a smile. Your boating adventures just have to take a back seat. LOVE THE SEAT EXTENSION FOR THE LITTLE ONE... NOT MANY BOATOWNERS WOULD BE SO WILLING TO DRILL HOLES IN THEIR BOATS SO THE BABY HAS A BETTER VIEW.

[@whitekasimir3752]

Haha, Vera sits on her new throne like the royal swedish fleet commander. So cute!

[@rickczainski9856]

Vera now has the captains chair. That is a great addition to the cockpit. Holy ice cream!!!

[@thommeyer6356]

What a brilliant solution for Vera's "captain's chair!" Always a pleasure watching your videos...thank you.

[@rlanderson96]

You may be able to tell I am new at youtube, and very old, from my earlier comment. I lived in Skovde in 1999 and hope you are able to visit the town there.

[@normanmerrill1241]

Beautiful family...Vera is lovely...safe passage...

[@robertbartelmes7623]

I had to laugh when I saw the ice cream creations vrught to your table ... they came complete with drink-like parasols "decorations" ...

[@cfield1468]

Love Vera’s new captains seat. She is growing so fast. You are giving her a wonderful life full of experience’s. Travel safe. From 🇺🇸

[@BillChild2njoy]

Love joining you in your adventures to places I will probably never visit but ooo the view and the ice cream might get me there one day soon lol

[@sailorsnook]

I took mine around the long way but whichever way you go Sweden, Norway, the Baltic are all stunning. You can too, you don't need to be rich read How To Buy A Boat For The Liveaboard Lifestyle on Amazon. Tons of advice for adopting the Liveaboard travelling lifestyle.

[@Cedandkikisailing]

Sweden is on our sailing bucket list to visit for sure! But it moved up the list! We have the same table support in our cockpit on our Tanzer 26. Over 15 years now and works great.

[@BilldalSWE]

And you haven't seen the west coast yet... Bohuslän which is the coast from Gothenburg up to the norweigian border is the most beautiful part.

[@druid201]

As always, a great Friday vlog. Thanks. Hope you're all well. 8)

[@jwm4436]

Another great episode! Thx for sharing. Life is good~

[@marclawyer2789]

Reminds me of the Caledonian canal (on someone else's boat). I was lucky enough to have weather like this. Thanks for your great videos: my wife and I will definitely put this on the list of to dos.

[@gregmirr]

Another great video with excellent music ...love looking at your country much different than here in San Diego ca ..cheers

[@BrassLock]

Glad to see you so early on Saturday morning!

[@kerrymettert8962]

The ice cream looked delicious! Here in the US we sometimes joke around saying, I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream! I like Vera's captain chair and I hope she gets through the teething pain as quickly as possible. I also wanted to mention I like the nice music you play with your videos. It is sooo relaxing. Keep up the good work and thanks for taking us along.

[@mikakoskela4656]

Ouh Nou, I have allways wanted to boat throw götakanal, well, now I dont have to once I will watch your video.Nice Najad, najad interior quality details has allways been much warmer than mahogany HR.

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you 219 Ran

[@YoureNowOnTV]

So beautiful! thank you 😀🙏

[@rodneyprimm5984]

Awesome idea with the seating situation 😃!

[@noelligh]

[@RocketSailing]

The lineferry ”captain” at Stegeborg. Is a crazy f.. He just Sometimes wait to tourist cruisers come. The he charges out. 😂😂

[@dirtknocker2587]

Love this taste of Sweden this season!

[@captainmike808]

Such a beautiful place

[@VictoriaWargaming]

reminds me of the "Cruising the Cut" channel which is quite good.

[@Stavoren]

short of perfect... great video!

[@bobhamilton298]

I have one of those Lagun tables. Got the idea from Sail Life in Denmark. What a great idea to mount a child seat to it. Cool.
