The Foul Island In The San Juan’s - Ep. 143 RAN Sailing

[@solowinterwolf]

I love Sucia! We sailed there twice in the '80s.

[@Timopo]

I should've learned of the 12-year "Pig War" in school. I feel cheated of that important historical episode in my education. Seriously, I appreciate the historical facts you share with us viewers. Your interest in local history is always impressive and enlightening.

[@mhensen1]

It’s funny how serious Johan looks while cutting Malin’s hair, other times under pressure he’s smiling or joking, but cutting her hair...dead serious, I guess he knows what’s important, nice job on both haircuts Johan!

[@robjohnson2649]

You always surprise us. Sailor, engine mechanic, now hair dresser. Once again such beautiful nature. RAN is taking you such wonderful places.

[@huffster6344]

As far as sailing videos go, you guys hike more than most. It adds another level to places many will never visit. It would appear that Malin forgot one of the rules of hiking. The first hiker get the spider webs. A wise hiker has a hiking stick or a Johan for the spider webs. ; )>

[@barrythompson8858]

WOW! The quality of your videos are phenomenal, volume levels are right-on and the music is perfectly blended. Real professionals

[@johnswanson6994]

Your videos of the natural beauty and wildlife among the San Juan Achipelago (incl Gulf Islands) truly does justice to this area as one of the most beautiful, unspoiled sailing grounds in North America and the world. The wildlife is especially uplifting. Thank you..

[@DanielTruran]

The fact that you are sailing to quite beautiful places does help but your way of filming, editing and telling makes everything even more special. Loved (!) the old tree by the beach in Isla Sucia!

[@ansbas]

thank you both so much once again

[@mikeh720]

Such a beautiful video. The scenery, and the Attenborough-like voiceover from Johan... WOW! You two really have outdone yourselves! NatGeo should seriously contract you as a source. Malin, your editing is phenomenal, thank you so much (again) for sharing your world experience with those of us still roped to a desk!

[@chuckleber3484]

Sucia Island is my favorite! I grew up sailing the San Juan and Canadian Gulf islands every summer as a kid.

[@Captain-Paul]

Best Sailing Channel on KZbin by a mile - thanks

[@Bradley_Clark]

Your vlogs never disappoint. Thanks for taking us along. Thumbed.

How to make your boat quieter: Find surfaces on the boat that "drum" or "ring" when you tap on the surface with the end of your fingers. These are the surfaces that need a damping material. They are usually flat surfaces like bulkheads or storage compartments, any surface that is a solid part of the boat. Buy some short loop rubber backed rug at stores like WalMart and some all purpose silicone adhesive in a cartridge, a cartridge gun and a yellow handle tin snip. With the tin snips cut a piece of rug to fit the surface. Apply the silicone to the rubber side of the rug. Do not cover the whole surface but apply small thumbnail size buttons about 1/4 inch thick on about a 1 inch grid. This allows air space around each button so the silone can cure. Work quickly so you can apply the rug before the silicone skins over. It doesn't have to be pretty. Apply the rug to the surface pressing the rug smooth all over with your hands to make even contact. If you have a large vertical surface to cover, cut a piece of stiff corrugated cardboard the same size and shape as the rug piece, lay flat then rug on top, rubber up, then apply silicone. Then use the cardboard to help you tilt the rug up to the surface. Allow about a day for silicone to cure. Don't use on surfaces in the engine compartment. Fire could cause toxic gasses or support combustion. The more surfaces you cover, the quieter the boat gets. Worked for me.

[@iamblaineful]

That is my home, the area I grew up sailing, now I live 1,000 miles south, I got tired of being cold and wet. I've circumnavigated Vancouver Island twice, both the inside and the outside are enjoyable, albeit quite different.

[@maccourt8230]

Watching your wonderful videos in bed is the best ever start to our weekend. So much talent and beauty, we are so sad when they come to the end. We had a five year retirement adventure on our boat, only it was a narrow boat on the English canals, but still had to overcome the haircutting, including our dog, that's probably as close as we came to your adventure. Cheers Mac & Jacquie

[@jimbojims]

Wow! I loved seeing Sucia island through your eyes. It’s one of my favourite destinations in the San Juan’s. My family and I have spent many hours sitting on that wooden bench watching the sunset and world go by. Although it’s hard to keep a 4 and 6 year old in one place for long! Thanks for the great videos, can’t wait to see what’s coming up next! Cheers 🍻 🇨🇦

[@corysherman6087]

Best sailing couple on the planet. Down to Earth and talented in all things sailing. My hat is off to you both 🎩

[@dennisbrown3652]

Beautiful country. The water is so calm. Love the Beautiful sunsets. Love your videos.

[@bjornstener6271]

AWESOME! I found your channel in January. I have no plowed true all 143 episodes in 6 weeks. (My family thinks I'm nuts😁) You guys are the best! 😉👍❤ Fantastic video's and a really interesting story in every episode. I have learned a lot about sailing and all the places you have visit. And I love your cool and calm personalities. You're a great inspiration for me, and im sure a lot of people. Keep up the good work 😉👍 The snow is still falling here in Hälsingland I Sweden, so you can imagine the impact your videos are doing on me. I have been working on a seismic vessel in Brazil and Caribbean sea for about 3 years between 2011-2014. And I love being out at sea. I hope that I can do something similar as you in the future. Looking forward for more episodes. Med vänlig hälsning Björn Stener 🏴‍☠️❤😁👍⛵🌞

[@RANSailing]

Wow, thanks for watching! We’re so happy that you find the videos inspirational! Tack för att du tittar och vi hoppas våren kommer snart där hemma. 😊

[@Diggers57]

Lovely thank you

[@davidnichols147]

Beautiful drone view of horseshoe cove! The historic presentation's are great subject matter with respect to your surroundings.

[@denisemiller4964]

While you are in the states find a Sally Beauty Supply. Buy some hair cutting shears and a nylon hair cutting cape. It wont cost to much money and you will see a big difference in they cutting of your hair. They also have clippers with guides so you have a better cut. It would do your beard also. I think both of your hair looks good. These products if you buy them should last you many years. One trick is to NEVER use hair cutting scissors on paper or cloth. And always wash and line dry your cape. I am a hair stylist and you will not regret your purchase. Not sure what you use on the floor for easy clean up but a cheap plastic shower curtain works great. Love your videos. .

[@marcusornroth6388]

Probably one of your most beautiful videos so far. Thanks to your hair cut, this episode will always be remembered as the editors cut version...🤔🤪😃

[@lessd685]

At 12:36, what is that metal round object sticking out from your port bow? Thanks once again for excellent footage. Best video presentation on KZbin sailing continuing on. The Alaskan adventure series should receive some kind of honor for sure. Without a doubt the best put together for entertainment, information, and craftmanship.

[@elipsis6700]

Pancakes and haircuts? A man of hidden talents! Great episode

[@kellyfarley7968]

One of my favorites from you - really well done :)

[@tsamson2606]

Beautifully captured via your video footage. Fair Winds!

[@svokisollo]

I love Sucia! I'm so glad you got to visit this gem! My first sailing trip featured that island and I went there for my 15th birthday!

[@solarsail56]

Your. Videos are a breath of fresh air during the dreary Northwest winter days. I have cruised the San Juan islands and your videos remind me of cruises to come. Thank you.

[@donkinzer5718]

You are doing a fantastic job of documenting the stunning beauty of one part of the Pacific Northwest! I have lived in Oregon since 1977 (having grown up in Ohio and Indiana) and I am still to this day in awe of the natural beauty of Washington, Oregon and northern California.

[@jrp616]

Beautiful drone shots of the islands in your opening. Several other stunning shots as well. Compliments to the photographer, editor & barber.

[@wombatdk]

Your quiet, relaxing videos just make me smile every time.

[@prmartin7259]

The music was perfect for this video. Thanks for another great video. 🎼⛵👫🦆🐦🦖

[@wimgrondman5542]

just saw that you bought a van de Stadt sailboat, when Iwas a kid in the late 1950ies we lived above a Mr van de Stadt and I remember my father saying he was a boat architect. This was in Plumstead South Africa.

[@feanor3876]

The directions you guys take with your videos is amazing. You guys highlight the natural wonders you encounter so amazingly.

[@EngineerK]

Living life at 5 knots. Beautiful video you guys. Love the stunning PNW in fall.

[@themanontheroad]

Saturday morning - Enjoying another beautiful Ran sailing episode. Thank you 👍

[@RVLifeNOW]

Enjoyed seeing that area with you! Maybe someday we will get there too! Thanks for sharing your nicely made videos with us :)

[@howardwhite9773]

13:20 - Wow! How beautiful.

[@frankd2301]

Seems like the perfect time of year to be up there 👍

[@callmepokey1]

looking forward to the next video as always. Thank You

[@ushillbillies]

Another excellent video..

[@edrosenberger6947]

You two make a wonderful team.....thank you for another beautifully filmed episode!!

[@zavman109]

Beautiful. It was especially fun to watch this one for me. I make an annual trip to the San Juans from the eastern part of WA with my little trailer sailer. Sucia is my favorite and you showed it well, has me longing to return this summer.

[@scottboye6796]

It's always fun to see my backyard! I live on San Juan Island and based on the dates, I think I was up to Sucia Island on a cruise just a few days before you. I think you've captured the essence of Sucia very well. I look forward to future videos of other places in the San Juans.

[@MrRourk]

Do you watch Art of Hookie He is in the San Juans

[@scottboye6796]

@@MrRourk Occasionally. He's over on Lopez these days and I'm on San Juan. Each island tends to be its own community. It's only 4 miles as the crow flies from my house to Fisherman Bay on Lopez where he moors his boat but literally three hours to drive what with the ferry ride between us. I see his boat out sailing every once in a while.

[@suzanneouimet6977]

Beautiful drone footage!

[@FTATF]

Iam from Alaska and I have done this route 6 or 7 times. What blows my mind is that you have been showing flat and glassy conditions from Seward to the San Juan's..... crazy. We get a lot of that, but I've never seen it like for the whole passage to Bellingham.

[@SailingABSea]

Love the laid back approach to life. Inspiring.

[@jackvanderhyde8828]

Stellar photography with a beautiful storyline that's both informative and entertaining. I love the way you document your travels. I missed seeing the arbutus trees and sandstone beaches.

[@normanboyes4983]

You never disappoint with your beautiful productions. If I may make a suggestion for the new ‘chain chute’ - have you considered making one out of fibreglass it may be more slippery and more enduring? Perhaps.🤔

[@mathiasnilsson789]

Wow vilket foto och vilka vyer, vilket ljus ni fångar i bilderna, magiskt, har följt er sedan starten och drömmer om att göra samma resa...jorden runt, drömmen kommer slå in...... hoppas ni har det bra....bästa hälsningar Mathias

[@dreamvideotelevision4540]

You always make the best episodes on KZbin. The only series we watch every week as soon as they are posted. You should make a hair cut video special edition. Johan is a master cutter, Malin's hair turned out really cute ! Thanks so much!

[@vraymond108]

Wow, I can not believe you are the only boat there. Whenever I have been there it is packed full of boats and hard to find a place to anchor. Must remember to go at the end of the season. So much nicer

[@garysouza2277]

Yea Anytime from Sept. or Oct. is a great time to go. The kids are back in school, trailer boats with no heat are in the driveway, so it's pretty mellow. Usually have anchorages to yourself, or a just couple other boats. Evenings get a little cool, though.

[@HopeOfJoe]

Beautiful scenery. I have said this before, yet this area reminds me of my previous sailing ground in and among the islands of Maine, specifically Penobscot Bay and Eastward as well as further south in Casco Bay. Just very special nature and cruising. 😊👍👌🤘⛵️🚣⚓️🍷

[@tonyyoung3858]

Outstanding video. Beautiful places enhanced by your fabulous photography/videography and editing. I also use a 'No. 1' for my hair. Easy to do, but sometime I also come out uneven. 😜

[@captainmike808]

You two look great with the haircuts! I hope you enjoyed the San Juans, makes me miss fishing and crabbing so much up there.

You two add a quality of perspective to the video that leaves me feeling as if I was there with you. The way you capture images of wildlife and scenery is truly amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this.
