Tie everything down🌪 Winds of 60 knots are coming! - Ep. 248 RAN Sailing

[@moz1953]

you guys are the best Swedish export since Abba 🤣 XxX

[@jamieminton172]

I was in Spain when they were playing the discos for tips. WOW what a memory. Thanks. :D

[@kb1esx]

Vera has an infectious smile! I can't help but grin back at her. THANKS

[@kevinlytle6215]

In a year that little sailor is gonna be helping you fix the boat! She seems very in tune with things! I am glad that gale found you in a safe harbor. Always a joy to watch your episodes.

[@richardzastrow6354]

My wife and I really enjoy your love of adventure and your positive attitude. Thank you for not dramtizing your challenges, there just a part of life. And we love Vera, she is such a cute deckhand.

[@jaymarlin3565]

I am so happy to be part of your crew! Johan, I would travel with you in all watches and weather. One of the few Captains I trust. Malin, thank you for your perseverance, skills and video management. We all know the difficulties of filming a particular scene, whether on land or at sea. The quick inserts of The Admiral scooting around below deck are precious . The visitations, hiking and explanations of ship systems, all flow together - getting better and better. Blue skies and following seas.

[@billb.6109]

Vera, "Ok Dad I got this,...just beat it with a wrench if all else fails!" Also, that was a very beautiful church in the center of the town, thank you for sharing. Safe travels.

[@nlingle68]

Sweden is Beautiful. Thank you Ran Sailing.

[@deeparks3112]

Thank you Johan for braving the cold wind and salt spray to bring us that storm footage! Awesome. Vera says she wants to go with mom to the hair dresser so she can look as fine as her mother... Bet having reliable heat is a blessing, all thanks to Johan and Vera's hard work!

[@lorenenoe4472]

Really appreciate when you also use dollars when giving us an idea of costs and Fahrenheit when speaking about the weather, from a USA fan! Be safe and now you will be warm. Hugs to Vera.

[@robjohnson2649]

Beautiful village. Vera grows so fast. What a happy little girl.

[@bryansmith1920]

Back in 1985 I was in the Scottish Highlands in the Cairngorms I was with a group of squaddies on our first experience of Harsh weather We as a group sat on a ledge of rock eating our ration packs after which we stood up turned round to continue our climb four steps is all it took to go from a peaceful picnic TO literally reaching out my bent arm to touch the ground Because of the Power Mother Nature HAS was a lesson I have never forgot As a side remark pertaining to this Blog I used to drive HGV working out of Perkins UK Peterborough Who actually Built a Japanese Shibaura Engine under licence And Badged it Volvo Penta

[@jwyzdm]

Good to see all your canvass survived the winds.

[@mapsman5513]

Such pretty towns. I would love to see what the houses look like inside. Thanks for continuing to show us Sweden. I love this series.

[@justicebdone]

Tap dancing Vera at 15:22 was superb lol! Another awesome vid guys!!

[@smokedoliver1]

Vera sure is a Daddy’s girl, picking up wrenches.💐🌹

[@dmack1827]

I remember my daughters doing the same. Then they would find great amusement in seeing them splash in the water. :)

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Hope you guys can get out to sea this year.X

[@ronflores658]

I like that when Johan goes for a walk in 50 knot winds, he instinct is to fly the drone!

[@ronflores658]

*I meant “his” instinct, not he.

[@lifeislikesailing]

So glad you were tied up and all safe at a harbour for that storm!

[@steveditch4504]

We all love Vera and her lovely outfits.

[@davidnichols147]

After sailing in our US Merchant Marine Service for 35 years, sailing and meeting many Scandinavian seaman, I must say that Johan reminds me more & more as the videos and viewing continues as Leif Erikson the famed seadog and explorer himself.

[@JCAJCA3]

What a beautiful child! GOD speed Ran Crew. JC

[@hughcasement5443]

Nothing like going out in bad weather to cure cabin sickness!

[@errolG68]

Lovely little villages and your little girl seems to enjoy running through the towns. Best Wishes to you and your family.Errol in South Africa 🇿🇦

[@bluewendytube]

That was some gale! It can’t be easy keeping cheerful & Vera entertained, when you can’t escape but I suppose there are definitely more highs than lows?! Great to see that new heater going in.

[@fgansell]

You are good and hearty being out there in all weathers. Enjoying your videos. Thank you.

[@richardsteele928]

I love watching you and Vera growing. Vera getting cuter every week and the both of you growing into very fine parents.

[@Blue-Steel]

STRONG Wind. The sommer is komming.

[@richardblackwell874]

I was so relieved to see that Vera was supervising the mechanic from Volvo...

[@larrymacaluso9051]

I just can't stop smiling whenever l see Vera, she has such a beautiful smile and seems to want to be included in whatever daddy is doing. Thank you for sharing, it's going to be wonderful watching her grow. Fair winds and safe travels.

[@bryanhebden8398]

I thought I saw Erik from NBJS go by in 60 knots of apparent! Just his cup of tea!

[@runristaren2]

That heater will prove itself this week 🥶 🇸🇪👍

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Thanks for sharing another great video, the villages are so quaint especially knowing the history of how long some of the homes have been here. Imagine the number of storms they have endured. Stay safe and warm. Fair winds and falling seas 😘⛵️⛵️

[@BRuas9080]

We had 63 knots here about a month ago. The solar panels of the neighboring house flew and fell in our house and caused great damage. Luckily we were not at sea that day.

[@vraymond108]

Glad to see they did not change the details so the new heater would not install without additional issues. We have been out in 50 kts but never 60. I can’t quite imagine even walking in such strong winds.

[@crismoore6811]

Chain houses like in German Reihenhaeuser and in the US cookie cutter houses. Your videos are always great. Thank you

[@robertadamsmetaldetecting6324]

Little Vera sure is adorable! What a great helper you have there. I only imagine she will turn out to be an amazing sailor as well.

[@VictoriaWargaming]

Vera looks like a future mechanic.

[@bryansmith1920]

Does Sweden have a equivalent of The Royal Engineers As I can see Vera if she decides to give her time being in charge in a few years She has been trained by the best ;-)))

[@gaflaview6476]

I think Vera is going to be a top notch mechanic.

[@seadog2396]

Soooooo Glad you have a new, properly-working heater! From experience, I know how uncomfortable - and demoralizing - having no heat on a boat is. Enjoy the heat to the max. May your cabin feel like the Caribbean now....

[@KandiSueTheBlue]

Thank you for the video. Loved seeing 60kn on the water. 🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬⛵👏😎🦘

[@Deerwood1985]

It was worth waiting a week for the video, Vera is learning how to repair the heating, all very nice, love it.

[@brianwalker1180]

I love your videos. You are the best sailing channel on You Tube. Vera is so cute. I look forward to your next video ,From Ontario, Canada.

[@airshipguys]

Vera's pony tail is Super cute! Nice that the heater install was easy. So often manufacturers change models. Cheers from Juneau Alaska, Greg Chaney

[@cschexnayder2517]

Vera tapping the old heater with a wrench made me feel warm inside! That was a really special moment for the old mechanic in me..

[@ldirk58601]

Veras socks and coat look so cute and matches Ran2. Her hair is turning darker. I love your new hair cut Malin, and the curls were pretty. That storm was wicked! Sleeping on the boat must be a bit hard but going back to land in a quiet house would be even harder after so long on there. Thanks for sharing!

[@karenogrady7870]

Read the comments, very true , we love Vera too, look forward to your new video every week.

[@propulsar]

Another great episode. It looked so windy it must be very difficult to relax with such a relentless wind blowing for days.

[@corujariousa]

$700 that engine work you could have done yourself... Ouch! That was an expensive stamp. We have to "kiss the ring" sometimes. Very beautiful images of that small town and sea under the wind storm. It reminded me of the Portuguese coast in the Winter. Stay strong, together and enjoy the adventures.

[@janicerobertson6239]

Love your videos. We are viewing some of your year 1 videos and the first one we watched started with heater failure! Love seeing little Vera - she is so adorable. Thank you for sharing!

[@cfinstr]

I saw the blood..... When I have a project and it draws a small amount of blood, I know it is a well completed project. Congratulations.

[@passinthru4328]

Wow! You crossed the sound barrier to get to the town to the west. May you cross many more. Great videography and editing as usual and Vera is apprenticing to be dad's right hand.

[@twowheelrodeo]

The cover is a good addition I think, I had thought this for very long time, all climates. It's a place in the morning, or when ever provides something. More places, like a garage or added room.

[@cesardias7579]

Thats a quite expensive stamp! But... in a land home you also get some big "stamps" and home always stay in the same place... day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year! And Vera... helping dad giving him the tools he need. Or keeping an eye on volvo guy... making sure that everything is done as it should be :) Growing fast :) César

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. So nice to hear from you all. Great to see that you got service on the engine, and heater replaced.

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

Vera Is SO Adorable I Got My Cheek Hurt for the Week😁😍😁 THANKS for Sharing

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you guys for 248.

[@dennismacdonald2003]

Luv u 2 hope see u again in Canada soon

[@rikstone1949]

Oh, no Vera is starting to run good luck.🥰

[@brucebenson5908]

Vera is getting quite handy. It's always good to sail with a second mechanic onboard.

[@donnakawana]

Vera is getting so big.. Aww an Daddy's lil helper. So sweet an I see Vera also loves to dance... She's just a doll face ✌🏻💗☺️❣️

[@kloudkckr]

That’s a good mum. Great video

[@HellyWelly93]

That storm looked intense!

[@M-Swede]

That wind speed would be a tropical storm here.

[@maureenb7399]

Love your videos! Nice to watch Vera grow up and mimic her dad :)

[@rayallen1479]

Wow, Reminds me so much of my time on board here in the Pacific Northwest of Washington State. People who are land based just have no idea of the reality’s of life aboard a sailing vessel... Cheers from Anacortes!

[@gorway7]

Glad you have heat again. I would not have liked to be at sea in those 60 knot gusts and wild sea states.

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Trying to fly the drone in 60 knots wind. 🤣 I know you were just kidding.

[@suep4530]

Glad you got heat again!! Vera is really getting to be a little cutie!!

[@thejerseylady1]

I am so happy to see that you got your new heater and it works, also that you did not blow away and that gale. Keep warm and safe Gloria 🐂

[@philbox4566]

Daddy's little helper. Awesome.

[@mdcoomer67]

Love Hilma Sailing. Small world!

[@sailingprojectalphacrucis3827]

Tack för en utmärklig episod över Västkusten. Bara Covid är över så kommer vi från Finland och gästar ❤️👍🏼

[@sailingprojectalphacrucis3827]

@Fucker advenit det kan ju ta en stund, jo. Men de blir nog bättre ❤️👍🏼

[@williamlanark3038]

Always look forward to your video's Vera is growing fast. Best regards..

[@markbenson1948]

Really enjoy seeing your country, thanks.

[@annewinning9723]

So glad you have consistent heat back in your home, now all you need is some decent weather 😬

[@jwm4436]

Great episode guys- Vera is really starting to talk, isn’t she! She’s a sweetie. :) Thanks for sharing. Life is good~

[@margaretbrudzinski5411]

Thanks for going out on that windy day! It was exciting to see how wild the waters became!

[@russellmurphy8111]

Glad you were in the harbor...perhaps some Smirnoff to settle things!!!

[@justDIY]

Glad you got that new heater installed! Now the weather can warm up so you won't need it 😄

[@TimothySielbeck]

As the wind picked up in your video a thunderstorm started blowing through my home town. Made your video all the more real.

[@prmartin7259]

Very good video, thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Vera will be a good helper soon.👨‍👩‍👧⛵

[@melparkerson768]

Great to see Vera becoming a valuable crew member , will she be bi lingual from the start learning Swedish and English , lets hope countries start to open up soon .

[@greeneaz]

Love your videos! I’m a new subscriber and I am loving every minute if your sailing adventures! Thanks!

[@miket8453]

My gosh your beautiful girl is growing up so fast! Mine did too. Enjoy these days. Great video as usual.

[@SVImpavidus]

We had forgotten how windy and rough the North sea can be... Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@ThomasEJensen_TEJ]

Good to see Vera keeping a close eye on the Bilge situation, and that she are ready with the pump. 🤘😊🤘

[@jimjenkins673]

This episode blew me away.

[@beaums1]

Hopefully countries on the west coast will open soon and you can head south!!

[@jerrymiller276]

Mechanic's Order of the Bloody Knuckle.

[@stevenr8606]

Yes, Johan has entered the 'laity order of the mechanic' and has been elevated from the ordinary people/person, to a distinct professional or expert by bleeding. 😯

[@delukxy]

Surprised that the service didn't include adjusting the valve clearances. That's important with diesel engines. Is it like the Mercedes engine where you need a pair of special spanners? That was a nasty storm. I guess it was the arctic bubble that we had come down a few weeks ago.

[@backthebadge4009]

Good job guys....stay safe

[@tree4408]

Shit...yes...thanks for showing us the wind! Vera will have well use to winter in the spring!

[@freedom35pedrick]

I spent December installing a diesel heater on my sailboat - works great! But not nearly as cold as Swedish coast. Stunning weather Yuan

[@colinunderdown1758]

It looks like that young lady is going to be a very useful crew member, she doesn't seem fazed by anything and so inquisitive. Lovely places that you are showing us but it seems such a shame about all those empty houses and only used for a few weeks in the summer 😐 .

[@walterthorne4819]

Excellent everything

[@FreewindSP]

Another nice vid! Great job!

[@serenecandle]

Beautiful!!

[@srdjanbasaric517]

When is such windy try a drink 1/2 of prossecio (Italian or Dalmatian sweet vine) and 1/2 of rum. Heath better then air heather. :)

[@chrisdowning9626]

9.20 That can't be anything worse than what you already know. Strange how we never get used to it.

[@garyfroeschner2523]

Nice views. Great video.
