Time To Shake Things Down, We're Back On The Water! - Ep. 153 RAN Sailing

[@sailservicegermany1687]

Hello, we are happy that your new sails fit perfectly. That looks really good. Best regards from Sail Service Germany Jana & Sascha

[@Dashzap]

Nothing like a strong wind to test the hardware. Glad neither of you got hurt when the blocks broke. Congratulations for getting back on the move.

[@gatemana5]

You two nice people really know how to make this very old sea-dog happy. Please take care and keep sending those wonderful videos. Please be very careful, the ocean can be dangerous.

[@DialedN_07]

"Okay, we can tack" hahaha! Great way to handle a surprise in a calm way to not freeze up your new crew.

[@johnkabel285]

You made two huge investments in speed, with the new sails and the cleaned and refinished bottom. That jib looks as smooth and hard as a wing. No wonder you are blasting along. Thanks for all the vistas!

[@garycoleman8223]

The sound of a new headsail... awesome

[@larrymacaluso9051]

I really enjoy your videos and respect how you handle unforeseen problems, great outlook on life and each other. Keep up the good work and safe travels.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching Larry!

[@MrPaulcm1]

So cool seeing Buzz Aldrin in the flesh and the boat looks brand new. :)

[@allsearpw3829]

Glad to see ran is floating again ,any leaks ? Enjoy the trips to come .I did not realize that the comments add points through you tube,so please for give any of my future ramblings ,and now have to go back over about 147 eps .SO come on folks COMMENT

[@LarryKirkendall]

You guys are the real deal, some of the best sailing videos in all of KZbin (and the real world), please keep them coming.

[@pezpengy9308]

i just got back from my first ever cruise along the inside passage of alaska... unfortunately in a massive cruise ship and not my own widdle boat. My wife finally asked me to stop saying, "Hey!!! This is close to where RAN was!!!" Cool to be back online to see your story continue to unfold. Fair winds and following seas! :)

[@stinkintoad]

That dinner brought back memories- I worked on the space shuttle program for 10 years and have seen about 40 launches up close. Such an awesome machine.

[@marcoantoniofederico7891]

Return to the sea! Nothing is as good as sailing again. I wish good luck in the new crossings and everything good for you. Thanks for sharing your movies

[@laurieashley4306]

She looks like a new boat. nice.

[@moleisrich1]

Ol Ran looks like she is ready for some great new adventures!

[@Janchez]

You guys make nice videos, I enjoy them. With travel hard goodbyes just tell you that it was worth your time to stop and that the relationships you made were real. Wishing you safe travels.

[@petermathewvanaardt74]

Good to see you two beautiful people back on the water! What I respect and admire about you guys is that your yacht is always clean and in prestine condition, unlike so many cruisers that seem to kinds give up on the maintenance side of the little things. Much respect to you.

[@Ammo461]

Man that video clarity is amazing! Must be a great camera.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks! Sony A6500 Cheers!

[@davidmedlyn7401]

Love your series, you guys. So nice to see your adapting to the colder climates as you had to the tropics. Especially cool for us Aussies. Cheers, Dave & Jules - Sydney NSW

[@JCAJCA3]

New sails looks wonderful. Shes a fast girl now! GOD bless. JC

[@SeanRWilson]

9 knots? Ok...so you had some current but still, that's a nice boost. Anyways, glad to see you're back on the water and on the move. Thanks for sharing and by the way, I'm extremely jealous of you both for attending the 50th anniversary of the moon landings and hearing Mike & Buzz talk...AND eating dinner below an SR-71. That's cool!

[@alankarenogrady1408]

Yes, Very honourable, Good that you picked up.

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

Glad to see you back on the move. I am old enough to remember the Moon landings. You are very lucky folks to see the astronauts!

[@madwldgrp1]

Congratulations, Ran looks great back in her element and so do you both. Fair down winds as you two head south along the West Coast of the US.

[@trumpetmano]

That Museum is the coolest place in Washington State!!!!

[@huffster6344]

It was really nice to meet you guys, but I also look forward to new video adventures with you! I wish you the best in your travels. On a side note, I was catching up on "Old Sea Dog" videos and never realized how much time you spent with him. Maybe you can talk him into coming up north for a visit the next time you see him. Take care. : )>

[@davidnichols147]

Certainly great to see both sailing together after Seattle. Your experiences certainly are one in a kind. Cheers!

[@lifeisgreen9233]

Growing together, this is what I see in you two. Learning and cheering experiences. This makes a life worth it!

[@somadevo]

Great seeing you underway after such a meaningful stop with all the very significant upgrades as you proceed with so much experience behind you assisting your great momentum. You are loved and admired...Infinite Blessings

[@corujariousa]

Nice work on the boat. It looks great. I expected the new sails will make a sensible difference on your travels. Stay safe, together and happy!

[@robfraley4210]

Glad all that work delay is over, and pretty cool you got to go to the Dinner at the Museum before leaving...!!

[@ocxb]

New sails really help with the way the boat handles

[@egolliher6933]

I love your videos so happy to see your boat back in the water would like to know more about new cells I'm so excited to see where you guys go this year

[@marcusornroth6388]

Nice to see you on RAN back in the water!

[@donjohnston3776]

Kudos to your gracious & honorable benefactor/host. As a viewer, I am touched by the goodwill & spirit of this chap and his family.

[@FromAboveAndBeyondChannel]

Now the boat is in perfect Conditions again. 🙂

[@ufodude1000]

A new boat!!

[@glassman51]

A wonderful sailing vlog attracts wonderful patreons Who make great friends in distant ports. I’m so pleased you too had a wonderful stay in Seattle! This was a terrific video and I always look forward to your Friday adventures. Cheers, Fairwinds and following seas

[@ABeriault]

Thank you for the nice clip! You two are truly a lovely sailing couple, an example for all! Cheers

[@davidnichols147]

The new sails look great.

[@MrJackwork]

Here at the ranch, we admire strong and humble people. Good stuff, partners.

[@Rpmsailor]

RAN looks great and so do you guys... the Challenger night looked like fun, and it is hard to say "so long" to great people. Fair winds!

[@tomd.3082]

Ran is looking great with her new sails. So happy you're on the water again. Can't wait to see where you take us next episode!

[@sagealonso2028]

Instablaster...

[@georgeferguson9779]

Glad to see y'all back in the water!

[@dianeswift]

So nice to see your boat all spruced up and back in the water. Lots of hard effort rewarded.

[@runristaren2]

Have you thought about getting soft chackels for the new blocks? Less noise and No corrotion its also easy to fix new ones If the old ones weare out.. 👍

[@mosca3289]

Wow, that museum looks awesome.

[@nomadequipment2177]

Wow that sr 71 blackbird 😳❤😍

[@specialteams28]

God bless America!

[@FighterFred]

Grattis till nya båten!

[@deeparks3112]

RAN is looking very shipshape and ready to voyage anywhere you decide. My best wishes for smooth sailing and much adventure.

[@Albert-wk8ts]

5:08 Wow. That bird sitting on the back stay - that's pretty impressive!

[@Gunnie1961]

Rán looks great and fast too. As a kid we use to go to the Museum of History and Industry across the street from my farmor's house in Seattle. Safe sailing and hope to see you in Southern California.

[@ancientmariner7473]

Congratulations on a fine refit! Lots of hard work, trials and tribulations which paid off in the end. The hull is looking very good. In fact reminds me of my navy days ...nice grey paint all over, is that a torpedo tube on the port bow! Seriously the grey does look good. How many expensive cars are grey these days? It's such a nice contrast to white plastic. My own modest boat is black...

[@timgelder4263]

You are so lucky to have gone to the Apollo 11 celebration. I'm jealous! I love your channel and I'm watching all of them

[@chascheess8470]

One of your best video's ever, so glad all is well with Ran! have the best of sailing that is ahead of you

[@raynic1173]

Awesome that your back travelling, By the way, the mic at the museum was pretty rough. A nice smooth stainless shackle can work for your jib sheet block in a pinch, of course you've got to keep an eye on it for chafe, but I've done it with out problems.

[@sarbart823]

Very Cool - Love you guys sharing your travels

[@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS]

Nice, you're back hugging the elements ;-) Nice new sails, better windage, more speed! As always, Big Thumbs Up, and shared across a number of networks! Greetings from Germany!

[@MonkPetite]

Wow back In that water.. but as an aviation nutcase .. I’m jealous at your invitation at the museum. Well done you two.. my heart is with you and Ran.

[@steamerAE]

So good to see you sailing again.

[@robjohnson2649]

Great to see you on the water again. Can't wait to see your next adventure. Fair winds and following seas. Congratulations!!

[@prmartin7259]

Great Episode. You do everything so well, the video the music the editing. 🎼🎥⛵👫😀😁

[@johnphillips519]

Very cool stuff, Lucky you to see that👍

[@davehurst2543]

glad to see the you guys got a chance to see my part of the world. I wish it had taken the time to sell South and west on Puget sound there's a lot of scenic highway is down there that are basically local knowledge

[@rrobison25]

Glad to see you back on the water! Your show is just delightful!

[@marcwouters6059]

Nice to see Ran on the water again . Ran is ready for it . Good to see that new sails can make such a difference on the same boat . I look forward to the new Ran adventure !!! Greetings from Belgium .

[@santosbay]

HAve a save trip and take care. thanks for sharing the nice video

[@mammacatta]

That family from Seattle seams like a really good one! Ha så kul och hoppas ni får lite varmare väder!

[@nessuno1948]

Good to see your pretty little sailing ship in the water once again. What amazes me, as an ex professional sailor, it the fact that there are two buoyage systems: IALA A and B. For us european the life saving rule is: Red to Red on entering, like the Rule of the road: Red to Red, Green to Green and you are safe. IALA B says the opposite which is quite confusing, for us, as it is confusing for americans or asians or others our IALA A, but we have the advantage of coherence.

[@jimjenkins673]

Always perfect. Fair winds ,,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,,,

[@ernestdougherty3162]

What a Beautiful episode so glad to see y'all back on the water after all the great people some things you got to do it's just lovely seeing y'all back and saltwater back with full sails be safe

[@TimWhittakerphoto]

Really loving your videos and stories. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Lovely to see true sailors not afraid of waters less tropical :-)

[@alanlovesmusic6442]

Looking pretty sweet back in the water! I always smile when I see those winches. :)

[@peterculverwell2030]

Great to hear the improved performance resulting from all the work you completed, great new sails too!! You must be very happy to be ready to head south in great shape. (After refitting some blocks) 😀👍

[@mikeh720]

Glad to see Ran back in the water!

[@waynedoeblin6801]

Great to see you back in the water,and on the move.I'm sure you're happy too😊 That special presentation you attended looked terrific,lots of memorabilia and history from space exploration.

[@cawfeedawg]

Ran looks fantastic running downind under new canvas... Can't wait for your new adventures!

[@jimczerwinski4951]

God Speed RAN,

[@jamesbond9873]

You guys are so lucky to have dinner under a sr-71. Wow

[@davebrown7321]

great to see your boat back in the water again looking good!

[@FJ55ironpig]

This made me so homesick. I lived in Port Townsend and Whidbey island for years. Great video

[@normanboyes4983]

Good shakedown and after all that investment in the hull, the iron sail and the big sails - RAN showed her appreciation with a great performance AND issued a reminder that past investment is not a guarantee that no further investment is required.😉😂😀👍⛵️

[@CarBjorn]

Thanks for doing my satuday morning to the highlight of the week =) Fair winds .

[@howardwhite9773]

6:31 - sailboat to SR-71 Blackbird, quite the transition... :D

[@SuperLaplander]

Great episode. you two are so lovely. Many hugs from Stockholm.

[@mz2288]

Ran looks great! I wish you both a fantastic season and will be watching every video. Fair winds!

[@mr.nomadic]

Great vlog and that blackbird aircraft looked awesome and RAN is looking good

[@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS]

That Blackbird looked like a prototype... a third engine???

[@captainmike808]

Ran looks so pretty! Nice work you two.

[@frankrice5364]

[@pkane5472]

And the adventure continues. Thank you

[@jacquelinehowden6432]

[@ekaos5099]

I am so happy you enjoyed some of Pugetopolis hospitality, Please tell your friends and come back and stay a while next time you are in the area. BTW, in the summers, Seattleites don't tan, we rust.
