Traveling To Familiar Grounds - Ep. 146 RAN Sailing

[@Timopo]

In response to your closing words Johan, thank You so much for visiting us every Friday via KZbin. It means a lot to us subscribers as well.

[@Maoli2013]

I remember watching you pull away from the slip in Sweden when you began your journey. I've been with you ever since then. It's amazing how far you've traveled. While Ran is your home Sweden is your roots, your foundation. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future is for you. Thanks for inviting us along.

[@Choppermurman]

Really loved the glimpse of you both with loved ones back home. Especially the music Johan and his dad were playing. Those moments are the real treasure in life. I feel honoured and humbled to be invited into such moments via your video. Thank you both.

[@corujariousa]

Enjoy the trip to Sweden. Recharge for the new season, eat the things you miss and enjoy family/friends. Yes, traveling has changed so much over the years. I hope we'll go back to more civilized days still in my lifetime.

[@guyfrawley9662]

Thank you for taking me into your life and sharing your family.

[@stephenfleming7918]

It’s nice to see you folks out of your usual element enjoying yourselves with family and friends in Sweden. Seems you have a nice family.

[@billb.6109]

A very beautiful episode, ...Malin and Johan. You two are so Blessed, thank You for sharing your families with Us.

[@marcwouters6059]

Waiting six weeks for another great RAN video is a long time !!!!! Enjoy your family and friends !!!!!

[@jeffb4969]

I am now getting old (past 53) and you are teaching me things that I did not know about my own country. Makes you appreciate how the United States was formed. People from everywhere. Thanks!

[@chrislee1435]

Oh Home Sweet Home. That segment of home had me reminiscing about my life and when all the good souls were still around. That time when you could go home. You could just feel so comfortable at home. All you felt was spirit with all the different souls around. And in back of your mind when’s dinner ? and so nice to just open the fridge door anytime....Ahhh memories.. Reminds me I got to work on being that good old soul now.

[@suzanneouimet6977]

Home sweet home!

[@SuperLaplander]

Lovely to see that you got back to Sweden for some quality time with family and friends. I still clearly remember your first episode, you guys have come a long way! Much love!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Loved the video snapshots of you guys back 'home'. Great episode!

[@marcusornroth6388]

Home is always special and I hope you had a good time with family and friends here in Sweden. Sailing is so different from burning diesel with a comfortable motorboat. For me sailing is about freedom and a lot of impressions from the nature with a low impact on the environment at the same time. Lovely!

[@alfa156]

Heart warming.

[@far-flung8356]

I love following your travels. It's like seeing the world through someone else's eyes. Looking back, you will feel you lived a full and meaningful life. Because you have. And you are still young, so keep going, and stay safe.

[@ackack612]

No thumbs down! As it should be. Glad you made it home.

[@wayneschmidt9620]

Such a beautiful episode, i loved it. Thank you for sharing

[@moz1953]

always a total pleasure, take care guys

[@ernestdougherty3162]

Video guys so glad you made it home to Sweden to visit family and friends sounds like you had a good flight have fun be safe thank you for sharing

[@saillarry]

Fridays have been better because of your videos. Thank You! Please keep them up.

[@HopeOfJoe]

What a most fabulous experience to take us with you back to your Sweden home. Just wonderful.

[@leongiese2349]

I too thank you for your visit every week. Your calmness is addictive.

[@rw5092]

To let Johan dock a power boat as the owners guest says a lot about Johan and the owner! Well done!

[@edrosenberger6947]

I really enjoy listening to guitar music. A Swedish man I love listening to mainly plays his own beautiful melodies and his name is Per-Olov Kindgren. My favorite band still is ABBA. Swedish influence has traveled the world and the personalities of Malin and Johan continue to spread that influence. Another goody.....thank you both!!

[@JCAJCA3]

There is no place like home! GOD bless you guys! JC

[@petewhite85]

Nearly brought me to tears watching you in my old home on the Puget Sound. Traversing the locks and Poulsbo. I'm sure others have told you about the incredible 3rd of July fireworks display in Liberty Bay there in Poulsbo. If you can be there for that you will greatly enjoy it with all the boats anchored out in the bay and the incredible fireworks they have. It's a real Puget Sound tradition. Sorry to write so much but I have shared with my friends, still in Seattle and still living aboard, about your channel and not surprising, they all watch. One of them even tracks you guys on AIS. Safe travels and thank you again for your excellent videos.

[@RANSailing]

Yes, we’ve heard about the celebrations there 😊 Thanks a lot for sharing and watching!

[@selsyn73]

Johan and Marlin, I love the joy you share with us each week. Thank you both for sharing another episode of your lives. Johan, I liked the way you explained the differences in handling the boats. Enjoy your families at home. Peace

[@riccardoarati]

thank you guys for another great video. you are by far the chillest sail channel and you are just lovely. cheers

[@jamesbond9873]

Sweden will always be a friend of Canada 🇨🇦. We are so similar. Kind, food, music, and the love of life and freedom! And beer and drumming. Cheers 🍻

[@michaeldouglas6872]

That was quite a nostalgic episode and nice to watch, looked like you guys where a bit lost without RAN there at the end of episode at Marina , looking at other sailboats but not having your own there. Very nice episode again , nice of that Seattle follower to take you all out on his Trawler, very nice looking vessel also.

[@prmartin7259]

Thanks for this marvelous video. They always make the start of the weekend fun. 🎼🛫🎸🛥🍽🍬🍰👫😀

[@raynic1173]

Thanks for sharng. The best Christmas I ever experienced, at least as an adult, was when a storm came thru and knock out the power. Luckily all the cooking was finished, after dinner we sang songs via guitar and candle light, it was magical. (p.s. Johan you don't necessarily need speed to steer a twin engine boat, you can vary the engine speed, one over the other and that will turn the boat). Happy belated Holidays!

[@captainmike808]

Seeing my old home and the Puget Sound area, seeing your old home in Sweden and seeing where it all began. Wonderful memories for me in this one you guys. Thank you a million times for doing this for us.

[@vraymond108]

Great to see Poulsbo again with “your” eyes. We have been there so many times both by car and boat that the newness is gone. Thank you for reminding us what a special place it is. Our first sailboat we purchased on Lake Union and had to sail it up to Bellingham from Seattle. What a trip that was for new sailors. More about that when we meet you next.

[@tlowe2502]

Thanks guys, great video. Every week we look forward to seeing y'all. Be safe we love ya, from your fans in the swamps of central Florida. 🐊⛵👍💞🐾

[@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS]

Thanks to both of you Malin and Johan, for sharing your trip home!

[@sweetgirlsoles]

Thank you for all the nice moments. Years ago I followed several sail documentaries, today I am only with you. Is it a coincidence? How is it that the country Sweden and its stories so often inspire other people positively? I think of Saga Vanecek and her sword Excalibur, the climate activist Greta Thunberg, Pippilotta Viktualia and Emil i Lönneberga in my childhood, the land of BIG GREAT music. Ok, I never buy at IKEA for reasons - but I like Smilla's smile in TV-spots. And I accompany RAN and his crew. I have never had holidays in your country. What is the special Swedish secret, you have an idea? Wish you all the best!!! :)

[@BernalilloGirl]

Loved seeing you back in your homeland with family! Just beautiful.

[@bigwallyhdfb]

Thanks for sharing great videos glad you can spend time with family

[@okayfine298]

It's always good to go home.

[@ben_6199]

Here sitting in the waiting room of the hospital, attended the morning Mass and now just watched a Sailing Ran episode. Feeling great. I'm ready to get my ACL fixed. Bless you two. Another beautiful episode.

[@tomwilliams8675]

We love you guys.

[@Dr.Pepper001]

You guys have much to be thankful for.

[@markconyers11]

I always like your videos thank you for the adventure.

[@briancliffordsteele188]

It has been a joy to follow you from that dock to where you are now, thank you for a wonderful journey.

[@keithcope8113]

Its great that you can take time to go home and visit with family and friends all reminders of what you left behind on your great journey looking forward to seeing more of your homeland till next week stay safe

Dockan Marina! And a Viking Helmet... Johan looks like a true Viking Yes!

[@islandmikes-sailingandtrad8473]

We had a cabin near poulsbo as a kid. Great little town, makes me miss my Swedish grandmother...

[@judd_s5643]

I remember when you cast off on your epic journey, Thank you for taking us along.

[@paintlady2268]

Thank you for sharing a bit of your beautiful family and Homeland with us. See you next week.

[@bengt_axle]

Scandinavian homes (and even workplaces) have the best lighting. They allow for natural light and have light shades that are comfortable and elegant. It is nice to see your family and I even recognize some of Malin's!

[@christinaqueeno3874]

Your friends boat is beautiful!!! We lived next to the locks when I had my first baby. loved watching the boats.

[@jonathanmeek9490]

I look forward to Friday to view your episodes. Thank you!

[@peterculverwell2030]

A very special episode with your return to Sweden and family. Thanks for sharing this, heartwarming video. 👌

[@pixelanddots]

[@theislandpackrat]

That's great you took a break to go home and see family! That will make you love coming back to Ran and starting again!

[@AlRobNB]

Silent night. So nice to hear that In Swedish

[@flightplan1000]

Well, thanks again for the pleasant calm. What a delight...

[@AltMarc]

Thanks for your kindness to continue, even you merited some vacation from us...

[@garrytownson7552]

I look forward to Fridays and you're wonderful videos.....it is very welcoming, especially in this era of a very complex world, chaotic world.

[@dennisbrown3652]

Love your videos. Very heart warming and so glad you were able to go home and visit family..Thank you for sharing.

[@markedwards5289]

[@Dandersenification]

"Malmöööö!!! SKÅÅÅNEEEE!!!" --- Ingen annan hade skrivit det så jag kände bara att jag var tvungen! Mycket

[@Cedandkikisailing]

Saturday mornings watching your adventure are so inspirational... Johan, this morning I adapted my French-inspired crepes to your Swedish recipe you shared not long ago. Mmmhm 😊 while watching Ran Sailing. 👍👍

[@bja2024]

Terrific episode you two. Thank you so much!

I am glad that you visited Poulsbo. We enjoyed our visit there a couple of years ago.

[@SailingABSea]

Wonderfully entertaining as always.

[@unclebob6728]

I liked the Viking World Tour coaster @ 4.55. The whole country of Sweden looks like IKEA! Thank You!

[@BB_Chaptsick]

Great episode. Thanks for bring us along to see your family, friends and home.

[@ontiltsailingdalehudson7170]

It maybe bitter sweet to leave the boat, But it has to feel good to be back home again!

[@pricedives]

Thank you so much for sharing your travel home for Christmas & New Year.

[@darrellbelk426]

Nice job as usual you two. Can't wait till next Friday.

[@bornfreetraveladventure]

Your videos are really the only thing I look forward to anymore. In fact, after driving 400 miles today I was sitting in front of my computer watching this latest episode within 10 minutes of getting home. Had to feed my dog first, of course...ha ha. Please check on my boat, SV Spirit, if you happen to visit Puerto Escondido down in the Sea of Cortez. I haven’t seen her in a few years and I’m sure she’s not looking too good right now. You are my inspiration - from Seattle

[@somadevo]

Great seeing you back in Sweden to know more of that side of you.

[@gwfried1]

You guys are truly inspirational. Cheers from northern Calif.

[@elipsis6700]

Wonderful vid as always! Thanks for sharing

[@kenburns2639]

Another fun and informative video. Thanks. I was Port Commissioner in Poulsbo before sailing our liveaboard Hudson Force 50 to San Diego in 2000. Fair winds, you two :)

[@johnshoureas1629]

Are you the PBS documentary Ken Burns ?

[@kenburns2639]

No John. Cheers :)

[@steamerAE]

Another chilled episode, well done. Greetings from Germany and thumps up as every Friday.

[@tsamson2606]

Beautiful video

[@saintsi6997]

That video really hit the spot. Well done, you're soon be heading to take the crown from Delos, those people in those apartments probable live there lives thought you, being chain to the treadmill of paying the mortgage. Best wishes Si.

[@johnphillips519]

Awesome stuff, love these shows, i have been binge watching for some weeks, you could say i am hooked🤣

[@chenegabfree7617]

Yep, home is home and always holds great memories. I so enjoy your videos and especially while you’re visiting my second home - Alaska, BC, and Washington State. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures. I love the quality of the videos and your down to earth life style. Enjoy home but, - Sail on..! Cheers Sv Chenega

Ginger bread fortress of Awsome, that’s was amazing Christmas architecture

[@rogermace4516]

Your vids are so calming and relaxing ... well done.... Keep Well and Safe

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

Ain't it hilarious how Johan the sailing seaman got into a crush with all that motoryacht push-button maneuvering?

[@Deerwood1985]

Just excellent.

[@frankrice5364]

As always love the story with the vedio

[@MartialLONGANGUE]

[@brianstewart2032]

Welcome home! Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a great start to 2019. More adventures this year once you get your work done in Seattle. Look forward to being a member of your on-shore crew in 2019.

[@sarbart823]

Wow . great video . and I remember the first i saw you leaving the dock in Sweden. Bon Voyage

[@robfraley4210]

Lake Union in Seattle is where Kenmore Air Harbor Seaplane base is located, one of the biggest in th USA, they have the Beavers & Otters as well as some Cessnas like you just flew in except on floats.
