Want To Sail Around Cape Horn In This? - Ep. 162 RAN Sailing

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching! Check out the videos we made about Johan's sail around Cape Horn, Antarctica and South Georgia Island here: bit.ly/2JSoIPW If you would like to join the crew and get some extra bonuses check out how here: bit.ly/2RO0B7j Love you guys!

[@atheistpeace7579]

Thanks for the link. I just joined. hope all is well with the baby

[@edrosenberger6947]

Those were very interesting and enjoyable videos. For the life of me, I do not understand how you can understand what each other is saying.....I know I can't understand a word ;). I've always dreamed of going the opposite way around the horn and on toward the Far East. Thank you for the captions and the videos!!

I worked at the San Francisco Maritime Museum when I was a university student in the 1980's. My first assignment was with the living history program on The C.A.Thayer. the program involved 11 and 12 year old kids who would stay over night on the Thayer and perform various sailor activities. ( the program later moved to the Balclutha) When I performed the roll of ships cook I slept in the cooks cabin next to the galley. It was a fun job and I really liked sleeping on the boat and waking to the sound of foghorns and seal lions. My great grandfather on my father's side, Johan Johanson was a Swede from Finland who built ships. He left Finland to avoid serving in the Russian army and emigrated to Australia where he married an Irish girl. They then moved to Arcata in Northern California where Johan built lumber schooners similar to the Thayer before eventually moving to San Francisco in the 1890's. I still have some of his chisels and planes he used when he was a carpenter. I'm really enjoying your channel. In addition to my great grandfather I have Swedish blood from my mother who was born in Dasland and then lived in Goteborg .My three Swedish uncles are now gone but I have many cousins. I visited Sweden many time in the 70's 80's and 90's but have not been back for many years . I loved sailing the archipelago of Sweden's west coast. The small fishing villages, the red houses, the pink granite and birch trees are all so lovely.

[@philgray1023]

Thanks for another great video folks. We were amazed to see the paddle steamer the 1914 Eppleton Hall. It has a colourful history and there is a book all about it. It was one of the last operating paddle steamer tugs ever and was rescued from a mud bank in the River Tyne where it was built. There is quite a story of skulduggery about the attempt to get its sistership to America, unfortunately that failed and it was eventually basically destroyed by the British Maritime Museum. Lovely to see that old girl still afloat after 105 years!

[@dcochran111]

Great video. Your crossing to Sausalito reminded me of all the wonderful times I windsurfed those waters 35 years ago. An ebb tide and 20+ knot winds made for great waves and wonderful sailing! If you are looking for books, check out Two Year’s Before the Mast by Charles Henry Dana. It is the true story of a young man who sails from New England to California in the 1830’s when Alta California was still part of Mexico. They trade at the missions up and down the coast before sailing back to New England. The rounding of Cape Horn was unbelievable in ships that couldn’t go to windward. The book became very popular when US settlers began to go to California because it was the best English language guide to the region.

[@steffanieschaeffer679]

We always enjoy your videos, but especially seeing you in our sailing grounds. We sail out of Sausalito and around Angel Island, Alcatraz, and Treasure Island. The high-wind area in the center of the bay is known as "The Slot" to all the local sailors. It's always a high adventure out there! Glad you found the anchorage in Richardson Bay, but sorry about the condition of the channel during negative tides. You have to stay in the exact middle or you will plow the fields. ;-) Thanks for visiting the San Francisco Bay Area!

[@buffalobob2002]

Flying Cloud was a clipper ship that set the world's sailing record for the fastest passage between New York and San Francisco, 89 days 8 hours. The ship held this record for over 130 years, from 1854 to 1989. - From Wikipedia

[@phildeeds8238]

It is good to see that Malin has her apatite back!

[@DonTuxito]

So when we lived in the Bay area we often went to Sausalito and first did some shopping at Molly Stone’s and then had a pick-nick at the Richardson Bay Marina, and every time our friends from Sweden came over to visit us, this is one of our favorite spots to take them to.

[@TheBlackRuffles]

Hi guys I follow you for a while, from Europe , live here in SF for the last 30 years..... . I was happy to see you guys having a great time in SF and than in Sausalito ....my very favorite place to hang out. Cheers .... and once again congrats on the news regarding the baby!!!!

[@billb.6109]

Thank you Malin and Johan another great video! We are so glad Malin is feeling better. Safe Travels.

[@humanafterall2076]

The gentleman talking about Loran, wow. As a pilot with an intimate understanding of Loran C, I tip my hat. And for the wonderful crew of Ran, I’m sure you could navigate an ocean without the digital world getting involved. Awesome to get to experience your journey. The beautiful thing about adventures is the ending. The greatest thing about endings is where the adventure takes us.

[@Tillersweep]

TD isn't Time and Distance TD stands for Time Delay.

[@000001willy]

Sausalito is a beautiful city. Looks like a great place to live. Not busy like San Francisco. Hope you are feeling better when you make your final departure.

[@okayfine298]

In 1978 I sailed from Honolulu to Sausalito over 24. Days. Seems like a lifetime ago ⛵️😪 three major storms in a row 1000 miles out from the mainland.

[@francisarrigo8789]

Thanks for having us with you again. Friday night's just wouldn't be the same without our visits. Just got through with Barry on the other side of the world. He seems to be doing fine and enjoying the islands. I told him about the "little sailor" in case he hadn't heard. Be well❤❤

[@captainmike808]

For some reason this one made me think of how much effort and energy it takes to do what you two do. Maybe it was the change in Windy SF to warmer weather just across a bay, maybe it was Johan finding the instrument for so cheap. I don't know but I do know I cherish each moment you two share with us. Miss you both. Aloha

[@BrassLock]

In your previous episodes, I saw a "tall ship" in the background, and hoped you'd 'give us a squizz'. Thanks for that. I wonder when the old sailors finally realised the earth was not flat; would be good to have an old grizzly Captain get on camera to explain the thinking process there. The Ocean Highways map sure illustrates the tremendous trade between Australia and the U.S. in those days for agricultural products, minerals, tools and workers wanting to join the various gold-rushes in both countries.

[@SailingMalie]

Just love the size of the timbers in that wooden ship.

[@jb9090]

I learned to sail on the SF Bay, so your trip here really brings back good memories. Cheers!

[@KP_1843]

Always enjoy your channel!

[@cm1971it]

Good to see that you guys are doing well!

[@davidgardener4139]

Great viewing as always.

[@riot6660]

Fridays are awesome. Last day of work week, and a Ran vid.

[@inixio11]

ideed...!!!

[@bayareablues2255]

5:20 - "It's Cold. It's windy" Welcome to summer in San Francisco. That "channel" is called The Slot, and catches the west wind coming in through the Golden Gate real nicely. During summer, we often get 20-30kt winds through there. Add the strong currents caused by the Golden Gate, and it makes for fun sailing! ;-)

[@prmartin7259]

Another wonderful video.Thank you again for sharing your sailing life with us. Stay safe, have fun. 👫🍦🍦🥖😁😀

[@sy-ronja3613]

Nice to see you two are in warm wether and well and Marlin‘s blood results are good. All the best to you. Keep up your excellent work!

[@murraywestenskow2896]

Glad "the fax" was the good news you want. I really enjoy being a part of your travels.

[@davidbutler5114]

I love the videos. Johan, being a Dad is the greatest thing in the world you’ll be great. Thank you for your story we are finally leaving the dock because of you and the many others that have come before. Fair winds.

[@jeanettedawson5166]

Thank you Malin and Johan another great video see you next Friday 😍😍

[@LoriG75]

What a bright and sunny video with some great sights to see! Glad you are feeling better and enjoying summer weather 😊

[@jimmyjohnstone7258]

It is a good that warm weather has found you. Hopefully the wind stays out of the North for your passage out of USA. Great that the pregnancy is going well. Stay safe. Best wishes from Scotland.

[@mikenewzealand4525]

Saturday morning in N Z wake up to a Ran video and a coffee what a nice start to the weekend !

[@kenburns2639]

You guys have made friday's better for all of us. Congrat's on the blood work results Malin. Hope your now enjoying Ensenada, Mexico. Cheers :D

[@moz1953]

thanks for bringing back wonderful memories of better days for me, be safe be well

[@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS]

Beautiful area, Sausalito! Thanks for taking us! 👍🏼 and shared.

[@jimczerwinski4951]

Been in that very ice cream shop in 2016. Small world. Glad to hear the blood test were good. Stay safe.

[@dhamma58]

This was a great reminder of my younger days, when many of the counter culture heroes lived on houseboats in the Sausalito area.....

[@gregh7457]

heroes? lol not to me

[@flomads9037]

RAN-like indeed. :D Stunning video. Your optimism gets me every time.

[@bigwallyhdfb]

Thanks for sharing and the history of the ships

[@mauiboy9763]

Excellent !! Thank you.

[@backthebadge4009]

Good job guys...hope all is well

[@en4ce_]

every time i see RAN now i am so "omg, this baby looks so guuud" with the new paint job! #loveIt! - i do like your videos as well :-P

[@JCAJCA3]

Riot 66 said it perfectly. Ran Fridays are awesome. GOD bless. JC

[@BB_Chaptsick]

Great video! Hopefully your nausea will pass soon. Until next Friday, you both be safe.

[@cliffcraig5594]

Your videos were great and showed the SF Bay the way I remember. I was a racing and cruising sailor on a boat named Leda, a Lapworth 36 #71 for many years. Loran’s were still very expensive in the 70’s so we used charts off shore with a radio direction finder. Monterey and Carmel are as picturesque as advertised and should be nice sailing this time of year. My only caution on our coast is Point Conception and south were the wind is unpredictable. Most of Chanel Islands have many anchorages. The weather gets warmer moving south, Enjoy!

[@rimasmeleshyus6545]

It’s beautiful video in San Francisco, California you guys made it I am following you for very long time. Absolutely incredible beautiful videos all. I lived in San Francisco seven years great city and Sailed from Hawaii islands by tiny sailboat in San Juan 24 foot ,where do not belong to be on the ocean. Than I sailed by 30 footer from San Francisco to Da Nang , Vietnam alone . San Francisco landmark and Golden Gate Bridge it’s famous for all the world . Good luck to you my Dear friend from Sweden Fair winds and following seas. Greetings from the garden island of Kauai

[@gatemana5]

TGIF! Its the day I always look for you. Stay well.

[@BillReitz]

Hey Johan, I like the way Malin had you filming and talking while she ate the ice cream. That was sneeky.

[@bubbagail7450]

Good Vid guys, hope Malin gets to feeling better soon. Glad to hear the blood test came back good. Smooth sailing.

[@mrc1539]

I’m glad you got to see the better parts of the Bay Area, and enjoyed your visit. Best of luck on your sail south but be sure to keep your eyes open , for there is a lot of big ships off our coast.

[@santosbay]

I'm glad to start the weekend with your wonderful video. Thanks for sharing, have a nice weekend and save journey.

[@530eman]

Love following your journey, especially when you guys focus on the history of where you are...God bless and safe travels... ha det bra...👍🏻🍻

[@VentureWild]

We went to visit the old ships in the bay as well! The history inside of them is just amazing! We spend the good part of two hours exploring and reading about them! So glad you went too it’s pretty awesome! Also the sourdough chocolate bread in town is amazing if you get the chance!

[@staroceans8677]

You've both been to so many beautiful places, I especially loved Alaska and British Columbia. It was also interesting seeing a lot of Seattle and good parts of Washington. One thing I would love to see is for you to eventually sail to Australia and maybe New Zealand. Australia seems to be as beautiful as well, with many great harbors and a lot of sailing/marinas. Hope you eventually make it there. Yours is a life well lived...smooth sailing!

[@warty2200]

5:14 Mark Twain quote: "The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco."

[@hackledrummer1543]

I've thought of that very quote for the last couple of episodes lol. So it's true then.

[@warty2200]

​@@hackledrummer1543 I'm a native San Franciscan, as were my Great Grand Parents on down. As a child my Father would bring up that quote any time I complained about being cold, especially in the summer. So yes, it's true.

[@tomwilliams8675]

We love you too❤

[@briancliffordsteele188]

Ice cream, cure for everything, have a good trip to Monterrey hope Marlin is ok.

[@jimjenkins673]

Awesome 👏

[@robinhodgkinson]

Wow what an extraordinary old boat. I once went on a true replica of the Endeavour, the boat Captain Cook sailed around the pacific back in 1770. What caught my attention was the “chunky” engineering. The pre industrial era steel work was all done in a blacksmiths shop and was huge, over engineered and primitive compared to the “modern” boat you were on. They now both look old but really it would be like comparing a Model T to a Mustang. Happy travels.

[@staroceans8677]

True, but the irony is they are still afloat, and could probably still sail.

[@Cedartree-cf6om]

Northern California receives constant changes in weather. Hot during the day, but chilly in the evening. Fog, lots of fog. But shorts and light clothing is good idea, always have a light jacket or sweater available. Good luck in Frisco area! Adios! PS; Congrats on blood test.

[@MrRJBooth]

Brilliant Many fanx :-D

[@AlsinoFerreira]

Great video guys

[@comsunjava]

Some tall ships (square riggers) did round Cape Horn, but if the movie Captain Bligh is adhering to the true story (around 1787), Bligh attempts to make a quick trip by sailing southwest (to the surprise of Fletcher Christian), but after a few weeks of battling waves and wind and cold, they turn back and go the usual route to Tahiti. So as Johan says they did go, or tryt but it was tough.

[@edwarnock4534]

Enjoyed your video! I and my wife live in Central California about 100 some miles east of San Francisco, about an hour away from Yosemite National Park. We will keep an eye out for your post!

[@risasb]

As you continue south, visit Star of India, a square rigger that also carried lumber.

[@steveburton5825]

Try to have some Dungeness crabs while you are there! My favourite crustaceans by far! (beating even my Canadian Maritime Lobsters).

[@roscoejones4515]

"Must have been a harsh life, if they even survived." Well said.

[@beverlyvo728]

Have you read the book "Endurance"? Watching your tour of older boats made me think of it. I so enjoy your videos and am sorry you couldn't get more time on the Pacific ocean. I live in WASHINGTON state, US.

[@jackvanderhyde8828]

I always enjoy your vids. I hope Malin feels better (Her bump is showing lol) Plz take care around the Southern tip of the Baja and Panama, bc of recent pirate activity.

[@dennisbrown3652]

My X- wife’s GG Grandfather was a captain and he sailed around the Cape from San Fransisco. He was out to sea 6 months at a time. They lived in San Francisco. I saw you heading for the chocolate store. Did you get any? Definitely a challenge being pregnant and sailing. Thanks for the video.

[@terrysmith1307]

I know that time gets away when visiting places but you should have stopped off at Alcatraz it is truly amazing can easily spend a day there looking and reading all about it

Would you round the Cape fully sheeted? I'm sure it was tough, but they knew as mucch then as we know now. Maybe better as they couldn't rely on GPS and plotters. Rules of thumb and discipline saved the day. Great vid.

[@MrJJSimonds]

Hi guys!... I've been following along now for a while, binge watching and am now current. I have enjoyed it. Please consider using a low-pass filter on your videos. You are likely not hearing the low end flutter from wind exposure, but it causes issues on my stereo when that much bass signal comes through.

Maby dont watch videos where there are things such as wind? Maby you could watch some motorboat videos instead?
