We're not always prepared - Ep. 31 RAN Sailing

[@forkdriver500]

All 31 episodes back to back.....I'm really quite tired now. Thanks for having me along for the ride ;-)

[@RANSailing]

Well done! :) Thanks for watching!

[@johnlcallaway]

The best stories start with "We didn't plan on doing this, but..." It's one thing to plan for a safe passage. Planing on having a good time often just creates stress! :-) Thanks again for sharing!

[@RANSailing]

So true! :-) We like to not have everything planned. It makes life a lot easier and spontaneous and like you say, it keeps the stress levels down... :-) Thanks for watching!

[@Jakfilm]

I believe the BEST stores start with "Here, hold my beer..."

[@alaskanalain]

The best places, and best adventures I have ever been on have started by getting lost.

[@lorrinbarth1969]

I think the best stories start with, "We probably shouldn't be doing this."

[@Dan.Whiteford]

The scenery you showed us was just amazing but, for me, the shots of those cliffs and their erosion was absolutely the best!

[@Jakfilm]

What an amazing place.

[@chiefvia4170]

when I watch your videos it makes my heart sing. My wife and I are 63 and retired land lubers all our life. We live on a beautiful farm in the Ozark mountains of Missouri U.S.A I want to go sailing so bad and we are very adventurous but all around us say we are crazy. By the grace of God it will happen.

[@RANSailing]

Of course it will happen if you want it too! And don't listen to what other people say. We say, go for it :)

[@edwardfinn4141]

Chief Via you know , you could 'ease into ' the sailing life by chartering a sailboat in one of many exotic locations through out the world...

[@bophoto]

Chief Via - "just do it"

[@billym8915]

You guys always get the best drone shots. They are always an enhancement to your videos, never forced. Another great video. Safe travels

[@MrPaulcm1]

Wow, those cliffs were amazing.

[@richardlawson8105]

The footage from the island is so beautiful, you guys did a great job producing a fantastic video. Continue to take your time and enjoy the beautiful world you are exploring. Who knew Cape Verde was so beautiful!

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Richard! Cape Verde is such a nice place. Friendly people and fantastic nature! Take care

[@petervobr8842]

As a sailor I love your story of the adventure, the passage and life at sea. As a geologist I love the story that the vision of the mountains tell of volcanic eruptions and erosion of the landscape.Your video skills and presentation just keep getting better as they look even more professional each episode. Well done.

[@panther105]

I just couldn't let a warning sign go by without getting a translation = "Dangerous area for (bathing) swimming". That sculpted shoreline is awesome. Even your "not well prepared" adventures are great. Your way of visiting new places is the best...!!!

[@n7gn]

Thank you so much. Your eyes, your drone have shown us views which are so rare and beautiful that they may have never been seen before.

[@mason8997]

Hey Guys! Been watching your videos since the beginning. One of the things that I have noticed is that you will spend a lot of time hiking around the places you visit. I would recommend that you may want to consider using "Hiking Gators". They will prevent the stickers, thorns and small stones from getting into your shoes or hiking boots. I use mine every day as I walk 4 miles on dirt and gravel at my place here in north central Texas just south of Mineral Wells. Loving your videos. My very best regards, Irwin!

[@johnnybarbar7435]

Beautiful video! A very big thanks for taking the time to make this series.

[@RGUS100]

Just discovered you guys... I've been watching 'Sailing La Vagabond' a couple of Australians doing the same thing. But... I think you guys have better videos and seem to really get into the places you go. Well done and I'm so, so jealous.

[@bobbiejay2085]

Different styles and people. Im Australian and am catching up with the RAN videos. Love the in-depth descriptions and explanations ... both boat and sea/weather related and the on-shore excursions. Always intriguing and informative.

[@MikeSantis]

Those islands are paradise for photographers/videographers. The location with the amazing rocks and the big waves was just fantastic! Now, definately I want to make a long stop with my boat there when eventually we will sail away. And I will just spend hours and hours capturing the fantastic nature of those amazing islands!!! Thank you guys. Watching this while you are now half was to Hawaii. Have a safe trip.

[@peterculverwell2030]

Another amazing video, spectacular drone footage and so well presented 👌. You guys are real professionals.

[@tomtribby2309]

What an amazing place, You presented it so well. The drone footage is very good.

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much!

[@48William]

I've watched your videos for quite some time always enjoyed your travels. I went back to watch your earlier videos and wow you two do an excellent job of showing not only sailing but fantastic seanery and lots of history thank you so much for sharing your amazing experiences. You make a great couple.

[@prereed]

I think this has been the best episode. The aerial video was stunning, you both look like you are having a great time, the music mix was an excellent choice. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@haroldgjr]

Johan, you are a wizard with the gyro copter video landscapes. I have never seen anything like them.

[@KennethRayable]

Beautiful country to hike in. Enjoyed the sea crashing on the rock. Commentary was interesting as well. You are swiftly becoming my favorite channel.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Kenneth!

[@davidc6510]

Beautiful sculpted landscape on the waters edge! Great video of a very scenic country side! Thanks for sharing

[@bensteel3944]

With the scenery how can you not love the Cape Verde islands ... Awesome footage again guys ...

[@majesticmark6054]

Having watched all your travels it still amazes me the gorgeous scenery you have captured. Just as spectacular every time I go back and watch again these amazing travels of yours.

[@VictoriaWargaming]

loved seeing the little birds - look the same as the ones outside my window here in Canada

[@SailBeforeSunset]

Wonderful update. Your videos are always a perfect mix if story and video shots!

[@rolfflorentinus9603]

You are lucky to travel around the world like this and and injoy yr videos very much

[@000001willy]

I love the aerial shots. They add so much to your vlog.

[@ronharbin6678]

The shots you took at the shore and in the mountains paid for your drone. What a beautiful place. You WERE prepared by having taken your drone. By the way, you were correct about "red sky in the morning". Great video - Thank You.

[@grandmothjohn4315]

+RAN Sailing - Beautiful photography in a stunning setting, and a very well put together story. Please keep it up. Additionally, it looks like you've uncovered an exceptional point break for surfing @ 5:30

[@thatdutchguy2882]

Those rocks are awesome and what a beautiful island,......Thumb's up 👍.

[@lrs8369]

Great video, love the drown shots and your editing. The ocean and rock formation were terrific. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@rodmoyes2235]

Another great video. A great view of the island and its natural beauty.

[@TitusLivy777]

The quality of your photography just keeps getting better! Really beautiful!

[@pauljenson8042]

Incredible drone shots. So interesting. Thanks for your excellent videos.

[@JS-cs8gz]

Beautiful cliff/ocean shots. Your DJI has served you well. The picture quality is excellent and the videos that you splice into the overall production is captivating. Keep up the good work.

[@jamesedwards1588]

Wish I could give two thumbs up.

[@LazyJacques]

I'll give you one of mine!

[@Mindy56743]

Looks like the ocean was showing off! Awesome!

[@mumblic]

I really like it that you take the time to explore the different islands and all the different places. Many sailors just stop there to restock supplies before crossing the Atlantic. They are missing out a lot. Bon voyage!

[@janisripple754]

Mum Blic agree you do a beautiful photography

[@CheshireCanary]

Beautiful drone work. There are really no words to describe how much I love cliffs. Great Job. Can't wait for the next video. Fair the winds!

[@marionhill3886]

Loved the natural landscape scenes.

[@marcellosilva1625]

Hello, I'm watching the videos of you, and I'm loving it, Cape Verde is beautiful, and it speaks the same language as the place where my home is, Brazil, congratulations to you, love watching your videos ...

[@TurbaFilm]

As long as you make this wonderful movies I don't care where that would be..... :) Stunning drone shots! I have the Cape Verdes listed on my wishlist.

[@Vepoch]

Beautiful drone footage!

[@janisripple754]

UrbanForage Awesome Drone Photography..we like the animals too!

[@normanboyes4983]

You make really high quality films that are an absolute pleasure to watch. The drone shots were particularly spectacular.

[@BrassLock]

When you get to Australia you'll instantly feel a connection; all important exploration is done wearing flip-flops (locals call them 'thongs'). I enjoyed your camera angles and selected viewpoints of architecture, paintwork, natural coastal scenery and local animal life. Thumbs up!!

[@acmeopinionfactory8018]

dav snow In SoCal they're Zorries.

[@mattpower8394]

The aerial footage in this episode is absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing 😃

[@randaneure]

I really enjoyed this epp: It was really cool to add a previous life you had in the begining. I have been following around 2014? WOW thumbs up !!!

[@Rocksider2525]

Great job. Just some great places. Much love. Thanks.

[@MichaelPaulHenderson]

Fantastic, relaxed, gorgeous episode! Well done RAN People!

[@jessicakirchoff1214]

Thanks again for the beautiful views with your drone! Those rock formations are breathtaking. Absolutely worth a visit!

[@uceid]

The drone shots were amazing... What an amazing place!

[@MonkPetite]

Thanks you for sharing this beautiful report about Cape Verde islands. Again you made awesome vlog. But I also noticed..Ran needs a belly scape .. lol

[@dekkerdiane439]

Your videos are so nice and peaceful, like yoga for my eyes. Thanks!

[@kd4ysi]

looks like y'all had a blast for sure looking forward to the next one

[@vikz5786]

Wow, your guys camera work just keeps getting. Love the fact those vans/taxis are full of locals! :-)

[@vikz5786]

"...just keeps getting better and better..."

[@nheeren1]

I love your videos so much. Awesome island. Slow down a few of the pan shots. Such an amazing area. Thank you.

[@MsPdog1]

What beautiful Island.

[@toxic-gb2vf]

The no plan plan! My fav...thanks for sharing you two.

[@mstraupe]

Amazing drone shots. Nice job guys.

[@jrp616]

[@ArturoEscobar56]

Great show, and what a fantastic place!!!!!!

[@saltyduck9435]

[@RANSailing]

Thank you :)

[@tlowe2502]

Great video, Thanks for sharing your travels with us . Wish you safe and happy sailing.

[@dtonvista]

Wow, beautiful photos and some great aerial videos of the cliffs, thank you!

[@nemmmjuuk7989]

Big thanks for another great video! :)

[@billybeerman2657]

Wonderful scenery. Another great video guys!

[@niagara1238]

Great video. The Drone footage really is amazing!

[@kelcomco]

Cutest couple ever....keep on keeping on :)

[@dennismacdonald2003]

You two are amazing. I become patron in February for sure. Love your concept of a sailboat and sailing

[@allsearpw3829]

EPIC VIDEO ,THANK YOU FOR SHARING

[@mikeskor6230]

Some lovely rock formations and great drone footage.I can see why there are signs up saying it is dangerous for swimming. Looks like the waves could sweep you away in an instant.

[@acmeopinionfactory8018]

Love your videos, they show the everyday cruising life without resorting to 'look how cool we are' or trying to gain viewers with gratuitous T&A. Did you visit the fish cannery? When I was there, many years ago, they were hand-soldering the cans. Went there looking for a V-belt for our alternator, they didn't have one, but put out the word to the rest of the town and we found one the right size or close enough, the next day. Great experience with the lovely people there. We were invited to dinner at the belt provider's home and had a lovely evening, even though we did not speak Portuguese but did have some Spanish and Catalan, you learn to make do.

[@RANSailing]

No we didn't know that you could visit the cannery. That would have been interesting! We think people here in the Cape Verdes is really friendly! And they are good at fixing stuff to, like the alternator problem we had in our last episode. :-) Thanks for watching!

[@acmeopinionfactory8018]

People with little money find creative ways to accomplish their goals, instead of simply buying their way out of the problem, or resorting to unattainably expensive technology. We're all falling into the great chasm that is 'unrepairability', forcing us to give up more of what is becoming increasingly more difficult to obtain, money, in order to keep shareholders and CEOs happy. Rant over.

[@Richard-vw8no]

Greats vid. Your drone shots are just stunning.

[@CITAP1]

What fun. What a pretty place.

[@pnwesty7174]

Simply fantastic.

[@Dr.Pepper001]

On Cape Verde, no one gets in a hurry. So laid back. My kind of island.

[@followtheboat]

[Liz] I've been told by every cruiser I've met who has been there, that the Cape Verde islands are fantastic, even the best place they've ever made landfall. From your footage, I can see why! Have you made friends with any local people, and what is the welcome like? Peace and fair winds!

[@bking0220]

Another beautiful video. I learn so much from your travels - thank you!

[@laurentfroggy6631]

superb video, beautyful place seen from the air. thanks for sharing too.....

[@danielhoyle3546]

Beautiful video, wonderful Drone photo's. Thank you.

[@jerryf609]

Stunning scenery. Thank you. Good voyage.

[@aztekjp]

...vaše přirozeně snědá pokožka námořníci :))*

[@moz1953]

fantastic travel vlog guys, be safe

[@Davebbell1]

Beautiful!

[@clarkshafer377]

Great drone footage and editing... I just noticed watching all your videos and with the thousands of miles of sailing between you guys... you both still have the same pair of sunglasses from when you left in February , I'm really impressed. I've owned a boat for about 2 years and sail locally in the calm of Southern California and I'm on my 5th pair of sun glasses :p Love the videos keep them coming !!!

[@rustie4242]

maybe you guys drink too much !!!

[@acmeopinionfactory8018]

Clark Shafer Get a leash!

[@RANSailing]

Haha! Yes, I'm amazed that they have survived this far. :-) Thanks for watching!

[@marchall4528]

Your video work is great. Thank you. love watch and learning from you two.

[@sentimental7167]

Really amazing lanscape! Thanks for the beautiful images! I actually enjoy that you alsways give informations on the places you go.

[@BonnieVolkle]

So beautiful

[@markuslaine1611]

Have to concur with some others: Great use of drone footage in this video! Beautiful scenery, both inland and on the coast.

[@burton_burton_burton]

Gorgeous! Your shots, as always, came out so amazingly well.

[@KristianPletten]

Lovely video. And those rock formations..!

[@TheBorninfeb]

Amazing, Sobhan Allah.

[@burkcw]

The cliffs and drone views were fantastic. Thank you. I hope you find a solution for mal de mer. There is so much more for you to show us. I love your beautiful boat. It looks capable of going anywhere.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Will! RAN is a nice boat, not new but capable yes. :-)

great episode, thanks :)

[@jolinevdk]

Great video, well put together, brilliant footage!

[@davidgaddes]

Awesome footage,great place. Have put that on my list for when i do get to sail around the world,def be stopping by there and exploring as you guys just did in the vid. Look forward to seeing more. Safe Travels

[@shipskepr1]

awesome footage guys

[@jomama2988]

stunning images...great drone work!

[@robfraley4210]

OK, You never said How you got out of that place they dropped you off at 4:07 Bout them sandstone cliffs there were interesting, And the Drone footage 6:52 Was FABULOUS 😳😎👍✅. I sure wish they still had that model Toyota 11:09 Land Cruisers but even if they did they aren’t sold in Merica Any more, the middle East and Australia 🇦🇺 still have them 🤭🤔

[@mdadzrai]

God bless yous!
