We're SAILING to a true summer's PARADISE! - Ep. 256 RAN Sailing

[@Valerie_Dawn]

Malin has such a pleasant voice. It is soothing to hear her narration and it fills in so much about what is happening. Vera falling asleep on the bicycle was very sweet. Thank you for sharing another pleasing adventure.

[@NibsNiven]

Vera is so well behaved. When I was her age, I was throwing things, uprooting plants, digging holes, pulling cat tails, and vomiting on everyone. Peak fun! It's been downhill ever since...

[@teejay7157]

That was art! Such a beautiful episode. So peaceful and lovely. Vera was just a delight and it's so wonderful to be able to "visit" the incredibly beautiful Swedish coastal islands with the two of you. You are such great sailors, parents, adventurers, story tellers, videographers... thanks for taking us along with you.

[@fiziwig]

Watching Vera on the bike made me laugh. She is so sweet.

[@ratishmenon3353]

Vera is such a cutie pie, her naughty impish smile is soooo precious

[@nancyhunka3059]

Thank you for another wonderful episode. Sweden is so beautiful! Vera asleep on the bike was precious.

[@brunomeral7885]

Thank you for bringing us with you, this is my weekly dose of evasion, and I can't stop smiling during all the vlog. It feels great!

[@stephentuttle4737]

Vera looks to be growing considerably. Love that you have your channel so close to "real time". Thanks for making great quality videos.

[@billb.6109]

We enjoyed this Ep.as much, as Malin enjoyed her cinnamon bun! Speaking of that,..."Yes mom I am eating this dandelion, You had a cinnamon bun, and I had a bag chips, hummmm, I wonder if those purple flowers are tasty". Safe travels!

[@johnburgess5534]

Of my 50 subscriptions RAN is my favourite. Content, photography, family atmosphere, I could go on. Fantastic viewing. Thank you so much for sharing. JB

[@cliffstevenson5773]

Charming episode. Malin has the perfect sense of wonder and love of life to guide these videos. Johan, I also got a lot of pleasure imagining RAN's smooth hull slipping through the sea. And Vera is getting bold - this is good, she will need strength and confidence for our future.

[@davidball3081]

Lilac blossoming, and a symphony of joyous birds all around....🙂

[@ExclusivelyReclusive1]

For anyone living outside of Sweden planning of visiting i can say that Summer in Sweden is so perfect its amazing. Beautiful nature, lakes near wherever you go in the country, you can camp, pick berries and mushrooms freely. It's called Allemansrätten, I'm guessing our neighbors also have that law. I would highly recommend Stockholm, Gotland (Visby), Northern Sweden and Falkenberg. there is a lot more places that are amazing though.

[@robertbartelmes7623]

ahh, Malin ... I love the Gusto with which Malin devour's the vanilla custard cinnamon bun ... You Go, Girl ...

[@RANSailing]

😊

[@ps4peace]

Just love your adventures & meeting others, their passions, etc. What a wonderful world in such a trying time. Thank you!!

[@BillChild2njoy]

😀😀😀 Happy Mother's Day in Sweden. The 20th, yesterday was Father's Day in the US and I had the first lobster dinner in a year ... a Father's Day gift from my daughter in Seattle...(money transfer to me to go out and buy) .. I bought a miniature Orchid with a magenta lobster looking form on its petals. And I sold a painting of my new style !!! Yea!! What a great Father's Day !!! EnJoy your times and especially the simple pleasures in life.

[@bdphourde]

I always feel so intellectually stimulated and also very relaxed after watching your videos! It is great to see so much of Sweden in it's 'natural' state without us tourists everywhere! My lilacs in Michigan just finished blooming a couple of weeks ago and I was reminded of their fragrance just looking at them.

[@DobDog151]

An island settled to escape the Plague. What a great metaphor for these times. Another great video. I’m so wanting to visit that part of the world someday.

[@DaveHines1]

Good to see you having a more relaxing time after all the boat work . All the sailing channels seem to have a slightly different style , but many like you show you being yourselves, I loved seeing Malin revert to a little girl when she had that cinnamon custard bun 😃🥂🍻

[@BillChild2njoy]

That bike scene was great and it must have been difficult to film. He's like a Hollywood pro cameraman!! Vera is so coming alive in personality.. oh the jazzy music during the bike ride was perfect .. fun !!

[@juliesimpson3729]

Love it that you take me to new places every week and show me a different lifestyle from I’m used to. Thank you for that!

[@michaelsamuel4159]

Vera is so chilled. She made me go take a nap. lol

[@MrPaulcm1]

Wow, that's beautiful. Nice to be back in the water, ooh and that cinnamon bun does sound and look delicious. You had some great fun on the bikes, awesome, what a gorgeous Island and that guys house with the signs was unique. Thanks for another great vlog. :-)

[@russellleach1942]

I see shorts, must be warm. I am glad you are back on the water. We also loved the walk and light houses. Thanks again for a wonderful video.

[@HellyWelly93]

I loveeeee Swedish Islands without cars 😍 they feel so safe!

[@donnalangiewicz1084]

A Island with only 100 people, no cars. When can I move there is the question I'm asking myself. Perfect. So Beautiful. Vera has a wonderful life to grow up in. God Bless You.

[@Antti_Nannimus]

"The boat is ship-shape." Congratulations on that great accomplishment once again. However it's not quite exactly true yet because the "wind instrument" is no longer working. So it seems that sail-boating is just like regular life, because it's always just one goddamn thing after another. Have a GREAT summer of sailing together!

[@MTHusaberg]

Funny as hell!

[@bruster46]

Vera is such a delightful little girl. So sweet, .

[@joakimsall8384]

Härlig film fr Kosteröarna. Håller med om att försommaren är årets bästa tid med alla blommor och all grönska som ”exploderar”. ☺️👍🏻

[@pavichapin]

I always have to translate :) Lovely film from the Koster Islands. Agree that early summer is the best time of the year with all the flowers and all the greenery that "explodes"

[@IteKLF]

Ive been to Koster only once, it was super windy, we were 5-6-7 boats tied to eachother in the harbour and lost our anchor as it disassembled from the anchor chain. You can imagine the sight when we pulled the anchor and nothing else than chain came up...!

[@agesolari]

Love Vera’s clothes! Congrats guys! Regards from Panama 🇵🇦

[@greenieg3335]

Love your videos! Welcome back out on the water

[@richardclarke8585]

Loved that sign on the shed "Kiwi next 1200 Km” Im a Kiwi , never seen a sign like that here, they are a very protected bird here now as imported predators have wrecked havoc on them and a most of the native species . On the upside much is been done to reverse that trend . Really enjoy your videos they broaden our horizons to be sure :-)

[@dreamvideotelevision4540]

Din produktionskvalitet är alltid den bästa. Maten ser alltid smaskig ut. Bra bilder och sömlös redigering gör alltid en fantastisk video.

[@stevenlevstik7257]

Thumbs up from Steve and Mary in San Diego.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks guys! 😊👍

[@gregpeterman1102]

And from Tallahassee, Florida. (Again)

[@margaretbrudzinski5411]

I so love your videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@jamesbillington5058]

Great camera work. I am sure you get extra exercise setting the camera up, walking away from it, then having to go back and pick it up. Wonderful.

[@MC-re2ry]

If there is a better sailing channel I have yet to find it. Some are almost as good but none are better.

[@CM-yq9cx]

Another fantastic video. Your story telling about the things you come across is so informative. Love it!!

[@konaok1]

Vera = Superstar. Bless you, All!

[@rollotherichkid5224]

I like Vera's new hat. She is looking so mature.

[@billeubank4888]

What a beautiful episode. The ocean, the greenery, the sunlight, and of course Vera.

[@bluewendytube]

Another uplifting video to enjoy before bedtime! Always so relaxing and a great way to de stress, after watching the latest news!

[@bryansmith1920]

Spring early Summer brings such Joy to life Even at 67yrs old I can still fee the Thrill of it thank you for giving me that feeling back

[@gingin21jr]

Thanks for sharing. Vera is a cutie 😊

[@unclebob6728]

Thank you,RAN!

[@ktcanuck]

Happy to see "Session IPA" means the same there as in Canada!

[@francineboulet347]

Toujours fort plaisant de découvrir de nouveaux lieux avec vous..

[@margolenney6032]

I cannot believe it’s summer. It was only ‘last week’ that we saw you blocked in by the ice.

[@bengt_axle]

I know this is a sailing channel, but cycling through Scandinavia on a bike is absolutely delightful. It is mostly flat, very picturesque and roads for slow cycling are often quiet. Cycle touring is quite popular in Europe. But even if you don't have a bike, you can just show up at many small villages and train stations and rent one for very little. Thanks for these wonderful videos showing your country. Does the Swedish lobster have front claws?

[@staffankarinpappila3975]

Oh yes!🦞

[@bengt_axle]

@@staffankarinpappila3975 very interesting. I thought Europe regarded Homarus Americanus as an invasive species. Perhaps there is now a hybrid.

[@HarrietUlrika]

@@bengt_axle The native lobster in Swedish waters is Homarus Gammarus.

[@bengt_axle]

@@HarrietUlrika thanks. I now see that there’s several cold water lobster varieties and most in that climate have claws while those in the Caribbean don’t.

[@potterkelly487]

Thank you! I really enjoyed the scenery, cute little Vera, nature.🇨🇦❤️

[@sm6wet]

Kosteröarna is really nice. Personally I prefer Nordkoster. Been to that hill. We had an IOTA amatuer radio expedition there some 9 years ago.

[@harold1316]

Hello from Louisiana, USA. I love watching your videos. Thanks for your hard work and for allowing me to visit your family and country through your videos. Malin and Vera are wonderful

[@crismoore6811]

Such great informative, harmonious videoes. Such amazing family.Vera will be tall for sure. I learn so much about sweden. Thank you. Tourist office should pay you for all great info.

[@larrymacaluso9051]

Another excellent video, l have been watching you two for a very long time, but lately whenever l see little Vera involved in whatever is going on it just warms my heart. Watching her sit at the table like a little adult is just amazing, soon you will be chasing her up and down some of the hiking paths that you now carry her. Just a very pleasurable video, well done. Thanks for sharing, fair winds and safe travels.

[@fit-matters]

What beautiful Island. I am sorry I have not seen many videos this last while Life gets in the way some times. Your Vera is growing really fast, cute a a button. A real water baby, "She jumped right in", LOL. Loved the video will get caught up on the other, safe sailing.

[@bubbagail7450]

Hard to guess who enjoyed the bike ride the most Vera or Malin. Great vid as usual. Take care.

[@MrHaiopei]

A wonderful day, first a video from RAN and then from the Old Seadog.

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

I don't know what day it was but I'll say Happy Mothers Day Malin. I see it is the last Sunday in May. Best wishes Bob.

[@johnbaxter8569]

Another lovely episode... Thanks...

[@duartemonteiro7463]

Thank you Johan, Malie and Vera for sharing all the history of Sweden! I'm getting more and more interested. 😊💪💪💪🇵🇹🇸🇪

[@magnushallegardh]

Watching this video in my boat, now in Tjörnekalv

[@sailinglatis]

Great fun with the music this week (along with your usual high quality productions). Great video. Many thanks.

[@runristaren2]

Nice to meet you at Rörö this weekend have a great sail south hope you avoided the thunderstorms 👍

[@susannawestling7044]

Härligt att få höra skogens ljud - vi är i Sydney, Australien, så väldigt annorlunda

[@thecoinjar]

Once again thank you for your videos! We always look forward to our Sunday mornings when we pour a cup of coffee put on your video and relax. We are taking note of all these wonderful "off the beaten path" touristy locations and hope to one day visit your wonderful country!

[@thefullmonte1902]

Vera is definitely a Viking - 15 degrees... my god :)

[@kevinbwillson4161]

Thank you three for sharing your wonderful loving life beautiful yachting adventures. My Nana came from Sweden growing up with the food an their wonders Thanks again Love

[@MrCrabbing]

The boat and boathouse set up looks fantastic, Lobster was £26 a kilo here the other day

[@ЮрийШипицын-ж9м]

Thank you , better than a movie ...

[@tree4408]

Another sweet field trip! Thanks. "Papa Mau, The path finder" a utube sailors would like. 🤠

[@davejackson3926]

Happy Mother's Day to a wonderful mother!

[@stefanfriberg4358]

Såg er idag på Rörö. Ni är hjärtligt välkomna!

[@prankishsquire2663]

OMG, Vera has grown so much, she is adorable!!

[@pkane5472]

Your channel tops all sailing channels for cinematic acumen. It seems you plan every shot perfectly. I love the montage starting at 5:26 where you walk away from the camera with the beautiful scenery in full view.... Just terrific!

[@billylallen2662]

It would have been interesting to have a tour on the lobster boat, maybe next time.

[@sheerluckholmes5468]

G'day to my favourite Swedes from down under 🇦🇺. The smell from the Lilac must have been just gorgeous.

[@mikewillis2934]

Always love your videos whether in Alaska or in your home waters

[@gidge34]

Happy Mother’s Day!!

[@moz1953]

as ever a complete pleasure to view - thank you XxX

[@smokedoliver1]

This was one of your best. I wouldn’t mind move there myself, no cars, I could ride my horse everywhere.

[@jlsinchina]

The audio of the birds is lovely.

[@Oggiwara1]

Good to see you back in the water. I just love your history lessons along your way. Koster and many similar islands have the history of the so called "Fishermen-farmer" or "Fiskerbonde" as we call them here in Norway. Both my grandfathers where Fishermen-farmers, due to the farms on the islands often was too small to provide good enough income alone.

[@andvil01]

You missed the Naturum. The museum for the whole marine national park. A reason to come back.

[@ABeriault]

Thank you for bringing us along such a lovely summer excursion! Cheers to next week

[@Viendopiedra5029]

I suggest a 3 wheel BOB stroller. We had one with shock absorbers! Great for off-roading over rocks, etc and running as well.

[@mstp69ify]

Simply nice, many thanks

[@andyjamesable]

Beautifully made film as always .. interesting to see how your northern seasons are a bit behind us. Here in the Southern part of France our blossom and lilac has long since come and gone whereas you seem to be in full bloom !

[@glenntaylor5638]

It looks like you have an air bubble in your compass; hopefully it is the fillable type when you turn it upside down!

[@perhennung]

my dream couple/family!🍓

[@UziRyder1]

Very nice.

[@steventrostle1825]

I really enjoy your vids, especially your wonderful and joyful daughter, she brightens the whole vid. THANKS

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Absolutely beautiful scenery and watching Vera is so joyful. Blessings to you all as you continue your beautiful journey ⛵️⛵️⛵️😘

[@brodiaga5]

9.24 admiral for you crews

[@DB-ot2cr]

Amazing...always enjoy your videos. If I can ask, can you put back the month(like you used to show in the beginning of each episode) which the episode takes place. It kanda puts things better in perspective.

[@jwm4436]

Lovely episode! Thanks for sharing. Life is good~

[@erikivarson5514]

when i was up in north dakota and Alaska i could deal with cold water but now that i have been in south texas water that is less than 80 degrees f is cold

[@theflockfather4377]

Great video! Well done!

[@10lauset]

Cheers.

[@AndyKrisch]

Thanks!
