Wild Encounters In British Columbia - Ep. 130 RAN Sailing

[@majesticmark6054]

I know everyone loves the tropical islands etc. but I think this may be one of the most beautiful places you have been.

[@montymontano8618]

While not ignoring the labors of sailing you manage to convey the serenity of it as well as the beauty around you. Always a treat.

[@SVZonda]

Dear Marlin and Johan, about 2 weeks ago I found your channel and now I have reached this episode #130. It’s really great to see the sailing world through your eyes, You have certainly opened mine to many different places especially Alaska. I will add it to my list! I look forward to catching up to RAN II and Vera!! All the best Richard 👍🇬🇧

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for the kind words Richard! 😊

[@nessuno1948]

Your comments on the reality of life are always on the point. People up high sould sometimes look down, at the life and struggle of salmons, as a metaphore of human life on this unique planet. From Italy.

[@dk2428]

RAN Sailing...one of those channels where you hit the like button before you've watched the video. BC looks like the place i could spend the rest of my life.

[@gorway7]

How spectacular, loved the seal too - I've always thought of them as 'Sea Dogs' since I was little, as their faces look so cute.

[@ianhamilton396]

Welcome to Canada and your introduction to the Earth Shattering, Blood Sucking, Legendary, Egg-Laying, Famous Carnivore Killers...... The Canadian Black Fly. And don't be fooled by the cuteness of the harbour seal, they are nasty little creatures.

[@RANSailing]

Haha!

[@Timopo]

We are also glad you chose to take the trip north to AK & BC as you stated Johan. It has been a special experience for us seeing it thru your eyes because we feel the appreciation you both have for this beautiful part of our planet. You don't have to be a sailing fanatic to love the videos you've shared with us. Big thanks and enjoy your time in Sweden over the holidays!!!

[@andycarr4847]

Stunning scenery, thanks for showing me places I am not able to get to see myself, 👍

[@sailingvenus7520]

Thank you guys for giving us all so much pleasure with your great videos. A small suggestion: please do a video on your boat Ran. You never say who designed her, what brand she is, specifications, etc. The boat is just as important to us, as you are...

[@suziq5293]

I bet that bear was keeping on eye on you! Love your videos!

[@jensen7194]

The Best Scenery and Cruising in August of anywhere in the World in August!!!....(40 yrs of experiences)......Thanks for the "Memories"!!!!

[@mobiltec]

Great stuff. Canada is still a true wilderness. I imagine that bear was watching you guys the whole time.

[@jonathanmeek9490]

NO other KZbinr is doing what you do. What a beautiful part of the world. Congratulations!

[@RANSailing]

Thank you Jonathan! :-)

[@raynic1173]

And many of us are glad you decided to sail north also, thanks for sharing!

[@markconyers11]

You two have given yourselves such a wonderful life, thank you for sharing it with us.

[@TERRIBLYBRITISH]

Your films have been consistently brilliant from the beginning you have never wavered from your balanced format and they are a pleasure to watch. Thanks for making a year of great Friday viewing...coupled with that of Sea Dog of course!

[@guymanges3628]

Yes

[@SuperLaplander]

That was a very scenic episode. Thanks Malin&Johan for sharing this with us!

[@brettney72]

I Love to put your vids on my TV have a cup of tea sit back and see the world through you guys another great vid guys

[@mudpuddle8805]

Another great video! You guys are the best on the internet.

[@LoriG75]

The cobalt blue of the water is amazing!

[@birddogmason9862]

Absolutely beautiful. The up-slope fog really made the transition of water to mountain something spectacular. I wish you had left the camera on the beach to capture the bears feeding, of course the battery would have exhausted itself. Thanks for the adventure, want to add it to the bucket list.

[@moz1953]

beautiful people making another beautiful film, thank you

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching! :-)

[@SailingSeaDreamofClyde]

What an incredible experience you two had with that harbour seal! Such unusual behavior! I have seen footage of them jumping onto boats to evade orcas as you noted, but that one sure looked like it was just relaxing! Maybe some orcas were hiding around the corner??? Great video all around.

[@BobLinton]

Good adventure! Thanks! The seal really wanted to join you!

[@Maoli2013]

Simply the absolute best Sailing Vlog on KZbin. Thanks so much for sharing. My Fridays are RAN Fridays!

[@RANSailing]

Thanks! That's some really kind words. :-)

[@chuckspillner5290]

We love cruising BC. Really nice videos.

[@tomwilliams8675]

Awesome drone videos. Such beautiful country. You guys are the best, love your channel. Take care and safe travels.

[@MarinaBatham]

I really enjoyed tis episode as you were "singing with the bears". Lol!

[@gacastro]

That seal was awesome! So cute!

[@santosbay]

thanks for sharing again this nice and relaxed video, very nice area. have a save trip.

[@Scruffers2011]

Such a wonderful, intelligent, philosophical, insightful, lovely, informative, breathtaking experience. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching Michael!

[@lenardfavell810]

Welcome to my beautiful home province. Enjoy 😊

[@Catalina58601]

I am very glad you made the decision to sail to Alaska. It has been my favorite episodes. So serene and beautiful. TY!

[@52rajesh]

I can't believe i have been following every episode of you two since your departure from sweden OMG! its almost >2 years wow . Keep on sailing and I will follow you wherever you go.God bless you both ,Keep on Happy and safe sailing.

[@normanboyes4983]

Thank you for making beautiful films and sharing them here.👍😀⛵️

[@BrassLock]

Your *_Anti-fog Spell_* turned out to be very effective. I felt sorry for the Salmon's tough life, but you drone-filmed it so well with the commentary I was riveted to the scene. In the end, the Black Bear wasn't greedy, just took what was needed from his "supermarket".

[@gvjones74]

Great viewing, top quality production.

[@rcrogers6]

To avoid rolling when motorsailing and there is little to no wind, I have found that sheeting the main hard over with the traveller to one side simulates sailing close-hauled. The boat speed provides the wind. The result is a steadying sail which adds approximately 1 knot to your speed and little to no rolling. Try it.

[@joshuatoledo8844]

What an amazing journey, thank you for sharing. Your videos bring peace and connection with nature. With all your respect, listening to your voices and looking at your demeanor, it feels something spiritual, pure and peaceful. Thank you guys for sharing. Buen Camino.

[@jaybaylb]

Another triple thumbs up 👍👍👍

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching Jay!

[@M-Swede]

After an intense week at work, finally, RAN relaxation time! Thanks.

[@jacque7736]

" The wild life is so incredible here, happy to be here..."... they say totally panic between two clouds of carnivorous black flies jumping on them and grabbing a chunk of their skin. No doubt, we are facing real diplomats... :-) Seriously, thank you for that excellent footage, drone are taking all their sens when it's used in a intelligent way like you do.i'm discovering a part of my own country that i know so little...for now i hope. A wish you a warm welcome to Canada and the best for your actual and following adventures.

[@garye4145]

It's a Canadian seal just coming up to say hello and welcome to Canada. Safe journeys RAN.

[@steamerAE]

Another high class video, I like it, thumps up.

[@grantmyers7593]

Your boat just got a "Seal" of approval. LOL

[@lawrenceg1821]

Great to see my home province from your eyes!

[@czeslawpi]

Welcome to Canada!

[@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS]

Thank you Malin & Johan for another look at the north-west Pacific scenery... As always: BIG THUMBS UP and shared on diverse social media! Love the pace of your videos!

[@billb.6109]

Once again, spectacular videography. Thank you.

[@matt6740]

Love the channel and am loving watching you explore my homeland! A very late welcome to Canada!

[@brianmardon7123]

!!Fantastic!! Thank You Both.

[@MsStrong30]

Hi Guys, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks so much for taking the time to make them and post them! Rick

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching Rick! Cheers!

[@sonnylange3051]

Another amazing video! Thank you for sharing with us all.

[@amarieshearer7613]

Loved the seal, so exciting. so glad you are sharing your journey with us. It was so nice to see the salmon jumping. Gods creation is so beautiful!

[@dillonjohnston4012]

We are happy you sailed north to our area too. It was great meeting you in Vancouver when you passed through.

[@TheBluewheels]

Alaska & BC Videos are WOW!!!!

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching!

[@peterbrinch]

Stort tak til jer begge to for stor inspiration. Vi er præcis kommet hjem efter 14 måneder på vores lille sejlbåd. Johans tilgang til alting og idéen om at keep it simple har inspireret os hele vejen. Desuden var det lidt ekstra sjovt at komme til mange af havnene på Europas atlanterhavskyst, når vi havde set jeres film derfra. Ha' nu en herlig jul hjemme i Sverige, vi glæder os til at følge jer videre ud i verden!

[@RANSailing]

Tack Peter! Hoppas ni också får en härlig jul och ett gott nytt år!

[@JohnnyJohnson2136]

RAN is a beautiful sailing vessel, love your channel!

[@paulinebutler5186]

Another beautiful video. Thank you.

[@edrosenberger6947]

I too am glad that you sailed to Alaska and BC 'cause I've seen beautiful places that I may never get to see again.....thank you Malin and Johan for the awesome experience!!

[@gonewplaces2685]

Reminds me of backpacking and rafting through the gates of theArctic on the North fork koyokuk River. We had a grizzly walking between our tents before sunset. Terrifying and fascinating all rolled into one. I'm remembering getting worried that all of the mosquitoes stinging me through my megabuck Goretex gear world poke enough holes to ruin the waterproof membrane. You guys are way smarter exploring the Northland by boat. I'm glad to see that yodelling works as well as endlessly saying "Hey bear !" 👍

[@Jerry_SWMO]

Really enjoy your videos. So relaxing. Would enjoy seeing some of the technical aspects of your sailing. Thanks.

[@hb0292]

More beautiful views 👍

[@marcusornroth6388]

It’s always a pleasure to watch your beautiful videos. I’m already looking forward to the next one. Thank you so much!

[@RANSailing]

Thank you Marcus! :-)

[@robjohnson2649]

Great video, love the fog dance.😂 Fair winds and following seas.

[@RANSailing]

Fair winds to you too Rob! And thanks for watching!

[@nomadequipment2177]

RAN sailing in my backyard! Very cool 🙂👍🏻 Looking forward to my own cruise up there starting in June 😀 Love the vids

[@mrwattsclass107]

I'm happy that you guys enjoyed my home province.

[@waynedoeblin6801]

Beautiful places you are visiting,and a bonus bear sighting,off the beach just in time😊

[@gunsmoke6230]

Please get to your dingy faster next time we almost had a heart attack lol 😆. Thank you for bringing your beautiful experience to an older couple in Houston, TX. Y’all be safe and we look forward to You’re next adventure ! Liz & Matt

[@MrLousim]

Welcome to Canada and have a safe trip

[@pinebearclub]

Thanks so much for this. You are absolutely right when you say that we have lost touch with nature. It’s actually called Nature Deficit Disorder, and it’s getting worse as more screens are made. Part of my hope and dream is to take families out into nature and do away with the screen while sailing. Thank you for another awesome video. Bryan from Vancouver

[@stevemoberg9356]

Beautiful! My wife and I have been following you for sone time now. And your in our area now . . . Washington State! Have loved watching all of the Alaska travels. My wife wants to go.

[@seadog2396]

Hi, Guys, Another masterpiece of production, Great video. You both look well-rested and healthy. Malin looks especially beautiful - her skin looks like cream, as we say in the States. Thanks for another excellent production.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching!

[@kennyshepherd8311]

Beautiful scenery! Thank you for sharing!

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Kenny!

[@MarkBottorff]

Having grown up in Alaska and the Northwest (Bellingham, Seattle, Tacoma) ... and starting my sailing adventures in Los Angeles ... your stories are SO visually inviting and incredible. Every episode makes me want to sail to Hawaii, then north to Alaska, then make my way south. Thank you so much for sharing all that you have. Following on Instagram, I know what's coming and I can't wait. I hope when you make it to Southern California we can host you half as well as those in the north. xoxo

[@frankd2301]

You guys are the best 👍

[@pullypoolman]

What a pleasure to see your journey. Me im just a cruiser on a Narrowboat on the British canals my boat is 60 foot long bit of a handfull at 72 yrs but i enjoy it so much please keep going look forward to your next video regards (KZbin The Old Git on the Cut) David x

[@JustMe-pp1mp]

AAWWwwwww. It's Friday and RAN is running on my computer. What a great way to start the weekend. Thanks Malin and Johan, I hope Canada treated you well - enjoy your travels. :-)

[@madal55]

Seems like Alaska and BC are very much like the Scandinavian coastline. No wonder you like it and enjoy it so much. Thanks for uploading.

[@dougvarvil6435]

Your videos are really getting good. Soon you will surpass 70K subscribers. Thanks for sharing.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks a lot Doug! :-)

[@christineminer2117]

Beautiful pictures! Thank you!

[@pkane5472]

Beautiful as always!

[@JesusHernandez-xp2bh]

[@RANSailing]

[@seanhaugen2437]

Some incredible footage! BC has some incredible scenery and beautiful wildlife!

[@RANSailing]

It sure has! We love BC! :-)

[@marcoantoniofederico7891]

Thanks for share your movies.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Marco!

[@johnkabel285]

I am guessing that our west coast is much like the coasts in Scandinavia. Are you considering following the salmon to Hokkaido in Japan? You are doing such a great job of catching the best of the views. Thank You!

[@wayneschmidt9620]

Thank you

[@mhensen1]

You make BC look beautiful, nice drone work on the salmon

[@HopeOfJoe]

Just fabulous scenery and editing !! Reminds me of the Maine Coast, especially the northern part and the Canadian Maritimes.

[@markoliver474]

Just stumbled along your vlog... Pretty well put together. Thank you for your time and effort. Safe sailing and fair seas.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Mark!

[@mattk3083]

One of your best! Thanks for sharing!

[@guyfrawley9662]

Well done! Thank you for sharing, really appreciated.

[@bobswezey7452]

[@RANSailing]

And thanks for watching Bob!

[@Chris_in_fremantle]

Magnificent footage

[@wanderlust101]

Another great episode... thanks! I fine it interesting how you guys go back and forth between English and Swedish.

[@peterculverwell2030]

Great video as always with excellent drone footage, quite spectacular. Hope you are currently enjoying family time in Sweden. 👌👌

[@pwijland]

Did I just seen Wyland paintings in the video 😊

[@mickmccrohon]

Incredible footage guys. Thanks for sharing.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Mick!

[@alphonsenguyen7174]

Hello Malin & Johan, I’ve started watching your episode 129 about a week and half ago. Love your video format, wonder who is doing the editing? My guess would be Malin. You both have amazing narrative voices. I decided to follow your story from beginning until this minute and I am caught up. Thank you for letting me see Alaska through your eyes and tag along in your journey. I never knew Alaska is so beautiful and majestic with its nature. You both are wonderful couple. I am inspired to one day sail around the world like you after I retired, even though I know nothing about sailing. The thought of being out at sea and the freedom, really attracted me. Until then I will be looking forward to watch your continued adventure. I am from Toronto, Canada.

[@RANSailing]

Hello Alphonse! Thanks a lot for those kind words! :-) Good luck with your future plans. You will never regret setting sail! Cheers!

[@whiskeytuesday]

Well I know you're already gone in real time but Bienvenue au Canada none the less. I found your channel and absolutely binged all of your videos in about two days a couple of weeks ago, just after your meetup here unfortunately. Well, hopefully I'll see you out there somewhere. Fair winds and blue skies!
