The Boardwalk Town - Ep. 124 RAN Sailing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- The small community of Elfin Cove is built on boardwalks and the big happening of the day is when a seaplane arrives. It's a neat town and we enjoy our time waiting for weather. Next stop is Hoonah, one of the biggest Native American communities in Alaska and we begin the day going through a pass with strong currents and fog.
We are a Swedish couple who wanted a different kind of life. So we moved aboard our sailboat RAN, a custom built Beason 40 in aluminium, untied the lines in the middle of the Swedish winter, January 2016, and started sailing south along the coast of Europe. There is no set route and we will go where the wind and our minds take us.

Your videos of the Alaskan scenery are magical. Thank you.
Always soulful, relaxed and calm. Working upside-down in in tight quarters "Got it done, No big deal"; Hiking hours up a step wet slope "What a beautiful view way up here"; Sailing through a big storm "That was challenging"; Enjoying a small village "What a beautiful life here ". The two of you bring the art of being human to life. Happy cruising and love the videos.
Thank you so much :)
The last scene was priceless for me. Malin was diligently unpacking the groceries..., while Johan was turning around, picking up the milk, and then placing it back down in the exact same place! Well played, Johan... well played!
Haha! :)
For some of us ,Hoonah holds a special place for those whom have traveled the great Salisbury Sea .
Decades ago, when young ,we , the ones whom traveled the inland waters to Alaska , Hoonah was a place of beautiful people , village world . With young people trying desperately to keep up with the new spirit world growing.
if i was a psychiatrist i would insist that my stressed-out patients watch your superb vlogs to truly appreciate the essence of good karma, best wishes to you both as always
I want to say thank you for sharing this. This episode was really so chill and beautiful. You two are really inspiring and a lovely couple.
I’m feeling emotional now reading some of the other comments. Really a fantastic energy from you two.
Thank you so much! :)
Another visually beautiful video, your ability to blend all the sound tracks into one make it a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for all the hard work you put into the video so that we can enjoy your journey
Thanks a lot Bob!
RAN sailing venturing where other sailors fear. Fantastic video.
I love how someone chopped and shaped steps into the tree that fell across the walking path - what an ingenious idea.
Nice to have a local friend with you. Lance is a sweet boy.
He was the cutest! :)
You guys are awesome! So happy you have continued sharing your videos with us for so long. Thank you.
Great kids getting along fending for themselves without helicopter parents! Wonderful. And that dog Lance, he's just like the one I used to have. They are so intelligent.
Beautiful ambient sounds of water, birds, etc!
Seeing those kids, I hope that some day there will be a little Yohan or little Marlen added to the mix. You two would make great parents to some little ones.
I love your videos. I look forward to Friday's because you never miss a week. Thank you for the time and effort you put into making these. We all live through you two.
Wonderful , you have become so accomplished!
And the dean of sailing channels, Patrick Laine is on board! He’s a class act.
Reminded me of swimming in Puget Sound as a kid. Crazy.
Thanks for being real sailors.
The videos just keep getting better and better.
A fantastic video again, the best one from you so far for me, as I ‘catch up’.
Nearly every frame could be used as a picture to hang on a wall at home. Wonderful, thank you both for your good eyes.
Johan, you always demonstrate good seamanship. Others have a lot to learn.
Top notch vloging and camera work. Beautifull.
Absolutely exquisite location and vlog. Must remind you of home somewhat with all the fir trees and quietness, at least some smaller places in Sweden. Sure reminds me of Maine and
Canada summer sailing ... including the fog. Bravo, Johan and Malin !!
😊👍👌👊⛵️⚓️🍷🐋🐳✨
Thanks Richard!
I'm convinced that this is what heaven looks like
I liked the water level shot facing the bow! Made good use of the calm water.
For some reason, I get very happy seeing you in some of the best parts of the US. We don’t always behave well, but we do have an abundance of beauty.
Why some Americans has this guilty feeling? Are you from Germany, Japan, Span …? For me America has been and still it is one of the greatest countries. (Nobody is getting away from, quite the contrary…)
We have a fascist president who puts children in jail and is in a treasonous relationship with Russia. Only a handful of Republicans stand up to him. We sometimes act shamefully.
@@dianeswift, beware, don’t be brainwashed by media and celebrities (Whoopie, Sharpton, Cher, and the likes) and by tv midnight negligent hosts, for your education. We used to have a socialist President that allowed illegal immigration to increase the Democrats vote base by offering free health care, food stamps, education, etc., to unrestricted illegal immigrants, all paid by Americans workers. (BTW: my ethnicity is Hispanic (not LATIN!) . But, even though didn’t agree with Obama policies, my democratic values impede me to thrash or hate him with unsubstantiated partiality. President Trump policies are for America not for a personal public relation image throughout the world.
Very nice episode.
That dog Lance, would have been a great companion.
What a beautyfull Nature and Wildlife you get to see. Thanks for sharing😍 😀🐬🐋🐳
Love the piano songs you've been using lately. Very nice music. Love your videos. Thank you.
Thank you for another find video. You are best .👫⛵⚓🌲🌲🐬
Jaysus! Too cold to be swimming without neoprene suits! Looks beautiful up there though.
seeing those kids jumping into the water made me wearing a sweater :D anyway thank you for the video, I always knew Alaska was nice place but I couldn't imaging how beautiful it is until I saw your videos.
Awesome. You are amazing in what you experience and your storytelling 👍👍👍

Your most beautiful video thus far! Elfin Cove! Thanks for showing us parts of the US we don't know! Tack så mycket! I hope to see you in Seattle.
Cinematic, charming and serene😉.👍😀⛵️
Thanks Norman! :-)
Beautiful motoring. Would be a tough place to sail before motors. Thanks for taking me there.
Yep, ...fools, electric motors....
You folks ARE, simply the best. Fantastic videos every time without fail....I just love the remoteness of the places you find during your travels. Places most humans would not even venture into! All those places certainly beat the huge urban sprawl of civilisation, simplicity is best!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much! :)
Oh god I need to go to Elfincove
beautiful images there.. very good vlog too
We love the fact that you are thier and doing a great job with the camera and sharing
great relaxing video, nice area. thanks for sharing have a save trip.
Very calm small community, beautiful place and relaxing.
You two are all over it! Great stuff. Thanks for continuing to share your adventure in such a positive way.
Awesome I've watched every video you have made
So you had a special guide showing you the sights. Well done Lance.🏴⛵️
That was a beautiful journey, thanks for taking me along 👍
I held off watching this episode to ensure enjoyment in full. Not disappointed I did wait. 🙂
Thank you for another amazing video!
Real cool to see the camera on the prop at 6:30!
It looks beatuful! Thanks for sharing.
Malin: The Norse Goddess of Goodness. I hereby nominate you two to represent mankind to the other beings in the
universe so that they would know us as peaceful, loving and kind people.
Right then....Alaska is now on the bucket list. Great video. Thanks guys
TNX for a soothing video. I know you two work hard to keep the audio in English but please know that at least some of us enjoy hearing the native tongue some, even if we don't understand. Great work.
Congrats on another great video!.
Incredible scenery, majestic places few sailors go. Thanks for sharing your adventure. It’s an interesting contrast to the Caribbean featured in so many other channels.
When I see today's west coast vid i'm thinking... The Beachcombers .....sorry just a ole Canadian show...
Love your Ikea bag😂 great for going to the beach, shopping or doing your laundry. ‘Course I have some as well 😜
I thought this would be another outstanding episode.....and as usual, I was correct! I learn something new with each enjoyable video. Thank you both!!
Absolutely beautiful, well done video guy´s, thank you.
Fantastic footage! I am really impressed of your abilities creating lovely videos. Thank you for sharing!
This is a very cool video .....perfect landscape ..... Nice to have a small radar at that fogged morning.
The unfortunate part of radar is that they use loads of power..
I liked your explanation Johan that the depth finder might be bouncing off the thermocline. That sounded good to me until I saw all of those whales --- when another thought came to mind. :-)
Patrick Laine love it when a brilliant sailor (with his own channel) comments on another brilliant channel. ,,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,,fair winds Patrick.
@@jimjenkins673 thank you for mentioning his channel....there are so many sailing channels now, it is hard to keep up....just look at his subscriptions.....I was only aware of about four out of ten!
dhamma58 happy to help Patrick s a class act.
From a man of depth! Yo Patrick
or fish?
NO way i'm getting in that water. Great video. Great place.
Great video, thumps up!
Some neat boardwalk villages up there in Alaska... Pelican by far the most beautiful that has a nice saloon and Port Alexander was neat as well with a 8 foot basketball hoop at the school for some serious slam dunk games.
We are loving your Alaskan adventure. Such a pleasure to see this amazing land from your perspective. You two are making us want to travel there too. Alaskan visitors bureau should use your videos, very relaxing and educational.
I love the sound of your engine, it's very soothing.
That place and those people are realy something.
Great video as always x
Thanks for this another really beaut video of this lovely part of the world😊
This I feel was one of your better episodes. Great job guys, thanks!!!
Magical ❤👌⛵ thank you.
How cool is that little town! Only accessible by sea or air I'm guessing? Lance the welcome wagon, very nice.
That's right! Thanks for watching!
The totally amazing scenery, guys! Elfin Cove is a real fairyland. And - yeah! - those boys swimming in +8 water are really brave :) Thank you so much for your stunning videos, for unforgettable feelings they give us! Nice weather and fair winds to you, wherever you are now!
Major shrinkage! ( For all you Seinfeld fans ). Smooth sailing RAN - as people have said in many. many posts your videos are superb, Rgds
Hey Malin & Johan! Long time now since we met in Panama! We finally started our Eurasian Vanlife journey!! Take care :) Evelina & Frederic
Awesome guys, we'll check it out!
Beautiful video. Thank you.
Your videos and adventures make us homesick. We know all these places so well and love to see them once again. Hope to meet up with you in Mexico where we will be next month for a year at least.
one of your best
Awesome.
Vilka härliga vyer. Snyggt filmat och trevligt redigerat. Bra jobbat !!!
I just found your channel a few days ago, and have been catching up. Extraordinarily well done. Very informative, and entertaining. Do you have a way for me to contribute besides Patreon? Perhaps a tip jar? Thanks again for what you do, Johan and Malin.
Thank you so much! It's possible to make a donation through Paypal here: ransailing.se/jointhecrew/ Thank you!
wow, what a magical place!
Awesome pretty epic vid guys. Peace and be safe out there.
Looks cold! Love the whales!
Stunning.
That is a very pretty place thanks
Awesome video guys, such beautiful country. Love watching your adventure! X
Rub Dish soap on the widows and they will stay clear of fog. Rub a little on and just wipe off!
Thanks for the great tip Michael! We'll try it today. Cheers!
I used to drive a Bus and inside it would fog bad when raining and passengers! The soap worked!@@RANSailing
@@deibertmichael . Hand soap works also.
I’ve heard that pouring hot water into a bottle with lemon pips in it clears the bottle. The same water may well clear the clear plastic windows of your sprayhood.
beautiful little community....lots of signs in that little laundromat. that was funny actually.
someone had a sense of humor with that wheelchair ramp.
does this type of country compare at all with any of sweden's coastline?
oh man....that hot steamy whale breaths were so cool.
ahhhh....to be young again. those kids were having fun.
nice production.....very much enjoyed.
thanks.
On one of our cruises we did in Alaska, kids were being pulled behind a powerboat on pull floats. We thought they were crazy too. But I guess when you live there, you have your fun when you can get it.
I hope you got to try salmon jerky. It's pretty good!
Snyggt Johan & Malin 👍🛥
Wow, great stuff guys thanks for sharing ...
