We heard a growling sound and a bad smell in the distance. Guess what we found? A huge Sea Lion colony on a tiny rock island! We set sail east to cross the Gulf of Alaska and leave south central Alaska to arrive in South East Alaska and the Inside Passage....
Further north in Prince William Sound, Alaska, there are more glaciers. We go to Barry Arm glacier and find three glaciers next to each other and a majestic waterfall. The glaciers are beautiful with the different colors but it is very noticeable how the g...
What are the possibilities that two Swedish boats from the same hometown meet in an anchorage in Alaska?! Not very big so it was so cool to meet up with our friend Kaj :) We celebrate Johan’s birthday in Prince William Sound, drive a jet ski and get a to...
Chenega glacier is one of many glaciers in Prince William Sound, Alaska. We’re not sure how close we will get, it depends on the ice stage. But wow, what an incredible place!
We are a Swedish couple who wanted a different kind of life. So we moved aboa...
We head ut to sea again and continue east along the coast of south-central Alaska. Our next destination is Prince William Sound, a huge sound with hundreds of islands, lots of glaciers and wildlife.

After two nights in Kitoi Bay, Alaska, we set sail towards Seward. We have an absolutely perfect night sail along the Kenai fjords with sun almost the whole night. In Seward we watch sea otters playing in the harbor and meet one of our patrons.
We are a ...
We explore Kodiak city and some of the surroundings before setting sail north. Our next destination in Alaska is Afognak Island, one of the islands in the Kodiak archipelago. You can really say that the anchorage lived up to all the expectations we’ve ha...
A strong gale, light storm, is coming in our direction and we sail as fast as we can to get in front of it. We spend our last days at sea on passage from Hawaii to Kodiak, Alaska, getting chased!
We are a Swedish couple who wanted a different kind of life...
It’s getting colder and colder on our passage to Kodiak, Alaska and we now sail in fog almost every day. This is whats it's like to sail in the northern latitudes!
We are a Swedish couple who wanted a different kind of life. So we moved aboard our sailb...
We are a couple of days out on our sail from Hawaii to Kodiak, Alaska. The weather is still warm and sunny but it’s changing pretty fast. Join us at sea as we continue to sail across the latitudes to the north!

We find a good weather window and untie the lines in Honolulu Harbor and set off north towards Kodiak, Alaska. Sad to leave such a beautiful place but excited to go to a new place and a new climate! This passage might look longer on a map than our previous...
The summer is slowly starting in Alaska and we're getting ready to set sail from Hawaii as soon as the weather improves. While waiting we install a new heater which will be needed up north. We also visit John and Amanda from 48 North aboard their Hallberg ...
Our coming ocean passage to Alaska will be in more unstable weather than before so we decided to add a Jordan Series Drogue. A series drogue is a great passive system if you get into a gale or storm and are in the risk of a knock-down. We also install two ...
Johan's sister is visiting us on Oahu, Hawaii and she has planned a surprise for us! We have no idea what it is but she has told us that she's been lying awake at night from being so nervous. Exciting! :)

Being in Hawaii and all we figured it would be a good place to try out surfing for the first time. It was hard to say the least! We also explore the island Oahu and go hiking, visit the famous North Shore and Pearl Harbor.
We are a Swedish couple who wan...
Our new base for a while is Honolulu on Oahu, Hawaii. Here we will have friends and family visiting us and we'll also prepare the boat for Alaska and British Columbia. But before we can settled down in the marina we have to go through a boat inspection and...
Some days are worse than others, right? This day was one of those. Our sail from Hilo, Big Island to Honolulu, Oahu in Hawaii was quite eventful but not in a good way. Water in the engine, broken cleats and hatches, vents that are falling off, water in the...
The Big Island really is a BIG island! There's so much to see and we set out to find the best view. We also go to a black beach where green sea turtles are basking, look at stunning waterfalls and we finally have a working fridge again. Aloha!
We are a S...
Mother Earth is so present in this episode! We felt really small and humble against the powerful nature and as we upload this, the volcano Kilauea has had multiple earthquakes and eruptions for several weeks. It has destroyed hundreds of homes and thousand...
Fourth week at sea, sailing from Costa Rica to Hawaii and landfall is getting closer and closer. We enjoy life at sea, the weather is nice and we call home from the satellit phone. Then as if it would never happen we see land again :)
We are a Swedish cou...
It's our third week at sea, on passage from Costa Rica to Hawaii and the weather changes. For a couple of days it's really windy and there's not much else to do than to sit down below and drink coffee and tea.
We are a Swedish couple who wanted a differe...
During week two on our passage from Costa Rica to Hilo, Big Island, Hawaii, we experience our first setback. But the weather is nice and we do laundry offshore-sailing-style and get some cool shots from the air of RAN sailing the big blue.
We are a Swedis...
The BIG day is here. We set off for the longest sail we'll probably every do! We leave Costa Rica and sail out in the Pacific Ocean with the course set on Hilo, Big Island, Hawaii. 4100 Nm and 30 days out on the big blue!
We are a Swedish couple who wante...
The preparations for the 4100 Nm sail to Hawaii continues in Papagayo, Costa Rica, with boat maintenance, provisioning and other things. We make a trip to Tamarindo and then we find an uninvited guest onboard in the middle of the night.
