Johan's cool sister and her boyfriend join us aboard RAN and together we sail to the uninhabited island, Ile Forchue and then St. Barths and Saba. Saba is such a cool island! It's literally a huge volcanic cone sticking up from the ocean and the island has...
Our sailing north in the Caribbean has now taken us to SXM, Saint Martin/Sint Maarten. This is the island with two countries in a very small area and it's also the island with a VERY cool airport! We met so many nice people during our time in SXM and we al...
Do you love airplanes or are you afraid of flying? Then you'll either love or hate St. Barth's airport. We arrive in the former Swedish island during the sailing competition the Bucket Regatta where the iconic J-class participate. And of course some of coo...
Imagine walking on pure white sand beaches that continue for miles, swimming in crystal clear turquoise water and being almost the only boat in the anchorage. That's Barbuda in a nutshell! We had such a great time on the island and the islands best guide, ...
RAN and we sail to Antigua and lay anchor in Freeman Bay, English Harbour. This is the place to go to if you want to see a lot of superyachts! We couldn't help ourselves to daydream about which boat we would like to have. So many beautiful yachts! But Engl...
Do you know how it feels when there's 1,5 m high waves coming straight in to your anchorage? We got to experience it for a day and night and it was pretty uncomfortable! In this EXTRA long episode we explore Guadeloupe together with Johan's parents and mak...
"These shoes are made for walking"... Well maybe not with flip flops when you're hiking in the forest ;) Join us as we explore Terre De Haut in Les Saintes by walking up and down the hills. It's such a beautiful island and so colorful. Then we sail to Guad...
This might be the funniest and scariest footage we have so far! Shabby (our dinghy) has his own mind and seems like he can be a bit evil ;) Luckily everything went all right with both Johan and the outboard engine. In this episode we explore some more of D...
Dominica is a true rainforest paradise! We loved this place and after arriving to the capital Rosseau we got welcomed by the carnival. But enough dancing on the streets for us because we wanted to see more of this lush jungle island. The rainforest offered...
Martinique is such a beautiful island and offers plenty of anchorages. We enjoy the crystal clear water in Grand Anse d'Arlet and then sail up north to St. Pierre where it's a bit tricky to anchor. We find underwater statues and while snorkeling there's a ...
The town of St. Pierre in Martinique was once the capital of the island but 1902 a volcanic eruption killed everybody except one guy! We went hiking on the volcano Montagne Pelée and then visited the destroyed city. Beside from some land exploration we al...
Leaving Grenada in the southern Caribbean we did an overnight sail directly to St. Lucia since Malin's friend was coming to visit us in Martinique. We made a few stops in St. Lucia and then arrived to Le Marine in Martinique which felt a little bit like be...
After arriving to St. George's in Grenada we find out that our dinghy, Shabby, is leaking air. Then we sail to Carriacou but have turn back due to unexpected problems. We should have listened to the old salties and never left on a Friday ;)
We are a Swedi...
Christmas eve had arrived and that's the day we celebrate in Sweden. We had a nice time in Bequia, the Grenadines and found a pair of crutches for Malin so she didn't have to jump on one leg all the time. We met our Swiss friends who sails on a Trimaran an...
Warning for some bloody footage in this episode but it's not too bad. We left Grenada with Privateer, a Nautor Swan 60, to sail in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We had some really awesome sailing up to Union Island and we sailed over the underwater volca...
There's no time for rest on RAN! The day after arriving to the Caribbean it's already time to haul out in Grenada Marine. We spend the next days painting RAN, fixing stuff and getting rid of the horrible smell we've noticed for a couple of days. Then we ge...
Half way in to crossing the Atlantic the squalls continues and we don't get a lot of sleep. But the days pass fast anyway and when there's only a couple of days left the trade winds kicks in and we start to logg many miles per day. After 18 days we arrive ...
We set sail on November 23 and left Mindelo, Cape Verde to cross the Atlantic to Grenada, Caribbean. The forecast wasn't optimal and the very light winds were concerning. The first week gave us some sun and company by dolphins but very light winds. And the...
What's it like to sail across the Atlantic in a 62 ft boat or a 30 ft boat? We talk to the owners of both and have a look at their boats. One of the coolest things about sailing is that it doesn’t really matter what boat your sailing. You can still sail ...
The Atlantic crossing is getting closer but before heading back to Mindelo we visit a couple of more anchorages. We celebrate Halloween on the beach with sailing friends and then sail to the uninhabited island Santa Luzia. Back in Mindelo we prepare the la...
We had a great time on Ilha do São Nicolau, Cape Verde! A beautiful green island with very friendly people. We stayed at anchor in the fishing village Tarrafal and explored the island by foot and Aluguer. We also went on a spontaneous hike in flip flops a...

It feels so good to be in the tropical Cape Verde! We're in the city Mindelo, São Vicente, after sailing from the Canaries. Mindelo is a city full of colors, noise and friendly people. RAN needs a bit of work but we have plenty of time to explore the city...
We finally caught a fish! And you will probably laugh because it was sooo small :) But it was tasty! Join us on our preparation sail for the Atlantic crossing, a 750 Nm passage from El Hierro, Canary Islands to Mindelo, Sao Vicente, Cape Verde. Except from...
