Ran is anchored in False Creek, Vancouver in Canada and one morning we wake up to something crashing in to us. Beside from pushing away boats in the anchorage we explore the city by bike, walk in Granville Market and visit Mustang Survival that make PFD's and foul weather gear.

Walking in Petersburg, Alaska, felt a bit like being home in Sweden. There’s so much Nordic influence! Scandinavian boat names, Nordic flags and a viking ship! We plan well before setting off again because we are going through Wrangell Narrows, a narrow channel where two currents meet and we’re goin...
How rewarding it is to find food in the nature! In Red Bluff Bay, Alaska, a perfect storm proof anchorage we forage blue mussels, spot bald eagles and waterfalls. When the wind has calmed down we continue east towards Petersburg and pass by a breaching humpback whale and then a pod of humpbacks bubb...
Costa Rica has so much to offer! Nice people, pretty beaches and beautiful and diverse nature and wildlife. We have to prepare a lot of things for the long sail to Hawaii but we squeeze in a break and go inland to one of Costa Ricas rainforests. We see wild animals and volcanoes, bath in hot rivers ...
Life is not always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes the cruising life throw you some struggles. In this episode we have a bee attack on the boat and later on have to set out to sea again due to not being able to check in to Costa Rica. Pura Vida as they say in Costa Rica :)

Our last stop in the Pearl Islands in Panama is the private island San José. We were the only boat but pelicans and cows kept us company. Next passage was the sail to the border of Panama, Puerto Armuelles, and this one goes around two capes that are infamous for strong winds and riptide.
We are a...
The Panama Canal transit is getting closer and because of the issue with the injector, Johan does a full check on the engine. We go to the private island Isla Linton where we find monkeys and then it’s party time!
We are a Swedish couple who wanted a different kind of life. So we moved aboard our s...
Guna Yala in Panama is a complete different world and we're so happy to be able to experience it with RAN. After doing the whole clearance procedure in Puerto Obaldía we head to our first anchorage next to a Guna village in the remote Darien Gap. The people are shy yet curious and very friendly...
Outside Colombia are two archipelagos called Islas Rosario and Islas San Bernardo. We go diving, look at frigate birds and check out the most crowded island in the world!
We are a Swedish couple who wanted a different kind of life. So we moved aboard our sailboat RAN, a custom built aluminium Beas...
It's time to move on and sail to new destinations but before leaving Curaçao we attend a cruising flea market and sell some treasures from the bilge. Shabby goes in retirement on the island as we pick up our new dinghy and we’re happy as kids on Christmas :)
We are a Swedish couple who wanted ...
Curacao is an island with a lot of culture and in this episode we explore some parts of it and get to experience the real island vibe. We start and finish the last boat project on RAN for this time and then we go sailing to Klein Curacao.
Additional drone footage by our Curaçao friend Alsino:

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 also got to do some boat maintenance on o...
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 then the squalls showed up on the horizon ...
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 and found the amazing cliffs in Carbeirinho.

Let's be friends on Facebook! We'd be so happy if you give our page a like :)
For the first time we travel on another boat! We make a roadtrip to explore the greenylicious island Santo Antao, said to be the greenest of all the islands in Cape Verde. So beautiful and a must see if visit...
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 and the island São Vicente. Oh, and don...
Sailing is often about changing plans and take the day as it comes. So our plans on sailing to Cape Verde had to wait a couple of days and instead we sailed to a new island! El Hierro is the smallest of all the main islands in the Canaries. We made a stop on the south coast in La Restinga and got am...
