CAUGHT on a MASSIVE UNDERWATER CABLE

[@paul_gradenwitz]

Everybody in Greece called me Poseidon because I look a lot like that statue in Athens of him.. I don't eat chocolate and don't drink alcohol. Yet I would be delighted to give you next 7 years as safe as possible with all the adventures you are going for and that you share with all in such nice way!

[@scarletbegonias2359]

You added that bit in Post about putting a lifejacket on Willa, because she was at the front of the boat. When you were in the water and Ashley was at the bow, Willa was strolling around without a lifejacket. No judgement from me.

[@adlapl]

This what is great - is that you are more or less natural, you are justr yourself. Your movies are not over-edited :), and you are trully sailing! For the matter of anchor and cable issue - I always have some small scuba gear on a boat. It helps and is safer in such a situations. Snorkeling to do some work underwater (means using rapidly oxygen) may result in faint ... Anyway you are my favorite channel of all of this kind (life on a boat + kids + sailing). Neptune told that your cake was the best! :))))

I am always excited to see another episode of Nahoa. I wait for it and am always excited to watch them. I became a Patreon subscriber last month, too!

[@GUCR44]

The Equator! Again wow! So cool.. Thank you for taking me with you! Best to you all from Buffalo NY.. (Alden) big hugs peace and love Rolfie

[@tomluque]

do you trail out a 100ft floating trip-line with a loop on the end in case you fall overboard while the other one is inside and could not hear you?

[@peterbrown2336]

Great to see the traditions of the sea being followed and Neptune/Poseidon reward you with great sailing conditions in the rest of your voyage and for the next seven years and more! The "olde crossed line" capturing your anchor are a Mediterranean special I am very familiar with. We were told to put a line on a cleat, then take the line under the cable fouling the anchor, secure your line onboard on a second cleat, then let out some chain from the windlass so the line takes the strain, the anchor falls free so can then be brought back onboard with no problems, then release one end of the line and you are away. Never a great experience but just needs teamwork to address and hats off for achieving whilst having two little ones to wrangle too. Fair winds!

[@crlager]

The Skill Share promo was obviously done on Vancouver Island so you do make it home safely. Looking forward to your coming videos and hoping Nahoa isn't to badly broken.

[@codydody]

You guys and everything your doing is BEAUTIFUL! Since you've got back out on the water I feel like you've reverse aged about 10 or more years even while the little ones are gaining soo much knowledge intellectual & physical.

Kiddos are growing and both such cuties! So glad your under way and hoping the next stop at Seychelles will be more fun and adventurous like the old episodes even though I knkw your limited as to some things you can do due to having small kids BUT they will grow up fast so enjoy every minute ute while they are at this sweet age. PLEASE MAKE THE VIDEOS LONGER SINCE WE WAIT ALL WEEK! 🙏🏻 STAY SAFE AND GOD BLESS!

Getting the Rockna stuck on a Cable OMG i was panicking from the other side of the screen lol, I would not have known what to do and the solution was so elegant and a great lesson for the rest of us mere mortals, I only Coastal hop and every time I think were ready I see something like this and im like Nope not ready lol.

[@mikeandmar9046]

So inspired by your channel!! Thanks for filming your adventures and taking the time to edit and upload epic videos! We are working towards buying a sailboat just trying to figure out wether to sell the house or keep it and try to rent it. I know in one of your first episodes you talked about how you wished you had kept your home. Do you guys have any advice for someone like us looking to live this lifestyle now that you have done it for so many years? Thanks!! 🙌

Makeup is not recommended on boats, I've heard that the sea spray and salt air makes it pretty uncomfortable, luckily my wife didn't wear it anyway.

[@daveamies5031]

@@asyla3389 a Bali 4.2 would be pretty uncomfortable in open waters like this video, but it depends where you want to go? and also where you're starting from. Every boat is a compromise, cats that handle rough weather better can't handle weight well so are very spartan, cats that are luxurious can be slow and uncomfortable at sea. Seawind's are a good compromise between luxury, performance, and comfort at sea, but they also have multi-year waiting lists for new ones, but a used Seawind would be an excellent choice for a first cat, I wouldn't recommend a new boat as your first boat, try for a few years with a cheaper boat and see if you like it first.

[@markwilson8632]

G’day guys, I love your channel 👍. A quick question, in stead of trying to pull the anchor from the cable,why didn’t you stand on the anchor and pull the cable off that way? Just a thought for next time if it happens again. Cheers, Mark.

Any update on the Boat CRACKs? Any plan to address it yet?

[@SailingNahoa]

Will update in a few videos time. Can say the boat is pretty broken :(

[@alexanderross2786]

@@SailingNahoa OK! Ya It looks very scary & Very expensive to fix. My 1st shoot-from-the-hip reaction:: Get a Titanium Fame Engineered, welded up & very very carefully installed. It would be the new structional Back Bone for the boat. Once fixed sail for 1 year, then sell Nahoa & get a BIGGER Blue water boat! That's Much easier said than done & would be super expensive & require a Navel Architect start! Likely a 9 months of work at least!

I know you know that it's not Neptune of the seas that kept you but I venture to say that it's the creator of the seas that has kept you. That's definitely something to be thankful for and mindful about. I admire your boldness and tenacity to do such a crossing with your little ones. Knowing that would cause me do develop a prayer life where only the master of the waters could do anything for you. You are precious people who respect and admire other people's beliefs and hopefully it's not without knowing yours.

Ashley you should get a couple of those toddler tank swimsuits with the life jacket built in, they look like they would be cooler and more comfortable for the babies, therefore a better chance they will be wearing it and you won’t feel bad that they are hot and sweaty etc.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

It happened to Jupiters travels in NY Harbour on the Hudson river.....he had to cut it loose...the water was full of muck and there was a current running. It needs a loop or hole in the back edge of the spade so you could hook on a heavy rope and tip and lift the anchor ... luckily Ben could see what was what and the cable lifted off the seabed.

G'day Ben & Ash, as a Marine Engineer & Architect, I'm listening to the interior of your boat in the video, while you're on passage to the Seychelles, and the cracking & delamination is giving me a bloody tummy ache mate. It's obvious that your Lagoon is breaking apart as she sails ~ both the two main structual bulkheads (engine-aft; mast-forward). Plus, you can hear the stringers and non-structural floor bulkheads also cracking. Sorry for the shit news mate. However, I just want you to be safe and realise, how much the boat is structurally compromised and the significance of the damage ~ all originating from a poorly designed multihull, and inferior products that were used in the construction of your Lagoon. I wish you were in Australia ~ I'd haul you out, put Nahoa on the hard, support the center section of the cat, and do a proper survey! I wish you a safe passage and hopefully, you can address the damage to Nahoa, ASAP!!! Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺.

[@imscanon]

I heard it too. They need to watch Parlay Revival and all he went through with his Lagoon having to redo all the bulkheads. I do worry they are in danger crossing oceans in it right now.

[@OnTheFlipSide]

They know, they have mentioned in the last few blogs. Knowing Lagoon and Lagoon Catamaran having MAJOR issues, they have a ZRO reply. Crickets....

[@rockinrican85]

Agree, it was mentioned and they showed the damage, which to me (not an expert) I wouldn’t sail with my babies like that.

[@puppyupper4565]

@P A South Africa has some awesome boat builders. But that is some rough sailing that might destroy the boat. I think they need to go north and get it fixed in Israel, Saudi Arabia or Egypt. If I was them I would have fixed it in Thailand.

@P A I would contact Colin on Parlay Revival and he'd be able to answer that. He's in Panama currently I believe.
