Family Sails Around the World

[@ThePlaylists001]

The kids laughing in the tub made this video 10x better. Love it! Congratulations!

[@susangoodell6168]

Congratulations Nahoa crew!! Your lives are far from boring. Mad respect for your family. ❤😊

[@guyprimo6414]

Wow I'm so impressed I'm a marine Engineer, Technician also Boat Captain , for over 48 years, you guys have been places an seen things that 99% of the planet will never get to do, see or even dream of. Thank you so much for your videos ❤

[@justinodelvalle6142]

You are the nicest guys in the world! So glad to have the chance of viewing your videos. 🫶 🇵🇷

[@owlspiritreiki]

I second that! They are the most wholesome sailing channel on KZbin and I love that! 😊

[@tiborhribar9306]

I am deeply honored to watch this video and would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to you. Well done good people :)

[@grumpygreatgrandad]

Sailing the world and showing us land lubbers is not crap at all. We enjoy every minute of your videos and keep them going

[@CameronPrice-sail]

I am quite new to your channel, in fact it was the new Cat design you’re working on that led me to you. I am looking at buying a new Cat for cruising with my wife and small son, and your videos are invaluable in learning about the realities of life afloat as a family. Congratulations and well done on your achievements to date: you should bear VERY proud of yourselves! I also look forward to following the progress of the new Nahoa…..thank you for what you do…😊

[@bamby5211]

It's not crap! What y'all do is an inspiration to those that can't. Your all around the world ventures take people places that they will never see otherwise. I appreciate y'all taking the time to share with us to include the trials and errors while sailing and raising up two lil ones. Have a blessed day. :0)

[@Paulmotea]

Wat Beautiful people

[@thill6771]

Congratulations! My wife and I took two multi-year Pacific voyages, from the US East Coast and back to the US W Coast, in the 1970's and 80's. (Our son was a boy then, and is now 55.) Nothing to compare with your trip, but here's an interesting thought: When you are EIGHTY, as we are now, you likely will look back and see what you have done as a "formative", life changing experience! AND, your videos are GREAT, not "crappy"!!!

[@jacobfont8084]

Hard to believe I spent eight years with you guys with out ever actually meeting you. Thank you for the escape from my world threw out some lonely nights, break ups, set backs an tribulations of my own and bringing my mind peace and joy. Your journey, trials and discoveries made your life more life then many will ever know who just work an sleep and fade into the past without living a life at all truly. Hopefully someday I can do something as fulfilling in my life time. Thank you for being good souls and good people to look up to an follow. Till then be save and keep up being your authentic selfs! To many more adventures ahead! Congratulations!

[@Langy3366]

Without doubt my favourite channel. It’s not just sailing, it’s about the trials and tribulations of a wonderful young family, challenging normality.

[@stephc9360]

I have absolutely loved following you both over the past few years. My parents purchased a boat, sailed across the Atlantic, spent the past few years in the Caribbean, and this winter will go through the Panama canal to explore the Pacfic. Watching your channel allows me to have an eye in on their life. Living vicariously through them and you! Thank you this Thanksgiving for sharing your life, knowledge and experiences. Congratulations on everything! Cheers to you and your family! ❤️

[@amysimpson646]

Thank you for the wonderful gift of taking us with you. Wow. What a accomplishment for anyone, but to do it with the babies. Wow. I even shed some tears. Congratulations Nahoa!!!!!

[@thomasbrasse3145]

Watched this on the plane last week. Wanted to drop a congrats. Not patreon, but been following for a long time and a big fan of you two.

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Besides watching one Sam Holmes vid, YOU TWO are the first channel that I began following. Congratulations on your FIRST circumnavigation. Yes, I saw Brian finish his on Delos but yours seems to have been way more challenging. I also watched Matt and Amy on Florence finish their first CN. Another wonderful channel and great sailors. Looking forward to the next chapter of Nahoa. I hope you get crew on board for your next adventures. Acrtic... Juho, love his vids. Patagonia... Curtis and Kate, also wonderful vids. I watch both of those channels because they are NOT bikini babe stuff and they are in exotic places but NOT just surf and sand and palm trees. I like those too, especially good diving ones. See Delos' latest in Faka Rava. It will be very interesting to watch your sweeties grow up on board and learn all the sailing skills too. Willa needs a "Willa cam" soon Best in your future.

[@kmrbsc]

Congratulations!! I've been here for the vast majority of the journey! A proud Canadian watching your challenges and successes!!

[@denisederosa945]

Props for finally mentioning your loyal followers instead of only Patreon members. Follows and views put money in the bank too.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Even as you celebrate, I'm sure you think of your Mom. She would be so very proud. Thanks for sharing your lives on this circumnavigation.🌎 Congratulations 🤗

[@Sdelgado0267]

If it was easy everyone will be doing it. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us your viewers. Your hard work and sacrifices are paying off. Love your channel.

[@MrJazz-yp9wg]

I can't believe how far you all have come. It's been lots of ups and downs and here you are. It was so beautiful hearing you children giggling in the background. You guys have done it again. Smiles around the world and met new people on the way. Like I've said before I've been watching every single video from the beginning up to now and it's unbelievable that you've made it this far. I'm proud of you guys. It's so beautiful to see how baby Willa came into the scene and later on baby Bodhi. It's beautiful to watch them grow into these sailing life style. But I'm kinda sad because I'm coming to the end of your videos. There's not much left. Hopefully one day I can become a patrion. Please continue to stay safe.

[@deborahfields1338]

The kids laughing in the background says it all. Way to go keep it up. So fun to follow!😍

[@RiverWoods111]

I think I joined you at like 60K subscribers, boy not only have you sailed a lot of miles, but you have grown a huge channel too. And had a couple of surprise stowaways, at least one was a surprise blessing, and the other one was a bonus blessing! The views counter is spinning pretty well right now! A lot of people cheering you on. I was watching the O'Kelly's channel and they were there visiting friends and they saw you all come in and commented, "Here comes Nahoa into Grenada, finishing their circumnavigation it seemed like everyone knew you had come all the way around! Congrats that is an accomplishment!

[@Jason_Knightly]

I remember watching your vids in middle school and I’m now a senior in high school crazy to think how fast life goes!

[@kddidit08]

Wow! Where do you go to school?

[@thecrazypinkcatlady]

Ben and Ashley are 100% my favorite sailing channel. Have been for years now. I’m proud to be a Patron and support a hardworking family who puts out such real, raw content. You are living the life I want for us and our daughter, to be raised free, a world citizen. To learn about other cultures and how she can give back to communities. To not worry about having to wear a bulletproof backpack to school. You give me hope and bring us smiles.

[@SunVeggiesPeru-cj7vg]

welcome back , congrats to be back again. thanks

[@ToiOraLAT]

another magical show. You guys, all of you, are inspiring. I feel genuinely fortunate to be joining you on your journey. Yours is true "reality" TV, and I mean that in the best of all possible ways.

[@NunYaBizNus1]

Oklahoma here again!! CONGRATULATIONS!! You all are amazing!! I watch several sailing channels and you all truly make my heart smile!! Thank you for sharing your precious family!! Your little stow always are absolutely the cutest ever!! Ohhh my goodness!! Ben and Ashley you both are amazing parents and it’s plain to see your children are most important to you and I’ve enjoyed watching them grow!! Keep on keepin on doing what makes your hearts smile!! Oklahoma prays for you all and thanks you for sharing your lives with us!! 💖💖💖💖

[@mezanian]

As big as the last 8yrs have been, the next chapters will be awesome. Im here for the long haul. Thanks again 😊

[@Jerryberry172]

Your lives ar not boring. You’ve inspired our family. We’re now planning a sailing catamaran vacation in which we hope it’s what we think it is to inspire us to shove off someday!

[@daviddevilliers5797]

You guys are awesome and definitely not boring!! It was great to finally meet you all in person last week. I am honoured to be part of the next phase of your journey....I know we are creating a special boat that will serve you well no matter where you go.....

[@SailingNahoa]

You're the best! Cannot stop thinking about the De Villiers designed Nahoa 55. Probably pops into my thoughts every hour.

[@shelleyrichards9028]

A sentinel moment in your life for sure. 8 year project complete Looking forward to the new cat vessel and your next chapter. Ps my mom always said what you said Ashley about having kids. A little painful but you forget about the pain. She did that 7 times!

[@davidwebber6956]

Guys . Write a book . What a journey . So inspirational. 99.9% would have called it quits when children + covid + boat repairs all arrived out of the blue. Total admiration and respect.

[@rumblechick73]

WTG Nahoa! Thank you for sharing your NOT boring life with us and showing the ups & downs with open honesty. Hoping your new boat is a great success and looking forward to seeing the build process.

[@DvHedensted]

Thank you so much for taking us along for the ride 🌞 Big congratulations on you're first circumnavigation 🥳🎉🍻

[@ogforever1]

Congratulations! Thank you bringing us along on your journey.

[@dougmonroe3381]

I did enjoy a few snippets of this video of family life aboard and marvelous sunsets -- that's what many of us are here to see. Looking backward at where you've been we've already seen. Still, I'm glad that you've done this for us. I've enjoyed so much of it. Thank you. Most of us will stay with you.

[@RICARDOBRUNO100]

Congratulations , I have watched your trip for many years & enjoyed every moment , watching the additional crew grow has been wonderful . Congratulations , thanks so much for fabulous videos . Thanks Rick Australia

[@willmv4139]

Dear Ashley,Ben, Willa. Bodhi, thank you so much for sharing (to me) your authentic boat life, it is a blast!

[@livin383]

Thank you for taking us on the journey! Congrats!

[@mr.vancouver007]

I've just found your channel and I'm so happy I did 😀 hello from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦

[@Anthonym5236]

I love how u all are showing me this! I (hope I can say everyone watching these episodes) am living through u. I’m 51!

[@JeannieRobinson-s5d]

Your videos are awesome! I enjoy watching them. Please don't call what you do boring. It is very exciting to sail along with you and your family. Stay safe!!

[@lentongrovetrust5201]

Congratulations on going all the way round, you have achieved a lot more than you can imagine.

[@bc-guy852]

Congratulations on The First Lap. You've shared so much positivity all around the world. It's an honour to have been with you through the entire voyage. I and about a half-million other people look forward to what comes next on Nahoa 55 for my favourite Canadian Ambassadors. Truly inspirational - never boring.

[@jeremiahknabe5648]

I started watching you guys 5 years ago when you were rocking like 75,000 subscribers. I only watched you guys for about the first year then picked up watching a few others as well. Other I watch here and there but I've watched every single video you've posted for the past 5 years. Ben, I've never watched one that wasn't a media highlight of my week. Put your doubts aside! You both talented storytellers and more importantly, remarkable humans. Thank you for your willingness to share your lives with us all. (Even the not as great moments like snapping the "gun" over your leg.). The world is a better place because of what you put out there. I'm so excited for your future and will continue being a superfan and patron! Congratulations Ben, Ahsley, Willa and Bodi!

[@2early4_coffee]

So happy 🎉for Ben and Ashley on sailing across the world and taking us with them on this amazing journey!!! 🔥

[@etexanwill]

Love it! Congratulations! I consider it a success when I pull out of our neighborhood lake, but y'all frickin' sailed around the world!

[@galumaygurruwiwi9055]

You are such a beautiful family, so incredibly peaceful, that's the thing I notice the most, so calm, so centered & grounded I thought I was pretty chill, but you guys are next level. The videos are always a joy to watch. As fellow Cat owners you are an inspiration. Thanks so much.

[@nemomonteflores3890]

Thanks!

[@rolandojr.jeremillo5306]

Congratulations on your achievement! One of the few chosen sailing channels that we watch. Stay real, stay true, stay strong! Looking forward to your new boat! Cheers!

[@rolandojr.jeremillo5306]

Thank you?

[@sherrihannah8294]

Congratulations 🎈 and thank you for the wonderful videos the last few years. lots of love from Canada

[@kledbetter5410]

It has been an amazing time watching you make the trip. I cannot wait until we start our circumnavigation and hopefully cross paths. Congrats!!!!

[@FunsongsMusicByPeterRahill]

BIG CONGRATS on completing THE GREAT CIRCLE... you've made memories that will last your lifetime; and some great video documenting much of it. Such an amazing journey. "Beer Time!" Indeed - "Cheers!" you two + two.

[@andrewkenny4633]

I have been following you since the start and as a fellow sailer I have admired your no nonsense approach to everything even rebuilding the bridge deck and I wish you many more adventures together I am coming to the end of my sailing life never sailed anywhere like you but enjoyed my sailing and battles with the sea which I have always treated with respect. My now battle is with cancer which I hope to win and hopefully get back sailing at 72 is not doing bad . Fair winds for your future travels which I will look forward to enjoying.

[@DirkJacobsz]

Well done guys - so happy for you - as a sailor your videos are inspirational - gratitude and tolerance it is all about the people's you meet on the way- love your adventurous attitude - we met a couple when we stopped at Chagos - they had a 2 year old and 4 year old on board. Beautiful kids just like yours. We also met a 16 year old kid who had circumnavigated twice with his folks - he came on board and taught me things- what confident young man he was with a wonderful world view. Congrats on the trip.

[@daleevans3250]

Thank you for the wonderful adventure. Watching the kids grow is such a treat for this 86 year old is such a treat. May you always have fair winds and calm seas.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thank you for all the times you have shared with us and so glad you did. Thank you.

[@TheSCOOTER1943]

Congratulations! I have followed you around the World. you are an amazing family. This year I will become a Patron of your further adventures. My very best to you all. It has been a wonderful journey for me. Best regards, Boompy

[@JaySea1069]

You are beautiful people who have given us a view of our world that has never been seen before. THANK YOU! I too have the salt in my blood. I grew up on the ocean in South Harpswell, Maine. I used to drive tractor trailer all over Canada and tell people, if you want to refresh your faith in humanity, go to Canada, away from the border and big cities and hang out with good people. Congradulations! Can't wait for the Northwest Passage, Joel

[@russellwilson8931]

Congrats to you guys from New Zealand. You did it! Don't forget to thank the Lord. He loves you and the precious children that he gave to you. God bless you and keep safe.

[@bripeck]

That’s amazing, that line in the ocean! You guys rock btw! That was awesome, hearing your kids laughing in the background as you two were reflecting on your experiences! I can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@KirkThomson]

Congratulations!!! What an incredible achievement! Thank you so much for sharing your lives, adventures and the beauty of this world with your fans.

[@williamsron]

You have seen so much in this world that not many of us will ever see/experience. Thank you for sharing.🇨🇦

[@JasonSmith-py3gy]

I have watched every video and have seen the growth in your editing, presenting and quality grow to an exceptional level. I for one can’t wait to watch this crap every week 😂. Congrats on the epic task of not only a circumnavigation but the addition of 2 young crew and some major refits on the way. You are both role models to living life and not being chained down by tradition but finding your own way in life. Much respect and adoration to you both.❤ 🎉

[@tomcraddock244]

What an amazing trip! Congrats to you all !!!

[@christopherhutchings9621]

Congratulations y'all! You're videos and commentary are always valid and appreciated 👍

[@bobmcelvogue8133]

Congratulations. 8 years equals plus two crew. Will another 8 years equal another 2 crew. All the best. Really enjoyed watching I’m going to go back and watch the first 7 years. I’ve only started watching 6 months ago. You guys could easily be on TV.

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

You have become our favorite channel! We get so excited to see a video get booted up that we don't even wait for the other one to watch because we know we won't mind watching again. My husband is working on the last bits of our campervan and then I will make the curtains and all the easy stuff compared to what he has done. I'm so proud of him. He's a carpenter by trade, but he installed so much solar because we plan to get a camper as well. The van is so I can go out and find vintage jewelry and clothing, etc... and if I have the cojones to do it, I will start my own channel. Can't wait for your next video. Willa and Brodie have so much fun together and it's so wonderful and adorable to see! Take good care!

[@itsthatguy478]

❤🎉 Congratulations🎉❤ What a wonderful trip around the world. Thank you for sharing it with us. We are looking forward to seeing where you go next. BEST wishes and positive vibes to you and your family.

[@roadboat9216]

YaaaaaaaaaaaaY!!!!!! You did it. And what a great place to finish/start. We loved Grenada. Based out of there for a number of years befor heading to Panama and beyond. Yes, can very much relate to so much that you were saying here. BTW. We drank water maker water made with reasonably clean sea water up to about 800PPM. Now 80 yrs old and still healthy! So couldn’t have hurt very much. Same thing with rain water. We had full bulwarks so after letting a downpour rinse the decks, we could fill our 800L tanks in one good tropical shower. We had a decent filter for drinking water in the galley. And wow, you did all this with 2 babies/toddlers. Pretty amazing. Also loved you drone shots of the divide from Amazon and ocean. Great stuff. And NO this isn’t crap! It’s good video. Enjoyed by novices/armchair sailors, and seasoned cruisers as well.

[@mkmccoy6929]

So awesome to see you finally make a lap !!! I have been watching for almost 5 years now !! Your little ones are so lucky to live a life at sea ...super jelly of y'all ... but love seeing y'all grow ... Thank you for sharing this with us all !!!

[@tinacatharinaeden2711]

Dear Ben, Ashley, Willa and Bodhi. Your happy smiles say it all! You did it! You did it with class, positivity and respect for different cultures and creatures, great parenting skills and love. So happy for you. Can't wait for the next adventure. ❤❤❤❤

[@Over65Retired]

Congratulations amazing accomplishment My wife and just started following you on KZbin We are in our mid sixties and your videos are awesome and inspiring 🤙🤙✊️✊️👏👏💪💪

[@emmaipsaro4711]

The kids laugh when you're talking around 26 min is so cute and wholesome. I feel like seeing this life thru their eyes must be amazing

[@hrhplease9119]

💥Hands down one of my favorite sailing channels. Definitely one of my top five picks for YT period. It has been awesome to see you before & after those beautiful kiddos. Ben you are one of the best storytellers. The scripts you narrate are moving & pull me right through the screen. Beautiful, talented, happy & genuine is how I feel about Noah. They don’t make them like they used to, & we sure could use more people like you guys in our world today.💥

[@robertbeger4275]

Whoopie! Congratulations! It certainly doesn't feel like an ending. More like a celebration of another right of passage in life. Like hitting 21. And you keep going. High Five and Hugs!

[@11calmday00]

I'm so proud to know you even if this is all I know of you. Thanks for keeping an old woman happy and young at heart

[@zanecopeland5262]

Much Congratulations! Y'all were my first sailing channel to follow almost 5 years ago! Your journey has been absolutely amazing! Can't wait for the adventure to come!

[@Lishabright]

Massive congratulations to you guys!!!!! I’ve been following your travels for over 4 years and you remain my absolute favourite channel. Always makes me happy when you post a new vid. Much love and fair winds to you all

[@snapon179]

Congrats on completing the lap. My wife and I have watched your channel from the start and have never missed an episode.

[@errisa1176]

Congratutaions on you circumnavigation! Loved watching you all become a family!

[@tinanunya7343]

Congratulations Nahoa family! I have enjoyed sailing around the world with you! The kids are getting so big and they look happy. I can’t wait to see where we go next! Stay safe. Thanks for the videos from Kershaw South Carolina USA.

[@patassion]

We live west coast Canada. Poco BC. Each Sunday we look forward to your videos. A highlight of our week.

[@williamdoyle777]

Outstanding the two of you turned into four. Bravo for your courage and joy.

[@urbannomadslife]

Congratulations! I've been following you for a while now. it's so inspiring watching your journey!

[@peterbrown2336]

Ben and Ashley I can only echo the positive comments you've had from so many people. Your achievement cannot be underestimated and the fact you did it with your very young family is so admirable. I find it slightly sad that your following on KZbin is smaller than some one could mention but I think you give such a real picture of life a sailing nomads with the ups and downs. I look forward to your next and next adventure. Here is to you and the future boat and what is to come. Very fairest of winds.

[@ajaymistryuk]

You guys are amazing people with great values, and your content and family journey is amazing. ❤

[@rogerhoad8176]

FANTASTIC! Best achievement with your children.

[@imscanon]

You did it! It's so exciting! I think there should be a special flag a circumnavigation gets to fly on their mast for the rest of their lives as a show of achievement and a beacon of hope for others on the journey. Ya'll should make one and send it to the others on YT who also finished it.

[@gungho6798]

You guys rock . I applaud you , your stories , your kindness and sharing fun and bad times . The birth of your child etc . Congrats.

[@winstonsmith6416]

Congratulations Ben and Ashley, I remember you both riding a truck in Grenada going to pick up your boat back when

[@vbjarnecat]

Sorry for your loss. I love seeing all the clothes, hats and so on. I love history too.

[@waughthogwaugh3078]

Congratulations! You do a wonderful job of sharing great stories here on YT. Thank you.

[@GR-yf1cm]

Congratulations to you guys, absolute legends. I will definitely be following the family adventures for the future ❤❤❤

[@1sweetmess]

Also wanted add I love watching you guys. I've been learning about sailing and after seeing other families doing it, we decided that's the dream. We have 5-10 year plan to get out there too. You all are inspiring and I just wanted to mention that.

[@mikeferguson2828]

Congrats guys. Over 300ppm is a dying membrane on your water maker. Change it out to a new one and you will get 120-130 max. Helps with less corrosion on your taps shower heads etc. sadly we lost our asymmetrical spinnaker last year due to carelessness of crew from Fernando to Suriname where we stopped over which made us motor a lot big heavy sails just don’t cut it with 8 knots apparent wind at 150 degrees. But now we sold over previous cat and are on a bigger one Back in Malaysia again… so we start our trip again …

[@martinjjnoagenda5536]

Congratulations. Thank you for taking us on all of your adventures to places many of us will never see.

[@mariab5949]

You are such a beautiful family❤️🥰 Thank you for taking us on your journey around the world! AMAZING ❤️❤️
