STUFF you Do when SAILING AROUND THE WORLD

[@KingsMom831]

One of the main reasons I have LOVED this channel, is because you guys have always seemed authentic & genuine. Plus you both have awesome personalities!!! ❤

[@Inconcvable77]

One thing I LOVE about your sailing family that is different than others is that you're not afraid to interact with the locals. Sure you have to be cautious, but you are also showing your kids (and others by way of your videos) that not everyone is "out to get you" and how to PROPERLY interact with the locals and what blessings you can get from that. You all are a great example of how to be a "Global Citizen"!

[@sophiegauthier6041]

Cam you just imagine growing up sailing around the world ! Some kids don't even get out of their provinces or even cities. Such a beautiful way to grow up and live 💕.

[@RAEckart22]

Check out Holly Martin's YT channel - WindHippie Sailing. There is an answer to your question!

[@varieze117pj7]

I'm a fixit guy that lives on aired plains of North Central Montana. I watch sailing videos just to see what everyone is fixing a maintaining each week. Thanks for sharing. The kids are growing fast.

[@davidascher1801]

It's wonderful to see the children so happy!

[@ackack612]

I'm more than a little concerned about the repairs, the effectiveness and the current status of the structural integrity of the boat. Seems we went from a really serious safety issue to huh, what happened(?) in a short span. The flexing of the hulls, the rig and the movement and separation of the bulkhead panels, (the film of which I cannot get out of my head)...I look forward to updates and under sail views of the repairs. All of that not withstanding, I'm continually impressed with what a great couple these two make. Bring on next week!

[@JoaquimHenriques_1]

Probably they will not talk anymore about that issue. In exchange for a free “Bulkhead Repair Kit”, they must sign NDA with Lagoon. The repair kit just works with unbroken boats. After being broken the procedure is very hard labor and technical, and the kit from the Lagoon is just one big joke. Check “Sailing Parlay Revival” KZbin episodes and you get the idea of the task… Crossing the ocean with the Lagoon in that conditions, broken bulkhead, is crazy!

[@allanfifield8256]

Worried myself. NDA for repair is a reasonable guess. Suddenly back to Happy, Happy but maybe they are using older un-posted material.

[@rv90splittergaming6]

Didnt he replace and fix the rotten parts?

[@ackack612]

We don't really know, do we...

[@4GH440]

@@JoaquimHenriques_1 Please deal with facts, this boat is not even of the same vintage as a Lagoon 450 and built completely differently. From what I saw and what was said and not said, there was no broken bulkhead. If you dont have something contructive to say then dont say it !!!!

[@capttom7772]

BEN & ASH, It's nice to see you are able to "STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES"!👍💪❤🏝 CHEERS !🍻

[@jansmith3158]

I'm proud of you two!! You both are so respectful towards each other and some how in the crazy times you can make each other laugh about them (and make us laugh too) 😂

[@keithbrandon8540]

"Learn to live like a local" 👍 That's travel advice too often overlooked. Love the T towel rescue! Those child backpacks are great, giving you free hands while you hike. Fun video, thanks guys 👍 👍

[@goin2green]

Oh those steps. You'll really be chasing the kiddos now! So glad you're gonna keep sharing your sailing adventures.

[@rebeccahill5146]

I love the episodes when you go provisioning! It is neat to see what is available in other countries.

[@lyndonunger8201]

As echoed by others, I appreciate a snapshot at the "mundane, day in the life of, normal behind the scenes, maintenance projects" that happen when you live on a boat. Stuff breaks wherever you live - but you must have to be more aware (and agile) when parts and materials are harder to get depending where you are when things fail. I'm glad you've been able to put your structural boat issues behind you for now. And happy you've been able to rediscover the joys that started you making your first lap. Thanks for sharing your trip with us landlubbers.

[@MEdGrant]

At least Ben didn't get her a new car tire for her birthday! 😀

[@myzacky96]

I love watching your videos and so does my Boston Terrier Beaudi, when you say "Bodhi" my Beaudi's ears perk up thinking your calling him, so cute

[@hexhex7220]

Just keeping it real! That's what we love about you guys!

[@thatslucky5548]

This was a great video! It was nice to see you so happy to share your everyday life. Happy Nahoa will float on.

[@T_P_W_ThachoZenjuan]

It's like hanging laundry in the 🏜️ with our high wind adventures. Love ya all! 💖❤️💖

[@rexstiger6090]

Always good for everyone to see the reality of this, which includes everything that happens in between the beautiful beaches and great sailing. Thanks

[@gordonsutton3681]

After having followed you guys for a few years now it was a wonderful experience meeting you all yesterday at your mooring in Eden Island. What a lovely family you all are, will always remember and cherish the moment.

[@skycop56]

Ashley, you are an absolute gem. I love your spirit and your charm. Your ready smile warms my heart. Ben is a very lucky guy to have such a wonderful gal as his wife.

[@julianbatcheler9970]

I never imagined it was easy. It’s a life I want and I fully get the hardship, the discomfort, the fear. But you still do it. For me a lot is about just getting away from typical life in Europe/USA I can’t stand it anymore… and meeting people… seeing the world. And the issues will be mine to deal with… It’s a real case of feel the fear and do it anyway… and understand the fact it’s not an easy life… and do it anyway. I’ve set a deadline now and told relevant family that I’m off as soon as I can get things organized. I’m at the other end of family life to you… my wife of 31 years wanted a divorce… two of my three kids are adults. It’s now or never. I’m 55 and every year counts at this age. Love you guys Cheers Julian

Your attitude is admirable! Cannot phantom circumnavigating the world with two toddlers. You’re teaching me to chill and to take everything in stride. Don’t worry, be happy. Love you guys! 😘

[@teeanahera8949]

Phantom? I think that is *fathom.

[@johnross440]

Thank you Ben and Ashleigh for the nice positive video this week really enjoyed it.... John and Penny.... Ontario, Canada....

[@iPhotolife101]

LOL retrieving the tea towel Thanks for the video postings I enjoy following your adventures FYI I live in Nanaimo :)

[@magieschannel3379]

Ash, I must say you are looking good. The hair color makes you glow and i think to kids brings out the best in you. Ben, your looking younger by the day as well. Kids keep you on your toes. Love you guys!

[@TutaraTours]

Hi! To both to you! I've watched your videos many times over the years, you're learning to cope with adversities, you're learning to be the best parents you can, your loyalty to all around you, who you meet, your total shearing of your lives with all of us. I want to say thanks, , the filming, is amazing and priceless. As a skipper of a large catamaran, I don't know how you cope with it all, when I have a full yacht of guest, It's full on, and here you are, having time to present to us each week a full video production. You are both simply amazing... Thank you!

[@belizeguy]

As they say, "It is always something!" All handled with your usual grace and charm. Awesome...

[@waynemckee9170]

So cute to see the kids in a plastic tub having a ball. When our kids were small we’d put in the bottom board to our companion way and fill the cockpit with water….made a great bathtub! LOL

[@FunsongsMusicByPeterRahill]

9:32 - 3K+ like posted, only after 21,325 viewers beat me to it - great illustration of 'apparent wind' for those of us who experience this adventure from a desktop. Many, many thanks again for sharing all of this with your Phantom Shipmate/s. "CHEERS!" PS: I recommend the 4:47 segment as your illustration of 'stand alone'... whatever.

[@Chris-be1fo]

Yea, another circumnavigation. So much more to look forward to in viewing your videos. Love it. You four are an inspiration

[@JosephSchneider]

Super stoked about what’s to come! You don’t know it.. but we are friends.. 😆 That’s the vibe y’all’s channel gives.. Keep on Keep’n on Nahoa! 🤙🏼

[@jamesgregg5410]

Just love your adventures, and how you both deal with two kids! Your both so laid back, and manage without any crew! keep up the good work!

[@tinacatharinaeden2711]

What a great video! Day to day life goes on while on a boat, without a lot of the conveniences of on land living and a lot of added tasks that need to be done. The repairs! Yikes! Still worth it of course! ❤️❤️

[@travismull944]

Your little ones are getting SO BIG! Wow, how time flies!

[@Debberdoon]

No matter where you live, there is always home maintenance, personal maintenance, laundry, grocery shopping, housekeeping, and paperwork legalities.

[@vaughanatkinson8421]

This was probably the best vid you have done, u guys were so upbeat and positive....yay!!

[@olecurmudgeon]

Love you guys. Thanks for letting us come along.

[@lizhanson7239]

We re-titled our circumnavigation very early on. It went from Sailing in Paradise to (Constantly) Fixing Our Boat in Exotic Places 😁. But still a great way to make a living and spend your life ⛵⚓

[@peterbloomfield2494]

OK I thought you were champions when it was just you and ashley, now I'm flabbergasted. How do you do it. Life on a boat - not easy. Life on a bost, sailing round the world - seriously not easy. Life onboard a boat for a circumnavigation of the globe with various stops and all the admin that needs with two kids. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. not to mention allergies.... If i had a hat I wouldn't be wearing it. P.S. I know you think your just living your lives and minding your own but seriously it is truly inspiring and amazing and wonderful watching you make so much of your time at sea. Well Done!

[@SailingMothership]

LOVE his dive into the water to save one of your favorites!

[@1972xlh]

Y’all are a beautiful family, inside and out. Thanks for sharing your adventures and your trials with us. I feel blessed to peek into your amazing lives and wish you every happiness!

[@robertfulton9852]

You guys are having a wonderful life so enjoy every minute of it. Your kids will be so glad that you let them grow up on the ocean!

[@pleclerc1]

One of your best videos, loved seeing the side that none boat owners do not get to see...thanks for sharing our reality of what boat life really is :)

[@steffc8881]

Thanks for honesty and explaining how you live on a boat. Thanks for sharing your time and family with us ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@bethlef5168]

You 4 are so fun to watch!!❤

[@passagemaker6039]

I enjoy how you can share the absolute magic of traveling the world on your sailboat while also showing your lives in a way that is real and relatable. Another channel that I use to crave watching just is not doing it for me anymore. I can only take so much partying and watching others play.

I'm staying a Land Dweller. Your need a MacGyver or fix it person that has no fear to tackle the projects to live on a boat. Your kids are sooo cute and you 2 are giving them an amazing life education. Blessings!

I did this 20 years ago alone, looking at your video family and companionship I realised how much of a mistake I made. She winds calm seas and great adventures all my best wishes to you all

[@stevenr8606]

👍 💡finally some says/shows it as it is. Some people get the notion of, Blue sky's with calm wind (no bugs), white sandy beaches, clear water and everyday is a typical Sundowners evening. Oh, that's the Caribbean cruisers & channels. Do get me wrong. It's fun (sometimes) with lots of other things mixed in. My vessel was built in '65. Lots of fun 😀 🥴 daily. Thanks!

[@GUCR44]

Love you guys.. You are "real" people! Stay safe. Rolfie

It was great to see this episode. Seems you turned the page on the broken hull chapter and back on track to your sailing adventure. Can’t wait to see your next great update.

I’m not sure what the analytics would do if you did, but I quite like the mundane content. Sort of a “hey this is mundane stuff we do to get to THIS!” And then show some fun stuff.
