The Price Some Sailors Pay to Reach THIS

[@r0cketplumber]

Your kids are getting the most magical childhood possible, it just makes me smile. Rockin!

[@BJ-xs7np]

Thank you guys, so good to see you again. I love your family life, you guys are such a good example of what a family should be.

[@MikeMichaels-f5i]

I have been watching this channel for a while. Ashley and Ben, You are an amazing couple, giving Willa and Bodi an awesome Life ! The Confidence that You both have in navigating, repairing, sailing Nahoa is just incredible, whilst raising two toddlers. I watch and rewatch each episode with great Pleasure. Sadly, due to the horrendous exchange rate, I am not in a position to become a patron but follow the channel each week. Fair winds and Safe travels. Regards from Cape Town

[@GUCR44]

So amazing you all... Thank you for taking me with you.. Peace and love Rolfie

[@mvcaroline]

I love to see that you have stuck to Nahoa and made her a way better boat than she was from Lagoon. Are you still considering a custom build? I have noticed that other cruisers buying millions of dollars “production boats” seem to be ending up with more problems than I have ever had with buying a well built, well designed and properly refit yacht.

[@paulinehart1479]

I was wondering about the Nahoa 55 as well. It's been a while since an update.

[@opus2006]

The crab race is bloody marvelous. You're great parents.

[@eugenio1542]

Especially the sexy leopard leotard and hair style 🤬

[@dansbrown1313]

I am one of many, who bonded with little Willa when she experienced an anaphylactic reaction to a mislabeled jar of peanut butter. She survived because her Parents reacted without hesitation. Ashley administered adrenalin with an "Ana kit" she had on hand and Ben didn't pooh poo the event , instead he immediately took Willa to a local Hospital,where she was stabilized and we get to check up on her with every "Nahoa" video. Thank you Ben and Ashley!

[@SailingNahoa]

Aww thanks 🙏❤️ we now carry minimum 2-3 epi pens around when out. 10+ aboard at all times. Lifelong journey….

[@dansbrown1313]

@@SailingNahoa I love you Victoria Kids and your Nahoa kids. Perhaps try "Doyle sails" . Nikki and Jason aka "Curiosity 2" have good luck with those people. Thanks for responding Ben & Ashley. Dan from Nanaimo.

[@dc1544]

As always a great time with you all. So when is Nahoa 55 going to be ready?

[@joshyoung3138]

You know what would really separate your channel from other KZbin sailors? When you’re showing any scene where the boat is underway, show on screen at least the following: - sail or motor? - depth - speed - wind direction - current direction - whatever else is relevant. We’re all here aspiring to do what you do. What else is relevant?!?!?! Keep up the amazing videos!

[@kristaready8812]

You guys rock! Love how amazing you are with the kids, not teaching them fear. What an incredible childhood 🤗💞

[@amysimpson646]

What a blessed life you live. ❤️

[@nancy3102]

Love everything about this family and their adventures!❤️

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you guys! Glad Willa was feeling better. Safe travels. ❤

[@alanaUK]

Beautiful episode and a stunning private island for you to explore as a family ❤

[@gardgarland5293]

I’ve watched several sailing channels over the years. My favorite cruising area is the South Pacific but u til this video I never realized the difference between the Marq’s and the Tua’s. Great episode as always.

[@suzannadannaTARDIS]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful vista with us. Wow.

[@ejs6010]

Great sail. Love the hermit crabs!

[@Blauwassersegeln-eu]

Dear Ashley and Ben, cool video. Many memories about the Tuamotus. Sorry about your headsail, it also happened to us in the red sea. Fortunately we got it repaired by a sail maker in Turkey. Take care and enjoy Angela and Reto SHE SAN

[@giselekusmik9167]

Beautiful beautiful video! Glad Willa got thru her fever and yuckies! ☺️💖

[@stephenmacleod8524]

Great episode guys! Brings back such great memories.

[@randkrandk3590]

So inspired by your adventures and love the amazing places you show us!

[@Valerie_Dawn]

Beautiful family, beautiful island, beautiful episode. So sorry Willa was feeling so sick through most of it. Bodhi is going to be a great fisherman one day! Ashley and Ben, you are such great parents.

[@seventhdayissabbath8747]

Thank you so much for the 21.49 min. of relaxing beautiful scenery and the showing of life on the boat! I always look forward to Sailing Nahoa videos.. God bless and until next time, stay safe...

[@huga-t3j]

great video, thanks, I used to live close to islands like this, Not now. Missing it ;-(

[@tinanunya7343]

That was beautiful!! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully Willa feels better soon.

[@pleclerc1]

Great video as always guys, and to follow on Kon tiki's path sounds amazing, enjoy

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

What a beautiful spot. What a magical place to visit, the wee ones are so cute.

[@Gracenoest]

Your kids are just so beautiful and smiling chaps tight lines buddy!

[@ChrisFryer78]

I live in Melbourne Australia and have been following your family since Boody was born. Your children are having the most wonderful childhood I wish I could have given my twin boys. What you have given to Willa and Boody. My boys were diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I gave them the best I could, they. always told me they had a wonderful child hood. Christopher & Nicholas are now searching the Multiverse. Good Sailing and stay safe. 💝🇦🇺

[@ChrisFryer78]

I forgot to let you know my name Christopher & Nickolas now deceased. Miss them terribly good night Stay safe Jenny Fryer

[@MikeMichaels-f5i]

​@@ChrisFryer78So Sorry for Your loss. 😢

[@rosiegreddogyachts4135]

Fifty year sailmaker here. That code zero material hates the sun and looks OK until it isn't. Light/strong/cheap... pick two. If the film isn't completely dead, it can be repaired but seems unlikely it isn't dead. When you get a new one, ask about UV life of the material. Great for your kids to grow up at sea. Respect.

[@BKKNOW1]

What a great life meeting people from around the world

[@beardedtraveleradam]

skipjack aka aku in hawaii is a local favorite!! the trick is to bleed them out good by cutting gills soon as catch then pack ice good.. We eat poke and sashimi also you can salt and pepper it and dry it!!!! sells for 30$usd a lb here

[@WillN2Go1]

I've heard of using bungees to dampen the impact of a gust or a snapping sail. Haven't done it myself, though I played a bit with a 100lb exercise tube. Seemed like it might work. But it's one of those things you only want to use soft shackles on so if it snaps it doesn't kill you. (Also in Japan the only 'bungees' I could find were slit rubber -- like bicycle tires. They're DIY, but they sell the strands and the hooks, and it's not at all difficult getting a good join. Worked great to keep our life raft pod from sliding out of its cradle. ) Instrument fixation. The first thing I noticed when I upgraded from 20 year old Ray Marine to current B&G (which I have a lot of experience with) is fussing with all the menus my boat would get completely turned around. Endless distraction. (Contextual menus should be banned. 'wait! where was that ....?' which menu again?? ) (And Tesla makes great FSD software, amazing. But the on screen interface? It's is by far the biggest trigger to the Pay Attention Alert Scolds. And phone Apps seem to being adding stupid layers and click in this corner, and then in that corner..... That's the second cause of scolds. And why are buttons so small, or horizontal? In a car or on a boat our fingers are bobbing up and down.)

[@sandrasumabat7350]

Bella looks like she is feeling better. ❤

[@michaelleonardelli6663]

Hey guys we love your channel, Jennifer and I are looking forward to setting sail from Georgian Bay Ontario next summer to head down to Florida and then the Bahamas and then wherever the wind takes us, hopefully around the world… Circumnavigation lol. We find so much inspiration in your videos and we’re always looking for your latest video to come out. We were wondering why you don’t talk about your plan to build a new boat anymore.

[@dougmonroe3381]

Nice beach! I'd be careful with those hermit crabs, though, they have tough pincers. I knew a little girl who had one pinch her so hard that she couldn't get it off; we had to use a pair of needle-nosed pliers to open the pincer...and she had one very, very sore spot on the palm of her hand (between her thumb and index finger) where the crab had grabbled hold. 😫

[@ВиталийСтепанов-б2д]

Класс 👍 вы молодцы 🙌 у вас хорошая семья!!

[@bamby5211]

Wow! Beautiful.... The fish you caught was huge! Good to see that Willa is feeling better. Thank you for showing us your adventures...Stay positive, Stay blessed.

[@ernestocoloma2605]

I think I met Ashley’s mother today in Winnipeg! Congratulations for your cool content guys.

[@BenGarlick-k3i]

I’m so glad I stumbled across your videos…..we’re taken to all the hidden places ….fantastic footage and you are both so down to earth and balanced! And those adorable kidlets! Don’t stop the videos…I’ve cancelled Netflix 😅 ( from West Australia)

How about flying the drone to spot balmies?

Beautiful anchorage. ♥

[@Tory-zp3dw]

Best narration . Ben’s voice and the content. 😊

[@peggyl]

What a beautiful island!

[@crazyawakening]

Yup those atolls look like paradise, enjoy

[@jmsask]

We all should have experiences like this to appreciate life more

[@SusanFitzgerald-jf4io]

Another great video you live a life and thanks for sharing it with us x

[@moonhand8311]

A fantastic visual opening.

[@Ross401]

Sorry to say but that Starlink unlimited data "near shore" appears to be going away this month with the recent change and anytime your on the water, including rivers , inland passages, lakes and now may include marinas. Starting sometime this month, you will only get unlimited data for 5 consecutive days and limited to 60 days total per year near shore, then your using your priority data. They are now sticking it to the cruising community.

[@bethlef5168]

So cool. We love the videos

[@MZderf]

Awesome segment!

[@AbdulAleemShekhani]

The way Body says thank you upon receiving the crab, adorable and priceless, great parenting guys :]

One of your best. Thank you for sharing.

[@deandobbs2727]

Enjoyed the video !

[@LuvNLifeNow2024]

Favorite sailing channel =)

[@jaylawvlogs264]

What you guys are doing is amazing ! And your kids to experience this is priceless. To interact in the different cultures etc. one thing and I have to say it. It makes me a little nervous with the youngest running around the boat with no life preserver. 🛟. You both obviously know what you’re doing. When I was young I experienced a terrible situation with a family member. So I’m always thinking that way. You all are truly inspiring.

[@John-m5k4r]

My wife and I participated in hermit crab racing in the Maldives when we got engaged… they drew a perfect circle with a small centre circle and we each placed our crabs in the centre… it was great fun! *no crabs were hurt and all released back to the beach!

[@BirdDog.]

The best video you ever made was those mushroom island in Fiji. I hope you go back

What a score! Ya'll found a pricedless paradise.

[@Illuminati300]

I live in Toronto Canada on Lake Ontario I’m 40 now 3 to 5 years. I’m gonna be doing the exact thing you guys are doing, but it’s hard to find a proper catamaran here, and I wonder if I could even sell it from here down the St. Lawrence and into the ocean don’t know if there’s any size limit. bit time will tell good luck to you guys

[@deerfootnz]

Even after 5 trips across the south pacific the Tuamotu are still my favourite, though the anti yachtie feeling in French Polynesia these days means I may abstain for the next few years, or at least stick to the least visited atolls. Fakarava definitely has a bad feeling these days.

[@isousad]

So beautiful, simply amazing :)

[@Pbj925]

Fun to watch your adventures. ⛵️ 🌊 🛶

[@Ghost_Recon_Actual]

Thanks for posting this week's great video. You've picked the perfect island to "take a break" from the swells for a while. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, your children will grow up with the knowledge that can never be taught or learned in a classroom. Your navigation all over the world and home-schooling will produce well-rounded and well-educated members of society. Enjoy your stay on the islands.

[@danielosrc9825]

Those stranded boats are usually due to lack of experience and training. In Europe no one would charter you a boat without a licence. Need to know at least how tides and currents work, how to read weather forecasts, and have previous anchoring experience, which is hours and hours. On top of everything are procedures that should always be followed, like to have someone on anchor watch at all times. Sailing is not only fun. There is a lot of responsibility involved as well. I have had even to prove on exam that can rescue MOB when on sail only as such situation might happen.

[@getprobed838]

do you ever worry about hitting something floating with your boat? something hard that could damage it? or does that never really happen?

[@rickdaniel8478]

😊very cool Sail on

[@svevergreen3370]

your comment on the boats that end up on the reef is very appropo watching "breaking waves" just end up in the reef likely not too far from you. It's a risky business up there in the atolls and you guys take it so naturally guess I will have to see how you took it on the first go around :)

[@SoaringMidlo]

That pass looked terrifying. Is there a risk of broaching in those standing waves?
