great video,. Molly was so great. This child has the best parents. You were so careful not to dump her off. it's a beautiful thing to see the love and trust this little girl has for her daddy and the love her daddy has for her. I love your family. be safe, be adventurous and sail on.
It was a highlight, for sure. Yep, she can be pretty brave at times. She trusts me. So far, I haven't done anything to ruin that trust - like crashing a high-speed dinghyboard with her on it. :)
Thank you. We thoroughly enjoyed, and I second those who praised your editing skills. Indeed, I do not agree with those who demand narration, or details on where, when, how, or even the length. I suspect those that choose to downvote have preferences that are at variance to the vast majority of your followers. YOU are the artist!
It is really great to see y'all having so much fun. I hope the fun never stops for y'all. Guess I am just one of those guys that will always wish I had and what if.
You're whatever you want to be! We hope you find the right boat. Keep ACTIVELY looking. Talk to people, call marinas, talk to surveyors, get in touch with insurance companies for "totaled" boats... don't just browse online. Basically just keep turning over rocks and you'll be surprised at the opportunities that come up when you look in obscure places. Stay motivated. Keep moving. Your boat is out there, but it's more than just a matter of patience: you've got to find her. Hope that helps bud. I'm rooting for you.
Ben, thank you again for another great video and for the answer about putting the dinghy on the davits. I'll bet Molly has another memory that will last her a lifetime and hoping Tambi is back on her sea legs soon. Your videos really give us inspiration while trying to wash bottom paint and epoxy out of our hair.
She was especially concerned at one point where we were both picking up speed, and carving out away from the dinghy. An unusual sensation for her first ever experience on a board.
Another cool video..... As most others have commented, you are GREAT parents!!! I can't tell if Molly enjoyed that or not.....intense look, intense look, intense look.....petrified look.....
Obviously Tambi wasn't in to this sport, but good for Molly trying it with Dad! The expressions on her face were priceless, from frightened to absolutely freaked. The lady in the blue suit was very well endowed and that helped with her flotation for sure!
Tambi would have loved to, but she wasn't feeling well that day. We used to wakeboard a lot - I'm pretty sure she would have gotten up on her first try. Bummer that she didn't have a part though.
Looks like fun and our little's face when she was on the board with you was just priceless!!! BUT where was your better half did she just set this one out???
This was just one of the bonus videos. It's not in the normal chronological sequence - it's not numbered in other words. The crazy part is that this 4 minute clip took over 17 hours to edit! A very intensive project, but it sure did turn out good!
Sailboat Story I looked the Yamaha up its 81lbs. My new 4 stoke mercury 9.9 is I think 89lbs. That's a good savings but they don't make the 2 stroke anymore 🙁
Oh they make em - but they can't be sold in the states. Many folks buy their 2 strokes in Nassau. Our 4hp 4 stroke is amazing on fuel, but I'd really like more power to get to the more remote reefs for spearfishing.
Sailboat Story good info thanks for the replies👍I'll be making my first trip to the Bahamas soon but still have a bunch more work to do on my new boat. Im actually doing what you guys did renting my house out but I'm by myself. I just found your videos and watched all of them in about a 3 day period. They're definitely getting better quality I've had some good laughs 👍
We were cracking up when we reviewed the footage afterwards. Oh man, she sure looked concerned, didn't she? Afterwards, she was ready to go again, but you wouldn't have thought that after seeing her expression. :)
It's definitely not. The reality is that the sailing part is only 5-10%, if that! It's an important 5-10%, but there's sooooo much more to see and do than just sail. We'd really appreciate it if you could share the video :) Whaddaya say?
The look on your daughters face was priceless!
Oh man. It sure was!
Molly may have only enjoyed it AFTER it was over. What a trooper. I bet she'll brag about it for years to come. Great video!
Exactly! :)

She does trust me, for sure! I've not done anything to jeopardize that trust yet, so I was a bit concerned about crashing with her. We did it though!
That looked like a lot of fun! Molly looked very concerned but the look when it was over was a priceless, Yes! I did it!
Yep! That's life, right?
New experiences seem so scary at first, but afterwards were like - "let go again"!
Molly was so brave, she was scared, but she did it. Such a little trooper lol.
She did good!
Ten thumbs up for Molly 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh yeah - dinghy boarder Molly.
WoW 4:09 Just WoW. Thank You 4 Sharing!!!
I love the look on Molly's face! She did it. Good for her!!
Molly was looking intense
I suppose from her level, that 10mph must have felt more like 50mph. :)
Molly's facial expression showed she was at high alert for any more sign of increased danger.....all the while staying cool.....loved it!
The funny part is that I had no idea she was scared until we looked at the footage.
Looked like great fun, good to see Molly take the road to adventure despite her pensive look with Dad driving the board!
It was a highlight, for sure. Yep, she can be pretty brave at times. She trusts me. So far, I haven't done anything to ruin that trust - like crashing a high-speed dinghyboard with her on it. :)
Molly was so brave!!!! Way to go kiddo!!!!!!!
Great times and Molly knows no fear.🤙🤙🤙
Thanks!
I'd like to add to that -
She knows the fear, but she moves forward anyways.
THAT'S my girl. :)

Thanks John - I appreciate the supportive feedback. This was a fun project for sure, and we're glad to hear that enjoyed it. :)
I think this is the best story telling you've done! your production skills have really gotten good. Thanks for sharing!
Good to hear. It's all about the story - which can be tricky to tell without words. :)
Bravo Molly, you rock young lady. Thanks Ben for sharing. Best from Hong Kong 🇭🇰
She did great!
So cool, beautiful water
Lol. Molly looked a little freaked out.
She was wondering what are signed up for, that's for sure. She's been bragging about that day ever since.
Great family it really shows xx
It is really great to see y'all having so much fun. I hope the fun never stops for y'all. Guess I am just one of those guys that will always wish I had and what if.
You're whatever you want to be!
We hope you find the right boat.

Your boat is out there, but it's more than just a matter of patience: you've got to find her.
Hope that helps bud. I'm rooting for you.
Looked like great fun but I don't think Molly was that impressed. Great video as always, see you in the next one. Cheers for now... ;-}
That looks like so much fun.
A towed Surfboard is not your Daughter's comfort Zone. That look of growing fear, funny funny stuff.
She definitely was outside of her comfort zone. She did enjoy it about 1000x more than her expression would suggest.
Ben, thank you again for another great video and for the answer about putting the dinghy on the davits. I'll bet Molly has another memory that will last her a lifetime and hoping Tambi is back on her sea legs soon. Your videos really give us inspiration while trying to wash bottom paint and epoxy out of our hair.
You're welcome! A suggestion - If you adopt a hair style like mine (buzz cut) boat paint and epoxy in the hair become a non-issue.
Omg. Molly looked like she was thinking "this is fun? Dad is crazy!"
Then when it was over, she was ready to go again!
another great video!
It looked like lots of fun!
A definite highlight!
Great video Ben! You guys are the best.
Thanks Gary. :)
Molly looked terrified! LOL
She was especially concerned at one point where we were both picking up speed, and carving out away from the dinghy. An unusual sensation for her first ever experience on a board.
good training for the lass!
Definitely. Love seeing her push herself a little and get uncomfortable - voluntarily.
Great vid. I finally have a use for my old surfboard!
It's so much fun!
Another cool video.....
As most others have commented, you are GREAT parents!!!
I can't tell if Molly enjoyed that or not.....intense look, intense look, intense look.....petrified look.....
very cool!!! hope to try this some day :)
i bet you all had great times
Just loved it. An awesome day in an awesome place. It was rad.
Obviously Tambi wasn't in to this sport, but good for Molly trying it with Dad! The expressions on her face were priceless, from frightened to absolutely freaked. The lady in the blue suit was very well endowed and that helped with her flotation for sure!
Tambi would have loved to, but she wasn't feeling well that day. We used to wakeboard a lot - I'm pretty sure she would have gotten up on her first try. Bummer that she didn't have a part though.
super awesome.. was Molly afraid?
There at the end we were going faster and carving a bit so yep - she was scared. Once we were done she was ready to go again. :)
Looks like fun and our little's face when she was on the board with you was just priceless!!! BUT where was your better half did she just set this one out???
Yeah... she wasn't feeling very good that day, otherwise she would have been hangin' 10.
Molly is going solo next time :)
For sure! It'll be rad.
I like the vids I just wish they were longer.
This was just one of the bonus videos. It's not in the normal chronological sequence - it's not numbered in other words.
The crazy part is that this 4 minute clip took over 17 hours to edit! A very intensive project, but it sure did turn out good!
holy shit!!!
Indeed. This was a serious project. The more "artsy" it gets, the longer it takes. Big time.
"Trust" is not the word I would use to define the expression on Molly's face.
(but then that's what Dads are for!!!)
Yeah, that's right! At the time, she was more like -
"I've made a very poor decision letting the big kids talk me into this".
Molly looked scared!
That was good stuff! What size motor did that dinghy have on it?
I believe that was the Yamaha 15hp 2 stroke. A very common motor amongst cruisers... I want one.
Sailboat Story I looked the Yamaha up its 81lbs. My new 4 stoke mercury 9.9 is I think 89lbs. That's a good savings but they don't make the 2 stroke anymore 🙁
And sorry I just read the description and saw the HP was listed my bad
Oh they make em - but they can't be sold in the states. Many folks buy their 2 strokes in Nassau. Our 4hp 4 stroke is amazing on fuel, but I'd really like more power to get to the more remote reefs for spearfishing.

Katina looks like she could be (Sailing Nandji) Bonita’s sister!
So what did Molly think of her ride? She looked a little scared during the ride but seemed cool after.
We were cracking up when we reviewed the footage afterwards.
Oh man, she sure looked concerned, didn't she?
Afterwards, she was ready to go again, but you wouldn't have thought that after seeing her expression. :)
Molly going to be looking for a little pay back some day.
Hey now - she volunteered!
what not first again, its not all sailing , you need to do other thing which you do.
It's definitely not. The reality is that the sailing part is only 5-10%, if that! It's an important 5-10%, but there's sooooo much more to see and do than just sail.
We'd really appreciate it if you could share the video :)
Whaddaya say?
ok see what I can do, I know when I post my next vlog up I will add this one in some how.
Ahh - Sweet! Thanks Cap'n Chef.
