Wowzers, my son was yelling "Go Willa,Go..Mom Willa caught a big one..yayy Willa!" He did the fish dance.. lol... We loved watching the bait ball with the 360 camera . That was amazing then to see all the baseball boiling on the surface was so cool and all the other fish that Will was feeding amazing.... I'll be at the Boat Show can't wait . Looking for a vessel.... We are excited for your trip coming up.. oh I love the new heavier sail... Gonna be Great.... Thanks for sharing your lives with us... Fare winds and following sea's ✌🏼💗😊❣️
Stay safe and stay positive! So happy you guys were able to get everything fixed and get back to cruising! Keep up the hard work and awesome content! By far my favorite channel on the tube!
Oklahoma Gal here again!! Oh my goodness I would give Anything to see the blue waters!! On my bucket list!! I absolutely love watching your precious family!! Oh my goodness the fish under your boat!! Your videoing is awesome!! Thank You again for sharing your precious family and keep doing what makes your hearts smile!! Prayers and blessings to You All!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Willa is mesmerized by the fire starter. I highly recommend that you hide it when it’s not being used. Safe passage . Great video. I love the fishing element.
Thanks for all the great years.. I really look forward to seeing you guys every week .. I watch reruns of you as well. Can't get enough... Your the best. The smartest. And most equal couple. Thank you....
Long time subscriber. Good on you both for taking on this adventure now. My kids are your age so, people my age tend to reflect on "woulda shoulda coulda". No regrets here but don't ever second guess your choice to do this now! Sail on! And OH Canada 🇨🇦!!
Thank you for the #inspiration! I hope some day to live a similar life style. I watch your videos every week. Thank you for helping me believe anything is possible.💜🙏
Hi from Texas, Ben and Ashley! Amazing video again...I can't wait to catch up with yall every week!! The baitball....OMG...I watched it over and over until hubby teased me!! LOL!! AMAZING!! I've grown up on the Texas coast and have NEVER seen that!! Ashley, I've JUST started using my bread machine again and it looks to be the same brand as yours. Love it. Without fail this white bread recipe rocks on a 2 lb/med crust setting: 2 lb loaf - put ingredients in in the order presented: 1 1/2 Cups warm water 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil (optional), but I use 2 T real butter 4 Cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast Good luck and safe travels with your beautiful littles!! Hubby and I will be full time cruisers in about 6 months...maybe one day our paths will cross!
You guys Rock !! Love the show . My wife and I are in similar roads as your first decision to sell everything and go. We’re thinking about buying land in Costa Rica and building a place down there and travel around to Central America . Now after watching your show we love the idea of just having your house on the water and traveling the world. We are definitely game to that as well. Love the content keep the videos coming . Think your rocking Africa now . Very inspirational!! Love it !! Safe travels and happy sailing!!
This is my current bread machine recipe. It does not have dairy. It is called, Best Bread Machine Bread, from Allrecipes. Thanks for your videos. It is such a nice escape. Ingredients 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) 2 tablespoons white sugar 1 (.25 ounce) package bread machine yeast ¼ cup vegetable oil 3 cups bread flour 1 teaspoon salt Directions Place the water, sugar and yeast in the pan of the bread machine. Let the yeast dissolve and foam for 10 minutes. Add the oil, flour and salt to the yeast. Select Basic or White Bread setting, and press Start.
A "painter" is for when a crew member is hanging on a sling over the side of the boat painting the hull there is a line left hanging in the water trailing behind in case the painter falls in.
... Well! ...that bait ball sure was something .... have seen the frenzy of gulls diving which gave the sign that bait could be had and possibly a larger fish also when fishing with my dad when I was preschool age off of Sooke Basin.. I was already baiting hooks and using adult rods and one of the guests at my parents motel gave me a small plastic rod smaller than what Willa was using .. thx for the trip down memory lane .... good job Ben on landing Willa's catch ... good haul also with the Yellow Fin, good size one too ... they sure are not shy about charging to moore in the parks thx for the share Ben & Ashley .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe save our oceans ....
😊❤️Great video. I love all your videos even the real ones that show all your emotions. 😢😂😡🫣🤪😊 This video shows your joy at being back out on the water. 🌊We, the viewers, always have lots of opinions sitting here on our sofas. Like when your son was crawling fast towards the front, my first thought was I can’t believe they’re letting him do that. But, then, I could hear in Ben’s voice as he was talking that he was walk/running towards him. We all know our own kids and our own limitations so while it’s hard not to be armchair critics with the best of intentions, I for one, trust that you guys have got this! You are living your best lives and showing your kids a world most people will never get to experience. So, on that note, continue to enjoy the experience, be safe and listen to your gut! Happy sailing and smooth winds. ⛵️
That was AMAZING! Awesome! Yes, I really can appreciate that next passage... I think that sailing south down the coast of Western Australia in spring with large, steep swells upwind, with 25 to 30 knots (despite trying to pick 15 knot weather window) has prepared us well for future sails! We waited 3 weeks for our perfect weather window, but it was not ideal. But we made it and you will as well! Wishing you gentle constant winds and small, long period swells!
What a pleasure to watch your show with your wonderful family . Hands down the best sailing vid on line. Thanks for the respectful filming of each other and the kids as your lives blossoms and blooms.
Hello guys, thank you for this video. So Ben, the main painter on Nahoa is obviously you, the guy with the paint brush. However and with that being said, a marine painter is used to connect the bow of your towed dingy or life boat to your Mother ship ( that's where the Mothers normally are with the little ones, in your case that would be your beautiful Wife Ash and children Willa and Bodhi). A painter on a canoe can also be used to guide your boat or canoe upstream through troubled waters. (Please consider consulting Paul Simon as he has written lovely songs about this sort of thing). BTW, the kids are beautiful and growing fast! Cheers from Nanaimo.
Thank you from Fiji Islands 🇫🇯 . Just saw your channel this morning and subscribe... Great content...definitely alot of work and effort put into it....Wow..and amazing camera shots 👍. Wow...wow..wow...Bless your family..Bless your Leadership...bless your journey...Bless your sailing with good health..safe passage...and enjoyable sail. Vinaka 🙏
There’s no knead bread recipes on Pinterest if you have a Dutch oven. I’ve made it. Cook less time in an RV or sailboat. No idea of your set up but thought I’d share.
That bait ball was really interesting to watch, especially the first clip as it moved from the tender to the cat. Good job on the tuna, you gaffed that with some authority. lol
Awesome, it looks like you guys are ready to roll. It must be hard to leave such a beautiful place in the Seychelles! All those fish, wow. Wishing you a safe passage and good winds, love you guys!
Clear into Vilankulos and go to Santa Carolina for some beautiful beaches and snorkeling or contact Bazaruto…some of the most beautiful places and fishing
Thanks again guys, great video of the life in that part of the world, beautiful beaches for sure. Be safe and looking forward to some offshore sailing vids!
Have to agree with Ben regarding termanology and how crazy some people are about enforcing the "correct" terms. Absolutely understand need for clear communication between people, especially who aren't familiar with each other or their common gear in use. But, some people take it way too far. A couple could get a boat and sail around the globe ten times calling the whatsit a thingamajigi and it wouldn't make them less of a old salty sailor. Love to the family and so happy to see things going smoother.
Great video guys! Ash, you look amazing! I can't believe you have two kids, wow!! Hope all goes well on your next passage. Looking forward to the next episode already 🤗
Have a safe passage you 4. Those depressions that roll around the bottom of South Africa are the same ones that make the passage to New Zealand entertaining.
Lovely. I am saving up and getting things in order so I to can travel the world at the speed of smell and videos like this make it so much easier to make sacrifices while in the process.
In English English we do call ropes ropes... yes a sheet is a sheet and a painter is a painter but we don't have that weird pedantic affectation that a random bit of rope on a boat is somehow not a random bit of rope. I need some rope I say 'pass me the rope'. Painter is from Latin via French and means to suspend/tie etc.
Lol, I love it when other channels call it "provisioning" you're not sailing on the Mayflower from one part of the world to another land with no stops on the way. I mean you can stop at a lot of places for food on the way. Heck people drive to you for trading even.
Ashley, Ben, I love to look up the islands you visit and see the internet has about them. HOW does one spell the island you are anchored at in this video??? I tried to sound it out, but I Failed. THANK YOU for sharing everything you do!!!!
You guys should really consider taking at least one crew with you when you head south. With having those babies, if one person becomes ill, it will be so hard for the other to take care of sailing and kids and sickie.
Great video specially the fish swarm! You have great children ! LORD Jesus Christ bless you and protect you !
Wowzers, my son was yelling "Go Willa,Go..Mom Willa caught a big one..yayy Willa!" He did the fish dance.. lol... We loved watching the bait ball with the 360 camera .

Epic video Nahoa! Loved seeing the bait ball under your boat. So happy to see you all out and enjoying cruiser life again. Safe passage, and enjoy!
Stay safe and stay positive! So happy you guys were able to get everything fixed and get back to cruising! Keep up the hard work and awesome content! By far my favorite channel on the tube!
I'm so happy to see all the fixing has been accomplished. Ben you're the man! Bodhi seems to be following in his father's footsteps.
Oklahoma Gal here again!! Oh my goodness I would give Anything to see the blue waters!! On my bucket list!! I absolutely love watching your precious family!! Oh my goodness the fish under your boat!! Your videoing is awesome!! Thank You again for sharing your precious family and keep doing what makes your hearts smile!! Prayers and blessings to You All!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank God for Ashley!, she keeps you working all the time so you don’t goof off!!
Your underwater shots are amazing. You can do that professionally. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Blessings to you and yours.
Halyards left, sheets tension and control, lines secure. Yes they are all ropes.
Willa is mesmerized by the fire starter. I highly recommend that you hide it when it’s not being used.
Safe passage . Great video. I love the fishing element.
Thanks for all the great years.. I really look forward to seeing you guys every week .. I watch reruns of you as well. Can't get enough... Your the best. The smartest. And most equal couple. Thank you....
Incredible footage. Beautiful! Here's to a safe passage for you *raises glass*
Wow, the baitball footage is incredible! Thank you for sharing!
Praying for you guys....happy sailing....blessings
You are my favorite sailing channel.

Amazing footage of the fish! I love it
Wowza!! On the bait ball footage!! #great video #fantastic footage!!
Love that you made bread sailing! Love all the nature shots! Stay safe and happy sails!

Yeah park fees are ridiculous in the Seychelles. And yup we caught a load of Yellow fin tuna there as well
Happy Thanksgiving from Canada!
Great video!

Always a good day when a Nahoa vid comes up. Stay well and stay safe.
Great video guys. You all seem happy. The bait ball was soooo cool.
Crazy school of fish! Really awesome!
Quality fishing Ben..
Hoping things are running smoother now..
That bait ball was really interesting to watch, especially the first clip as it moved from the tender to the cat. Good job on the tuna, you gaffed that with some authority. lol
Great video as always!
By giving "rope" specific names it illiminates confusion when relaying a particular piece or length.
Thankyou and good luck 👍
enjoying the honesty of the last 5-6 videos, gives us future neighbours a feel for the truth
Awesome, it looks like you guys are ready to roll. It must be hard to leave such a beautiful place in the Seychelles! All those fish, wow. Wishing you a safe passage and good winds, love you guys!
Really beautiful
Ooohhhhh nice ending you two ! 👌
