As perverse and absurd as it may seem, this is why we sail. Moments like these light our fire. Living with Nature. Feeling her raw power. Being reminded how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things.
What are your folks thinking for education? Homeschooling preschool or some online program? Also from port to port how much can you get by on speaking English?
Currently I do the 9-5 for a living. You guys live for a living. Those adventures will be fantastic memories and stories to tell your children. And, it’s all documented. Live your best life!
Pretty real, good episode and thoughts. Regarding saving prefilters, they can be washed for a number of times. Also with a modicum investment in pvc pipe fittings and hose you can attach the fittings to the awning and collect good water in those torrential squalls. Old school way. Be well!
They are living a great life sailing around the world, with there beautiful baby, when she grows up she can show people what she was doing during the pandemic, Ben it amazes me what you knows about boat parts and how you can fix them. Have you got any idea how long you will be sailing around the world.
@@BKKNOW1 they are in Canada again right now, they are having their 2nd baby!!! They'll be back at it after the baby comes. They also will get to take the northern passage around Africa, boat repairs this year caused them to miss the window. Super excited for them!!!!!
Wow. Waking up to a little bit of a drizzly day in Toronto just on my first coffee does not even begin to compare with the level of adventure that you three are experiencing on Sailing Nahoa. Thanks for taking us along virtually.
You can rinse the prefilters...put them on a rope. Run the rope through the middle of the filter, and tow behind the boat under way...then haul them in...rinse them off with fresh water, and re-install....this is good for several times....this make your filters last longer
I just use the salt water washdown pump and with a bit of pressure clean them that way. I usually can recycle them 3 times and lasts around 4 months or 100 hours. But where you are anchored now. There is way too much sediment. On my cat, when I can see the props quite clearly, then good to make water.
We were in the Bahamas going between Cays when a vicious squall hit us. My wife said the same thing. "Why don't we just drop the anchor?" I would never have thought of that. Great to have a soulmate aboard.
I've watched a few "sailing around the world" video series lately and I have to say your channel seems the most real and relatable. Keep it up , from Ontario Canada
Thanks guys. Been there done that! Yes people don’t realize that you are not just sitting on deck sipping margaritas. I love the scene when it went from Sixty knots ( there was a bit there when it was probably blowing that hard). To the baby and the dishes! Ha ha. What a contrast. You are doing great!
Its not Perverse or Absurd , its all about the journey man !!! When you accept that !!! all the stuff that happens getting there(the journey) takes on new meaning. So it lights your fire !! That means your feeling it . So if you recognise that, you should not have regrets but rather interperate the experience as something achieved/gained etc etc. Thanks for the vids :)
I LOVE you guys, been watching you for awhile, you make me laugh, I love how real you are, thanks for sharing your life, making recordings is HARD, bless you for doing it. Love the beautiful addition of your daughter
@@georgemoore2859 I like the way Ben explained it. I can easily handle course adjustments and preventive maintenance. I sometimes forget that all big projects are made up of many small jobs.
KEEP sailing! And keep showing that sweet little girl! With your "adventures" somewhat curtailed, she is one of the reasons that I keep watching your channel. The prawns! WONDERbar! You surely know the "spot prawns" of the Pacific Coast in N. America. They can get up to 25 cms and I have had many of that size. Ben. YOUR voice is so melodic. You could get a job as a voice actor easily. Your timbre and cadence is so soothing. Besides being a very handsome guy, you are very handy and also very calm and collected... MOST of the time! I've enjoyed all of your videos, even this rather dreary one. Stay well and stay safe!
I can't get past the beautiful little girl crawling around on a blue water catamaran ... I love you guys, your adventurous spirit and endless enthusiasm to see what is over the horizon, but I can't watch you putting that baby at risk anymore. I wish you all the best. Please be safe and give your beautiful daughter a hug for me.
Love how you talked about making the best of any situation, be positive, life is a journey with so many ups and downs. So look forward to my Sunday videos, the Thai people are so nice, can't wait to get back. Greetings from White Rock
Really enjoyable video because it's so honest! Nasty blow but all dealt with, need for mouth to smut on a drowned rabbit and some bartering for the freshest of fresh prawns. All great. Somebody has already recommended catching the water to save your filters which is a great idea. One to keep water out of the boat is a couple of other bloggers have mentioned how having your surf/paddleboards attached to your stanchions results in the foot of the stanchion flexing because they really aren't designed for those loads (esp in winds you just saw). Result is water leaks down the tie-down bolts are likely to occur and this is more like if the deck caulking is old and tired. Might be worth stowing elsewhere if you can or monitoring those stanchions you might be affected. Hope you get South soon to gentler conditions.
Ok so I just got off my job at the factory working on an assembly line, working as fast as we can. After watching this I can't wait for my shift to start tomorrow AND we get to work Saturday, the 37th in a row!- said no one ever!
The baby is so absolutely Pretty! I love looking at her! She was really enjoying those dishes. My 1 yr old granddaughter spent an hour and 1/2 playing in a cardboard box today! Forget toys!
A pre-prefilter for the water maker or sail out to clearer water and make water .. mangroves actually filter sediment but the local lack of Ag development controls - such as run off especially in the rainy season for that area is just hard to avoid .. keep the videos coming.. enjoy watching them from the US ..
i hope you show us the behind the scenes like the wind blowing the boat over the anchor, these small things i would like to know, as im going to be living the dream, soon, after spending months and months doing up a yacht, only too find, its easier to just buy one thats is workable, but i look at the experience it has taken me on, nothing to waste.. everything to gain, there is always something to do on any boat,
Wow thank you so much for saying what you said at the very end about making adjustments...all of the things you named are goals in my life, sadly even the addiction part but we all have our vises. Anyway, I really needed to hear what you said so thank you, genuinely!
We lived on our boat in Phuket for over twelve miles months and I recognise the area that you are in. We always washed our water maker filters in water using a hose or we would some times hose them down and leave them in a bucket of water with bleach for half an hour, some people toe them behind the boat If you have a 50,20 and 5 micron filter it makes sense We would do this several times with no ill effect on the water maker
Collect the rain water. We lived off rainwater for 8 months of the year on Vancouver Island for 4 years. "No shortage of fresh water, just a shortage of collecting it." You guys are great!! Love the video. Awesome attitudes!!
As the wind an rain whipped Mummy an Daddy outside... Sweet lil Willa was lookin thru The dishes for anything to help! I so love that lil sweet girly an your just brilliant fun ppl... Thanks for showing what it's seriously like out there... ✌🏻💗☺️❣️
Such stunning scenery. I enjoy this a lot. Reminds me of my trips where I take the good music like the Guns N Roses, Imagine Draongs or the Delta Parole and then enjoy the powerful feeling of the sea. ¡vamos!
Octopus is the best of all!! I really liked the background scenery when showing us the watermaker. Filters can be cleaned. They lose effectiveness if you spray outside. Always reverse flow to flush ammonia to clean evaporates completely.
You can reuse your water maker filters a few times, by tying them on to the back of the boat, and dragging them in the sea as you go along for half an hour or so. Hose off with water maker water. Each re-use will last less time, but if you are short of filters or they get clogged quickly this is a way of making them last.
Hello sailors ! SW monsoon is tough here in Phuket area, take extra care here. Two Charter Lagoon cats were sunk here when prop hit a rock. Crash caused engine room to flood, a bulkhead factory design defect allowed main cabin to also flood and sink the boats. Check with Lagoon experts on this. Love your videos. Sail on ! 😀
monsoon starts around march here.. theres a typhoon from the Philippines heading west. crossing malaysia and thailand.. one day the wind blowing north...the next day its blowing south.. im 500km south from u guys. stay safe
Way to go team.... These are the real situations that Mariners face. It is about the adventure. I follow another family catamaran sailing channel. I wonder how they would handle what you went through.
I miss seeing these day to day videos of the life out there!! I want to see the boat work the wind the visitors and the excursions.. excited for new adventures ahead! I have a dream of setting foot on a catamarn one day but for what it costs to stay on one around Victoria or Sidney where you started I may as well do a down payment lol..Cheers from the Okanagan BC P.S thankyou so much for your ending message it hits home for me.
BOAT PROJETS (10:22)? Being a landlubbing Canadian I have to assume that makes it go faster. Hahaha Stay safe and install some netting to keep the poor bunny from falling overboard again!
Hi, 500 Bath for your prawn was good price. I am Canadian and live in Thailand, price at the market is between 200 to 250 bath / kilo. Enjoy them and the warm weather.
Ben your favorite movie _Six Days Seven Nights_ ... Harrison Ford loved the plane in the movie so much, he went out an bought one. It was an ex-CIA plane with patched bullet holes. The *DHC-2 Beaver* was named one of the top ten Canadian Engineering Achievements of the 20th Century by the Canadian Engineering Centennial Board
Good day to have twin screws. Hard to keep a cat bow in with just one. Thanks for reminding me of the tense times I’ve missed since Hurricane Sally took my boat. Those are good times too. Kind of like the thrill of a roller coaster or a scary movie... but with consequences! Stay safe, keep filming, suck the marrow out of life!
I for one can't stand the "naked girl on boat" instagram influencer nonsense you see elsewhere, and behind the scenes is why I'm here and learning about things I might not have considered in my boat buying process is super valuable.

You are so Canadian! I'm so proud of the way you supported the local people. Keep up the great videos. You guys are doing
what I wish I could do.
Pressed the thumbs up👍but the number didn't change.
Even though they were expensive, I would call it a donation to the locals for hanging out in their area.
Way to stay calm, a quality and skill that not only makes great sailors but also great parents. Willa is one lucky adorable girl!

everyone should have Bens positive attitude in life !
Save your pre-filters and collect rain water, also the rain water might help with cleaning the pre-filters so you can reuse them.
Good idea.
They said they are in murky water so that doesnt help. The cleaner the water the less stress on the filters.
I'm so happy that u guys are on bord again. I love the sea and i love the wind in the sails. Stay save and give the Baby a hug
It is so good to see y'all back out on the water. It's so inspirational to watch you live your dream!

Always keep safe and enjoy the struggles and fun things while sailing and hello baby!
Go Nahoa😀
Ash “I almost died on toys”.......me avoiding legos like land mines lol
My toddler cut the roof of his mouth on those screw in peg toys. 16 stiches. The ambulance driver said, why did you call us? Lord, i was mad.
Keep having fun even when it’s not fun. Love the raw realness of ur channel
I really love seeing "behind the scenes"! What makes your videos fun to watch is that I am watching you live your dream! Reality can't always be up.
I LOVE you guys, been watching you for awhile, you make me laugh, I love how real you are, thanks for sharing your life, making recordings is HARD, bless you for doing it. Love the beautiful addition of your daughter
Ben Thanks for your honesty and Inspiration !!
So many awesome and adorable moments in this video. Thank you for the motivational talk at the end. It helped me make better choices.
The talk at the end was true and needed by many of us.
@@georgemoore2859 I like the way Ben explained it. I can easily handle course adjustments and preventive maintenance. I sometimes forget that all big projects are made up of many small jobs.
Oh! I love the shot of Ben saying "Yeah, looks like a racing yacht, just trying to keep the baby from falling overboard." XD
My wife and I are so glad to see the smiles again. Love the videos and thank you😁
12:40: Ben's Deep Thoughts!
Good on ya mate! Be safe out there.
Cheers!!!

That wind and rain was brutal.....You are Super Duper Troopers!!
Wet and wild video guys. Love the way the little gal just keeps playing..so sweet . Take care, hope the weather gets better for you, be safe. 😎🐈👍
Spectacular footage! Congratulations on getting through!
Absolutely right supporting the community. If you need help, they will remember. Nice fishermen.

Loved seeing Willa happily playing with the dishes while all the chaos was going on!
Loved your closing comments! A good reminder for all of us.
Agreed!
Great work again
We’re stuck in our boat with seven days of heavy tropical rain too at the moment seems a lot of weather about
Not everyday is clear blue skies and pristine water. Thanks for sharing a bit of the challenges.
Ok so I just got off my job at the factory working on an assembly line, working as fast as we can. After watching this I can't wait for my shift to start tomorrow AND we get to work Saturday, the 37th in a row!- said no one ever!
Those Prawns look amazing! I bet you enjoyed them!! Great Video. Thanks
I love the honesty. It’s relatable to us all viewing. None of us our insta-perfect and that is absolutely just fine.

A wee bit of wind , but a rather clam sea , freaking awesome ;)
very humbling speech at the end there Ben, well done :)
When I see videos like this you have my utmost admiration!
Your welcome Ben and Ashley (and Willow) always great to see you, weather or no! 🦋👍🦋
That shrimp, price 320-360 baht per kg.The price is high according to the body size.
I’m your fan from Thailand.
Stay safe guys.. take good care of the baby 👍
Love what you said at the end of video Ben. So true..
Long time follower - Loving the channel more and more. Very real and much appreciated. Be safe :)

Would love to see more of Phuket. I was there before the Tsunami. Always wonder what changes were made. Love following along

We had Surigae pass thru here in Palau week before last...we just watched our little boat being slammed but it survived. Enjoy watching
Great to see that Willa had at least 3 JellyCat bunny’s. I’ve bought one for each of my 4 daughters and at age 9, they still love them.
Thanks for sharing your life real struggles and totally appreciate it and love it😍😍😍😍
Very nice to see you guys back in my recommend page
