I felt bad hearing Ashley say there was a lot of negative comments regarding her. I'd say negative comments reflect the commentor, not the target of their meanness. You are a good looker Ashley, and I am not too comfortable to say such a thing about another guy's wife, hope not to offend Ben.
Ben and Ashley are so lucky to have each other. People get jealous and envy and project their perceived flaws onto others especially when they see people so loving and happy because they don’t have this. Ben and Ashley are an inspiration to many including myself and I hope Ashley sees and realizes how many people she inspires with her attitude and outlook and blocks out the toxic people trying to drag her down to their level. That will always be a part of TH-cam. Maybe they sense she is empathetic and vulnerable and see they can get to her like this especially when she shows it affects her with is part of her personality of being real and open. We are here for you guys. Like the other guy said F… the haters.
Yes I have not hear it yet is there life don't go talking bad about sombody,s life I understand there are really bad parents only there are good parents and have beutiful life greeding from the nederlands 😘

Love, love your channel and a look at boat life with a family. Ashley, you are such a lovely, beautiful woman who has such a wonderful life with Ben and your babies. Please post more.
Ashley you are a beautiful woman and a great mom. It’s amazing how you can raise two small kids on a boat. I will keep following you and learning from you. I say when the time is right a bigger boat would be lovely. Willa is getting better at having full sentences that’s awesome. Have a safe trip
I just stopped the video to say, Ashley, you are amazing. You are strong, inspiring, beautiful and a fabulous mom. I've thought it many times and regret not having said it out loud.
I can’t imagine anyone saying anything negative about you guys! ESP towards Ashley. She is so caring, Down to earth , and a sweetheart! My only complaint is I wish the videos were longer! Love watching your channel!! Xoxo
I don't know how you could get negative comments... I've seen nothing but intelligence, compassion, natural beauty, and an attentive mother and a supportive wife. I admire your free spirit and ambition. I subscribed only a couple of days ago, and I did so because you are knowledgeable and have a huge heart.
I and my patron wife have seen so many positive things presented by the both of you that we can only watch and contribute to your channel. as we are a 2 skipper - offshore sailing couple on the holidays.
In hiking we say “Hike your own Hike” which basically means do your own thing, don’t try to hike at someone else’s pace or worry about what they’re doing, or what equipment they’ve. I think the same can be said about sailing. Sail your own Sail. You guys are such a wonderful family. Ashley is an amazing mother and very capable sailor. I love following your adventures. Thank you so much for sharing. Safe Travels. Peace ☮️
Totally agree, my partner and I did a circumnavigation 30+ yrs ago. We sailed for yrs off the usual yachting milk run and without other boats. Sure, we met up with other boats and friends at various destinations but didn’t do passages etc together. Big shout out of positivity to Ashley! Amazing in all ways, and just wow! Parenting on a boat is hard!! You do it with such grace, you’re relaxed, loving, all things wonderful…. And Ben too! Love watching your videos, brings back many memories from long ago❤️Surrounding your beautiful family in love, joy, and safety always❤️
Happy to see you just hanin' with the kids and answering questions. Nice laid back video. Thrilled to hear you're heading back to Nahoa soon but good to hear you've recharged with family etc. I love your chanel and can't believe anyone would say something negative about Ashley! She's so authentic, real, funny and beautiful. You two are a great couple with an awesome family 🤗💞
Keep up the hard work and awesome content guys! I love following along on your adventures regardless of where you are! Good luck with the bulkhead repair, I have complete faith in Ben's repair skills and I'm sure when the repair is compete it will be stronger than ever! I'm glad you guys took a few weeks off and went home. You both look so happy, rejuvenated and ready to continue this lap! Love the new hair Ashley! Can't wait for an update next week, stay safe and healthy and as always thanks for bringing us along!
What a lovely episode. 😄Chillin with the kids. I so look forward to your stories. Happy to wait for whatever happens. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. We are blessed that you are willing to be so vulnerable. 🙌😘
In a case which is as incredible as your family happens to be, perhaps the old adage, "Whole hog or none," truly applies. The most fantastic thing about the Nahoa Family is that you have made a commitment and you do your level best to keep your goals in sight. As always, a wonderful video and great good luck to you!
Love, love your channel! Ashley, I’m not sure why someone would send negative comments your way. You’re always so upbeat and beautiful the way you are!
My heart sank when you said you get negative comments Ashley, and yet you come on camera smiling and showing your rezileant side inspite of it. Power to you mama :)
Thanks for sharing your responses, your children are beautiful and thriving. Hopefully you will be able to get the repairs done in a timely fashion so that you can get to South Africa for permanent repairs. I love a mono-hull , but with kids a catamaran is certainly more comfortable and spacious. You both look wonderful and I am happy that you were able to relax and reset. Prayers for your safe travels 🙏💕💕💕⛵️⛵️
I loved you guys as a sailing couple and I'm loving even more watching you as parents. Being a parent is the most rewarding part of my life. I wish I could have raised my kids on a cruising boat, but I didn't begin that life in time. My youngest has 2 more years of school and ill be out there too. Hopefully they will want to come visit dad in the tropics. 🥰
I've been meaning to say this a few videos back. I look at Ashley and I look at Willa & Bodhi and then I look back at Ashley and I'm like, as Ben says, "Ashley popped out two gorgeous beautiful kids....she's a pro, man....she looks like nothing has happened but she's a GIANT. Well done Ashley. Not every lady out there can do everything I've seen you do in these videos since I've been watching. So rock on girl. And yes Ben....you're the MAN! You're the DUDE! My respects to you both! Much love!
You 4 are truly special. You take your ups and downs with such grace. I’m sure there is some screaming off camera but you always seem to triumph. Your candor is always so refreshing. Keep doing what you do. It inspires us to be better.
You have blossomed, and it is lovely to see. A year or so ago, I felt that you were feeling the pressure of having to put out videos despite the natural tensions of the life you have chosen. You are much more relaxed and serene now. Maybe your lives were missing a Bodhi. BTW, great name, my grandson is also a 'Bodhi' . Sending love and light, if I had money, I'd send that too xx
Honestly if u have negative comments, u and ur life must be perfect and we all know that's BS, ask yourself would u like to receive negative comments NO u wouldn't. So think before u open ur mouth, saying nasty things to people can an does have a profound impact which leads to extreme emotions. It's so easy to be nice, so smile and forward it on. Ash Ben kids as I've said many times over the yrs, u take what u want from people's advice, and throw the rest away. Don't hang onto it because really those people don't know u at all, and their not worth knowing, I love u all and can't wait for the new bigger boat. Thanks for sharing 🤗💖🇦🇺🇨🇦🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Always look forward to watching ur vids. I get to live my days on the water through you guys as I'm unavailable to own a boat in this point in time. Keep up the good work guys. Great looking family
Happy to hear you're still going to be sailing Nahoa , and sad at the same time but understanding that you all will need a bigger ship. May the Lord continue to bless your journey in Jesus name Amen...
The expenses are about the same for RVers who live Full Time. We live full-time as RVers in the US and we have followed you for a few years now. We are amazed by you both, and the amazing life that you are living. As for negative Nancys and Noodle heads, they really need to zip it. You are a blessing to us and to all those who follow you. Glad the boat will be ok so you can get where you are going and we Hope Willa's allergy appt had great news and news that you can live with too!
Nice vid guys!! Thanks for always being transparent with everything. I'd love to hear you fix the boat, sell it. and get another - but that's just my view as always. Enjoy the off time and hope you guys get back to the boat soon.
Been watching the channel for a long while and love the honesty. Not my lifestyle but helps me deal with setting up my goals. I mean the no out comment is the total reality, you need to get back and fix the boat. Reality. My reality is weekend sailing, your travels keep me inspired to gunkhole around the Pacific Northwest. There is so much to explore. Keep it real.
Great Q&A. We are new 🇨🇦 TH-camrs so hearing that you just need to keep at it is helpful! Looking forward to the update next week! 🤞things with the renovation goes smoothly!
Its a sunday morning pleasure to watch your videos. I really appreciate your decency with the family and no display of body parts. Thank you and God Bless always.
I have just caught up with your videos. Been bringing! So far yours is the most real and enjoyable sailing channel that I have watched. I really injoy the real life joy and problems that happen. Shit happens, "Adapt, Improvise and Overcome". If it has moving parts it will brake at the most inopportune time. I hope you continue sharing your travels and continue posting new videos. Thanks
Been watching you guys for sometime now off and on and always come back. I think I come back due to how genuine you guys really are and how adventurous. On a side note, shopping for my own boat right now to sail away sometime in 2023. Good luck and hope to see you out there one day.
Ashley, you’re a beautiful young lady, a great mother and you are a ray of sunshine. You and Ben, and your lovely kids are my absolute fav’s to follow on TH-cam. Hopefully we’ll run into each other sometime out there in the future, when I finally get sailing west away from Mexico. Cheers.
I've started watching your channel as I got recommended some random video, I guess it was pre-covid. I was fascinated by your trip and casually watched one vid or another. Then covid came - quarantine. Then you got a kid. Then another. some adventures in between. In some way, it's like I was co-experiencing your journey. I totally get the "family" bit you were talking about - I am looking forward to your every updates. I am SO excited of things to come! I actually just came back from a week longboating trip with my GF in croatia. Motorboat though. Maybe you were an inspiration! Would love to see you in kornati one day! Grüße aus München :)
As I said, I watched that other channel go through the process of fixing the bulkheads from start to finish. They were able to find out that the only bulkhead that was actually failing because of water getting to it was the one that you can't get to the other side of. It looked fine on the side that was available, but once they figured out how to access the other side, it had serious problems with water rot. It had water getting to it that you couldn't see without accessing the sealed up compartment. It only took one bulkhead to cause all of the problems you are seeing and hearing. The other bulkheads came apart because of that one rotten bulkhead. I believe it was the front compartment. Also, they weren't impressed at all with the recommendations from the manufacturer. They did a much better repair, strengthening everything way beyond the original specs. I love the way it turned out.
Ashley you seemed surprised when there's a fish on the end of your line. You guys look great. Always love the advice and your experiences. Kids look happy and healthy! Stay safe
I love watching your videos. They really take me away from my own problems. Thank you for sharing your adventurous life with all of us, especially the non patrons. And thank the patrons on our behalf. I always try to like and comment to help your algorithms.
I have seen other people with hull issues fix those and carry on sailing. Glad that you are comitted to staying on the journey. It's ao easy to quit and the fact that you are going to investigate the problem, find a solution to fix it shows that you have internal fortitude. By the way you both are awesome people. Do not give the haters a moments thought. They can't handle what you are accomplishing. Blessings to your beautiful family. ♡
You 2 are living it own your terms the best that you can do. Extraordinarily more admirable then the sheepeople of the world. You're inqusitive, intelligent, kind, caring, funny, humble, thoughtful, and good parents giving your children a roadmap to live their lives on their terms. All of these qualities give you the ability to get back up and roll with the punches. Its so ez to lose sight of goodness in life for so many, but you should know that you 4 bring goodness into mine. Thanks for all you do to share, thanks very much. It's time for a more robust vessel cuz Nahoa is gonna be a little to seasoned after this circumnavigation to accommodate further. Glad all is as well as can be, cheers from the pine tree state.
“THEY DONT PAY YOUR RENT” “Live life don’t let life live you”. You guys are on a great mission. Your videos have helped lots. I am 63yrs old, retired, have a Morgan Out Island 41 Ketch, and for the first time getting her ready for blue water. Do you guys have an equipment, process list anywhere? One area I am trying to figure out is marine SSB being used for data and voice instead of sat and how to get wind weather real time while I am in the middle but don’t have sat. I am pretty good at electronics, mechanical and pretty much everything so if ya ever have a systems question I may be able to give ya advice. (former pilot, USAF, ICBM engineer and ops, SPY satellites, Launch ops.) Thanks again.
Ashley, you and Ben are great. I look forward to your adventures, appreciate your hard work. Ashley you are an amazing woman, such a can do spirit. You, my good woman, are a beautiful lovely person. Come on people, what’s not to like!
Love you guys! Stay positive and shame on the negative people! If they don’t like it then find another channel to watch! We love you no matter what! Followed you through the couple of years sailing then the Coronavirus troubles! Been such a long journey and we are all with you, I’m sure, and we can’t wait for the next adventure! Round the Cape! My god. What an experience that will be! Take care and see you this weekend in your next episode! 😍
You guys are truly alive, so many adventures, you literally always make the best out of everything! Whatever people think or say remember they’re all bored, they live their own fake safety life sitting between 4 walls of mortgage and no inspirations at all, no horizon, no time to watch the stars and having dinners together without having a word to share! You guys are the inspiration this world needs 🙏👍👍 You will sail soon again just relax❤️
Haven’t been following you guys very long but I definitely enjoy the authenticity of you both. To heck with the haters and armchair sailors. You guys are lovely and a breath of fresh air
Thanks for keeping it real. No fluff, just honest living with funny stories. You talk about going home or back to land to juice up the battery's. I was thinking, that's you vacation. Everyone takes vacation to some place to recharge. Sail on , folks.
Appreciate every video and thankful that you are willing to share your life with us all. Ashley, shame to anyone who was a downer. You are beautiful inside and out.
You guys are wonderful. Ashley there is not one negative thing about you. My wife and i have been married 69 years ai have sailed 25 k miles. Keep up the good work.
Im so happy your continuing on with fixing and later ideas of upgrading. Your channel is one of my favorites cuz you show videos of travel not all repairs. thanks again for great content. BTW i was born in Victoria so i feel close to you
You are simply beautiful people, beautiful family, something about your beautiful core beliefs and values that makes all your input here so good to follow and even wait for! And each time with the video uploaded just to be confirmed, that you are still keeping true to yourselves, thank you for this 🙏 ❤️
I appreciate the fact that you are devoted to catamarans yet you video recorded the most of this episode on a monohull LOL 😆 I think that you have a good plan . Make Nahoa safe and then keep on going . You can't risk safety ever ! The ocean is a beast without limits and you should never disrespect it. Take care friends ! Thanks for your updates !
SF to Oahu race I was at the end of my 3-5am watch last hour was driving (toughest watch hour). We had no moon the first few days So I realize my shadow is being cast on the main sail like a giant head light is behind us!!! Crap a big ass ship is spotting us with a spot light!! My crew (only 4 of us on the boat racing) two on deck at night -crew was sleeping. I wake him and ask what we should do about the ship behind us? It was getting closer given the spot light was getting higher off the water!! He looks at me funny and says dude!! Thats the moon!! Stop changing course!! 😆😆😆
you two are the best as well as the children,some may think your life style is crazy,each to his own and finally you talk a lot of sense ,well most of the time,what I'm trying to say is I love your Family and videos ,keep sailing ,good luck and fair winds
Loved all the questions and comments except about Ashley's negative comments. She is beautiful, tough and says it as it is. Ben is a lucky guy and I love the two of you together.
When I found your channel I was very happy to watch some young people from my area going out to sea. The best part is you kids smile and laugh often, People who are always frowning and talking doom and gloom are the unlucky ones.
You created a beautiful family, watching your kids grow will be more exciting to watch than traveling along Africa that is really dangerous, and it stresses us imagining you sailing on that area. It will be more comfortable to watch them daily, and seeing the kids stable, and living in a safe, and wonderful site like Canada. Touring us on a beautiful camper van will also be an amazing thing to watch, with the different sites in Canada is a fascinating thing, and maybe next will be Germany, Swiss alps, just suggesting. Stay safe. God bless
Ashley and Ben- i just want to say you two seem like the most down to earth people. I really enjoy your channel even with the ups and downs. You guys do an awesome job no matter what is breing thrown your way. I like that you dont portray your life to be "instagram perfect" its refreshing to watch. Ashley- eff the people who leave bad comments about you! You are gorgeous, you're a great mom, and you seem to handle the hurdles if life really well. Thank you both for the content you put out, i highly enjoy watching your little family grow. 🍻🖤
Looking at the scenery I'm trying to figure out where you are. Looks a lot like Bamberson/Brentwood bay. area across from Mill Bay. I lived on the island for 8 years. Sure miss it. Glad you are doing well.
ALOHA , Your videos are great !! Your living the dream and doing it as responsible parents now!! The internet unfortunately will always have negative people or trolls living miserable lives and take it out on others, but what’s funny from what I see with many youtube creators I follow, and just starting mine is that those haters & negative people are like #1 fans in the fact they watch every video to talk negative or hate lmao 😂 kinda funny! Keep up the videos!!!! I’m in Hawaii and loved sailing a cal 2-30 then switched to fishing boats. My biggest marlin was 700lbs landed here and yellowfin 175lbs 🤙🏽🤙🏽 ALOHA
Wishing you guys the best - watching you ride the roller coaster of life helps us keep things in perspective in our lives - our home is not separating at the seams but is an expense - same with our motor home that we use to get out there and experience the world. As our health degrades we enjoy what we can and live our best life as things continue to change around us.
I felt bad hearing Ashley say there was a lot of negative comments regarding her. I'd say negative comments reflect the commentor, not the target of their meanness. You are a good looker Ashley, and I am not too comfortable to say such a thing about another guy's wife, hope not to offend Ben.
Fuck them haters!
Ben and Ashley are so lucky to have each other. People get jealous and envy and project their perceived flaws onto others especially when they see people so loving and happy because they don’t have this. Ben and Ashley are an inspiration to many including myself and I hope Ashley sees and realizes how many people she inspires with her attitude and outlook and blocks out the toxic people trying to drag her down to their level. That will always be a part of TH-cam. Maybe they sense she is empathetic and vulnerable and see they can get to her like this especially when she shows it affects her with is part of her personality of being real and open. We are here for you guys. Like the other guy said F… the haters.
Yes I have not hear it yet is there life don't go talking bad about sombody,s life I understand there are really bad parents only there are good parents and have beutiful life greeding from the nederlands 😘
Ashley is a good person. Ben is also. That's all I care about

I THINK ASHLEY IS THE SWEETEST, MOST HONEST PERSON ON THE SAILING CHANNEL. I LOVE LISTENING TO HER
Oh Ashley, don't stress the haters. You are a gorgeous woman and you you guys make the perfect pair.
I absolutely love the honest down to earth content of your channel.
Me too- they are Real!!
Love, love your channel and a look at boat life with a family. Ashley, you are such a lovely, beautiful woman who has such a wonderful life with Ben and your babies. Please post more.
Ashley you are a beautiful woman and a great mom. It’s amazing how you can raise two small kids on a boat. I will keep following you and learning from you. I say when the time is right a bigger boat would be lovely. Willa is getting better at having full sentences that’s awesome. Have a safe trip
I just stopped the video to say, Ashley, you are amazing. You are strong, inspiring, beautiful and a fabulous mom. I've thought it many times and regret not having said it out loud.
I can’t imagine anyone saying anything negative about you guys! ESP towards Ashley. She is so caring, Down to earth , and a sweetheart! My only complaint is I wish the videos were longer! Love watching your channel!! Xoxo

I admire your free spirit and ambition. I subscribed only a couple of days ago, and I did so because you are knowledgeable and have a huge heart.
I'm excited you're repairing your boat. You guys flow like water. You know we all have your backs, like family!🌿🌸💖
Thank you for the summary.

You have the most honest sailing channel on TH-cam…..I’ve sailed for 45 years and enjoy our time on the water but look forward to land time too…
Love that problem vs. expense concept! I’m going to run with it.
I have been following your channel for more than 3 years, your videos are funny, educational, and natural. Kudos to both of you! Stay safe!

The most fantastic thing about the Nahoa Family is that you have made a commitment and you do your level best to keep your goals in sight.
As always, a wonderful video and great good luck to you!
One of the best sailing channels out there. Honest, positive and still sailing. Keep up a good work.
"It's not a problem, it's an expense " I love that and I'm going to use it.
Love, love your channel! Ashley, I’m not sure why someone would send negative comments your way. You’re always so upbeat and beautiful the way you are!
Oh, and I love your videos! Wouldn’t be the same without Ashley’s smiling and lovely face! All the best to the four of you!
My heart sank when you said you get negative comments Ashley, and yet you come on camera smiling and showing your rezileant side inspite of it. Power to you mama :)
Thanks for sharing your responses, your children are beautiful and thriving. Hopefully you will be able to get the repairs done in a timely fashion so that you can get to South Africa for permanent repairs.
I love a mono-hull

You guys rock - thanks for all the entertainment! Beer on me :)
You look sooo good for being an older woman for having two kids Ashley. I hope I look that fit when I'm older. Your such an amazing loving caring Mom
I’m happy to see your lovely faces washed free of the worry and weariness by your stint on land. I hope all goes well once you’re back onboard.
Nice vid guys!! Thanks for always being transparent with everything. I'd love to hear you fix the boat, sell it. and get another - but that's just my view as always. Enjoy the off time and hope you guys get back to the boat soon.
So love seeing the BC coast! 🐠 Spent many summers boating up there from PNW 🚣♂️❤️
Thanks!
That’s for the update guys, good luck going forward, anticipating the vids to come!
Bodhi is loving those cheerios! Love how real you guys are what a beautiful family you have! ~Idaho~
Been watching the channel for a long while and love the honesty. Not my lifestyle but helps me deal with setting up my goals. I mean the no out comment is the total reality, you need to get back and fix the boat. Reality. My reality is weekend sailing, your travels keep me inspired to gunkhole around the Pacific Northwest.

Keep it real.
Great Q&A.
We are new 🇨🇦 TH-camrs so hearing that you just need to keep at it is helpful!
Looking forward to the update next week! 🤞things with the renovation goes smoothly!
Its a sunday morning pleasure to watch your videos. I really appreciate your decency with the family and no display of body parts. Thank you and God Bless always.
Enjoying life and having fun as always...cheers to you all.
I have just caught up with your videos. Been bringing!
So far yours is the most real and enjoyable sailing channel that I have watched. I really injoy the real life joy and problems that happen. Shit happens, "Adapt, Improvise and Overcome". If it has moving parts it will brake at the most inopportune time.
I hope you continue sharing your travels and continue posting new videos.
Thanks
I am a single mom with one daughter. Ashley you inspire me. Every week I watch you be so connected and loving with your children Thank you...
Been watching you guys for sometime now off and on and always come back. I think I come back due to how genuine you guys really are and how adventurous. On a side note, shopping for my own boat right now to sail away sometime in 2023. Good luck and hope to see you out there one day.
Lovely Family - Every member of yours is nice to look at. Thanks for sharing your story. Look forward to interesting episodes with
lots of good stuff.
Ashley, you’re a beautiful young lady, a great mother and you are a ray of sunshine. You and Ben, and your lovely kids are my absolute fav’s to follow on TH-cam. Hopefully we’ll run into each other sometime out there in the future, when I finally get sailing west away from Mexico. Cheers.
The story of the night sky and the planet is so inspiring! That alone makes me want to get out and away from light pollution!
I've started watching your channel as I got recommended some random video, I guess it was pre-covid. I was fascinated by your trip and casually watched one vid or another. Then covid came - quarantine. Then you got a kid. Then another. some adventures in between. In some way, it's like I was co-experiencing your journey.
I totally get the "family" bit you were talking about - I am looking forward to your every updates. I am SO excited of things to come!
I actually just came back from a week longboating trip with my GF in croatia. Motorboat though. Maybe you were an inspiration! Would love to see you in kornati one day!

As I said, I watched that other channel go through the process of fixing the bulkheads from start to finish. They were able to find out that the only bulkhead that was actually failing because of water getting to it was the one that you can't get to the other side of. It looked fine on the side that was available, but once they figured out how to access the other side, it had serious problems with water rot. It had water getting to it that you couldn't see without accessing the sealed up compartment. It only took one bulkhead to cause all of the problems you are seeing and hearing. The other bulkheads came apart because of that one rotten bulkhead. I believe it was the front compartment. Also, they weren't impressed at all with the recommendations from the manufacturer. They did a much better repair, strengthening everything way beyond the original specs. I love the way it turned out.
Look forward every week to your videos! Thanks so much!
Ashley you seemed surprised when there's a fish on the end of your line. You guys look great. Always love the advice and your experiences. Kids look happy and healthy! Stay safe
I love watching your videos. They really take me away from my own problems. Thank you for sharing your adventurous life with all of us, especially the non patrons. And thank the patrons on our behalf. I always try to like and comment to help your algorithms.
great video, great questions with great answers. Love your honesty.
I have seen other people with hull issues fix those and carry on sailing. Glad that you are comitted to staying on the journey. It's ao easy to quit and the fact that you are going to investigate the problem, find a solution to fix it shows that you have internal fortitude. By the way you both are awesome people. Do not give the haters a moments thought. They can't handle what you are accomplishing. Blessings to your beautiful family. ♡
Great video!! Love you guys!! Stay safe !!
Fair winds ⛵️
You are a wonderful family teaching us a lot about sailing, other countries/cultures and bringing up a family in different conditions.
Lol..end of the video, Bodhi standing between Ben’s legs, still snacking, WITH HIS EYES CLOSED! Your kids are gorgeous. ❤️
You Guys always tell a Good Story
Thank you
Glad to see you've retained your positive attitude. Great job!
You 2 are living it own your terms the best that you can do. Extraordinarily more admirable then the sheepeople of the world. You're inqusitive, intelligent, kind, caring, funny, humble, thoughtful, and good parents giving your children a roadmap to live their lives on their terms. All of these qualities give you the ability to get back up and roll with the punches. Its so ez to lose sight of goodness in life for so many, but you should know that you 4 bring goodness into mine. Thanks for all you do to share, thanks very much. It's time for a more robust vessel cuz Nahoa is gonna be a little to seasoned after this circumnavigation to accommodate further. Glad all is as well as can be, cheers from the pine tree state.
You are both looking fabulous. Seems like your time in Canada has been rejuvenating. I wish you all the best as you return to your home on Nahoa.
“THEY DONT PAY YOUR RENT” “Live life don’t let life live you”. You guys are on a great mission. Your videos have helped lots. I am 63yrs old, retired, have a Morgan Out Island 41 Ketch, and for the first time getting her ready for blue water.
Do you guys have an equipment, process list anywhere? One area I am trying to figure out is marine SSB being used for data and voice instead of sat and how to get wind weather real time while I am in the middle but don’t have sat.
I am pretty good at electronics, mechanical and pretty much everything so if ya ever have a systems question I may be able to give ya advice. (former pilot, USAF, ICBM engineer and ops, SPY satellites, Launch ops.)
Thanks again.
You're awesome! I am happy that TH-cam gave me the gift of knowing you!
Ashley, you and Ben are great. I look forward to your adventures, appreciate your hard work. Ashley you are an amazing woman, such a can do spirit. You, my good woman, are a beautiful lovely person. Come on people, what’s not to like!
Love you guys! Stay positive and shame on the negative people! If they don’t like it then find another channel to watch! We love you no matter what! Followed you through the couple of years sailing then the Coronavirus troubles! Been such a long journey and we are all with you, I’m sure, and we can’t wait for the next adventure! Round the Cape! My god. What an experience that will be! Take care and see you this weekend in your next episode! 😍
You guys are truly alive, so many adventures, you literally always make the best out of everything!
Whatever people think or say remember they’re all bored, they live their own fake safety life sitting between 4 walls of mortgage and no inspirations at all, no horizon, no time to watch the stars and having dinners together without having a word to share!
You guys are the inspiration this world needs 🙏👍👍
You will sail soon again just relax❤️
I just wish we had more wonderful people in the world like yall
Good Luck with the Repairs. You always make me smile. Thanks..
Haven’t been following you guys very long but I definitely enjoy the authenticity of you both. To heck with the haters and armchair sailors. You guys are lovely and a breath of fresh air
Thanks for keeping it real. No fluff, just honest living with funny stories. You talk about going home or back to land to juice up the battery's. I was thinking, that's you vacation. Everyone takes vacation to some place to recharge. Sail on , folks.
Appreciate every video and thankful that you are willing to share your life with us all. Ashley, shame to anyone who was a downer. You are beautiful inside and out.
You guys are wonderful. Ashley there is not one negative thing about you. My wife and i have been married 69 years ai have sailed 25 k miles. Keep up the good work.
Im so happy your continuing on with fixing and later ideas of upgrading. Your channel is one of my favorites cuz you show videos of travel not all repairs. thanks again for great content. BTW i was born in Victoria so i feel close to you
youre very gentle not to rip on manufacturer. bravo. best wishes, and look forward to update
You are simply beautiful people, beautiful family, something about your beautiful core beliefs and values that makes all your input here so good to follow and even wait for! And each time with the video uploaded just to be confirmed, that you are still keeping true to yourselves, thank you for this 🙏 ❤️
Great episode, will follow you as long as you do videos. You have a beautiful family.
I appreciate the fact that you are devoted to catamarans yet you video recorded the most of this episode on a monohull LOL 😆
I think that you have a good plan . Make Nahoa safe and then keep on going . You can't risk safety ever ! The ocean is a beast without limits and you should never disrespect it.
Take care friends ! Thanks for your updates !
Great crew you two are growing, many many blessings to you
Best advice ever, don't follow the pack...
I love your channel
SF to Oahu race I was at the end of my 3-5am watch last hour was driving (toughest watch hour). We had no moon the first few days
So I realize my shadow is being cast on the main sail like a giant head light is behind us!!! Crap a big ass ship is spotting us with a spot light!! My crew (only 4 of us on the boat racing) two on deck at night -crew was sleeping. I wake him and ask what we should do about the ship behind us? It was getting closer given the spot light was getting higher off the water!!
He looks at me funny and says dude!! Thats the moon!! Stop changing course!! 😆😆😆
Absolutely love it thanks for sharing your world and family with us 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oklahoma Gal here again!! Always enjoy watching your videos!! Such a sweet family!! Ashley. I love your hair!! It really really looks good!! 💞
you two are the best as well as the children,some may think your life style is crazy,each to his own and finally you talk a lot of sense ,well most of the time,what I'm trying to say is I love your Family and videos ,keep sailing ,good luck and fair winds
Loved all the questions and comments except about Ashley's negative comments. She is beautiful, tough and says it as it is. Ben is a lucky guy and I love the two of you together.
When I found your channel I was very happy to watch some young people from my area going out to sea. The best part is you kids smile and laugh often, People who are always frowning and talking doom and gloom are the unlucky ones.
Love you guys. I think Ash is the sweetest lovely lady and Ben is great as well. Thank you for being real .... Keep Smiling and Stay Safe
You created a beautiful family, watching your kids grow will be more exciting to watch than traveling along Africa that is really dangerous, and it stresses us imagining you sailing on that area. It will be more comfortable to watch them daily, and seeing the kids stable, and living in a safe, and wonderful site like Canada. Touring us on a beautiful camper van will also be an amazing thing to watch, with the different sites in Canada is a fascinating thing, and maybe next will be Germany, Swiss alps, just suggesting. Stay safe. God bless
Can’t wait to see you back on your boat love your show😊🇦🇺
Ashley and Ben- i just want to say you two seem like the most down to earth people. I really enjoy your channel even with the ups and downs. You guys do an awesome job no matter what is breing thrown your way. I like that you dont portray your life to be "instagram perfect" its refreshing to watch.
Ashley- eff the people who leave bad comments about you! You are gorgeous, you're a great mom, and you seem to handle the hurdles if life really well.
Thank you both for the content you put out, i highly enjoy watching your little family grow. 🍻🖤
Looking at the scenery I'm trying to figure out where you are. Looks a lot like Bamberson/Brentwood bay. area across from Mill Bay. I lived on the island for 8 years. Sure miss it. Glad you are doing well.
ALOHA , Your videos are great !! Your living the dream and doing it as responsible parents now!! The internet unfortunately will always have negative people or trolls living miserable lives and take it out on others, but what’s funny from what I see with many youtube creators I follow, and just starting mine is that those haters & negative people are like #1 fans in the fact they watch every video to talk negative or hate lmao 😂 kinda funny! Keep up the videos!!!! I’m in Hawaii and loved sailing a cal 2-30 then switched to fishing boats. My biggest marlin was 700lbs landed here and yellowfin 175lbs 🤙🏽🤙🏽 ALOHA
Wishing you guys the best - watching you ride the roller coaster of life helps us keep things in perspective in our lives - our home is not separating at the seams but is an expense - same with our motor home that we use to get out there and experience the world. As our health degrades we enjoy what we can and live our best life as things continue to change around us.
