So glad to see you guys back in your element! Going off the beaten path and experiencing the real Madagascar! I've always found myself fascinated with your interactions with locals. Even though they have so little they seem so welcoming and happy! Everyone you guys passed was smiling and waving! That's exactly why you're my favorite channel on the tube, no touristy attractions on this channel. Just real, genuine connections with special people excited to show you their home. Keep up the great work and awesome content!

You have such fantastic children ! And for them it is absolutely great to grow up next to their parents and experience the same adventures together ! Thank you! And Lord Jesus Christ bless and protect you on your journeys.

My wife and I enjoy all your videos very much. So good to see your family thriving on the adventures. People, places, so cool. Thanks for another great video. Wish you continuing well being. All the best from Morocco. ✌

"So cool..." indeed! And I feel very lucky to have been invited to share in the story of your beautiful family and incredible journey, several years ago! You guys represent what I want the rest of the world to think of - when they think of Canadians! Well done! Fair winds and following seas! With love from BC.

My wife and I travelled around the world in 94-95 and Madagascar was high on the list of countries I wanted to see. For various reasons we never got there. I am so glad I finally get to travel there vicariously through you. Thank you!!

It's awesome to see you all out exploring again! Thank you for sharing your Madagascar experience. I hope you're having an awesome time wherever you are now. Much love.

You tagged up the lighthouse keeper’s house with “NAHOA 2022”. Classy.

I hope alot of young people of Canada and the USA see your videos so they can understand how grateful they should be and count their blessings. This world isn't all about materialism. Thanks for Sharing ❤️ 🙏 stay safe

If you ever get to Mombasa, you can visit Fort Jesus, built as a slavery prison by the Portuguese, where people captured or purchased from East African village's were kept before being shipped out to the colony's.. It was finally liberated by the English, who used it to defend the harbour, now a museum, where you can still feel the pain that bleeds from every wall.

Madagaskar, such a beautiful place. The people were wonderful and seemed content with what they have. Is French the native language there? Your French is good, Ashley. The kids are getting big! That shot of them looking into the hut in the village was priceless! Willa's hair is getting long! Fair winds and see you guys next week. ❤️

Can't thank you two enough. This week we were riding cruiser bikes from the marina through a really sketchy neighborhood. Tamara said as we were pedaling along.. hey we have to just experience all of this. So we carried on. Smiled, waved, said a solid Canadian Howdy.. and the funny part is.. after we got back to the boat we had both thought of you two at that moment. Getting out of our comfort zones and appreciating a new culture and " the genuine interactions with locals"... your true adventurers and great role models for all of us! Cheers you guys! 🤙🇨🇦🍻

Incredible footage. I'm welling up with tears, the people are beautiful.

Amazing video!! And the babies are getting so big! Trust me when I say enjoy every minute, even the tough times… my kids are 25,17, & 15 and I blinked and am here. All those sleepless nights and long days & me being the center of their world, to teenagers and college. The days past forever but the years fly by! The babies are just absolutely precious ❤

You are seeing things that most people - including myself - only see on tv. What an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing it. Safe travels.

The locals are terrific sailors! What a beautiful thing to see.

Inspirational as always. Even though I dream nightly of cruising the world I never give much thoughts to interacting with locals. Not going to lie the language barrier gives me anxiety and I'm still several years away from casting off.

Sailing Legends You Are! Gotta love the beautiful simplicity of those lateen sails at the end of your vid.

I love MADA and the malagasy people. I really enjoyed my time when I was there a decade ago. Such great memories.

Love to watch you guys every week! Amazing what you are doing! Stay safe!

Some may say you are very lucky, but in this world, I believe people make their own luck. All that aside, you certainly lead an envious life. 😍

And your on a "desert" island at least by Madagascar standards ! When you actually arrive on the Mainland the trees and wildlife will astound you ! The little sail boats are amazing, speeding away with a bed sheet for a sail !

Madagascar is magical. in 2008 had 4 months cruising up the west coast from Toliara - terrible holding in the anchorage there, to Nosy B - so beautiful - then we went onto Tanzantia. Madagasies are kind gentle people - even though they are so poor, amazingly wild and soo off the beaten track. loved the markets. thanks for showing how it is today. such a contrast to Mozambique. if you are stopping in Moz be aware, stay safe, bribes will be the daily obsession.... Maybe we see you when you get to Richards Bay SA

First time seeing Madagascar other than WW2 movies. Thanks, hope you stay around a while longer.

Always great to see you guys

Nice update with much thanks and thumbs up.! Canada was unseasonably warm today.!

You are doing a good job, guys! I just want the episodes to be longer. I want MORE! /Catta

The biggest hurdle in visiting places is not the language, it is the least and you know that. But I understand the need for sponsorship. Yours is the best channel of its category out there.

A very interesting hike with stunning views; heart breaking stories. Your wonder at your travels is so refreshing to see.

Living the dream. So inspiring. ❤

The view from the lighthouse... The whole country looks like it has been strip-mined. So sad🥺

9:13 go back to that village I want to send some supplies. I want to make a difference in this world and one way I can feel good is helping a village. I want to send supplies. Sunglasses, sunscreen, hand lotion, toiletries, medicine, clothing, blankets, etc. I want to help in any way that I can.

That's why SV delos spent months there. So did sailings yacht Florence... due to their beauty of the place and the cost of living

I love you guys. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

Whoa! The drone shots, dude! Sweet!

I just love watching your family adventures......I'm addicted I am watching from Prince George BC , 🇨🇦

658th desktop shipmate LIKE, already 3.7K+ views. 13:46 - he's diggin' it. 14:32 - and so is she.

Super cool 😎 in Franglais accent. Thanks for sharing the adventure, cultural exchange and scenery set to exquisite music. ☝️❤️🌍

wow. there are still virtually untouched areas and cultures on this earth. great episode.

I have been following your journeys from the very start, incredible. I can't wait for you to upload new videos. All the way from Port Elizabeth South Africa, thank you.

You are absolutely an amazing family, thanks for sharing another incredible journey.Blessings to all 🙏💕💕💕

Good morning Nahoa family,enjoy your time out there while you can.You only get one time to do it.be safe all.

Good morning all from Siesta Key Florida

Lots of local sailors! Thanks for the update…was afraid of multiple weeks without.

Great video guys! Really interesting content on a place I know little about. Once again I appreciate how you treat the locals with respect and an honest interest in them and their way of life! 🤗💞

that ship in the first two minutes that you were looking at through the binoculars is unreal, thats insane

What an amazing video. What an amazing way of life. ❤🙏🏻🙌🏼

The small boat reminds me of Jack Sparrow …😅😂 Great to see you all out and about … No more boat maintenance repair 😬😬😬😬

7.48 the nahoa grafiti on the wall 🤣

Hope you are all doing well... Thank you for all you do for me (everyone)... Amazing life is.. You make me appreciate it.. Peace and love you guys Rolfie

Hi from Florida. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks and Be Safe.

How bare it looks there now it used to be a lush jungle with animals everywhere 😓

It seems like all who have a boat came to see yours 😊

The ingenuity of the people there and their sailing boats. ⛵️

7:47 u just had to tag nahoa on the wall😁

Wowzers, what a wild place what a beautiful place what a sad place.. look beautiful people live there I found myself waving to every boat you passed by at The smiling people waving back at you really beautiful thanks for sharing your lives with us kiss the kitties.... ✌🏼💗😊⛵

Possibly my favorite episode!

If your going to travel the world it's crucial for people to learn basic Spanish and French, a few hours a day for a fee weeks will get you by,

Thank you for your hard work, it makes me happy to see you out there again, doing what you do best after parenting……exploring❤❤❤❤❤

7:48 - Grafitti!

Awesome job guys, keep up the great work. ⛵💚👍

Hi Guys. Did you notice the Nahoa graffiti on the wall of the Lighthouse Keeper's old house at 7:48?

Beautiful local boats! Madagascar is known for it's unique animals. Where are the lemurs?

Fantastic! Many blessings to your happy crew

You so close to my Home country can’t wait to welcome you !

I would love to get one of the little boats they sail around on, it would be a blast sailing around Lake Michigan with one of them.

Madagascar is massive. Bigger than France, Spain, Germany.

I can’t help but have the song Move it Move it while you’re on Madagascar.

After seeing that jail, I stopped to smell the roses and my day got much better. Now my wife is yelling at me to start decorating the Xmas tree. All men on deck. Cheers

Very good very interesting I love watching you😊❤️🇦🇺

BEN (!!!), try this one to order a beer: "Biru (beer), (pronounced bee-roo - and roll the "R" a little...) te kudasai ( pronounced: teh' koo-dah-sahyee); or more polite/formal: "onigai shimasu" (pronounced oh-nee-gai- shee-mas), to order a beer.....in JAPAN! OK, ok....just trying to help! Aloha 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

Did you guys see the US Air Base with B-52s on it? It is still and there, functional, and being used to provide bomber support for the Middle East.

I like following your trail on Google Earth. The lighthouse and prison are on Isla Lava, according to Google, that is. 125nm south of Nosy Lava. (Just in case others are looking for it, too.) Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

broccoli "trees". My oldest is now 16 and still calls it trees. LOL Love the amazing video!

Nice episode this one, (among many others of course) Ashley, tu parles bien francais!

Wow! So fascinating, thank you 🙏🏼

Great videos, thanks for sharing

Great video. Thanks. Wow you're from Sidney. I lived there from 2014 to 2019

Very interesting and tragic. Thanks for sharing.

More commentary (😅); when the local people wave at you, I watch and look for the shot of you waving back! Ahhh, the trained for response on KZfaq videos... mind.......Hope that is helpful to your fantastic cinematic talents!!!

Have you ever encounter bad situations during your journey? Both weather and people? Like pirates …or the like?

Ha, I saw that you tagged the wall.

Whoa that's incredible

Wow you guys are my heroes, lugging two children up a mountain is no easy feat. 😅

That terrain reminds me of newfoundland

Beware of Bassas Da India when sailing South . Inside great diving , outside huge game fish but big sharks - Madagascar only place in the Indian Ocean that has a Pirate Cemetery.

Thanks for sharing 😊

So why did the other boats go north instead of south? Was Madagascar not open? Or are the Oceans rougher at the bottom of Africa? Our American prisons are like a luxury hotel compared to that island prison. Thanks for sharing your journey. Blessings!

7:47 - what's written on the wall?! Who was a bit cheeky there?

All I want to say is Wow ~

This video gives me deja vu for some reason...

Great video again. Thank

Nice video 👍🏽👏🏽

Epic. Thanks.

Best on u tube!!

You guys are awesome

Hope any prison that exists stays closed down for good! Holding cells and all!

I am seeing an increasing problem with catamaran sailboats. Their structure in relation to the forces of wind and waves are tearing them in two. What seems to be happening is a combination of several things. First, with two hulls held together by a wide, flat floor, the two hulls tend to try to heal or roll just like the hull on a mono hull, which causes them to push and pull against each other, stressing the floor holding them together. This is especially true since cats don't have ballast in the bottoms of their hulls like a mono hull to keep them vertical. This means they are going to tend to heal or roll with greater force than a mono hull. If they tend to heal towards the same side, one tends to torque up and pull away from the floor and the other tends to torque down and push against the floor. If they tend to heal towards each other, they both torque down and push against the floor. If they tend to heal away from each other, they both torque up and pull away from each other. It is very likely that a cat will do all of these in crossing just one big wave. This stresses the floor and the connections between the hulls and the floor, weakening it over time pending the intensity of the wind and the waves but especially the waves. In moderate to strong seas with decent to large waves, the hull will be torque and stressed several times per wave. I have seen increasing cases where this is literally tearing catamarans apart between the hulls and the floor and causing very significant damage because those forces are very strong. I thought this might happen and have been watching it for a few years but it is happening worse than I thought it would. The physics are interesting. I just saw a video of a man who had his cat destroyed this way so he went back to a mono hull sailboat, which doesn't have this problem. As more and more cats age and go through strong seas, I expect to see increasing numbers of cats torn apart and increasing numbers of people either quit sailing or going back to mono hulls. Keep an eye on it. A suggestion would be that, if you have a cat, put ballast in the bottoms of both hulls to decrease the severity of those forces by increasing their resistance to healing or rolling. Of course you also should want to increase the strength of the places where the hulls attach to the floor.

Thank you for sharing

So cool 🤓
