One of the main reasons I have LOVED this channel, is because you guys have always seemed authentic & genuine. Plus you both have awesome personalities!!! ❤

One thing I LOVE about your sailing family that is different than others is that you're not afraid to interact with the locals. Sure you have to be cautious, but you are also showing your kids (and others by way of your videos) that not everyone is "out to get you" and how to PROPERLY interact with the locals and what blessings you can get from that. You all are a great example of how to be a "Global Citizen"!

Cam you just imagine growing up sailing around the world ! Some kids don't even get out of their provinces or even cities. Such a beautiful way to grow up and live 💕.

At least Ben didn't get her a new car tire for her birthday! 😀

BEN & ASH, It's nice to see you are able to "STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES"!👍💪❤🏝 CHEERS !🍻

I'm a fixit guy that lives on aired plains of North Central Montana. I watch sailing videos just to see what everyone is fixing a maintaining each week. Thanks for sharing. The kids are growing fast.

It's wonderful to see the children so happy!

I'm more than a little concerned about the repairs, the effectiveness and the current status of the structural integrity of the boat. Seems we went from a really serious safety issue to huh, what happened(?) in a short span. The flexing of the hulls, the rig and the movement and separation of the bulkhead panels, (the film of which I cannot get out of my head)...I look forward to updates and under sail views of the repairs. All of that not withstanding, I'm continually impressed with what a great couple these two make. Bring on next week!

I'm proud of you two!! You both are so respectful towards each other and some how in the crazy times you can make each other laugh about them (and make us laugh too) 😂

I love the episodes when you go provisioning! It is neat to see what is available in other countries.

"Learn to live like a local" 👍 That's travel advice too often overlooked. Love the T towel rescue! Those child backpacks are great, giving you free hands while you hike. Fun video, thanks guys 👍 👍

Oh those steps. You'll really be chasing the kiddos now! So glad you're gonna keep sharing your sailing adventures.

As echoed by others, I appreciate a snapshot at the "mundane, day in the life of, normal behind the scenes, maintenance projects" that happen when you live on a boat. Stuff breaks wherever you live - but you must have to be more aware (and agile) when parts and materials are harder to get depending where you are when things fail. I'm glad you've been able to put your structural boat issues behind you for now. And happy you've been able to rediscover the joys that started you making your first lap. Thanks for sharing your trip with us landlubbers.

It's like hanging laundry in the 🏜️ with our high wind adventures. Love ya all! 💖❤️💖

This was a great video! It was nice to see you so happy to share your everyday life. Happy Nahoa will float on.

Just keeping it real! That's what we love about you guys!

Always good for everyone to see the reality of this, which includes everything that happens in between the beautiful beaches and great sailing. Thanks

Ashley, you are an absolute gem. I love your spirit and your charm. Your ready smile warms my heart. Ben is a very lucky guy to have such a wonderful gal as his wife.

LOL retrieving the tea towel Thanks for the video postings I enjoy following your adventures FYI I live in Nanaimo :)

After having followed you guys for a few years now it was a wonderful experience meeting you all yesterday at your mooring in Eden Island. What a lovely family you all are, will always remember and cherish the moment.

9:32 - 3K+ like posted, only after 21,325 viewers beat me to it - great illustration of 'apparent wind' for those of us who experience this adventure from a desktop. Many, many thanks again for sharing all of this with your Phantom Shipmate/s. "CHEERS!" PS: I recommend the 4:47 segment as your illustration of 'stand alone'... whatever.

You 4 are so fun to watch!!❤

Awesome video!

Loved, loved loved this video 🥰!

So cute to see the kids in a plastic tub having a ball. When our kids were small we’d put in the bottom board to our companion way and fill the cockpit with water….made a great bathtub! LOL

I love your videos, Thank You!

Y’all are a beautiful family, inside and out. Thanks for sharing your adventures and your trials with us. I feel blessed to peek into your amazing lives and wish you every happiness!

As they say, "It is always something!" All handled with your usual grace and charm. Awesome...

What a great video! Day to day life goes on while on a boat, without a lot of the conveniences of on land living and a lot of added tasks that need to be done. The repairs! Yikes! Still worth it of course! ❤️❤️

Sending love from a grandma in Florida!!

This is the best and honest channel about life on boat.

Looking forward to the future with you guys

One of your best videos, loved seeing the side that none boat owners do not get to see...thanks for sharing our reality of what boat life really is :)

Just love your adventures, and how you both deal with two kids! Your both so laid back, and manage without any crew! keep up the good work!

I like the old pattern on the bags and shirts!

Well, I’m with ya.!

Doing great guys, chin up, your amazing❤❤

Love you guys.. You are "real" people! Stay safe. Rolfie

❤ Love your videos. 🙌

Hiking is GOOD! Nice to see you happy despite the tedious boat work. Stay well, stay safe, fair winds and following seas!

Your attitude is admirable! Cannot phantom circumnavigating the world with two toddlers. You’re teaching me to chill and to take everything in stride. Don’t worry, be happy. Love you guys! 😘

Thanks for letting us in on every day life with you all. Great video. See you next week 🙂🇨🇦⛵

Ash, I must say you are looking good. The hair color makes you glow and i think to kids brings out the best in you. Ben, your looking younger by the day as well. Kids keep you on your toes. Love you guys!

Good to see you guys hiking, eh-gain!

It was great to see this episode. Seems you turned the page on the broken hull chapter and back on track to your sailing adventure. Can’t wait to see your next great update.

Looking forward to seeing your progress on this 'round', and more so for further 'rounds'.

Hi! To both to you! I've watched your videos many times over the years, you're learning to cope with adversities, you're learning to be the best parents you can, your loyalty to all around you, who you meet, your total shearing of your lives with all of us. I want to say thanks, , the filming, is amazing and priceless. As a skipper of a large catamaran, I don't know how you cope with it all, when I have a full yacht of guest, It's full on, and here you are, having time to present to us each week a full video production. You are both simply amazing... Thank you!

Well done extending visas. Beautiful views

Lovely video and channel! hello from the Kwa Zulu Natal region on the east coast of south africa

A second lap?!? Count me in...

Great job on the video. Just to let you know that sailing vessel Zatara its just sailing a head of you and had some great reviews on Tanzania for boaters and getting stuff for the boat you should look into it see if it will help you

Hold fast , stay safe , best of luck to ya all (love that we can watch your kids grow up on a sailboat) , you guys are living ,never stop !

@End - So good to see you guys smiling again.. And, that too, with an awesome plan for the kids.. Loads of love from India..

Thank you for sharing

You guys are awesome!

Love it.

Work workweek and then go play... just love watching, and learning.

Loved the kids splashing in the tub together. And your hikes.

That is the best vlog ever u two, thanks for sharing

We re-titled our circumnavigation very early on. It went from Sailing in Paradise to (Constantly) Fixing Our Boat in Exotic Places 😁. But still a great way to make a living and spend your life ⛵⚓

You guys are having a wonderful life so enjoy every minute of it. Your kids will be so glad that you let them grow up on the ocean!

Great Job!!! Thank You... :-)

You are right the kids didn’t see some country and you definitely have to go back and make more video and when you are done…..well you start again because you can’t stop making video I love your video they are real the real life of sailing and I love it thank you

Captivating and entertaining ❤ to ya

I never imagined it was easy. It’s a life I want and I fully get the hardship, the discomfort, the fear. But you still do it. For me a lot is about just getting away from typical life in Europe/USA I can’t stand it anymore… and meeting people… seeing the world. And the issues will be mine to deal with… It’s a real case of feel the fear and do it anyway… and understand the fact it’s not an easy life… and do it anyway. I’ve set a deadline now and told relevant family that I’m off as soon as I can get things organized. I’m at the other end of family life to you… my wife of 31 years wanted a divorce… two of my three kids are adults. It’s now or never. I’m 55 and every year counts at this age. Love you guys Cheers Julian

Love your "Mundane Day". You all are blessed!

Fled the Smokey skies of BC, now at our condo in playa del Carmen enjoying the Caribbean sunshine…our version of the tropics lol. Wishing you guys great health and wow the guppies are growing! Cheers!!

👍 💡finally some says/shows it as it is. Some people get the notion of, Blue sky's with calm wind (no bugs), white sandy beaches, clear water and everyday is a typical Sundowners evening. Oh, that's the Caribbean cruisers & channels. Do get me wrong. It's fun (sometimes) with lots of other things mixed in. My vessel was built in '65. Lots of fun 😀 🥴 daily. Thanks!
