Where's your happy place?

Not sure why you guys don’t have a million subscribers your channel is great 👍

Truly Inspirational. We are plotting our escape, down to an 8 year plan now. We have the boat! No circumnavigation for us, just marina hopping the US and Bahamas.

Watching you two just makes me Happy. The view , U2 & the bs makes it easy to get lost and enjoy the ride. Thank you

Incredible footage! Thank you both!

Beautiful reflections....🍒”the shyness of some and the curiosity of others” , poetry at its best....🐝

This is one of my favorite episodes you guys have done.. I love your channel! Thank you for all you two do!

Your story telling just continually improves -- top notch guys

Love it. I started uploading regularly after shattering my leg last year while fishing. So now, I'm fishing, camping and recording everything. Going to give the old KZfaq's a year or so before I go back to a 9-5...or hopefully not!

You guys Rock! Love watching your videos about the both of you following your dream. It is certainly a cool one. They keep my motivated while I ride my bike on the trainer during our soggy PNW winters.

What paradise! What a dive ... OOOHHH myyy ... you're awesome Ben and Ashley. we get to see nature through your eyes. thank you, thank you ...

The great part of sailing is that once you tire of palm trees and amazing islands there's the northern latitudes ;-)

I loved this narration. This place is beautiful! Then, of course, it is beautiful, there are no people with nonreusable waste.

The wifey and I truly enjoy tagging along with you kids on your boat and looking over your shoulders as you enjoy life. At 73 and 62 with physical limitations it would be a bit tough to ride through those storms at sea. However having served in the USCG and been in both a nasty hurricane and later a typhoon on cutters I would love to bounce around out there again,,,,maybe a little less violent but the ride is magnificent. Oh and I'd prefer a hammock if possible for those "rolly" anchorages. MikeC

Cannot wait to see more diving footage of those reefs. The coral was huge, and soo many types. Yippee!

What a cool place. Just gorgeous. Thanks for the video. 👍👍👍❤️

You two make great videos, wish i could do what you have done, just cant get away from my already written book. You two are amazing keep it up!

Fantastic video. Love the conversation and talking about your past and how you live now. The story is what so many miss about life.

You two are blessed to have each other doing life.

Ben and Ashley; love your channel and your desire to "break the mold” of everyday life many accept as the norm. Your travels are inspirational, and bring me happiness for my days ahead. Keep cruisin’. Keep livin’.

One of the greatest videos to date!!! Epic and and amazing. Thank you!!!

I just finished watching all of your videos. Took me few weeks to watch one or two videos a day. And i really enjoy it and gave me sort of a connection towards your life and journey in short I’m hooked to Nahoa. Looking forward to your another video. Good luck Ben & Ashley👍🏼✌🏼

I really love this couple, thanks guys for sharing your amazing adventures! 🤙🏻

I applaud and loath the release of a new video from you guys as I pretty much cry at the waste of my life it seems while watching … I feel like I have hit rock bottom but have so much dependent on me getting up every morning to the mundane monotony that is my life currently … You two are amazing and I dream of my 'retirement' on my sailboat alone adrift at sea and that seems like the only thing that keeps me going, well my young girls of coarse are the reason as well that I am not adrift at sea at the moment as well... Great content, keep it going forever, but I want to see a school on "How to live at sea for life!" in the future! TYLY

Ben, your introspective narration was on point. kudos!

Came across your videos while viewing other sailing vessels. Love your videos, I am hooked. I am always amazed how people like you two have the guts to drop your structured life and follow dreams. I am a retired member of the RCN. Would love to spend some time sailing the tropics with seasoned crew. Any suggestions????

You guys just get better and better! Awesome!

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures🙏🏻. Its sweet to watch people I can relate to living their dream and moving to the beat of their own drum. I get to escape with you for a few minutes each video and lie to myself that I might do it too lol. Your both funny, genuine and lots of fun to watch. Keep it up!! Love from Vancouver

Awesome team....... As always guys!

You guys rock man, I could only imagine but now I have you guys to watch it’s like being on a big adventure with you two great people rock on.

Excellent video you two.... becoming aware of your environment... being present in the moment ... you said it Ben... rock on you two...

Where's my happy place? With you guys getting to see all these amazing places and people threw your amazing work !! Also the sea of Cortez I'm in Tucson Arizona it's 3.5 HR drive to the water

I really liked your initial narration on why you moved onto a boat and how your viewpoint has changed. Profound. For those naysayers you will never regret this adventure.

We did something similar by giving up the careers in the UK in our 40's and moving to beautiful NS Canada!! (And just officially became Canuck citizens this week!). The boat dream is still on the list though. Through sharing your decision and amazing vids more and more people are realizing that there really is more to life. We are self employed - have way less spare cash and still have a mortgage - but do what we love and get to live in an amazing community and with a white sandy beach at the bottom of the garden (yard)! Like you and so many others fore-going the hamster wheel we can all say "We win" !! Fair winds and thanks for sharing.

We did not quit our 9-5 but moved from US to NZ. Better work-life balance. We travel so much and love our new life.⛵

Great episode you two. Really enjoying your "work"!

Man Ben, the intro you did was beautiful! This entire edition was so laid back. Well, if you are South of the equator, Happy Spring, North? Happy Autumn.

Lots of truth here for those who can and will take a chance on a different life. I spent 10 years visiting hospitals and assisted-living homes with my two therapy dogs. Logged visits with more than 30,000 people, many at the brink of the end, and they are candid and open up to you. What do people regret? What they never did, could have done, wish they had done. Too many leave this world with dreams, not with memories.

Really REALLY nice video! Both nature and you guys were showing of the most beautiful side. Love it! 💚💙💜

I’m working on it!

Wish I was young again. Enjoying your videos, like watching my dreams.thanks for sharing.

Very poetic monologues. love it

I know I'd rather live on a boat crossing the ocean.. you folks made the right decision! I've plans to buy and convert a van to a camper and tour myself soon.

I love watching your adventures!

Just kept thinking what if you clothes line someone coming through lol 😂 what a cool place... sad to say I’ve officially watched all your videos now from start to finish. Can’t wait to see more guys! Your the best sailing ⛵️ adventure youtube channel by far in my opinion. Gonna have the mos epic videos to show your kids one day and after. Love that your living the dream. Good for you not letting fear hold you back! You guys rocks! About to buy one of ur shirts 👚 now !

I love watching your adventures in the big blue. I want to take my family and go sailing the world

Another good one. Had to watch it twice. I wish it was longer. I am surprised to hear about the mosquitoes.

Underwater in Tropical unspoiled islands . Loved Fakarava, Fiji. Looking fwd to Raja Ampat. Currently living on my Aussie partner cat : a Perry 43 at a mooring in Airlie beach, QLD. The world still holds a few treasures, but underwater is where I am the happiest. Been diving for 40 years.

Fantastic Episode- thanks guys

you describe it so inspirational! I can relate to it so much and I hope that I could do the same life change someday! I think you two are weary enjoyable too follow! you are awesome!

Just wanted to say you two rock! Keep the awesome vids coming. Thanks for all the advice and tips, I’m almost ready to buy my own boat and follow in your footsteps. The 9-5 just ain’t for me 😊 Stay safe and enjoy! Bevan

"Naw Flip Flops are fine" Ben your my brotha from another motha, I have said that exact same thing multiple times. You guys are awesome, Keep up the great content and happy adventures.

Great show guys! Enjoyed every second...

Im happy to watch in your adventure.

My ‘Happy Place’ is watching Sailing Nahoa🎉😃

Wayag ,Raja Ampat, Papua ,Indonesia . It is the most stunning place on earth .

You do great drone shots over water, love to see longer scenes of that, look for big fish swimming or wishing was i there.

Having found your channel by accident, I was and still am intrigued by the name Nahoa. After binge watching just to catch up and keep things in context I can honestly state the your editing skills are up there with the best producers of content around. You have a unique presenting style that is infectious, which brings across you love of life in general.

You both are such an inspiration to me and my wife. We hope to meet you someday while we go on our own adventure which we hope leaves in about 1.5 yrs.

Love you guys and what your doing to inspire the rest of us.keep up the awesome videos.😉😁🤟🙏

I just love you guys! You always make me laugh Ashley! I think you’d be fun to hang out with !

Thanks.

Those 'button mushroom' islands remind me of those in the Philippines. Yes, those rocks are quite sharp. They get sharp from thousands of years of erosion (from rain, wind, sun I guess?).

Ash is having absolutely too much fun. Great watching your videos. Enjoy and stay safe.

I love your videos !!! MORE PLEASE!!!!!

Please upload vids more frequently guys, love watching your adventures.

Dankeschön for this gorgeous episode.

Nice Video . Really enjoyed this one! I’ve been playing with weaving subplots into stories and you have done this so well.

Keep livin that dream. Love your videos. Its awesome that somehow Im also 'livin' my dream in your videos while 9to5 here in Vancouver BC. Stay safe guys.

Hey, fab video, Ben, you should write and dub more of your thoughts, they are beautiful. Ashley, love your passion. Thanks.

What a beautiful journey 👏👏👏

Amazing looking spot!

great stuff as always. watching your work puts me in my happy place. anyways....this channel gets better and better every episode. how good can it get?? looking forward to finding out. thanks for having me along.

Thank you

In love with your life,thank’s to share it with us!

Thank you, I enjoyed every minute... 💕

You guys are Rad! Super stoked for the two of you. Sooo digging on tagging along on your bitchin’ adventures with you. Been surfin’ for 43 years now and I can totally relate to being in and around the ocean. Not many of us can just split and sail around the world like the two of you have but, I’m always amazed and stoked for those who can. 🤙🏼

That's crazy I'm from Palau living the robot life in PDX. Be safe and happy sailing!

I love your guys story so much!

epic episode! great idea to mix it up with footage from your past life style it gave a huge contrast 🌎⛵️🌴

Great adventure guys.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

yall are so lucky im stuck in tyler tx. your vlogs give me a little escape

VERY nice work on this one, particularly the drone shots.

Awesome video guys!

Thanks for the reality injection. Its lifted me on this disappointing day.

I'm in Indonesia right now! Here for another month and a bit 💃 will give you a wave if I see the boat pass by 😉

Sooo beautiful the place

A zip line between some of these rocks would be so cool !

Awesome adventure

Being able to quit a 9-5 has restrictions that in some cases are out of our control. Like health issues. Aside from that, it's a matter of planning, money, and learning to live life in a whole different way than what we are used to. Oddly enough....my "happy place" is in the ocean or in the Sky. In our situation, I can fly and still be close enough to medical needs, but it requires I work for our health benefits. You guys are truly living the dream many of us have. And part of the reason I sought you out was because you never know what the future holds. Perhaps one day things might change, and I will always remember and keep everything you guys have passed on to us as one of my favorite options.

Another awesome video! Please keep em coming!

Beautiful Spot!!! NICE

This is great that you two have the nerves to take risk. Most of us professionals are always concerned about the "coins" we make. We know that time is a constant variable and it is always moving forward. If there was an emergency, is there a plan? Sorry to be so intrusive. However, I think your lifestyle is healthy but as an engineer, I calculating the expense. Also, the beautiful CAT you are on cost. Can you help the general audience with cost breakdown. Godspeed to you and wishing you the best mate. Thanks for sharing your dream with the rest of us chickens who worries about tomorrow. It's interesting, as a Christian, we are taught over and over that God provides our needs. I have seen God love for me but I guess we still like to take total control of our life but in the end, we control nothing ... Take care and thanks again. If you need a deckhand, I'm free while I'm in between jobs. .... Nothing in life is permanent, but God's love 😉 If you take me up on my offer, I'll pick up my dive gear from Asia and come see you ...

Wow! Some amazing seascapes! Beautiful underwater video! Amazing job you two! Hopefully you were not around for the Earthquakes in Sumbersari and Pendok Indonesia both over 6.0.

"I don't know what I'm gonna do now" I for one, hope ya keep doing what your doing, keep going and come back around again. See you in Gizo. I've watched this episode for the 3rd, and not the last time. Have always loved your content, camera work and editing but this is the first time I got hooked on the audio input. The music and sound engineering are great. Highly recommend it should be replayed with head phones on

Awesome guys. Beautiful words of what real natural ocean life is. And what not real city life is. Wonderful contrast. Hope your videos were like 30 minutes long. Saludos , Suerte.

Awesome,awesome video.

Indonesia consist of thousands large and small islands surrounded by sea... Thank you for have shown us the natural beauty of Indonesia... hidden paradise:) Big respect 2U

Just Magnifique!!
