Y'all should look into the personal alarms that Sailing Zatara showed on their channel a few months ago, but for your children. Zatara makes their kids wear them during night shifts in case they fall overboard. I don't remember for sure, but it was either triggered by contact with water, or by distance from the ship. Either way, it sounds an alarm on the boat and in the parent's sleeping quarters. If you made a belt or chest harness for your kids, which they can't take off themselves, it could save your kids in the event one of them falls overboard when you turn your back (split second).
I love that you guys keep it real. No pretenses, no provocative poses or thumbnails to get likes.. just down to earth storytellers living their best lives.
My sunday isn't cmplete without seeing you. Your children are having the best education ever. Much respect and tons of love. Keep sailing and following your dreams. See you soon.
Ashley, you are absolutley lovely. Don't feel too down on yourself, you are living THE life. We all get older, but you have a great life. It's been wonderful watching y'all throughout the years. P/S, You sounded really Canadian in that end bit :P
I must admit I watch a lot of UA-cam videos. And I totally enjoy watching both of you and kids managing and sailing around the world. This world went up side down and you guys sailed right through and came out on top. The strongest most normal channel on UA-cam! Cheers!
You two are quite the sailors. What a fight that Marlin gave you great catches ! You look beautiful Ashley. Thank you for the upload praying your travels are safe.
❤ YES! You are amazing 🎉. No extra crew and having to watch two little ones is a feat in itself in such a small space. I watch from the Canadian prairies, and I'm so proud of you. You bring a wee tear to my eye.😢 lots of love to you all.
Ash, it seems women have a harder time with weight, especially after menopause. Not fair. Thank you for bringing us another wholesome sailing and fishing adventure. Much love! ❤❤❤❤
Those 2 kids are going to have some fantastic memories when they are older looking back on how mum and dad sailed around the world taking them for a ride too…I know I have…
Great video. I didn't realize how long of a sail it would be. Yes, I know you told us but when you area actually doing it and we see you sail, and sail and sail for long stretches, it make the distance "real". We love the family portions of your videos. The kids are experiencing and enjoying life. You guys are enjoying your adventure. You all look so much happier when you are exploring. The fishing portions are great too. Loved seeing Ben yell "fish on" so the kids can see it too. Awesome!
Sending Best Wishes and lotsa love from Edmonton, Alberta. I was on the edge of my seat for this episode, and almost fell off my chair. That would have been my exercise for the day :). Take Care Nahoa family.
So good seeing your guys again today! Congrats on your exercise out there on the boat Ashley, so proud of you! You are super motivated. Great job fishing and cooking up that yummy fish, how cool is that?! Safe travels, you guys are getting those miles behind you, it was fun watching you all enjoying it as you went on, living in the moment.
Wow! That Marlin was a fighter. Great 'catch and release' story. So impressed how the whole family manages the long passage. 🤗 Ashley you look fantastic.
Imagine what bodie is thinking as he stares out at the sea behind the boat? I hope he remembers allot as rare for any child to live this life or even grownups these days. Great video!!
Good stuff. I started nodding off at the end of long night watches. I was listening to audio books, but 2 - 3 hours in, I'd get the nods. So I started switching to music, and then to dancing in the cockpit. The trick at sea of course is you can't lift your feet off the deck, 'cause when you set it back down, the deck is someplace else. A bit ridiculous? No, very ridiculous. Surprised it actually gave me a modicum of exercise. A guy I sailed with in the Bahamas made the observation that, on a boat, if you didn't do any stretches and back exercises you'd end up with a bad back. So I started doing double leg overs ( On my back , knees all the way to one side, then all the way to the other... Keeping count with my fingers, so I could think about something else.) It's like a minimum amount of exercise and stretching. When it was rough, 42' cat 2 -3 meter seas, no news to you guys, I'd do them in my berth.
I love having your video to watch at the start of the week.. watching sail through the darkness at night with little visibility ohhh my goodness I think I would be to anxious to handle it. The really love the down to earthiness and honesty you give of your experience. Lots of love and hugs
hee danke für die wunderschöne Zeit mit euch . wegen euch hab ich mir auch eine 410 gekauft . ein super schiff. mein altes ist bei einen Unfall in der Marina verbrannt ...ich war nicht an Bord .. es gibt keine Zufälle . euch alles liebe . ihr seit großartig ..Peter
Oklahoma grandma here again!! I’ve been watching you all for long time!! I absolutely love your precious family!! Your amazing parents!! I’ve never seen the beautiful blue waters and it’s number one on my bucket list so it’s such a joy watching you kids live your dreams out and around the world!! Wow!! I can’t imagine the beautiful places and people you’ve seen!! Blessings and prayers for you all from Oklahoma ! Keep on keepin on doing what makes your hearts smile!! 💖💖💖💖
I really do adore you guys. Ashley an Ben, I appreciate how you share the truth of real life on a sailing vessel with 2 cutie patooties an the whole world ahead of you!! I'm evaluating what I have in my life! I'm grateful for the small group of trusted humans I call family, I am grateful for the ppl on youtube who sail an share the rawness that is being a sailing parent , couple, person. I'm grateful for the places I've been from my phone .And its only because you share your lives with us. To me thats huge an I value your choice to share!! Fare winds an following seas !!! ✌🏼💗😊⛵
Love you guys, thank you for taking me away from my hectic life with some interesting content. Things I will never do, I can do in a sense, by watching.
I so look forward 2 your videos. Ashley, both U & Ben look great! I love the fishing video, especially when U catch something U can eat. Safe travels ❤
I love how you guys make amazing memories with the kids. I'm sure Willa & Bodhi will remember those special moments. Can't wait to see you guys reach the island off Brazil.
Be really wary of double hook rigs, especially with bigger marlin. If you get the "free" hook caught in your hand or even your clothing, you are then attached to a very powerful fish, unlikely to end well. Stick to large strong single hooks, much safer.
While watching you hand pull in that fish I was thinking how useful a small chrome cleat or two to use for fishing. Possibly one mounted on the solar arch structure. Another great episode.
I find I always get so drawn into your story line. You show the real life (good, bad and “awesome” stuff) of the sailing life. I have gone back to watch it all from the beginning. It’s so interesting to see your growth over the years. Great job you two!
It sometimes feels like it's dangerous and a concern for Willa and Bodhi is real, but actually the kids are very happy. Both Parents trapped on a small boat in a big Ocean and no waiting for Mom or Dad to come home from work, it's perfect! There's food and Dad's always fishing and Mom is in the kitchen turning Dads fish into nummy food and two very happy kids, lucky enough to have crazy Parents always there to hug them. I'm guessing Ben and Ashley got it right. Sail on, into that good night.
Wow that was a little marlin and look at the fight. My biggest was 471 lbs, which is big for a male . Females can get as big as 2000 lbs. . My 471 pounder spooled me and the captain tied on another pole and threw the first in the water . The fish almost spooled me again but I finally got it turned around. It took me 45 minutes to reel in both lines and all four of us aboard to get her onboard. I never kept one again after seeing the light in her eyes go out. Then it catch tag and release. What great life you have take care of those two little ones. May the wind be always at back and smooth sailing!
A great episode guys! I've just got Wifi back - 20 days without it due to the local fires; I was lucky. Speaking of luck, I don't think Elon or Warren or Jeff have any more happiness than you do Ben. With a family like the one you have and the joy amazing Ashley brings - you really are one of the luckiest guys on the planet! Stay Safe. Love from The Okanagan.
Vous êtes tres, tres, inspirants! Nous naviguons ,en ce moment, sur notre voilier de 35 pieds. Nous sommes partis du Québec et sommes présentement au Nouveau- Brunswick. Nous poursuivons notre route vers a côte est americaine dans lespoir de nous rendre au Bahamas, éventuellement. Ce serait un immense plaisir de vous y rencontrer. En passant, tes cheveux sont aussi beaux que ton sourire et tes merveilleux enfants!
Thanks for sharing, I have been in the same situation over the last 6 months workout wise. Full time boat life and traveling it can happen, I started back up 8 days ago and I feel soooo much better!
The fishing is awesome. For long passages my wife and I will do what I call a modified Swedish watch which is a 6, 6, 5, 4, 3 hour watches. I find I get better rest this way - after the second night of course. ;-)
Wow, that marlin catch and release was amazing to see, good to see you are all doing well, enjoyed Ashleys ramble, good for you doing the work out, thank you for sharing.
Great editing. Each episode seems to get better! I look forward to your videos each week. You bring us along on the trip as if we are there. Thanks for sharing your adventure and your family. I feel as if I am traveling along with you vicariously!
Hey Ben, great episode and a real inspiration watching you do it with the kids. With the double hook set on the lures have you tried just running a single. I know its horses for courses but over the years we have caught and released well over 3000 billfish and the hook up rate is no different with one hook or two but the main factor is one hook a hell of a lot safer and easier to manage when releasing or handling the fish. Keep up the great work. You guys have inspired us for our next chapter in our lives, thank you!
I love your content. I'm planing on starting my catamaran build next summer and plan on doing a few laps around the planet myself. Not sure how long I'll be doing it for but probably till I'm physically unable to continue. I hope to hook up with you in an anchorage someday, have a beer and talk about sailing.
You guys are inspirational, you're doing something that some of us will only dream of. It would be nice to know how you trained and/or prepared for this unbelievable journey you are on. Thank you for sharing.
The fish break up the monotony of your shift watches. Catch, cook, eat, repeat! Never gets old. When you get back to Canada or the U.S., order up some salmon (my fav fish). This time til next time... :¬)Webhead USA
Some day these kids are going to have a very clear record of their amazing early childhood... pretty cool
Hell yeah it’s better than daycare

Hallmark of this channel. ❤
I agree they been so clean God bless them been watching them forever.
Are you still in Greece for all this flooding, or did you leave a while ago?
My sunday isn't cmplete without seeing you. Your children are having the best education ever. Much respect and tons of love. Keep sailing and following your dreams. See you soon.
Same here about the Sunday. I know that you’re probably be releasing another video about true life at sea!
Ashley, you are absolutley lovely. Don't feel too down on yourself, you are living THE life. We all get older, but you have a great life. It's been wonderful watching y'all throughout the years.
P/S, You sounded really Canadian in that end bit :P
I love me some Canadians!!!

Everytime I see your update I thank God for your safety
Bodhis such a big boy already!! Beautiful family on a beautiful journey. Sending good vibes from Vegas!
you must really trust those nets and your kids! I think I'd be a nervous wreck.
Me too
I absolutely love the clips of the kids playing. Really makes the episodes seem down to earth. And, of course, they are simply adorable! :)
I watch a lot of sailing channels and I think ya’ll are the most successful at fishing!

Love the dance party!!! Great way to help the kids burn off some energy. It’s so much fun. I enjoy doing some funky moves with the grandkids as well 😅
So good seeing your guys again today! Congrats on your exercise out there on the boat Ashley, so proud of you! You are super motivated. Great job fishing and cooking up that yummy fish, how cool is that?! Safe travels, you guys are getting those miles behind you, it was fun watching you all enjoying it as you went on, living in the moment.

Love your show and admire your spirits! Cheers from Shanghai😘
One of my favourite sailing channels for sure!
Thanks for sharing your passage and more with us looking forward to whatever comes next.
Ashley… your hair and hair color look fabulous. ✨ Ocean hair…. you wear it very well! 😘
I so look forward 2 your videos. Ashley, both U & Ben look great! I love the fishing video, especially when U catch something U can eat. Safe travels ❤
Fans of your travels, following for a few years now, but totally freaking at the children on deck without life vests.
I love how you guys make amazing memories with the kids. I'm sure Willa & Bodhi will remember those special moments. Can't wait to see you guys reach the island off Brazil.
Be really wary of double hook rigs, especially with bigger marlin. If you get the "free" hook caught in your hand or even your clothing, you are then attached to a very powerful fish, unlikely to end well. Stick to large strong single hooks, much safer.
Amazing video! Always looking great Ashley!!
Ashley you look great!!! I’m sure the kids were you out for sure!!!!
Yall are awesome been watching for years now..
Would give anything to do this !!!
Thanks for the update 😃
Miss you guys. Glad you back in the saddle. Godspeed ☀️🌴
While watching you hand pull in that fish I was thinking how useful a small chrome cleat or two to use for fishing. Possibly one mounted on the solar arch structure. Another great episode.
Another marvelous video capturing life on Nahoa. Continue being safe and enjoy your travels.
I find I always get so drawn into your story line. You show the real life (good, bad and “awesome” stuff) of the sailing life. I have gone back to watch it all from the beginning. It’s so interesting to see your growth over the years. Great job you two!
God bless you guys. I have been watching you guys forever feels like way before you had your kids you guys are genuinely the cleanest show on UA-cam?
Great video. Ashley you look fantastic! You look healthy, happy and you have an amazing smile. 😊
It sometimes feels like it's dangerous and a concern for Willa and Bodhi is real, but actually the kids are very happy.

Awsome video! You guys rock!💪🏼
Absolutely ❤ you guys..... thank you for sharing your world x
You two are amazing parents but it scares me to see the children standing up by the netting without life jackets on.🤗
Nahoa Crew rocks!! 😊❤😎
Wow that was a little marlin and look at the fight. My biggest was 471 lbs, which is big for a male . Females can get as big as 2000 lbs. .

Captain my Captain!
True adventure with lovely soft reflections of time and place.
Thank you.
Funny to see the kids eating at the table in heavy seas and not a care in the world I would be freaked out. Such an awesome experience for the kids!
A great episode guys! I've just got Wifi back - 20 days without it due to the local fires; I was lucky.
Speaking of luck, I don't think Elon or Warren or Jeff have any more happiness than you do Ben. With a family like the one you have and the joy amazing Ashley brings - you really are one of the luckiest guys on the planet! Stay Safe. Love from The Okanagan.
There is nothing better than sailing with the moon out. Another great video guys🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🇦🇺
Awesome. Safe sailing. God bless you and your family
Thank you for releasing that beautiful fish
I love your hair, you are absolutely beautiful 💚💚💚 I am sending y’all lots of love and safe travels ❤
Always Fun to watch you all. maybe old school but "Mustad" Hooks have always been my fave as they are extra strong. Love You ALL.
Great video guys, wonderful sailing. Beautiful family!
One of the top 10 favorite videos you've done, from my perspective. Thanks always
LOVE how much you both LOVE these long passages. Your channel is unique, refreshing and fills my soul.
Love the rawness and realnesss. Love seeing the challenges, not just the triumphs 🎉

Good catch fishing; the name of the golden fish is Dorados in the Philippines, and the meat is so delicious.
