    I follow a number os sailing channels, I find yours to be the most fulfilling. I like Ben’s narration and calm approach. I also like that you aren’t pushing sex appeal as a foundational element of your channel.

      No one does it better when it comes to sailing with a very young family - no crew - taking on tough challenges. Ben and Ashley have so much fun with their children. This channel feels authentic, the real deal. Viewers love Willa and Bodhi too. 💫💫

You guys, my Favourite Canadian Ambassadors - really are, livin' the dream! God Bless you and yours. Fair winds and following seas.

    Ben, Ashley and Munchkins hi from Calgary. Congrats on another successful equator crossing and having King Neptune on board to gently haze and anoint those two cute new Shellbacks. Great parents you are. From that day forward in their lives whenever wherever they cross the equator as adults they will think of Mom and Dad and that special day. Parenting 101 at its finest you should be proud of yourselves. Hey I want to try that climbing net too much fun. The birds and their shit, I'm an Environmental Project Mgr. One of the most challenging issues to deal with humanly. However your doing all you can their crap rates up there with Roaches.

    What I love about you guys is you have the whole romance of the sea down. Especially you Ben… not sure if it’s the German side but other channels never get me as emotional.
    I so want to be sailing but I can’t yet. And my relief is You Tube channels.
    Yours is special.
    Thank you

    I absolutely love your channel. I give you a lot of praise for raising two young children on a boat. Seems like you have a down pat You should write a book on how to raise children at sea. Do the kids ever get seasick or do the adults ever get sea sick either? As always stay safe out there and God bless

    Thank you for sharing this amazing adventure with us. I am sorry you couldn't stop at the islands today. I wouldn't have either because of all the expenses and red tape. That's CRAZY! Anyway, I am glad you did the first time to experience it but I have a feeling you may stop there again at some point in your future sailing adventures. You both are such great parents to Willa and Bodie. I remember watching your videos when you were on your way to Canada to have Willa and Ben you were acting a bit strange. I mean that in a fun way, I believe Ashley was ready to have a baby, it was an easier adjustment for her than for you. However, watching today's video, I said out loud, Ben you have become such a GREAT dad! You are made for that role. You have all adjusted to sailing as a family SO well and the kids seem to love it. They have a lot of fun on the boat and meeting people from every country so easily at such a young age. Great job in every way to both of you. Give the kids a hug from this grandma in West Michigan on Lake Michigan.

    In "Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea", author Gary Kinder chronicles how Tommy Thompson while working for Mel Fisher on board a dredge in Florida, had a problem with sea bird quango accumulating and smelling to high heaven. Tommy hit on the idea of electrofying the top cable in the rigging that the birds landed on. He would throw a switch and off all the birds would fly! All was working fine till one old bird learned that if he lifted a foot, he wouldn't get zapped. Soon the rest of the flock followed suit and they were in bird poo again.
    So Tommy reversed the polarity of the rigging wires, and squawk off went the flock! Then the wise old bird learned to lift the other foot and that soon was picked up by the whole flock. Well so much for keeping the fowl off the wires and offal off the decks! It did offer a synchronized choras line of sea bird conga line that put to music was quite comical.

    Bluefooted boobies get their blue feet from carotenoid pigments in their diet of fresh fish, such as sardines and anchovies. The pigments are concentrated in the boobies' feet, where they modify the skin's aligned collagen structures to make the feet appear blue. The more concentrated the pigments, the more intense the blue color 💙. The Galapagos Islands are on my bucket list.
