My partner and I have been cruising on our Outremer 5X ( 60’) for the past 5 years and we were in our mid 60’s when we started . Planing to downsize now though as it is getting a little more physical as we are now turn the corner and celebrated our 70th birthday
BTW. I was feeling like my plans were hopeless as I watched you go over all your gear and how much you were spending on the boat in previous videos. My budget is nothing like yours, and i'm on my own. I really needed to hear that I should still have hope. Thank you so much. :)
What an amazingly gorgeous area you are in now. I love your style of filming in which you do the walk and talk as you go about your day. It makes 20-minute question and answer vlogs so much more watchable. I wish more channels would adopt this method. Thanks for so openly sharing your lives with us!
You Guys are absolutely awesome! ... Please don't lose the dream. Keep them coming. I just love your whole combined adventurous philosophy. Thank you! for all the vicarious enjoyment you guys give me. Much appreciated. You rock.
Just wanted to let you guys know how valuable your videos are to people who are in the planning (dreaming?) phase. You are fun to watch and your videos are very entertaining but it's the detailed information you provide that makes you unique and a cut above the other channels. I've decided to become a patron because I really respect and admire your knowledge and experience and appreciate your willingness to share with us wannabes. It's easy to imagine you guys as one of the top channels in a couple years. So glad I found your channel. Cheers from snowy and freezing NJ, USA.
I found the most amazing thing about sailing at night was the luminescence in the wake, it is hypnotic. Like jewels cascading from under the stern of the boat..
Im excited to see your Philippine adventures. Here are my top recommendations on what to do and places to go in PH. - Siargao Island(Learn to surf and feel the island vibes). - Britania Islands - Bohol Island(See the chocolate hills - has to be on summer, see the smallest monkey) - Visit only if your nearby. - Coron - El nido - Palawan - Eat balut - Cebu (Southern part is full of waterfalls, about 50 of them but I would only recommend the biggest falls) * Aguinid Falls * Kawasan Falls * Inambakan Falls * Mantayupan Falls --- Badian Canyoneering ( A must thing to do) --- Oslob Swim Whale Sharks (A good youtube content about on how animals are used as a tourist attraction. Its a love and hate thing). There are a lot of things to do in PH, this is only just a small recommendation :) ENJOY, I love your sailing channel (Im a filipino btw).
I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks.. you make sailing around the world look very appealing! In true Canadian fashion, you make the world look like a amazing place; great outlook on things. It’s a good distraction from all the craziness in America right now.
Awe, you guys are awesome, bam, bam, bam something else, something else, how can you possibly get bored? You can’t, it’s hard keeping up with you! I understand how hard it must be in the middle of nowhere, but what you choose is the best! You are, hands down the best sailing channel there is! I told my nephew about your videos and he watches you too, makes for great conversation! Take care you two!!!
Sometimes the only greens are a pumpkin? Guess I need to do some sailing :) Love your channel and that cave was a bit spooky. Fair winds. Thank you for another great video.
I just started to watch your videos and recently subscribed 👋🏼🤗 I always wanted to try out sailing on catamaran and the vibe the positivity the feeling of freedom which is come through of ( at least for me ) every each videos I watched. It's amazing!!!
Been watching you guys for awhile now. I grew up not far from you guys in Sooke, currently on the other coast but I'm only about 5 years away from doing the same thing so your channel has been great for ideas and advice. Thanks to you both for keeping us entertained
You two are so dang cute together. I have been living/working in your country for nine months now, in -58C winter weather, and it is definitely driving me to stop this life style and get out there with you guys. Thanks for sharing so much info which helps make decision making much easier. Be blessed.
First of all, I wanted to extend my condolences to you Ben for the loss of your father. Having lost my dad a couple of years ago, I know what it is like to lose a parent. Secondly I wanted to shout out to all those who are viewing Ben and Ashley's videos. I can see that this one received 15,000 views, but only 1,300 pressed the "like" button. Come on guys, one of the ways you can support them is to tell them (and UA-cam itself) that you liked the video. It helps their search engine optimization (SEO) and helps their UA-cam channel overall. So don't be lazy and watch the video. Press that LIKE button!!! One of the costs of sailing around the world happens to be medical, and I have been wanting to bring up a subject to both of you for a while. I know you love to eat fresh-caught fish (and I have been really envious of you). But I've stopped eating a lot of fish (especially Tuna and Swordfish) because of the high mercury content. I've been doing a lot of research on mercury and suffice it to say, it is not pretty. Anyway, when I saw you guys eating Mahi I looked it up. And while it is not as high as tuna, it is in the middle of the pack on the list of fish containing mercury. And so I thought you might want to know. I thought you (and others out there with the same concern) also might be interested in knowing the mercury content of the fish you are eating. Here is the results of one study listing all the major commercially caught fish and their mercury content. www.fda.gov/food/foodborneillnesscontaminants/metals/ucm115644.htm All the best from cold and snowy Boston. Jim Andersen, Cat Boat Adventures, Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.
Cat Boat Adventures Yes you are correct and totally agree. Important is to learn all the fruits, herbs and veggies they can find around the islands. Fruits with flesh and if organic with seeds are extremely important for health and anti-aging. Especially if all animal meat is cut out. Everyone does need a Hawaii shirt. Let’s make it fashion again.
@@Kcoads Actually I am from Canton. My boat (and where my new UA-cam channel is based from) is Padanaram, South Dartmouth. Buzzards Bay is where I do most of my sailing. Sorry Dan and Ashley...shameless plug
@@capnbilll2913 Hi Can BillL. I think you are partially correct. But actually I think the mercury is all over the world now and is embedded in every fish in the ocean. But most particularly in the larger fish like tuna, swordfish etc, because they are at the top of the food chain. Again, Ben and Ashley should get their blood checked to see what concentration of mercury they have in their system. If it is high, it is very dangerous.
I love Canadians. You are a terrific couple seeming to complicate each other. Your videos are by far the best I have seen! I spent many years in Quebec, and have been in every province. Born in Maine on the Quebec border. I love to hear you say "Out and about". I have learned so much from just the few videos I have seen. I want to see all of them. My wife and 3 kids are where she grew up, Baguio City. I want to return with a Cat and you have answered so many questions I didnt even know to ask.
Hey Ben, Miss Ashley. Love your channel. You to have been a big inspiration in kicking me in the ass to live out my life time dream of living aboard. At 56 yrs i think its time. Am looking for that right vessel.. ( fingers crossed ) Love your 410 and what you have done to her.. Safe travels you two. And many more worderful adventures..
When u cruise a love doing it of course, u r in the here and now most of the time...that's the main secret which is no secret at all..nothing is taken for granted ..from water, food, Nature, etc...love nahoa videos because you really enjoy every minute of it...bests
I love you guys! I love your videos! I love the fact that I catch myself smiling after every video! I know boats and have been around boats all my life but have absolutely no idea how to sail. Yet my wife and I will do this when we retire. Thank you for the inspiration and insight!! P.s. I would just love the extra hair to actually have a bad haircut.
Total honesty... I didn't care for Nahoa videos at first. You guys are awesome though and I have quickly changed my tune. Keep up the amazing videos... You two rock!
Nice job...Good solid information...thanks...Question: What about security in a 3rd world marina?...Particularly if you need to get back home for a week or two...Thanks again for sharing...
Super enjoy watching you two. Great vibrations you guys. If someone walked on my boat and had the passion for navigation, route planning and just passionate about sailing and maintaining the dang boat....Id be in Pirate heaven. . Enjoy each other. Thanks.
How much does it cost to sail around the world... answer at 15:04. Thanks for being upfront with this question. 💰 I haven't watch all your episodes but the answer to the above questions and your video on fishing was extremely helpful! You guys are awesome... Canadians ! 🇨🇦 👍 All the best with the little one!
you guys just nailed it! That's what it is. we learned that it will cost pretty much the same like not sailing around the world. One lives on 10k a month in the regular life and will have a hard time to make it trough the month with less than that. The other was used to a 1k and will struggle with less than 500 but being cool with 2k which would be a disaster for the first dude. So it's all about what we are used to and how far we wanna get out of our comfort zone. But I love your sight on that specialy on the fear thing which is somehow related. Thanks for sharing.
Very refreshing to watch your videos! Funny about her cutting your hair. When I was a.student at USC I used to cut my friends hair...looking back, I don't know why he trusted I could do that lol I also realized later he liked me. Your hair llooks.fine, we can't tell it needs any fixing 😀
Food and beer are the bigest expense!! Im buying a catamaran tomorrow!!!! Your trip and your journey is amazing love watching your vids wish and hope to do it also somday.
from someone who has spent alot of time driving commercial ships around SE asia, Pay attention to your pirate reports they do exist. commercial shipping we cant see you, fibreglass and sails give a crap radar reflection, put a radar reflector up the mast. fish traps the local fisherman put random fish traps everywhere they are usually big logs and they are solid. most of the container ships and tankers cruising around up there are being driven by guys that get paid 5 grand a year they will not go around you, stay out of there way, their not paid enough to care. Besides all of that its an awesome place everything is cheap and I know alot of people pull their boats out of the water in Batam as its so cheap to do it there. have fun
You guys!! Great q and a! You guys always have great information but this was the most entertaining as well!! Most are two people just sitting in front of a camera and talking. Thank you❤️
Hi guys. Been watching your channel as well as a few other about see living. My wife and I are thinking of selling everything and retiring on the water and seing the world. My question is. Will airoponics work on a sail boat for vegetable?
1:45- i have never fallen asleep that easily. im lucky as hell if i can fall asleep less than an hour after laying down, and it can take up to 4 hours for me to fall asleep on a normal day, and i usually can't sleep more than 30min at a time. this is just 1 more reason i need to get out of the desert and onto my own boat.
you where talking about a plane and propeller, but the clip you showed immediately following was a boat. I was hoping to see the plane as I USED to have a fascination with WW2 military aircraft. Buffet DOES have a love of Hawaiian print shirts.
In Canada you have to have a license to operate the VHF radio (it's the law). You also need your pleasure craft license to operate any boat (online open book course).
Yea we have both of those certificates. VHF was good to learn how to talk properly on the radio. Not sure I can say the same about the pleasure craft license....seemed like a low bar...,
my missus cuts my hair EXACTLY the same....leaves way too much on the top. trust me...in about 15 days you will start to look like Kramer from Seinfeld. yep....and you're wearing the ballcap already....same as me. oh well...the price is right i guess. anyways...that was a nice episode. you guys continue to amaze me by how natural you are in front of your cameras. it's always a nice experience watching your channel. when are you coming to thailand? i'd love to buy you a beer or 9.
Love the way you guys did this Q&A! A lot of my other sailing faves do them static, just sitting there talking to the camera, no imagination used, blah blah blah Great job! Though I think you kind of ducked the subject of YOUR actual boat maintenance costs...
Gotta pay to play. They probably have a lot of passive income. They do not include property tax on their place(s) back home, and all of those extra costs.
Wonderful episode and answers. World cruising sounds expensive. I'm cruising in Bahamas and food is expensive or scarce on some islands. Thankfully I like pasta and beans and rice. LOL.
best thing I can think of is having internet access and a nice laptop and being a computer programmer or tester, you can literally work from home and sail around the world and make a killing from your salary to begin with, but consider, it costs 40k-80k a year after you purchase the yacht per year. Which tbh isnt bad at all! I need to save more money lol. I love your videos! thank you!
You guys should took the navagation course at palau community collage..that course teaches you not to use CAMPAS and GPS but use wind and stars to navigate in big open ocean..
I would imagine that there is no way to plan absolutely everything on these epic voyages. You’ll probably just end up winging a lot of the stuff and dealing with the situations and scenarios as you encounter them. The most admirable part is the courage to take the leap and realize that risk and pleasure always go hand in hand. The trick is to be experienced enough to mitigate the risks without destroying the fun. It’s also fair to say that this is not an undertaking for a couple that suffers from major personality clashes and irreconcilable incompatibilities. You really need to love or at least seriously like someone, enjoy their company in close quarters for extended periods of time, and trust in their abilities, good sense, and judgment, before sharing an experience of this nature.
Have you guys answered any questions on how you afford the upkeep and everything without working for 3-4 years? This has been a dream of mine for years and years and I really hope I can do this someday!
you guys should get a splash drone you can just land in the water if you wanted to instead of having to catch it plus if it takes a tumble in the water its safe and it floats.
How do you actually get in on a country without passing through immigration stuff like we usually do in airports? Or do you just anchor in and as long as no one questions you, you're fine? curious little cat here if you ask
🤔me too. I also missed the question segment even thou I watch religiously. None the less, great stuff and thanks for answering all of those questions. It really puts thing into perspective...
What do you at night when it is time to sleep while sailing? Do you put on the auto pilot and continue to sail? Thanks for all the awesome information and videos!
My partner and I have been cruising on our Outremer 5X ( 60’) for the past 5 years and we were in our mid 60’s when we started . Planing to downsize now though as it is getting a little more physical as we are now turn the corner and celebrated our 70th birthday
I can give you a help ^^ if you want to. I would love to travel
Congratulations sir. Not on downsizing, but on being able to live a life that almost nobody else is able to realize. Power to you
I’m sure there are plenty of young lads out there who would love to help you out... the bigger the boat the smoother the ride.
@@khaias7822 yea id honestly love it i rarely travel
Arthur Afond thats a damn nice boat.
You guys have the best chemistry and are funny as heck. Always look forward to a new video.
That's the only way a couple could survive living at sea for years
BTW. I was feeling like my plans were hopeless as I watched you go over all your gear and how much you were spending on the boat in previous videos. My budget is nothing like yours, and i'm on my own. I really needed to hear that I should still have hope. Thank you so much. :)
You love Philippines to drop by and its good to have you both in our beautiful country..
You two are so compatible. Seriously, your personalities complement each other perfectly.
you two make a great team
and make the best sailing videos
whoever-s in charge of editing gets an A+
What an amazingly gorgeous area you are in now. I love your style of filming in which you do the walk and talk as you go about your day. It makes 20-minute question and answer vlogs so much more watchable. I wish more channels would adopt this method. Thanks for so openly sharing your lives with us!
Y'all too funny... Great chemistry, I smile and laugh which lightens my day in friggen frozen Minnesota. Love the videos and information.
You Guys are absolutely awesome! ... Please don't lose the dream. Keep them coming. I just love your whole combined adventurous philosophy. Thank you! for all the vicarious enjoyment you guys give me. Much appreciated. You rock.
You guys are amazing. I have never spent so much time in youtube, but I can't quit watching now.
What did you both do before being a sailors? This looks incredible CONGRATULATIONS for making your dreams a reality!

- Siargao Island(Learn to surf and feel the island vibes).
- Britania Islands
- Bohol Island(See the chocolate hills - has to be on summer, see the smallest monkey) - Visit only if your nearby.
- Coron
- El nido
- Palawan
- Eat balut
- Cebu (Southern part is full of waterfalls, about 50 of them but I would only recommend the biggest falls)
* Aguinid Falls
* Kawasan Falls
* Inambakan Falls
* Mantayupan Falls
--- Badian Canyoneering ( A must thing to do)
--- Oslob Swim Whale Sharks (A good youtube content about on how animals are used as a tourist attraction. Its a love and hate thing).
There are a lot of things to do in PH, this is only just a small recommendation :)

Just found out your from Vancouver - Victoria Very fun watching you guys live the dream we all want

This is FUNNY, and sooo true.
So true!
Nelson Pou Hello
Original content. Love it.
Unless you get another bad haircut ☹
I dont know why I'm watching your vlogs but it is entertaining. I can't even see myself sailing around the world 😅😅😅 You guys are brave souls
congrats guys, 50,000 subs. sign of good content.
look forward to future plans and stay safe
This was the best Q and A video I've seen for sailing. Thanks, guys
So glad I can live my boat life through watching your channel♡♡
Absolutely the most fun, fast-paced and informative sailing vlog !! Others are good for sure, yet you guys are amazing !!!!! 😊👍👌🤘⛵️🚣⚓️🍷✨
I 100% agree with you, Great Channel!
Excellent video, Ashley you remind me of someone who was adopted, French Canadian, who lives in Westbrook, CT.
Nice job...Good solid information...thanks...Question: What about security in a 3rd world marina?...Particularly if you need to get back home for a week or two...Thanks again for sharing...

Regardless of the price you spent on your travel. The experience and the memories are priceless

Thank you Ben and Ash, what can I say, awesome........love your style and the adventure
How much does it cost to sail around the world... answer at 15:04. Thanks for being upfront with this question. 💰
I haven't watch all your episodes but the answer to the above questions and your video on fishing was extremely helpful! You guys are awesome... Canadians ! 🇨🇦 👍
All the best with the little one!
Sounds about $80,000 per year for them. Half on the boat.
Taking copious notes, have been thinking about this for a long time.
you folks could be motivational speakers..I can be in a funk mood until I log in to watch your amazing videos.
Hi! My husband and I love watching all of your videos! We are curious? Why did you officially purchase your boat in the Bahamas? Best regards!
I don't think you guys ever commented on your wind generator. Do you like that, and would you buy it again (or another one)?
you guys just nailed it! That's what it is. we learned that it will cost pretty much the same like not sailing around the world.

You simply make the best videos. The other sailing channels could learn a thing or two watching your videos
Turn that flag right side up, scumbag.
Very refreshing to watch your videos! Funny about her cutting your hair. When I was a.student at USC I used to cut my friends hair...looking back, I don't know why he trusted I could do that lol I also realized later he liked me. Your hair llooks.fine, we can't tell it needs any fixing 😀
"You're holding the camera..." "it's right on your face dumb ass" you two are the absolute best, great ambassadors for Canada.
Food and beer are the bigest expense!! Im buying a catamaran tomorrow!!!! Your trip and your journey is amazing love watching your vids wish and hope to do it also somday.

Great video folks and I like your boat. I am planning to buy one next year if things work out. Selling equipment now. Take care and sail safe.
Love you guys! Great episode! Can't wait for the next :)
$10000 on beer that's what I would spend a year ,good vids keep em coming!!!
you're in Palau -that's awesome.
You guys!! Great q and a! You guys always have great information but this was the most entertaining as well!! Most are two people just sitting in front of a camera and talking. Thank you❤️
You guys are on my favorite channel list keep it up I love it
The phantom drone is pretty tricky to launch from a boat, because it won't aquire a "lock" when the boat is moving/pitching
Who hooo look forward to your videos
While sailing are you able to foresee a storm before it comes and if so what do you guys do to avoid one.
Hi guys. Been watching your channel as well as a few other about see living. My wife and I are thinking of selling everything and retiring on the water and seing the world.
My question is. Will airoponics work on a sail boat for vegetable?

you where talking about a plane and propeller, but the clip you showed immediately following was a boat. I was hoping to see the plane as I USED to have a fascination with WW2 military aircraft.

How do you guys come up with ideas for your videos!? Best Q&A ever!
Ben and Ashley you guys are Amazing... I am a new Fan...💕 You both are an inspiration of Love and Adventure...💕 More videos and blessings...💕
In Canada you have to have a license to operate the VHF radio (it's the law). You also need your pleasure craft license to operate any boat (online open book course).
Yea we have both of those certificates. VHF was good to learn how to talk properly on the radio. Not sure I can say the same about the pleasure craft license....seemed like a low bar...,
Defender! Work five minutes from it, drove past it today .... and I spend a lot of money there too! Great place.
my missus cuts my hair EXACTLY the same....leaves way too much on the top.
trust me...in about 15 days you will start to look like Kramer from Seinfeld.
yep....and you're wearing the ballcap already....same as me. oh well...the price is right i guess.
anyways...that was a nice episode. you guys continue to amaze me by how natural you are in front of your cameras. it's always a nice experience watching your channel.
when are you coming to thailand? i'd love to buy you a beer or 9.
Love the way you guys did this Q&A! A lot of my other sailing faves do them static, just sitting there talking to the camera, no imagination used, blah blah blah Great job! Though I think you kind of ducked the subject of YOUR actual boat maintenance costs...
Gotta pay to play. They probably have a lot of passive income. They do not include property tax on their place(s) back home, and all of those extra costs.
You are great at teaching
The best teacher is experience is indeed
Love the way you guys do questions!
Wonderful episode and answers. World cruising sounds expensive. I'm cruising in Bahamas and food is expensive or scarce on some islands. Thankfully I like pasta and beans and rice. LOL.
best thing I can think of is having internet access and a nice laptop and being a computer programmer or tester, you can literally work from home and sail around the world and make a killing from your salary to begin with, but consider, it costs 40k-80k a year after you purchase the yacht per year. Which tbh isnt bad at all!
I need to save more money lol. I love your videos! thank you!
You guys should took the navagation course at palau community collage..that course teaches you not to use CAMPAS and GPS but use wind and stars to navigate in big open ocean..
Do you work while on board cruising? Do you also have an internet connection on the boat?
I would imagine that there is no way to plan absolutely everything on these epic voyages. You’ll probably just end up winging a lot of the stuff and dealing with the situations and scenarios as you encounter them. The most admirable part is the courage to take the leap and realize that risk and pleasure always go hand in hand. The trick is to be experienced enough to mitigate the risks without destroying the fun. It’s also fair to say that this is not an undertaking for a couple that suffers from major personality clashes and irreconcilable incompatibilities. You really need to love or at least seriously like someone, enjoy their company in close quarters for extended periods of time, and trust in their abilities, good sense, and judgment, before sharing an experience of this nature.
I just subscribed your channel!!love ur video from Philippines 🇵🇭
I prefer, very much, the Annie's Rice Mac and Cheese over the regular kind. Way better texture. Another great, informative episode.
Night passages are great! I love star gazing. Good video.
Have you guys answered any questions on how you afford the upkeep and everything without working for 3-4 years? This has been a dream of mine for years and years and I really hope I can do this someday!
Man I missed the questions session but still love every single video of Nahoa!
you guys should get a splash drone you can just land in the water if you wanted to instead of having to catch it plus if it takes a tumble in the water its safe and it floats.
How do you actually get in on a country without passing through immigration stuff like we usually do in airports? Or do you just anchor in and as long as no one questions you, you're fine? curious little cat here if you ask
Hi I’m new to the channel but I love it already, keep it up.
🤔me too. I also missed the question segment even thou I watch religiously. None the less, great stuff and thanks for answering all of those questions. It really puts thing into perspective...
Thanks for visiting my island 🇵🇼

Where do you get water for your water maker? Ocean water?
What do you at night when it is time to sleep while sailing? Do you put on the auto pilot and continue to sail? Thanks for all the awesome information and videos!
