Ben and Ashley personify an old adage.
"Some people go through life with their eyes closed. Some people go through life with their eyes partially opened. Some people go through life, occasionally opening their eyes fully. Then there are the very few people who go through life with their eyes fully open all the time, taking in the wonders of the world and appreciating everything that they're seeing."
Ben and Ashley remind me of my parents, when we were sailing in the South Pacific, near Indonesia (far too long ago to want to admit). They told me, "Do what you want to do, but be certain that it is truly what you desire to be doing, and don't hurt anyone, especially yourself."
This advice can never be forgotten, and Sailing Nahoa proves this every day, as they are teaching this philosophy by example, and not only with words.
Thank you for sharing your incredible life and world view.

Why do sailing around the world? Because no beautiful family can show the beautiful seas, oceans, countries, and islands like your channel can. Your adventure is appreciated by millions of people who can't sail. So we are very thankful to have experienced it all without going through all the hardships and just enjoying the adventure with your family. So again, thank you for doing it for all of us. Just please always stay safe and don't take too much risk. Praying always for God's protection for your family. God bless you and have a joyful and safe voyage.
🎉❤🥰🙏🙏🙏

First here to say, keep living your lives! Some people are afraid of their shadow... some rightfully should be.

Thanks for your video you two! I'm praying for your journey across the ocean, hope this finds Willa feeling much better and the rest of you in good health. You are never alone, God is everywhere believe it or not, it's a fact.

[MrRob]

That was a really cool refuelling service!!

Your family is one of the few sailing/traveling YouTubers I enjoy watching because of the love and respect you show everyone and everywhere you go. With regard to the point someone made about you being "safe in harbor so why climb the mountainside" as well, and to that I say "What is the point of sailing/traveling to new locations if you aren't going to explore them?"
Also, children (and adults) are going to get sick and they will get bumps and bruises no matter where you're at... So the real question then is this, " Are you going to let fear control your life, or are you going to take that leap?"

In 1989 we crossed the Atlantic from Cape Verde to Barbados, a 20-day passage. It had felt like a big responsibility, taking Tropic Moon across the ocean. But once I understood how tireless she was, going on for hour after hour, day after day, regardless of the conditions, it was like having a weight lifted from my shoulders. In fact, I realized we couldn't actually take her anywhere, but she could take us there. As I remarked to Ed, we could jump overboard and, with our twin headsails/autopilot/wind vane all set for the downwind passage, Tropic Moon would most likely arrive in the Caribbean all by herself. Half way through that passage, I stood on deck, turning in a circle. We were more than 1000 miles in distance from any land. It was quite a feeling. Part of why people sail is for these kind of experiences.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful places. We will keep praying for your safe travels. Stay safe. God bless your travels! 🎉❤🥰🙏🙏🙏

Your production of videos document the journey, the adventure and show it is still possible in our world. Your interaction with people around the world confirms that the vast majority of people are the same in Canada, the US and Indonesia or Africa. You help keep the dreams alive in people . Thank you both. Stay safe. All the best, Hal

Another awesome adventure. I can’t think of anything more fulfilling than completing a passage then hiking to the highest part of the land you just set anchor in. Also giving your kids that opportunity is absolutely amazing. You’re creating unforgettable memories exploring our beautiful earth. Keep on sailing on and showing everyone, including your children the world. Life shouldn’t be boring!

Good afternoon Nahoa family, good to see you again

[DYoung-vtpq]

So sorry Willa was sick. Hope all is well now. Safe travels! ❤️

[Godofthemoon]

Your doing great as parent’s don’t let dumb comments from people scared of their own shadow ruin the best time of your lives

[DueTeste]

Great Commentary guys, gives us a perspective on your trials everyday.

Ben. Another way to help with chafe is to wrap whatever the sail or line is rubbing against with UHMW tape. Its very low cx of friction lets the sail/line slide across. Sure to find it in Brazil😊 Fair winds and following seas.

[scottslate]

Ben, you are such a word smith! I can’t explain how much I appreciate your commentary. You state things so eloquently and clearly with such a great flair.
Have been a fan and viewer since you headed into the Panama Canal and haven’t missed a post since. My wife and I throughly enjoy your work.

[unplug]

Life is only worth it if you take chances and adventure where others would not…

[troybrooks]

You guys have been inspiring the shit out of me for years now! Please keep it up for say….forever? 😊 I learn so much from you guys and your adventures that I would never have the opportunity to living in Nebraska, USA. What you guys are doing for your kids will surely pay dividends when they’re older. I pray for a safe passage to Brazil!

[cbc]

The mid and Northern Atlantic is very warm this season creating many tropical storms. Please be cautious, which i know you are, as you continue to Brazil. Stay safe 🙏

Living vicariously through your adventures but totally understand your worry Ashley. Hope Willa feels better soon!
