[Louis]

Thanks so much for organising this! we learnt a lot! I'm so ready for the second attempt!! just tell me when 😀

[doke]

The edit of Nate’s dumbfounded face with Kara saying “And Nate…has a good attitude”, almost made me pee my pants.

[discovertheworld]

The footage with the 3 guys on board waving the flags and the sunset was amazing!!

[GaigeActual]

These are the videos I live for! Unexpected chaos, the struggle, the friendship, the overwhelming amount of HONESTY OMG it’s such a breath of fresh air. You guys created a masterpiece with this one. I love to see you guys overcome the obstacles as a team as a family. Genuine people, genuine scenarios, genuine outcomes. God bless you all and hope to see more content like this.

[VanessaIrene]

Kara your joy of not having to get into the water is everything lol 💜🤟🇨🇦😂

[PeterSF-nono]

I love the opposite stress levels of both Kara and Nate while in the car. Nate thinks is may be the first time he doesn't complete an adventure. Nate goes on to say he feels responsible for all of them being on this adventure. Kara on the other hand is "every one dresses so cute in England".

[an-thiennguyen]

love how the boat man was like "oh that was my phone" so chill

[eamonandbec]

The only thing better than living a spontaneous, somewhat abnormal life is having best friends to do it with!! Thanks for including me on this epic adventure. To be continued… 🫠👊🏼

[chronicity]

So many takeaways from this video!
1. They all have a great sense of humor, which is a lifesaver itself.
2. The way they all collaborate is inspiring, and shows how fun troubleshooting can really be.
3. How thankful I am Nate didn't have Kara do this!
4. How funny that the clip from Nate and the stove keeps popping up!
5. Some friendships might be sorely tested by something like this, but with these folks, it likely made their friendships stronger.
6. High score on the laugh scale for the whole video! Thanks guys, you crazy kids!

I’m in the middle of watching the video but I just wanted to say I literally LOVEEE when y’all, raya and Louis, kinging it, and eamon and bec, etc get together! It’s my favorite of videos to watch and honestly it turns into a comedy show 😂🩵

[yourascensionjourney]

I think that the boat issues were a God send. You all had gut instincts telling you not to do it, but kept going anyways, so Divine intervention had to step in. Im happier you are all safe. And I have to say when I saw you all with your flags surfing, it brought tears to my eyes in excitement and happiness that you are all still safe. Cherie in Canada!!

[zivagoldman]

First, when Kara says "...and Nate has a good attitude!" LOL, that was classic! Second, when the guys are all in the water, the sun is setting and they all have their flags flying in the wind... I loved that shot! Whoever thought of that idea gets a gold star!!! :)

[ynys_mon]

Oh my goodness, as a Brit it’s always been the mantra that the English Channel is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world.Glad you broke down before you got into the actual shipping lanes!

[JenSwarbrick]

From this end this looked like one of the most successful adventures you've ever had!
In a different way, of course, but those were some awesome memories made between friends!
What a story you'll have to tell in the future!

[dianaplanas]

Man, this was entertaining for sure!!! I’m so glad you all stayed cool, calm and collect it. It’s always about the adventure not the destination. Can’t wait to see the next attempt. Love you guys!!!

[ssjess]

2:00 a big moustache outside 😂😂 3:15 what is louis smelling on his hands 😂😂😂 15:20 kara was living her best life knowing she didn't have to get in the water 20:59 love the flag idea! How cool ❤

[beksromijn_]

Honestly the optimism from you guys is so inspiring. I love how you can turn anything around 😊 thanks for creating such a positive space on YouTube ❤

[Kathleenventura]

Loved seeing the three side-by-side versions of the same adventure with Eamon/Bec’s and Louis’ videos. Usually, you guys split the coverage of a given trip but seeing the three distinct styles of storytelling and video production was super cool. Also, this helped me realize how much I appreciate how informative your videos are because I watched Eamon’s video first and I found myself wondering what was going on/what was being attempted exactly (plans, distance, potential challenges)😆 Your vid answered all my questions!

[angeltravelstheworld]

It definitely is about the journey, not the destination. This video perfectly captures that well. What an experience.

[cindywernert]

I LOVE when you all get together. It’s so funny AND we get to see 3 different versions of the same fun adventures! Watching the guys riding into the sunset with their home flags unfurled gave me goosebumps!
