Hey Everyone! Quick update from us!
I (Ben) am back at the boat in the tropics, working hard to get Nahoa ready. I’ve grinded, patched, massaged, and generally beaten her back into shape. I hope to splash in a couple days so unfortunately, no video today. Ashley and the kids will join me in a weeks time once Nahoa is ship shape and seaworthy again.
I do however want to take a second to THANK YOU for watching and following us. So much good stuff is coming this year. We can't wait to share!! ❤️

We are really struggling to publish our latest video on YouTube without restrictions (or take-downs), even after fully blurring our children. YouTube initially says “all good,” but then imposes restrictions as views increase. We’d super appreciate your support in any way you can;
1. Click on this (unlisted) video to help us test if completely blurred children are still flagged by YouTube; https://youtu.be/im5NVGZxjS0
2. We would love your support outside of YouTubes control! If you love this channel, please consider supporting us on Patreon. You get extra content like livestreams, Q&As and Realtime Updates. We don't know where this will lead and hope it's just temporary but these things seem to be happening regularly now on our channel. www.patreon.com/nahoa
THANK YOU to everyone here. We’ll figure this out and hope we won’t have to remove our children from videos entirely ❤️❤️❤️

We live an alternative life and as a result, comments are turned off on our latest video. EDIT: The video has been age-restricted and demonitized.
We’ve followed their guidelines by blurring Willa in certain scenes, but we refuse to exclude our kids from the videos completely. As a result, you may not see our videos, we won't earn any income from others and comments may be turned off at times. Know that if you post your comments here we will be sure to read them. Also know the kids live in a safe environment and are loved ❤️

OK, question for you. Lots of both good and bad comments about Ben's voiceovers. We want your vote to help us make a decision on where to take them... if anywhere!

CIRCUMNAVIGATION COMPLETE?
In just a few hours, we'll be arriving back in Grenada, officially completing our circumnavigation. We kind of can't believe it!
In 8 years we have battled countless squalls, 1 pandemic, boat breakdowns and added 2 crew members. It has been a roller coaster of dizzying highs and equally challenging lows.
When we started this circumnavigation, we assumed the wrath of the ocean would be the hardest part. Turns out that was the easy part. The true tests have been running low on funds, contending with endless boat breakdowns, dealing with the aging and eventual passing of parents, navigating a pandemic, and adding two children as crew and believing this, YouTube, would work out.
A massive THANK YOU to all of you for following, commenting and cheering us on! We would have never guessed in a million years that when we started we were actually embarking on a lifetime of travel.
We feel on top of the world right now. Cannot wait how the next years unfold.
(oh and stay tuned, the videos of our entire Atlantic crossing are starting next week. It's been an epic journey these last six weeks!)

Ten years ago, we left the corporate world, sold everything, and set sail to explore the world. Since then, we’ve sailed around the globe 1.5 times, raising our family aboard our boat. Now, we’re designing and building the Nahoa 55—an innovative aluminum catamaran for our next adventures.
