I follow over a HOUNDRED sailing channels....this episode might be my favorite of all time. Thank you. This is going to be the first episode I ever share on Facebook. It was awesome. Love you guys, thanks from Olympia, WA, US.
Sailing Nahoa don’t change anything, I think this one was a freak experience that just happened and you guys just happened to get it all on film. I love that it was an amazing hour on your lives that you could share with the rest of us. And it was amazing, thanks.
I couldn’t stop smiling from the minute they stepped on your boat. Their innocence to the world is captivating. I kept thinking about my children and how they need more of that. Thank you for capturing and sharing that moment. You made my day, my week, and I won’t forget this video for a while. Great job guys.
Greetings from Barbados! What a wonderful group of young men. So polite and so appreciative. They really touched you two. That was awesome. Good on you guys. Safe voyage.
These are the most beautiful respectful children ever....just beautiful to see. Happiness in their eyes is just catching....love, love,love......brilliantly beautiful!!!
Absolutely Awesome! Sounds like is was so powerful for you, words can not describe. The smiles on everyone's face spoke what you were trying to articulate.
As usual, your videos are the best ones of ANY sailing videos on RUclips!!!! The video, the music and most of all, the sincerity of both of you make these a MUST watch for each time a new edition hits my screen! This one may be your best one ever! The boys were precious and their innocence and joy with the little things in life really brought me smiles. Keep doing what you are doing and I wouldn't change a thing in your presentation, style or content. Thanks for being the class of the sailing video genre!
I watch all the popular sailing channels that I love, but this was so awesome... I started watching recently, but now definitely after this type of content... I was heart warming... thanks a lot for sharing
Such a cool video guys! You had me tearing up! We take so much for granted in our lives, yet to those young fellas it was a great adventure. they will remember their day with you two for a long time to come. I have always been amazed at the people of the islands, they have so little, but are more than willing to share it all with you. A great story team. We have had our boat on the hard at Norsand for a couple of weeks, getting her ready for the summer. Back up the coast next weekend to the Bay of Islands. Cheers. Wade.
This was the most awesome video ever! Both groups would have come away from this day beaming from the experience. Good on you both for embracing their curiosity!
Human Connection is very significant. Kids allows you to see the world through their eyes with the young enthusiasm and wonder. I have watched this 3 times. Excellent episode.
My wife and I started watching your videos about 7 days ago. We just saw this one. OMG very touching. REALLY enjoyed the two of you spending time with the boys.. AWESOME!!!!
Wow, just WOW ! You made their day, week, month with just a little bit of kindness and it's SO nice to see appreciate children - just goes to show what great parenting they have ! And bet they made YOUR day too - lucky you that they interrupted your plans !
Made my day. Bet you both in 20 years this day will still be foremost in your memories out of all the others. What wonderful and polite children. They have nothing and yet the have everything too.
True, it's the little moments that surprise us and make us enjoy life. Moments like these, lived pro videos. I like the content created by you here in the channel, I always follow here from Brazil. Good winds and more times like this.
I only wish I could give you 10 thumbs up as you nailed it at the end. YES...YES..YES..it's that special moment you shared with perfect strangers from a far way land. I actually got tears in my eyes as if I was there saying goodbye to them. This is exactly what I want to experience when sailing!!! Good job guys and a really fun film!!! Love U! PEACE OUT! Ü (Steven)
Phenomenal! You got to experience the innocence and precociousness of childhood that is lacking in so much of society nowadays. Thank you for sharing this seemingly insignificant moment (which we all recognize was anything but). 👏
Magic I say. Your channel speaks to things far more basic than sailing. What a great adventure and you are awesome ambassadors from the western world. Keep up the great work.
These boys remind us of the kid in all of us. At one time or another we were just like them. Full of curiosity and adventure, looking for something fun to do. Sometime it's good to be a kid for a day and laugh, play, and sing. Thanks for sharing!
Wow...beautiful video...beautiful moments. Those kids were the stars. You guys made great memories for those kids. As musch as you went forget that special moment, I'm sure won't forget either. Amazing video.
Best cruising video ever! They were so exuberant yet so polite too! Thanks for sharing. Loved the way the little guy slipped his hand back on the tiller after the boss guy told him it wasn’t his turn.
Only subscribed the other week so ive been catching up on your videos an this upload made me smile the most, fancy doing a welcome song for you, makes you see the other side of humanity an the world, safe sailing an much love from England 🏴🇨🇦
........ watching children experience, explore, investigate new things is so cool ... seeing how they process and react ... awesomeness ... thx for sharing .... have fun be safe, save our oceans .... . PS.. grew up in Victoria by the way .. smilin ..
I think it is pretty safe to say that those boys will remember both of you as long as they live. I can only hope that other people who sail in will be such gracious hosts to them as you where. Great video.
When I lived in Nigeria 40 years ago I had three little kids visit me on a regular basis. I had no video or movie cam but I do have wonderful memories. It was like nieces and nephews coming to see me. I had a lot of fun with those little ones! Good on ya for this one!
The two of you are so inspirational! You made the day for those boys, a day I am sure they will never forget. This is NOT a little moment, and it is significant. Cherish it!
This is the best video I have seen in a long time. It lifted my spirit and made me smile. It was like the kids of mayberry with an island flair. I am perplexed why19 people gave it a thumbs down. I guess they have no sole.
That was soooooooo cooooool & just a great genuine moment with total strangers. A lifetime memory for both you and the kids. Thank you for sharing!!!!!
Ahh Ben and Ashley, you make me even MORE proud - to be a Canadian! I think you two are a shining examples of what Canadian Ambassadors should be! I discovered your channel several months ago - and subscribed after the first one. I think I've 'liked' every one since but I think this one is my favourite to date. I've watched it several times and cannot stop smiling through the whole thing. I'm not sure you will see this comment - been a long time since you've posted this and I know you are back touring northern BC again. Your adventures and journey are great but what truly makes them special - and stand out from other 'sailing channels' is you two! You can't fake that enthusiasm and spirit. I wish you well and pray that you find fair winds and calm waters as you get back to Nahoa and continue your epic adventure. PS - We've met Willa in more recent videos - she is adorable. Not sure who is luckier... her, or you two. Please, keep doing what you're doing. Your videos make my day - and alter the lives of so many others in such a positive way!
This is so happy and playful. I love how they showed you how to play your pate drum. You two are just an incredible inspiration, thank you so much for being awesome! :)
Fantastic interaction, possibly the best video I’ve seen out of the dozen sailing channels I follow. Those little moments are truly immeasurable in the amount of goodwill that is shared by all involved, inclusive of us viewers!
We as adults have moved so far away from being a child that we forget what it means to be a child. Taking a risk, going for a swim, meeting strangers, singing and not caring, exploring with wonder, learning something new. We spend most of our adult lives suppressing our inner-child, but when we allow the child to come out...we smile, laugh and love. You both engaged and let your inner-child out and your soul was filled. Cheers to both of you
Makes you wonder what the world would be like without borders and stupid wars. Awesome that you guys saw something really good and documented it. Amazing how those kids could make their own fun without an IPHONE or video game..lucky kids if you ask me.
Just found this channel but so far this is possibly my favorite video. Such pure joy on their faces the entire time, just good honest happiness. Need more of that in this world and you guys gave that to them without a second thought. Kudos.
They seem to know the way of the world as the internet exists everywhere out here! But still there is an innocence to the children out here that we so enjoy. They are so much fun :). -- ash
There is definitely a difference. They seem to have a maturity beyond their years. The way they sing together... there's an undeniable connection to their culture, their elders... it shows. It's something we don't have here.
I have been binge watching you guys over the last couple of days and have to say the people haven't changed in Fiji since I was there over 30 years ago. It brought back a lot of memories from when I was a kid there and showing them my face mask and snorkel as the never saw anything like it back then and when I left I gave it to them as we were cruising back home to Australia. These are memories I will never forger and I was re living it watching your video. Thanks guys respect!
You made a memory for those kids they will probably never forget...Thanks!
Funny thing is that they both will probably never forget it :)
I follow over a HOUNDRED sailing channels....this episode might be my favorite of all time. Thank you. This is going to be the first episode I ever share on Facebook. It was awesome. Love you guys, thanks from Olympia, WA, US.
That’s a lot of sailing channels! Thanks Kass. A lot of our viewers liked this one. We’ll try to create some more of these.
Sailing Nahoa don’t change anything, I think this one was a freak experience that just happened and you guys just happened to get it all on film. I love that it was an amazing hour on your lives that you could share with the rest of us. And it was amazing, thanks.
This is quite possibly my favorite video out of all sailing channels...ever. You guys are great!
😊 thank you
"tattoo you get in your village Canada?"
I couldn’t stop smiling from the minute they stepped on your boat. Their innocence to the world is captivating. I kept thinking about my children and how they need more of that.

Thank you 😊.
These significant little things that you capture and share with the world sets you apart from other Chanels.. Well done...! Loved it twice.
D AM
I was just gonna say the same thing but you worded it differently but said it just perfect 👌
That was nice change from the normal sailing stuff. Great to see two cultures interacting with nothing but joy.
The best video so far. Those boys had the time of there life on your boat. The vacuum part was hilarious

@ Sea Travel, My EXACT Thoughts Sir!!!!
I knew you would like Fiji. And, unsurprisingly, the Fijians seem to like you as well. One of your best videos, for sure!
As usual, your videos are the best ones of ANY sailing videos on RUclips!!!!

Loved this - Experiences like these are what make traveling - You for sure gave those kids memories that will last their entire lives as well. Cheers.
Priceless 🤙🏼

The beauty's in the breakdown......every momment by momment.
what a unique experience.
It’s the moments that change the world. Those young men will never forget the time spent on your boat.
Kids are universal. They need entertainment, food and water. Not necessarily in that order. Thank you Ben and Ashley!😊
Beautiful 😍 My wife and I sat a smiled through the whole video. Very special 😎
That was Freaking Awesome !! You guys Rock! That's how you change lives! They will never forget the visit to your boat.
So sweet. That's something you don't see often on these sailing channels. So cool! Thanks for sharing.

Money could have never bought that experience and interaction... Priceless...
Made my day. Bet you both in 20 years this day will still be foremost in your memories out of all the others. What wonderful and polite children. They have nothing and yet the have everything too.

Notice how native kids on islands have perfectly straight and white teeth😁 No junkfood👍
happy kids just make ya feel so good and the young one are so inquisitive , just love it
That is a day that 5 special people will never forget!
Magic I say. Your channel speaks to things far more basic than sailing. What a great adventure and you are awesome ambassadors from the western world. Keep up the great work.
This truly put a smile on my face, God bless you guys!
Guys best ever video. Camera work, the colours, the innocence and the fabulous smiles of the boys- just great. Lucky you!!!!

Innocence is a Devine magical feeling and you guys where blessed with those kids visit.
Antonio, the 18 wheeler
That was “AWESOME”. Thank you for sharing that video. We forget sometimes how these small interactions have such a lasting impact.
This was maybe the most authentic genuine display of why we all travel. Thank you for sharing that with us. You guys are the greatest!
You guys made those boys day! love it.
I think it is pretty safe to say that those boys will remember both of you as long as they live. I can only hope that other people who sail in will be such gracious hosts to them as you where. Great video.
It's not the destination that is important, it's the journey's experiences along the way you'll cherish and remember forever. Fair winds!
Of all the sailing videos out there, your’s are the most like .. enjoying things like kids would. Fresh. Always make me smile 😊
Thank you 😊.
It's the impact we have on each other that make up the significant days of our lives. Thanks for sharing yours with us!
When I lived in Nigeria 40 years ago I had three little kids visit me on a regular basis. I had no video or movie cam but I do have wonderful memories. It was like nieces and nephews coming to see me. I had a lot of fun with those little ones!
Good on ya for this one!

You say, "Thanks for watching." We say, "Thanks for sharing!" Just another awesome video!
Wonderful! It's making the connection which is so special I think. What a gift you gave them and they gave you.
Best sailing video I've seen in the last year. Wonderful storytelling. You let them be them and they changed you both!
Ahh Ben and Ashley, you make me even MORE proud - to be a Canadian! I think you two are a shining examples of what Canadian Ambassadors should be!

Herzerwärmend!!! Thank you very much.
Too funny... Those kids cracked me up. I've wondered what it would be like to grow up out there like that.
They seem to know the way of the world as the internet exists everywhere out here! But still there is an innocence to the children out here that we so enjoy. They are so much fun :). -- ash
There is definitely a difference. They seem to have a maturity beyond their years. The way they sing together... there's an undeniable connection to their culture, their elders... it shows. It's something we don't have here.
Sharing cultures! Great video you two! Kids were real cute and so excited to be there. You Rock!
This made my heart glow! that's what the precious moments of life are all about. you two see it
That was a very refreshing video! Those kids will never forget that day.
What a wonderful experience.. traveling food for the soul!
Warms the cockles of my heart. Lovely.
Totally awesome video. Toys, things, places are great. But life is truly all about people. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome kids and your care for them was inspiring. They won’t forget.
Those kids are amazing! They can do things that kids in urban setting can only dream of doing.
I have been binge watching you guys over the last couple of days and have to say the people haven't changed in Fiji since I was there over 30 years ago.
