Don't Ever Grow Up,
Ben. Ashley. Willa. Bodhi.
Cape Town is my former hometown (Camps Bay to be exact). Enjoy the city and what it has to offer and good luck in your future endeavors!
Thank you all. It really has been a difficult year here and what's upcoming is going to be challenging; I get solace in being a tiny part of your family and living vicariously - through you - my favourite Canadian Ambassadors. You guys make me proud - every Sunday. Stay Safe. God's Speed.
We are humbled and grateful to hear that we have provided you with some comfort and joy during what has been a difficult year. It's truly an honor to have you as a part of our sailing family, and we appreciate your kind words about us being your favorite Canadian ambassadors.
@@SailingNahoa Thank you. Your family is just... special. You emulate what I think, it is to be Canadian. And that makes me very proud.
The fact that you get to live the life you do - is just 'sauce for the goose'. God Bless.
@@SailingNahoa I'm in the same boat (figuratively). As a lifelong Vancouver Island girl struggling with lots of challenges, I count on your videos to keep me grounded (again figuratively) and positive ❤️
THE PAIR OF YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZING! While other channels are simply on vacation 365 days a year on the back of patreon, you on the other hand are out there exploring and giving us fabulous content! THANK YOU NAHOA!
Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for being so transparent, kids, culture, natives, break downs, weather, repairs and life. I truly look forward to seeing the next episode and cheering on the Nahoa family in their next adventure. Take care of those repairs and safe travels.
I want you guy's to Kno this .... I admire your perseverance your Moxie an the Love!! And the just go do it ness you show... !!
Your channel has gotten me thru my own rough sea!! We have been homeless since the fire Feb 28,2020... It's sailing that's saved me .. I have to say .. it's the integrity of each sailor an the unconditional love I see in the faces of strangers... That makes me appreciate all you 4 do as a team!!
You both really inspired me to not give up on myself so I could survive these 3 years in a motel .. I chose Happiness... That dang simple!! An we push forward thru it all...
But Friday almost broke me completely after all the hard work of my partner these 3 years..! My son knocked on bathroom door.. Mummy Daddy color is blue... 😳 So I go (running tripping over my not pulled up pants) in he's blue drenched is sweat... I knuckle his center chest.. I barely get a response.. our son who's on the spectrum saw his Nana die suddenly in my arms from COPD.. The look on his face.. never want to see that...
So I call 911 after doing everything to get him in position to get air.. he was shallow breathing... Paramedics get here. An because we are homeless living in a motel they assume drugs.... I remember, Ashley how inspite of complete fear an fright you kept a balance an strength...So I explained what happened I assumed he had pneumonia mixed with him still smoking ciggies an working 6 days a week...!!! They put oxygen on him... An then off to hospital... Where it was found smoking an not stopping when told almost took him away from us... He has Emphysema beginning stages... So 5 days no ciggies.. an I quit too!!
Guy's I tell you all this to tell you ... The things you go thru an the thing's you say do not fall opon deaf ears... Those lesson's you've shown an the introspection it hits me .I hear you an even at 54...
I'm grateful for sailing channels..it's all I want to do again...I miss the sea...
So I've been squirreling away money for a vessel... I just want to get to Aruba...my sister an family live there......
Thanks for sharing your lives with us and inspiring us to be better...do better an see the world if only thru your camera lens. ... This old salt will happily be there✌🏼💗😊⛵
Ps.
They thought we were druggies cuz we had narcan boxes of it.. I do outreach from this rm .. I Kno all those here .. an I have been helping those I can. An in turn I'm growing an realizing I'm here for a reason.... To learn true courage an tenacity and resilience just like you guys..... ✌🏼💗😊⛵
It has been a long year BUT, I see Bodhi in the background, walking and learning from Wila which shows how much fun you all are having. Yes, there are some times that could have drug you guys down, deep, but you gathered your wits and conquered each of those challenges. It is the difficult times that make the good times so GREAT! I love what you guys are doing and how you are doing it.
I'm so proud of you guys, sailing around the world from our little patch of heaven in Victoria.
Victoria, Australia? I think there’s more than one Vic.
@@teeanahera8949 We hail from the same little town, in Western Canada.
Victoria Island in British Columbia, is beautiful, homely and picturesque. As an Aussie years ago, I lived and worked their for a few months, extremely memorable. ❤
When ever I hear about seals swimming off of Capetown, I can't help but think of Great Whites. Spring is in the air at Niagara Falls. Love the show with many thumbs up.!
Be careful over there. I’m seeing possible civil unrest there coming due to power grid failures. Be careful.
You have inspired me. Your boat was very broken in what looked like a very expensive island and you did not stop to wail. Doors opened to you bc of your courage, I really believe. From the time of those episodes, I took on huge house projects. I think your channel programmed me to succeed.
Fellow Canuck here dreaming the life you are living! I'm in awe of your amazing ability to overcome challenges and live without fear! One day....
Welcome to Cape Town, hope you enjoy this amazing city while you fix everything😊
Great words of wisdom and advice. What a story your children will have to tell their future generations. It is quite the legacy. I'm so happy for your victory and triumph.
Well done guys, you have done the really hard parts of the "lap" and with such class and integrity! We will be following behind you across the Atlantic (early May) but hope to catch up with you some where along the way!!!
Welcome to Cape Town! Eventhough it is refit time which is not so great, I hope that your family gets to enjoy and experience all of the wonderful things that Cape Town and the surrounding areas have to offer.
Aaaah, Cape Town, our home city! Enjoy your time at the V&A Waterfront. Take the kids to Simonstown to see the penguins on the beach. Also in Simonstown you can visit the Scratch Patch where your children can literally scratch around and collect a bagful of multi-coloured semi-precious stones. Make sure you leave some time to visit the vineyards in the Stellenbosch area... so much more...
Good Morning friends, those Seals are why the Great white sharks hunt the area.
Great whites aren’t around for a couple years now compared to how they used to be in these waters. Orcas are hunting them
Great whites do best in cold waters ... they are adapted to ambush hunting ... typically from underneath which is why surfers and boarders get hit... They mistake the surface silhouette for Seals or elephant seals..
I've been watching for 3 years and look forward to every episode. You help me live a dream that will never happen for me. Thank you
You must do the wine tram tour in Franschhoek (40 mins from Capetown).It's a must!!
Those angel in the background are Enough to make us happy. God bless
Nahoa! We love your channel so much, your perseverance in the last few years has been truly inspiring. Congratulations on making it to Cape Town :)
You folks rounded the cape of good hope, (a most treacherous area, this speaks to your mariner skills for sure) WOW! CONGRATS YOU CRAZY SWEET CANADIANS!
Congratulations on reaching Cape Town !! It’s been a great journey over the past year.thank you for bringing us along !!
Fair winds ⛵️
Welcome to Cape Town, rest relax and prepare for your future voyage, peace!
You guys are so inspirational, you make want to be a better more kind version of myself.
I hope you have time to enjoy Cape Town while you're slaving away in the boat yard. It really is a wonderful city.
All the best to your family and for future travels.
I'll be here to cheer you on 🤗💞
Love this episode. I got goosebumps as you rounded Cape Point and I'm from Cape Town. Lol I feel like a stalker as I know exactly where you are, even the beach. Enjoy this time in CPT.
😆me to! Cape Town born and bread. Only found this family a few months ago. They have become my favourite sailing family.💓⛵
You are the best ❤
You inspired me to go out and buy a 27 foot cape dory sailing vessel to spend the rest of my life sailing to wherever the wind takes me!
BTW I am 68 years old
You flower from Washington DC USA for now✌🏾
Thank you for complementing South Africa's generosity and hospitality and no doubt you have experienced this amongst all our cultures. Please spend more time in South Africa
You guys are awesome you are very knowledgeable and I enjoy listening to both of you and your children are blessed. They will look back at that adventure for the rest of their life They are growing up so fast. May the wind always be at your back? I have done some offshore sailing and I know what it’s like you guys are always calm and very pleasant. Keep up the good work
Tommy Heff from the Bronx😂❤️🙏🏻
wow! Thank you
Ashley….. your hair color is looking great! 😘
We fly paramotors/paragliders! That was awesome to see!
Thanks for letting us in on your journey. Enjoy South Africa and hope you get your boat fixed
Ya'll have lekker karma and absolutely deserve all of the wonderful gifts and kindness that you have and will receive.
Enjoy the Mother City, enjoy the hospitality of the Western Cape. I am sure you will have fun.
"Top of the World" - should have been "Bottom of the World"
a ha ha, such fun, thanks for sharing this adventure with us
Thinking the same. 🤷♀️
Congratulations to your family. Relax a bit also. You deserve it.
Cape Town V& A is such a nice base. We stayed there over a year ago now. Southern ropes is such a nice rope shop in Cape Town. I never dreamed I could be so in awe with a rope shop 😂. Associated Rigging Warren and is team will sort out your needs and in fact we are using him to ship rigging for us to Lankawi in the next month or so. Lovely reminders Cape Town is for me in particular as my daughter lives there . Enjoy it guys
give Nahoa the loving repairs and she will give it back to u on the water. thnx always for sharing!
Very keen to see the boat work after such a gruelling trip, to get the boat back, so no skimping now. These next videos whilst you are in Cape Town are a learning experience for all of us.
Congrats on your arrival in Cape Town. Its for sure an exciting moment to sail into Cape Town Harbour. What an ambiance. We have met Jan 2021 or so in Phuket at Rolly Tasker factory. At this time nobody could know where the wind will blow us and when Corona would end. Happy that finally all played out well. I am on my way through Suez - Channel and Red Sea over to Phuket and will try to follow your food print from there. Still a way to go. Wish you all the best
Thank you ! We love you Guys ! 👍🇦🇺🇳🇿
I will always watch your episodes. Can't really give ya money directly. But I like em and comment for the algorithm cause I want to see your journey. Once those children came and Ashley said "We thought we we're broken" I became touched by this channel. Someone beautiful in that, so much that trying to confine it to words seem to take the magic away from it. Anything with God's Grace.
Love watching your videos! You have helped inspire us to go after our dreams. 14 months ago we sold our home and most of what we owned and now live fulltime in an RV, traveling the USA. Our ultimate goal is to retire on a sailboat and see the world. Thank you for sharing your life and all of your ups and downs with us.
Look at how those babies have grown this year! Mr. Willa is a little lady now and Bodhi has gone from a squirmer to a screwdriver wielding little cabinet menace. So many things are so much better with Nahoa that this boat work session is going to be easy-peasy. I just have a feeling. She's giving off positive vibes!
Ya) are such an adorable couple and the kids are phenomenally adorable with their independence and the educational opportunities they have are FANTASTIC. They have no idea they are learning but they are ever so curious and eager to see more. That's what a free style education gives them unlike a conventional education of books and route memory. Good on y'all for giving the kiddos the BEST free education they can get. Happy sailing and safe passages to y'all!
Happy to see you docked in my hometown. Enjoy your stay and good luck with all the work on the boat.
Welcome to Cape Town guys... stay safe. We love you❤️
You do a really good job at describing what must be an indescribable feeling of accomplishment. Please don’t stop telling us how excited you are about what you’re doing. An analogy that might be a stretch, but one that feels appropriate to me, is visiting the Grand Canyon (or other wonders of the world). When I am there, the visuals are so stunning that I know I won’t be able to describe it to friends in a way that comes even remotely close to what I am feeling. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Grandeur for a reason Dave, the colours, the remoteness, the vastness. The spiritual presence of our ancient earth. I have spoken of The Kimberley in Australia as you did on the canyon as indescribable, these places on our planet are just so dam magical and beautiful, uplifting to our souls - connection.
My family love watching the adventures of your family. Hello from Cape Breton NS. Have a ball, be safe and we look so forward to watching your Atlantic crossing.
Love you beautiful people.
Cape Town is so much fun, you'll love it! Bonus is everything is so inexpensive, it's like everything is on sale. I'm sure this was a slight oversight but the passage to the Caribbean will be more like 35 days for Nahoa. We make the passage next year and are planning on making stops in St. Helena and Fernando off the coast of Brazil, hopefully you guys do to so we can learn from your experience. Cheers!
I follow a couple of sailing sites. But getting invested in your journey. Please keep sharing your lives.
You statement is very true....'blood sweat and tears to achieve your dreams''.....welcome in my country.....😀 living in Yzerfontein.. small fishing village 50km north of Cape Town...
What a nice Welcome!
Now that - sounds like a nice day-trip, doesn't it Ben?
We were in Cape Town last summer. You should do all the usual stuff. Biltong, Table Mountain, penguins, etc. The kids will love the dassis. If you hike Lion's Head, there is a taco restaurant in the neighborhood below that serves the best tacos we have ever had, bar none. A bit hipster, but affordable compared to North America and clearly a ton of work to put together. El Burro. Since Ben is a beer guy, there are many great lagers, but Skeleton Coast IPA was the only legit IPA I could find in the country.
You guys rock! By far my favourite sailing family. Love your outlook on life and the grace and understanding you show to the people you meet.
So glad you are finding our country South Africa welcoming. Enjoy Cape Town! Good luck with all the boat work.
Stay safe and spread the love.
Shout out from smoking valley, south africa vreekloof, welcome to cape town.
Been watching you guys for a couple of years now and so cool that you making this video on the same beach I call home. Hope South Africa treats you kindly. Welcome!
Every time your newest vlog drops I say a little prayer of thanks to know you’re all safe and sound. ❤
Don't jump straight across to the Caribbean, spend the summer in the Mediterranean - the kids will love it and you won't regret it!
I love how crusing world and racing world just interlocks. One is putting the other into perspective and vice versa. Good job Nahoa! You can be proud to have crossed the Indian Ocean with two littles. So, let me go back to the Ocean Race tracker, keeping up with the race. Go Team Malizia! ⛵🌊
Wise words.
Thank you both for being an inspiration.
Ihr habt bislang eine grossartige tour hingelegt. Der ganzen Familie weiterhin Gesundheit und das berühmte Quentchen Glück.
So. So so!! Awesome!!! You did it!!! Way to go guys!!¡
Much love family! Thanks for sharing with us all. God bless.
You guys should meet us in Roatán Honduras 🇭🇳 at the end of June. If you do head that way. I have a really good friend and tour guide on the island too. Just let me know. Not sure if you are heading north from the Caribbean or southwest.
Sunday would not be Sunday without you. Such nice, good people. Wish all all the best in South Africa. Good luck, stay safe.
Thank you for sharing your journey. You have such a beautiful presence and the gratitude you feel for your lives is contagious. Safe journeying!❤
Congratulations on a major lifetime accomplishment, good on you and your little crew. Nothing breeds success more than setting big goals and going out and achieving them in spite of unforeseen obstacles and discouraging challenges. Now repeat!
Thanks guys, we really appreciate your efforts to share your thoughts and adventures. Stay safe we love y'all 👍🏻👍🏻💕🐾
God Bless.
Enjoy Cape Town!
You guys are awesome. Have my Sunday morning coffee with you, growing with your family, sharing your adventures and your dreams. Thank you for the ride.
Ashley you look just beautiful! The white hair, the healthy skin... your spirit just shines! You too Ben! Best blessings on your sweet family! You’re one of my top three channels! We sail Lake Michigan during the summers but love watching your channel when it’s snowing outside! Fair winds!
I have enjoyed sailing along with y’all. Thanks for having us even if it is only through a video. I really appreciate it. From South Carolina USA
This is huge!!! Thank you for sharing!!
It's been really fun to watch. You're the best Cruiser Team on the net. Thanks
Beautiful and powerful mama, Ashley ❤
Another great year. I'll be around for the yard and the completion!
Kind of amazing I can't believe it but I've been watching you guys for at least five years now amazing! Always enjoy your videos you do a great job!
landing on the top side .......always GOOD!!
Welcome to Cape Town
Wonderful to hear South Africans are making you feel welcome.🤗
Although boat repairs are expensive and therefore drudgery it is fascinating to the viewers and also really adds the reality of what it costs to circumnavigate!
Seals put their flippers in the air to thermoregulate. We have a ton of seals where I live, when we sail out the Golden Gate Bridge, we often see the seals doing that exact same thing. I love your videos, thank you.
Awesome guys, well done on making it to Cape Town, my home city!
Loved the motivational talk at the end!
wow soo happy to watch your channel after a long time, the last time i saw you is when you're about to sail again after having a baby and changing a boat. still amazing.
You need to download to Clifton 4th Beach in the late afternoon with a picnic. No South Easter blowing there unless it's a full on gale!
Lovely video. Congratulations on your accomplishments so far. Cheers to crossing the Atlantic and many more adventures to come. Looking forward. ❤🎉
Strong work guys. Best of luck with the boat repairs. Can't wait to follow along with your adventures!!
welcome to our lovely country xxxxx
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Love the positive attitude you both maintain thru thick and thin !
Welcome to Cape Town 😃
Congratulations on making to Cape Town.
Very interesting to see the Cape from that view ♥
Wow! A really great adventure! We are feeling what the ancient navigators might have felt like. Thank you again for sharing the serenity, joy, excitements and dreams. both of you are a great insperation. By the way, both of you are looking good, Ashley really looks beautiful on this coverage. Again congratulations. And please don't ever compromise safety, always stay safe. We are always praying for your family's safe journey. May God be always with your family. God bless. God bless.
Awesome Guys... Now you make me miss home... 2 months are not enough in Cape Town, but if you have to go, try to see as much as possible in-between the boat work. - but above all go back to Dolphin Beach and go Kite... I started watching you because you were fellow Kiters, haven't seen much of that lately.
Also another very scenic kite spot is Misty Cliffs, just a view minutes drive from the VNA (you can thank me later...;-))
Enjoy Cape Town.
Congratulations from snowy Ontario!! You make us Canadians proud. What an accomplishment!
Thank you for your awesome videos And taking us around the world
Good luck with the refit, love your channel its brilliant greetings from England
