    We are sorry to see you leave RUclips. It’s been a joy to watch you all prepare the boat and your sailing life. Also a joy watching Molly growing up. I fully understand your loss of desire to continue filming after your family losses. I’ve often wondered how sailing RUclipsrs generate content week to week. Wish you all the best and if you come back to RUclips we’ll be here to watch, bless you all 🙏🙏

    I followed your journey in the beginning with Sand Flea and your little dinghy that bolted together in the middle. I think you even hung out with Wicked Salty for awhile and I followed that. It was great all you shared. I am sorry I did loose touch when you got started looking for a new boat and started working on your last one. For some reason getting into long projects like MJ Sailing, Uma, Sailing into freedom, and a few more had that affect for me and I loved how genuine you all were too. I really wish the best for you and your family and so sorry to hear about your sad times you went through, we are in the middle of that ourselves at this time of our lives. If you ever find your way to Northern Michigan and would like to experience the wonderful water and country we have here would love to help in someway to make it special for your family, you gave me a lot of enjoyment of what it could be like till someday I go to the bahamas on my own adventure with one of my boats.

    So very sorry for your losses. I totally understand the emotions you all were and still are feeling. I lost my stepmother June 28, my father 10 days later, my neighbor and marine surveying mentor the Monday after Thanksgiving and a very dear female friend 3 days later last year. I'm still not done processing everything almost a year later. I took a trip with a friend to bring a boat down to where I am in SC from New Bern, NC. I'd always call my father anytime something boat related came up. Especially if it was a power boat. While we were under way, I picked up my phone to call him. Then the wave of emotions hit. I had to turn over the helm to my buddy and go down below for a while. I hope that whatever you do in the future brings you peace, happiness and success. If you do decide to film in the future, I'll be right here waiting for it. Thank you so much for taking me along for the ride. - S/V Celtic Star

    Linda here… so sorry to hear this but honestly, not surprised. Change is inevitable. I do want to say this…Ben, you have developed some MAD video skill as well as boat refit skills. Don’t let them go to waste. Consulting could always be an option…actually, for ALL of you. Plus, Your boat is GORGEOUS and should sell in a heartbeat to anyone in the market who has a clue. So glad we met you when we did, and I hope we are able to stay in touch. Love you all.

You appear to be an exceptional family filled with love & respect for each other. It’s very hard when we lose a loved one, especially a parent! It doesn’t matter how old we are, the loss of a mother or father is tough! You both have done a great job and I will truly miss your videos. Ben, you always made me laugh or smile with your ways.

I can totally understand how you found it hard to present videos in your trademark positive upbeat way would have been hard given your personal trials. kudos for recognizing that you need to step back and look after your selves.

I know I miss my E32 Esprit Libre. It was always a joy to see you pop into my FB lives when I was out sailing.
