    ...... holy shite .... Ashley, totally get your nervousness when i saw how steep the ramp was, Nahoa was nowhere near level when the tow machine got on the ramp ..... laughing .. "do you hear the ticking", I drive a 86 volkswagen diesel and call it the rattler .. that was no ticking on the second start .. ouch ... Willa sure is demonstrating the sponge thing, taking in all that is going on around .. some save this peeks just before we start school where everything is regimented and we are taught to conform .... you are so lucky to have worked your way into a situation where you will be there for all her milestones and watch her evolve ..... I am anticipating that you really enjoyed your pillows that first night ... thx for the share .... never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

    BEN....First engine noise seems to be valve clearance, but the second louder noise could be a bent valve knocking on the piston's head or a spun rod....don't know what has gone with the engine in-between noises but I would remove de rocker cover and check for valves play....from there remove the head next....but sounds no good at all. Also, check your engine rubber mounts, seem they are a bit tired
    Congrats on going back to boat life.

      If you crank for many long times an engine that does not want to start, exhaust fills with water as the raw water pump spins.....that water can backflow to the engine and water-lock it ....or wost...if the engine starts it could destroy the engine (bend rod, crack piston.....)
      If it doesn't start you must close the seacock, and reopen it as soon as it turns on. Hope this was not the case

      G'day mate, that's absolutely a bloody brilliant idea. Keep Wood as an extra hand, to assist, especially now, since Ashley & Ben had their baby, Willa. At least Ashley could focus more attention on the lil tot. Then Ben could teach Wood the in & outs of sailing, service, etc...While bluewater, open-ocean cruising! Cheers from Margaret River, Western Australia 🇦🇺.

    "What keeps us going is the knowledge life on board is magical, and we'll do almost anything to get back on the water." Wow, your words evoke a whole world of sailing, adventure, struggle, a world between sky all around and water as far as the eye can see. Your videos are very inspiring, they really help people think of what pursuit or dream is theirs, and then to morph that through grit & hard work into reality.
    I'm 67 and this kind of sailing life was a dream I held for years, and slowly set aside. You've inspired me to make a cautious foray into coastal sailing here in Thailand / Malaysia after buying a used 22' or 26' sloop (hopefully a 1980 Westerly).
    I like your intro map showing the countries you've made landfall at so far: Bahamas, BVI, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Grenada, Puerto Rico, Columbia, Panama, Galapagos, Fr. Polynesia, Cook Islands, Tonga, NZ, Fiji, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Palau, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand... and the saga continues!
    There was only one line to describe Odysseus' boat in the Odyssey: "black and fast." I think Nahoa fulfills that too.
    Last thing, take lots of pics and publish several books: a coffee table short Captain's log book with a photo section & chapters on each country and the changing ocean, plus a much longer e-book autobiography of the journey, and others! It'll keep the dream alive reliving your saga after you make landfall to spend a few years ashore.
    I can see you guys returning to this life many times over the years. Go for it. Thanks for your wonderful videos!

    Like you said, stuck valve. You could try pulling the rocker arm cover and checking and lubing the valve train. I have had that work. Or pull the head and check for damage on piston and valve. Most of the time it's just a bent valve. However, if the head of the valve comes off, total destruction!

    Sounded like a misfire in the first video. Probably air got in the fuel injector lines. Which the injectors on diesel work off pressure and not electronics. Either a good rev will fix it or need to bleed the lines. Second video sounded like piston slap a bit. Need to go in and take off the camshaft and then the valve caps to lubricated/clean the valve stems.
