I´m new to this channel. As a father of three and a former Navy E-4, who had his share of storms, my first thought was: "Are they insane? How irresponsible is he to take their toddlers on the ocean and risk their lives!" , but then I reminded myself: " Shut up, it is none of your business and be glad that this man and his family have the freedom to do that.There is enough red-tape already in the world and that man and his wife are the only authorities for their kids, period.

Love your channel... You are showing us out of the way places on this planet that are not tourist traps and unheard of, it is such a treat for us that are stuck on land!
Your right you could have been walking through Exmore/ Dartmore and climbing a Tor, amazing scenery, I am looking forward to the next leg of your journey, safe travels from your old neighbour Devon 😜 🥰
Found your video ultra interesting you are a very brave family travelling the oceans, and exploring islands like St Helena . Gave me an insite in to a far distant part of the British Empire .
The way you introduce the island inhabitants (07:08) with this gentle vertical travelling (added to the vhf sound) is pure cinematic storytelling ;) which am sensitive to. Nice editing !
I'm glad you made it safe and sound into St. Helena. It looks beautiful. It reminded me of the island of Terceira in the Azores/Portugal. Maybe you could visit there someday.
Ahh how I would love to just sit there and float. I don't know about being able to go through all of those rough waves and storms, but I love watching from Las Vegas!
It's so NICE to see you guys and that you all made it on the first leg of the journey safe and sound. I was starting to get a bit worried about you and the kids. You arrived at a nice location to take a few days off of the ocean and rest up awhile and enjoy being on land again. Hope to see you again next week. Be safe, and YES child trafficing is now a bigger business in the states than the drug cartel, it doesn't surprise me you were asked about the kids. Keep your eyes on them.
I’m not even remotely interested in sailing, terrified of the open ocean, hopelessly seasick on even massive multi-storey ships, and yet here I am binging on your videos, and dreaming of a life on sea 🙈😂 long story short, you guys are truly inspirational!
Just discovered your channel and its so awesome! Im planning on a liveaboard lifestyle within tve year. So much research, preparation, anxiety, and worries. However, its a dream ive had for as lomg as i can remember. Seeing you guys pursuing this lifestyle with 2 small toddlers, gives me inspiration to be able to do it as well. Thank you!
Disagree, from my time studying remote geography on earth, St. Helena seems almost otherworldly in its remoteness. Arriving by personal S/V seems totally bizarre and awesome!
There's nothing inherently negative about the word "bizarre." It's perfectly fitting: "bi·zarre: very strange or unusual, especially so as to cause interest or amusement."
Funny enough I was listening to St Helena radio one day. And they mentioned that you were anchored. Lol. I live in Montenegro and originally from South Africa.
What a wonderful place Saint Helena! Just beautiful and people trust eachother and there is hardly any crime? Yes please! It would have been hard to leave.❤
Your films (and most ARE films) are more thoughtfully and carefully assembled than a lot of what passes as UK 'tv' these days. Five stars, or one Oscar. Whatever is now suitable.... 😁
Was temporary duty on the sister island ascension island for the US Air Force. We were there to install communication antennas for NASA. Love the locals that work on ascension island that are from st helena.
Im your subscriber from the Philippines. Always watching your videos even if you uploaded once in a while (which i understand because of the nature or your circumnavigation). I love watching you guys, the natural laugh of Ash and you Ben. Willa and Bodie are enjoying their early age in sea/ocean exploring diff. parts of the world.❤
Love your work and appreciate your effort, yes living vicariously but not viable for my kids to support your being as much as i would like to. DO LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOUR WORK> THANKYOU.
Great content as you traverse the big wave in the middle of the ocean. I had experienced that kind of situation where a big wave was 20 feet tall above the boat. Keep safe as always!
What a fabulous place. Thanks ya'll for sharing your journey with us. Their own currency? Reminds me of a place in NY (Ithaca) that too had their own currency. They called it Ithaca Money but I think changed it to Ithaca hour's. I don't guess it's a thing anymore but when it was people would earn this Ithaca money by volunteering in the community rather it be repainting a building that was in need or cleaning the streets or whatever.. The Ithaca money was bankable and accepted in their local shops/stores for whatever and groceries.. I have always thought that it was a cool concept to get people in the community involved while earning Ithaca money. The more hour's you put in the more Ithaca money earned. Stay safe and stay blessed y'all. :0)
Well done finding a mooring ball at night ... question for you don’t you have deck lights to flood the area with light to see what’s around ... just wondering, keep up the great content!
St. Helena was the island that Napoleon was put in prison and died there,his remains were sent back to France
That was very very nice of you to fix the fence.

Island of St. Helena Where Napoleon was only 51 when he died there
Saint Helena is amazing Thank you so much for bringing us along with you.
Love your channel... You are showing us out of the way places on this planet that are not tourist traps and unheard of, it is such a treat for us that are stuck on land!
There used to be a British mint that made commemorative coins,don't know if they still do. We were there in 1985,no mooring balls then.
You guys are legendary parents! Congrats on closing in on your circumnavigation! Upmost respect!
Glad you’re all safe and well!
Wow, very isolated place there, but beautiful at the same time. Looking forward to your next post, be safe, be well.
What an incredible island! Thank you guys for taking us along! ❤
Beautiful drive and hike. A nice change from the sailing life.
Your right you could have been walking through Exmore/ Dartmore and climbing a Tor, amazing scenery, I am looking forward to the next leg of your journey, safe travels from your old neighbour Devon 😜 🥰
It was nice you kept those mischievous cows safe
Well you are well on. Your way now.❤. What a wonderful family. Have followed you now for many yrs back in Canada on the very small boat and before.
I never get tired of watching dolphins play in the wake, cheers
The kids are getting so big. What a wonderful place to visit. Stay safe. Thanks for the videos from here in Kershaw South Carolina USA
Love the story, pictures and ongoing adventures!

From what the weather man says lol😂
You should be about knee deep in water or are about to be.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
OK, I'm in Love with St. Helena.
You all are terrific. This old guy has vicariously sailed with you most of the way - from the Caribbean.
This is probably the best episode ever. All the best to your future travels. Fair winds and following seas.
YOUR CHANNEL HAS NOT BEEN GETTING RECOMMENDED TO ME FOR WELL OVER 2 MONTH,,,MAN THAT PLACE LOOKS AMAZING,,RESPECT TO YOUS ~#SCOTLAND
Love you guys and the kids as always. Best from Auckland. Anthony
Looked such a cool place.
Napoleon died there too and I think there is a museum on said fellow.
Wow!thanks so much for the content....love watching u guys! Keep on keeping on.🌄

In 1973, on a 150' square rigger, we were in Tahiti.
Drove up to the top of Tahiti Iti or Tahiti Nui and found dairy farms like Wisconsin !
This looks like it was such fun! I hope your next video(s) show more of this awesome island.
Cool. Never heard of that island…
I've been wondering about your family. Awesome adventure!
Bizarre seems a wrong choice of word? St. Helena is incredible and so special.
Disagree, from my time studying remote geography on earth, St. Helena seems almost otherworldly in its remoteness. Arriving by personal S/V seems totally bizarre and awesome!
And of course, incredible and special. 😊
There's nothing inherently negative about the word "bizarre." It's perfectly fitting:

Fantastic! Great accomplishment and video. Thankyou 👍💯
Funny enough I was listening to St Helena radio one day. And they mentioned that you were anchored. Lol. I live in Montenegro and originally from South Africa.
Glad to hear from you again guys ❤
Wow! Who has ever been to St. Helena?? Awesome video!!
Congrats On-The-Go passage well done, great to feel and see land again I bet. You both look tired. Cheers
Thankyou 😊
Beautiful videos.... God bless you....
With regards to immigration, child trafficking out of South Africa is a huge issue.
Thanks Keep safe always
Ohhhh your new boat looks sooo good.
What a wonderful place Saint Helena! Just beautiful and people trust eachother and there is hardly any crime? Yes please! It would have been hard to leave.❤

We Love ❤️ you guy's with your fantastic voyages, 2 very lucky store aways and a Beautiful Family.

Your children are so beautiful and well behaved. Cheers!
Always Like your content and Love you folks.
I hope you were able to visit where Emporer Napolean spent his last days. Would love to see a video of that.
What a great place, lots of surprising sites.
Wow what an island.
Did not know such an island exists. Thanks for showing us!
I love the helmets you put on the kids to get them over to the water taxi, such a good idea!
The new boat looks good😮😊

Thanks as always
