THANK YOU for sharing the tortoises!!!! AND protecting the locstion!!! They NEED to be protected!!! How can anyone have missed the video of the bridge deck repair?? I was actually surprised it was as small as it was, I very happy you got it fixed!!!! THANKS for sharing everything you share!!!!
He's walking! Thought I missed an episode when I first saw him standing with his sister looking at that tortoise. We need more commentary from her by the way. So cute.
So glad your boat repairs went well…love that you share your family’s adventures with all of us. If only I was young again.. I would certainly have done this raising my kids!!!!
..... the paying it forward mindset also removes the, first, what is in it for me attitude, .. the old phrase comes to mind .. "have an impact, make a difference" ..... all the mum nature stuff was great, the best parts were Willa's speaking and you encouraging her to tell stories, explain what happened. The evolution of a child with speech always intrigues me .. second Bodie mastering walking, so cool .... thx guys for the peek into your lives .. and as laways .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....
The secret island looked like a gem. Loved the giant tortoises and all the birds. It appears that your boat life is moving along smoothly. Keep safe and healthy. Love to you all!
Awesome video! That island was so amazing! The water and ocean like a dream! You are living the life. ❤️ The kids have grown so much. I am so happy for you that Nahoa is fixed!!!⛵
Fabulous 😊 Love the philosophy of the saying “what goes around comes around “ With so much misery going around right now; it’s going to take a lot of good vibes to turn it around!!
I cant think of no peeps more deserving of this special top secrete Island that Ya'll. It's nice to see you all looking so healthy and experiencing the treasures of Earth. Go Well!
I have been to Dry Tortugas National Park at the far western end of the Florida Keys. In summer, brown noddies and sooty terns nest there, and I recognized the noise right away! Aldabra tortoises are amazing! I have a Sulcata tortoise (the third largest, Galapogos are the largest, then Aldabra) and she is 70 pounds now at only 16 years old. So I am partial to big tortoises.
I am so satisfied that there are folks like you. Folks that have figured out a way to break free. Folks that are willing to share what it's like, the good and the less than spectacular. Your sharing of your journey gives me hope.
Well, look at little Mr. Manly and Willa! They're growing up so fast! It's so good to see you two getting your groove back, looking happy and relaxed. We're all just going to have to start sending out good Madagascar vibes for you. It'd be so much fun to see the babies running around with the local kids. Much love!
Yes, Fregate Island Private is an amazing island...had the privilege of stay ing there for 10 days...it was bliss...we'd go to one of the seven beaches, flip the "occupied" sign and we'd have the beach to ourselves. Can't wait to return there one day after it reopens again in a few years. 1:50: In South Africa these millipedes are affectionately known as “shongololos”. pronounced: shon-ga-law-laws.
Not that your videos haven't been great to date, but your videos just keep getting better and better. I love following your adventures. Gorgeous family, living their best life. True respect to you all.
What an awesome video, everyone looking good and in good spirits, glad the boat is fixed🙏🤟, would be great if you can see Madagascar, especially Nosy Be👌. Sending love and light🤟💕
Yesterday i saw “The perfect Storm” on star movies for the first time.. First thing came to my mind is your beautiful small family when ur bulk head was damaged.. May god bless you guys.. Tons of love feom India..
Great to see your back to living life !! what a incredible opportunity to enjoy the private island and thank you so much for sharing!! I watched you ‘ play it forward for years and after all you’ve overcome you deserved a private island!! your kids are so lucky to share this wonderful world with you.growing so fast!! Fair winds ⛵️
You said the beach was rarely frequented by commoners such as yourselves . So this means you are uncommoners by association ! In my opinion this is a GREAT thing ! Also Willa(sp.) is speaking so well now . I can’t wait until she starts asking you the millions and millions of questions little kids seem to come up with. ! Good Luck with that !🤩🤩🤩
You are so lucky to end up on this private island! We found Seychelles absolutely gorgeous - were joking that we can drop anchor anywhere and it would be just spectacular. Enjoy and Fair winds. Greetings from Saudi Arabia
Madagascar would be a lot of fun, I hope you all get to go! I hope to sail up into the Mediterranean one day so it’d be awesome to see you all head up that way but I understand the dangers that come with that. Safe water until next time!
Wow that environment reminds me so much of the Kenya coast, yes the huge turtles, so big that an adult male can ride on, and those pristine beaches and turquoise waters are there too... Be careful of those millipedes, not because they are dangerous...I stepped on one once and had purple dye on my foot for days lol..it lived!!
great episode and great news about your boat. hopefully smooth sailing for a long, long time. you guys deserve it. thnx! and your kids growing up so fast.
Thanks for sharing this stunning beautiful scenery, it’s great to see you all relaxed and stress free😊 The children are thriving and Willa is very articulate for her age and how exciting to see Bodi walking Stay safe and healthy with fair winds ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️💕💕
@7:00 If I could make a guess, I would say, that this is the "D'Arros"-island, whose owner once was Shahram Pahlavi Nia, the nephew of the ormer Shah of Persia Mohammad Reza Pahlawi.
It's Fregate Island... It's an "eco"-resort and there's nothing secret about it. They just didn't show the other side of the island with all the luxury villas and pools. Anyone can go there as long as you can afford it.
When you've traveled the world, seeing the magnificence of what is around us every day, and you come across something new which takes your breath away, you've truly proven that you're open to the beauty and the wonders which continue to show themselves to us all. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being the lovely people that you are.
I share your philosophy but I struggle with it at times. I do good things and good things happen to me. but the conflict arises when I think, shouldn't I do good just because it's the right thing to do? If I'm doing something with the intent that I'll have a benefit eventually, doesn't that take away from the act of doing the good deed? I love the pay it forwardness of life at times and maybe my doubts are somewhat seated in Catholic childhood self-guilt.
Hi, Ash, Ben and kids, I hate to break it to u, but Australia has beaches just like that one and us commoners are very welcome to them. In fact we are one very large island, and ur welcome to visit or even stay if u want. Glad u both look rested and less stressed, the kids are growing so fast, listening to Willow chatting away, and Bodie nearlywalking,, wow time flys. 🌈🤣🇦🇺🇨🇦
This is Frigate Island, I live on La Digue about 15 miles apart. What good about people that sees this kind of life once a life time always describes it as paradise, utopia, but for me living all my life in the Seychelles I feel bored. I want atleast live 6 months in a city. It takes a lot to live this kind of life year in year out. Good luck on your journey.
Smiling always watching you guys, you make me feel happy and healthy, thank you very much for all your shows with your adorable family. And "Mom" is the absolute bomb. TY.
Pay it forward works because it’s the Golden Rule -Do to others what you want them to do to you…it creates peace and harmony. Great beach though so many others are great too.👍🏝
Loved this, thanks so much for sharing. Wouldn’t it be a far nicer world if everyone believed and participated in paying it forward. So happy you were given this break in paradise.
Moar kid mayhem please!! I love kids. lol. That was the prettiest beach I've ever seen. The blue water is soooo pretty. I'm so glad you got the opportunity to stay there for a while. Take care!💖
Go Bodie you cute lil fella!! Willa every episode you get more an more adorable!! Ben an Ashley, thanks for sharing your lives with us. I can't explain how much your family an videos mean to a struggle stranger such as me .. Your videos have been a bright light that has pushed me forward an to not giving up.... Cuz you guy's don't!! Was so worried about the vessel.. Did a lot of praying for your family an that Nahoa wud carry your family thru to the end!!! The private island was beyond stunning WOW. What a beautiful gift . Being homeless living in a motel with my autistic son an hubster because fire sucks everything from you... I've always been a pay it forward person.. I live by these simple words everyday"kindness is free daily give til your heart is full!" I haven't really much to give. But kindness I have in abundance an love to see a frown turn around.. an to be the one who creates that smile is what keeps me going!! Thanks again for sharing your lives with us.... Grateful for you guy's ✌🏼💗😊❣️
North Island, Seychelles is a spectacular place to visit. Definitely a perfect setting for the Noah’s Ark conservation and island rehabilitation program and the resort is unique. ⛵
So crazy #Zatara blew through the Seychelles like there's nothing to see!!! They missed out!! gotta go to the other islands!! Yes Yes Yes!! The Seychelles like no other!! Take your time, don't miss out, was there in 1986 LOL!! Really though, spend the time rest and relax....
So Cool, I was waiting for the dinosaurs to come running out. Willa is so cute omg, her vobcabulary is getting so good. God bless you all , following. P.S most people don't realize how important bats are to us. See you soon . Amping, ignat, cuidate and in english Take care
hello you 4, this is really more than beautiful and i am even more happy, while i am struggling through coporate topics and everyday life , that you take us to these places!
So many people jumped to conclusions on the bulk heads it was embarrassing. So many things it could have been. Even seen comments like “taken lagoons off my radar for purchase”. Bless.
"I got pummeled, dad!" Your family is so adorable. Hope you all are well
I think this is the first time we’ve heard Willa talk!
Thanks!
Okay - 4:43... I about lost it seeing "Jane - swinging through on a vine, very Tarzan-ish..." hilarious fun!
This was a very happy video-well done and your kids are amazing-can’t get over how Willows vocabulary is so articulate. You both look great!! 👏👏👏🌴🌺🌴

One of your best episodes in a long time! I feel like you really got back to your roots in this one!
You said the beach was rarely frequented by commoners such as yourselves . So this means you are uncommoners by association ! In my opinion this is a GREAT thing ! Also Willa(sp.) is speaking so well now . I can’t wait until she starts asking you the millions and millions of questions little kids seem to come up with. ! Good Luck with that !🤩🤩🤩

Your family is living the life. So happy that things are working out for you !! You certainly deserve it. Take care. Until next time Safe waters !!
Fantastic episode.
Fregate island looks to be a beautiful place.
Read up on that island, it has an interesting history and there was concern that it wouldn’t remain a Conservatory after it was purchased in 2012.
I like all your episodes, but particularly the one where you fixed the bridge deck. It was so good to see Nahoa fixed and whole again.
Great video guys keep up with the new travels. God bless stay safe and stay the course. Peace
Madagascar would be a lot of fun, I hope you all get to go! I hope to sail up into the Mediterranean one day so it’d be awesome to see you all head up that way but I understand the dangers that come with that. Safe water until next time!
Your family is living the life. So happy that things are working out for you as you so deserve it.
So happy for you and your family . Nice to see your beautiful smiles.😊👍
Truly views of paradise! What fortunate lives you and your little ones have to experience such beauty
Beautiful place ... and you clearly have shed much of the stress.. good luck guys.
Great video. Thank you for showing us the island.
I can tell your daughter very vocal very smart and alert🌹🌹👏🏽💜..From San Diego California
That island looked beautiful, how wonderful that you guys got to experience that. Have a wonderful week coming up! Keep making memories
You just made my day a little better. Thank you.
Wow that environment reminds me so much of the Kenya coast, yes the huge turtles, so big that an adult male can ride on, and those pristine beaches and turquoise waters are there too...
Be careful of those millipedes, not because they are dangerous...I stepped on one once and had purple dye on my foot for days lol..it lived!!
great episode and great news about your boat.
hopefully smooth sailing for a long, long time. you guys deserve it.
thnx!
and your kids growing up so fast.
Thanks for sharing this stunning beautiful scenery, it’s great to see you all relaxed and stress free😊
The children are thriving and Willa is very articulate for her age and how exciting to see Bodi walking
Stay safe and healthy with fair winds ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️💕💕
Wow what a beautiful beach. You’ve been working so hard on your boat I’m glad to see you had a good time on the island.
@7:00 If I could make a guess, I would say, that this is the "D'Arros"-island, whose owner once was Shahram Pahlavi Nia, the nephew of the ormer Shah of Persia Mohammad Reza Pahlawi.
Its not D'Arros....
It's Fregate Island... It's an "eco"-resort and there's nothing secret about it. They just didn't show the other side of the island with all the luxury villas and pools. Anyone can go there as long as you can afford it.
So epic ... u guys make me cry so often it's good to feel human again sometimes
Hi guys, beautiful unspoiled island. I this is what you call 📱 paradise. Great 😊 video. Thanks 🙏 so much.
Thanks for sharing !
How amazing! You are so lucky to have been to that locale. It’s gorgeous. Keep paying it forward ❤️
👍 alls good with you, three.
In Hawai'i (O'ahu) trees that have 'branch' nesting White Terns have blue ribbons on them stating such.
The Aldabra Tortoises are awesome!! Thanks for showing us..
When you've traveled the world, seeing the magnificence of what is around us every day, and you come across something new which takes your breath away, you've truly proven that you're open to the beauty and the wonders which continue to show themselves to us all.
Thank you for sharing and thank you for being the lovely people that you are.
So glad to see you guys again!
Happy to hear you got the 'bulkhead' issue resolved. That was scary!
Wow that place is beautiful. A true Garden of EDEN! If I do say so myself!! Enjoy guys. 😊
Aldabra is one of the best places I’ve ever been able to visit I would agree. Awesome you were able to get to go
I share your philosophy but I struggle with it at times. I do good things and good things happen to me. but the conflict arises when I think, shouldn't I do good just because it's the right thing to do? If I'm doing something with the intent that I'll have a benefit eventually, doesn't that take away from the act of doing the good deed?
I love the pay it forwardness of life at times and maybe my doubts are somewhat seated in Catholic childhood self-guilt.
Beautiful island, more beautiful family, and a fixed boat! Happiness! 😃😃😃
you kids are so positive about life,I love watching you

Good to see you! Fun video! Pummeled 😂😂😂
So many people jumped to conclusions on the bulk heads it was embarrassing. So many things it could have been. Even seen comments like “taken lagoons off my radar for purchase”. Bless.
12:37 (famous last words?!) "Yeah... so the drama's over..." (Stay tuned... we'll be back, right after this brief commercial message...).
God Bless your family🙏🙏🙏
Ben, your a good man!,good video.Better have that boat fixed!! Come help me with mine.
Ready for the next adventure!!!!!! See you next Sunday
