Married so it is not my decision. We live in the Oregon Cascades but I have always wanted to own a sail boat and travel the world. No destination but just enjoy life. Regardless we have a travel trailer and travel much of the PNW and points beyond. Life is good when wife is happy.
Many are likely more attracted to another sailing couple who now have a baby as well starring in the show... however I feel Ben and Ashley are more real in showing the real life of cruisers who went of the grid.
Truly Inspirational. We are plotting our escape, down to an 8 year plan now. We have the boat! No circumnavigation for us, just marina hopping the US and Bahamas.
Lots of truth here for those who can and will take a chance on a different life. I spent 10 years visiting hospitals and assisted-living homes with my two therapy dogs. Logged visits with more than 30,000 people, many at the brink of the end, and they are candid and open up to you. What do people regret? What they never did, could have done, wish they had done. Too many leave this world with dreams, not with memories.
I am so jealous. You did it because YOU COULD. I have nothing - no friends, partner, money, job, ... and I am disabled with depression and anxiety but I can still dream. Can't I??? I just get so BORED of life in the US. Happy trails!!
The wifey and I truly enjoy tagging along with you kids on your boat and looking over your shoulders as you enjoy life. At 73 and 62 with physical limitations it would be a bit tough to ride through those storms at sea. However having served in the USCG and been in both a nasty hurricane and later a typhoon on cutters I would love to bounce around out there again,,,,maybe a little less violent but the ride is magnificent. Oh and I'd prefer a hammock if possible for those "rolly" anchorages. MikeC
I really liked your initial narration on why you moved onto a boat and how your viewpoint has changed. Profound. For those naysayers you will never regret this adventure.
Just kept thinking what if you clothes line someone coming through lol 😂 what a cool place... sad to say I’ve officially watched all your videos now from start to finish. Can’t wait to see more guys! Your the best sailing ⛵️ adventure youtube channel by far in my opinion. Gonna have the mos epic videos to show your kids one day and after. Love that your living the dream. Good for you not letting fear hold you back! You guys rocks! About to buy one of ur shirts 👚 now !
I'm on the same path. Left corporate job, sold it all, sailing in the Caribbean now. I must say however only after a year in the Caribbean, I am sick of the heat, the lack of services, and believe it or not, white sandy beaches and palm trees. This off grid living takes a special person or couple. It looks like so much fun on RUclips, but it you are a person who enjoyed unlimited internet, streaming Netflix or Amazon, A/C, long hot showers, full night of sleep, this lifestyle is going to get old quick. I think I will add a disclaimer on my next RUclips episode. LOL. Great Episode as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Love it. I started uploading regularly after shattering my leg last year while fishing. So now, I'm fishing, camping and recording everything. Going to give the old RUclips's a year or so before I go back to a 9-5...or hopefully not!
@@Rockingoodmanforty-five years ago, our friends considered us to be an adventurous couple. I guess we did what ordinary couples considered to be dangerous. Now that we both are retired and with grandchildren, I guess we'll be fulfilling our dreams thru the videos of this wonderful couple of The Nahoa. More power to them and GOD BLESS.
I applaud and loath the release of a new video from you guys as I pretty much cry at the waste of my life it seems while watching … I feel like I have hit rock bottom but have so much dependent on me getting up every morning to the mundane monotony that is my life currently … You two are amazing and I dream of my 'retirement' on my sailboat alone adrift at sea and that seems like the only thing that keeps me going, well my young girls of coarse are the reason as well that I am not adrift at sea at the moment as well... Great content, keep it going forever, but I want to see a school on "How to live at sea for life!" in the future! TYLY
I just finished watching all of your videos. Took me few weeks to watch one or two videos a day. And i really enjoy it and gave me sort of a connection towards your life and journey in short I’m hooked to Nahoa. Looking forward to your another video. Good luck Ben & Ashley👍🏼✌🏼
I know I'd rather live on a boat crossing the ocean.. you folks made the right decision! I've plans to buy and convert a van to a camper and tour myself soon.
Being able to quit a 9-5 has restrictions that in some cases are out of our control. Like health issues. Aside from that, it's a matter of planning, money, and learning to live life in a whole different way than what we are used to. Oddly enough....my "happy place" is in the ocean or in the Sky. In our situation, I can fly and still be close enough to medical needs, but it requires I work for our health benefits. You guys are truly living the dream many of us have. And part of the reason I sought you out was because you never know what the future holds. Perhaps one day things might change, and I will always remember and keep everything you guys have passed on to us as one of my favorite options.
Came across your videos while viewing other sailing vessels. Love your videos, I am hooked. I am always amazed how people like you two have the guts to drop your structured life and follow dreams. I am a retired member of the RCN. Would love to spend some time sailing the tropics with seasoned crew. Any suggestions????
You guys Rock! Love watching your videos about the both of you following your dream. It is certainly a cool one. They keep my motivated while I ride my bike on the trainer during our soggy PNW winters.
Man Ben, the intro you did was beautiful! This entire edition was so laid back. Well, if you are South of the equator, Happy Spring, North? Happy Autumn.
Having found your channel by accident, I was and still am intrigued by the name Nahoa. After binge watching just to catch up and keep things in context I can honestly state the your editing skills are up there with the best producers of content around. You have a unique presenting style that is infectious, which brings across you love of life in general.
We did something similar by giving up the careers in the UK in our 40's and moving to beautiful NS Canada!! (And just officially became Canuck citizens this week!). The boat dream is still on the list though. Through sharing your decision and amazing vids more and more people are realizing that there really is more to life. We are self employed - have way less spare cash and still have a mortgage - but do what we love and get to live in an amazing community and with a white sandy beach at the bottom of the garden (yard)! Like you and so many others fore-going the hamster wheel we can all say "We win" !! Fair winds and thanks for sharing.
Underwater in Tropical unspoiled islands . Loved Fakarava, Fiji. Looking fwd to Raja Ampat. Currently living on my Aussie partner cat : a Perry 43 at a mooring in Airlie beach, QLD. The world still holds a few treasures, but underwater is where I am the happiest. Been diving for 40 years.
You both are such an inspiration to me and my wife. We hope to meet you someday while we go on our own adventure which we hope leaves in about 1.5 yrs.
You guys are Rad! Super stoked for the two of you. Sooo digging on tagging along on your bitchin’ adventures with you. Been surfin’ for 43 years now and I can totally relate to being in and around the ocean. Not many of us can just split and sail around the world like the two of you have but, I’m always amazed and stoked for those who can. 🤙🏼
Those 'button mushroom' islands remind me of those in the Philippines. Yes, those rocks are quite sharp. They get sharp from thousands of years of erosion (from rain, wind, sun I guess?).
"Naw Flip Flops are fine" Ben your my brotha from another motha, I have said that exact same thing multiple times. You guys are awesome, Keep up the great content and happy adventures.
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures🙏🏻. Its sweet to watch people I can relate to living their dream and moving to the beat of their own drum. I get to escape with you for a few minutes each video and lie to myself that I might do it too lol. Your both funny, genuine and lots of fun to watch. Keep it up!! Love from Vancouver
Indonesia consist of thousands large and small islands surrounded by sea... Thank you for have shown us the natural beauty of Indonesia... hidden paradise:) Big respect 2U
"I don't know what I'm gonna do now" I for one, hope ya keep doing what your doing, keep going and come back around again. See you in Gizo. I've watched this episode for the 3rd, and not the last time. Have always loved your content, camera work and editing but this is the first time I got hooked on the audio input. The music and sound engineering are great. Highly recommend it should be replayed with head phones on
Ben and Ashley; love your channel and your desire to "break the mold” of everyday life many accept as the norm. Your travels are inspirational, and bring me happiness for my days ahead. Keep cruisin’. Keep livin’.
This is great that you two have the nerves to take risk. Most of us professionals are always concerned about the "coins" we make. We know that time is a constant variable and it is always moving forward. If there was an emergency, is there a plan? Sorry to be so intrusive. However, I think your lifestyle is healthy but as an engineer, I calculating the expense. Also, the beautiful CAT you are on cost. Can you help the general audience with cost breakdown. Godspeed to you and wishing you the best mate. Thanks for sharing your dream with the rest of us chickens who worries about tomorrow. It's interesting, as a Christian, we are taught over and over that God provides our needs. I have seen God love for me but I guess we still like to take total control of our life but in the end, we control nothing ... Take care and thanks again. If you need a deckhand, I'm free while I'm in between jobs. .... Nothing in life is permanent, but God's love 😉 If you take me up on my offer, I'll pick up my dive gear from Asia and come see you ...
Just wanted to say you two rock! Keep the awesome vids coming. Thanks for all the advice and tips, I’m almost ready to buy my own boat and follow in your footsteps. The 9-5 just ain’t for me 😊 Stay safe and enjoy! Bevan
Awesome guys. Beautiful words of what real natural ocean life is. And what not real city life is. Wonderful contrast. Hope your videos were like 30 minutes long. Saludos , Suerte.
you describe it so inspirational! I can relate to it so much and I hope that I could do the same life change someday! I think you two are weary enjoyable too follow! you are awesome!
I know leaving the 9 to 5 life is wonderful, but what will happen when you come back. Suddenly life is back to ”normal 9 to 5” and you wonder what happend to your dreams of a different life. Having children and raise a family is one of the great things in life. How will your mix look like. Even all the paradise places you come to now is starting to look the same. What is your next step? Would be nice if you could share your thoughts about that.
Haven't watched the video yet but having children is not the greatest thing for some. For some couples, probably same for Ben and Ash, being together is already great and they probably don't feel any missing piece (a child) in their life and they probably decided to stay child free. They probably retired with enough passive income so that they will never need to go back to "normal 9 to 5". These are my assumptions and I agree it would be nice to hear their thoughts on this.
Wow! Some amazing seascapes! Beautiful underwater video! Amazing job you two! Hopefully you were not around for the Earthquakes in Sumbersari and Pendok Indonesia both over 6.0.
I'd quit the modern world if it wasn't for the wife and three kids. Spare a thought for those of us trapped in emotional debt, and other people's fears.
Your kids will be 18 in no time. Start thinking about YOU sometimes (secretly for now, just have a mental plan) my Dad did it, he bailed to do his own thing the moment we could fend for ourselves and he's never been happier.
Where's my happy place? With you guys getting to see all these amazing places and people threw your amazing work !! Also the sea of Cortez I'm in Tucson Arizona it's 3.5 HR drive to the water
So pissed we missed meeting you in Fiji Ben the introduction was truly fantastic Higher power willing maybe one day we will meet hope to own a 410 Had any good fishing? Have an awesome dingy now ready for the cat The dingy is all aluminium with 7 seperate compartments and 30 Tohatsu its 3.8m or 12 foot Would a dingy this size fit on a 410 ? The dingy is so kitted can troll 4 fishing lines its the same type as the Delos one just .5m longer 2 foot longer It has a Bimini etc etc You guys are the BEST!!!!!!!!
great stuff as always. watching your work puts me in my happy place. anyways....this channel gets better and better every episode. how good can it get?? looking forward to finding out. thanks for having me along.
Holy stunning Batman! Can’t wait till my vlogs are this Hot! I have traveled a lot and never thought about vlogging it much before until recently but so glad there are others out there to show us the beauty of this world
Me and the father in law climbed table mountain in flip flops with people on their decent fully racked with climbing boots and poles saying we need to turn back. We made it no problem
Here's a fear of mine anchoring in deep water and not being able to retrieve the anchor.. What to do? i would need to have something capable of cutting the chain. Please let me know if you have thoughts on this let me know.. for ex you mention anchoring in 45m !
usually, anchor chains are attached to the boat by rope. one point for this is, it can easily be cut with a knife if needs must. if you dont wanna let go of your anchor, and if windlass has a capstan, you can easily support it manually or with the help of the other capstans on board; if the anchor is not stuck down there, just the length of chain too heavy for the windlass, all you need is a rope and the ability to dive (Apnoe)) down at least a couple of meters: dive down, fix the rope to the chain (knot or carabiner), bring the other end on board. now it is a matter of capstan or arm power to support the windlass. of course, you can improvise a pulley set by tying off one end of the rope to the boat and threading in through the carabiner down where you fixed it on the anchor chain, bring the other end up on board and pull there. you can multiply these pulleys (I assume you are familiar with the system). however, if you have scuba on board, you cannot just dive down to free a stuck anchor, but Lifting heavy objects is just routine procedures: dive down as far as is safe, attach a lifting device (bag, canister...), fill it with air - if it does not lift the whole anchor + chain, it at least supports the windlass enough to do so.
Thanks for reminding the rest of us we live in the matrix, ....ugh. Well at least we can live vicariously through our favorite sailors who swallowed the blue pill.
A keeper video for sure. Be sure to thank all the 9 to 5s or you would have no one selling food, making yachts etc... if you talk them all into going back to what life truly is all about, should be all about :-)
Where's your happy place?

I know leaving the 9 to 5 life is wonderful, but what will happen when you come back. Suddenly life is back to ”normal 9 to 5” and you wonder what happend to your dreams of a different life.

Haven't watched the video yet but having children is not the greatest thing for some. For some couples, probably same for Ben and Ash, being together is already great and they probably don't feel any missing piece (a child) in their life and they probably decided to stay child free.
They probably retired with enough passive income so that they will never need to go back to "normal 9 to 5".
These are my assumptions and I agree it would be nice to hear their thoughts on this.

I love your guys story so much!
I'm in Indonesia right now! Here for another month and a bit 💃 will give you a wave if I see the boat pass by 😉
Here's a fear of mine anchoring in deep water and not being able to retrieve the anchor.. What to do? i would need to have something capable of cutting the chain. Please let me know if you have thoughts on this let me know.. for ex you mention anchoring in 45m !
usually, anchor chains are attached to the boat by rope. one point for this is, it can easily be cut with a knife if needs must. if you dont wanna let go of your anchor, and if windlass has a capstan, you can easily support it manually or with the help of the other capstans on board; if the anchor is not stuck down there, just the length of chain too heavy for the windlass, all you need is a rope and the ability to dive (Apnoe)) down at least a couple of meters: dive down, fix the rope to the chain (knot or carabiner), bring the other end on board. now it is a matter of capstan or arm power to support the windlass. of course, you can improvise a pulley set by tying off one end of the rope to the boat and threading in through the carabiner down where you fixed it on the anchor chain, bring the other end up on board and pull there. you can multiply these pulleys (I assume you are familiar with the system). however, if you have scuba on board, you cannot just dive down to free a stuck anchor, but Lifting heavy objects is just routine procedures: dive down as far as is safe, attach a lifting device (bag, canister...), fill it with air - if it does not lift the whole anchor + chain, it at least supports the windlass enough to do so.
Another awesome video! Please keep em coming!
Thanks for reminding the rest of us we live in the matrix, ....ugh.
Well at least we can live vicariously through our favorite sailors who swallowed the blue pill.
Holy paradise Batman! You guys have such beautiful souls!
A keeper video for sure. Be sure to thank all the 9 to 5s or you would have no one selling food, making yachts etc... if you talk them all into going back to what life truly is all about, should be all about :-)
Dankeschön for this gorgeous episode.
