Don't stay in the Philippines or the place will steal your heart! It did mine. 20 years later, I am part of a Filipino family and live on the Island of Bohol. Don't measure what you can take, measure what you can give. You will never regret it. Hint with government offices in the Philippines...dress up. It is a sign of respect.
I love your guys positive attitude!!! Recognizing the privilege of being able to visit these countries and thanking them for having you just wraps you up in a nutshell for me. A beautiful couple filled with gratitude on the adventure of a lifetime. Thank you for these awesome videos :)
I agree, it is nice to follow people out sailing that actually know how to sail, how to check in correctly, what sails to fly, Etc, AND talk about what is a need on a boat compared to a want.
Jian Grey i am ur latest subscriber do more videos about the philippine seas and the islands and each day get more and more subscribers. Theyd love to be a part of ur adventure. ❤️ 1 second ago
I would just like to say you guys make the most interesting sailing videos out of all of them. You give lots of details and explanations that others do not, and that makes them very interesting. Keep up the good work!
I am working on a sailboat project and plan to sail around awhile. I appreciate the details regarding immigration and also about the international boat registration, I was unaware of this prior to seeing this episode. Thank you David
You guys seems so humble and I love watching those kind of people on youtube. I am so glad to know that you have positive and happy vibes with our country despite of some odds. Maybe you would like to establish some yacht factory or shipyard in the Philippines for business when you retire.. hehe
Useful knowledge. I was a ships Writer in the 1960's and regularly dealt with Port Health, Immigration and Customs. If any official said it was their birthday that generally meant a free bottle of whiskey or similar would be gratefully received. Good luck.
Great video again. I was stationed in Japan in 70- 71 and 73-74 in the Marine Corps air Wing. I spent 39 days at a time t,here and loved that place. The hand lines that you have on your boat are 200 pound test witch have very little give in them. I used to fish a lot till I got older. But we used a black rubber bungee straps with steel S hooks on each end to give the line some spring. Hook one S hook to your boat then hook the fishing line to the other S hook. Leave some slack line so that rubber tie down can absorb the shock when the fish hits the lure or bait. Make sure to tie off the line on the boat encase the rubber strap breaks. I used to commercial fish up in Florida Keys and we did great using that with 125 to 150 pound test. Love your video's and thanks again for the time that you spend making them.
Thanks for visiting my country Philippines i was so proud for being one of the places that you visited with nice people like me he he ... watching from Vancouver bc keep safe. thank you two
Great attitude to customs and immigration process. It is a privilege to be allowed to enter their country and have smile. Even your attitude to bribes was gracious. It has me liking your channel more and more.
SUCH a great and useful episode!!! I've been following you guys for some 6 months and loving how your videos have progressed!! Keep up the great work and hope to catch you on the water somewhere!!!! Fair winds!
So glad you guys made it to the Philippines. Don't let poverty ruin your stay. It's one of the best places to visit and your dollar goes a long way. Enjoy!
Very well put together channel!!! I love you guys!!! My wife and I have dreamed of this adventure for YEARS!! The information you’ve provided on your channel is invaluable. Keep doing what you do!!
This is such valuable information. I suspect many viewers are like me and dreaming and scheming how to make this our life in the coming years. This detailed video of “how life works” is why I watch yours and others videos. Thanks for posting this.
im from Philippines i love so much your video clips,, and i love so much exploring the ocean and catch fish,, hope you two are always a very safe and much enjoyment cuisine together,, god speed,, and safe always
As a merchant seafarer we use "Guide to port Entry". There is a list of required papers and certificates that you will be needing at port, just make sure it is updated. Agents are very useful too if provided.
Hi guys!New subscriber here.I am a Filipino and I am proud to be one. Thank you for visiting our country.You guys would definitely love our country.. looking foward for more videos...
When you have a tough day - remind yourselves that great experiences like these await you and also, what wonderful content creators you are. Bring on 500K subs and beyond. Carpe diem x
Actually that is the respectful thing you should when you are in other country. Respecting the law and getting over it or being arrogant. Stay safe always you two. So very adventurous and courageous you two are.
I love cruising around the world and I've been working onboard mega yachts. Come back next time to the Philippines and enjoy island hopping here. Keep safe always...
I had no idea the paperwork was so involved. I assumed it might be a bit more involved than checking through customs after a flight. Whoa. I guess I'll have to adjust my expectations and roll with it. My boat will be small, a Westerly 28 or 31. 👍
I envy these couples. I wish 1 day i can sail with my own just within the philippine islands. You guys are awesome and an inspiration. I love your adventures!
Thanks for the detailed video about checking into one particular country and laying out some of the popular twists, variations, and actual expenses. Weirdly, it makes some more sense why one has to wander across a city to three different places.
@@working2bselfsufficient724 Probably,....we started filming the prep. but don't know yet what part of the travel, as we are more focussed on Kiteboarding and diving than boat life ... we are thinking about having a PADI dive center + IKO kite center onboard.
Having been born in the Philippines and not having seen it since 2001, I am looking forward to seeing your video and impressions of my former homeland. More a Canuck now than anything else after 53 years living in WINTERPEG, the old NWT (pre division of NWT) and Yukon.
I love watching your videos! Such an inspiration. This is the best way to live your life. Hopefully one day I have the guts to make that big step 👍 keep the beautiful videos and advise going !
I loved the part where customs are watching your channel and talking to you!! That must be really great! Sorry for the late response, I recently started following and watching from the beginning of your journey!!
Your information videos are always very well constructed/produced.........here's the situation and this is how you resolve it. A beginning, middle and end with very little fluff, (because they are well thought out and presented). The way it should be done but, more often than not, most videos prattle on and on and on........THX!
I hope you had a good time in the Philippines, i know how sketchy the process of getting in and all the paper works but thanks for visiting. you have a Great Channel..
Great approach, love the positive attitudes, even about $300-500 agents, and AMAs. I’ve seen the negative results of not sending the “email” and their trip was ruined and budget blown.
Great information! just what I needed. We are on a snail pace to circumnavigate. currently in southern Bahamas working toward Grenada for mid Julyish. Expecting to go through canal next March. You guys are an inspiration.
Don't Worry, Be Happy! 😃 Sorry, but that just popped in my head right at the end. It's been lotsa years since I even herd that let alone said it. Out loud. Thanks for another great one!
Wow...that was So much informative information, I’ve never heard another sailing channel give so many details on checking into a country. I just found your channel today and love it so much especially since I’m wanting to go to the Philippines and I am kind of dating a girl there. Thanks for the awesome video and look forward to seeing more.
How do you get boat papers? And if you chose a life on the sea full time how do you register your boat to a country that you no longer live or associate to?
Fellow Canadian just in elnido like 1.5 weeks ago, me and my gf staid with an Australia couple on their yatch out of vanilla beach! Loved it there! If you are still in the area look Them up!!!
Best information so far, exactly what I needed to know, as I have a very similar plan to enter the Philippines in 2021 by Private Boat, so thank you... Quarantine, Immigration, Customs. excellent
Hi there... awesome couple! thanks .... I would say, Danke Schon :) for choosing the Philippines to be included in your itinerary and hoping you visit the country again in a no distant future... God Bless your way... safe voyage always
Wow this was a great recommendation by RUclips. I learned stuff and you two are really great! Subbed. There are a ton of cruising tubers out there but something a bit different about yours. Cheers!
We love your videos! Very informative for those of us who have this same dream. You provide a fun video yet teaching us how and what to do.. I think its great! Thanks again and looking forward to the next.
a 1 month stay in the Philippines is a must in order for you to experience and feel the warmth of my countrymen and enjoy most of the fine beaches in my country. more vidz please...
very helpful info, thx. & i'm wondering if you guys going to stop at any port in saudi arabia when you sail the red sea? also waiting for your report on the situation in Bab-el-Mandeb strait.
This is a terrific video thanks adds to my knowledge and confidence we're sad you missed visiting australia despite the cost and over governance of this country (getting worse by the day) we really enjoy your videos and we are preparing our house for sale and started searching for and looking at lagoon catamarans most out Of our price , now mono hulls look really uncomfortable to us We're going to buy offshore (in another country ) and I've got a lot of insight from your experiences which we want to make our experience, I know there's a lot of "going to "and "will " involved in this like a lot of people but I always do what I target in the end , you've got a great partnership there and you're catching good fish , (surprisingly a lot of my friends who have sailed around the earth have caught bugger all fish) So you're doing something right , this was a good video and they've been getting better and better , we have found the boat search process so dispiriting and seems like it's FOR EVER before this show gets on the road , anyway thanks for your videos we look forward to your travels and we love people that get IN the water, we love it too.
Hi Nahoa thanks again for sharing your knowledge top stuff. We have a question if you could answer please , what happens or what should you do with you open food products like flour or rice etc. we can find all the info on sealed food stuff but not on what you have on board that are staples to all you food. ⛵️
Love your videos. Silly question - on your nil list there was “fishes” - I assume that is live fish? In the video you had earlier caught a fish. Stored fish would not be a problem would it?
You guys are awesome i cannot imagine my self traveling to sea that long be safe guys i hope you can back here in the philippines i am a fan now God bless!
Don't stay in the Philippines or the place will steal your heart! It did mine. 20 years later, I am part of a Filipino family and live on the Island of Bohol. Don't measure what you can take, measure what you can give. You will never regret it. Hint with government offices in the Philippines...dress up. It is a sign of respect.
A Philippines Adventure good advise thankyou
This is truth. The Philippines is a magical place. Lived there for 2 years as a missionary. I still miss it more than a decade later.
Key west does the same, steals your heart
Bohol is gorgeous!
I lived in Baguio for four years and got to visit Bohol. Such a great place
Steal my heart too.. always homesick away from philippine 😭😭😭😭
I love your guys positive attitude!!! Recognizing the privilege of being able to visit these countries and thanking them for having you just wraps you up in a nutshell for me. A beautiful couple filled with gratitude on the adventure of a lifetime. Thank you for these awesome videos :)
I don't know how you guys don't have 200K subs...best sailing channel on YT, IMO...and I watch a lot of them!
They probably didn't buy 150k fake ones - their videos get about as many views as some with three times the subscribers.
I agree it blows my mind
if the filipinos watch their videos specially the philippine series its easy for them to attract 100k subscriber.
I agree, it is nice to follow people out sailing that actually know how to sail, how to check in correctly, what sails to fly, Etc,
AND talk about what is a need on a boat compared to a want.

i am ur latest subscriber

Watching your videos is like getting a bachelor's degree in sailing around the world. Great videos, thanks
You guys have the right attitude in dealing that customs and immigration. Great advice, thanks! Jim and Joann

Our pleasure! The Philippines has been our top #1 country. Absolutely incredible people and experiences.
The Philippines is a beautiful country that's filled with some of the friendliest people on earth. Enjoy your stay there.
As a Filipino now in USA, glad you like how people fix things there. When you showed up cebu, I feel homesick right away
Great attitude to customs and immigration process. It is a privilege to be allowed to enter their country and have smile. Even your attitude to bribes was gracious. It has me liking your channel more and more.
You guys are amazing! I'm filipino - American from New Jersey. I hope you guys enjoy my beautiful country Philippines. Enjoy your journey god bless!

Hi guys!New subscriber here.I am a Filipino and I am proud to be one. Thank you for visiting our country.You guys would definitely love our country.. looking foward for more videos...
Good advice
We luv your attitude 'its a privilage to enter their country'
Keep up the great vids
Have a wonderful time!
its white mans tax to visit their country
When you're paying agents and fees to enter a country, it's no longer a privilege, it's just a transaction. :(
We luv your attitude 'its a privilage to enter their country'
They don't really mean that, they are taping themselves. Sheesh.
When you have a tough day - remind yourselves that great experiences like these await you and also, what wonderful content creators you are. Bring on 500K subs and beyond. Carpe diem x
Actually that is the respectful thing you should when you are in other country. Respecting the law and getting over it or being arrogant. Stay safe always you two. So very adventurous and courageous you two are.
Welcome to the Philipines! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 I just subscribed to your channel and i like your videos.. you two are amazing people!
One of the best sailing channels and I watch a lot.
I love cruising around the world and I've been working onboard mega yachts. Come back next time to the Philippines and enjoy island hopping here. Keep safe always...
Thank you both, through all you videos I feel like gone on the same adventure WOW!!!
I love your chilled out canuck attitude from an expat fellow canuck living in Bangkok
Philippines is one of the best place to stay. There's alot places around the Philippines to visit. Such a beautiful and amazing kind Filipinos. 😻
I had no idea the paperwork was so involved. I assumed it might be a bit more involved than checking through customs after a flight. Whoa. I guess I'll have to adjust my expectations and roll with it. My boat will be small, a Westerly 28 or 31. 👍
Thanks for the breakdown of sailing between nation documents and steps.
"Expedited" services can be quite common here.
I thoroughly enjoy your adventures, your attitudes, your gentle manners! Safe travels!!
I envy these couples. I wish 1 day i can sail with my own just within the philippine islands. You guys are awesome and an inspiration. I love your adventures!
Thanks for the detailed video about checking into one particular country and laying out some of the popular twists, variations, and actual expenses. Weirdly, it makes some more sense why one has to wander across a city to three different places.
What a positive and upbeat video of a potentially tedious subject. I am glad that you had a positive experience in the Philippines!
345 days to wait for our own departure.... in the mean time we are happy to follow your adventures from Belgium.
You filming and documenting it?
@@working2bselfsufficient724 Probably,....we started filming the prep. but don't know yet what part of the travel, as we are more focussed on Kiteboarding and diving than boat life ... we are thinking about having a PADI dive center + IKO kite center onboard.

Getting addicted with you channel...love your adventure. If I can only afford to do it. MABUHAY from the Philippines!!!

Really like how technical you two get, and your humane fishing practices. Keep the teaching coming!
How do you get boat papers? And if you chose a life on the sea full time how do you register your boat to a country that you no longer live or associate to?
Fantastic as well as informative video! Have a great time. Looking forward to your next video as usual.
Fair winds Ben & Ashley!
Hi guys Im from Philippines,take care of the small fishing boat there. Mostly of them are sleeping in midnight. Bon voyages nice blog 💟

This is the best advice I ever got, so nice of you, hope to see more videos like this, thank you to both of you.🧜♂️🧜♀️💐💐💐
a 1 month stay in the Philippines is a must in order for you to experience and feel the warmth of my countrymen and enjoy most of the fine beaches in my country. more vidz please...
Beautiful fish! That was cool to see Ben pull it in on the boat.
Maganda sa Pinas!!! MABUHAY!!!! Nakatira ako ngayon sa California, pero naka punta ako sa Pinas noon November, noong wala pa ang coronavirus.
very helpful info, thx. & i'm wondering if you guys going to stop at any port in saudi arabia when you sail the red sea? also waiting for your report on the situation in Bab-el-Mandeb strait.
This is a terrific video thanks adds to my knowledge and confidence we're sad you missed visiting australia despite the cost and over governance of this country (getting worse by the day) we really enjoy your videos and we are preparing our house for sale and started searching for and looking at lagoon catamarans most out
Of our price , now mono hulls look really uncomfortable to us
We're going to buy offshore (in another country ) and I've got a lot of insight from your experiences which we want to make our experience, I know there's a lot of "going to "and "will " involved in this like a lot of people but I always do what I target in the end , you've got a great partnership there and you're catching good fish , (surprisingly a lot of my friends who have sailed around the earth have caught bugger all fish)
So you're doing something right , this was a good video and they've been getting better and better , we have found the boat search process so dispiriting and seems like it's FOR EVER
before this show gets on the road , anyway thanks for your videos we look forward to your travels and we love people that get IN the water, we love it too.
I had no idea it would be that complex.!! Really appreciate the heads up.!! Thank you Guys!!
Great video. Thanks. Love your attitude for dealing with check in.

Ha.. Ha.. When they find out your also a vlogger your in good hands.. In the Philippines we love and respect vloggers.
Love your videos. Silly question - on your nil list there was “fishes” - I assume that is live fish? In the video you had earlier caught a fish. Stored fish would not be a problem would it?
Welcome to Cebu, Philippines!
Mabuhay!😍
You guys are awesome i cannot imagine my self traveling to sea that long be safe guys i hope you can back here in the philippines i am a fan now God bless!
