People that don’t sail or adventure have really low risk tolerance. Looks like the kids are having a blast! Had my three month old in a pfd, on the sole of my sailboat. Raise β€˜em like ya live!

Hi, you are inspiring and your stories interesting and informative. I lived for many years between Victoria and Vancouver involved with boat building there "The Yngling" which became Olympic class. Although am originally from Norway. I hope to retire soon and join more of a sailing lifestyle. It is also where I am most at rest.

We just love watching you adventure, learn about and share life experiences with humans around the world, and teach your kids a new world view. You make parenting, partnering and sailing (and fishing) look like fun while also keeping it real. Your ability to communicate your experiences and emotions are amazing and all of this keeps us watching. Willa and Bodhi are the cutest! I love watching them grow. As a retired educator, I enjoy learning from you as parents. Fear is such a debilitating emotion that we teach our kids at an early age. Why not teach them to learn instead? Keep on keeping on. Don’t listen to the wackos. πŸ₯΄πŸ˜ŠπŸ₯°

We enjoy watching your family’s adventures, & welcome back to Canada. I always say to my husband if Ben were to do something other than sailing, he has a perfect narrative voice.

I’m sure there must be others that think you have that Morgan Freeman’s voice vibe.

Congratulations on the circumnavigation around the world. Not many people do it, but you guys did it twice... LOL. 2nd time with two kids under 3.. My respect.

Keep going, I can wait to see you do it aging with the new cat.

PS - Your kids are total YouTube stars, The baby is "BOSS BABY", and your cute little girl is totally the sane person in the family. Mom and Dad are total nut jobs and thats why we love you all.
