Raising Young Children at Sea

Hello, love you guys! Only question I have is what about the diapers? There must be a ton with two kids. Are they biodegradable or do you have to store them until you hit shore? Stay safe out there ! ❤❤

I have been enjoying you videos so much... Of all the sailors I follow, I feel like I would get along best with your family... Your marriage is an inspiration. Keep being so open and honest about a life at sea and I will join you in retirement one day.

love you guyz

You guys are so awesome, with the new additions, it never stop you guys from sailing around the world. Please consider saipan in the northern Marianas Islands on your next stop while in the pacific. Safe sailing guys.

why Germany flag?
if you add cats, birds... you will have more views
also those kids being raised in boat, will have tremendous balance abilities

Can I ask why you fly the 🇩🇪 German flag
?💜🇦🇺

It’s unbelievable….. god bless you

Just remember at the end of the day both your children are healthy and happy and y'all in the end are really awesome parents remember the peanut allergy that your daughter went through because of the Mayo mayonnaise that you didn't know that was light mayonnaise head peanuts and it will guess what that's not your fault and I didn't even know that and I don't live on a boat so God bless you girl you're doing a great job and quit sweating so much y'all

My son changed everything but ...




.. I never let him be an excuse to not do something.

When he was 3 months old we got invited to go snowboarding at a friend’s cabin at Lake Tahoe. When I told his mom she was fuming and said, “I’m not going to sit in some cabin watching kids while everyone gets to go snowboarding!” So I explained that everyone was going to snowboard while each person takes a 2 hour shift watching the kid. It was a great time and a great lesson in how to adapt to make everything fun with my son.

Having raised a couple of kids myself I knew exactly what you were in for having kids. They definitely give our lives meaning in ways nothing else will, it's the single greatest reward in life. I knew exactly where my kids were for the first 12 years at every moment of every day. Being on a boat only amplifies the need to keep an eye on them. You're not only doing it, you are doing it well. Keep it up.

Yes, everything changes when you have kids, so true. But it is a good thing as well. Being responsible for 2 little ones adds some stress but in the end it is all worth it. I think everyone is doing great! ❤️

I think aewsomeeee lol

Ualll!!! Sister you look amazing after given birth few month ago!!! ualll Congrats looking hot!!!

Love your channel

I loved this video ! You’re all so happy!!❤️❤️❤️

I would just be nervous regarding problems with the children and god forbid if you come across medical problems how would you go about getting treatment for them ??

Be careful 2 pirate or plain robbers try to climb aboard ur boat u have 2 small kids,need something to used to defend, incase they force to board your boat. Did you report it to the authorities? Just be carerul.

I never can understand why people that live on a boat , complain about where they chose to live . It's not logical for them to complain about their choice !

That was cool........

First lesson when going sailing.
ALWAYS wear a life west.
Especially the children.

guys your videos look amazing what camera you use for your daily vlogs

Put a toilet plunger on the outside of the hull and someone drill from the inside so u can send a new transducer you will get les then a gallon of water

Willa the Chilla is becoming quite the Silla (also known as Sailor). The way she was gazing over your safety net and then she turns to walk back into the cockpit and she knows enough to steady herself grabbing ropes and post which she realized that she needed a different hand set up to hold a pole a bit larger than her wee hand so she adjusted her grip. Too cool to see that. Bodi, well he's going to have you both chasing after him when he starts running around...not walking, I believe he's going to run and then learn to slow down a bit. He's going to be adding his own commentary to future videos that you make when he knows all the words he wants to say along with either giving the one on the helm directions when coming to an anchorage or just taking the wheel himself to head back out on the water ( which might be the reason he gets loud trying to tell you that he wants go on sailing)...mainland is for slow people in his thinking, that and I believe he likes the feel of the waves beneath him...another true sailor. You can see that when he's sleeping...totally relaxed and wide open to the feeling of the waves. This is going to be interesting to watch them get bigger. Speaking of bigger, you need a small lovable dog with a BIG voice for anyone who tries to come near his pack. Stop off at Greece and look up a guy named Takis. He has a channel where he goes out to rescue dogs and cats. He's got over four hundred now and lets them run free in the different pens he's had built. He watches the dogs and cats and gets to know which ones get along and which ones don't then changes the set up. Puts one with another group and watches. Just a thought. Good luck, you are going to need it with your munchgins.

kids are awesome and grand kids are off the charts don't ever regret your decision and don't give up the dream its no longer just yours its your family's awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can mount depth sounders to shoot through the hull from the inside on regular boats, not 100% sure about sail boat hulls. Also look into communication headsets, Sailing GBU just got a set through sponsorship I believe.

never thought you guys will come here.

sailing with kids is like sailing with lead everyone can do it

drops bottle keeps winching loveeeeee it

Our kids were much better behaved when they were younger. You 2are doing a great job.

Ashley you have my sympathy. Our kids are 5and7 it can be rough and we are on dry land.

What a terrible experience having people come aboard your boat in the middle of the night. Hope all is well. Keep them babies safe. Love your videos.

Hi guys, On your last video Ashley had a necklace on that my wife thought were very nice. Is that something you sell. Of not can you tell where you got it from. Thanks
Stay strong. Gary

Love what you guys are doing. Any knocker’s tell them to get stuffed and continue with what you are doing. Love it

⛵Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.⛵

did you fixed the cracks?

Changing a thru hull transducer on the water may sound scary but it’s not that bad of a job. I’ve done it a few times. Also you can mount them inside the hull temporarily and they will “shoot thru” the hull. Just an idea..

This makes me want to sell all the stuff load my family up and enjoy exploring the world and get away from crazy thats going on now days. The freedom, the unique live views your kids will have

Great video. Be well and stay strong. Enjoy these great moments. Any news on the Bullheads?. Greets from a Canuck in Greece.

Great video guys……kudos on handling the boarding !!!

Dangerous⚠️Is an understatement!!! Sailing the world without a depth sounder is blind sailing, there asking for it.... Especially with so many coral reefs ("Bommies"💥) unmarked that can sink boats quite quickly. Sorry but isn't Thailand about 3,000 miles or more from the Maldives and there's been no way to fix the debt finder or not fall out okay right I feel awful for those kids. I PRAY FOR THEIR SAFETY 🦺 GOD KNOWS I'M NOT WISHING ANY HARM UPON THEM, I JUST HOPE THEY "SMARTEN UP BEFORE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN". 🥺😥
Oh how "exciting", we had an invasion at 2:30 am. Kids are taken daily and sold, why are these people trying to act as Kids are a good thing at Sea - WITHOUT A CREW😳💥 I think it's her trying to act as it's "Doable" when you can clearly see he's having "Opposition" about it! (We can't dive and his overall tone) She's delusional. I seriously hope she WAKES THE F...UP! Fix your boats navigation system GET THE depth sounder fixed 😵‍💫 & hire a crew AT LEAST 1 ADDITIONAL, EVEN IF ITS NOT FOR THE KIDS, BUT TO ASSIST IN SAILING. WTF

Dangerous⚡ Too dangerous, leaving the baby in that chair (he's sitting up in) can definitely slide off that table. The girl with that net, if she wobbled just a few seconds before she had, wondering how horrible that would be to see her fall back into that net. If the man has to be at the HELM, & HER ON THE BOW, ......THEY OUGHTA'BE MORE Responsible and hire a crew member to do the work at bow, or a nanny to sit with kids when they can't. I'M BEING HONEST WHEN I SAY THERE BEING SELFISH.* I've unsubscribed because of the screaming baby when they too busy attending to the waters while sailing. And that little girl might like to color, but with her books falling off the table OH YEAH 👍 THAT WORKS. Hire a damn nanny WTF THERE'S AN EXTRA ROOM ON THAT BOAT.

I have a 2 year old and 1 year old and this episode shoots my anxiety way up haha. We do crazy adventures still with them though. How else will they learn?

I've missed you guys. Loving the journey!! You're doing what I would've loved to do. I could live on a boat definitely!! The kids and you both are doing wonderfully. It's definitely your way. Thank you for sharing wish us all. Continue safe travels, I have some catching up on your videos to do.
Oh I think but never say this, I love that you can fly both the German flag and the red enson too. Pretty cool all of it. 🥰⛵✌️🌷🙏

Its harder with kids ....everywhere...but you have to find a way to show them the world too. Just like you've done. I now have older kids who get bored and opinionated...and i miss those days when they were always in arms reach, full of emotions and giggles. Someone told me...remember it passes and its not forever....it keeps you going. Before long they will be hauling ropes and scuba diving with u!

Heeehawww Sea saw.

I love the kids

What if..always include your babies in your stories.. always include in videos their smiles and activities.. i think your subscribers will like it..

Great work , it will be good when the kids can haul up the sail

I'd go back to thumb tacs . They will never forget.
