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.

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.

Customs realizing these two are bloggers and rushly checked the youtube: *yes its our time to shine. Let us be part of your video*

Watching your videos is like getting a bachelor's degree in sailing around the world. Great videos, thanks

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 :)

her JOY and smile makes the whole thing worth it

The Philippines is a beautiful country that's filled with some of the friendliest people on earth. Enjoy your stay there.

You have the best sailing channel ever keep up the good work

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'm seriously considering this within the next 2 years !!! 46 and think it's now or never and why not!!!

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 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

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.

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. 😻

As a Filipino now in USA, glad you like how people fix things there. When you showed up cebu, I feel homesick right away

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. 👍

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

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.

One of the best sailing channels and I watch a lot.

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

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!

Thank you both, through all you videos I feel like gone on the same adventure WOW!!!

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

Our pleasure! The Philippines has been our top #1 country. Absolutely incredible people and experiences.

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!

Really like how technical you two get, and your humane fishing practices. Keep the teaching coming!

I love your chilled out canuck attitude from an expat fellow canuck living in Bangkok

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.

Awesome positive attitude. Just keep smiling and have fun. Love it!

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!

It's a privilege to visit us! We just want you to spend a lot of money and then get out of here!

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!!

You guys have the right attitude in dealing that customs and immigration. Great advice, thanks! Jim and Joann

What a positive and upbeat video of a potentially tedious subject. I am glad that you had a positive experience in the Philippines!

What a great attitude. It's all part of the adventure.

I thoroughly enjoy your adventures, your attitudes, your gentle manners! Safe travels!!

so wonderful to see how the people react to you! Very useful infos, thanks, Tom!

Your the most informative sailing channel. I enjoy watching your journeys .

What a great informative blog! Can’t wait for the next one guys!👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

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...

Love the channel. Thanks for putting out this kind of information- very helpful for us future sailors looking to travel the world.

Fantastic as well as informative video! Have a great time. Looking forward to your next video as usual. Fair winds Ben & Ashley!

Thank you guys again.We always really enjoy your adventures. Ash you are such a ‘bubble” !

Have a blast. Thanks

Best sailing channel on KZread!

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.

Thank you for coming to the Philippines ❤❤❤

Great video. Thanks. Love your attitude for dealing with check in.

I just love your attitudes.. always positive. Great video, thank you!

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

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

wow mabuhay!!! welcome to Philippines!!! im Filipino watching you guys eversince

Yep - awesome sailing channel. No pretenders on this craft!

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!

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

Welcome to Cebu, Philippines! Mabuhay!😍

you guys are wonderful, vibe, message, smiles

Great video! Really important info and your attitude is awesome.

Love your patience. I have none for bureaucracy.

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.

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!

Love you two! Don’t stop 🛑

Welcome to the Philipines! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 I just subscribed to your channel and i like your videos.. you two are amazing people!

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.

Maganda sa Pinas!!! MABUHAY!!!! Nakatira ako ngayon sa California, pero naka punta ako sa Pinas noon November, noong wala pa ang coronavirus.

Your advice is always as good as your fishing skills...masterful. 😜👍👍✌️

Oh my! That is a real adventure! Take care always!

Welcome to the Philippines. You two are amazing.

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.

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!!!

that part where they found your channel was so adorable

I love that you guys handline fish these days-best way ever.

Love your Vids. Thankyou for the info.I am starting out learning what happens at sea and what local knowledge. I will stay in touch

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.

You guys are just awesome and I hate using that word as I'm British but you know what? You guys rock.

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.

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..

Awesome video! You give so much important info in your videos! The big catch was awesome!!!!

wow you guys are living your life....keep sailing...be safe

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...

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!

Another great video from my fav channel guys, keep up the good work 😎👌Azz🇬🇧

Love joy peace wealth & abundance from Thailand .

I not only get so much enjoyment from your videos but I get a lot of knowledge.. thank you

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.

Fishing never gets old...........

Welcome to the Philippines.. our beloved country.I am always watching your videos guys its an amazing videos,God bless you and take care always.

Thanks for the breakdown of sailing between nation documents and steps. "Expedited" services can be quite common here.

345 days to wait for our own departure.... in the mean time we are happy to follow your adventures from Belgium.

Good one guys. Well done!! Super informative. Tx.
