I appreciate all aspects, please don't hide the hardship. Life is never just perfect, and even paradise has a cost. 👍 Thank you for your honesty.

You guys are killing it! Don’t apologize for anything. Everyone struggles, especially those telling you not to show it :)

Well said Warren! You can't please all of the people all of the time! Forget about it!

I’ll never be in the position that you and Erica are, but after 68 years of living I do know that there are ups and downs no matter if you’re on the hard or on the water. Continue doing what you’re doing as long as it makes you happy.

Why not I am on the wrong side of 70's and sail . Try to crew for others on race night and pick up some experience . If even pulling a line or extra weight .

Your channel has not ever been negative. Truth is truth. Thank you for sharing your experience. You need couple time. Sending love to you both.

Respect! We are hoping to be there one day. We do understand, and we hope we are your target audience too! Right now, my husband is having similar struggles on land with getting 3 of us ready for the motorcycle season. Life can be a lot.....ups and downs. Thank you for being honest. We truly appreciate it.

I’m impressed every time you two fix anything bc you make it all look so easy and you complain so gently. But I know how much frustration you don’t show bc I know how infuriating each and every unforeseen challenge is when tackling any project. The fact that you can take the time to show it so well by video and make it entertaining is a testament to your hard work at keeping up the boat and with your channel. Thank you for your work and inspiration.

Thanks for sharing your good and bad. Incredible drone, scenery shots, and underwater video. Superb! Appreciate how we all have to work on the House (Boat) and the Car (Dingy) at times. You truly are talented and make these projects work so well. I'm astounded at your inguinity and drive. Love the vlog, glad you are off the hard and enjoying life. Look forward to WE Wednesdays!

I don't often comment on videos but this time I feel guilty for not commenting more on your videos and I'm truly sorry 💔 My girlfriend and I watch your videos every week and it means alot to us to be able to be part of your adventures and follow your amazing story! You guys are so good at what you do and make it look so close to effortless that we kinda.. take it for granted.. even though we have a pretty good idea of how exhausting it must be to try and capture every moment that might be of interest to others! People (myself included) tend to forget the importance of positive feedback when every damn episode you guys make is so incredible well tuned❤️ I will be commenting more often from now on and I hope people realize how important it is to drown the negative comments with the positive ones! YOU GUYS ROCK!!

We all enjoy a bit of eye candy from time to time. But see what it's really like, warts and all. That is what I enjoy about your content. Keeping it real!

Great episode. Don't apologize for struggling. We all have lifes challanges to overcome. Yours just comes with better views and less resources. Best of luck.

I’m up at 4.35am because I can’t sleep. First thing to do is watch your next episode of truth and paradise. Love it. I do think for my wife and I a new boat is the way to go as I’m not mechanically minded. Therefore plans are pushed back a few years. Without your honesty I would have made a mistake and maybe not really studied what boat I was buying. You’ve also shown me how to fix certain problems on the boat I would have called upon others to do. To all the negative people, these guys are living the dream and your obviously not. Thank you and keep having fun in the sun🤿🕶🏝

Thank you Warren for sharing your struggles, Warren. Life of adventure is challenging, thank you for showing it to us!

You guys are awesome! It’s not all rainbows and sunshine, and you do a great portrayal of what it’s actually like. Don’t listen to the critics. Keep being yourselves!

Warren and Erica, you are human and life is full of challenges, rather you are rich, poor or living on a boat. We are very proud of you guys and truly love your content. Keep your heads up and fair sailing.

I myself along with many others want to see the Good the Bad the Ugly. That to me is what makes this such an amazing channel. Stay true to yourselves and do what you do, we love you guys.

Y’all are killing it and I say screw the haters. Continue on 💯

Great job Warren, Erika and Tom, great content, you should be able to say what you want, this is part of life.

Don’t listen to the haters! We love watching you guys. We are your target audience and appreciate you guys!

Another great episode! This is one of our absolute favorite sailing channels (and we watch about a dozen of them regularly). We love the way you tell your story and wouldn't want it any other way! We're in the process of buying our own sailboat and we plan to live on the water for a few years, so we want to see the amazing, the good, the bad and the ugly. Keep up the great work, Warren and Erica! :)

Warren and Erica (and Tom) you are AWESOME! We love your comments on real life actual situations. Bless you!! ❤

We watch you every day. Enjoy your videos so much. You are living the dream. Living on a boat we realise you have ups & downs, not everything goes smooth all the time. We don't mind hearing that you struggle at times. We love hearing from you and watching all that you do. For us you have the best yachting videos that we have seen. ❤

I appreciate seeing the balance this life represents. It’s reality, so keep up your mission and don’t be afraid to show the challenges. In many ways, overcoming the challenges is more important than seeing the beauty around you!

Keepin’ it real! 100% genuine and your audience does love it! 🤍⛵️

Great video, and I especially appreciate your honesty - it is obviously not all fun living on a boat, and when you touch on difficulties, it adds even more reality to this channel - which to me is a great example of a documentary, sharing your life with us. Thank you! There are plenty of channels that show only smiles and sparkles, but that is not what true document should be.

I for one, love seeing the hardships. THAT'S life. Good and bad. Type 2 fun is what keeps me watching. Not the diving beautiful coral reefs or the beach bon fires with cocktails and friends. It's the struggle and the willingness to overcome that is the spice for me. Keep it real. That's why I'm here! You both are an inspiration so don't let the haters get to you.

Keep doing what your doing. Screw the Naaaaa Sayers. Your videos are real and I speak for most saying they are awesome. Cheers

I’m also your target audience, prepping for our first big passage right now. Ignore the negativity and keyboard warriors. Keep on pushing through these tough times…..we love you guys, stay strong, and hopefully see you in an anchorage soon!!

Well said!!! Screw them…. Keep going and don’t change. Family and I love the content and motivation from you guys helps us keep saving $ for our first boat!!!

Hello everybody! First time caller! Warren, let them complain, you and I know there is a great sense of accomplishment after fixing problems. FWIW, I like to see DIY stuff, playtime, sailing, and looking at the scenery. It's the lifestyle, and unless you are Sir Richard you have to do all that stuff yourself. Good job on getting the fuel pump open and cleaned. :¬) Webhead USA

Another great true to life episode. Do not ever feel you have to apologise for “bitching”!! It’s life and we all do it, so it would be wrong if you never showed that.. I hope you start to feel better about things soon and don’t change how you approach life!! Thanks as always for your amazing videos

Thank you for sharing the good, bad and ugly of beautiful boat life, good luck!

Thank you bud!

It is very hard to ignore negative comments when you work so hard to provide a quality product. The people making the comments are strangers for the most part and really don't matter. What really matters is, at the end of the day, how you feel about the work and effort you made. I look forward to watching your weekly updates and getting a lot of pleasure from the EFFORT AND HARD WORK you guys do to provide quality and a real look at the good, bad, and sometimes ugly. Thank you for what you do! Their are more of us out here that feel like I do. The few that do a thumbs down or make negative comments are the minority. They are the ones with the problem.

You’re good, we’re all good, be happy, be frustrated, be whatever…that’s life! ….and put up a super thanks button when you have the chance! Love your channel and your travels, thanks for sharing it all with us! 🤗

Warren and Erica, Thanks for your videos! I appreciate your honesty and learn a lot from the good, but especially the bad and ugly. All I can say is that sailing full time is hard and have so much respect for you both!

It’s called the silent majority because we are silent, including me. I feel like I should have commented previously but haven’t. I love your content in your videos including the struggles. It shows it’s real and that sh#t happens. While you do lead a fantastic life don’t forget that you guys made it happen. Don’t change a thing. Keep it coming. Thanks!

You are definitely allowed to have a moan… that’s life! Plus your dinghy having issues is like us having car problems which we would moan about … we enjoy the balance you show. We get to see you swim with amazing sea life in the most amazing destinations but also we see the realities of living on a boat and it’s not easy or for the faint hearted! Keep doing what your doing x

I’m binging to catch up but had to stop to make this comment. Ignor the haters. Sailboats, by their very nature, always have a list of things that need to get done. Add the filming, editing, and keeping the marriage balanced and healthy, to those that have never done it, STFU. You two are a joy to watch and live vicariously through. I appreciate how much you let us see. Keep doing it. If I can help in any way, let me know.

Love hearing about all the good and the bad. Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows even in paradise! This is why we as your dedicated tribe love your content so much. You show the full story. Work time, play time and everything in between giving a real picture of life at sea. You guys keep being you and keep the wonderful videos coming!❤🤙

Don’t sweat the haters. Anybody that owns a boat knows the struggles, especially those that live on it full time. Doesn’t matter the location. Marriage, life, family, friends all take work regardless of location. Doesn’t matter if you are poor, rich, live in the arctic or paradise, the struggles are real. Don’t shy away from putting it out there.

Warren I’ve got to say this, ramble on bud as everyone does it. I love watching you and Erica and in particular your French Polynesian travels as it’s something I’d love to have done with my wife. I loved the closing clip of this one, nice one Tom and it’s good to see you again as well

Warren and Erica - keeping it real - the reason I watch. Boating, like life, has ups and downs and it’s perfectly normal to acknowledge a bad run. If you didn’t - I would be concerned! I appreciate that you too are dirty after doing ‘jobs’ - I’m dirty and sweaty too and yes, sometimes it sucks and sometimes it’s glorious. Keep being you

Chin up you guys. You both do such an amazing job of filming , narrating, editing and staring in your videos. No matter the life we have ,we all have shit days . Keep being awesome 🇨🇦❤️🍻

Appreciate your honesty and I think you do an amazing job of showing the struggles as well as the joys.

Loved your latest video. Congratulations on being human and honest. We all have bad days, that's what makes the other days even better. Don't listen to the negative comments, I could see they hurt you. You have both helped us to continue working and getting through the daily grind. We have a dream of doing a fraction of what you have achieved, just waiting for the last one to fly the nest and then see if we are brave enough. Thanks Warren and Erica

Well actually thank YOU!! Really appreciate your message!!

Love the honesty in this episode. We are your target audience. Please continue to share the good times and the bad. We love watching your adventures and your challenges. From beautiful Winter Park, CO. P.S. We saw the WE Sail sticker up at the Coffee and Tea House at the base of WP!

I think it's really important to portray the reality - and the huge responsibility - of life as a full time live aboard cruising family... especially far away from the relatively easy-access life of being in close proximity to US/EU services and conveniences. It's not for everyone ( thank goodness). That's why we do it, to live a self sufficient, challenging, and adventurous life. The smallest things can literally be a huge issue when you are relying on yourself to keep your home safe and afloat. I say it's even more valuable that people see the reality, responsibility, expense, stresses etc involved with bluewater cruising. Everyone is doing shiny-happy-people-in-paradise travel brochure vlogs. And, Hats off to hauling out in Atuona! One of the most expensive places in the S. Pacific, challenging weather and anchorage!! But it's also one of my most favorite islands, maybe because it represents the success of getting there. But the people, art and culture of the Marquesas remain my most loved and indelible memories). #Onward you guys. Please share "reality"

always enjoy the candid conversations about the good and the bad of living on a catamaran. Keep up the good work and cheers you guys!

Hang in there. Life is hard. You have a wonderful Chanel, successful cruisers are part genius, engineers, navigators, life coach. You guys are great.

We love watching ya’ll❤ Keeping it honest is why WE watch ! See you out there one day ⛵️

I found your channel in 2023. Keep being yourselves, I love the videos!

Love love ALL your content! Life can be a struggle just in different ways. You are one of the best channels out there. Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures ❤

I have enjoyed all your content. I live in Illinois in a town of 800 and I am a self employed carpenter. I am aware of life struggles and congratulate you on your presentation. We are happily married for 32 years with 6 grown children. Keep up the good work. P reston.

love checking in on your adventures each week, life is full of its fair share of ups & downs wherever you are. You guys are following your dreams and living a constant adventure, making lifelong friends & memories. Life is short and you guys are killing it!

Wow really appreciate that, thank you!!

Let them write negative things.... struggling is a normal thing. Be strong guys!!!!much love

Sorry that people comment like that. I would love to experience boat life like that but I've never thought I could be "the guy" that can fix everything and do it without completely losing it. Guys like you and Brian and Tom and Colin are champs!

As I watch this episode and you show the struggles, the lifestyle you chose can be dangerous. There is a difference between taking a vacation and staying in a safe all inclusive resort. There is what you do, and you take your home across oceans, you risk a lot, but it’s what you love to do. To say you haven’t earned the right to complain, have never traveled to remote places. I am at the beginning of my adventure, I love to travel to remote places, and I travel solo, I take calculated risks, I understand what it means to be self sufficient. When you travel to remote places there will be a time when things go wrong, I love to see what goes wrong on a boat, and watching how you solves these problems. Your videos are great, and you do a good job showing the highs and lows, don’t mind the Karens who obviously don’t get it, and think what you do is easy.

It is a wonderful life of amazing experiences, but you have to maintain your home on a salty environment. There will always be challenges, but it is not just through up the sails and have a drink. You guys are constantly working 24/7 making sure everyone is safe and the vessel is safe out in the middle of an ocean. We lived on a sailboat for 3 full years and I admire your love of what you both do and share.(we loved it as well) Please continue the amazing videos and even more than that please continue your adventures in life.

Thank you! For making it REAL! It's only maybe 20% coconuts and rainbows - with perhaps a couple of unicorns tossed in! But most of us appreciate the work you do. I'd like to see MUCH MORE diving, but I also know that it takes about 3 hours of work to do 30 mins of diving. And then... AND THEN! If you get 5 or so mins of usable footage you still need to spend a couple hours of editing. Done all of this but not the sailing. To anyone who may unsub... This isn't an airport or a train station. No need to announce your departure.

You are doing great I believe you are showing both side of the cruiser life style. Don't let other people bring you down love your guys's content it is no easy task. Most people don't understand 1 hour of Glory is paid for by 8 hours of work

Hey W. E.! The responsibility of maintaining a vessel like yours is daunting and very stressful. Land dwellers can’t possibly understand. Keep up the good work, great videos and stay in paradise! Stay safe!

Well thank YOU, much appreciated

I love your optimism. I told my with when you guy went throught the doldrums that these are my kind of people. You looked to the bright side in a though struggle. When you went off to chase after a stupid custion and flipped the dingy. You both came through like heros. Your stupid but stupid heros just the same. Your an inspiration to me and i look forward to watching WE SAIL every week.

We are your target audience and after a few years of watching hundreds of hours of sailing content, we really appreciate seeing the SHTF content as we get closer to our retirement and launch dates. We spent a couple of weeks on a friend's cat in FP last fall, and I think it's hard for folks who haven't been there to understand the remoteness involved. It's the size of Europe, but with 300k population spread out over the area vs 750 million in Europe. Keep showing us the bad with the good!

Don't often commit, but have followed you guys since the beginning. Screw the wanna bees. Anything worth doing will always take hard work. That is what makes the good times great. If they leave, I really do not think it will affect you that much monetarily. We will never please everyone all the time. Live your lives, share you story. Great to see Tom helping you guys. I have followed Parlay as well and Tom was a huge help for the. All around great mate. Stay safe and do you. We hope to be there soon.

No need to apologize to anyone. I personally love to watch you guys precisely because you are authentic and truthful about living on a boat full time. Like everything in life we have incredible moments and hardship but that is what we are here to experience. That is what makes us human and helps us to grow and learn each and everyday. There is beauty in everything we do and in the tough moments we learn to be so grateful for the amazing moments in our lives. Appreciate you both very much!!

Don't worry about airing your feelings. Take your time and do what you need to do. Life is tough, even when others think it's a breeze. I, for one, love to hear how you're feeling and see what you are dealing with. Don't let the negative thoughts get you down. You're both doing a great job.❤

You all are the best and, as someone who hopes to transition to full time boat life at some point in the next while, I love that you’re honest about both the highs and the lows. Don’t let the haters get you down and keep doing what you do!

True On-Line friends got your back!! Don't listen to the 1%. Thanks for sharing! This will help others that will not talk about it.

Thank you, very kind

I AM your target audience. 😁 One day I hope to join you on the ocean. The very fact that you are worried about misrepresenting the life just shows how decent and honest you guys are. You should be proud of your many achievements. You completely nail the joys and stresses of your journey and it’s very brave and generous of you to share so much. Ignore the tiny minds that carp on your observations…. not everyone is worth listening to. 😁 Thanks for sharing it all, much respect,

WE Sail, one of the most realistic channels on KZread! Your content is why I tune in every week. Doing a circumnavigation is #1 on my Bucket list. I appreciate every drop of sweat and every tear shed. Keep up the good work and God bless 👍.

Warren! Firstly you both are much appreciated. I care very little about complaining or bitching, we all have struggles in life. It is what it is the end. One thing you said struck a cord. Don’t think for a minute that we put your content above your happiness. Take care of your wife take care of your life if we get to see a bit excellent if we don’t see it all it is what it is the end⚓️🌴💜

You two are absolutely awesome. It doesn't matter what sort of vehicle one has they all break. Love you guys I wish we were in a $ position to help you but you take us away to places we'll never get to see for ourselves. Thank you immensely immensely.

Keep it real you guys! That’s what we’re here for. You’re both awesome!

Great video! Don't let the others get you down.. You keep doing what you guys do. I look forward to seeing your videos each and every week.

i think your candid approach to showing the REAL life aboard gives us a better appriciation and understanding of your chosen lifestyle. please keep up your authentic videos and maybe even show us a little more behind the scenes when things are going quite as well. We are your target audence and we love your videos! keep it up :)

Done and done, can do will do!!

Warren, I could never work as hard as you guys do. If we were all billionaires we could pay people to do everything, but they have to live with constant security because their kids might get kidnapped for ransom. Celebrities cannot enjoy a private moment because they have no privacy. KZreadrs have it even harder because they multiple hard jobs. I appreciate everything that you do and if not for Social Media, I would know nothing of your life, so I thank you for everything.

Warren, THANK YOU for everything you post the good AND the BAD!!! I for one, enjoy learning. You show the down side to paradise. Not every day is smiles and sunshine. I just bought my first boat, and a LOT of what you show, I am expecting. Now I have an idea what to check!!! For those who say stop bishing, are they doing it? Are THEY on a boat? I won't have an idea of engine work in Vanuatu until IM THERE!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!

We are still overlanders (not found the right boat yet). We know exactly what are you going through. A truck is not comparable to a boat but we know how to improvise like you have to do. You both are doing a great job and I would like to see more of your bad days because all your followers can learn a lot. Take care, good winds and always a smile on your face. Claudia and Thomas 🤗

Fellow Helia cruiser here heading westward. I say, never shy away from being true to yourselves, particularly when creating content you chose to share. Those of us who do what you are doing know how challenging it is. Those like you that decide to share their experiences publicly could never fully depict how high the highs are and how low the lows are. You are doing a darn good job of it, though.

Hi love your honesty keep showing us the true side of your beautiful life

Congratulations on the channel you created and the way you show us your daily life. For us sailors, navigators or simply sea lovers, your way of life is an inspiration. I appreciate the content you share, but you can make your channel a little more real by also showing the difficulties you go through, this is your real life.

I lived on a Catalina 36 for a year and i would say the "Normal" every day things are 10 X Harder than they are in a "House" ... You do a Great job ... I just wish I could have "struggled" for a little bit longer

Our last Episode was called Dinghy SURFING, we did (still don't) not know how to beach our dinghy. We definitely understand the struggle. Keep it coming love the videos

Screw all the haters and negativity out there. Keep up the amazing work you guys do. My wife n I love your channel and have bareboated twice on a helia 44. I’ve found you informative, entertaining and helpful in all aspects of what you guys deliver. 🍻

Good talk! I for one appreciate you talking about challenges as well as the beaty of the lifestyle! As sailors and cruisers, we know there are incredible highs and incredible lows as well, and it’s tough balancing them sometimes. Love you guys! 🤗

The work is just part of the process. Keep fighting the good fight and keep up the good work!!! Retired engineer and former power boater here, now working on our RV as we travel. Maybe future sailor. I see the struggle as just part of the package. 😀😀😀

You guys rock. Love the honesty, nice explanation Warren, really good to see. We watch and support because you are honest, and like to see the goods and others of the life! Thank you both!

Totally get where you are coming from and life is subjective. Every experience can criticize the next but with maturity comes and understanding we all have different paths...and take in the good and the bad. From me to you...keep being you. I personally appreciate your story, your joys, and your challenges as they are all informational and entertaining in their own right. Keep teaching. Keep explaining. And keep bitching. I'll keep watching! I hope to run into you all someday out there.

I greatly appreciate that you share all there is of this lifestyle. Life has struggles for all of us and it is how we all respond to these challenges that defines us. I have dreamed of the lifestyle that you have for so long. I will be there someday.

Hey Erica & Warren, Kelly and I haven't commented before, but we love your videos. As someone else mentioned, we watch a lot of sailing content. On Saturdays (today) we watch other cruisers boat projects while we are working on our own boat projects (ha!ha!) We always say to each other that no one shows the struggles. Whether those struggles be with the never ending boat work, relationships or the day-in and day-out (nonstop) sh*t that goes with "living the good life". Your viewers who complain to you about complaining simply have no idea. I 100% can say that, three years after purchasing PONO, the reality of what "cruising" actually is, is not acurately portrayed on KZread. There is a reason that, more & more, cruising KZreadrs advertise mental health services (funny but not funny). You guys are crushing it!! Please don't forget that. I like to think of life as a pendulum. We could live a life with easy, planned days with very little suprises, where our pendulum of highs and lows are equal and the pendulum doesn't swing very far on either side of neutral. The more we put ourselves out there and step out of our comfort zones, the highs are higher and the lows are lower. Now your pendulum is swinging farther on each side of neutral. No pendulum swings unevenly - life is a matter of figuring out much we can handle/tolerate/live with/work through/love/laugh/drink beer/etc. on both sides of the pendulum. You got this!

Wow! Man what a great message!! You can’t understand how much we need that right now, and we hope to more accurately communicate the adversities we cruisers face, hopefully without making our videos solemn or boring!! Either way we really appreciate your kind words and that you took the time to message us!! Thank you!

Well said mate! You do work hard ! I’ve worked in the building and can see the work u put into the boat ! I mean ever job I’ve seen u do , u always do a proper job and the boat looks amazing, just keep doing what your doing, & take no notice of them people who bitch because they probably don’t no anything about hard work👍

life is tough were ever, for lots of reasons, keep up the good work, i

Real sailers, not armchair ones want to know the real life. So that we can learn and maybe know what to do when a circumstance arises. Please keep it real. For the ones that sail, and someday plan to go cruising….keep the spirits up, take one day at a time, tackle one project at a time. That helps keep it manageable, otherwise it is waaay to unmanageable. Just our thoughts. You guys are awesome together, and can accomplish everything….together. Just remember, try not to take it too seriously.. (Warren) everything will get done. As soon as you can get to it. Boating is your life, but Erica is your companion through it all. Love and be grateful for each other!

I love that you guys keep it real. I now know I couldn't do that lifestyle on my own. Nor would I want to.

I have been enjoying your videos for a long time now. Keep living the life you love.

Another great video. Thank you for sharing the tough side of your lives. I’m sure it isn’t easy. Fair winds and following seas. I cannot wait to follow in your wake.

You guys can vent all you want. The whiners are probably not sailors and will never get it. Thanks for sharing and we all learn something every episode.

Ignore the naysayers & haters. Anyone who lives a realistic life knows that stuff hits the fan. I appreciate you guys being real!

the struggles are just as important as the good days for people like me whom need to learn all about what life will be like once i get out there. Keep doing you, great content, very valuable
