You had me in tears. What a beautiful tribute to your grandmother. She clearly was an incredible woman. “It’s a great life if you don’t weaken” True words of wisdom. Beautiful .
Thank you for your kind words! We are glad it hit a chord with others as well. We know our family is not always interesting to others, but we felt it was important for us to tell her story. More coming soon!
Definitely out favorite sailing channel, and you haven't even sailed yet! I love all of the hard work you put into creating a story, not to mention the incredible animations and editing.
Thank you! We appreciate it a lot, because we often debate whether we are spending too much time on each episode.
@@SailingRamona I just found your channel yesterday. You deserve much more subscribers and I have no doubt your channel will grow rapidly. Your storytelling and animations are quite unique. Most of the other sailing channels are so boring and simply repeat what we've seen for years. Yours clearly stands out. Looking forward to see your journey! Keep up the good work!
I just found your Chanel. I love how you make it about life and not just sailing. Your editing and animation are the best.
keep up the good work.
Thank you! It's hard to find that balance in our videos, but we are always trying to improve them. We have a new one finally coming out soon. A little view into sailing here in Japan, before we get back into the refit. Hope you enjoy it!
What an absolutely wonderful and loving tribute to your Grandparents and family! You made a grown man cry, but with happy tears! So looking forward to following your life adventures!
Thank you so much! Sorry to make you cry! We shed many tears in the making of it, along with our family when we showed it to them. We miss Babci so much, but grateful to share a little of her with all of you. :)
Brilliantly done.
Always so inspiring and informative at the same time.
Love the story, editing, artwork and most of all my favorite couple on CZcams. 😘😘😘
Thank you! Although, being my father, I think you are slightly biased :)
I agreed with Tim, and I am (propably) not your father. :-)
I loved this! Such a beautiful tribute to Babci and really enjoy watching your own love story unfold ❤️❤️
Thank you so much! Thank you! We are blessed to have Babci be a part of our journey.
Hopefully you can meet Julia soon! It's too long since we last met as well! Hope you are all doing well. My mom often shows me photos of you guys.
That was an amazing episode,
lovely tribute to your babcy, your grandparents seem awesome!
the lack or railing on the side of the boat would freak me out but the inside is gorgeous!
Also, again, the animations are perfect !
Hey Thomas! It's been a long time. We really appreciate you took the time to watch. They were / are awesome! Duke is still telling bad jokes whenever I talk to him. hehe. We are likely going to work on a railing solution before the crossing :)
What an incredible story and a strange kind of way I miss your grandma! Beautiful love story !!!
Everyone who met her (even virtually) misses her! thank you 🥹
Hermoso video y vidas apasionantes!! Un precioso homenaje a Babci. La vida está llena de buenas sorpresas, espero que aún os queden muchas por descubrir.
Enhorabuena por vuestra unión, formáis una pareja encantadora.
I grew up on boats and have been in Japan since 2017. Recently I've been toying with the idea of boating again and have been looking around for content that might be relevant. My experience is in the Caribbean and have never heard much about sailing in Japan. Really glad I came across your channel and am looking forward to seeing the rest of your story!
Wow, a fellow expat! We are back in Japan now actually for a few months. If you make it to Tokushima, send us a message. We have done a lot of sailing here as well, we hope to include those stories in our channel sometime soon. Also, our story will continue very soon! Thank you for your patience >
Thanks for the reply! Like a lot of people I am up in Tokyo so a b it of a trek. But I think I may have found a group to sail with so one day when you get Ramona over here we might cross paths.
These videos seem like a lot of hard work. Really glad you are continuing the effort.
A beautiful love story well told
Thank you! That means a lot coming from a great writer like you Lowell! :)
Wow just wow, incredibly heartfelt and genuine. Thank you ❤
Thank you Daniel! Means a lot! We should catch up soon! We are back in tokushima now and in full editing mode! >
Came here for a boat, left with tears.
Awe, thank you! We tried our best to tell our story and what it really means for us. This was a tough episode for us to make as well. But don't worry, more sailing coming very soon!
Sois MARAVILLOSOS......🥰🥰
Gracias Goyu!!
What a sweet story and you tell it so well. Congrats to you both. Look forward to seeing your future adventures. Safe travels!
Thank you! Sorry for the long hiatus! Coming back soon
BAM! Tim and Charina Walkey told us about your channel, so we are here and subbed and will share you out in our commuity, great video and can't wait to see more.
Sorry for the long wait! We are getting back to it now in full force! We appreciate your time to watch our story!
I loved your story so much I had to watch it again! Congratulations
Wow, thank you! We are getting back to it now, sorry for the long delay!
Great video guys. I started watching yalls videos because your dad ask me to, but I really enjoy watching them
Thank you! My dad is our number one fan! hehe We are getting back to it now. Sorry for the wait!
Very moving video and tribute to your grandmother
Thank you for the kind words! Sorry for the long delay. We are back at it now, more to come soon.
Great video, keep them coming.
Beautiful video of your dreams and your family....wish you luck health and safe travels...
Thank you for your kind words. We are happy you enjoyed our story.
Me encanta.
Ya esperando el 5 y con ganas de celebrar vuestra boda
these are so great! i cant wait for more
thank you! Sorry for the long delay. We got a bit overwhelmed by everything. But we recorded the whole time, just catching up on it all now. New episode out soon :)
Excellent! :)
Glad you like it!
Beautiful episode. Wonderful tribute.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful video and editing my friend! Definitely talented! You two are the cutest couple ever! 💕 I am so very happy for you Tyler! Keep doing you two....cheers! 🥂 P.S. Can we get a wedding video? 🤗
Thank you so much AC! Maybe I'll have to send you a link. 😇
Amazing tribute
Thank you for watching!
Hey Tyler! It’s Brittany (Japan 2012/15) 🥹 “if’s a great life if you don’t weaken” I’m sending thanks to Babci for that one. I’m so glad to see you in great spirits and with someone who has a great heart like you ☺️ -Sending your family love from ours!
Hey Brittany! Hisashiburi! Thank you! Hope to cross paths again soon! Thank you :)
Oh, this is so beautiful and heartfelt, you guys!!
Thanks Bethany! Sorry to reply 7 months later! haha. We kinda fell off the bandwagon back there, got a bit overwhelmed, back to it now. Hope you are well, and hope we can catch up soon!
Good work. Liked, subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of Ramona. It's great to see a sailing channel with depth and broader context, it's more like a biopic and not a 'look at me' show.
Thank you! We are doing our best. This style of editing does take a lot of time, so we are trying to find a balance. We got a bit overwhelmed when we posted the last one, as we were in the middle of refitting the boat as well (more of that to come! ;) ). We also hoped to reach a broader interest than just sailing. Thanks again!
Tyler I love this!
Thank you!!! Sorry for the long long delay! More coming soon.
Beautiful, Kids!!!!
Thank you, Colin! :)
You are so kind
Excellent story, best of luck. Im in Kanagawa, say hi when you get here.
Oh, fellow expat! We are back in Tokushima now for a few months, if you make it down our way, let us know!
I want to see videos of the wedding, Walkey-san!!!
Hey Totten sensei! You have a link waiting for you in your email! :)
I should have watched this 4amazing stories before visited Kito!! So touching and amazing...best wishes for you, Julia and needless to say, Remona!! Waiting for your Remona coming to Japan!!! Pls drop by Kagawa----:-)
Thank you for your kind words! We are happy you enjoyed them! We would love to visit you in Kagawa sometime. Thank you! BTW.. I guess we should have spoken English when you visited! >
@@nextchapter3146 Yes, let's catch up soon and looking forward your next chapter5:-) Take care
Oops, I replied with the wrong account! haha Here's to next chatpers! 🍻
Hej!
Nice story. Looking forward for next pieces with more sailing.
Your Grandmother was Polish or had Polish roots, therefore she wanted to be called Babci, actually to be correct should be Babcia as we name Grandmother in Polish.
Greet Y from Denmark where I live and sail
Thank you for the comment! We also had someone from Poland correct us. hehe But she will always be Babci to us! Still nice to know though. Next episode coming soon! And hopefully we'll be back on track after that. Currently back in Japan with lots of time to edit. Cheers!
What route will you take back to Japan. ?
Sorry for the long hiatus! We will either go via the south pacific, or (more likely) Cali to hawaii, hawaii to Japan. New episodes coming soon, thanks for your patience!

Long time and no post…..what happened??
We are working on getting back to regular posting and continuing the story. Sorry for the delay, we just wrapped up our 6 month refit of the boat, and are on our way back to Japan until the end of the year. Lots of content coming up! Thanks for your patience.
@@SailingRamona thanks for responding. I watched all your videos and thought 💭 what a great story and was disappointed it had abruptly stopped. Glad you will continue it. Best of luck 🤞 looking forward to next post
Fantástico ❤
Gracias, Maria!!
