Have been watching your videos for a while now and all I can say is thank you so much for sharing these priceless moments!

@hardpass9855 Месяц назад

I just want to thank you both for the stunning job you guy’s do on these videos 🥂 I’m disabled and not able to get to the ocean as often as I used to be able too. You guy’s actually are thee only RU-vid channel that I have to put on my TV to watch. You make me feel like I’m there. Well as close as possible anyway!! 😂😂 The boys are growing so fast! Elayna it’s so wonderful to see your smile and spark back!! Riley you’re just all around a great man and daddy! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Riley and Elayna 🙏🍾🥂 That dive and the people!! I can only dream💞

@johnssmith4005 Месяц назад

@Riley if you were to start your sailing life from Zero would you go straight for a Trimaran ?

@lc285 Месяц назад

I am curious if your crew guy Forrest, is ever gifted tokens of appreciation with a night off at a stopping off point like the oil rig adventure, as an example? Or does he have to always stay on the boat? Maybe a video mention of what Forrest responsibilities are as a crew member? Thank you.

@robynjones9379 Месяц назад

Been watching you for years…. Just want to give due praise to Elayna for her informative narrations. You do them so well that I’ve realised I hardly ever consider the effort of great scripting and delivery that you put in to them. Great stuff Elayna. You create the seams that sew the whole video together . You’re a legend mate.

@lorileeolmsted3869 Месяц назад

You’re absolutely right! Elayna has really honed her vlogs over the years into such well written content, including mini vacations, interviews, spa breaks for mental health, beautiful dives (my personal favorites), and family time bringing up 2 little ones while sailing the world. I’m fatigued just thinking about it all😂. Thank you Elayna for your beautiful gift of work to the world.

@anndee26 27 дней назад

I couldn’t agree more! Elayna does such an amazing job with the videos. I love watching and learning about all the different places you travel to and I can’t even imagine how you have the time to put in all the extra content, it’s amazing! And those boys! They really are the cutest kids.

@LPay-jy8mx Месяц назад

Extra compassion to Forrest. Taking one for the team (even if it's your job) by staying behind during an epic dive adventure, and then getting caught by illness while alone on the boat, ugh. The best is yet to come to you, mate! We see you!

Kids, for the record, I absolutely love you both and most importantly, the boys. Cherish the boys as we lost our son in 1999 when he was thirty-two, to cancer. You do such a wonderful job of editing your videos, you are a consummate professional in all aspects, and I can hardly wait for your next video. Thank you for what you do and please give the boys a big hug for me.

Aww darwins little voice, made my heart melt. Him vocalising his frustration eas just the cutest. My little boy is 16 minth and still isnt talking much, we think hes got early signs of autism because of the trait's hes showing. Keep being you kittle buddy ❤

He may be autistic, I couldn't say he isn't, but my sister-in-law didn't speak until she was at least 2 yrs old... she got a PhD from Balliol College, Oxford and is one of the world's leading scientists! ie Don't worry, yet

Watching this on a really big TV and it is SO captivating! Feels like you’re really underwater. You guys have a way to make videos feel like an immersive experience.

@donnarocchio936 6 дней назад

Your underwater videos could also be used as a meditative session they are so relaxing and beautiful. You always find Wonderful Gems to stay and break up your onboard time. So good for your Mental Health to switch things up. Wonderful that you share all your adventures with us. The dense fish videos remind me of some dives my husband and I were able to do so many years ago in the Hawiian Islands. Happy memories as he is no longer with me. Thank you for the memories, they are treasures that I often re-live them, to get me through the tough days, 🥰.

Lenny don't hit your brother with a Wooden Spoon....... lolololololol.. Arguably the best line Riley has ever uttered. Top 10 at least

For a time, I fell out of love with your channel...I'm not sure why, BUT I can really say I'VE FALLEN BACK INLOVE WITH IT! I can feel the intention behind your videos. Feel the love, effort, and hard work that goes into filming and editing and planning your adventures! Thank you for showing us the world through your eyes! I've found some real happiness in watching ❤

@werethecoopers 27 дней назад

It was hard to shift from boating to traveling while their boat was built for me but i can only imagine how hard and displaced they felt lol ❤

@jasem2702 25 дней назад

I think you could feel their burn out, unsettledness and uncertainty through their content for a bit but I think they’ve settled into their new rhythm with finally moving onto the boat and being in love with sailing and filming again 🙌🏽 (Elayna and Riley have talked about these emotions and seasons in depth so this isn’t a random observation and it’s not accusing either, I completely understand and it’s natural for life to have ups and downs! ❤️)

@nlingle68 27 дней назад

I was truly amazed at the diversity and sheer quantity of fish living on the reef under the oil rig! Love that you guys bring attention to these topics. Everyone looks healthy and happy. Boys are growing up! Great Video Guys!!! Well done

Aww, so sorry Forrest was sick. Thanks 4 sharing your trip! All the trash on the beach was so saddening. Safe travels.❤

@brigitanamcara5699 Месяц назад

Okay please!!! If you see this comment...we HAVE to make Riley's laugh into a ring tone we can buy! I've had this idea for years but just finally getting the confidence to try to make it happen. I dread my phone ringing (personal issues) but I really think that would be a positive mental health accessory for all of us who need a little reminder before we answer that call or text! I adore the kids and especially Elayna and her songs. ❤🎉 But Riley's laugh is something also...I'd buy it and I'm sure it would help my social anxiety haha. It's such a small idea but one that's been nagging me for years now. I want one!

Record it via screen record. Use one of the many audio from video extraction websites. Trim the audio just to his laugh. Then select at the ring tone. Unless you have an iPhone. I have no clue if they'll even let you do that on an iPhone.

The dive sites were awesome and as I have been an advanced open water diver for the last 35 years, I can only remember one dive site in the Caribbean that came close. Hope you show more diving like this in the future.😅

I went solo backpacking northern Borneo in 2011, found out about Sipidan and stayed at the cheapest dive lodge on the locals island. One of the best experiences of my life diving Sipadan; the crazy drop off, barracuda point.... blew my mind. Sad to see the degradation in the reef a decade later, but still looks amazing.

For the blast fishing. I have been around Mabul and Sipadan Island for about 6 months in total in the late 90s and early 2000s. We would hear the blast fishing every 15min. The government had airplanes that surveyed the area and word was they would shoot the suspected boats without warning out of the water ! Surprised this is still happening so much time later.
