Will you be visiting Queensland after Japan. If so will you hold a patreon catch up. Look forward to meeting you! Regards Lee
The weight is not about the copper taps. It’s about the batteries ??
I watched the movie captain phillips last night and I now have a whole new fear of piracy.. how do you handle the thought of potential piracy?
What are your biggest regrets
First of all I absolutely love the yacht, its decor; it's warm and feels like a home. I haven't seen a new boat I like better. Well done. Riley, after all your hard work planning and research into the design what would you change or what makes you wish you'd taken another route?
Thanks for your questions everyone, looking forward to chatting soon!
July? Or is this a past event..?
Thanks for this spot Greta, updated!
When you go to a new country what are some "tricks of the trade" to help you with language barriers, cultural barriers and also (for the girls) sexism? What are your top two sailing movies like "Around Cape Horn" or "Captain Ron"? Top kid gadget at the moment, one that has more than one use (besides rope!).
What's the one "fun device" or "tech gadget" you can't live without? Looking forward to hear you tomorrow from LA! 🇺🇲
It seems your romantic relationship has really blossomed this past year, what would you say changed to make room for that? Do you think having crew has brought you two closer?
If you could change one thing about you lives today what would it be?
SailGP final on next weekend in San Francisco - what you say Riley , how fast can you go ? Fitting foils ? Hmmm
How has having kids impacted or changed the way you handle your online presence and what you share on social media? I remember back in the days you guys used to invited Patreons on board and organize small gatherings.
I can’t imagine raising my two boys on a boat. Hats off to you both for your abilities! They are so adorable, both!
So what are your feelings about boat speed and comfort? How is the ride in rough seas since she is so light? How are you liking the exposed helm? Do sun and weather make you wish for cover?
Exposed helm is one I keep thinking of, like a big 'ole wave come bashing Riles right off.
Elayna, I’ve been waiting to read your book. What updates on it can you give us.
Any plans to get the dingy stored properly? Riley, have you thought about doing any racing. I think the boat needs to be raced to get the best performance from her. Most importantly, I think Lennie & Darwin are two of the happiest kids I seen. It's all about being included. when I see Lennie tying knots or walking with a boat line it make my heart move.
June?
Would love to know your thoughts on your OC tender compared with a more standard inflatable? We're considering one but a lot more expensive with shipping to the uk. thank you, love watching your videos xx
I missed it! I didn’t get this until July!
And maybe a more fun question: what are the biggest differences between the 2 boys and what qualities/personality traits of yourselfs do you see in them? :)
It's not a really fun question, but I do wonder sometimes: how do you decide on who is okay to be a sponsor and how much are you really behind the product ? (in a way that you use/test it yourself, I am pretty sure you wouldn't sponsor something you didn't like or approve) I saw a lot of controversy and critical articles about Better Help lately, and was wondering if you are aware of it (I didnt do enough research myself to have a strong opinion about it, though I think even if its not great, it still offers help to people who otherwise couldn't)
My experience with them was pretty unorganized and frustrating! Loved my therapist but couldn’t handle the customer service, so I quit.
July?
Were you successful in securing a tutor for Lenny? Will you be following an Australian online curriculum for his schooling?
Beyond the birth and continued joy of Lenny and Darwin, what were your key lows and highs over the past decade that have been informing your future plans?
Yep, Adelaide should be late morning in July. Just give us UTC and we can work it out ourselves. When are you coming back to Oz? In particular Mooloolaba Qld. Good diving and ex-HMAS Brisbane to dive on. Looking forward to more of your adventures. Best wishes Rob ( Buderim Aus)
Perhaps you mean July ??? June has long since past.
Updated!
Yeah. Do you have a Gregorian Calendar?
I think you got your time zones wrong for Adelaide?
Do you mean July ??
Updated!
