Great to talk with you Riley and Elayna! Itâs hellacious, like breaking the fourth wall đ in real time. Where can I drop a question for you again or do we have to wait till the next Q&A. ?
If your boys ever started to dislike sailing, would you change up your lifestyle to accommodate their interests?
What has been your most memorable adventure or challenge while sailing together, and how did it strengthen your bond as a couple?
So, Riley how long will you be able to hold off from finding a better boat this time?
Cheers guys! Been following your meteoric rise for years. We met you in Annapolis 2022 at the Patreon meet-up and you were both incredibly gracious, warm and friendly to all of us "strangers". Thank you for being human â¤ď¸. Who do you look up to and get inspiration from in your lives?
Definitely need to catch up on what you guys have been up to, I always feel like everything stops when the olympics are on. Have you guys been following some of the action? Your Ausy surfer Jack Robinson did really well with his silver.
Do you think you will ever get some protection for your steering station. Something to sit on? Some structure to provide protection from the elements
Would love a full review of the Tri. Sailability. livability, ability to stand up to tough weather, funfactor, ect. Cheers!
How long a shake down cruise after repairs to Mango before she sails to Japan or might she be delayed to get some additional repairs? I only ask since August is supposed to be pretty hot in Japan.
1.) Do you guys know or follow Kingingit or Flyin the Nest? Just curious if there are any influencers you like to follow that have been to Japan multiple times? 2.) Or if you had time or sailors you follow and if they have advice on Japan as to where to go as far as Inland marina stops to tourist stops to make and what Islands to visit? Any plans to go far north of Osaka, like Hokkaido or around to East coast? 3.) How long will you stay in Japan and what is the future holding right now? I assume Maui is out. 4.) Will you be going to Annapolis this year?
Kinging it did a great job covering Japan ,so did Kara and Nate.
On the subject of lights, action, camera. Given the right script or advertisement would you both or individually consider making a full length movie advertisement or documentary once given a good script. Naturally highly successful people like yourself know what they want to achieve and have a clear roadmap for how to get there. They are proactive such as yourselves and they take action and don't wait for things to happen to them. Obviously your both incredibly disciplined. So why donât youâll have at it. As super successful people you have strong self-control and the ability to stick to a routine. Like the skits you once did in the early days, what ever happened to that energy. I weâre now all at the end of the Darma ending period and so now everyone is super sensitive with a Karen at every turn almost. With almost no time to scratch yourself, so we are all forced to almost run in life and to strike a blow and have a win. You must have at one point in your lives contemplated being in a cinematic production. Maybe just a commercial, Iâm not just blowing smoke up the pass here. I love your channel sometimes due to you being kind on the eye â photogenicâ. You have massive social media presence. That most actors would dream about having I also believe your could be cut out for it with no need for body doubles.𤣠if your (both) up for it. Below is an article I found, if your interested: âSigns Youâre Meant To Be an Actor!â Something else I wanted to ask Ryley. Last week you were talking about meditation. I just wanted to quickly know is if you knew if you are meditating with your main consciousness or not. See I found this out about medication almost Twenty years ago. Itâs very important to meditate with your main consciousness all the time. Hereâs some information. https://en.falundafa.org/ Donât use any technical technique they just get in the way. Just keep coming back to yourself while letting go of the many thoughts. Sitting like Master does for the Fifth exercise helps tremendously. https://en.falundafa.org/falun-dafa-video-audio.html?v=bks04 All the best! https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/signs-meant-actor-10452/
Do you two have any advice for people who are on the cusp of deciding when to have kids but are worried about the right timing/ lifestyle adjustment/ finances involved?
My lived experience having a 12 year old, is there is no "right time". We were 32 and had made the conscience decision to move from NYC back to rural Washington be closer to our parents. Both for mental health and for the future relationship of our child with their grandparent(s).
My question is unlike actors who change into character (action) are you the very same with one another and the children when the cameras arenât rolling. Not talking about terms of endearment, just normal reciprocation. For better or for worse?
It seems like it has been a year of âshake downâ issues. From electrical shorts, engine breakdowns, delamination, jamming winches and bad seals. đŚ What is the ânormalâ period for a new boat to go through these? I mean mast funk, come on builders!
Do you read while Sailing? You have to read one of Haruki Murakami's books to get in the Japan vibe!!! .. think I'll recommend Killing Commendadore (longer) or Norwegian Woods (perfect short book if it's your first Murakami's book).. or are you doing anything else to get in the Japan vibe?
Ok what is with the big wheel on La vaga lll? is Riley compensating for something! but seriously, I notice you are steering a lot, Is the boat too powerful for the autopilot?
My question is where did you get those adorable cups and plates.? I'm guessing you found it on one of the Etsy sites
