All Alone in Japan.. Why Nobody Sails Here!?
Today, from our stunning destination we wanted to get real with you and talk about why we think so few people sail here and why we think you absolutely should.
We’ve had every anchorage to ourselves and it really is a shame that more sailors aren’t experiencing this extraordinary place with us!
Riles and I are so excited to share our adventures in Japan with you, and are so grateful for your guys support. We hope you enjoy this early preview of today's episode.
With love from Japan,
Elayna, Riley, Lenny & Darwin
PS: We’ve had 40k downloads of SeaPeople following our series of episodes last week… we are blown away. Thank you so much four your support.

Well done on the better help ad. I usually skip over these but you're great at making them interesting, entertaining and putting an educational spin on things. Great episode and we are so lucky that you make your family and friends' lives open to us. Its so lovely to see parts of the world that I will never see through your eyes. Keep up your great work as producers of great content and parents of great kids.
That was the best Better Help intro I've seen. LOL.
So much fun watching Lenny and Darwin grow.........the beautiful curiosity, energy and spirit of kids. If I have that vicarious thought, I can only imagine the joy of the 24/7 experience that you have. Sure, there are trials and tribulations too, but there is value there too. Perhaps not always joy, but value. All part of growing up and part of parenting. What wonderful learning experiences the boys have. Kudos to both of you and kudos to Lenny and Darwin. They are great young men.
Cheers John! ❤️
Ha! Love the intro to Better Help 😅 Very clever!
If you enjoyed that Alanna, just wait 'till you see today's sponsorship ;)
Riley, have you seen this ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqrBsXZ9iA0
Loving all the time you spend with the kids! They are so interested in everything… I have never heard “I’m bored”
A lovely video for sure. Love Riley's comment "send in the young first and if he comes back with all his arms and legs it is safe for us" Those boys look like a lot of fun now. Loving Japan by the way!
Riley was over the top funny with the promo bit. 🤣 ⛵️
After getting a video a day it was strange having to wait for the latest one. But it was worth it, fascinating look at Japan which as you say looks like an amazing country to visit. Hope Ellie's arm has healed up it looked terrible.
If we no longer needed to work...I would spend my time building things out of wood... Furniture, Timber Framed Houses, Boxes for stuff out of wonderful Hardwoods, for Myself, Family & Friends.
I missed you, frankly.
Lovin this whole Japan series so far but LOVED the daily vids as well! A close contender to the Expedition Evans live across the Atlantic only because it was longer, LOL. It is so much work and we so appreciate all your hard work and sacrifice for our viewing pleasures. Cheers to SeaPeople! So glad you will be staying in Japan awhile! Enjoy. I just noticed the dolphins jumping out of water in this Thumbnail, what a shot, amazing!
Maybe before you were born, we hosted Expo 88 here in Queensland at what is known now as Southbank. At the time every teenager who wanted a job there was given training In hospitality and basic Japanese because Travel and Tourism was the future for Australia, what happened? The 🇯🇵Japan pro villain was awesome . So I learnt Japanese which didn’t help me at all while working At Expo 88 because it turned there weren’t that many Japanese at Gambaro’s, Queenslands most famous Seafood Restaurant on Caxton Street. All menus are seasonal, with a focus on sustainable, locally sourced Australian Seafood’s and produce. I always wanted to visit Japan, so keep the Cameras rolling. Never gets old, going to greatly miss Elly.😞
Your comments about how your kids prefer the boatlife over hotels and waterslides was so great to hear. I hope you realize that is an amazing indicator of the kind of parents you guys are. If your kids love the boatlife it's because you've made it fun and interesting for them and that tells everyone who loves you guys just what amazing parents you are. Way...to...go...!!! Homerun! Touchdown! You are winning...
You wrote of Lenny's developing fascination with Sailing and electronics. I almost choked up. He is such a shining example of what happens when children are TRULY nurtured and how their minds and capabilities just wildly expand beyond their seemingly young age. I remember wanting to learn piano and my mom, who was a piano teacher, didn't want to teach me. It shut me down in so many ways with so many consequences. So.... many, many massive congratulations for your (plural) nurturing. I too downloaded "Sea People" today. Thank you!!!!!

Lenny's at the age now where he'll soak up things like a sponge. I envy them both, seeing the world through unclouded eyes.
Awesome video!
