Jelly Fish Attack! Free Diving the Balearic Islands [Ep. 93]
We spent the morning free diving near the lighthouse, and BAM! a jelly fish had attacked me. In broad daylight.
However, the jelly was probably nothing but graceful as it wrapped around my wrist. Just minding it’s own business as we spent the morning frolicking in the depths of it’s backyard. ‘Attack’ or not, it hurt. A lot. That’ll teach me to wear a short suit. Join us, Daniel and our two patrons Will and Marissa as we explore this beautiful east coastline of Mallorca. We love it here! and La Vagabonde! and you lovely lot! These videos would not exist without your support.
Cheers, Elay & Riles xo.

I was Really sad to see Elay hurting so much. Virtual hug to you kiddo.
Are you vegans? Oh no your spear fish.
Yes, Riley, lets not shoot Elay with the speargun. next time you get a sting, put the hot water in a pot or bowl and submerge the stung area!!!!
Here's a tip for the jellyfish sting-which works well for me..a little bit weird but it it s worth a try: just use pee(preferably your own but I don't see why another's would not work) I just use a small plastic bottle!!
Why on earth 'spaghetti carbonara'! 😂 All of us Italians jumped on our seats at that :D Once your here, grab some Guanciale, Pecorino and Eggs for the real deal :P
Great vid again guys. The new av guy is a great addition. Riley i noticed you wearing north face. Check out Patagonia website they are an awesome company trying to use as much recycled materials as possible and started a fund for companies to give 1% of turnover to charity especially environment causes.
Another remedy for jellyfish stings is meat tenerizer. Works on Man-Or-War stings.
I've never heard of the hot water remedy. Glad it solved the issue. It's now a tool for my toolbox, thanks. I thought Riley was gonna have to step up and tinkle on your arm. It would have made for a memorable video. Glad to see all's well. The videos are really really good. Take care and smooth sailing.
Bummer about the jellly sting, I've tried all the cures, vinegar, topical alcohol, hot water, cold water etc, Aloe Vera gel is the only thing that seems to work. Meal looked AWESOME !!!!, might have to try that one, fishing in the med's very average from what I'm told. Hows all the systems working out ? hope the boats going well, sure looks great. I know you guys work for hours on the production of the vids, really shows.
Stunning Visuals along with great soothing music = Win, Sorry about the sting Elay but that kitchen scene had me smiling, love watching you two make fun of situations. cool taking the music out of the free dives as it def put some drama into the scene. kind've scary though. I know your a certified scuba teacher Elay but still kind've scary testing your limits on when I see people free dive. Footage is always spectacular under water though :) Cheers Steve
So sorry Elayna! I'm obsessed with your new tender.
Drone action is impressive as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great video!! Yes, the visual work is awesome - great job you all including Daniel! Looking forward to following you more - and I too keep smiling while watching... 👍👍
You guys have stepped it up as far as the photography goes. This is one of the most visually captivating episodes that I have seen from SLV. Keep up the awesome work and sail safe guys.
Woo this made me smile. Thanks so much John! Thanks to Daniel we have been able to step up our game a little. He is a wizard and we're very happy to have him onboard :)
Chandlery .,. Hours of fun! God I missed the chicken dance!!! Guys, you have got to stop in Ibiza on the way out of the med and do some amazing freediving. I hope you don't mind me posting this here but lil sister can show you some pretty awesome sites. Check out her web site. www.deepchangeproject.org 😘
as always great episode, and that canyon was insanely gorgeous. you guys keep my dreams alive while i sit at my desk waiting for my chance to do as you do. cheers!!!
For some reason, everytime I watch you guys, I have a smile on my face. Thanks for taking us along. Will & Marissa had a great time I'm sure. Oh, isn't there a vinegar mixed with something that will soothe jelly fish bites? Anyone know?
We used some apple coder vinegar which worked well! But the hot water felt amazing... It may have been a little too hot though hahaha...
one last thing, you cant use your spear gun...only a Hawaiian sling
We just got back from the Exuma islands in the Bahamas, beautiful place, clearest water and more shades of blue than I have ever seen. Once you get there you may change your mind about the east coast and just stay there.
We can't wait to visit the Bahamas! That's high on our list. Hopefully early next year we will be there... but we'll see
I just saw you are going to do the US east coast and the Bahamas,
Love you guys because your Australian not american and your yourselves not delos. Thanks for a great new adventure.
Your new cameraman is awesome! Good find guys.
Ouch! it looks very red! I hope it has gone now..
only just, massive scar right now but finally it's healed. It got worse before it got better thats for sure...
I've been away for a while - what a great video. New boat, new crew, same awesome authentic experience. Keep keeping it real and thanks!
Elya, immediately after a bad sting like that you need to let Riley urinate on the entire area. I've heard it's very effective. Let me know how that works. :) Beautiful area you found. Great work guys.
Ya, don't do this. Not only is urine worthless, it can potentially make things worse by causing more of the stingers to fire. Vinegar is actually proven to be effective though.
Vinegar or meat tenderizer helps with jelly fish stings. We used to get them all the time when I was a kid sailing and cruising on the Chesapeake Bay. Great episode, love the aerial shots from the drone.
0:10 "I thought I shot you with a spear gun.............." LOL great way to start it up! LOL
Ouchy poor Elay great vid guys
Another great episode guys!
Sorry about your arm Elay! But that place looked unbelievable definitely putting it on my must see list
OMG! Is it a Young Jacques Cousteau driving that tender?
