We're safe

Good day, thanks for posting. Jason and I have been watching your videos and love what you are doing. It has been an impression for us to look it sailling. PS. I sale long lasting lip color called LipSense made by SeneGense's. SeneGense get some of there ingredients for Vanuatu Island. Have you been to Vanuatu Island?

I'm trying to watch the live episode on YouTube now ( a day later ) and it's not available. Did you take it down? My 40 ft cat is a total loss from Irma... 😭 I need my sailing fix vicariously through you two now.

Just watched the LIVE show. One question. Where does one acquire a "bilgeyyy!" shirt? So awesome!

Tunisia?!? When are we going to see some of that? How was the bureaucracy entering that country?

I am curious as to the web site or sites you use for weather reports.

Looks like a blast of speed. Cannot wait for my boat to be delivered, unfortunately not until August next year. It is a Need 51. Multihulls are the best way to go cruising.

What kind of boat advise can you give someone who is looking to buy his first sail boat to travel around the world like you?

Daniel gone?? Why wasn't I told??

Hay guys, got my SLV sticker in the mail !!!!! AWESOME, straight on the fridge next to the RK racing chain (MC stuff) sticky. It was posted in Syracuse NY ??? near where I grew up, go figure. Sailing fast down hill accoring to your polar diagram is funn sail and keep an eye on apparent wind, your dagger board were hald down so they might have been vibrating too, either way no biggy just keep an eye on the stading rig tension and swage terminations. Remember SS needs air to stay stainless, where the wire terminates in the swages is where they'll let go, work hardening and corrosion. Love yer werk

Why did Daniel leave and are you searching for a new videographer?

Hey Riley, I have a question for you, I'd love to hear more about how you and Elaina met, how you guys got from meeting to her dropping her life and moving on the boat with you. It's a story I'm sure a lot of us are wondering. Thanks!!

Awesome! Powerboat speed!

How is Daniel working out, and will he be joining you on the Atlantic crossing and beyond? Did you ask Mathieu if the humming at 17/18 knots was expected? Beyond long johns, what boat provisioning needs to be done to travel that far north?

Belugas.....are you excited?

Hey Riley, Stay well, stay safe, enjoy! I really love ur videos! ! Q: How do u pay for things when going into a port or location? Local money, credit card; how does banking work on the sail as it were? (nothing personal, just a general inquiry.) Luv ya'!

Are you planning to visit the South of England on your way back from the North? And would you even invite anyone on board for a longer sail, instead of just day sailing? Thanks :)

Q1: What time will you do the live broadcast tomorrow? Q2: When can I buy Elaynas next album? Q3: Where are you hedding? Across the Atlantic or somewhere else? Q4: When will you invite me to come sailing? ;-)

What is it that you enjoy the most, travelling or sailing? For example, if you settled and stopped travelling, would you continue sailing?

Question: When is the wedding and are we invited? / OK, if you're not going to answer that, are you really coming up the East Coast on the way to the Arctic circle and doing that in January?... ugh...

Did you get your dingy tightened up? It looked like it was going to fall off whilst you were in your speed run.

What are the pros & cons living on your cat? I know your boat is new, but some cons - 2 engines, weight issues...pros - speed of passage, stability, more privacy. Thanks guys!

Glad to see you are safe and out of hurricane country. One couple I was following lost their boat and others had to flee for their lives. It's going to get pretty freakin' cold going north and I wish you well.

Love to hear more about your plans for your trip up the east cost of the US on your way north! You simply MUST include a tip up the Chesapeake Bay to Annapolis and Baltimore! I would of course be more than happy to personally show you all the fun waterholes and anchorages I know between Virginia Beach and Baltimore! :)

Question: While you're on the north american east coast, any plans to go up the St Lawrence and/or visit the great lakes?

Why are the people sometimes so concerned and afraid? I do believe that 99% of the world is a safe place (as long as you don't act negligent)

Questions: When traveling in hostile places, what is your strategy to stay safe? Is it still to simply throw cans of food at the approaching pirates? Do you have to worry about ice in the arctic with a fiberglass hull? For polar bears, will throwing cans of food at them work, or will you have to get something like a Smith & Wesson Governor that you can load small gauge 410 shotgun shells (even 410 shotgun shells loaded with rubber pellets)?

Riley, how do you get your diving mask watertight with your serious mustache? Please explain your consumption of water, fuel and electricity and how you fill it up (watermaker, solar, bunkering. Do you find the room and capacaty (weight) for provisions sufficient ? (some monohulls do provisioning for 4 month, or think about Moitessier..)

Just a quality concern - you've got the vertical/horizontal live stream recording figured out. The audio was really bad on the last one and I couldn't watch it. Is there a better way to catch your audio when you live stream next? Great to see your adventures!

Any updates on coming to east coast to meet up with patrons here?

HI Riley, Really love watching you and Elena. Keep doing what you do. Paul

I'd love to know more about anchoring etiquette in the med vs the rest of the world. Always seems like a stressful moment picking your spot amongst a tight field of boats - like that guy with his wipers on last episode?

Dude...for the LIVE broadcast tomorrow...I wanna know what you're going to do about free-diving and fishing on your trip north? Thicker wet suit? Change up in fishing gear? Just curious. Diving and enjoying the warm sun are trademarks of SLV. I can't imagine seeing you shivering with ice in that stache.

What kind of exercises do you & Elayna do to stay fit? How often do you get a chance to workout?

Hey Buddy, glad you're safe, You guys sail in some pretty hairy stuff, curious about how much you look at weather before you head out (certain apps or features in them) and what's the point where you won't head out?
