A few helping hands after Hurricane Irma [Ep. 144]
Riley, myself, and two other boats drop the pick in southern Barbuda to volunteer in the clean up after the devastation of hurricane Irma. It was a real eye opener having spent time in the town, talking to the locals and seeing how progress on rebuilding the island was coming along. At this stage they say it is going to take them at least another two years to get back to 'normal'. We also run out of cooking gas and have to resort to camp fires for dinner, which is always fun.
We were surprised to see; tickets for our function in Miami sold out in 4 days which is pretty incredible. For our patrons who are based in USA who are not attending, hopefully we can make another event in the future that is suitable for you. We'll give you advance notice before it's published anywhere else. If you know of any events on the USA east coast in July and August, we'd love to hear about them.
Thank you to everyone around the world for supporting these videos. We really appreciate your support.
Have a great week!
Elayna & Riley

Well done guys , love your work you are beautiful people , big luv to you both 🇦🇺
Your gonna be a great Dad, Riley. Get ready for your life to be turned upside down. That is, in the most wonderful, unimaginable way possible. You and Elayna have such a special relationship. Remember to cherish each other and always put one another first. Having kids is the hardest job you'll ever have, but the most rewarding. Many blessings to you both. I've been thinking about you guys and praying for your new family. God bless.
Incidentally, are you guys registered anywhere for Baby stuff? I'd love to send you guys something. It takes a village, right :)
Great episode. I shared this one with my daughter, Riley (she’s 10). She has a great heart and really liked you helping those people. She’s also a fan of Riley :)
Sure hope no one spoils before the show. Riley got his clearance. Elayna, I bid to believe you did too. Dinghy push. Not ever sure they know what we know or what no other knows here, as in everybody. Simple to redo anything says the fool. "It will grow back". Love you two.
Great Video!!! I look forward to these every week. If you have time while in the Caribbean you should check out San Salvador Island. It's supposedly where Christopher Columbus first spotted land on his first expedition. They have a couple monuments showing where he landed. They also have some GREAT reefs with loads of fish.
It's like therapy stress relief watching you too. Thank you for making our hearts smile
Nice. Very relaxing your videos just take the days stress away. Thanks for the micro vacation
'Hoping Elon talks you into ditching the diesel & going all-electric! :^)
I'm sure you realize that, through the sharing of your life through these videos, you've become a part of our family. Not surprised at all that you sold out your event in such a short time.
Well done guys. Absolute champions.
My priority list: 1. E&R videos 2. sleep 3.food 4.univerity. There is nothing better than watching you guys do your thing. Thank you for filming and editing these videos. One day I hope, I am able to do the same thing!
Great stuff guys! In the states we have a program called Habitat for Humanity. Volunteers building affordable homes. These are always the most rewarding days.
Fabulous! U2 make my life & others I'm sure simply wonderful. Always a super surprise when I see ur vids in the AM. Keep sailing, luv u3!
How many more days did you hold out without restocking food and gas? You don't seem overly concerned about that.
What a humbling experience to help with cleanup. I must say princess is a brave woman! Id be radioing the coast guard for assistance. Haha spiders freak me out. In all seriousness though,another great video!!
La Vaga III??? Table for three?
good on you guys for helping out, they really need the support
Good stuff guys - thanks for helping Barbuda. Elayna your giggles made me smile :) xx
Are you still coming up the east coast ?
That's the plan David. But we generally don't like planning too far ahead as it causes all sorts of other problems.
I just realized that the coolest part of traveling with E & R is the people they introduce us to. Thanks for that!
Our pleasure Mark ;)
Awesome job helping with that cleanup. However, if I had a spider that size on my hat I would have to burn the hat....and likely the building as well just to be sure.
haha! She's certainly taken 'easy going' to new levels :)
