It's summer time, and the livin' is easy [Ep. 149]
Moored off the lush green island of Nevis, we've got plenty of exploring to do, a freezer full of fish to share with our neighbours, a volcano to climb and a whole lotta good vibes to give! Yo ho ho!
Made with love,
Elayna xo (& Riles)

The books are always better, but there is a movie based on the story “Wild” starring Reese Witherspoon. Another suggestion is the John Muir trail documentary, highly recommend. Love the videos, enjoy the good life.
will check it out. Thanks Cole!
I am always following your story...interesting.
Thanks Mohammad!!!
"German Rap" seems like a contradiction in terms, but pretty neat!
RGUS, all I can say is that if Elay's beauty makes you uncomfortable then perhaps your money is wasted here and you should redirect it to your membership in the Taliban.
Disregard the haters (RGUS). You are a lovely couple and I really enjoy your videos. Congrats on the fantastic news - since having my own kids I've always said that kids may change your habits but they don't have to change your lifestyle! If you are ever in Curacao (Dutch Caribbean) you are welcome to stay at our holiday home <a href="https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/3756283" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/3756283</a> All the best!
I know when I was pregnant, in my early months, the same happened. I was so exhausted all the time and pretty much could fall asleep anywhere. I was working at the time and would have to go out to my car just so I could take a nap. Your body is is changing so rapidly during this time. Im afraid to say that it is due to hormones (in most cases). The best thing was to just listen to what your body is telling you. If you need to snooze for even 15 minutes, it is worthwhile to do so!
Elayna, you mentioned you did some internetting about your bout of fatigue... I have struggled with this too, and I'd be interested to know what you found out. Thanks!!
Stay safe!, please.
love love love. Rhode Island has a beautiful coastline and an amazing sailing community... You two should see if you can make a visit up this way coincide with the Tall Ships, who visit Newport & Jamestown almost every year here in lil Rhody. Also, my mom is a Master Doula & doula trainer (like a midwife, in a sense) and could offer some great resources & info for you two if you're interested.
Great video again as always!! Really interested to see what you find in St Martin. We were there a couple of years ago (stayed at Simpson Bay Resort - right off your bow!) and loved the island and the people. It was really hard watching the videos of the damage - hoping they have been able to largely recover by now. I realize by the time you see this you will have likely moved on to your next destination - but if you get a chance to go see Molly at the Butterfly Farm - do it! Tell her I said "Hi" (like she'd remember- ha!) - it's a great place to visit though - you'd really enjoy it.
Great recommendation E. The PCT is definitely an amazing adventure! We live right off the trail in Southern California. It’s so beautiful. Hikers pass through every spring attempting the 2650 miles. We’ve met many Aussies coming up the trail.
You will not regret the PCT! Truly amazing.
Whatever you do don't have the baby in USA. It will cost 4 times more than anywhere else, and much much worse it may then be an illegal immigrant and immersed in the horrendous mess going on when Trump even tried to expel these kids without their parents. Plenty of good non USA islands in Carib if you don't go back to OZ.
Tourist visas presumably. Not immigration or work visas. Oldest trick in book to get into US (short of marriage). Have a 'parachute" baby.
Another great adventure to watch guys, always cheers up my boring London days! So inspiring to see how you are adapting to pregnant life on board Elayna, I am sure that your lifestyle will have such a positive impact on your body and little one! I would definitely back the idea of a baby fund to help you get anything you need to make your pregnancy and life on board with a little one easier!
awesome vid, cool drone footage. Bummer you didn't get another wahoo, the first one was pretty cool. Elayna looks to be coping VERY well health and fitness wise, hope you guys come back to Au for the baby launch, might actually get to meet you all
Good going on the catch Riley !!! 🐟 Always love your adventures! I agree with the suggestion of a baby fund so we all can bless the coming bundle of joy. It can be our way of throwing you a baby shower "SLV becoming 3" since we cannot be there in person to celebrate 🍼🍼
Wahoo! You guys are the bomb!
Thank you for all of the cool videos. I’ve been home recovering from a two disk replacement in my neck. Your videos have kept me entertained for sure. I’m encouraged by Riley as he had his own neck surgery and he has healed and can do most things except falling on his head on the Atlantic crossing. Very excited about your bun in the oven. Can you put a baby fund on your account for all of us that want to bless your new little one?? You will get lots of advice as you enter this new phase. Just remember, no one will know what is best for your son or daughter than you two. 💖💖💖
Hurray! My first sneak peek vid! Wish I made more to get that baby fund off to a roaring start. What an awesome feeling to share your wahoo with everyone. Can’t wait to learn to spear! Thanks, guys! P.S. The PCT goes right through Oregon, if you decide to trek it Elayna, and need anything along the way! 😊
Just a great vid! U guys are the boom! Stephan cracks me up, I had 4 years of German in high school, would love to practice with him. 1 question that's always on my mind: how do u pay for things while taveleing all over the globe! My wife just went to the store with our cc & check book. Just wondering.... Cant wait for the next shoot, Riles has got the spear fishing down pretty solid. Luv 'ya !
Wonderful video as always cheers!
How many hundreds of anchorages I've been in and and not once has anyone stopped by to hand me a wahoo package! ;-)
Great video from Nevis. I never got there in my travels. Your travel videos have gotten so good I can only find one comparison. Anthony Bourdain— parts unknown.!. (I will always miss Anthony. So thank you for filling that void.
Such a great adventure you share with us land lubbers. Who needs to go on a sailing vacation when we get to share your lifestyle in 15 minute segments. And that drone footage is just awesome. The joy of living that you project into your videos is a wonderful thing and I think we all appreciate it.
Nice video........ Enjoy watching you two
Thanks Byron! 👍
The quality of you're videos just keep getting better. I've been watching y'all since you only had 2 episodes several years ago and there is such a big difference in every aspect of your videos. Hope all is well!
Thanks mate. We've spent so much time constantly trying to improve them, it's great when someone notices the big differences.
Love the line: “Don’t go chasing waterfalls”🎶 hahaha! One observation - have you considered putting a Safety cutout for your dinghy motor on your wrist? I’ve seen someone cut up by their own dinghy’s motor which circled back without them in it - not pretty.
Haven't considered it to be honest Craig. I feel pretty safe but I'll keep it in mind.
Riley and Elayna - read The Fatal Shore by Robert Hughes. The story of Australia's founding and convicts. Should be a must read by every Aussie. Absolute belter of a book.
Cheers mate, i'll add it to the list...... although I have a pretty lengthly list at the moment.
Mountain hiking, waterfall hiking?? We have that in abundance here in the upstate of South Carolina/western North Carolina. You'll should visit sometime
Travelled that area while my son attended Furman.
Wonderful video!!!! Hope you're keeping cool in the warm summer months.
Cheers Stuart! Can't complain with the heat when you can jump in the water :)
You guys didn't reference the fact that you spent time with Charlie in Charlestown. Of COURSE he's serious about the ocean, he has a port town named after him.
