Abandoned Mine Ruins on a DESERTED ISLAND! [Ep. 152]
We sailed to Sombrero Island, the most interesting deserted island with ruins dating back to the 1800's. Sleeping on anchor with the sounds of all the birds was other-worldly. Definitely worth a visit if you ever get the chance!!
Enjoy guys! Thanks for your support!

Love the birds and that incredible island! Thank you!!
One of your BEST. Thanks-so-much. Those birds look like blue-footed boobies by-the-way. Love to you both.
bahahaahahahahaa
You're headed for the DR? I just left the DR!
The island looks like it might smell. Birdie poop everywhere. I did like the back and forth perspective from each of you though. That was fun. BTW - I love how Elayna talks to all the animals in that little voice. Sooo funny! I have to admit, I do it too. Fellow animal lover.
Another epic episode guys, Sombrero looks epic!
A big BONJOUR Elay and Riles from Québec, Canada! Stephanie and I are now part of your Patron family! We are very proud to support your adventures and challenges. Thank you for this new video. À bientôt! Stef & Dave xoxo
Hey guys, when will we see you in Chicago and sail Great Lakes? No salt no sharks here! :) Lots of harbor towns to see and explore on Lake Michigan. Also one of the best spots in world for ship wreck diving as well as airplanes wreck diving. Lake used to be a training ground for early aircraft carriers and pilots so lot of planes to explore. Since it is fresh water and cold most of the year, shipwrecks are well preserved. There is lot of fishing and huge sailing community. Can we set up Patrons meet up from Midwest and around the country in Chicago? I have a place for you to stay while here and we could set up meet up at Chicago Yacht Club or Columbia Yacht Club, both in downtown Chicago. You might pick up some new Patrons while here if they hear your story and share your journey. Let me know if interested. Cheers, Vlad
Have you guys seen this website? A real time map of the oceans currents. <a href="https://earth.nullschool.net/%23current/ocean/surface/currents/orthographic=-51.72,32.27,513" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://earth.nullschool.net/%23current/ocean/surface/currents/orthographic=-51.72,32.27,513</a>
What are you're plans for the fast approaching hurricane season? We were considering honeymooning in Key West/Bahamas as I wanted to see the Mel Fisher museum, but last year seemed a little extreme. Are you guys going to head north or south to Grenada. Would she fit up the intracoastal canal on the US east coast (could be an interesting video),
Hi, I'm a new Patreon, so forgive me for asking old questions. I've been making my fiance watch episodes as she agreed to circumnavigate before I proposed to her! I watched your episodes on Soller to plan our cruise round Majorca this summer, so thanks for the advice and the drone footage is better than any pilot book.
Elanya, you are my hero! Cutting chum whilst enduring morning sickness. You gotta love your man!
Love it! And love the Ace Ventura bit!
Guanooooooo! 😂😂 Such a great video! Sombrero looks amazing! I’d never heard of it before, now it’s definitely on my list! Elayna you did a wicked job to cut up chum while sea sick and pregnant! You deserve a freakin medal, wifey of the year for sure.
One of the most remarkable things about you both in these current vids is seeing how much knowledge you've built up over the years, and how you apply it. Your description of your course to Sombrero, Elayna, and your quick thinking with the Code D jam, Riley, are two cases in point. It's always been one of the main attractions of watching your journey so far. That ability to take on every challenge and continue to develop as sailers, film makers and people. Nice ep too.
Absolutely The most gorgeous epi, watched it here on vacation in Tuscany, Italy together with my wonderful wife Heidi and my two girls, 15 and 11 years old. We all enjoyed it very much! thanks to the three of you and also to Stefan 😍🤗
Very interesting,nice to see you taking a little more care.....there may have been sulfuric acid in the water where the batteries were.. and avoiding rusty load bearing structures is best policy p.s, you most likely know that ginger is very good for sickness or tummy upset I use it and it definitely works... take care now.x
OK, this place just made it onto my list of " must visit" places when Marana is ready! Wonderful island! Marana has a deep keel to, so keeping an eye out for the deeper anchorages you guys visit.
And Bonine for sea sickness....(says you can take while pregnant BUT talk to your doctor first;) <a href="https://bonine.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bonine.com/</a>

Another sick one!
Thank you! Happy belated bday Riles, and I’ve got Elay’s on my radar! Makes so much sense, a Gemini and a Leo!
You guys will be such awesome parents. A+ for dealing with swell, burley, and guano! Oh, any chance of revealing your birthdays? Maybe I missed it somewhere... 💕💕
Cheers Tiff! Elayna's is July 30, mine is May 25
I'm still fascinated by how long you both can stay under the surface without an air tank. What's the longest amount of time you've been able to do that?
around 30m for depth, around 4 minutes for time without air but we're currently spectators at a freediving championship so always looking for ways to improve.
Loved the vibes on this one! They're all great but this one somehow felt a bit nostalgic and I got really into it, it was like I could almost smell the sea! :D
perfect Monica! That's what we're after!
Elayna you rock, mom to be in the open Atlantic dropping chum for your man. This is one of my top favourite of the series. What a bizarre and cool place Sombrero Island is, can't wait to see the dive footage.
I'm sure he'll return the favour when we have a full nappy for the one thousandth time :) haha
Legendary! E. Should get a crew award for chumming while pregnant and not losing it!. no more Patron picks for Bahamas?
Another masterpiece! Great innovative way to release that halyard! I wouldn’t have though of that but I will if t happens to me in the future! Thanks! Good idea to keep one or two flares in the dinghy after all that’s where you’ll be if it all goes pear shaped! Great island!
I love the little Ace Ventura addition to the end :)
How good is Ace Ventura :) Love him
