BITTEN ON THE ASS BY A PIG [Ep. 160]
I was warned. Various cruisers who we had met that had been in the area previously all knew what these pigs were like. People said to me "you watch out for them pigs son they'll gitcha." Alas, I did not listen. The bite through the shorts doesn't actually look too bad but in the next few days will become a large bruise.
There are probably some people who are going to say that it wasn't technically my ass and I will grant you that whilst it wasn't exactly the area I would like to know if you would feel comfortable if a stranger rubbed you there?
Maybe the worst thing out of the whole event was the loss of one of my 4 pairs of good shorts. I have often wondered what people find so intriguing about these creatures, people coming from miles away to watch them. We really should have left when the big one did the poo in the water next to us.
Cheers. Riley.

I dont see what the big deal is about these pigs.... they're just pigs!!
Kept on thinking the pig was going to take a bite of the tender....that would not have been good... then it got your tender instead 😂😂
Just as well you had a tetanus shot ,from the doc when you had your stitches eh ! Thanks for the great edit as always
I swear your an accident looking for a place to happen Riley. I hope you have a great life insurance policy on him Elayna. LOL Well kids, keep up the outstanding job. Have fun, be "SAFE" and KEEP ON, SAILIN ON. cheers
Riley, Mate it's better to pour the soap or wax into the brush, than try to spread it on a smooth service. Thanks for the vids!!!! Hippity Skippity!
Does anyone know where miss Elayna gets her bikinis from!!!!
Anyway, the lighting was remarkable, as was the emotional kick (boost?) on Pig's Island. Perchance on discovery, American Civil War History of cruisers, smugglers, and Letters Of Marque validating capture of vessels, can be rewarding if you search in the right mass of information. Just something for you two to do as you await delivery. Love!
Got it, hit the "likes" thing! It's a generation thing, e.g. don't do FB etc. Life is so special, thanks for sharing yours. :) Love you guy's!!!
This is so good to watch! I lived and sailed on a Rival 41 with my family when I was 10. We cruised around the Bahamas and spent Christmas of 2006 in Stanley Cay. The caves were amazing and the swimming pigs are certainly something to remember!! Wicked to see you guys exploring where I have such fond memories :)
Love this from the Exuma, one of the most beautiful places there is!! Yes, I know, those pigs bite!! So happy it wasn’t worse!! Love to you both and the baby to be! ❤️
Elayna I think you have have found the secret, take your days as they come. Listen to your body, you have always taken care of your body and it not let you down. It is hard to remember you are sleeping, eating for two now. As time goes on you may want to think about bringing on people that know how to sail. Elayna, you know you could captain your own boat, you have learned well. Riley, you are lucky to have such a talented student and now mate. Good luck in future ventures from a 78 year old grouch.
Sorry Riles, I know it hurt, but I had to laugh at pig attack! When you guys get to the northern Bahama island of Abaco, make sure you visit that pig beach with some melon rinds (or about anything left over) for a better experience. Great job with the grotto video!
Love your videos Mates! Elayna gets better looking each day and Riley's accidents get more entertaining. Cheers.
Great video!! Cheers mates!
I realize this is a not a sailing related question, but I’ve always wanted to ask Elayna whether she can make a video about how she keeps such a beautiful physique! A while ago you were incorporating some healthy food facts and snippets of exercises here and there, I personally really liked them! If you’re going to do a pregnancy series, could you squeeze in a video about staying healthy and fit? You really inspired me to make better and healthier daily changes, watching your videos just really motivates me! The both of you are absolute legends and I’m so glad I found you (sorry for this turning into a very sloppy love confession, but I just couldn’t help it) All the best to you both :)
Checking in from Austin, love the Shakey Graves cover Elayna!
Glad to hear that Elayna had a good sail and some sleep!
Any cha
Music is great in every vid you do. Adds much to the overall entertainment value. Thanks for another adventure.
Love all the videos! Keep up the good work! Big love from Norway Best regards Andreas Økland
What a great episode...next week crispy bacon in the salad! Thank you guys very much...
Landlubba here. The idea is then that the anchor holds position and the weight of the anchor chain stops the boat from moving about in the wind or tide? So it is sensible to “park”(😃) a distance equivalent to the circumference of movement to the boat next to you. Thus avoiding the situation mentioned in worst nightmares? Nice love bite on your thigh by the way😃
Love the new video!!! watch out for those pigs!!!
Do the likes on Patreon help, or just YouTube? I don't know why, but it cracks me up you guys did such a touristy thing as swim with the pigs. 😁
Fantastic!!
Great video guys!
You see pig. I see breakfast on legs , just a thought ....
Great episode! Have so much fun in Florida :-)
Momma pigs can be mean very mean. Eat some bacon it will make you feel better.
We have been very fortunate to sail those waters as well the pigs are fun to a point! Look forward to more of your adventures there and hope you made it Home to Compass Cay with the swimming with the Sharks those folks at Compass are legends! That whole chain of islands are amazing just getting more popular and that is sad.
Ps there is nothing wrong taking a season out from sailing to be just you 3 in the location that will best support you all as u transition into the next phase of your life, so u can plan yr future be it back on the boat or not. I reckon baby on board is totally achievable, but it doesn’t have to be the first 3 months of it’s life. Exciting times for you all.
Elayna, when ya body sends u the signal and wants you to lay down, it’s because you are growing a baby. Never feel guilty for resting because you are doing the most important job that only u can do and that is provide that little boy of yours what it needs to grow and develop. Mothers guilt is always present, got to master it now. When u rest, u are not lazy, u are creating life!
Yup! Just listen to your body it's telling you what you need.
Great video! It’s always a pleasure to hear from you guys! Cheers!
The Bahamas FINALLY!...I've been trying to get there for years...You two are my travel guides...I Fear no Piggy!! HA ah!
There should be a pig roast follow up video in the future. Bite back! :)
Another epic video!
What do you think the pig's name was that bit you Riley? Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner I wonder ? :)
Usually if I want to see someone get bitten by some random animal I head over to the Delos channel and watch something bite Brady. Riley is generally who you want to watch if you want to see someone going to the doctor for stitches.
Riles, I'm starting to think you're a bit accident prone!
Riley make sure you take care of that pig bite you never know what kind of diseases they have ? keep your eye on it! Always enjoy you guys videos hope the best for you two.
Riley, hope you doused the bite with Hydrogen Peroxide and a good anti-biotic salve. From the look and size of that "floater" in the water; there could be some bad ass bacteria floating around... Great video, also loved the underwater footage. You guys are getting very good at that! Cheers, Capt. Rick
Hi guys loved your sailing today, you just came across as so relaxed and contented it was lovely to watch. Just proves life doesn't have to be a million miles an hour to be great. Take care XX
A little apple sauce and you could bite the pig back;-)
Beautiful video guys. Crystal blue water. new adventures, pig gangs :) I honestly feel like, my friends are telling me a story, each time I watch your videos. Love you both. fair winds !
I was a bit concerned this summer in Treasure Cay when my daughter and I visited the pigs. I agree...No interest in doing it again. Glad it's just a flesh wound and welcome to the Bahamas.
Riley, I hope I'm laughing with you and not at you. Never the less, I'm laughing. Heal quickly. Great episode. Loved the underwater sequences. Always a joy.
I think I've never posted a comment before in my entire life, but you guys are amazing so I really want you to know! ;) Also Elayna, I don't know when you are flying to Australia, but please make sure to at least inform yourself about thrombosis. You can and should wear compression stockings to avoid this. They are available in different lengths in pharmacies. Have a good day :)
Beautiful footage; great clarity. So much better than some others. Onward to Florida! Fair Winds!
Owie!! Bit on the bum! Ouch. Bad piggy!! You 2 make me want to see bahamas more that i already do. Unbelievably beautiful!! As always,great footage!! Thank you for sharing. 💕💕 from california
I'm dreaming right along with u. Loved another vid, scenery fabulous, pigs, not so much. Keep sailing, relaxing & enjoying. Luv 'ya!
EXACTLY! Never knew what was so nteresting abt dirty pigs and clear ocean...but ppl flock there like sheep or pigs i guess..those dont mixwith water,take it from the guy who lives on Dalmatian coast . As for youguys,thing is,these videos are too short 😁I could easily live with 30 min a day show...I was even thinking of separate tv channel to broadcast all these different ppl doing stuff....what do you say capt Riley.
A "Kellet" or "anchor sentinel" will vastly improve your anchoring and prevent the rode from contacting your hull. The Phonenicians used them two thousand years ago. LV will "clock 360" and not foul the rode. It's a catenary weight, cheap and effective.
I've watched many YouTube post of the 007 Grotto, none, NONE have been as good as the 90 seconds y'all shared with us, thanks. Been wanting to go to Stanly Cay for years, after several private pilots vloges I watch, have said its there favorite island stop. My boats to big, my free times to short, or budget lacking, but some day I' ll do these tourist jaunts ..... soon!
For many of us, your life is a vacation. Which raises the question, What do you do on vacation?
As always so interesting and real, just like being on vacation with you both !
Lovely scenery! I hope you guys are all up to date on your shots!! Stay safe! xoxoxo
First vid as a patreon fair dinkum 🤔
How do you thumbs up a video when you watch it on Patreon?
