How to Mount a Dinghy [Ep. 169]

Really love it down in the Caribbean and this video is exactly how I want to retire. Looks wonderful. I'm curious about the storms and, specifically, the twisters (as we call them in the states): do you try to avoid or just sit and hope they miss you?

It cannot be said enough to slow way down around anchored boats. We nearly had our cleats ripped off while we rafted our monohull to my brothers power boat. Lost two fenders due to a errant power boater thoughtlessly ripping through our anchorage in the San Juan islands this summer. I cannot imagine if there were swimmers in the water (the water here is way too cold for swimming). There are usually many kayakers and paddle boarders, though. Every body needs to just slow down. Thank you for the reminder!

You guys are the best for sure! Love the vids. Love the pregnancy and its effects on the voyage. I await further confirmation that you will continue the voyage after birth, with baby in tow. No small task for sure, but one that will give you both the adventure and knowledge that your child will be a world citizen from the beginning. Capt. Rick

So nice to see Stefan back ... more eye candy lol lovely video as ever x

It is actually amazing how well your videos are done. Your videos have always been good (aside from the first 3) and I have watched them all. Your skills in this area are amazing and hope that after the baby arrives you will continue to Wow us with these wonderful sites and sounds of the world. Thanks for the joy you bring into my life.

Well l've just had the best 15 mins (not as good as Riles 30 min) of the last 11 years. Had some kinesiology today and it did something,also there was some bad focus on the cameras today.

Enjoyed

just a thought Vagabonders, got your lightening suppression act together ? plastic (insulator) boats are renowned for building up charge and getting struck by lightening in the rig, this guy is close and "seems" to have a few options <a href="http://www.cotemarine.net/Lightning_Protection.html," rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.cotemarine.net/Lightning_Protection.html,</a> a friends balsa epoxy 18M cat moored behind us was hit and blew up every piece of electrical equipment on the boat, startermotors, alternators, Nav, radios, battery banks etc, had a carbon mast, literally burnt the cabling out of the mast. Also blew a hole (small) in the hull at water level (ground), had to get hauled to fix all the damage. GREAT episode a friend's from that area, lives at Thursday Island now she loves the place, amazed she left

Crazy day here deep in mainland, but I got to go hang with you guy's and Steffen for awhile, thanks again! Cheers to you Riley, I'm drinking a glass of red too!! :) So now it's time to change the oil, fortunately we have a garage cause it's fre-fre-eeezing, 24F/-5C, but feels like 14F/-11C. Take care guys and look after that baby bump!

I love this video like I loved every video since your first one <3. I have a fish recipe for you but it’s for the time after Elayna’s pregnancy (raw fish and danger of listeria): make Filets of the fish and place them with the skin on a bed of a mixture of sugar, salt, pepper (3 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper per 500g), some mustard seeds and, if there, a little bit of dry graveolens. Keep one tablespoon of the mixture and scatter it on the top. Leave this in the fridge for 12-15 hours, decant the liquid, turn the fish and leave it another 2-6 hours on the side without skin. After that wash the fish, slice it and you have a delicious snack.

If Riley is going to keep mounting the dingy that way I'm thinking maybe he should keep the tiger shorts on. Yeah, definitely keep some sort of shorts on.

The US values it's nature. Lots of government fish. Thanks for sharing your videos. The second trimesters of my children were some of the best times of my life. The close connection to my wife, the focus on the future and a little bit a fear of the unknown. It makes life worth living. It's definitely a big part of life. Enjoy it, you two fun folks.

Great video. Your making me even more eager for may to get here when our family will spend two weeks in the Florida Keys. We call those Water Spouts in the US. They are basically tornadoes on the water. They are very common in the Gulf of Mexico. I had one pass within 1 mile of my port side when returning to Key West from the Dry Tortuga's a few years ago. That was pretty impressive and exciting. My buddy who has a cat in the BVI taught me that trick of entering a dinghy last year and it is easier. If you first push yourself down in the water while holding on the the hand rails and they "shoot" yourself up, the momentum will throw you into the dinghy. You should blow out with your nose to stop the water up the nose problem.

Another great episode I love being a patron I think you will make great parents

Watching this lovely video was a welcome relief, and a virtual breath of fresh air, from the fiery chaos here in Smoky California. Thank you. You even filmed droplets of water falling from the sky. I've nearly forgotten what it's like to experience that first hand. I, too, would be interested to know more of Captain Z's story. Thanks again. Love you guys -all three of you.

Yes agree the Bahamas are a true treasure so close to the USA They should hire you for PR Ads. I have to ask if those tiger stripe shorts scare off the tiger sharks?

Riley...impressed with your ongoing evolution to "Dad status"...when Elayna asks you to drive carefully....your response..."yes darling". Get used to that phrase mate...when the little man arrives, it will be very useful in all situations! Nice episode and good to see the adventures continue.

It is really fun to live vicariously through your adventures! Thank you so much for posting that video!

Capt. Z"; would like to know the yacht name, to look up it mission. I hope one of your anchorages (episode) is in the grassy "area" - NOT _ that Capt Z mentioned not to anchor in.

Beautiful! VAGA 1 vibe. Loved it, Thanks for sharing!

Great episode. Can you share anything about Captain Z and his program? Seems like something I would love to know more about. Can wait to watch a couple of the other episodes that are up. Love you guys and keep up the great work!!

Another great one! I just left Nassau Saturday. I waved from the plane but I'm sure you're in Australia by now. Hope all is well and going swimmingly!

When is

Looking good, enjoying the good life! Curious ... what brand and what weight is your anchor?

Thanks for another adventure

love you guys - makes me want to visit the Bahamas so chilled. Dingy - classic Riley 🙌
