Riley gets stalked by sharks for over an hour
Another lesson learnt......Spearfishing off the beach is not always a good idea. The hunter almost became the hunted.
Riley was chased to shore by four sharks for over an hour. Meanwhile, Lenny and I are hanging out at home without the slightest clue as to what's going on out there in the open ocean 😱🦈. I'm glad it was Riley who scored the dinner tonight. Don't worry, something unlikely to be repeated. Hope you enjoyed the story.
Love Elay, Riles & Lenny
xoxo

Great episode! One of my favorite to date. Would love the homemade chocolate recipe!
Maybe the sharks wanted your help removing the painful hook from its mouth
Hi I'm Michael I live in a small village in Canada, there was a couple in line in front of me at the food mart from Australia. I said I know some people there, Riley and Elayna. Oh yes we catch up on what they are doing every weekend. Congrats on 1M
You guys are epic. Keeping the dream alive with raising a family and living off of Mother Earth as much as possible, all while under sail. A true accomplishment. Stay safe and keep true. Love what you guys stand for.
The sharks just prove you better off on the cat. !-)
Bang Stick.....Sharks are becoming More and More Aggressive Several deaths this Year in Bahamas
Sharks,never trust them.
I did it- We got the insurance money for our house and I finally became a Patreon! Thank you again for the sailing guide and we are officially boat shopping this weekend!!!! Love to you all!
So inspired by you and your lovely family. Lenny just melts our hearts! If you find yourselves on or around Nantucket....
I should mention that you guys were a large part of the reason we have a hull to dive on. Sold everything and moved aboard nearly 2 1/2 years ago. Been cruising ever since. We love your videos and when the wind is howling through the rigging, and we are living on a 20 degree list, we watch a La vagabond and the same inspiration to do what we do lives on.
I was going to dive on the hull tomorrow. Thanks for that video.... :)
Glad you kept your head Riley, less you lost your foot. :) Well done mate! Little Lenny is such a happy guy when you guy's interact with him. And Elayna you're so good at preparing nice food, thanks for sharing.
Avon Skin So Soft works great on keeping away the no-see-ums, we always had some with us while living in U.S. Virgin Islands; and it leaves you with silky smooth skin taboot =]
Brand new patron here! Great vid! I was most impressed by Riley's dedication to bringing that fish home. I would have dropped it and took off for shore as soon as I saw the first shark lol! Riley:1, Sharks: 0 ;-)
Excellent video, thanks for scaring the bejeezus outta us Riley! Please do more mukbangs as they are always so much fun! 😊
Curious to know how you guys set new rules (either for yourselves or for each other) since becoming parents. I’ve always wanted a motorcycle but I can imagine when my wife and I have kids that one might be off the table. Maybe no shore dives, but is there anything else that has similarly changed since having Lenny? What’s new?
TF you outlasted the 🦈🦈🦈🦈 😳😓
Wonderful as usual. Don't forget to reach out if you make it to Maine!
That's Rileys "old man and the sea" story but this time the sharks didn't get the fish
Same thing happened to me Riles at Eden,NSW makes you switch on hey.
A little scary for sure. There's been a couple of attacks in Bahamas already this summer one fatal at Nassau. Do be careful Riley.
Among your most engaging and entertaining productions yet. Well done again. And that Lenny! So handsome! Be well, guys.
Man, he’s growing FAST!
Riley that was a bit freaky dive. I am with you on having a buddy diver. It could have gone other way real quick but happy to see you get out in one piece. Next time strap the hog fish to Elay and see what happens. LOL Just kidding. Elay that was an impressive looking you know what coming out freezer. Then I realized it was a chocolate banana. LOL Thanks guys for another good one. Cheers!
Sharks go away, eat poor Riley another day. I have questions I need answered to slake my curiousity. I am watching , again, the first season and I'm watching Ep.2 . I want to know how long have you known each other? Actually, I'll go to Facebook and send a message or my questions will never be seen. Actually, I just noticed you guys don't usemessenger on Facebook.
Hi Stephen! We met in the Greek summer of 2014. Yeah, we disabled the Facebook messenger, we try to prioritise our efforts to answering patreon first.
Really enjoy how much you laugh with each other. Lenny will grow up happy.
Now that was scary, so far from shore. Riles, never again even with someone! My stomach is churning. Ouch! Another power-out vid, the best. Started to watch vid 1-5. Seems so long ago but so refreshing to see all again. Loved the sandwich making, better each time. Bless u3. Always in my thoughts & prayers. Luv 'ya!
Kind of freaky that my brother and I went snorkeling from that same shore. I would have flipped out had I seen a shark!! Great episode.
We have seen every single video. We started from the beginning liked every single one ,fell for you all, became Patrons, and now can’t wait to see you in Annapolis at the Boat Show!! The hardest part is we can’t watch 5 episodes at a time. We are all caught up! There is nothing on Netflix. Lol.
haha! Nice one Miki! Yeah, we're looking forward to Annapolis, heard great things about their boat shows.
🥰
Core blimey mate!!!! Phew
Steve Irwin would have loved this one #RIP
love your videos!!
Have you run thru a scenario of what your plan would be if the sharks kept getting aggressive ? With the recent (less than a month ago) deadly shark attack in the Bahamas of the young college student, I can only imagine this crosses your mind on every dive . Curious as to what your thoughts are Riles. Well done on bringing home dinner and yourself!
I saw that story, very sad. I was fortunate the water visibility was really good and flippers helped keep me keep well ahead of them. Had the sharks got more aggressive, I would have let the fish go. I don't think they were interested in me Chris.
such a cute episode to see you too fully in love ! amazing to watch ! love every single episode of yours !
That must have been one sstifying dinner! Glad you didnt give them the fish and that you held it up. Glad uou had powerful fins on.
went to bed pretty early that night Monica
You did everything right, Riley. Staying calm is always the key around aggressive animals. Elayna, if you can ever find it, you might try substituting liquid aminos for the soy sauce in a marinade. Very similar taste and a whole lot better for you.
thank goodness you did drop the bloody fish !
Did you guys read about the lady diver, Christine Zenawi, that removes shark hooks from shark mouths. I think she's in the Bahamas. She said its like the word is getting out to other sharks that she's like the shark dentist, because they've started showing up more often and just calmy nudge up to her and peacefully wait for her to remove them. That might be a cool person to do a video with as an interview or even diving with her. I found a couple links on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeejSpPHPAw and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4m7Fw0GZxY
Wow, thats cool.
Too scary!!! Be careful, Riley - You want to live to see 1M subs! :)
For sure Lori, will stick with the tender in the future.
It was a little funny when Riley got bit by a pig (come on, it was). Shark(s), not so much. Glad he made it home with dinner without becoming dinner.
Just watched another sailing video,,,Zitaro where they mentioned you guys...never heard another sailing vessel talk about another one
Which video was that Jeff? Sailing Zatara? I met them at the Miami Boat Show earlier this year. Nice family.
I'll probably get crucified for saying this but I'd consider getting a bang stick.
I'm not sure that riding the sharks is the wisest move.
Glad Riley is ok! Love watching you guys life together.
Hi SLV Mates! OMG! What a “fish” story. Some pretty awesome footage there Riles! Much love to you all. Eyes open. Be safe. Fair winds ahead. Xoxoxo. Mel & T ;-)
This will be an Epic Fish story in the years to come.... And best of all, after everyone gets done yelling Bullshit!!, you can show them the Video. You're going to attain Super Hero status for this one.
Nice job.... showed them who's boss until the end.
Oh my! Glad Riley made it. I am at coffee and started to watch, when another customer, heard Elaynas voice and had to say hi, she had already seen it earlier. She wants to learn to sail and get out as so many here do. So I gave her the run down on how to do it where we are. i.e. sail with others on their boats as they cruise and race. Sooo much better than paying, not that that can not work as well. I have been meeting more and more people that already know of you. Cheers Dan S/V O-MY-GOD
I had to take an AntAcid tablet after watching this. 😱 Be Safe, Man.
😂
That is cousin Phil Jensen
The sharks are used to spear fishing and sense an easy meal in hope town - you need to have a means to get the fish out of the water quickly. Native divers in Fiji use a plastic barrel with the side cut off as a little float boat (Glue on some extra foam as gunnels to the edge of the barrel where cut). You can also buy small inflatable rafts for the same purpose - you tow them. Serves as a safety back up for you as well though it is a pain to tow. The best place to spear fish near Hope Town is on the barrier reef between Johny's Key and the North End of Elbow Key - take a local buddy. By the way say hi to Robert Malone and Phil Jesen from Kathy and Kimble.
👌😊
Insane!!!! So glad you only got a scrape Riley!! Geez. B safe! Enjoy your lil hogfish. 🤗💕
I spearfished that same beach over many years - with my Kathleen home with the bambinas.
👌 nice one Kimble. Any tips? Ah, I went too quickly, I see your feedback further down.
Lol shore spearing. You're brave. We go to Hopetown regularly and stay by the Abaco Inn. Love it down there and love your videos.
Brave is not the word Elayna used 😬 But yeah, besides having sharks stalk you, it’s a great spot 😄
Nothing to comment here, just wanted to be the first! :)... thanks for being you!
Cheers Greg! 🤙
