Hey Aussies, So sorry we missed the live stream. Planning on being in Annapolis. Can't wait to meet up with you and the fabulous Lenny. So much fun to watch. Let us all know when you'll be there so we can try to catch up with you. Safe travels as always.
Where are you guys going to drop anchor in New York?
Why does Riley call Elayna "pants"?? I'm curious because my mom used to call me that, too!
Hey! Have you been to France yet for your Outremer trip yet? If not, when are you going?
We hear all the time from the long time sailors swearing by the older boats saying that the modern boats are not made as solid and sturdy as the brand new production boats. What is your opinion on this? As we plan to buy our live aboard sailboat in the next couple years, we are trying to figure out older used vs newer used. Cannot wait to see you all in Annapolis! You inspire us every time we watch your videos!!
Any idea when you might reach NYC area?
Will there be tickets for the meet and greet or how will we be able to be one of the lucky 130 ?
What spearfishing rigs would you consider to be the best to use in the Bahamas? ( I want to buy some as gifts for a couple of good friends who live on Spanish Wells year-round ) .
Riley do you do the Wim Hof breathing exercise. Do you think it helps with expanding your lungs to hold your breath longer? If you don't do that breathing exercise what one do you do? Also if you go up to Nantucket to check out the whaling history sail into New Bedford Harbor. It's protected by a Hurricane barrier and was the largest whale oil port at one time. Tons of history, a great whaling museum, and historic downtown area. Message me if you want more information I sail with my brother around there.
Is there still talk of doing a meet up in New York sometime? Not sure yet if we will be able to make it to Annapolis.
Hi from New England, random free diving question. What are your thoughts on free diving recovery vests like http://oceanicss.com/? Have you tried one or considered one since you do most of your dives solo? I do not have an opinion/experience with them myself, but just curious of your opinion as an experienced free-diver.
Greetings from Wisconsin. Have you ever considered sailing the Great Lakes? Lake Superior can be very cold and dangerous, as evidenced by the loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald in the 70s. There was a rather haunting song written if you have never heard of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vST6hVRj2A. I think it is worth touring all or most of Lake Michigan in particular as it has to offer, including the many islands.
hello! kind of a silly one. what do you do after the sun goes down? do you turn on lights? go to bed? work? when living off the grid as you do, and now being governed by a toddler, do you stick to the schedule of daylight? i’ve always been curious.
Hey guys! What is your safety precaution for man overboard situation when you sail alone or at night. Did you consider any device like a tag or remote control? Lots of love! Thank you for being such an inspiration for years x http://www.nauticexpo.com/prod/nke-marine-electronics/product-21526-382473.html
I'll be tuning in from Canada! Will y'all be making it up to Maine after all after the boat show? There is some great sailing up here, and the Bay of Fundy is wild! much love xx
Being from Nova Scotia, I agree with you 100% Lauren! Definitely, a sailing must!
what books are you currently listening to and recommend? Riley- do you ever read any fiction, or do you prefer to stick to non-fiction, self betterment type books?
Have you encountered many families also raising children on a boat and if so what advice have they given you?
When you say double passes is that a 2 day pass or is it for 2 people? Q for the live chat: What has been the biggest surprise raising Lenny so far? How does land life compare to living onboard when you have a little one to consider? Can’t wait to see the videos one day of Riley teaching him to spearfish 😂 Love you guys💕-Marlena
Hey guys! Love all the videos. You had mentioned in one of your videos Elayna that you like lions mane mushrooms. I’m a chef and my friend grows lions manes . I make an all natural sea salt out of them. Would love to send you some to use on all that hog fish you catch. Or I could just tell you how to make it. Great way to get some added nutrients and umami in your food. Thanks guys for the great videos again!!
Just for the record, It was the baby book "Goodnight Moon" and a toothbrush shaped like a turtle. Also a dish towel with the state of Louisiana on it. No big deal.
Awe, Goodnight Moon is a must-read! The Going To Bed Book would be a good one too, and takes place on a boat... They will certainly be creating some space for Lenny to have some books on board- they are book lovers after all!
Question for you guys: Could y’all be any cuter? I mean, dang y’all were cute before Lenny but now it’s off the charts!!! I can’t wait to see how far y’all venture off the beaten path and to see how you navigate a growing family on your boat! Shabbat shalom from Texas!
What are your future route plans this year? Has sailing with Lenny been a piece of cake or do you prefer a little land sometimes?
Heading to St Lucia end of November... chartering a 42 mono... any suggestions about where to sail and what to see??
Sorry to miss you live today. Cooking 25 lobsters for a friends rehearsal dinner🦞 at 6. Hope you are all very well. 🌞
Amazing Christina, enjoy! 😊
Texas Representatives #1 & 2 here... we have a few questions.. 1) Our daughter is a big Balto movie fan, so we see the Northern Lights in cartoon form OFTEN , but never on your videos.. Is sailing too far north dangerous because of the colder weather/water? 2) You guys feature so much music in your videos.. how do you decide which song segment, not to mention just song in general, will be best for which part of each video? 3) Complete this sentence: " How are we already out of ________?!"
Thanks for hours of video pleasure. Always great on sea or land.
♥️ thanks for supporting them Mike
BTW did you see shout out from Slow Boat blogger?
What was it Jack?
We missed ya'll in Abaco. We had some gifts for Lenny. Could you give me a mailing address to send a package to you? Thanks, Charlie and Family.
Thanks Charlie but unfortunately logistics is a nightmare and space on board is very limited. Appreciate the offer though. It’s very kind.
Annapolis boat show ticket
So, reply at 5 pm to get a shot at tickets?
I’m confused, 6PM or 5 PM?
Sorry for any confusion Jo-Annie. Competition opens at 5pm. LIVE telecast starts at 6PM
Will we be seeing a safety net around the perimeter of your boat as Lenny begins toddling about?
I’m wondering how hard you think it will be for Lenny to learn to walk on a moving boat. He is such a charmer, btw.
4:21 am? Go to bed young lady/gent
I think it's more like good morning Lenny!
TGIF!!! With my husband and I beginning our sailing lessons at the end of August, we are also slowly looking at purchasing a sailboat. We may use it as a live on board situation. Having lived and sailed long distances in a Monohaul and a Catamaran, which do you recommend for 2 first time sailors? Or any insight to the difference besides just the way it rides on the water? Thanks!!! ♥️♥️ See you soon in Annapolis!
Wifey and I are taking our ASA classes in October. Good luck and safe passage. Cheers
Hello there! I know you guys had planned to circumnavigate, is that still an option? I would also love to see videos of you guys in japan, any plans for that?
Question: Riley, What we see from vid suggests you’ve had lots of issues with B&G and now maybe the nearby lightning strike while in Harbor Towne might be the culprit. Any updates?
Question: have you considered sailing north up the Hudson River in NY or maybe along the north eastern seaboard?
Question for live chat: Any update on the NYC patreon meetup? Can’t wait to see you guys!! ❤️
Question for the live chat: would you guys consider sailing to the Island of Mauritius the Indian Ocean? Lots to see Mauritius, Seychelles, Le Reunion, Rodrigues, Madagascar etc.
I shall be chasing squid off the Sunshine Coast but will be waiting for the chat 🤙🤙❤️
What will you do with La Vagabonde now that the little guy is growing & about to become independently mobile? Do you have plans for retrofitting?
Would you consider sailing the asia pacific region?
Go kids! And, looking foreward to new great endeavors, even away from your Bahama paradise! Christopher, Denmark
Hello from Paris, will definitely tune in! can't thank you enough for your videos :)
Question for live chat: what is your next long distance sail destination or are you guys holding off till Lenny is a bit older?
🤟😎 we will be there
Top ten, I will see you at 5! Love you three.
Will tune in!
