Really tired. Everything’s funny. FLYING TO FRANCE for the REGATTA! With a baby.. Ep. 211
Join us for an amazing trip to La Grande Motte for the Outremer Regatta. We stayed with our old friend Matthieu (old friendship, not his age - haha). 28 boats from 11 different countries but let's be honest, it's no party without the Aussies ;)
If you've been up to date with our live videos, you probably already know about the announcement but if not, you can watch the last 5 minutes to find out :)
Thanks for making this video possible. You're awesome!
Love Elay, Riles & Lenny

Hi guys, me again. Loved the video of the Outremer yachts, but wo7ld have loved to have seen more. Is this going to be an annual visit.
Hi Nick, glad you enjoyed it, part two coming very soon x
That's why we love u3! Luv 'ya forever!
Love the light you’re shining back into the world Elayna! It’s so important for those who have a voice (and an audience) to use it for good! Looking forward to a meet up in Annapolis- also, our little guy is 8 months old and asked us to pass a hello along to Lenny!
For sure Ash! I'm assuming that's your little guy in your profile pic? Very cute. Lenny is very looking forward to meeting him.
When I throw my disposable income toward you, I feel I get a good value. Much like paying for a ticket at a game or something similar. Really good entertainment and learning is always something that I would invest in. Now that you have used your time and creativity, maybe financial resources, maybe not, I get to watch you pay it forward. If only all of us at some point in our lives would. A better world indeed.
Thank you Bill! xo
Can't say I've ever wanted to wear a bikini, especially as a 56 year old fat dude but hey if it's for a good cause I'm in!!! :-)
I'm so excited for you all with the new swim wear adventure. A charity close to my heart is our soak group in central Florida. It helps children with autism which my son was diagnosed with when he was 2.
Brian, your comment is so true. Exactly my thoughts on the subject. I often think we have lost the true meaning and understanding of being charitable. There is so much corruption, moral and pecuniary, involved in the massive billion dollar industry of charity that it has become a by-word for corruption and unless handled with true insight and proof that the ultimate intended beneficiaries actually benefit, then we are just feeding the corrupt industry. A very complex subject indeed., but if anybody can circumnavigate the problems, then I’m sure Elayna can. Best of luck Elayna, and all our love to you guys, from Nick & Rachel.
For sure guys, full transparency will be a big focus for us.
Perfect vid for the sailing and a few came quite close together 😳 and monkey boy was handy to have around for the flag... pity no coconuts! Looking forward to the new charity venture and the more that helps the planet the better! 🙌🏻🥰
Mens boardshorts would be awesome! Great idea!
There's some pretty cool designs out there actually. Hopefully they have better wear and tear than my last few.
Elay - love love love that you are taking positive action in helping others with your new venture. I do think micro-loans can be very effective if managed correctly - maybe down the line you can set up a foundation & registered charity to oversee how this money gets distributed. I will support you anyway I am able as I love that you are taking action to help others and your true heart & love shines through as always. Fantastic 🙌 so look forward to hearing more about this. Loved the vid as always. Ginger tea is a thing Riles!! I have the same thing with flights 😊💋 love to you, Riles and gorgeous Lenny. xxxx
Don't knock a Cheezit.
Effective Altruism is a bit of an oxymoron when taken in the context of giving money and believing that the money itself can solve the problem without understanding the motive of the person receiving the money. Young I am not; the most effective "Altruism" i've seen is a program doing micro-loans small amounts of money to people to start their own business. Perhaps the teaching a man to fish rather than giving him a fish is the real way to keep people fed and happy. Giving cash or anything else really make the giver feel good but does it solve the problem? it will make you feel better for sure.
Effective Altruism is about making sure funding is being used the most effectively. This doesn't exclude micro-loans for small businesses. Another outlook on it is; $2000 towards research in a rare disease that is effected by 10 people per year may likely go nowhere. $2000 towards Malaria Foundation is guaranteed to save at a minimum one child's life, potentially several. I appreciate what you're saying about teaching a man to fish and there's logic in what you say. No point donating food to someone who is hungry, they will just rely on that source and it effects the local economy. But in some cases there is justification to do both - band aid fix and solving the root cause. Look at the plastic epidemic. Do you bandaid it and put seabins in the marinas to educate people on the plastic waste going into the ocean? Do you try solve the root cause by putting pressure on governments to ban single use plastics? Do you try solve the root cause by convincing consumers we need to change our attitude towards using single use plastics? I think the answer is we need to be trying to do them all. Because you likely can't truly solve it until together we are all attacking it from every angle.
You guys are Ambassadors of sailing, Worldly conscious and people we would all like to emulate.
Love that you pursuing your dream Elayna in such a way to make an impact on our world and the people who live in it. Thats AWESOME ! Lenny is such a Legend !!! Love that kid ! He is so darn cute and getting cuter every day. He will one day steal you guys show completley. Love the regatta parts of the video and I know Riles had a blast ! Looking forward to seeing the rest.
SWIMWEAR?! swiiimwear!!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!
Amazing video (as always) and an even more amazing endeavor! Congrats and good on ya!
Sandals too!
Another great episode!
No resting on their laurels for Elay and Riles! No Sir! On to the next thing! Love it!
great projects !!!!! you guys are purely role models ! congrats! amazing video again!
Inspiring as always!... Good on ya mates!. Hope you'll have some of the wears ready for the Annapolis Boat show. BTW, take a look @ https://crabsailing.org for a charity in Annapolis. These folks help people with disabilities and at-risk kids learn about the freedom of sailing. If you want make the community of Annapolis smile, showing them a little love is a traditional way to do that in the boating community here.
Great stuff Elayna about giving back. I think the profits should stay with an organization helping our ocean. You see this first hand and could share some initiatives where that organization is making a difference. As I’ve mentioned before Mark and I have recently retired from expat life, Asia and The Middle East 20 years away. We’ve always given money or useful gifts close to our hearts. This year I start my giving back personally with the elderly. Meals on Wheels tomorrow and companionship coming up. I’m hoping for 2 days a week. Loved this video your happiness is infectious 🇦🇺. #GoLions PS. Great climbing skills Riley, 💕 the flag 🇦🇺 raising ✅
Congratulations on your new adventure. But bigger is that you are giving back to those less fortunate. God Speed and again. Congratulations.
Sooo amazing! Thank you so much for using your success for things like this ❤️ Definitely gonna buy some!
lol the Cheez-Its != Cheeses thing had me laughing pretty hard
Agreed! Make some mens trunks please!
Long time since we have heard the Elaina 'Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah!' But that will be my comment on the swimwear project. Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah!!! Christopher, Denmark
Hopefully you will be making mens swimwear too?
How wonderful to use your "fame" for such a worthwhile cause.
Flying with a baby, that's a whole new can of worms too by the way.
