Our New Boat!
We have officially returned to monohull life... only this time we have two little ones in tow! 😅
Join us this week for a full exterior and interior tour of Calypte, a stunning 35ft monohull owned by our friend Toren (who's currently looking to sell her).
Riles and I are super excited to have been given the opportunity to call this sailboat our home for the next few months & we're looking forward to making some memories onboard whilst sailing these idyllic Indonesian waters!
And that's not all that's new for this week... we've suddenly found ourselves adopting a four legged stowaway. Meet Chochi!
We hope you all enjoy this early [ad free] preview of next weeks episode. As always, thanks so much for your support!

Elay, Riles, Lenny & Darwin

PS: Let us know in the comments what you think of Calypte & where you think we should sail her next?

I hope Chochi is feeling better! Seeing a Heeler pup so mellow really shows how poorly she was feeling. The boys’ compassion with her was so sweet. Thanks for sharing the adventures! 🐶❤️
It looks cozy!
It is 😙 just like the good old days x
You guys look cute on the mono haul! It llo
Hi guys, we are very sorry we missed you when you collected her in Lombok. We are friends of Glen & Carol that own the Manta Cat you meet. I’m sure you will have a ball travelling around that area we did for the 5 nights we had on board. Keep up the great work we love following your adventures.
Oh heyyy, cheers Randall. 🙌🏽
Chochi! 🥹♥️ I worry for her though 😔

Loving this, can’t wait for the longer ep next time. Excited to see the trimaran in all its glory on the water in time, but this seems like such a well placed return to your early days. Should be a blast! And relatable for those of us who are unlikely to end up on a slick multi hull 😊
Yeah, you're right Tim, it actually has been a welcomed flashback to the early days.. Glad you're feeling it too. 💌
Love that you guys are back on a sweet mono waiting for your boat to be finished. Love following your adventures. I just bought a little Trac14 beach cat last summer to teach my grandkids to sail at a nearby lake here in Pennsylvania. In Australia they are called a Windrush.
Congrats!! they're so much fun to sail. Hope you guys enjoy, we certainly have been. Nostalgic, but this time with 2 kiddos in tow xx
Wow, this boat is lovely and so charming. Thank you for showing us--wish I could stay there. I love how you create these warm, witty, genuine glimpses into your adventures (about died laughing at your reference to the phallic funnels ;-))...tbh I'm not even a huge boat or sailing person like most of your patrons seem to be, but I just adore your life shown through your videos, they've brought brightness and deliciousness to my days ever since I was pregnant with my oldest daughter in 2018 (two babies later now, my youngest is 18 months). My only wish is that these were longer, I'm always left wanting more!!! Can't wait to see more of Indonesia through your eyes. Love from landlocked St. Louis :-)
Thanks so much Jamee, we appreciate you being here 💌🥹 Plenty more videos to come!!
love this video. what's the bets you'll fall in love with the dog and he becomes a permanent member of the family?!
how much for the boat?
Lenny speaks pup! This is going to be a great experience for him, for you all, to have the pup to nurture back to good health. Looking forward to this adventure.
This will be very interesting, first time in a very long time you haven’t had help with the kids. So happy you will be out on the water where you belong. Good episode, thanks.
So are we! and yes should be interesting haha. Much love x
Looking forward to the videos!
Loved this video, and your new crew member!
So looking forward to this mono adventure! I hope the pup is doing well and hope you guys make it to Komodo!
Cheers Lucy 🥳🌅 We've been loving mono life.
Please contact me as soon as you can regarding Choochie. wayne@waynestinnett.com
“It’s epoxy! It makes pants stronger.” I’m still laughing! I love the care and attention. the boys are giving the dog. Calypte is gorgeous and it doesn’t seem crowded. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos on this vessel.
Loved this video. The dog is definitely a plus. Hope he likes the sailing life.
I love this boat! Exactly my style as well. We can tell this type of boat suits you all, as well. Everyone looks content and comfortable.
Oh my goodness that poor sweet pup. She looks like she’s having such a hard time. So glad y’all are nursing her back to health! Loved seeing Lenny’s compassion for her. What a kind hearted little guy. Please keep us updated on her road to recovery!
So sweet hey 🥹🥹 Lenny is adorable how much he loves her.
Have really been loving seeing you guys back on the water so much. “Wish you were here” ❤️
Loved this video! I hope the puppy makes a speedy recovery, poor thing! At least she gets to be loved on by Lenny and Darwin while she recovers 🥲
Loved it. The kids with the dog just melts me.
You guys are so brave!
Great to see your kids learning where you two started and type of boat you built this amazing life on. Good to be grateful!
Cool old boat, back to your roots. I like the pup too. 🐶 good for the boys! Have fun. 😊⛵
How goods that……… back on a small yacht and giving it a crack. Really great idea guys well done. Not really looking forward to the vid where the boys have to say goodbye to the dog 🐶 but will be really good for them have a dog for a while. Cant wait for next edition. Cheers
Must be so frustrating that the boat build is postponed yet again. You guys are great handeling these curve balls. Love the mono and the dog is a great addition! and I so loved this vlog!
I appreciate the beauty in this older boat, it reminds me of the all wood vintage boats made by Chris-Craft. I tried to paste a pic of one but most boat people know what they look like , beautiful workmanship!
Agreed Mike.
Well, kudos to you Elayna, for getting this beautiful preview of this sweet adventure out to us so quickly! You’ve packed Calypte full of life, provisions, gear, and anticipation and can’t wait to see what you get into. Definitely head to Kimodo Island but take your time and enjoy everything along the way.
Thanks Colleen 🥹 nawww. I guess we do a decent job at bringing life to any sailboat.. with 2 energetic little kiddos in tow and an insatiable desire to be constantly out in the elements xx
Hi Riley and Eleyna, sorry to hear about a further delay on the Tri. But its great to have friends willing to lend you their boat as a temporary home to feed your need for freedom. It will be interesting to see how xou adapt to the much smaller living space and the completely different boat characteristics from Adamas or Triballistic. Much more diesel stink to come in your future, Keep the episodes coming. Thanks for the work.
Thanks 🙏🏽 We're super grateful too, and it makes for some brilliant videos for you guys.. keeps us out of the cities and on the water. Much love xx
Great video. Where’s Mele?
So exciting! Love to see this! Gives me some flashbacks of hanging out on Forrest’ 31 foot Bellis! Nostalgia at its best! Can’t wait to see more!
I for one am looking forward to the upcoming videos Elay, you have a sweet voice. Please sing some more
