Packing up our boat! We’re going around the WORLD!?
Over the past few months, we've had the experience of a lifetime as we've navigated life onboard the beautiful 35ft monohull Calypte. Sadly, it's time for us to say goodbye to her as we're about to depart on a whole new adventure! (aka our world sailboat tour!! 🌎 ).
This week, Riley and Forrest are taking control of the episode as they sail Calypte back to meet myself and the boys in Lombok! What is seemingly a straight forward sail, soon turns into one of the most challenging situations both boys have ever faced onboard a sailboat...
We hope you enjoy this early (ad free) preview of our episode this week! As always, thank you so much for your support - we simply couldn't go on these types of adventures/make these episodes without you!
Love,
Elay, Riles, Lenny & Darwin

I loved this one! Very impressive work, Riley and Forrest!! Excited for your next adventure(s)!
I guess I don’t want to go sailing unless those two guys a captaining the boat! Man, you just don’t know what can happen!
Ripper vid as usual. Just awesome guys. 👍👍
Hey guys! I actually live near the spirit yacht headquarters in Suffolk if you’re coming by! On hand if you need a place to stay or local recommendations for activities and kids stuff ect! We have a traditional gaff rig boat moored half an hour away from sprit and have seen their amazing masterpieces often! Enjoy guys, safe journey! Ruby xx
So disappointed that I was unable to watch this one through. The weird footage angles (esp the rotating, zooming in and out ones) and frequent choppy cutaways are visually disorientating to me (have visually triggered migraines). I think even if it didn't cause me literal pain that I wouldn't find this style aesthetically pleasing but that's hard to know considering. Hoping this is a one off because am so looking forward to the upcoming boat tryouts.
You guys did a great job handling potentially dangerous situations. And note that even during a challenge, the universe has your back - the moon light that allowed you to see in the dark, the right amt. of wind to come in under sail, the two of you on board, not just a solo, etc. And the fact that Reilly is not daunted by any situation really! Way to go! I hope you are having a fab time on the other boats and in the UK!
Digging a big hole of Mind Blown!! Love it!!!
always amazed.
You guys are coming to the UK?! Awesome! Depending on how far ahead you are from your YT videos, we’ve been having beautiful weather here in the Solent! ⛵️ Hope you’ve been enjoying it/it stays for you if you’re yet to arrive 😌
OMG, judge you for flying the boys to land to play while the boat is hauled out? That was the ONLY move to make! Thanks for sharing the journey! Safe travels! ☮️🚐🐶❤️
Hey! Something that might be of interest to you if you’re over UK way- I’m living in Dingle, Ireland and there was a local man who just did The Golden Globe Race where they circumnavigate 30,000 nautical miles around the world NON STOP using boats & technology no more recent than 1968! Pat Lawless, the local man, was 2 months in when his boats steering malfunctioned and he had to call it but he wants to try again in 2026. It’d be incredibly interesting to see you do a movie with him all about circumnavigation before modern technology and maybe trying out his boat for yourself too! Would love to see your nerd cap on for that Riley. Also, there’d be a room for you guys in Dingle, and babysitting! 😁😏
🖤
Amazing. You guys are legends. FYI the comments are turned off on you YouTube channel. Not sure if it’s just me.
Bravo to Forrest and Riley! Very resourceful! Looking forward to the future episodes.
Riley and Forrest, that is some SERIOUS Type 2 fun lose propulsion, in the dark, strange port, windlass unreliable… solve the problem, rinse and repeat! legends!
Great episode guys, lovely boat... and a potential test bed for Loktite or competitor's product. A month's sailing without raising the main, that would be slightly problematical on my 4.3m cat!
What a fun adventure! Awesome vid - Cool how the two were able to pull all that off!
Loved watching Riley and Forrest in action. I'm not sure I would want to buy calypto
Can't wait for your next adventures!
Such a good “movie” as Riley calls them! You guys are rock stars in your creativity, thought processes and innovation! Looking forward to seeing all of your upcoming adventures!
Great episode. Riley and Forrest did a great job sailing and saving themselves and documenting it.
Loved this episode! So impressed you were able to sail in to anchor and figure out what was wrong and fix it.
Forrest- “Neutral?” Riley”Jesus Christ!” 😂😂LMAO Great job guys! Super excited for next week’s video and seeing you guys try out all your dream boats⛵️
Bravo handling Murphy’s Law! 😅 Not surprising though, Riley and Forrest are fantastic sailors, and I aspire to be as calm and confident a sailor when faced with those challenges. Bravo!
Great video, as always. And kudos on that anchorage. Night, crowded foreign port, unfamiliar vessel, and no power. What could possibly go wrong?
