Shakedown Cruise from Hell! (Everything broke, sick kids).

Hey Elayna why did you think it was a good idea to tell the boys that you ripped a sail? I'm wondering what the point was. Not trying to be mean just curious

grub screw. Nice video, not the pleasent sail you would have wished. Still it all worked out.

As you sail off into the blue yonder, it will be interesting to see what will shine and what you will have to modify, what a cool boat. Bon voyage!

I'm late to the party. If the grub screw doesn't kill you it makes the stronger. Glad you survived. 😊⛵️.

What a rough start. You guys are legends. Glad you had the company guys with you.

WOW that was tense just watching… another reason I admire you guys so much… you seldom let the difficulties that can bombard you, keep you from pushing thru and finding then strength to conquer what is thrown at you. By the way Darwin is a beautiful child!

Guys, I'm going to offer the following for each of you to do a course of https://healthworldforyou.com/product/parasite-cleanse/

So glad you are safe after that nutty sail!!! GRUB SCREW!! Get like 10 for back up!!! Thanks for sharing your journey. It's a great distraction. XOXO

Grub screw mate!

What a crazy welcome to your beautiful new boat. You really were put through the ringer. Elayna can you explain to me why you told the boys that you tore a sail? It just seems odd to tell them that out of nowhere. Just curious

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

Oh I know what it’s like to get water down the exhaust pipe into the engine not good hopefully it didn’t do too much damage to the rods, crankshaft, etc.. Looks like you have to pickle the motor completely drain the oil take out the injectors everything making sure there’s no seawater Left in the engine. Baptism by fire so sorry that you had such a bad shakedown cruise but also glad that the owners of the company was on board with you calm winds and following seas. Sending love from Southern California to you guys and love to Lenny and Darwin.

Wow what an awesome adventure!! First of all your wife and kids totally ROCK! I know that there were times that weren't pleasant but to survive all that excitement with a smile takes the cake! I totally agree that your reefing system should be Easy and Simple way too important. You have to get it to a point where Elaina could reef by herself. Anyway the video was great . Thanks for sharing.Cheers! "Grub Screw Grub Screw Grub Screw". Something here reminds me of the 'Shining'. LOL

loctite. One can never have enough loctite.

Yikes! That's some sailing screwed up grub you had to inhale on this one. I was shaking my head while watching this episode. Too many things went wrong from the beginning, but I am glad you had coms working and did not end up lost at sea with no engines, power or sails. I hope you had time to enjoy some time off and fix the boat issues. Have some beer and get some sleep! :) Cheers...

Holy hell, type two fun if I’ve ever seen it. Grubscrew! It’s one for the books and a solid testimony to your resilience. Happy you’re in port with the resources and support to get it all put back together.

This is why I love these guys. The good, the bad, the ugly. They aren't these "oh look how perfect my life is, I'm so happy" mindless social media zombies. Most would not show the problems, flaws, and other issues that need working out. I hope they never change. In a world where a lot is smoke and mirrors, these guys are a breath of fresh "ocean" air.

He’s a bit of a grubscrew. Did I use that in the right context? 🤣 Thanks for sharing all of that!

OMG.....What a passage! I both feel sorry for all the misery you went through, but also so impressed with that boat and the skills you have acquired over the last 9 years of sailing that made this passage possible despite the issues! When you first said you were moving to a trimaran, I had some quiet doubts. But that is just such an awesome boat, exquisitely beautiful both inside and out and able to handle such weather with aplomb! The speeds are amazing! This takes me back to your videos saying how it is better to sail away or around from storms like this rather than go through them with the speed you have. Ultimately, will be a much safer boat overall! Thanks for this video and looking forward to more of you getting familiar with this majestic sailing machine! Our very best to you!

Grubbbbbbb Screwwwwww!!!

Wow!

GrubScew ~ geese what a shake down . . . hard to watch! Glad you had a crew of 3 with you!! 💛💛💛💛

Grub Screw 😬😬

Loved meeting you guys at the book signing in Freo on Saturday! Great job on this video. Outstanding 👏🏻🙌

In many ways this was a great shakedown... you encountered so many things and worked through so much with the needed help. Riles, you nailed it... "Having options removed each day" such a great way to capture how you really learn how good you are. LOVELV3

What amazes me is how much the one side of the boat is out of the water! All the drone shots are awesome!

Grub screw for sure!! I'm mesmerized watching that magnificent yellow boat cut through the waves - gorgeous! AND the color was the perfect choice! Onward to calmer days!

yes, Grub screw looks like a large set screw! Loctite!

Grub screws in US are known as set screws and well known for not staying set.

Wow!! I’ve been rewatching some of your first episodes from 2015 this week and now this one! Insane how far you guys have come and so happy you’re taking us along for the ride!

Darn grub screw!! Well, the rig was definitely tested on this trip! Awesome boat!

Would love to hear Zam's thoughts while he was flying in the air! So glad you made it through. Thanks for all the wonderful camera work you were able to get.

What the hell is a Grubb Screw...Grubb Screw. This boat is absolutely amazing. So glad you had the extra help on board. the title is so perfect .. "Cruise from Hell". So, I asked a question a while back. You chose not to have a Bimini over the wheel. In a storm like this, I guess it would have been a waste as the weather was coming from the side. Can you address your thoughts on that at some point please.

Proper shakedown sail. Well done family to pull it all together and arrive composed(ish) and safe(ish). Access to all the land resources while on the water is a game changer. Not just people but diagrams, weather routing (we actually lost radar on a recent passage and used the regular Doppler Radar from our land based app to gauge developing squalls). Love your new adventure boat. Have fun storming the castle.

Got it .. GRUB SCREW .. HAHA !!!

grubscrew... like the jesus pin on the rotor boss on a helicopter (when that falls out, everybody just says jesus!!!) Elayna not sooking about mal de mar... Lenny and Harvey just loving another chance to spew in exotic places... you all spend my small offering very well. I thank you.

Grubscrew … added that to my vocabulary !!! That definitely looked like a hairy maiden voyage but so glad to see you stationery and happy at the end. LOVE the tiles and brass tap is gorgeous!!! Wonderful to finally see you on Magic Mango living your best lives ❤️

It was the GRUB SCREW! Every little bit is important! Very nice boat, great crew!

Grub screw lol Well fk that was interesting On reefing Your thoughts on single line reefing Is that the system you have?

Grub screw - it’s the small and simple things in life!

Aloha! Happy Holidays from Maui.

I love the look and feel of the new website. It’s better structured (more logically Riley!) to get to the good stuff easily. Congratulations and Merry Christmas 🎄⛵️ 🌲

Hi y’all!
