Dinner with A Dozen Stingrays!! Ep. 184

[@christophermcgarry3832]

Thanks!

[@Nick-hw4gd]

Seeing an Australian dealing with Stingrays gives me bad memories. RIP Steve

[@serchm7727]

Nick just don’t hat them that’s not what he would have wanted but happy birthday steve ;)

[@good_king_guitarman1334]

I felt the same. Staggering around the shallows with rays chasing food....i thought "Crikey, just stand still for a minute!"

[@johntatum1951]

Yep, I always think of Steve Irving when I see a sting ray...scary stuff.

[@darcyferrigno]

yeah but that was a freak accident. they are not dangerous, it is sad what happened to him though.

[@helloteddyable]

Same..sigh..miss him.

[@this-is-slammin-549]

Thank you for all the adventures you take us on!

[@thomasshaw4562]

Another wonderful video from the greatest sailing couple and channel on KZbin....keep up the good work....And I hope Riley is talking to the baby everynite as when the new captain is born he will recognize his fathers voice the minute he comes into this world..he's already hearing and listening to every sound mommy makes...both my daughters and I are just as close to each other as they are to their mommy...I believe its to the talking every nite to them and ending with the phrase...Daddy loves his baby girl.....love you guys and take care.

that shot of the yellow rain jacket in the green trees..... yes!

[@adbell3364]

You guys have an unmatched capacity to make the mundane very entertaining, with the shot and music selection all edited together into a wonderful package. It keeps us all coming back week after week. Thanks for what you do!

[@BluePlanetTube]

Nice editing Elayna. Nice everything about the both of you, your sweetest adventure, it's like all the wonderful I dream of. You inspire a beautiful world in sharing your love filled adventure. You two staring in your own short movies is fantastic and endless. I love to imagine a world that communes with wild life and creates beautiful families like you both do. I loved all your videos, thanks for sharing. "Fair Winds and Following Seas"

[@jamessuhr9667]

Watching this while locked down in the small city of New Plymouth.New Zealand.A retired sailor and fisherman myself both as a profeshonal and for fun,I salute you two for your efforts and wish you and yours all the very best.That is one hell of a cute kid .

[@rachelgrimm2758]

Congratulations on your 1 million! It has been amazing watching your family. Kenny needs a raise cause I'm pretty sure his adorable face helped! Thanks!

RIP Steve Irwin another great Aussie and educator, just like yourselves showing us all a different side to life. Cheers

[@brick8253]

I absolutely love Elena for this.... She could totally push something simple off after Riley achieves something like catching those lobsters... She absolutely could have just saild good job!!! and went off from there but yet asked about the fight, I feel like she truly wanted to know about it not just for the content.... The love they share for each other is just simply amazing.

[@mcgr3g]

The dinner at the desert beach reminded me of summer camping with the whole family on deserted beaches in Algarve, Portugal. High point of this episode for me!

[@josephmcdonagh8389]

Just discovered this channel. Diving, fishing, sailing and *water.* Absolutely perfect.

[@NebukedNezzer]

back in the 90's my wife and I got to snorkel at Pelican Cay sea park in the northern bahamas. stingrays etc. it was lovely. Its great to see you both having a good time in one of my very favorite parts of the world.

[@islandbirdw]

Say you two should consider heading to Fiji after you motor back to Australia some day. They speak the Queens English and they love children. We’ve traveled there and returned with our 2 y/o son Teddy as the Fijians have a love for children including and ESPECIALLY the men folks they call them “manny’s”. The reefs are spectacular not loved to death, and although they do get high surf and sailing conditions can be challenging (reefs grow up high in the water ) it’s a fantastic place! It’s lovely and where we stayed was off the beaten track so not too cheesy (aka touristy) so many islands to choose from. Another island you might love is Bonaire in the Dutch Antilles. Lovely sparsely populated dramatic island. It has become a protectorate of Holland roughly 7 years ago. Aruba and Curaçao voted to be independent. We loved the historic tiny town, known for the salt marshes, flocks of Caribbean flamingos & several rare subspecies of parrot. You can buy affordable provisions as they have a Dutch owned wholesaler like Costco in the states. We loved it as we had a kitchen and I was surprised how affordable and what variety they had there. Cheers 🍻 mate! The Dutch Antilles typically don’t get hurricane just tropical depressions rarely as they are so far south.

[@yeboscrebo4451]

Been watching on and off for years now. Riley you're a quality human being and a trustworthy captain! Elayna you do a fantastic job editing these videos. They always feel fresh and beautiful which I'm sure is difficult to do after so many of them.

[@Kileycobbusa]

Awesome vlog better than anything on Netflix or the nets. Thankful these guys are sharing their adventures for us as they live and travel our beautiful world!!

[@yvettedale8352]

Baby was going mad because you were stressed. Love your tans guys I'm so jealous. That hog fish was beautiful but I love the reefs & fish that hang around them. Baby is cooking well your positively glowing girl!! Love the boat & just love the adventures we get. OMG and the stingrays I'm just in heaven. Much love from the uk xx .

[@tcas146]

The colours in that forest! Amazing.

[@dmosher7]

Love what you guys do! The east coast of Canada is very warm in the summer. Prince Edward Island has great ports that are small and friendly.

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Wow that forest blew my mind. Incredible

[@ashleyseow6099]

I love you guys so much! y’all inspire me to live life to the full and u have taught me so much about how great of an adventure life is!! hope u continue to make videos!

[@ryanwoods2150]

Living in Florida its funny to have a really windy week with gusts and rain, and then see them experience the same weather!

[@Sail2spear]

I know how much work it takes to produce my videos and only publish once every month and you guys do it like three times a week... how do you manage such an amazing accomplishment and maintain the quality 👌

[@kp782]

[@petermyers479]

Hogfish and Lobster, I’m glad you’re both eating well for the baby. Awesome!

[@justinbinns3016]

I always feel refreshed when I see your videos, thanks for brightening up my day :)!

[@guitargeek80]

I have really been enjoying your videos since I discovered them about a week ago. Living vicariously through your adventures. I started at the beginning and am up to like episode 50, but jumped to this most recent one to see how you guys are doing. I am a boater, but only power boats and never on the open ocean. All the times I've been on the ocean I've had a huge cruise ship under me. Keep them coming! (P.S. Elayna looks a LOT like one of my nieces)

[@lowcountrydawg2525]

If you get back to Manjack Cay, follow the trails over to the Atlantic beach. It is absolutely stunning, and in my opinion the most beautiful spot in all of Abaco. The trail picks up right off of the beach on the north side of Rat Cay anchorage.

[@e_ederer]

That Harry Potter bit at 6:38 was gold, guys; stepped up the comedy game a notch! You are nailing it, congrats on creating an empire of your own!

[@cambonethewizard8146]

I remember when Riley was jut getting comfortable in front of the camera and it cool seeing him be natural in front of it. I also remember your 100k milestone. You’re over half a million now. It’s awesome congratulations!

[@rickchollett]

I absolutely love your channel! You two are living a dream!

[@jokerzwild106]

Wow, that was so cool swimming with the stingrays, and the lobster catch. Eating like kings and queens, for free. AWESOME!! Looked so delicious.

[@btbarrett1077]

Love how y'all have created your life. Thank you for sharing it! Ri, Bradda. The cheeks of the fish that you're catching are THE BEST. Gotta check it out mate.

[@bunyipdan]

Riley, just a helpful note....double up on the 50+ sun screen, to be sure it....will give you extra protection from harmful Rays....

[@clayz1]

A+ mate

[@sails3538]

Bunyip Dan ....Ooooooooo. ...

[@vk2ig]

Does it work for those gamma rays that live in the northern Mediterranean?

[@listay1]

It doesn't double the protections; just helps ensure you actually covered more of your skin.

[@vk2ig]

@@listay1 But it makes sure those harmful Rays don't get you ... use it at the ice rink too for protection against harmful Skates ...

[@SarahSmith-nr2wj]

These videos are so well put together and edited and the music is👌. I hadn't watched you guys 4 a few years and I can hardly believe how good these have become. Better that most professional editing in my view, and very artistic and witty and personal ❤️

[@elisanders7563]

The boat tour card is a very cleaver idea. Nice one Riley

[@lotusdolphin]

Great video. Riley made me extremely nervous with the stingrays. Steve was about as knowledgeable as they come and we all know how that turned out. RIP Steve. Give the Rey the damn fish!😂 you are an absolute legend at beer diving. Spear diving! I don’t know maybe you’re good at beer diving too😂😂😂 Love from California and please be careful🤟🏻💜😎🇺🇸

[@davidmcdaniel9921]

Wonderful perfect little video, thank you

[@Ozboyz60]

Stunning vision of the rays...thank you for taking us along.

[@thecubicalman1243]

I wish I could do the things you guys get to do every day! But since I can’t I’ll just explore the world through your guys videos!!! Love them keep up the good work!!!

[@Aenglish101]

Absolutely love your channel! Your videos get better with each new one that comes along! I honestly felt like I was right there feeding the stingrays with you!!!! And I actually watched that scene 3x before moving on. You are so inspirational! I love to eat healthfully but don’t always have the time or energy but I remind myself how tired you two must be with all the maintenance and jobs on the boat, not to mention Elayna’s pregnancy, and I tell myself to suck it up. I also love the simplicity of the foods you eat but somehow make it look “restaurant quality”, in the words of Riley! I’m always amazed at the little effort it takes me to whip up something fresh, tasty, and healthy (the key is it takes more effort than opening a box and adding water, but not much more effort, and it’s so worth it!) I LOVE that Riley mentions that feeding the sting rays is something you two would do with the baby. It’s great you’re thinking ahead and I cannot wait to watch you fit Lenny into this alternative lifestyle. I’m so grateful for being able to live vicariously through you. I hope you keep doing what you’re doing and taking the rest of us along with you! Cheers!

[@paulfollis5689]

No worries about Canadian bears, they're all hibernating right now, and besides, they're probably all subscribers or patrons if they're smart bears! Love your videos up here in Canada, they sure give us a lift when we view them after being outside in the cold and snow.

Thanks you two! I know how much work it takes to produce these. Love your life!

Careful mate!! Stingy’s can be a bit deadly. RIP to the great Steve Irwin

It the rays came to them, they should be fine.

[@ralphholiman7401]

Love seeing you guys in the Bahamas, our favorite cruising ground!

[@rachelp.4160]

What lovely content you guys always put out! Loved this episode, the forest there does slightly resemble our coniferous forests here in Ontario. I don't know jack shit about sailing, but if you guys can, it'd be really cool to come and check out East Coast Canada, (Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island), lovely people, comfortable weather in the summer, not too hot! And overall a beautiful, safe, culturally and historically rich place to check out, and great for little Lenny. You would get along with us canucks! I am just so enjoying this journey and allowing you guys to inspire me. I'm so excited to see Lenny on the videos but please take your time, and do what is best for you. Cheers guys, happy sailing!

[@OkeeeDokey]

I watched you all so long today! I got up to brush my teeth and I felt like I was on the boat with you as I expected the house to move like a boat! LOL

[@jarrodosullvan3237]

Welcome to the Caribbean, theyre called polypores and those are known as sand spurs, its gonna itch lol, citrus pine smells great!

[@jimmarshall5453]

The smaller lobster was far too small to take, legally or otherwise. I'm so glad you are having a wonderful time in the Bahamas.

[@BillB23]

When anchored on sand in the Bahamas, the way to clean your dishes is to toss them overboard and retrieve them in the morning. Rinse with fresh water and dry.

Riley you gotta teach me how to sail!!! Lol

[@afraization]

Our favorite anchorage, glad it was good for you guys! See you're in StA, we're here as well and have a car if you guys need anything. It's our home port.

[@coolhandluke9631]

I like the silence after a snow storm!!

[@bunyipdan]

Elayna, the "tree mushrooms" are called Polypores, bracket fungi, more common names are horse hoof fungi, conks and amardou....fun fact some of the woodier species can be very useful for tinder (not that Tinder), when using primitive fire lighting techniques they catch a spark very well. Also I think "bears dropping on you" is more of an Aussie thing. Love your work, cheers

[@paulreynolds7096]

Man jack (pronounced “Mon-Jack” by the locals) is great and I had my 3 kids there last June doing the same things. Great spot. Did you not see any of the turtles or enormous Nurse sharks that hang there too? They are all like pets. Can’t wait to hear about Green Turtle cay... it’s one of our favorites. You are living the dream

The pine forest that had an odd familiarity for you was because they are Australian pine an invasive species brought to this area as a good wind-break in the late 1800's. They are common also in New Zeeland.

[@annakeye]

Wildling pines are a scourge here in New Zealand. They're forcing out the native species of punga, manuka and countless others in the Marlborough Sounds and have invaded the centre of South Island high country grasslands. Not good for our native fauna either.

[@davidascher7927]

@@annakeye In Hawaii we call them Iron Woods and they gunk up the place here as well. Interestingly, they are not even a pine tree.

The prickly things in your foot we call sand spurs. They are well known in Florida coastal regions. If you lick your fingers when you pull them out they will be less likely to pierce your fingers. I'm a Florida native so very familiar with them. Happy sails to y'all. Batman
