Hey Riley, my brother works in Los Angeles in TV and is constantly working with producers and other colleagues in that industry. If you’d like, I can put you two in touch and I’m sure he can help answer any questions you may have! Great to see you guys having a blast with the family, cheers!

Hello from San Diego, CA. Because of you two I learned to sail, bought the sailboat I have lived on for nearly two years, have sailed it close to 3000 miles up and down California's coast and islands, nearly always anchor vs stay in marinas, and I leave for Mexico and beyond for an unknown number of years after hurricane season ends this Fall. You continue to teach a guy old enough to be your father, and are still the best. So happy for your continued success in all things, especially your relationship and family. All the best. TvZ

No, Bahama to the US???) crossing, what a wonderful people Riley was growing up with…and I totally get it why Riley is such a fine, well rounded, yet curious minded, wise and loving person.
