As I say in the video, easy to brush this off but really it was a huge error. I’m trying to highlight this for everyone to learn from and also for myself in order to maintain a high level of vigilance as the years wear on.
Something so small can end up putting the lives of the crew in danger. Well it did, I guess. Anyway watch the vid and let me know what you think.
Cheers, Riley.

[@enderdragoon]

Coming from a world of aviation, being a helicopter pilot, the growing risk you get with more experience over time is complacency. We refer to it as "maintaining a state of hyper-vigilance" while operating an aircraft, because the margins for error can get squeaky thin and the forgiveness of any mistakes in the sky is always 0. Life will find moments to throw at you, to help you check your level of complacency and those experiences are a chance to pivot in one of 2 directions: Denial and eventual death OR acceptance, vulnerability, internalization and constructive re-evaluation to get back into a state of effective hyper-vigilance. Because you never know if your mental state is working until it suddenly isn't. Sharing with the world the mistakes and errors we all make as humans, helps yourself and all of us conduct ourselves better. The FAA has a site where any pilot can go and describe the mistakes they made and it absolves them of almost all consequence (usually things that just remove your pilot cert) because the world of aviation knows that sharing the mistakes is how we avoid repeating them and growing better as an institution. I thank you sir, for your vulnerability and determination to remain vigilant.

[@labradore99]

How do you create a set of mental habits that will enable vigilance? I know for myself that while I drive safely while holding a conversation, I often can't navigate while speaking. Obviously, sailing is a somewhat different matter because the rate of decision making will hopefully be lower than while driving, but the weather is constantly changing and there are always items to be managed, trimmed, monitored, etc.

[@davidwhite6617]

All of this just says we are human, you cant keep beating yourself up over something. Maturity comes with realizing your mistakes amd moving on. Quiting is not an option. Or it can be, the choice is yours. You and only you can live with your decision!

@johnnytheprick Someone didn’t listen, it wasn’t the rock that was the problem. Try again.

[@pamsheppard7998]

I disagree (And so does Riley whuxh is why. He understands the consequences of his inattention and is lucky it didn’t end in disaster). He’s the captain - an error like that one is criminal. His role is exactly the same as an airplane pilot’s. Not sure you’d tell an airplane pilot to not worry.

[@maaikevanoosterom]

@johnnytheprick Laughter and trying to ridicule me to deflect attention from your own mistake does not change the fact that you were wrong about the real cause of Riley’s anger with himself and how close they came to danger. Watch the video again and see if you can find it. Hint: It’s below the water.

[@tomriley5790]

@@pamsheppard7998 airline pilots make mistakes all the time - that's why there's systems in place to minimise the consequcneces - ATC, copilot, clear division of roles, TCAS, no-fault incident reporting. The point is to minimise the consequences of mistakes and learn from them.

@johnnytheprick Riley talks about this subject, specifically, often. He and Elayna have shown their fights - her seasickness - him almost breaking his neck & many many more "real" moments because it's something they're passionate about. They don't want to be 'influencers' who only show positive moments bc they hate how unrealistic that is. PS. It's "you're"

[@Shabba11111]

Hi Riley, I can relate to the stress being responsible for the safety of the people onboard and the boat. I once hit a rock in my home waters which I was supposed to know so well. It was a horrible feeling although nobody got hurt and the boat just needed minor repairs. The feeling tho still gets me and I was so angry with myself as I was too sure about my knowledge of where I was. It did get better with time and a near miss like in your case is perhaps a good reminder of the risks. Good job analysing it!

[@Kim-up5zw]

I think I got more emotional about Sarah leaving the boat, she's amazing how she slotted in so well, cooked super meals, and the kids loved her. Hope to see you back again one day Sarah. Love from down under. Katoomba NSW (come visit, you're very welcome), no kids, but dog and cat!!

[@jaypeters1063]

Thank you so much for going public with this episode. After 11 years cruising USA East Coast and the Bahamas, this year coming into a dock with friends aboard and a group trying to raise a sunken dingy on the end of the dock, I lost concentration and came in way way too fast and at the wrong angle. I hit the dock hard enough to put an ugly gouge in our newly painted topsides to and jostle those aboard. I was gutted by how negligent I was. I am now hyper-vigilant to times when I am distracted from that paramount duty of safety, seamanship, and good boat handling. Thanks again for reminding all of us of the importance of diligence -- especially when having fun with family and friends.

Every mistake is an opportunity to improve and learn. 20 years from now you will screw up. This is the nature of the game. You NEVER stop learning in the ocean that’s why it’s so fun and interesting.
