Hi....Bravo your life !!! Have a nice day !!!! Thank you.

[@DevilFrog61]

Y’all give me so much hope for life man. I’m in the military and getting out, there doesn’t seem to be a clear adventure or purpose out in the civilian world but SAILING is a big part of that and thanks for sharing all you guys do!

[@tammy6992]

Best episode ever💚💚💚💚

Did any one notice the anti Greenpeace, pro fossil fool, pro nuclear, trolls hitting the comments all about the same time. No coincidence, Woodside are in panic mode $$$$$$$😂😂😂

[@MrFlyingscot75]

Hey Riley I worked 6 years in Offshore when I was a nipper. Lost more than 20 of my colleagues in just one accident, on a barge BOS355 piling offshore Zaire went through a 8” HP line. The gas got to the surface and the resulting explosion was devastating. I wasn’t there I helped the guys at the burn units but I saw pictures, the heat was so intense the anchor melted and welded to the deck! Nothing is foolproof I’d hate to see the damage that could be done to that beautiful region even without accidents. Thanks mate for you and your family. You guys rock.

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

So sorry to hear that mate. I never lost anyone whilst at work but it was always a worry. Certainly there were things we did that I wouldn’t do now.

[@sandymackenzie8413]

SLV. I have folowed and loved your channel for many years without thinking anything bad about either of you or your kids. Your last episode with green piece opened my eyes to your hyproxity.. How many times have you gone to a beach and lit a large fire to cook food and look at a loaded fire of wood that eminates a large amount of heat, smoke and light to make you both feel good in your surroundings? Could you have cooked your food on a small fire to help save the environment? No hipocracy please. Maybe you will feel a backlash.

This was an incredibly good episode. It’s heartwarming to see people who live their lives on the shoulders of our natural world, step up to fight for it. Not all hikers, wilderness van lifers or back road world travelers, are courageous enough to tell the powerful forces who put fortunes over the future, “listen, we have to do better.” This one felt really good. ✌🏼

[@veronicafeliciano6585]

I cried when Riley dove down to the reef. What a beautiful site to see. Growing up in the Caribbean, it reminded me how it all used to look back in the day. It’s all dead now and it’s truly heartbreaking. Thank both for taking us on this journey with Greenpeace. Truly a fantastic video!

[@muravi8167]

Its not dead.

[@racerex340]

​@@muravi8167when is the last time you've dove on any if the world's largest reef spots? Most of the renowned dive sites from 30 years ago are bleached out barren wastelands, including much of the GBR. Do you think people are making this stuff up? Like NASA faking tge moon landings and the earth secretly being flat? 😮

[@maverickmyrtlebeach]

Lionfish are one of the causes in caribbean areas that have destroyed ecosystems. That's all it takes to knock out the balance. Look up lionfish, sharks and find depletion of life under & on land..

[@anibaldamiao]

Why is it dead?

[@veronicafeliciano6585]

My apologies. You are both correct. It is not dead. But the amount of fish and coral that used to live and thrive in the Caribbean has drastically diminished and some even fully disappeared.

[@sharonspringer1864]

My dad was a scuba instructor in the 60's ,70's. And has five all over the world. I was able to accompany him many times. The reefs all used to be so colorful and alive! Thank you for making people that may not know aware Thank you Greenpeace!

Worked aboard this ship for more than 10 precious years before heading out and starting my own NGO, still working on the same cause in a smaller scale. But the crew members on board will forever be family...

Thank you so much for sharing Green Peace's mission. Such a great sincere hard working organization. Amazing ship! and crew. Praying for success on their mission. Praying for our Earth. Always love seeing the family. Please do not be too embarrassed with the kiddos. Kids will be kids and we have all been through it. Beautiful family. Love you guys. Look forward to your adventures.

[@KarianHale]

Free diving the Great Barrier Reef for the first time this year, it was so wonderful to see the health and life in Scott’s reef. Thank you for sharing and tell us what we can do to stop drilling in this area. We have all the sun, water and wind (plus current oil field in use) we need for energy on this planet already. Thank you for bringing purpose, love of the sea and life in each of your videos.

[@sheaross3124]

I love those subtle interruptions, the planes flying over, the kids being rambunctious in the background, The fact that you leave it all in the final edit with such an artistic tasteful quality makes everything so much more real, and allows me to connect more with two friends I've never met before. I really appreciate what you guys are doing. you are, both of you beautiful people And I genuinely hope one day to meet you both even if it's just to say hi... Got me considering joining Greenpeace now all of a sudden just to get closer to that sunset hope you folks have a great day god bless you and less love from Kansas City USA... Happy 4th of July lol

Poo on the floor is standard when you have young kids. Having been a nanny for several years for multiple different families with young children I can tell you everything you are experiencing is totally normal! I hope to be as lucky as you and Riley someday and have a beautiful, lively family of my own one day. Cherish every moment even the hard ones ❤

[@sofiesofalle6172]

I think it's so awesome that you guys made this video and took this journey! I am pleased that you are using your reach for such an enormously important topic and I hope that this message will continue to flow into your videos! Because everyday life becomes political when we see the small in the big context! And that includes beeing economical for a better world. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart and am really happy about your channel and your videos! Love, Sofie

Thank you, Riley, Aleana and Greenpeace, for taking us along. The underwater rover let us feel like we were right there with you. Amazing I hope their presence will give Woodside cause to rethink their plans. We have to protect those reefs, not put them and the Wildlife that depend on them at RISK.

Phenomenal experience...... thanks for bringing us along .....this work Greenpeace does is so important you can't say enough of their worth to the betterment of the oceans.....this needs to be put in front of people's faces much more often...... Bravo guys

[@SS-qo4xe]

I hope people think twice before leaving a comment. These folks are doing such important work with very full hearts for the project(s). All are living GOOD lives.

[@MarSmiles]

As we go through our life there are so many things we just don't know or truly understand, but once we Know Better then we need to Do Better. This pertains to every aspect of our life, from being a child, a friend, an employee, a partner, a spouse, a lover, a parent, a leader and a steward of this earth. We can't get comfortable with willful ignorance. Thank You for taking us on this amazing journey with you. I paused the video and read everything that was written. The statements Woodside issued and the truth are worlds apart. I feel privileged to sign the petition. Thank You Greenpeace for taking a stand!!

[@robertfultz5481]

This is not only a Beautiful and entertaining video but educational and inspiring. The earth needs all of us to change and stand up for the earth. In the late 70s I worked for the Vineyard Commission and helped establish the first county wide oil spill response plan and team. What I learned while researching spills at the WHOI library is that spills will happen at drill sites. It's just a matter of time. And time is of the essence in responding to a spill if environmental damage is to be limited. Damage can't be prevented. How do you respond quickly and effectively 250 miles from shore? You can't. Save Scott's Reef. No exploration or drilling. Also personally switch to electric cooking with alternative energy. Cheers and thanks again.

[@coleengoodell7523]

On another note. One of the best parenting books that I read and one that made a major difference from the get go was STEP. Systematic Training for Effective Parenting. Not sure if it's even available these days. One of the best tips I learned and not only worked great for my children, but also my grandchildren is the phrase, "We don't......". Not, don't applying it directly to the child, such as don't hit your brother, don't touch this or that, don't whatever. It was "We don't touch things that don't belong to us", "We don't hit each other in this family", "We don't go outside without asking permission". Kids respond super well to house rules and it also doesn't target them on a personal level that they will often challenge. Hang in there, they do grow up and become much more reasonable. Children of course need parental guidance and sometimes discipline, what you feel appropriate with the children entrusted to you. Children actually thrive in an environment with set rules and set consequences. Think of how your favorite teachers had control over the classroom and was fair in how the rules were enforced. You learned best and enjoyed the environment they created in their classroom.

Such an incredible video folks. You guys play such an important role in sharing/communicating the importance of a healthy ocean and why we need to halt these huge damaging projects, so it’s great to see you’ve teamed with Greenpeace to help share what they are doing, and get people onboard to support them. We actually saw the rainbow warrior anchored off the shore when we were in Exmouth, what an awesome boat.

Please do more of this kind of content. Love you guys!

[@shakenbake4971]

You all are very blessed to have such a wonderful experience. I totally get being stressed about how the boys are behaving. I've been on both sides with 4. I'm guessing the members of the ship may not have little ones on board often. Therefore, most will be fine and probably enjoy seeing 1st hand why they are doing what they do. For the future of course. Can't wait for your boat to be done. And to see that tour. Hugs to all take care 😊🤍

[@youtooaromatherapyyoga2991]

Amazing! Just signed the petition. I’ve been a member of Greenpeace on and off for decades and campaigning for some semblance of sanity when it comes to oil usage and excavation for decades as well. Insane what humans are doing to our beautiful planet. I feel so very sorry for our children and grandchildren to come 😢

[@wb5jysman]

I've worked on rigs for 18 years this year. I've worked offshore in the Gulf of Mexico for 11 years on ships. I completely agree with yall. When I think of Australia, I think of kangaroos and coral reefs. We already know that the coral is dying all around the world. We should fight to save what little we have left. I understand that the project creates jobs and income, but we really need to start thinking about our oceans.

[@jadejohns3107]

Can’t believe I nearly didn’t watch this, you guys are legends. Thanks! This episode is my favourite sailing vlog of 2023.

[@tdevinetampa]

My carbon footprint is the size of Al Gores pool house yet his jet burns thousand of gallons at 30,00 feet. The Rainbow saves poop to be processed on land yet burns the dirtiest fuel for motor and generators. The environmentalists have forced drilling off shore. There is millions of gallons of oil without risk of spills. Good job!

[@cherylsibson2529]

I've seen the coral reef about 15 yrs ago, so beautiful back then, I cannot imagine what they plan on doing! Happy Canada Day, to equate fires on a beach which is heavily monitored by Riley and Elaina, to the heavy-handed oil industry piles in comparison to the actual pollution that Canada is experiencing 8 million hectares of forest fire damage that is being faced on Canadian Land almost yearly due to Climate Change, and it's not expected to rain until nearly October. We do live on One World. What happens in one part of the world, other factors are affected. We are aware that different parts of the US have complained about the smoke. Given the limited capacity to handle massive fires, we are doing what we can, and are thankful for Australians, south African, Ukrainian, and many countries who came to help us in Canada. The firefighters do make a huge difference, so thank you from Canada.

[@KM00Youtube]

Thank you for taking the time to enlighten us all about the reality of the oceans. As you said, we will not be without anything if they don't move forward with the project, so for the sake of protecting ocean life, why not refrain, Woodside? 🥰😎

Thank you for using your platform to try to make the world a better place.

I particularly liked that you addressed that everyone has their own footprint, and shouldn’t be branded as a hypocrite for trying to make a difference at the higher level. It is the systems and decision makers who we should scrutinise, not individuals who often haven extremely difficult decisions to make when balancing their financial, health and social well-being vs their environmental impact. Thanks guys!!!

[@jasonpacific5661]

Thank you Riley and Elayna 🐋 🌊 I've dedicated most my life to ocean renewal. With sincere awareness and action we can end illegal fishing, protect Big BrainHeart ocean mammals, stop waste dumping and more. And yes nobody or organization is perfect! And I expect most of the critics aren't dedicated to a valuable cause. If they were - they wouldn't have the desire to find fault in people doing the best they can to help.

[@bc5430]

I'm just discovering your channel. Enjoying the down-to-earth nature of it, your willingness to share your family with us, and the sharing of your knowledge and experience. It's not a big dream but I'd like to get my own family of four and a hound out on the water as well. Pretty far from it now living in the Central Valley of California. It was sad to hear the bleaching of the coral was, in your experience, common and global. I've found the same. I remember snorkeling as a teenager in Hawaii, sometime in the mid 90's, and the coral was alive and magical. Here's to restoring nature to its diverse splendor for our children. Thank you.

[@jimbetzing3587]

What a beautiful location! Videography was spot on. Thanks guys for taking us along! It's very important to have a balance between industry and the environment. Unchecked, the nature of "man" is to develop and exploit, yet, we also need to be aware of the needs of the peoples of the world. Organizations like Greenpeace help to keep things in balance but, I think we all as individuals need to do our part for conservation as well. My 2 cents.

[@Chambrs]

That was a very important piece of reef and with you and Greenpeace highlighting the potential devastation there it has to get as much publicity as you can give it, One thing I think would help, guys, if you could put a little more context in the support of a reef like Scotts Reef is what it does or adds to the whole biodiversity of the marine life. You mentioned the pygmy blue whales and giant turtles and there will be a whole food chain that all living creatures there survive on. Highlight that and what that means when its all gone and the reef is bleached white and is a wasteland underwater - how does that impact all of the sea life. You have the soapbox and the audience go for it.

[@Vulcandream]

I'm so very happy that you spent time with Greenpeace! These amazing people have done so much to raise awareness of our threatened and declining seas and your participation with them helped further raise that awareness. Disregard the naysayers! You made the right decision and I appreciate you all the more for what you have done!!

[@Sicaoisdead]

Simply the best channel on KZbin. There should never be any guilt whatsoever from you guys, nobody can live a totally perfect green life. What you're doing is introducing issues like this to people who are none the wiser. You provide entertainment and education. I've learn a great deal from Elayna and Riley along the way. Your videos are making a real difference and bringing awareness to matters like this. It's great.

[@jenfisher-bradley2623]

You guys rock. Thanks for being yourselves and sharing your journey with us. We have many favourite episodes, this one is definitely up there. Our planet is heating up, Canada, my home, is burning up. It is the right thing to do to stand against this development. We have offended Gaia enough. Your children are beautiful, and a handful, thanks for letting them be themselves too.

[@sandymackenzie8413]

Look at what they say

[@dianastevens9156]

Amazing episode. Elayna, I love how you summed it up that our inconvenience if the Woodside project is stopped is so minimal compared to the damage that could occur to the ocean. And in fact, if the destruction of the oceans doesn’t stop we will be more than inconvenienced. However, I am empathetic to the fact that I made a good living from the oil patch and others far less fortunate than I might see this and other such projects as their only chance of a better life. We have to find a way to provide more sustainable environmentally friendly employment options for everyone along side shutting down projects like this. When people are in short term survival mode they don’t have the option of worrying about the long term effects on the planet.

[@patricklovell6118]

One of my favorite videos you two have done and I’ve loved them all so far! 💚

Elayna and Riley, I generally don’t read many of the comments; but, for this episode, I did scan through and was amazed by the amount of vitriolic commentary. So sad, that so many need to pass on their hate; rather than comment nicely, sharing the rationale for their viewpoint. Only with true, respectful, dialogue, can we begin to understand, and perhaps learn, from others with different ideas and perspectives. You guys are the best and thanks for sharing with us.

Woodside climate deniers are desperate. They are lashing out, some have hacksaws 💚💚💚

Could you tell the other side of the story too! I'm a biologist, but what new drilling technology's are available to mitigate the, "what if's" might help a person decide if they are against or for the drilling?

[@malcolmrickarby2313]

Answers to some of the “what if’s “. If they test and find nothing? Then they will cause damage to a stressed ecosystem that is irreplaceable. If they find gas or oil? Then they will cause damage to a stressed ecosystem that is irreplaceable . 🤷‍♂️🌏

I think this was your most beautiful underwater footage ever. And I have seen every single SLV video.

The kids are very cute and "normal" . I am sure all kids are naughty at times. No one else seemed to notice but you. I am sure at least Lenny will remember this time. What a privilege. Great episode, well worth the wait. Also love the females in key positions.
