I love this vlog as all your videos ❤ and Elayna, I love your natural hair color, it really matches you, makes you perfect !

[@JudyAnnLaboy]

I loved the video!😊😊😊😊😊

[@StandTallStudios]

@24:50 Riley starts hearing "All that and more" by Rainbow Kitten Suprise.

[@cliffdavis5244]

@@MrThomasandersen Never ever comment a woman on her hair color before it was that is now!

[@MrThomasandersen]

@@cliffdavis5244 what are you talking about man? Of course I should, haven’t you ever been married? Women love to hear about their choices of their hair in a positive way. I never uttered that her previous hair colors wasn’t beautiful.

[@nicoleayienga593]

Here's an unsolicited idea for Darwin. One of the major contributing factors at that age is that their brain knows what it wants (sometimes) but their language hasn't caught up. Using pictures can provide them with an opportunity to tell you what they want. Pick ones that are specific to Darwin like a favorite book or food. Take photos and just upload them to a doc (use about 6 photos to start) that you can show him when he's winding up. Hope it helps. You're both really intuitive parents. You're doing a great job. You got this!!

[@lzmash3]

I absolutely love when Elayna laughs so hard telling stories😂

[@NZKiwi87]

She’s joyous, always makes me smile 😊

[@galenhammond-x4j]

I remember twice when she was really stoned and laughing so hard. One was the fish head stew or soup episode and the other was when there was a boat with the same name as some ax murderer or something and they mention Garret Brown? on the news I think.

[@galenhammond-x4j]

Bingo! Found em. My two favorite moments. Episode 204 starting at 14:30 and episode 145 starting at 14:45. Look at those bites Riley is taking and listen to that inane conversation and tell me something wasn't smoked. 🙂

[@galenhammond-x4j]

Eventually I'll get it right!! Episode 204 start at 6:05. Sorry.

[@ronzander7648]

I totally agree, seeing Elayna laugh uncontrollably is really fun to see and it's good to see someone experience that level of joy, so good. Laughter is good medicine.

[@ThePrevo02]

Just pausing the video here for a second. Can I say how much I appreciate the visuals here for a bit, this is definitely full screen viewing material. You guys have grown into such accomplished filmmakers.

[@georgeburn961]

here here! Really good use of zoom cuts if that's what you call them;

[@chrispy104k]

Absolutely agree. From when I started watching this channel the quality of the story telling has grown from strength to strength. The incidental footage spliced in with great accompanying music makes the flow interesting and engaging. Well done Elayna and Riley.

[@ginacgarza]

Oh Darwin, I'm the 2nd born too! We are a little more wild and unsettled and may I say... crazy. It's just the way of the world and its okay because in the long run... we are usually the most adventurous and exciting !! All hail the second borns!! Ahhhh!!!

[@jenniferrowley1308]

Oh yeah, we gotta stick together!

[@OttawaAndy]

OMG my second-born almost did me in. She's an awesome adult but holy crap.

[@Gigi-44-]

This is So True!!! Hilariously True!!!

[@MichaelGroenendijk]

As a second burn i say good luck with medium 😅🤣

[@alisonnewall1748]

I have no idea if it’s first or second horns. Both my kids had tantrums. Essentially overwhelmed by their emotions. With my oldest, I could wait until a crowd gathered then point out that he had an audience. Like a lamb, Dave would stand up and walk away to deal with it in private. Ed, 3 years younger, would throw himself down at an intersection in downtown Montreal (middle of intersection during rush hour). I’d have to pick him up and place him on the sidewalk when he got there. The audience never bothered him. He’s now an actor.

[@richb313]

Loved the way the factory workers and towns people interacted with Lenny and Darwin and how you also gave a real glimpse of life aboard while sailing and honest evaluation.

[@EugeniaSoares]

Oh Elaina. My kids now are 18 and 16. But on their 2's, I learned an amazing tecnique that all parents should know. First of all, we need to be patient and as soon they start yelling and kicking, we have to stop, seat down with them in our arms and let them know that we are doing this to help them to calm down. So: it's kind of a time out in your arms, not moving. It's hard for the first days. Than the magic happens. They understand that if they start the kicking and yelling, they'll be in your arms. It's really a big challenge for us parents, but it works. We help them to learn how to control their emotions and to realize that yelling and going crazy doesn't resolve their problems or need. A nurse that was well know as "The baby whisperer", Tracy Hogg. Unfortunetely she past away years ago, but her book is amazing. You can get it on Amazon. The Baby whisperer. There's a whole section for toddlers. And I believe you can still find her videos here on KZbin.

[@mskayaker]

I am disappointed as well that being in Plymouth I could not just get a sight of you & the family. I too have followed you from the start because you have shared with us all the episodes of your life. One thing was clear is your joy & excitement to be with Daz & our area.

[@steventrostle1825]

One of the "great joys" of growing old is being able to watch and laugh at children (and their parents) going through the terrible twos! As always thanks for sharing.

[@iesbiza]

Every time Elayna laughs this hard I cannot stop laughing and crying with her. Thank you for sharing the laughs, your sweet boys and keeping dreams alive!

[@ianbasson8367]

Nice to see you all enjoying yourselves in the UK. As for the sea being cold, I seem to remember someone doing a backflip into the chilly artic ocean a while back.

[@DanandRow]

GREAT to see you guys have visited the UK 🇬🇧 recently! We’ve watched you travel all over the world, LOVE the idea that you were just down the road!! ❤

[@CadohaAdventures]

The Dazcat team are great aren’t they! We were lucky enough to also experience Hissy Fit (and Daz’s house) last year. Beautiful boats and it was so wonderful to see you sailing some of our favourite spots! Saw Rich came to visit you guys in the Yealm too 👌🏼

[@simonbevan-davies5051]

Hey Cadoha, SLV need some guides to help find all of the hidden delights that the South Coast has to offer....😉

[@coleengoodell7523]

What a stunning place with wonderful people. So glad you were able to spend some time in a super kid friendly situation with other parents of young children. Especially since Darwin is going through a phase. Looks like you're handling it well, keeping him safe and maintaining your sanity. Stay safe and God bless always.

[@larrimos]

I love when Elayna gets tickled and she can’t stop giggling. It’s contagious. Thanks so much for the entertainment and a good laugh.😊

[@finntrew9184]

I move back to Cornwall next week after a painful two years away, and this video has gotten me so excited!! Finally getting to helm a boat again will be the cherry on top, thanks guys for reminding me how much I love my little corner of the world and glad you loved it as much as I do ❤

[@DazcatCatamarans]

It was great to meet and spend some time with you all. Love the video and happy to see that Cornwall and our Dazcats worked their 'love life' magic and you were able to relax, enjoy and giggle...You're welcome back anytime if you need more of that. We might even show you how to turn on the inverter for on-demand hot water and heating, which here in the UK usually gets a whole lot more use than the fan 😂! Enjoy your new boat, happy adventures and we hope to see you back in the UK at some point for some more exploration of our stunning sailing grounds.

[@mskayaker]

I kayak locally & have been up the creek several times but didn't realise the great site you had tucked away. What a lot of people are commentating on is how happy & relaxed A & R were in your company. You & your family were brilliant. Well done Daz.

[@johnhuson7055]

Absolutely hands down my favourite video from you guys! I've been a subscriber for a couple of years and enjoyed all of your videos. To find out you were in the UK and then to discover the boat you were sailing was based in Millbrook was exciting. Then to go on see shots of so many familiar places, in particular the shots from Cawsand brought back so many memories. For probably getting on for a decade I went on holiday to this area as a kid with my family (sometimes twice a year) and stayed at Fort Picklecombe every time. You can see Fort Picklecombe in the background of several of your shots from Cawsand. It brought back so many happy memories for me as a kid and to see you guys enjoy the place as much was just perfection. My advice, cancel your Rapido order and get yourselves a Dazcat! 😁 P.S. Give the cool UK waters a go, it's so refreshing once you get in you can't fail to enjoy it! Some of us swim in it all year round and at the minute the water temperature is positively tropical to us.

[@joefish41]

That was one of my fav videos for a while. As an Englishmen it made me very proud to hear and see you be so complimentary of the views and countryside. That boat looked fantastic too!

[@elizabethharttley4073]

What a gorgeous video in a beautiful part of the world. These folks are good to and for each other. Elayne, poor Darwin is testing who he is and what you tolerate. He's weaned finally cause you said so. He's trying to keep up with his brother and can't quite do it. Both of you were at wits end for a bit with Len, I remember that time. Little darling is changing timezones and doing what he can with what he has. We all have stress sometimes. Peace and love to you all.❤

[@d1grizz]

You guys have the amazing talent of making me smile through entire videos. Like a great movie, I get lost in them. Thank you so much. That stuff doesn't grow on trees. Everything about this episode was "legendary".

[@earlsnapp5209]

So grateful to be a long time subscriber... Don't comment as often as I should... Heck I've watched Two aussie's a couple... become a family of four. Been along for this journey. I thank you Riley and Alana.... Hope I didn't misspell Alana. Your the first sailing channel I looked at after my Father passed away, and no more sailing for me. Our family sailed together, more often no one wanted to sail more then me. I joined the Marine Corp after high school, and sailing almost stopped entirely. I came home on leave just to be with my father on our family catilina 15 meters or so can't remember the exact length of her. Mono hull...Anyways , I'm thankful for you all... Riley, Lenny, Darwin and Alana.. Sorry, just thinking about my math... The Catalina I Think was 12.8 meters/42 ft. Peace

[@mikevernon7121]

One of your very best videos. Glad to see you all enjoying the sailing, people, food and the place. Can’t wait for next week

[@newnage8614]

I’ve been following your channel now for several years and can’t believe you’re actually in my county. Welcome to Cornwall! I hope you enjoy our beautiful county and also hope that the huge number of tourists at this time of year don’t dampen your stay here. Please relax and enjoy.

[@flatr8t]

There are so many wonderful aspects to this video: Be it the subtle attentiveness, care and kindness, or the beautiful craft, hospitality and landscape. But it is your courageous honesty, openness and vulnerability, for which I would like to especially thank you.

[@joannewalker6641]

Thank you darlings for your wonderful vlogs. I lost my mum in July , we are kiwis but she and dad live in Sardinia, I am London based . Dawnie was a huge fan and watched your videos for years.. Always wanting to do the same as you. I am binge watching and catching up with you and your beautiful family . You help me try to stay positive during a tough time. Daddy is watching now , he is captivated. If your ever in Sardinia let me know your welcome in our home. Take care wishing you a great first sail in the new boat. Love from Jo Jo xx

[@robs720]

what an amazing video. Now it makes sense how successful the British are on the waters - some amazing craftsmen. England looks like an amazing place to live, Its looks so peaceful.

[@ianbray8687]

Hi Guys, best video EVER..... from a proud Cornishman living in Oz since 1970. Cornwall, the land of Smugglers, Pirates, Miners & the Pastie. Kernow bys vyken (Cornwall forever).

[@kurtcraig3421]

great to see our English friends looking after you guys and yes, cornwall is a gem.

[@keykeypr8292]

That DazCat logo is just the coolest thing! Loved it. Really glad you were willing to leave in the nighttime laughing fit when you scared each other. Laughter is contagious. Great episode.

[@TheZenguitarguy]

Cool storytelling and production ideas, always getting more interesting. Thanks for sharing the travel adventures!

[@donzie13]

Thank you for giving this company the support that they deserve.

[@MrJhchrist]

One thing that I think deserves restating and celebrating is how even though Dazcat is making cutting edge fancy pants high dollar boats, they are down to earth enough to also run a DIY boat yard. They are obviously more about fostering and elevating the entire community more than just elevating themselves.

[@juststeveandnatdoingthings4880]

How wonderful and homely is Daz and his community. Made me want to visit.

[@bekishelton1820]

This was amazing to see you enjoying the UK and not just showing London but showing what the country really is!

[@mparnell2]

LOVE the hour long adventures! The BEST, BEST! Already looking forward to next week! I know filming is a lot of work and I appreciate all you put into them! Sailing away with y’all each episode energizes me for my regular (on land) work week in SC. I have learned so much about sailing and can’t wait until I can get on the water and let the wind carry me away! Love y’all! Know how much your videos lift up so many of us! Have a great week and stay safe!❤

[@Cturnerwrite]

What a special video! The quaintness and the special people that build these boats is heart warming. A slice of heaven for sure. This will be a rewatch for sure!

[@idratherbeoutdoors715]

This channel has to be my favourite to watch. The epic adventures you have and the adorable family moments you share. All four of you are stars and I hope you meet you on the water one day

Btw, the pasty maker wasn’t Cornish which is now usual as Cornwall has been overtaken by English ppl. 🤬thank fook I don’t live here anymore, our heritage has been lost. Shame you didn’t experience the real Cornwall as you only seen the border of Devon

[@suefitz2498]

What a great ep. Cornwall is on my wish list to visit. Isn’t Hissy Fit a stunner ❤. He whole trip was so relaxed and easy to watch. You always meet great people, they say like attracts like. Those littleboys are growing up soooo fast. ❤

[@kalayne6713]

And this is why the UK is my dream destination...permanently, from Australia.But a daughter fighting cancer means the dream is on hold, at least we are now at the coast, watching whales at play all week. Thanks so much for this taste of Cornwall, the people, (my ancestors) and the pasties. From another Reilly's mum, green with (good) envy.

[@Kim-up5zw]

So many great experiences: Sea Sheperd amazing organisation, getting a break from the kids, hanging out with a girlfriend, travelling to Roma and Berlin. I know you went thru a hard time a while back, but what an amazing life you lead Elayna. And hats off to Riley for taking care of the kids and giving you time out. Balance woohoooooo. Greetings from Katoomba NSW

[@Cyndy101]

Elayna seeing you have so many belly laughs was great ❤ because those are the laughs that heal our bodies and help us recover from many things including increasing our serotonin levels. Find as many of those laughs as possible!!!❤❤❤

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3167]

Beautiful cat. Louise was so gracious and kind teaching the kids how to make the pasties and the history behind them. Thank you for bringing us along. That fan hilariously funny 😂

[@mainy1984]

England and Scotland really do have some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. I can't speak for Ireland as I've never managed to get over there, but I imagine it's just as beautiful.

[@ahhnatural212]

You guys are the best. I’ve been watching you since the beginning and I have to say your passion and spirit for adventure and your authenticity and realness keeps me coming back. Thank you for being honest about the good the bad and also broadening everyone’s horizons with your intelligence and unless curiosity.

[@rebeccawells9427]

AG1 is what my husband has switched to. He has Crohn’s and it has literally helped with his absorption over another organic powder. It has helped the tingles in his feet. It has helped him sleep better, have more energy, and feel great. He researches, tracks and knows his health issues pretty closely. He loves the product.

Seeing the kernow flag on your channel is the best thing ever! I moved away six months ago so it’s lovely seeing Cornwall in all its glory!

[@martyevans8162]

What stunningly beautiful experiences, people, boats & lands you have brought into your lives while waiting for your own boat ..... and with two of the most adorable little boys in the whole, entire world. And I might add you have both been more than gracious with what I understand is the extreme delay in the completion of the build of your own boat. Dax, his skills & his graciousness were a perfect fit for you both. Travel on, be well & stay safe ....

[@dcsc1]

Next week's Spirit yatch is what I've been waiting for with relish in the series, cannit wait to see that beauty!! But geez that Dazcat does look quite easy to handle, the sails went up and down with ease 👍 My mum had me on a leash when I was in my "terrible two's". She's always said she couldn't have done life without it!

[@richarddray2634]

great to see you visited our local yard daz and his colleagues are a fantastic team, I was very excited to see our catamaran "lilly" in your video as our mooring is next to hissy fit, we did a night at cawsand last night with our kids which was great, we love sailing this part of the south coast it's beautiful 😊👍

It was really good to see Elayna genuinely laugh and smile so much.

[@queen.cee234]

Loved the Wes Anderson-style opening skit. Riley high-stepping across the dock with the cat was hilariously on point.

[@rickemmet1104]

Hey guys, great episode! Daz has a reputation for marching to the sound of his own drum, and so far everyone that has reported on these cats loves them. I would like to see a cruise of a week or so in different conditions (it changes quickly there) to get an idea of her over-all performance. Daz Cat had a video up on their site showing the boat in a serious sea state going to weather and she seemed to leap off of crests and dive into troughs - which was a little scary. It also looks as if they have more rocker in the hulls than other cats, but the T-foils (on the rudders) apparently counter act this tendency. It would be nice to see how that all works out. On the other hand, you guys obviously had a blast and it was a lot of fun just to see you guys there in Cornwall!

[@tomriley5790]

Not really, Dazcats have wave penetrating bows and narrow hulls so they're alot less rocky than a Lagoon or similar, there's lots of stuff on their youtube channel of them sailing in different conditions (usually in races) or Sailing Uma's sail down the channel was in reasonably lumpy conditions.

[@rickemmet1104]

@@tomriley5790 Hey, let's not even mention Lagoons! I was figuring they were racing on that video clip I mentioned. The conditions off shore there are vastly different from what most people would experience when cruising, so it probably feels quite different in cruising conditions. Saw Dan & Kika sailing the 39 footer, and was impressed with it. No standing headroom in the cabin, but the open design allowing those in the hull to interact with those in the cabin is a good design decision.

[@005katt]

Have anchored many times at the first anchorage including our 14ft dinghy when I was a kid and even seen basking sharks around there. So many wonderful memories of fishing for mackerel and cooking them on the beach and diving off the rocks. One of my favourite parts of the world around there, fun to see you guys there!

[@Crowscratch_HauntedLibrary]

My god, the absolute charm of your videos has hit new heights. Thank you so much for what you do. So informative, and so enjoyable.

[@colleenbalch328]

LOVING the old style silliness! Thanks for another great one!

[@grace143ed]

I really enjoyed this episode despite earlier not really being a fan of the boat tour series. Really loved the creative story-telling, candid moments and the more vlog-style, rather than a rigid boat tour. Thanks guys!

[@elizabethandrus3848]

Elaina, Is Darwin at his half year birthday? Children's psyche falls apart as part of the process of growing to the next stage of maturity. Very near his birthday you will have the best behaved child, you won't know he's the same boy. This process will repeat each year. It helps you cope knowing this. What a beautiful new home! Can't wait for it to hit the water! Elizabeth

[@wfroedgern]

Darwin sharing his ice cream with his brother melted my grinchy little heart 💜

Nice boats, sweet lines. Nice town and people. I like the house, too.... Lenny and Darwin are great dancers, Lenny's choreography is very creative (not easy to mimic though, I fell on the kitchen's floor...). Very good editing ⛵

[@nevillecannon9351]

Having watched many videos of you sailing around the world, I was delighted to see an episode where you literally sail past my house! While the weather helps show off the area around Millbrook and Plymouth Sound, I could not be more pleased that you were treated well here and valued the scenery and sailing. Thank you.

Loved how you 2 were losing it and laughing so hard. Great looking Dazcat and can tell the team loves what they do.
