Love the idea of daily videos, but make sure you are still comfortable doing them :) I would much rather catch up "only" once a week and have you guys not stress out about providing content, filming and editing all the time instead of living. But if you're down for it, we all are too :D

[@chantalmcdaniel158]

I agree!!

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-s3x]

I agree as well just dont stress yourselves out on it though~!

[@JudithLaboy-j7b]

Wow, you are in Japan thats awesome, your family is awesome, and I love your video's, thank you for all you do to bring enjoyment to us, 😊

[@valarya]

I am in love with Japan and have been waiting for this series!! I can't wait to see all your Japan adventures; keep the cool history points coming, too!!! 💜

[@travelees]

I am so glad and welcome that you have come to Japan. We are Korean family of six who travels on a yacht. We also started dreaming of a sailing trip while watching La VegaBond 4 years ago. and then We traveled halfway around the world, now stay in Korea for a 5 months. As a fan, I really want to invite you to Korea. If you get the chance, be sure to come visit Korea. Korea is also great to sailing and travel. If you need anything when you come to Korea, please contact us at any time. Always have a safe and happy sailing trip^^

RILEY! "People just don't get it"...welcome to the world of the narrow minded. I love what you all are doing! Safe travels!

[@barbara8960]

I love your kids and you're such a good mom. I look at your films once in a while to see how your boys are doing... and they are doing great 😊

Yay! We shipped our kombi and caravan to Japan and loving it. It’s an unreal place to be :) have the best time. So far Japan is magical

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

Oh good move guys. I’ve seen a few Kombi’s getting around here actually. 😍 what a beautiful country hey!!

[@pkane5472]

Enjoyed watching the high speed adventure! That boat moves!

[@Inkalagata1]

Riley definitely has the need. The need for speed. 😅

I’m happy for the daily vids but don’t burn yourself out again, and don’t worry about missing days, equally I’m fine with the current upload situ :)

[@mitzi4250]

u are the man riley. the world needs more people like u all.

[@Wendykim771]

Hi Elena, you can buy a portable small one washing machine for your boat even a portable dryer too. They are all over the map and map Amazon. They also have in Japan. Japan is the best place to buy small thing portable so look that up. Good luck.

[@barbaraannscarlet7885]

BRILLIANT IDEA I bet she can find all kinds of excellent, light weight !!!, organizational gear in Japan!

[@hokimocus]

Make sure you don't fall for the non vented dryer hype. You have to vent them somehow or the time to dry and mold problems go way up.

[@ph3n0typ33]

I had this same thought, not sure why they wouldnt on a live aboard, probably That Riley and his understandable weight issues on board. First thought was this is a stinky place to be after a week at sea!

[@vkhor927]

I love ur content, n okinawa....:) sailed .,,biggest crossing was from California to Hawaii..a treacherous crossing..was done after that :) sailing through ur eyes now...

[@contentmountain]

Riley rocking John John Florence brand just feels right! I’m curious to how you are liking the gear and or if you purchased it or they sent you some gear. I personally love the Florence Marine brand. Hope everything’s well much love!

[@pim-e]

Did you notice how well behaved the kids are in Japan? Lenny and Darwin were raised in a different way. I'm curious how you experienced those differences. Thank you so much for these beautiful films!

[@stephenhise2470]

So Crazy. Love kids. Will be friends in the end. Ski Japan? Stay local and be safe. Lots to learn. First to show the circle of the island. Great can't get enough. Everyone. please stop and think and feel about the bad thing in North Carolina. Just no words. Love each other.

[@sailorlac]

Japan has incredible snow and wonderful ski towns.

So sorry for your fractured ribs. It is so painful! I think that break and fracture mean the same? Hope you heal well and you can control the pain.

[@alicerice8506]

@@SailingLaVagabonde I’m so glad and to get 10 daily videos. I’m very happy 😊

[@barbaraannscarlet7885]

Okinawa ! Blue Zone! So much to learn from the people living in these very special places. 🎉 Elayna and Riley for sailing your family there , gratitude for taking us with you. Can't wait to see what's next. Glad you got confirmation on what your rib was doing Elayna. I cracked a couple at the same time my " new" boyfriend did a decade ago. Made for some pretty funny s*x! ❤️ 🇨🇦

[@almightymunt9397]

fuaaark Riley. Looking jacked man 🤜🤛

[@caseymichigan7576]

I’m with Elayna..more Japan footage and less sailing right now. I love the sailing and the new boat footage but Japan’s history and culture needs more attention. I think you can break open this new sailing destination with this trip. Love you Riley, but you need to embrace Japan more.

[@markhodge7]

Damn rib. Bruised, cracked or broken. You don't understand "every breath pain". Hang in there.

[@cherylsibson2529]

Lenny could send his t shirt artwork online, might pay for his university education, hey that's why Roman Attwood made Smile more T shirts, but Lenny's an original smile more artist! So glad you made it into Japan!

[@amandachambers8593]

I feel like Lenny and Darwin would look adorable in some hoods as well!! Protect those locks. ❤❤❤

[@PaulMarshall]

Champagne sailing on a beautiful boat!

[@sonjabertels6830]

I wouldn't go to near that powerplant that is still leaking radio active stuff and I would definitely not eat the fish down there not a good idea to go spear fishing.

[@westoneverett7803]

Was just thinking, "I wonder when they're going to release the next vid?" then I saw it was up!

[@danielhylton4675]

thx enjoy your updates~!

[@mbrt3000]

idles are the best band out there and their shows are epic. Another fantastic vid!

Great video, guys. What an awesome place to explore.

[@clayguy1]

Couldn't stop watching your video.. I'm a sculptor.. and I had just finished sculpting this afternoon and was getting ready to edit my video for the day,, saw your video was up.. Had to stop working on my video to watch yours.. haha.. It's 6pm.. now and I've got to get on my video.. and I WON'T BE EATING DINNER TILL LATE NOW.. LOL... Love you guys and your adventures.. It's a total escape for me from the Mountains of Montana.. to be sailing the oceans on a great adventure.. Thank you so much for your efforts to take us all on your travels..

Glade u made it safe and sound ❤

[@jillcarter5221]

I could watch Lenny and Darwin for hours. 💌💕❣

[@JonathanACarr]

That was a lovely video. Thanks for sharing!

[@PacificSolo]

Some great one liners . . including Riley`s `everyone`s old, there just not dying` . . good one and true. Thanks for highlighting Japan. really glad you are here

[@johnmaliskey7951]

Sunrise on top of Mt. Fuji should be a must because the snow will close that down. Hike up in the evening and buy a Fiji stick and have a brand burnt onto it at several stations on the way up ...... Tokyo IS EXPENSIVE......... get with some locals that can help you navigate around the area.......................... enjoy

[@zinclar111]

Come sail Norway. 🇳🇴 pleeeeeeas 🙏😎⛵️

[@RB9522]

"I'm impressed that you managed to fly the drone in Okinawa, considering how many military bases we have here. You did a fantastic job showcasing Okinawa. There's so much more to explore, and we hope you'll visit again soon!"

[@troothseeker7312]

Epic Sailing guys🥰 What an adventure with lovely people along the way, Life is definitely a Journey for all onboard.🙌

[@tanyalove6983]

Hope you read what I wrote about broken ribs last time. I copied and pasted from the Mayo clinic which is the best in US in my opinion. Please please follow all those instructions please there could be serious consequences. Glad everyone is😊looking so well. Remember you have a crew to help you out.! Take care Elena!

[@Petenz81]

Why does Riley always act like a spoilt child if he has to do something his wife likes. Don’t be grumpy Riley😋, she loves you you lucky guy!!

[@daner.d]

jesus Riley dont jump like that, your not a skittish person so I thought you might have t-boned another boat or hit a mountain what the hell....(っ＾▿＾)💨

[@rwdyer2263]

As I was getting ready to click the LIKE button it changed from 3.6K to 3.7K likes. I must be the 3701st like! ha ha. Another great production. I really enjoy following your little crew. My daughter is in Okinawa. Her husband is a Marine stationed there. They have 5 kids. Did you see her? lol. Safe travels.

[@shimereemoon]

Lenny i think Darwin's shirt looks groovy but maybe next time you want to draw A T-shirt ask Daddy if you can make one first. Make one for your Mommy to make her boo boos better. I know you can do that even on a paper you can make cards for any kind of card or picture that you want. By the way boys, Have you seen spider puppys on the Dodo? I see you are learn to sail and besides that you have more personality than there is stars in the sky! Be good, believe, but most of all be sailors! Have A good time and eat good food in Japan! From Shimereemoon

[@kareedamm6337]

🎉PLUS🎉 JAPAN!! 💕🥷💕💖🌸🪷🍃

[@LittleSimGoesWild]

Love the thumbnail guys. Darwin (particularly) looks so adorable as the cool dude!

[@heronemosheppard8877]

Excellent! Thank you. Love you all. Riles yer never ever an a** h***. Some people react poorly because of their untreated trauma. Im speaking of your viewer that commented. Yer the most loving Dad and consciencious person. Thanks for being Amazing. You so desrve Elayna. Im so glad you found each other. I've been watching since before Lenny & Darwin. One of my favorite episodes was when you made a joke crossing over a trench in the Atlantic with a funny name and you were using it to infer the opportunity to get pregnant. Elayna tried to ignor your tease. It was so romantic and very fun for us to be witness to your intimant moment. And Doubly so now that you have two beautiful amazing boys in Lenny and Darwin. Good on U mate. Well done. You two are the most fantastic parents and adventureors. The number one sailing channel on the planet.

[@AustinBoil]

Aww yes, Okinawa... stopped there for 1 day in the late 60's on my way to Vietnam. Went to a club at night & got hammered on rum & coke... in fact the last rum & coke I've had! Cured. LOL 🤣🤣

[@kareedamm6337]

🤔How do you grow balls🤓

[@Curry11Curr]

We are heading to Japan in early March, heading up to hakuba to hit the slopes if you are still around would be an honour to finally meet you! Been following since day one and look forward to your videos every week/fortnight!

[@66NEETS]

Omg so excited for daily videos !! You guys make my day ! Elayna you’re a trooper !! I’m always so amazed by you. So happy you’re in Japan living out your dream. Be safe guys ! ❤

[@coleengoodell7523]

I can almost feel the freedom that you've been feeling as you fly across the water under sail. No matter how many times I see LVIII flying, cutting through the water like butter, it never gets old. Once you've felt what it feels like to sail on a perfect day, you never forget it. Thank you, may God bless you and Godspeed to you and yours always. ♾

[@barbaraannscarlet7885]

Elayna , someone commented on how you probably will find the lightest weight ,smallest portable washer in Japan! OMG Riley could shift off his position! 😂❤🎉

[@Jasmateau]

I missed something? How did elayna break a rib? Ive been suscribed since the very start! Much love! I had 10 days in japan 10 years. Such an amazing country to see. I flet like had landed on another planet so amazing!

[@dncamp90]

What an amazing machine!! It’s so cool to see it ramp up and just fly!! I also love the dynamics between all of you guys on board!! Great video!! Thanks

[@dennism1869]

Elayna , are you wearing Riley‘s skirt ? The big girly man talking about your feelings and wearing skirts. before you haters start, I am joking. More power to you guys .Living by curious through you two. 😁

[@darlenemc3586]

Congratulations on reaching Japan, a place I've always wanted to visit as well. Your boys are so pretty, they will mature to be handsome men. I bet Lenny would like to finger paint.

[@gailcollins9331]

As usual a great video, showing your lives on board from day to day as you continue your sailing adventure. I wish you happy, healthy and safe travels. Love and hugs Gail, Czech Republic ❤️.

[@doggonedk]

Love your content but concerning the boat weight please Riley tell me what are you going to do with this information. Are you going to sail the boat differently if it weighs 10 tons versus 12 tons. I guess I just don't understand the obsession with wanting to know what that boat weighs unless there's a contractual deal with the builder. Either way don't matter to me still love your content.

[@rainorshine6702]

Omg how was that 26 minutes....went by like a 15 minute video. Cant get enough xoxo to all.

[@BH195829]

Your production of your videos is off the charts amazing. Congratulations!!😊🚀🔥

[@rhett4027]

I would love daily videos of course. Dailies don't have to be long ones unless you just keep the camera on during dinner and sundowners! Elayna is the epitome of fashion and beauty!

[@Arthousebvi]

Worried - thinking of your past “breakdown” which abated when you took projects off your list … don’t add them back in too fast!

[@LinenAssociate]

10:48 Land lubbers wouldn't have done that! Stay in your lane, sailors! (just kidding!)

[@ph3n0typ33]

Japan is beautiful and wonderful people but its doing the oceans wrong with its radiation and its whaling. I was sad to see the family at an aquarium also unless to teach their kids why they shouldnt exist. I would have thought with the support for Greenpeace and The Sea Shepard that this would perhaps be in conflict.......

[@ianlawless7481]

Love you guys and your family. Super inspirational to me and my life. That being said Captain Riley is acting a bit rough and emotionally weathered. It's okay to take a breather and your lifestyle is super demanding. You guys are so fricking important and appreciated from people you don't know, and have benefited and learned from your skills. Riley you are something special and you don't need to be the best captain of the fastest boat! Riley you are already a great father and cool human! We can be slow and low. Take your time loves!

[@waynewilliams8554]

The only YT channel I never miss to watch from back in the monohull early days. Another gem. Thank you both for entertaining an old man every week!!

[@annettes7460]

Riley = down-to-earth; Elayna = not so much. It's good to have a viewing break now and then.

[@EsotericNY]

Very excited for you all. Japan...where Spock's home planet Vulcan meets Disney. I've been many times and hope you try to hop on a bullet train to Kyoto. There's no other city like it in the world. You're also there at a good time. FX rates are favorable, which means you can eat 5-star for much cheaper than ever.

You guys are amazing and what a trip. You got me looking at getting lessons on the Hudson. It’s not Japan but if I close my eyes I can feel I’m there. 😂😂 thanks for sharing your experience…have fun at the concert.

[@tanyasetter2118]

I swear the words “those boys can sleep anywhere!” Had just come out of my mouth and then Elayna said it. Oh, to be young again 💙❣️

[@robeckel4965]

I understand wanting to weigh it at least once after the construction was complete to ensure it met the specifications, but I'm curious why you'd want to weigh the boat every year.

[@sonchi203]

Love you guys. Japan is #1 on my bucket list. Have fun and thanks for taking us along.

[@jimmydaniel8752]

All that creaking would get on my last nerves I would be tearing that boat apart and seeing what was making that creaking I have a solace 345 and I tore that thing apart and all the wood and fiberglass that was creaking I fixed and that boat is so quiet and peaceful now it would be so hard to sleep on a over night passage with all that noise

[@jordandale85]

I've gotten so used to Ellie being there, that it wouldn't feel right without her. How long has she been working for you now, 2ish years?
