We need to get to Safety! JAPAN VLOG (1/7)

[@Jessica-t8b1q]

Elayna! I loved the little talk at the end when you were getting ready for bed. I feel like Ellie should do a "day in her life" as a nanny to the boys.

[@kierstenone]

Love this idea!!!

[@vickymizell2443]

I am totally shocked! It struck me today that Lenny and Darwin are growing and changing so fast!! I noticed that Lenny is taking on more responsibilities helping the crew. He gets very serious when he has a rope in his hands. I’m not a sailor so I don’t know the correct terminology, but watching Lenny securing the rope with focus and confidence touched my heart! He swims like his Dad! I can’t believe he is free driving so well! And Darwin, he is lucky to have a big brother to teach him and include him in his adventures! I live on the Gulf Coast of the USA and I am ready for hurricane season to be over!!! Elena, I am so glad you want to push forward. The Lows and Cyclones make me very nervous for all of you! I am enjoying your vlog format! Even though I am not a sailor I am about to download the SeaPeople app to my iPad. It will be fun to follow you on the map! I’m also about to check out Voyages of Agape. Stay safe! Until tomorrow!! I love it!! Love and hugs from Texas!🤠❤️

You have to be so proud of Lenny's free diving. I don't know that I've seen a little guy go as fast and deep as he does. Love the app and I'm going to love the videos every day this week.

[@imtheasco]

Hi you guys. Never ever comment anything on yours KZbin channel before. But just want to say, after watching your channel on/off for A couple of years now. There are just Something about where you are now in japan or In your life, it gives me a smile and good feeling, can’t quite set a finger on it, but it’s hearty warmth. Keep going and I have a lot of respect for your family ! Best from Denmark 🇩🇰❤️

[@wildaltarose]

Your sons will have so many wonderful memories when they grow up. What a wonderful life they live. Ellie is a real treasure for sure, home schooling, cooking, and adding so much to your sailing adventures. I am excited to have you post every day for the coming week. Please stay safe!

[@heronemosheppard8877]

Precious! Such an intimate share all through. I feel the love. Its such an honor to watch you all do life in your adventurous way. Elayna, you have become the best story teller of all time. I'm so glad so many agree with me as you guys are by far the most watched cruisers in the world. We love you.

[@welovetoshopnow]

I love how much Elayna accepts Riley for who he is. "He's an ideas man, so watch this space." And the wonderful life those boys are having...amazing.

[@glennburch1081]

Your videos always offer so much. Riley and Elayna, your presentations always captivate with an adventerous spirit, humility, honesty, top notch sailing that you guys always seen to have the ability to convey in a simple manner yet get very technical for the geeks. Your sense of humor is contagious. Keep up the great videos, I always look forward to the next one, TY. From Virginia Beach, Virginia, be well and sail safe.

[@barbaraannscarlet7885]

I'm in awe. Lenny is becoming a sailor. You've made it to Japan and I get to come! You are literally adding to peoples lives plus creating good change for sailors! Be proud of yourselves. ❤🎉

[@Perry3377]

I must say, Its been very impressive watching Riley and Elena deal with the pressures involved in sailing and navigating an ocean going vessel . Having grown up in the Caribbean, you come to find out early that mother nature can be a foreboding lady. Riley being mostly self-taught as an ocean-going sailor has been quite impressive. ( Not to mention Elena and the cast of capable crew.) I heard Riley mention one thing during this video that goes beyond modern navigation and we in the Caribbean have used for centuries. Proverbs 9 : 10... Safe Travels and congratulations on the launch of Sea People \i/

[@patriciamitchell777]

I'm digging the new format guys! Lenny, grabbing the mooring lines and he has become such a natural fish swimming 🐠 "OK camera, OK camera?" Darwin spits out another unique classic line: " A stick, 🪵and a leomn 🍋"!

[@laurenm8561]

Elayna, you have such a beautiful voice. Lenny is growing up to be quite the little sailor and his diving skills are incredible. Safe and joyful blessings

[@danielbalderas2819]

Congratulations you guys !!!! I wish all of the team and Sea people. I am a former U.S. Navy Veteran and enjoy all your videos. And I spent two years in Japan serving on a aircraft carrier and saw most of the Pacific Ocean saw your Homeland of Australia and I also sailed the Indian Ocean. I love being on the water or in the ocean. I could possibly use your new app to connect with someone to go sailing with and that would be awesome. Your idea for this app is fantastic and I come in y'all.

[@Nygle123]

Elayna, you have such a good attitude toward life. I love how you remain open to possibilities and are flexible in your mind.

[@brianmileti868]

A video each day, that's awesome, congratulations on the release of the new app.🧡⛵⛵⛵⛵

[@Bajatrvlr]

Elayna, I’ve hesitated saying this for so long, but it’s just bursting out of me… you undoubtedly have one of the best body’s on KZbin. Your efforts to stay in shape are apparent for all to see. Keep it up and you’ll enjoy good health for the rest of your life.

[@CLR939]

This is such a weird comment.

[@travel_bug_kim8346]

This is such a treat - Daily vlogs 😀😀😀😀

[@coleengoodell7523]

Oh my goodness! The boys are growing up so fast and so well. Lenny has lost all his baby fat and is showing the natural sailor within him. He's got the rope pulling stance down like a pro. Darwin is just the cutest little guy ever. So glad you understand the overtired meltdowns and how to manage them. Once he gets it all out, he calms down quick and gets the nap he's needing. He most certainly is and will probably always be a funny character, it will serve him well in his life. Not that I'm saying that destruction of property should be allowed and not be met with some consequences. But sometimes accidents do happen and I always made a point to my children that they were more important to me than any material thing. I'd say, I can get another one of those, but I can't get another one of you. You mean more to me than anything in this world and it's true. Even an antique that I inherited that I can't replace, meant less to me than my children's feelings or safety. You guys are such great parents and Ellie is such a wonderful friend and influence on them as well. You are so blessed with such great friends and such an amazing family. Godspeed LVIII, you are loved. ♾

[@JoeCuv]

Love to hear that Riley is looking down the road to a faster sailing vessel. People like him are what drives the technology for the masses, making boats like the one you have now more of the convention and not the exception. He's an adventurer in his prime. Run with it!

[@douglayman]

The boys are doing smashing! Cheers!

[@valhalla3595]

Congratulations on Sea People! Stay ambitious. Your need for a more powerful boat combined with the boys adventurous nature to challenge themselves is a dangerous mix. We've seen broken roller furlings hurling about, crew flying 30' thru the air. The more power the more danger. Your number one job is to keep the boys safe. Live life with Love and contentmentYou are Blessed!

Another great video guys. The boys are growing up so fast and learning on the boat. Lenny had me worried a little when he was going through his growling stage.😂 he watches Riley so closely just absorbing everything he does.Elana, thanks for picking up your guitar again. I downloaded SeaPeople yesterday! Looking forward to your next video.

[@ItsMeNanaD71]

I’m sorry but I find it quite humorous to hear an Aussie talking about the dangerous critters they have to watch out for while not in Australia 😂😂😂😂 Like I thought all the other critters in the world would just be no big deal to Aussies with all the crazy critters that country has.

[@Archamfer]

As an Aussie I can definitely see the humour in it and I think the way they reacted was actually inherently Australian! Here we are taught from a young age what to look out for, what is scary looking but harmless and what to do when things go wrong. Staying proficient to what is in your area is just as important and I commend them on fact that they clearly did do their research for the area they were in.

[@ItsMeNanaD71]

See you tomorrow. What great news. It's not like I didn't know you were going to do this, it's just that it's finally here. Don't worry Elayna. The way designing and building a new boat goes, you are at least 4 years out. A life time. Elayna, as usual, you are just beautiful. Stay safe. ❤🙏

Great video guys! I’m really looking forward to the rest of the series. Congrats on the SeaPeople launch! I’ve started using the app and think it’s going to be really cool! Just wanted to let you know KZbin placed a few 2 & 5 minute ad breaks (all non-skippable) in the vid. I have a small YT channel but wouldn’t know about the ads unless a viewer told me. I know you can’t necessarily do anything about it, I was just surprised at the length.

[@lachlaninglis9568]

Hey guys, love you and been following you since day 1, and subscribed more recently. I'm a dev and I just wanted to say SeaPeople is truely epic!! You've done such a great job from the UI UX its absolutely epic. I'm actually from a small Melb based Social Media startup so I totally understood and felt so much of the pain you guys felt during the dev process. And yes lol I've worked with numerous dev teams in India and found similar challenges and found some absolutely legend coders along the way too. Just wanted to say well done guys the App from my perspective (and I nothing at all about sailing) but after creating an account I can see SeaPeople would legit be the social media of the Seas, there is nothing else in this space and you guys have totally nailed it!! Well done and God bless!!

[@robertw.1499]

Of all the things that have either interested or impressed me on your journey, watching your kids in the water with their obvious affinity to it always makes me smile ❤ The time-lapse footage at 13:40 looked like you were both having a fit 😂

I got to say this , your App is incredible. I’m not a sailor but what you and the team have done is nothing but wow I’m so excited, I followed one of the channels that I watch and there they are it’s beautiful you should be so proud congratulations 🎉 truly you deserve to feel the way you both do and the team that helped thank you ❤

Just their extended cuts broken up into parts. Which is the smart way of doing it. So instead of a single 400k view video, 60 minutes long, they will have 400k views x 7. More views. More comments. More thumbs up. It all equals more new subscribers. Not sure why they haven’t been doing this all along. Great content either way!

[@stevenwarner7348]

All right now. ~ A couple of things. ~ First I am a sailor, I have two boats, one that I'm just giving away another with radical modifications, but this is not about that. I think for me "Sea People" would not be a fit. Here in New Hampshire, a mortgage, yea retired, lots of time and equity etc but I went with motorcycles on fbMP. But still my sailboats. So whatever. I appreciate what you are describing with your app. I know it will "go viral." So congratulations about that. The other thing. Ellie. What a very nice person. Works so hard in her role as "Cook" and "Instructor/guardian" for the boys. But here's the rub. You have never talked about Ellie's role. Some appreciation expressed by you and Riely but how does Ellie feel about what she is doing? I absolutely support the value of having a consistent partner (not Riely) relating to safety, instruction, and generally helpful overall and I appreciate that you and Riely are managing so many things behind the scenes. So there ya go. If you guys are going to post more - I'm jumping in with comments which I try not to do. (to much).〰Oh well. 😳. 🙏. New Hampshire USA....

Downloaded the app. Under the tab for "how you can help" you should add "Other" and allow for an explanation. As a long time Paramedic I would not be able to help with many of the items listed but, while not a physician, could provide basic emergency medical information that might be helpful during traumatic and medical emergencies. Quite often I have watched you and other sailors and thought, wow, I could have helped in that emergency. Keep up the excellent work, you are living my dream.

[@saschaeuler7883]

I'm on sea people , even if I don't have a boat or I'm at sea , it's a great idea involving all kinds of people as wen I was sailing I realised how important it is to have some help on the ground....like transport or an address to send stuff. So good on you guys .
