We Sailed 912 Nautical Miles to get here. The Azores…

[@kingseye]

GREAT INTRO! Lenny's status has been upgraded from "stowaway"!

[@vesperholly8285]

He’s earned his keep! 😂 ❤️ 👶

[@joannedefalco3]

He is almost two years old now!

[@markdurham5062]

He'll be 'Watch Stander' soon.

[@skyecarson2874]

It may or may not have made me tear up a little...

[@GuyCruls]

Frank Grimes 'bout time too 🙄

[@tymeryder7264]

Lenny is delightful. A lovely family. Continue to see the world with new eyes.

[@bruceandrews7305]

I've said it before, I'll say it again: wow, wow, wow, your episodes and filmcraft just keep getting better and better. That's a great new intro, but so glad you kept Elayna's laughing dive onto the bunk; that's a Trademark moment. Lenny blooms, and you all deserve as much rest and relaxation in the spectacular Azores as you can muster. Thanks for share this fabulous location with us. Don't sweat the videos, enjoy your life there. Our wait on this end is always worth it when you deliver, and we're not going anywhere. And there were no ads at all in this episode; hooray, and well done. Stay safe and well, best wishes from Bathurst NSW Australia (where it's a fresh Spring, green with recent rain and new blossoms, such a change since last year and drought). Sail on sailors!

[@ppumpkin3282]

Elayna's laughing dive is getting tiresome.

[@chamberpaint]

I don’t care...just relax & enjoy yourselves & we’ll watch whatever you post. Feel better, Riley...have fun...don’t work so hard!

[@rumblechick73]

Breathtaking! I just turned 71 today & consider this my gift to be able to see such a beautiful place, so thanks to you all for sharing! ♥♥♥

Happy birthday!

[@analisapinto]

Happy Birthday ;)

[@fayealexandra3001]

happy birthday! hope you had a wonderful day 🤍

[@donaldsemora]

You are doing things, and experiencing things... The good and bad that really are special. Lenny is being brought up with a life he will cherish. I had the pleasure of living in Iran as a young child. My father and mother took me there and to this day at 52 years old I love those memories. Lenny will have so many more...

[@63KarKar]

No matter my circumstances, Lenny always brings a smile!!!❤️

[@justinprince117]

cant help but smile everytime lenny is on camera.

[@dylndar]

Finally the new intro!!!!

[@pkane5472]

Change to 6 years on the water, rather than 5!

[@coegj]

How good for both/all three/all four of you to enjoy this wonderful time in your lives and let us who can't make it there and never will in some cases. What fun it looks like.

[@indianajones4016]

‘We’ve recently found ourselves with a runaway’ 🦆🏃🏼

[@bossman8303]

I had back problems that would not go away, could not sleep thru the night without waking up in pain. After 4 months I finally went to an osteopath. It was like she performed a miracle on me. It was truly amazing what this lady did for me. Great vid , Azores were all ready on my bucket list. Just have to get rid of this nasty pandemic first.

[@willisfleming2893]

The Azores reminds me so much of New Zealand. Very similar scenery to the far North, Waikato/Rotorua and much of the South Island. Beautiful

[@jasilvacook]

Willis the Azores is very similar to New Zealand. I went to NZ when i was 14yo to see relatives both North and South Island 31 years ago, and I use to live the Azores up until 2008. There are many similarities between them, even as far as the Hāngi (cooking in the ground). There are many unique things about each island and although i haven't been to all of the islands only 5 of 9. I do plan and seeing the rest one day and retiring on the island of Pico.

[@carriepatino682]

This was an absolute stunner of an episode for many reasons but mostly because of the Azores. I hope to make it there one day. Beautiful and thank you for sharing.

[@daneulekowski929]

Nice to see Elayna get some girl time with Bri. This was a really great and beautiful episode.

[@mn9978]

Elayna, your voice is out of this world!! Soooo soothing!

[@Albert5522]

Elayna we love the videos but more importantly we love when your loving life in the videos, if that means a video doesn't go out or is late so be it! ❤️

[@manupsucka]

Have you noticed that Lennie is a great sound imitator. As a baby, when you were on the boat and he was growling, he was imitating the boat sounds and now that you're in the car he is imitating the engine sounds. This is a a sign that he will be a great singer some day!!! Or a great impersonator!!!

[@hepdog17]

I found myself saying “and recently we found ourselves with a stowaway” but you got me! Great new intro!

[@Bantie1]

Girl! You look like you just got younger! Pushing away stress and keepin it cool is makin you look younger. Relaxation is GREAT! and like robby said yesterday, Lenny does look like an Irwin with that blonde hair and olive complexion and tanned like he is. The whole family looks great in their walkabout having a beaut of a good time.

[@GuyCruls]

the girls rap - doesn't get cuter ✨✨✨ - speaks volumes about how much happiness the Azores have brought to the crew 🤩

[@jessenleigh5348]

I haven't caught up with your videos for a bit now, and I didn't think it had been that long until I saw how big Lenny has gotten! Last time I watched, he was just starting to pull himself up on things and stand and now he's WALKING. He's so big I wanna cry!!! Now I gotta go back through all the missed videos and catch up -- feel like I've missed SO much.

[@johnmarch007]

Agreed! Excellent new intro change! No longer a stowaway but a crew member!!! PS I was swept into a river during a flood and broke my back and both of my arms. I have recovered without surgeries and there are some basics that can help with Riley's back: Always try and sleep with a pillow between his legs to reduce strain on the sacrum. Tart Cherry extract can help reduce inflammation. Also various forms of Capiscum. Hip flexor stretching to reduce the Ham strings pulling on the pelvic girdle. Learning proper kettle bell usage for squats and hip mobility. I found learning Turkish Get up invaluable. Also a portable TENS unit, very inexpensive, can be a life saver during spasm episodes. Try and avoid NSAIDs if possible but if you are in spasm they can help. I am NOT a DR. but I am twice Riley's age and completely understand what he is dealing with and encourage him to try any and all options until he finds what works. PPS carrying copies of x-rays and or MRI's as digital files can also make things easier when you get to a new DR.

[@ariag.8745]

Wonderful, wonderful feedback for Riley. Glad the osteopath got you where you needed to be!May I also just add that if discomfort is in the mid region never underestimate the connection to the kidneys. I've had back issues my entire life and there's often a connection to the kidneys. One time I had terrible back problems and it turned out to be a kidney infection and once it cleared up, my spine was fine again. Maybe ease up on the alcohol and it's good that you just cleaned your water maker. One can never stress the importance of pure water enough. If there are any heavy metals or particulates this can weigh heavily on the kidneys and cause back pain. We tend to always assume that discomfort is due to structural issues but if you talk to any really good chiropractor they'll tell you that the many nerve endings that funnel into the spine are completely related to all the organ systems in the body. Heart issues can produce discomfort in between the shoulder blades, reproductive issues can cause back pain in the lower spine, and as I mentioned kidney issues can cause issues in the mid to lower back region. It's really important to be aware of that connection. MOLD can also be a very significant factor. I know you guys often clean the mold off of the walls etc in the boat but that's actually critical. Exposure to large or concentrated amounts of mold will tax the kidneys and produced back issues which sometimes won't even manifest until you do heavy lifting, etc. If you've been in some really old buildings, you might have exposed yourself to some bad mold. I coach folks on this often. Feel free to email me if you want some remedies to kill mold in lungs, internally and in boat. [e-mail]

[@denty32]

Went to the Azores 18 months ago, absolutely stunning, the only place in Europe that grows Tea. the best whale watching I have seen around the world. Beautiful climate

[@pearlhartney9]

So lovely to see Elayna having fun and with a woman/companion on board! think she really needed it! xx

[@anthonyjarvis9472]

If you want a break then have one you deserve it. Enjoy your life, we will miss you but we will be here when you get back.

[@robby8151]

Your baby looks like a little reincarnation of Steve Irwin.

[@deeqam.9023]

if you've ever watch a series of unfortunate events, he looks like the littlest elf. So cute

[@robingraham6820]

Tryyyyy to encourage him to sail or something, just steer him away from crazy dangerous animals.........especially stingrays🥴

[@tylorvella1231]

Love the new intro ☺️👌🏻

[@tsikibartoov5670]

It's such a joy to follow your adventures and watch you and your friends

[@sandrasignorelli5960]

Great episode. I never realized how beautiful the azores are. Definitely a bucket list destination.

[@achmatadams3433]

I'm amazed how u guys always seem to have useful friends who can help or guide when u find urself in a spot of bother. I think its a sign that Riley and Elayna are just good people so people tend to want to help them

[@scottoswald7535]

GREAT episode! I think it been a bit since we've seen a genuinely proper smile and light hearted happiness from you both.😉👍👍

[@sarabear888]

So glad you’re getting some girl time. You guys are some lucky ducks! Glad there’s people that show others how to live. I know that life is unexpected, has its ups and downs for sure. Just glad you have the means to show others how to adventure and truly live. Bless your family!

[@samanthan2519]

I loved bri from years ago on below deck. It’s so interesting to see her come full circle back into my life in another way. She was always inspiring to me back then and even more today. I love seeing her travel with you all. Love the new intro

[@chelseaclare5355]

Omg I just realised she was on below deck...that’s awesome

[@Patty5825]

Ah ha! I KNEW she looked familiar.

[@darleneermis4903]

Please take time to enjoy your little boy! Time goes by so fast! When he goes off to college your heart will break! You’ll be happy for him, but you’ll want him back❤️

[@moz1953]

a travel quote that seems really relevant to what you guys do - " though we travel the world over to find the beautiful we must carry it with us or we find it not " be safe take care XxX

[@Nix0616]

The best thing about having Lenny with you guys is to enjoy seeing things through his eyes and his mischievous side, blooming right in front of our eyes! He is a little man who will learn from this thing called Life, every wave at a time, every island at a time and the stories he will one day be able to tell from HIS perspective, will be legendary! What a way to live your life! Stay safe and healthy! 😊💞🌻🌼🌸🙏😍

[@allycatphae]

Omgggg I always feared when you made a new intro that, Elayna, you would take out the part of you jumping into the bed and laughing because LITERALLY your laugh makes me smile😊❤️

[@bertsteen2014]

allycatphae I agree. What a great laugh so genuine. Great video. Love y’all and happy birthday to you both.

[@tomm7029]

Which episode does that shot come from?

[@muravi8167]

hey guys thanks for showing Azores ! its beautiful !!......loved the prancing and playing around of handsome LENNY !

[@stoneguy223]

lenny is like ..." holy shit ,there's ice cream on land....I'm out

[@fisherh9111]

haha, "more"

[@botibartha9848]

😂😂😂👍🏼

[@2008marin]

This was the BEST of The BEST videos EVER !! Thanks guys 👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌

[@Emzohh]

Love how good of a mood you can see Elayna is in throughout the video :))

[@cyberpunk_d-va490]

Just WOW 🤩 I never knew this place existed. I feel like it’s one of those you need to see for yourself to embrace the beauty of the land. Defo want to visit here. Thanks for sharing

[@osvaldofrias1921]

I love the Azores it's so beautiful and magical can't wait to go back. It's a wonderful place to relax and refresh it's amazing.

[@MUNYEA]

My causing from Bermuda! Love your comment 100℅ agree

[@mgastronomy]

Fantastic video guys. Thank you very much for sharing. Enjoy your time in the Azores. Clear Skies!!!

[@Alyssa0730]

This video brought the biggest smile to my face ☺️ what a great way to end a Monday

[@jaeorumn4242]

Yes!! Please come sail again Josje!!!

[@jules3042]

I swear I wish these episodes would never end 😩🤍

[@kloparen7376]

I hope you all take a vacation this year. You deserve it.

[@BrianGochnauer]

Add to the fact your in a beautiful place; that Lenny is exploring and seeing things he has never even dreamed of; makes your own experiences all the more special.

[@lbmreports]

Bri you're the star of this episode, you're amazing!

[@_fleur]

It's actually really easy to make your own plant milk. For oat milk all you need to do is blend oats with water. To prevent it going slimy you can strain it through a nut milk bag (or any cotton cloth). Could save some weight as well!

[@_fleur]

Paul Chapin OK boomer

[@_fleur]

GaryEvansb My comment wasn't about the nutritional/ethical value of oat milk. It was merely about being able to save weight/space. To make 20L (≈ 20KG) of oat milk you only need 2KG of oats and the rest is water. So they could save a lot of weight/space by just bringing aboard the oats and making their plant milk with the water from the watermaker. But nice come back 👍

[@_fleur]

GaryEvansb Thanks for your honest and nice reply too 😊 I forget the demographic of sailing videos might not be the same as most other YT channels I watch, and that a comment about plant milk can be interpreted as an annoying treehugger activist trying to change the world again. (I mean I am a bit of a treehugger, but I also think a lot of activist's approaches have the adverse effect and the world is less black and white/more complex than some people make it out to be)

[@kd0r]

It's really nice to see everyone bubbly and happy. All the videos are good, and life is not all bubbles, so don't just show us the very best. But, it is nice to see a great reaction to a location. David

[@larissazeitzmann7202]

I think this place just moved to the top of my travel bucket list😍

[@haak737]

San Miguel is so great that i could settle down there....went there from November to January, swimming in in crystal clear ocean almost every day...excellent diving, fishing, hiking, food and people. Climate is warmer than mainland Portugal in the winter. A wonderful place

[@pkane5472]

I keep repeating myself after each episode, but the cinematography is just crazy good. The clarity of the shots, the waterfalls, the vegetation, OK, the deer too.... Thank you for taking us on your journeys....

[@naomidoss1837]

Happy birthday to you both. Enjoy yourselves and don't stress about the video. We can wait

[@gchanger3]

I LOVED THIS ONE SO MUCH! Bri has been such a blessing! You all have needed this Azore experience to reboot!

[@josephine4834]

Take all the time you want, I’d hate to know that we as viewers keep you from enjoying your time in the Azores! 🥰🌞

[@dougwebb2996]

nice to see Lenny has stopped being a stowaway. Keep up the good work

[@kustakuties9847]

Truly 😍👌🏿

[@earlrichardet2102]

Thanks for this video. I had no idea that the Azores were as beautiful as what I just saw. Enjoy!!

[@larissazeitzmann7202]

OMG THE NEW INTRO!!😱😱 I screamed and watched it twice😂

[@markroman8149]

Yay! I’ve been thinking lately that it was time to update the intro! Bravo! Love you guys keep rocking!

[@89hje]

Elayna, so glad you kept the dirty cackle in the intro! Makes me smile every time. Wonderful episode as always guys ❤️

[@mr356porsch]

My wife and I are going to celebrate our 40th anniversary next year and YOU THREE have given me the best idea where to go.....thanks.

[@stevecrombie5357]

Love the changes to the opening. Bri has turned out to be a nice addition to the crew. You made me laugh today. Thanks.

[@JMac-27]

I was watching the horrible things going down here in the US and I needed a smile. I came here because it's 100% guaranteed that im gonna smile laugh and feel my heart go warmer. Thanks for that you guys 😊

[@gcqldrgirl]

Lenny looks do gorgeous in his little outfits. So so gorgeous.

[@shyansmith6930]

[@YTviewer118]

I'm so glad the intro finally changed! It's great!

[@sjt609]

😆 Funniest comment from Riley, "I don't get blown away like this, I'm just a jaded old traveller." Your *strike* was worth it Elayna! 💝

[@botibartha9848]

That sentence really caught my attention as well. If these guys are amazed by the landscape ... you know it must be amazing because they have been to some really amazing spots

[@777visionquest]

the azores are beautiful...thanks for sharing.....who are these weirdos that give you a thumbs down.....they must be jealous.....Have fun kids.....

Wow. Thank you for stopping in the Azores. Ive had many friends that have lived there (US military). Im completely blown away at how gorgeous it is. Im so adding this to my bucket list!

[@sophiestaheyeff3934]

Lenny saying "more, more, mooooore!" at 10:43 to get more ice cream is a mood!

Just realized he maybe meant moo? :) or maybe both!

[@ashleighc8303]

Oh Lenny’s little outfit. The striped long sleeve top. I can’t 😭😇💕

[@jills7149]

You deserve nothing more than a break from work, as everyone does! It seems like the best place to do so!! Looks amazing over there, I wanna go!!

[@Bekkahbee]

I’ve been waiting for that intro to change! Haha this has to be one of my favourite videos so far ❤️ what a gorgeous place

[@krisg3984]

Alayna talking about all the striving to produce, but not enough time to let it all sink in. I think this is the silver lining of the pandemic in that we are all taking that unexpected breather

[@dwayners13]

Is it just me or is Riley’s looking like a John Lennon with those glasses? (BTW Seeing him getting a massage while sailing in paradise definitely brings to mind the saying “living the life of Riley”).

[@glenda6607]

Omg.I was about to say the same thing.John Lennon look a like for sure!

[@ArtHealsTheSoul]

He even sounds a little like John Lennon.

Love the new intro! Take all the time you need away from the laptop. I say work will always be there but memories won’t. Enjoy the time!

[@SailingREHAB]

Looks like some of our New Zealand scenery. Amazing !

[@barbradengle2034]

Riley and Elayna, your videos make it easier for us to survive being landlocked! We love your escapades and seeing how you're making the best of life. We really miss sailing, and you help us keep our dream alive. We spent a while in the Azores, and there's no lovelier place! And we enjoy seeing Lenny being so cute! Thank you for allowing us to share in your travels. Jef and Barbra

[@elisew5462]

Elayna and Bri at the end! 😂

[@glengamble526]

I think the name ‘The Hawaii of Europe’ is very apt! What an amazingly beautiful place, with scenery and vegetation very much like the islands of Hawaii. Incredible.

[@smetlogik]

LOVE the new intro! Time to buy a "summer home" on the Azores and turn it into an Airbnb for your subs. 😂

[@lavluvlov]

Salute, thanks for your videos and simple natural smiles and laughs

[@MichaelLanchester]

When turning anything with a thread....Remember - "Righty tighten, lefty loosen".

Take a break guys and just enjoy life....you have given plenty of that same joy to others by sharing your journey 😁

[@jcfartson7288]

Haven’t watched in a few months because I recently joined the military so I was away from electronics for a while and wow this episode was amazing felt like a little vacation into my phone ( I’m in the barracks right now)

[@aswan2140]

Ditto young man. America thanks YOU for your Service!!🇺🇸

[@emilyarriaga3086]

May God bless you and keep you safe. Thank you for keeping us safe.

[@TRichmond1964]

Riley, I really want to congratulate you! On what appears to be a big step up in your growth as a Captain ! Considering the needs and the safety of your vessel, and crew, as more important than any short term goal you may have; if your"re still in the Azores, may your trip continue to be the greatest! Keep on trucking, mate!

[@loviedovie6]

Elayna and Bre rapping Brett Eldredge absolutely made my night

[@k4gap]

I hardly ever comment because others say it better than I do but, you two were made for each other. Lenny is a very lucky little guy to have you two raising him, GREAT JOB!

[@Riveletion]

4:38 I don't know when or where this trick is gonna be useful for me but I have a feeling it will be eventually so I gotta remember it. Actually blew my mind
