      Aren't all sea planes flying catamarans? They have two hulls as their landing gear. 😂

    best guests yet. I really like the interview of the guests and i think it should become a regular thing. Its really nice hearing about them and what they have to say

    Just getting to all these old episodes, I started watching after the Nate and Kara episode. You can tell this is one of your good “mates” as he is not shy about ribbing you about the water!

    I just really have to say, when I watch your video's.....my 99 problems just seem to fade away & I find myself with a smile on my face. I want to thank you for that folks.

  • @lonniecollier699

    I watch your videos all the time. Very much enjoyed them. Sailing is on my bucket list. Back in 2004 I almost bought a 34 foot.
    To this day I regret not buying the sailboat. I have yet to sail, but I haven't given up hope. I had actually got to the point of signing the paperwork to buy that 34 foot boat, however at that time maybe it was meant to be. And 05 hurricane Rita hit , and many sailboats were destroyed. I have been a professional photographer for 34 years and I documented all of the destruction on the south east of Texas. Referring to pleasure Island and Crystal Beach. I've had a boat all my life but not a sailboat .
    The largest boat was an American offshore 31 ft. race boat. I love boating so much and would like to sale is a dream I have on my bucket list. For the moment I live that dream through watching your videos. Keep it up and be thankful you have had this opportunity. Life is very short at it's best❤️👍

    Riley and Elena your videos are like a short vacation, respite if you will from everyday life. You're exceedingly nice down to earth folks...."salt of the earth" if you will.

    This is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. The granite hillsides down to the clear water and classic old european town - I really want to visit this area! Great video!!

    • @dommynovvy7568
      @dommynovvy7568 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I got back from Maddalena 10 days ago, not on a boat though. Breathtaking, Caprera is probably the most beautiful place I ever saw - but every island is magnificent, and wild, and historic, and the sea is amazing.

  • @diverbob8
    @diverbob8 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice guys! Hey Elayna, your moon walk brought back some memories! Picture about half a meter of ice instead of the hull of the boat with bright sun over head and your in a drysuit and scuba, up side down walking on a glowing moon! One of the coolest scuba experiences ever! Put it on your bucket list for when you get to the frozen north! Lol

  • @nicholasbylsma6379
    @nicholasbylsma6379 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's really nice watching your videos, You and Riley are one of the sweetest couple's on the Sailing channel's.
    You have a beautiful home and it's so good of you to invite Patrons onboard to share in your adventures.
    Keep living the dream and stay safe 😙

    Flying dinghies are at least 13 years old - I saw one in Georgetown, Bahamas in 2004. I was only 8, but it was one of those things that sticks out in your memory. Cool stuff!

  • @aquasurfer9
    @aquasurfer9 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Super video. It must be hard moon walking upside down. Water in nose. I Rick approve of Elaynas Swimsuit selection. The 5 hours a day of editing is appreciated. Pretty cool flying dinghy. I hope the guests get their boat and do some sailing.

  • @deejones354
    @deejones354 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice work! Thanks.... music was not only great, but your editing of it in and out was equally good! I can see why the guy said that you all spent 4- 5 hours a day each doing it ! Well the results are the fruit ! Thanks again!!!

    @michaelj.maschio48 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    My friend here in Palm Beach, FL has one and I'll send you a picture. He is not licensed to fly over land but keeps it on his charter dive boat and launches it and retrieves it always in water...and no, I won't fly with him as self-taught pilots are not well know for obvious reasons !!
    Love following you guys and hope to have a treat for you soon.
    Cheers,
    Michael

    @sotarapop9542 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I bought a boat.... inspired by you. I’m a former welder from the oil and gas industry and I took the plunge. I’ve never been so nervous and happy at the same time. If I can have HALF the adventures of you, I will die a happy man.... trading in my blue collar and work boots for a straw hat and sandals

    Rile's, we used to run the genoa around the mast racing a 36 ft tri, er, 100 yrs ago, faster than sheeting in too, but mate THAT was a huge head sail to run around, well bloody done!

  • @paolomazzoni9798
    @paolomazzoni9798 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sardinia has one of the best sea in the world with great food and wine...immagine that I learnt how to sail there at 11...30 years ago, and I used to sleep near Spiaggia Rosa when was open to public with the sleeping bag and do fire before sleeping! No wonder why I am an ocean addicted now! :) thanks for sharing! keep the souls beautiful! :) aloha!

    @15:08 Riley, I couldn't agree more......which is why I got my Light Sport Pilots license and bought a weight shift aircraft. They're a fantastic way to check out nature....although watching your vids over Thanksgiving has got me thinking. ; )

    Thanks for sharing this episode. It is so interesting to see your progress around the Mediterranean. I also wanted to tell you all that I thought that Elayna's H2O broadcast was a very interesting program as well. I had no idea that there were Sun powered boats around like the one that you showed.

  • @surifngmikey
    @surifngmikey 7 ปีที่แล้ว +47

    the black ink is from squid. I do a lot of squidding and knew exactly what it was before you asked. Great fun to catch. get a squid jig and cast around weed beds

    • @1simao2
      @1simao2 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      At these depths will most likely be cuttlefish or octopus and not squid, I do some spearfishing here in Portugal and when they drop the ink the effect is the same.

    Amazing! Fireworks over Palau - must have been the night of 4th of September at 10.30 p.m.... My boat was in the harbour of Palau, too. We were watching this spectacle from the coastline and had no clue that our famous and beloved sailors Elayna and Riley were so close to us. Next time we check on marine traffic.com if you're at the same time in the same place - so we can invite you for dinner or pizza :-) in order to say "thank you so much for sharing your journey around the world with us...". Keep on traveling and posting your perfect edited amazing videos. Kindest regards, Guido

    Hi guys those flying dinghy's have been around since the 1980's. Used to be a boating TV show in Brisbane and the host had one on his boat he used regularly fly on the show. Unfortunately can't recall the name of the show? But love your work Cheers Noel

    Hi guys I like your videos,keep up the good work :)
    That black ink is from a squid or a cuttlefish,I saw that often while spearfishing in Croatia.
    Also I remember when I was a kid there was a guy in my town who had a flying dinghy.I think he had some accident or something so he stoped flying.
    Best regards :)

    • @texasyankee3512

    Im a birdwatcher, we anchored in that area a few years ago and also heard those birds - they are called Cory’s Shearwater. What is unusual is that they usually make that sound during the night, we never heard them during the day.

  • @pauljames9527
    @pauljames9527 6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @davisdonnell55
    @davisdonnell55 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Riley- You gotta pick up a fluid transfer pump. A tube goes down through the dipstick and will pull all of the oil out of the pan. Just heat up the engine a bit to get the oil viscosity up and suck away!

    • @abeswells2514
      @abeswells2514 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Davis Donnell . Heat does not raise viscosity. it lowers it.
      Less viscous = more fluid
