  1. Hope Ellies arm is doing better!!!! thats freaky. careful for infection.. sometimes infections cause swelling like that.

  2. Let’s be very clear here, we love seeing you daily! It’s a lot for you, but I can say, seeing you and your family every day kinda spoiled me!😂 Great video!

  3. This is my opinion as a person who worked as a boat delivery from a neighboring country. Foreigners also need a license to sail in Japan. It is illegal to sail without a license if it is not non-powered or not for the purpose of participating in an international yacht competition. However, foreigners who visit are not given the opportunity to obtain a license. Only those who have a visa for more than 3 months and have an address in Japan can take the certification test.

    In fact, you must obtain customs clearance every time you move from one port to the next in Japanese territorial waters. The Japanese coast guard sometimes takes issue with these regulations and sometimes turns a deaf ear. It is unpredictable when and why such a law will apply it. Japan has too many cases where the surface and the real thing are different. Laws related to yachting are too complicated, unrealistic, and costly. You cannot moor your pleasure boat in an unspecified place unless it is an expensive marina. In other words, the Japanese have few freedom on the sea. They are not even allowed to swim beyond the life guard line on the beach. They should go to the sea not for pleasure but to show compliance with the law. I think that's the main reason why it's so rare for a person to enjoy sailing in Japan.

    Japan is beautiful country and also my favorite destination, so I hope Japan can be modernized.

  4. I think you guys are already doing what most people in retirement would love to do. Kudos to you, and savor all those wonderful times with your family and crew!

  5. BetterHelp plug 🤣😆 Dying of laughter!!! OMG! Funniest part of the video by far and in all videos for a long time! Bravo! And then the transition to the story about the laundry…beep, beep, beep…🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the great videos that this tremendous laugh!

  6. Ellie looks like she might have a staph infection. I was just a glimpse but from a distance it had the look of staph to me. It may not be a bad idea to get it looked to by a doctor. Sorry to cause worry but better safe than sorry.

  7. **I’m willing to become an emotional support animal….can I request porcupine?**

  8. Who you callin' dumbas*? Speak yourself and make me a sandwich! BTW, I got the Sea People app, finally! Blessings.

  9. Elayna, great job with all the videos. I know it has been an enormous amount of work and I have enjoyed every single episode immensely. No one films and tells a story quite like you do. Thanks again.

  10. Never tire of your videos. This one was another good one! Japan seems lovely, though the poisonous creatures do give me pause.
    Riley's betterhelp promo was great.

  11. Pro Fishing Tip! 🎣
    If the boys are right handed, move the reel handle over to the left side. If you can teach them to hold the rod in the right hand and reel with the left hand, they'll never have to swap hands after casting. (They'll thank you when they're older and catch way more fish than their Dad and friends.)
    👍😁👍

  12. Aussie here from Sydney. Sorry guys, but what happens when pirates get their hands on all the information about location, boat type etc from your app? Doesn't that present exposure and danger? All that aside, love your channel and all that comes with it. Proud of you!

  13. I have really enjoyed having more frequent posts from you guys. Keep it up – loving it.🙏 Love your boat – However, I think I would have a covered cockpit for sun and weather protection;. Spending some time on your boat would be amazing. Aloha from a fellow Aussie expat now living on Kauai in Hawaii for 50 years.

  14. Hey!! I am located in Motueka at the top of the South Island of NZ if Ellie needs a place to park up! We are 5 minutes away from the start of the Abel Tasman and id LOVE to show her around!

  15. Another great epi but in regard to Typhoons mate,the other option is don't sale in the monsoon season which now July to Dec.😊 I have sailed the Philippines/Thailand a lot over the years with no probs even sailing a hobi cat in a Cat 3 Typhoon😅

  16. Elaina u deserve a medal girl all that u take on n Riley too manning a boat keeping track of everything on it n racing against weather to keep everyone safe. Just amazing this channel ty for gifting us a peek into ur life it's like a movie!

  17. The tunes and the editing!!! Extremely well done. I could yap about everything I love in this episode and it would take a while. 🔥🔥👌👌

  18. Loving this daily video thing. I know it's not sustainable for you guys but I've totally enjoyed it !!!
