ONE WEEK to Prepare for 16 Days at Sea (Atlantic Crossing)
#291 Join us as we sail down from Madeira to Tenerife. Jack and Andre join us on board to prepare for the Atlantic crossing back to the warm weather, clear water and fish galore. We're excited but there's lots to do before the boys were ready to go. I (Elayna) was more than happy to sit this one out. Pregnant, seasickness, toddler, I'm sure you understand - haha!
6 years ago we crossed the Atlantic with Jack. If you'd like to revisit it, you can watch it here:

Crazy to think how much has changed since then. Jack has gone from having never sailed to sailing obsessed. Having just introduced him to paragliding, I can foresee a new obsession on the horizon.

Could Jack please share his Broccoli Lemon Garlic and Chilli pasta recipe?
If ever I had a superpower it would be flying. This video was so cool. Great fun to watch.
Yeah Andre and Jack are in the House!!
Meditating? you have no idea how good that is for you.. Blessings to all of you🙏💕⭕
Yes we do. Blessings to you too amigo. 🙌🏼
11:40 Emergency escape plan. Head but the window open, Australian style. Oi Oi Oi.
Thanks for flying with my music! :D Have a listen to the full track on Spotify, you might parachute with Elayna and Riley! open.spotify.com/track/3pIHCyomibGo5rMUg7vChQ?si=902e12a7f8744249
Recession in 2016....?
Enjoy your videos.
What good friends to have!
Elayna needs an eye cream
haven't watched in a long time ... what awesome videos you guys are still making.. they just keep getting better !! yo ho Lenny !
So we're just not gonna say anything about Lenny seasoning Elayna's food with his boogies?
Hey! I am proud that you have finally visited my island. 🗻 I trust you had a very happy stay on this land. I especially loved that tender and hopeful scene (13:40) through the innocent and amazed eyes of the 'big brother'. 😇 😊 🥰 🥰 Best of health and good luck to all of you and your families! 😘 👋👋
Good luck looks like you have a good crew
You can use vinegar to clean metals and surfaces and any thing really. For the clicker you just need to deep it into a bowel of vinegar for about an hour (or less) and every some time take it out and rub it to clean the rust away. It should be clean as new. Hope that helps in the future.
Anytime you want paint or silicone sealer to stick wipe the area down first with rubbing alcohol. It degreases and lets things stick proper.
Letting Riley single hand TransAtlantic? With a couple other guys around? Hopefully not single handing mom with two kids... The sea eats boats at times
I crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Cape Town to St Helena and onto Fortaleza, Brazil on the 5th of July. Omg what an absolutely amazing experience that was. Enjoy it all.
Gonna say it because I know I'm not the only one: How many females get mesmerized by Riley's eyes....what a gorgeous man (with a gorgeous woman and child).
Its a girl
Can you say where you got the scan? That’s my parents business and I think it’s ungrateful to tell where it is and how it’s called. So I will say it myself: it’s called Ginefem and it’s at Santacruz de Tenerife. Street: Pi y Margall. One of the best doctors around the island.
Nice work but what’s going on with all the Corona???
3:05 I JUST SPAT WATER EVERYWHERE AHAHAHAH, that sent me sailing HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, that was HILARIOUS HAHAHAHAH
Hey the Trailer Park Boys, my locate buds. Cheers 🇨🇦
You are going to my birth place. It warms my heart that you said it correctly.
Andre is The MAN!!!! Love you guys!!!! I wathc your videos since the beginning!!!!! Hugs from southern Brazil!
what kind of camera set up do you use? I love your videos!
👍
16:40 I've flown there before!!! :-D EDIT: Wait, Tom De Dorlodot is an xAlps pilot/athlete! I've followed him racing in 2017 and 2019!
It's like s.. s.. sailing in the sky! 19:45 ...choosing his words wisely!
When are you both crossing Atlantic, I'm a seaman sailing in car carrier and right now we are in Turkey
Based on your reaction I’ll bet anyone 100 that it’s a boy lol. 100%
So nice to see that you treat ends of rope exactly the same way that I do 😂
as a canadian I cannot explain how awesome the Jim Lahey shout out is
I loved the time lapse of the mountains! Absolutely breathtaking
you are disgusting everybody hates you, trust fund bastards, go to hell and stay there
Good for you, I am so happy that you are pregnant. Congratulation Elayna!!!!
20:20 Music a vibe
EXPERT = EX latin(??) for Drip and PERT under pressure........ You found the problem, so definitely not an expert . lol :)
Looks like you did not use through bolts/backing plate to mount the bracket for back-up autopilot? It is not a shear load...
Love ❤️ Love your videos! Good Luck 🍀 on the crossing ! See you somewhat closer to the USA 🇺🇸 Sail on my friends...........
I’m currently in the process of moving to an apartment for the first time and I’ve been so stressed. Every time I watch it really is an escape from reality. Love from NJ.
Hi bro, you can try sailing to Komodo National Park
yayyyy andre's back!
wow 2 years ... time moves so fast seems just the other day I added you and that must be 3 years now
Safe travels to all of you.
Concrats to be the number one on NOworld, we enjoy every week your video’s
Congrats on Lennys new brother, be safe heading to Antigua, can't wait to see next week 💙🐟⛵⛵⛵💑
Loved this vlog. Like the guy who's with you on this voyage. What was his chilli pasta like. Looked delicious. Lenny is so big now. Hi andre. Welcome back on board. Take care all. Can't wait for the next vlog when Riley sails the Atlantic crossing. Xxxx
Andre & Jack looked like two smart dudes meditating..

Those pivot pins on the Pelagic autopilot shear off at the base, I have broken 3 of them. Now I use SS threaded rod cut to length, it bends before it breaks so its easier to replace.
Atlantic Crossing!!! Bing SaFe Is #1!!! HaVe FuN Is #2!!! @JustinTrudeau @CBCNewsNational @FuzzyLtd #FuzzyLtdTM ^^^^"LIVE LIKE JAY"^^^
Advanced happy birthday leny
Boy or girls it's a blessing
When was this record
This video makes me feel so proud of you guys 🥲 look at the little family you’ve created, both biological and by heart. Just beautiful 🤍
Namaste Andre!
Lenny at dinner with his finger in his nose, priceless 😂
I wanna toss Andre a few bucks for his boat.
Don’t limit people with your point of view Elayna-it looks like Andre is really meditating.
I say boy
hey Jesse Pinkman came down
I literally love for Your videos!
Bogan high windspeed alarm; a Milo tin half full of nuts and bolts left on the table.
You guys are awesome. I'm so jealous of the life you live. I have a lot of questions but I won't bother you with them. Stay safe
noworld.info/dev/3c8PW1C5kJGbCRjFJoTDwA
Good luck for the crossing. When are you leaving ?
What is ondrays utube channel
Omg you will be very close to my country, Dominican Republic 😍😍😍 love you're videos.
Andre don’t let Elena’s giggling making fun of you Deter you from 🧎. She’s young and will develop more supportive behavior as she gets older. 🤷♂️
loved this video so much thank you guys!
um Marry me jack? haha
I hope this is a sailing channel again soon.
Your solo? We will pray for you that God will send His Angel's to attend you.
And always wear yr life jacket.
Please watch carefully the earthquake activity, tsunamis activity. They said you can view weather waves 3 weeks in advance
-- Very nice content (balanced mix) and editing (timing, exposure, and audio) . . . _It's a pleasure to share your experiences, vicariously. _*_Thank you._*
I think the second child makes the sail life style impractable at best.....I think you need to rethink everything....U had a good seven years but babies are special and U need to make a change....both of U are highly intelligent and can re-invent yourself in your native country....good luck..........I have enjoyed your travel...but from the view of my bed.......
I still can't grasp the fact you're having another baby 🥺😍
👋👋👍
didn't expected to see a boat from Brussels and Tom de Dorlodot with la vagabonde :p

I'm working 6-7 days a week at the moment as a nurse. I look so forward to watching your weekly vid. It makes my week, makes me happy. Takes my mind off of my life , ill people and vaccinating non stop. Thanks guys!
@Phil Weissburg it's my pleasure, every little bit helps
Thanks for your devotion to people and their health.....
Lenny's birthday! 2! Already!!)
OK I haven’t even finish this- I’m only in three minutes and 10 seconds and that Riley hip-hop was hysterical 😁🤣🤣. Good one!
Top rate video, so cool. The skills, amazing. The entire episode, fantastic.
Loved seeing the baby on the ultrasound! Thank you for appreciating life and for being ProLife!
You can have a baby and be pro-choice. 😂 You are REACHING.
I grew up in a family of seaman and later served in the US Navy myself. You can never underestimate how much work needs to be done on boat or ship at any given time. I admire your consciousness and seeing this aspect of your adventures as a family.
Great adventures....stay safe...
Andre is just adorable. Glad to see him back!
wow , lenny is 2 now happy birthday dear lenny happy birthday to you ...and another good vid strikes again guys ,,, c ya 's next time .
my elder son did his first tandem jump at Fiesch in the Swiss alps, excellent fun, he was 12 ;) I thought my wife was gonna kill me...
You need 2 ,6 inch L brackets one on each side of the vertical board and run bolts through it and bolts on both sides of the horizontal peice and use lock washers that will hold it tight but run the bolts on the vertical peice through both L brackets add sandwich the vertical piece in between them
OUTREMER owes you guys a debt of gratitude. You have actually shown them what their boats can do over the long haul and where the weak points are helping them to make structural reinforcements and improvements for future boats down the production line. Great work Riley!!
I thought that I saw a turtle on that scan
It will be a girl, bet my boat on it
Im sure you guys have lots of people offering advice, forgive me. On the winches i use grease on the bearing and gear surfaces, and 90wt gear oil on the pawls. The viscosity of the grease determines how easy it is to freewheel, and oil base grease seems to last longer around salt water. "Lewmar" winch grease is popular around here and is a great choice over synthetics, but grease on the pawls can make them stick resulting in the winch jumping. It is absolutely possible to overtighten the steering cables, resulting in undue wear and friction. That crack could have come from the boat getting pushed backwards by a passing wave (like when you're hove-to or reefing), and doesn't mean the boat is the least bit unreliable or poorly engineered as some have speculated. If you could possibly end-for-end your main halyard it will help the block twisting a bit, but the twists that are in the halyard now are not going to magically disappear as they have been "load-set". It looks like your VHF whip is missing from the coil at the masthead, it will work a lot better if you put an antenna at the top end of the co-ax. 3db should be fine on a multihull where the antenna is mostly going to be perpendicular to the horizon. I do not personally think it is irresponsible to sail to Antigua alone, but before leaving I would have a written checklist for the day you arrive because you're going to be pretty punchy. Anchoring up in Falmouth would be a lot easier under those circumstances than trying to manoueuvre around English Harbor, for example, when you're not at optimum. At least half of the deliveries I've done were alone; it's not a hairball concept. Best of luck on your passage, i am always so impressed with your abilities. Thank you.
I don't know what the delay is from real time to your Monday posts, but if Y'all are still on Tenerife, look up an awesome lady, Sheila Collis in La Tierra del Trigo. She is a good friend of mine and the former Editor of Island Connections, as far as I am aware, the largest English Newspaper in the Canaries. I wish I hadn't fallen behind on watching your posts, I caught up tonight. Wish I could have sent that info to you guys sooner.
Hey guys, Glad to hear you're coming back to Antigua. I sent you an email with my contact info. Love your videos. Hope to see you when you get here. Safe passage in the meantime.
