She doesn't want to sail anymore..
#274 Seasickness..... It really messes with your head but fingers crossed we can resolve it and get back to the glory days of not feeling ill on sail. It certainly doesn't worry Lenny.
Sometimes you just gotta go for it, change it up, break some plans. Sometimes to keep it spontaneous, and sometimes just because the gods will strike us down if we leave a little later.
We're taking off for the next island in the Azores chain Sao Jorge, and we struggle in the shadow of Pico, the massive monolith in the middle of the Atlantic which is sending the winds crazy. Some experimental night sailing manoeuvres should see us through 🤞
Plus we tell you why we can eat a delicious fish where we are while you probably should eat it where you are. For the right reasons. If that made sense...

You can't sail AROUND the world, it's not a ball. You can sail in a circle around the land masses. My research has lead me to believe we are on a plane or in a realm. Not a ball in space, floating and spinning and flying around in four different directions. Let us know when you're sailing upside down or side ways, ha ha ha ha!
@The Shadow Thanks for the response. The insulting nature of the ball people is very telling. Folks don't want to understand we collectively live in a cartoon. It's not that big of a deal. People take this shit so seriously but, they DO NO REASERCH. It's just a riot! And I have fun with the ballers. Watching their eyes and veins bulge out of there heads and necks with anger over how stupid I am. HA HA HA HA, please.
@ Great Airship Music, You might as well forget it, none of these people insulting you have even questioned their flawed 16th century model. They all have used the usual, the dunning kruger, dont have kids, I was expecting the usual my cat would have rolled everything off the edge by now, etc. Believe me none of these people, especially Geoff the Jerkoff have never even considered they have been lied to and brainwashed. You can say hey I don't know what it is but it is not your 15th century Masonic lie and they will always claim they know this and that, but the reality is they can't prove any of it. Water always finds level, and no one can say trillions of tons of curved water are being held down yet You and I and everyone else can somehow resist all this huge force. I love these guys but if they have Greta with them that probably tells you all you need to know. She has no idea what is even going on but sure climate change, one world order is great, wear your mask, get your poison vaccine. No one will be laughing in the end when all their lies come crumbling down, it's called science fiction for a reason. The only thing they sent to space were peoples imaginations. This is revelation 9-21 to a tee and most people are brainwashed to believe the deceptions.
@JenS The Deplorable Texan Well judging by the way you are treating a stranger, I can't imagine how abusive and condescending you'd be to me if I was your husband. YOu can eat MY Grits!
@GreatAirship Music 🤤🤤🤤
@GreatAirship Music In other words, you absolutely are not marriage material…not by choice. Narcissism at its finest.
Elayna, what if you tried hypnosis to reduce your seasickness?
Ginger pills for seasickness works every time
Love your video's! All the best!
Andre is awesome. That’s it. That’s the tweet.
Seabands acupressure wrist bands worked well for me. Love your adventures, thanks for sharing .🙂
GRAVOL - motion sickness pills work good. They come in 10, 30 pill packs also there are 12hr GRAVOL and GRAVOL with Ginger.
I hate to say it but I never got seasick in my 20s. Then a little bit at 30 and after 35 I get seasick even swimming in choppy waters and vomit on any boat in calm waters without Dramamine. It can come with age too. (Booooh age 👎🏼)
Have you ever tried the patch that you stick behind your ear?
Chinese medecine can give a solution……weak spleen and stomac……go and see a chines herbale dokter……there are beautifull formulas like cardamon and saussurea comb succes!
As the others have said, the wrist bands worked for the grandchildren, like switching a light bulb off.
"I never get seasick." Until one day I did leaving out of Newport on a late fall delivery to St. Martin. For what it's worth Sturgeron is the only remedy I've ever see stop a bout dead cold in it's tracks after seasickness has started. Of course it is banned for US Americans as are effective Corvid medicines. OTC in the Dutch side of St. Martin and other countries throughout the world. I'm sure pregnancy is the trigger. Another reason why being a dirt person may not be a bad idea for a year or two!!
enjoyed watching your ventures, the mediteranean and adjoining atlantic truly beautiful, yet rugged, but beautiful.. btw, u guys are funny ;)
Avomine works its prescription....
Invest in and wear SEA BANDS. Great for pregnancy or any type motion sickness. Work great.
Last episode you were talking about oil. You need to oil that boy: he squeaks.
Besides travel sickness tablets that make me drowsy the only other thing that helps me are ear plugs or earbud headphones. Might not be feasible if you’re looking after a toddler though.
Sea bands help
Well, I belive Jesus can heal sickness, even seasickness. I can pray for you if you like. Love from Norway.
Who's the man that lives with them?
You could just move to dry land for a bit to let your son grow up. But still post so we can see all the adventures you guys go on we love you guys and we love watching you.
Elayna, hopefully you have solved your seasickness situation, but if not - I found that if I took one Bonine in the morning, kept ginger chews on hand to suck on when I started to feel queasy (sucking on them like a lozenge works better than chewing, imo, gives your mind something else to focus on and makes them last longer), and the big one - stayed on deck and KEPT MOVING when the swells are big - I totally kept my sea sickness at bay. When you don't feel well, you have a tendency to want to sit down and rest, but I found that if I kept my body moving along with the boat moving, my mind and body were less conflicted than when I was still and the boat was moving. Good luck and feel better!!
Why do you have a cat scratcher on the boat??
It may be impractical but I noticed that if I was steering my attention was focused and i did not get seasick. But it was a small boat that required concentration on the waves etc.
Same with driving a car you feel less sick if you are the driver!😎💕🎆🎇
I love watching your videos. I must say there too many old ones. More spearfishing please. And I want send a shout out to Sailing Zatara. They are great too. Peace and love to both families. Dennis
Only watched to see your reasons for giving up so I wish you luck but wont watch again.
as she gets pregnant again.
By, By !
Lenny making the bird sound was hilarious
I wonder if maybe CBD oil would help with the symptoms of sea sickness. Obviously not a cure for it but maybe help deal with the symptoms better?
Sadly not recommended while pregnant.
Hi guys, I love watching your videos and Lenny is too cute! I saw your comments about sharks (placing eyes at the back of your mask) and wondered if you know about Sharkbanz (it's a wrist band with a pulse to deter sharks), take a look at www.sharkbanz.com
Have you tried sea bands? I used them seemed to help.
Try ginger for seasickness. Make sure you take 100% real ginger, not the candy or teas that have ginger flavoring, which is not actually ginger.
Hey Elayna, i worked on ships for years and always suffered, did the same as you have and tried a bunch of different pills and none of them worked they just made me want to sleep. Until i got put onto a chemist just up the road in caringbah sydney. The Pharmacist came up with a sea sick pill for ET (from ET's fishing show on chanel 10) who struggled to shoot enough content for the show because of the amount he would be throwing up over the side. word is that he doesnt suffer at all anymore. I tried them and for the first time ever i feel 100% when its rough and i used to get pretty crook even when it was calm. I know you have probably heard a heap of comments with different things but do you self a favour and order these. as far as i know this chemist is the only place that makes them. It is Cincotta Discount chemist in caringbah (sydney). shop 1/331 kingsway, caringbah NSW 2229. Call them on (02) 9525-0309 or call 1300SEASICK and ask for ET's sea sick tablets. They are more expensive than the rest but its worth every cent not to be crook!!!
motion sickness -- MOTION EZ NO SIDE EFFECTS very effective! I no longer cruise, but always keep it on my boat, car & when I replace my plane it will be there as well! Good luck! Marc 760 822-4846 mdkhomes@gmail.com
Thrilled ive come across your channel ....watched 2 so far. I've subscribed. All the best.
Nice video of fish pooping 🤣
This Is a sailing show and you don’t want to sail? Well good luck you were 1/2 of the show I’m going to have to move on to my other sailors.
is it safe to swim in the marina area? I've read about people leaving a shorepower cable dangling and people getting hurt. or is that more of a North America thing?
Ginger works for us.
I love this my name is ELENA
Acupuncture can help with motion sickness.
Have you seen these anti sea sickness glasses? www.marinechandlery.com/anti-motion-sickness-sea-sickness-glasses-boarding-ring
Time to get a new girl. If she is sick all the time its time to find a new girl to travel with.You can always Skype
What a stupid comment wow.
HI Elayna...Have you tried the 'Epley Maneuver' for self treatment of your seasickness symptoms? It normalizes and balances your inner ear vestibular (balance) system. It is painless, quick and easy with no bad side effects. Commonly recommended by physical therapists. Lots of short NOworld instructional videos on this out there. Here's one: noworld.info/video/video/0IO3a8hupaXP1M0.html Good luck!
❤️ Happy New Year!
Riley needs a Tooth Brush Necklace.. yur Lookin Good Guys !!
6 years of sailing and you still get sea sick? Well you just killed any dream I had of sailing. I wondered if it was possible for me to overcome sea sickness in time. Now I know.
Fingers crossed that you find a way around the area sickness Elayna. It's ready to go sailing when you are having fun but to go out there and know you are going to be ill, that is not easy to do.
Maybe try a mono hull? Cats have a awful quick jerky motion
That is God telling you to raise your kid on LAND. He was not born with Gills. LOL However a healthy dose of both is good.
Seasickness...The first day you think you're going to die, the 2nd day...you hope you do.
I got motion sickness after having kids too. It's gotten better but I'm not sailing around the world like you are. Hang in there Elena.
My sister is a prof sailor and has been delivering boats offshore for 30+ years and she said that the #1 remedy for seasickness is marijuana.. literally has saved her mates from dehydration .. and being at deaths door!! This was discovered well before dispensaries and legalization... now it’s so easy - I would imagine now a gummy would be easy and no smoke.. or homemade infused brownies would serve the purpose... edibles are great for menopause also.
''NAVY BEAN'S,''ARE FOR SEA SICKNESSTHAT WHY THERE CALLED THAT.ALSO IF YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOAT,IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO BE.YOU WILL FEEL LESS ROCKING BACK AND FORTH,UP AND DOWN,ETC..LIKE A DOBBY HORSE IN A KID'S AREA.A KID SIT'S ON EITHER END,AND WHEN ONE SIDE GOES UP,THE OTHER SIDE GOES DOWN.SO''IF YOU STAND IN THE MIDDLE,YOU DONT FEEL ALL THAT MOVEMENT.SO YEA,WHEN YOUR SICK,STAY IN THE CENTER OF THE BOAT,AND EAT NAVY BEAN'S,AND IN YOUR CASE,MABY SLOW SLOW DOWN ON THE PRODUCTION OF LIL CUTE BABY'S.HOPE THIS HELP'S A LITTLE...BUT'' IF YOU CAN RETIRE,DO IT UNTIL THING'S GET BETTER.''FAIR WIND'S,AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL ABOARD YOUR VESSEL.DAVE.ALSO,FIND OUT WHAT NOT TO EAT WHEN SAILLING,ON A BOAT PREGNANT.THAT'S MY STORY,AND I'M STICK'ING TO IT.
Have a chiropractor put your rocks back in-line in the eardrum
We’ve been watching you for years now and enjoy all your videos and adventures. I’m a diver and spend quite a bit of time in the Gulf of Mexico. I ended up with a motion sickness remedy called Quease-EASE in my dive bag. I’ve used it a few times and My girlfriend uses it frequently. It’s all natural, may want to give it a try.
Try using raw ginger!
Seasickness? Keep a brand muffin at the ready to eat asap when symptoms start... I would carry one in my pocket during heavy air to chomp on. Discovered it by accident when super hungry and sick during a storm and for some reason it worked every time. Who knew!
I knew she was going to want to stop. Since day one. This life is too hard for most people. I don't know what it is that is so hard but it is. Such a beautiful boy, he will miss the sea.
I love this chanell. I want to sail around the world but my wife gets terrible motion sickness. Probably not on the cards for us! But, just in case ...Is there a video on this chanel where they go over the costs? How much is a boat like the vagabond? Annual costs?? That’d be very interesting
nothing worse than being seasick best way to lose weight
You have tried the wrist bands? Accupuncture? prescription patches worn behind the ear?
New life when you have a kid...but stick with it and as an astronomer I can assure you that indeed the planet is round ...
Tried the sea sickness bands? honestandtruly.com/sea-bands-review/
Bracelets for sea-sickness!!!! They have helped me alot and I get easily seasick! They are basically bracelets you put on each wrist half an hour BEFORE you sail - they have a tiny half ball on it which you place on your wrist on a specific spot (read instructions for this) and it acts like a tricker point/pressure point :D I can really recommend this - please look into this and see if you are able to find some - otherwise I will love to find some here in Denmark and ship them to you
Fast, Effective Nausea Relief I GRAVOL™ MIGHT HELP WITH SEA SICKNESS!!!
Binge watching I'm hooked
"She doesn't want to sail anymore.." Why would she with 3.000.000 in the bank?
@joses box they already have the boat and continuously keep disappearing. 🤔
If I had 3M I’d buy a boat and disappear
they have $3 mil?
I sailed from Darwin to Grenada in 2018/19 with a couple of people on a single boat. The 1st mate was in her 60s and every time we started a passage, she put seasick patches behind her ear for the first day or two of passage. After that she was fine. Every time. Not sure if that's an option for you or not, but some people just get sick on the first day or two and then they're fine. Good luck! I'm interested in learning more about this VR stuff. medium.com/global-hitchhiking #LivingLargebyLivingLittle
Sooo. I recently bought a SEASICKNESS watch for my wife and it seemed to work well for her. You can easily get this on Amazon, look for antinausea wristband, it works by sending an electric pulse into the median nerve in your wrist. Might be worth trying. Thanks for the content.
Hey! You've probably tried this already, but I'm gonna put it out here for you just in case you haven't. I used to get really travel sick, on a bus, planes, trains and boats, and nothing would help. Then I discovered ginger tablets, and they've really done the trick for me. Now I can travel anywhere in any form of transportation without getting nausea or getting sick. I know that not all countries have these, like Spain for example, they didn't have it at either the pharmacy or the health food and supplements stores there, but maybe you can find it somewhere else, since you guys are all over the place. I hope this will work for you too! :) Here's a link to one example. :) Cheers from Norway! :) gravol.ca/en/product/ginger-tablets/
She's said that before....Having a child makes things a little different. A woman wants a house.... I've been there...You can still have a boat....Mom wants a house....My son is now 22 and on his own....
I've seen Hypno therapy work wonders on people who have sea sickness.
This is beautiful, love from Kenya 🇰🇪
antihistaminics works really well on me and killed the seasickness at 80%. The kill my IQ too during 4 hours too. You can't have it all i guess
I was navy for 13 years never been myself but most people get seasick when they can’t see the waves something about the eyes not seeing the movement the inner ear senses seems to make the body think it’s been poisoned and try to get the bad out. If Elayna’s seasickness goes away after the first day she should try spending that day on watch it could help.
Don't go after parrot fish in Bermuda... it is a protected species. Thank you!
Oh my god why would you place the 17:40 clip in there! I am eating breakfast!
Have you tried putting a earplug in one ear? It works wonders for my wife and kid even after they are seasick.
Please do check out Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) - It will empower you to self-treat in the most natural way (and the internet is full of free how to videos!)
I always found eating a carb meal before sailing out would stop the sickness. It's beacuse you use energy and sailing on an empty stomach is like working out on an empty stomach 🤢🥵
Elayna, pick up a VR headset (Oculus Quest 2) and play some VR games to help you develop that comfort. Take dramamine to help cut down the discomfort while training your mind. I take an anti-anxiety med that actually really helps with nausea too.
Next time you stop by Hawaii I can help you guys with the VR stuff 😂🤣
There is a study that shows that if you put a tens machine, one lead on the top of your skull and the other on your shoulder, (The polarity is important) this fixes sea-sickness. It was easily double-blind tested by reversing the polarity. The Tens machine I bought wasn't powerful enough. Gamers use this technique to increase their reflex speed. Do your own research.
Well personally i need my house and my friends, and family and dogs and hobby farm. That being said sailing is something i love doing, but im more of a seasonal sailer. Never travel the world being that type, but you get the best of both worlds. I love you guys, always have since inwatch your first video. One things for sure, i go with my lover. Because good love is hard to find.
Elayna- what is your middle name? We are naming our baby girl Elayna and trying to find some middle name inspirations! Love y’all! Thanks.
Power through it, don't lay down, drink lots of water and it will soon become old news. There are tons of fishing boat captains who get sick every time they go to sea, that's why you'll always see a window that opens at the helm. Good Luck
The only way to fix seasickness is to stand under a gum tree, however, for temporary relief try acupressure. I love what you’re doing, my wife and I did it for 6 years with 4 kids. Our biggest mistake was to stop. Tailwinds to you.
or just sail more to get used to it? longer passages more often? edit: or maybe go the 'hair of the dog that bit you' route lol, have another kid
You are probably spending more time inside looking down since you got Lenny. Like reading in a moving car.
Why do I always feel so relaxed every time I watch your videos? 🥺 Such a great and wonderful content. Love you guys all the way here from Philippine💖
Listen to the universe. Listen to your body. It is time to give it up. You guys can always hit the seas again in 15 or 20 years and have another go. It was never going to be forever anyway, nothing is. Lenny deserves a better life than being stuck on a boat his whole life, or at some port where you all don't really know anyone. It was a romantic life for a while, but it is time to go a different route. You can transition your youtube stuff, your core audience will still be with you. You can't be afraid of what you will lose, just think about all there is to gain. You look tired and I can tell from years of watching you all that yall are underfed and malnourished in certain key vitamins,minerals, and fats as well as overworked, sailing is very grueling and the lack of support system gets very lonely over time, it happens to even the best salty dogs. That is also probably why you are getting so sick these days. Your nerves are closely related to the amount of animal fat you eat. A mainly vegetarian/pescatarian diet always leads to problems with energy, auto immune issues, nervousness, and general mental stress. I love you guys, don't take my comments the wrong way, but something came over me to send this message and I hope it finds you well.
"underfed and malnurished?" U mean they are not fat? Yes they are not fat.....
I get seasick too as a sailor.. not as open water as you guys though! Not sure if you’ve heard this one, but it works for me. If you eat apple cores, it stops the seasickness. Random, but effective
Get ginger for nausea. Candy ginger pretty good you just chew on it. They make a tea too.
At 5:04 there’s a stowaway steeling food on your back deck
Haven’t watched in a bit , congrats on the child , u guys are a beautiful family
Good ol natural Ginger can help sea sickness.... well settle an upset stomach.
I would agree, if you haven’t already tried “transderm scopolamine” prescribed by a doctor. It’s a patch you wear behind your ear and blocks the signal to the brain preventing you from getting sick. Once my body adjusted, I then only wore half a patch. Something to consider if you haven’t tried already. Good luck
For sea sickness, definitely keep some ginger on board, and get some Sea Bands! They are pressure point bands you wear on your wrist, and they are very helpful. I’d also recommend finding an acupuncturist next time you’re in port! Good luck!
Ginger!!! Thats what the navy does.. good luck
