We Sailed 912 Nautical Miles to get here. Giddy up 🤙
#267 "I don't get blown away like this ever, I'm a jaded old traveller..."
It was all worth it. Out in the middle of the Atlantic is a paradise we can barely describe and we're so lucky to be here given that 2020 was, well, a 2020 of a year. Seriously, this place is like someone took all the calm-inducing environments and mashed them together:
🌄Rolling green fields
🏞Jungle waterfalls
🏖Seaside towns
😀Deer
There's so much to explore in the Azores, we're gonna settle down for a while and show you guys all it's got to offer.

Riley, try hypnosis for pain management and good old yoga to stretch stuff out.
Riley “Imagine going through life never seeing this...I don’t get blown away like this EVER” 😁 Pretty sure he’s declared at least 30 places his top 5 ...I still believe him
Lefty loosie, righty tighty
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❤️
My sis and her bf went to the other side of the island for the day. #bigisland
I had nothing to do for new years so i binged your videos while babysitting my little nephew nugget guy.
When is Lenny going to learn to swim?
Love the new Lenny segment in the intro!
Yay! I’ve been thinking lately that it was time to update the intro! Bravo! Love you guys keep rocking!
The third afternoon putatively heap because road epidemiologically pop than a piquant armenian. barbarous, decorous payment
The Bahamas, the Azores, and what was the last one..?
That waterfall at 7:51 it's called Salto do Cabrito (jump of the goat) and it's perfect for rappelling:)
LOL, never seen any of you in blue jeans but that would be a treat for sure. Didn’t you have a 3 day long birthday just 5 episodes ago? LOL, going to age too quickly having so many birthdays!. (I’m skipping through)
Diagnosis: old age creeping in, hate to tell ya. My back hurt at age 29 from my son wanting to be held nonstop and too much racquetball (and shoveling snow and ice hockey). Got it x-ray’d and doctor told me guys come in every day with back pain, and it’s simply that our backs are not meant to stand up and we injure them. Pain mostly went away a few years later.
Did Bre work on Below Deck?
I miss my island São Miguel so much. 😢
👍
What was the Bahamas, Azoles, and what?
"Bahamas, Azores and,,," What was the third one? 13:33
"But you don't want to fall apart at 50" (9:50) Is Riley 50? If so he looks great for his age:-)
What was the third place? Bahamas, Azores, and what is the third place he said?
you always have the nicest choice of background tunes
What is the story with the Stache?
Riley. Australian for skinny dipping continents.
Noo I’m three weeks behind! Time to binge 😅
#moments
What a breathe taking place! This was one of my fav episodes. Awesome guys! :) x
More rap songs for sure~!!
Sail sail sail travel those Places.
I’m guessing there was alcohol involved during the girls musical interlude.?😳😮🥂
Thank you for reminding me how much my life blows
It is very much like Hawai'i. I was born in Honolulu. My family has been in Hawai'i since the mid 1870s. They emigrated from....THE AZORES! Climate, water temps etc are very similar. Plantation owners in Hawai'i recruited from The Azores for that reason, along with economic challenges in The Azores. People of the time could not own private property. They left for a better life. Obrigado.
Love the new intro xxx
Nice intro! Riley- Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey :o)
I'm so glad the intro finally changed! It's great!
I swear Lenny just suddenly grew up overnight
lovely child !
Beauty 👏👏💐💐
Yeaaaaa we are back with you guys here in Denmark ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍 so glad to follow you again, trust me it’s been hard 😢to many beers 🍻 waiting 😉👍
Dairy ice-cream makes you feel like muuu muu mu mu.
Holy Shitballs, that joint is amazeballs, great vid once again guy’s can’t wait to see more 👍
byeeeeeee xo
Thank you for updating your intro!
I really love this channel everytime I watch a video it makes me feel happy and I forget about stresses in my life you guys are awesome! lenny is getting big I have a 4yo it's crazy how fast they grow cheers.
Ah I knew exactly where you were just from the thumbnail 🥺 my grandparents and many of my aunts, uncles, and cousins live there and i love getting to visit them glad you had a good time
If you're going to induldge in a steak while at the Azores, the stone steak at O Cachalote Restaurante on Terceira Island is by far the best steak myself and my husband have EVER had in our lives. Loved our time in the Azores last year and hope y'all have as great of a time as we did!
Just got back from fighting fires in Northern California and trying to catch up with ya'll. At 1:33, Is Alayna skipping???? LOL! And at 10:00, Fall apart at 50? Riley, that's a long way off for you mate! The shots of the island look like New Zealand - beautiful!!!
Is Bri from Rhode Island? In America!? Like born and raised there? I’m from RI and I notice her accent sounds like everyone here except sometimes I hear a bit of an Irish or Scottish accent break though!
One of my favourite episodes all time. Maybe it’s is more of the family time and you guys having fun with it all.
Love to see you all living life on the ocean and watching baby Lenny growing 😘👍
Ok so who is Bree... friend, family, helper ?
If I say David Niven, what happens?
Yeah.... new intro... its awesome
Fun fact: at 37 degrees north of the equator, Ponta Delgada is the exact opposite to Melbourne which is 37 degrees south.
The treatment for a cracked rib is very limited. You wear a body wrap, kinda like a gusset, and get bed rest and have painkillers if required. That's it. I wouldn't stress if you continue with life but just at a gentle pace. You'll still recover like that if you have cracked a rib.
Your adventure, has been mine... Thank you for taking me along!
There are oil filter wrenches with fiber ribbon to open the water filter. Available at car component and maybe DIY stores and amazon of course.
Great new intro, scenery is spectacular, your editing gets better every week, and the RAP session made me laugh out loud! Stay in the Azores for a month.
Riley TOTALLY wrote the title 😂
MAGICAL AND UNREAL.
I like only Riley's part of the vlog ... Let Riley do most of the talking please ...
First of all ''Rightsy, Tightsy / Lefty, Loosey" Second of all get a strap wrench, they work great on things like that.
Except gas
I love your videos so much that, even though I have watched them all, I’ll watch them again (from de beggining). Miss the monohull La Vaga !!!! Hugs
Looks like New Zealand!
Love the way y’all “ keep it real”. Secret note to Riley. I taught all four of my little ones to say when I asked how much you love me and they say Big Big. And then I ask how much you love mom and they would say one big. Haha just joking mom. Lol enjoy the little one. They grow up fast.
Ouuu I’m exciteddd to go to the Azores❤️I go to Suny Maritime College and we are planning to do our cruise to the Azores the coming summer and your videos are making me really hopeful and excited
My 12m old was bouncing away and really getting into the rap, he was a bit upset when it finished.
São Miguel Island
It's good to see everyone enjoying themselves. What were the three places Riley said we needed to see? Bahamas, Azores, and?????
Yea what was the third place
great video, made me happy to see you in such and beautiful place and sad because we were supposed to cruise to the azores in march from florida but the cruise was cancelled and everything changed
LOVING THE NEWWWWW INTRO! Litttle legend lenny!!!
no matter how the cows live they all end up in the slaughter house and there is nothing humane there.
😳 *LUCKIEST GUY EVER* 😳
Great to hear your enjoying yourself Elayna😊 it's such hard work being a mum in the easiest of circumstances let alone living on a boat! Happy Sunday from the UK 💜✌️
Beautiful from beginning to end. Happy Birthday..glad you had your friend with you and hope Riley's health improves. xoxo bc canada
It's awesome seeing you guys so happy! It's infectious. Thanks for sharing the good vibes with us
@4:08 probably already been said but I always remind myself to turn in the opposite direction well looking down on a thread bolted from underneath.
the azores are beautiful...thanks for sharing.....who are these weirdos that give you a thumbs down.....they must be jealous.....Have fun kids.....
What a live you have! Hate you! ... love you very much from Poland.
I might of missed it but is that the same girl that played in Below Decks?
Car oil filter removal tool. Great for water filters...
... father was in the RAF, Terceira has a military air base, Lajes Field. We can highly recommend the island and Terceira. We were stationed there twice we liked it so much, Praia da Vitória has some interesting whaling history. Piscinas Naturais Biscoitos and some great scuba. Have a great time, be safe.
Righty tighty....lefty Lucy

Well what happened to the sailing the channel sucks any more
My family used to live on the island of Terceira for five years from ‘67 to ‘72. Loved living there! May have to move back if the criminal in the White House steals the election.
At last you have re - calculated the time at sea. I have been following you for EVER, and I’m sure it’s more than 6 years that your adventures have been entertaining us all. Here’s to the next 6 !!
Azores dont have a other capital besides Lisbon. Ponta Delgada it is not the capital of the Azores, biggest city in Azores; yes! Not capital. Congrats on the video :)
I had been saying it is about time for the intro to be updated 😁
What's the song in the beginning? So beautiful!
Ha finally you went! 4 years ago I recommended you went. So glad you finally decided to go! It’s an amazing place
4:40 Lefty loosey, righty tighty. Too cool for school in your John lennon glasses.
Are we not going to talk about the rapping made me smile so much xoxo
Love the singing brie and elayna. Also the new into is awsome xxx
Yes Lenny mooooo 🐮 😋
I like the new introduction better
I missed you guys. Been gone awhile.
