Y’all give me so much hope for life man. I’m in the military and getting out, there doesn’t seem to be a clear adventure or purpose out in the civilian world but SAILING is a big part of that and thanks for sharing all you guys do!
Did any one notice the anti Greenpeace, pro fossil fool, pro nuclear, trolls hitting the comments all about the same time. No coincidence, Woodside are in panic mode $$$$$$$😂😂😂
Hey Riley I worked 6 years in Offshore when I was a nipper. Lost more than 20 of my colleagues in just one accident, on a barge BOS355 piling offshore Zaire went through a 8” HP line. The gas got to the surface and the resulting explosion was devastating. I wasn’t there I helped the guys at the burn units but I saw pictures, the heat was so intense the anchor melted and welded to the deck! Nothing is foolproof I’d hate to see the damage that could be done to that beautiful region even without accidents. Thanks mate for you and your family. You guys rock.
SLV. I have folowed and loved your channel for many years without thinking anything bad about either of you or your kids. Your last episode with green piece opened my eyes to your hyproxity.. How many times have you gone to a beach and lit a large fire to cook food and look at a loaded fire of wood that eminates a large amount of heat, smoke and light to make you both feel good in your surroundings? Could you have cooked your food on a small fire to help save the environment? No hipocracy please. Maybe you will feel a backlash.
This was an incredibly good episode. It’s heartwarming to see people who live their lives on the shoulders of our natural world, step up to fight for it. Not all hikers, wilderness van lifers or back road world travelers, are courageous enough to tell the powerful forces who put fortunes over the future, “listen, we have to do better.” This one felt really good. ✌🏼
I cried when Riley dove down to the reef. What a beautiful site to see. Growing up in the Caribbean, it reminded me how it all used to look back in the day. It’s all dead now and it’s truly heartbreaking. Thank both for taking us on this journey with Greenpeace. Truly a fantastic video!
@@muravi8167when is the last time you've dove on any if the world's largest reef spots? Most of the renowned dive sites from 30 years ago are bleached out barren wastelands, including much of the GBR. Do you think people are making this stuff up? Like NASA faking tge moon landings and the earth secretly being flat? 😮
Lionfish are one of the causes in caribbean areas that have destroyed ecosystems. That's all it takes to knock out the balance. Look up lionfish, sharks and find depletion of life under & on land..
My apologies. You are both correct. It is not dead. But the amount of fish and coral that used to live and thrive in the Caribbean has drastically diminished and some even fully disappeared.
My dad was a scuba instructor in the 60's ,70's. And has five all over the world. I was able to accompany him many times. The reefs all used to be so colorful and alive! Thank you for making people that may not know aware Thank you Greenpeace!
Worked aboard this ship for more than 10 precious years before heading out and starting my own NGO, still working on the same cause in a smaller scale. But the crew members on board will forever be family...
I love those subtle interruptions, the planes flying over, the kids being rambunctious in the background, The fact that you leave it all in the final edit with such an artistic tasteful quality makes everything so much more real, and allows me to connect more with two friends I've never met before. I really appreciate what you guys are doing. you are, both of you beautiful people And I genuinely hope one day to meet you both even if it's just to say hi... Got me considering joining Greenpeace now all of a sudden just to get closer to that sunset hope you folks have a great day god bless you and less love from Kansas City USA... Happy 4th of July lol
Thank you so much for sharing Green Peace's mission. Such a great sincere hard working organization. Amazing ship! and crew. Praying for success on their mission. Praying for our Earth. Always love seeing the family. Please do not be too embarrassed with the kiddos. Kids will be kids and we have all been through it. Beautiful family. Love you guys. Look forward to your adventures. Robin
I think it's so awesome that you guys made this video and took this journey! I am pleased that you are using your reach for such an enormously important topic and I hope that this message will continue to flow into your videos! Because everyday life becomes political when we see the small in the big context! And that includes beeing economical for a better world. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart and am really happy about your channel and your videos! Love, Sofie
YOU TWO ROCK!! I will be 80 y/o in 9 months & I was donating to Greenpeace in my 20s. Thank you for using your success to support a very worthy cause. Go Elayna & Riley! Go Greenpeace! 🌿 Be Well & Stay Safe
Free diving the Great Barrier Reef for the first time this year, it was so wonderful to see the health and life in Scott’s reef. Thank you for sharing and tell us what we can do to stop drilling in this area. We have all the sun, water and wind (plus current oil field in use) we need for energy on this planet already. Thank you for bringing purpose, love of the sea and life in each of your videos.
Thank you guys SO much for making this video and taking us on this adventure. As someone who campaigns against projects like these as my day job, I can tell you that it means to so much to have people like you raise awareness about the topic and bring people who normally wouldn't engage with these issues on board. And you do it in such a nuanced and loving way- love you guys always. Thanks for reminding us activism is for everyone - can't wait to see more videos like these from you guys (even though I did cry most of the way through aha)
My carbon footprint is the size of Al Gores pool house yet his jet burns thousand of gallons at 30,00 feet. The Rainbow saves poop to be processed on land yet burns the dirtiest fuel for motor and generators. The environmentalists have forced drilling off shore. There is millions of gallons of oil without risk of spills. Good job!
Phenomenal experience...... thanks for bringing us along .....this work Greenpeace does is so important you can't say enough of their worth to the betterment of the oceans.....this needs to be put in front of people's faces much more often...... Bravo guys
Poo on the floor is standard when you have young kids. Having been a nanny for several years for multiple different families with young children I can tell you everything you are experiencing is totally normal! I hope to be as lucky as you and Riley someday and have a beautiful, lively family of my own one day. Cherish every moment even the hard ones ❤
Such an incredible video folks. You guys play such an important role in sharing/communicating the importance of a healthy ocean and why we need to halt these huge damaging projects, so it’s great to see you’ve teamed with Greenpeace to help share what they are doing, and get people onboard to support them. We actually saw the rainbow warrior anchored off the shore when we were in Exmouth, what an awesome boat.
I am a volonteer activist with GP in Germany for 12 years now and appreciate your attention and time you dedicated to our work worldwide. Its all about a liveable planet and peace, thanks for that :-)
DONT MINE FOR OIL AND GAS!!!!! Greenpeace “oh but can we please grab some diesel for our ship please, we rely on oil and gas for propulsion, power generation, heating and cooling” I never understood this parallel
I don’t have words to describe how this video made me feel. Suffice it to say I always come away from your content feeling like I have a deeper understanding of our world, and feel a stronger need to help protect it. You’re making world-class content.
Thank you, Riley, Aleana and Greenpeace, for taking us along. The underwater rover let us feel like we were right there with you. Amazing I hope their presence will give Woodside cause to rethink their plans. We have to protect those reefs, not put them and the Wildlife that depend on them at RISK.
This is not only a Beautiful and entertaining video but educational and inspiring. The earth needs all of us to change and stand up for the earth. In the late 70s I worked for the Vineyard Commission and helped establish the first county wide oil spill response plan and team. What I learned while researching spills at the WHOI library is that spills will happen at drill sites. It's just a matter of time. And time is of the essence in responding to a spill if environmental damage is to be limited. Damage can't be prevented. How do you respond quickly and effectively 250 miles from shore? You can't. Save Scott's Reef. No exploration or drilling. Also personally switch to electric cooking with alternative energy. Cheers and thanks again.
On another note. One of the best parenting books that I read and one that made a major difference from the get go was STEP. Systematic Training for Effective Parenting. Not sure if it's even available these days. One of the best tips I learned and not only worked great for my children, but also my grandchildren is the phrase, "We don't......". Not, don't applying it directly to the child, such as don't hit your brother, don't touch this or that, don't whatever. It was "We don't touch things that don't belong to us", "We don't hit each other in this family", "We don't go outside without asking permission". Kids respond super well to house rules and it also doesn't target them on a personal level that they will often challenge. Hang in there, they do grow up and become much more reasonable. Children of course need parental guidance and sometimes discipline, what you feel appropriate with the children entrusted to you. Children actually thrive in an environment with set rules and set consequences. Think of how your favorite teachers had control over the classroom and was fair in how the rules were enforced. You learned best and enjoyed the environment they created in their classroom.
I applied this to dog training as my dog learned , “we don’t harass the wildlife “. As we often walked in natural areas he would ignore waterbirds rabbits etc. 🐕good dog.😊
As we go through our life there are so many things we just don't know or truly understand, but once we Know Better then we need to Do Better. This pertains to every aspect of our life, from being a child, a friend, an employee, a partner, a spouse, a lover, a parent, a leader and a steward of this earth. We can't get comfortable with willful ignorance. Thank You for taking us on this amazing journey with you. I paused the video and read everything that was written. The statements Woodside issued and the truth are worlds apart. I feel privileged to sign the petition. Thank You Greenpeace for taking a stand!!
What an amazing episode! The diving/wildlife shots were incredible, the energy on that boat was warm, loving and alive. I could feel it through the camera! I love it when I can learn a little something while being entertained. So cool! Thank you for taking us with you! Will def sign that petition.
I’d be more worried about all the nuclear waste they have let go into the ocean from Fukushima after the earthquake and tsunami it’s still being dumped in the sea and it was left to go into the sea after it happened yet nobody ever talks about this imagine all the damage it’s done to the ocean life and how far it’s spread and for sure they lied and covered it up why do famous people with a platform never bring it up
Back in the 80s, my father-in-law, a brilliant engineer, humanitarian and anti-nuclear activist, briefly worked with Greenpeace in Northern Alberta, Canada. The last protest he attended was an "attempt" to disrupt a cruise missile test by launching a huge net in its path with balloons. I don't know what went on that day but, when asked how the day went, he sat silently for a very long time before finally letting out a long sigh and replying, "I think I want to go club a seal." And, that marked the conclusion of his collaborations with Greenpeace.😂 I miss that man so much!
Could you tell the other side of the story too! I'm a biologist, but what new drilling technology's are available to mitigate the, "what if's" might help a person decide if they are against or for the drilling?
Answers to some of the “what if’s “. If they test and find nothing? Then they will cause damage to a stressed ecosystem that is irreplaceable. If they find gas or oil? Then they will cause damage to a stressed ecosystem that is irreplaceable . 🤷♂️🌏
Long time watcher and infrequent commenter, 100% Agree with you Riley, some are so quick to judge and throw stones, but a good thinker and person is able to look at the bigger picture and have a discussion.
Yet another absolutely fantastic episode of SLV please please please keep them coming. I'm loving the new format too. You are a credit to the whole world. Well done. Can't wait for the next episode. Take care stay safe x❤
Thank you for using your platform to try to make the world a better place. I’ve been following your adventures for years and as someone who works in the environmental space, it’s lovely to see those two worlds combine. I particularly liked that you addressed that everyone has their own footprint, and shouldn’t be branded as a hypocrite for trying to make a difference at the higher level. It is the systems and decision makers who we should scrutinise, not individuals who often haven extremely difficult decisions to make when balancing their financial, health and social well-being vs their environmental impact. Thanks guys!!!
My family moved to Broome in my teens. My family still lives there. My 3 brother were pearl divers for Paspaley Pearls for years. I was nominated Shinju Matsuri Princess back in the 80's. My mum & dad are documented in the Broome museum for Lawn bowls championship. Who would have thought a humble Italian family would get documented in the Broome doco's. Glad you got to experience Broome with your two beautiful boy's. ⛵🌏🐟🤿🩳🩱👙🐬⛱🎣📸🦈🐠💧🐚⚓🐡☀️🇦🇺
I've worked on rigs for 18 years this year. I've worked offshore in the Gulf of Mexico for 11 years on ships. I completely agree with yall. When I think of Australia, I think of kangaroos and coral reefs. We already know that the coral is dying all around the world. We should fight to save what little we have left. I understand that the project creates jobs and income, but we really need to start thinking about our oceans.
What a privileged life you live :) . You have worked hard for your position and Greenpeace gains from your notoriety and you from theirs. I've been a long time supporter of many of Greenpeace's campaigns and love the opening for different positions to be presented. Love you Riley and Elena - we so look forward to the next LaVagabonde!!!
So glad to see a cruising channel actually doing some good out there. So tired of repair videos and drunken parties. Folks spending their lives traveling the word and complaining about the hardships. It was so refreshing to see this video. We need more of this. I love what Greenpeace does. I do object to some of their methods. Captains should never put their crew at unnecessary risks. Please do more of this kind of content. Love you guys!
One of my favourite episodes of yours so far! Such an inspiration- love that you use your platform for these matters also. Thanks for the insides of the Rainbow Worrier. Pretty badass with the ladies controlling this vessel!
I hope people think twice before leaving a comment. These folks are doing such important work with very full hearts for the project(s). All are living GOOD lives.
That was a very important piece of reef and with you and Greenpeace highlighting the potential devastation there it has to get as much publicity as you can give it, One thing I think would help, guys, if you could put a little more context in the support of a reef like Scotts Reef is what it does or adds to the whole biodiversity of the marine life. You mentioned the pygmy blue whales and giant turtles and there will be a whole food chain that all living creatures there survive on. Highlight that and what that means when its all gone and the reef is bleached white and is a wasteland underwater - how does that impact all of the sea life. You have the soapbox and the audience go for it.
I've seen the coral reef about 15 yrs ago, so beautiful back then, I cannot imagine what they plan on doing! Happy Canada Day, to equate fires on a beach which is heavily monitored by Riley and Elaina, to the heavy-handed oil industry piles in comparison to the actual pollution that Canada is experiencing 8 million hectares of forest fire damage that is being faced on Canadian Land almost yearly due to Climate Change, and it's not expected to rain until nearly October. We do live on One World. What happens in one part of the world, other factors are affected. We are aware that different parts of the US have complained about the smoke. Given the limited capacity to handle massive fires, we are doing what we can, and are thankful for Australians, south African, Ukrainian, and many countries who came to help us in Canada. The firefighters do make a huge difference, so thank you from Canada.
Wow, you just changed my opinion of Greenpeace, what beautiful people, amazing effort to preserve this wonderful area. Actually have tears in my eyes writing this. Thank you for all that you do, but this was one of the very best episodes. Well done Greenpeace too, such a great idea to get you guys on board, certainly worked for me. Stay safe everyone.
Absolutely loved this episode. Seriously, thank you so much for that opportunity to see what they do and for bringing awareness to that area of the world most of us don’t know about
YASYASSSSYASSSS such a good episode and I love seeing this kind of engaged content! well done you legends! Rainbow warriors for life, building this new earth together from the heart
This was a fantastic video and so worthwhile. You should do more like this. High profile involvement helping to draw awareness to these issues is priceless. 👍👍🏴🏴
I love your Web and your Green Peace dive . I have had the pleasure to dive there in the 80'S while serving in the Navy. An when I saw Elaine and The Captain Dive I found myself Crying. Remembering how beautiful then. Now I am Physically Limited. Both from my pocket, and Physically limited. An to hear that a Government which was and use to be Nature friendly tare truly The Last place of Edan , Now I wish was I Australian. Yet I am a simple retired Navy Warrior, An I adore your energy, Love, and creativity. This will be my 61st. I have been watching you since you started. In 2018? I hope you continue for your kids, your way of life to show case Nature, and the fight for our oceans, and water. An in General our Planet ! Thank You LtCdr Allen
Not to be a negative person but when You use the jet boat and the outboard engine boat in the water against oil rigs they’re also using fuel in those Jet boats which is a product of oil so it’s kind of against what they are doing. Once again I this is my personal opinion and I don’t want to offend anyone.
Have you thought about making your boat out of wood or aluminum instead of an oil product like polyester or epoxy resin? Or even not creating a new boat at all and just reusing an existing boat?
Such an awesome video! Watching your videos for years I could see the difference in the amount of fish in the water. Can’t wait for the rest of this series ❤
I'm also in greenpeace, and greenpeace activist are truly the most wonderful and warm people I've ever met. Even with stranger's, you just feel so welcome and loved lol, compared to the average "society" where you are being judged ect. Best people ever!!!
Thank you Riley and Elayna 🐋 🌊 I've dedicated most my life to ocean renewal. With sincere awareness and action we can end illegal fishing, protect Big BrainHeart ocean mammals, stop waste dumping and more. And yes nobody or organization is perfect! And I expect most of the critics aren't dedicated to a valuable cause. If they were - they wouldn't have the desire to find fault in people doing the best they can to help.
They’ve come a long way since the granola tree hugging days… that’s one hell of a ship! Makes me want to become a member! I hope they’re making a difference out there with that beast ❤
Very enlightening, thank you. Especially your first-hand experience in diving coral reefs around the world. Most of us have no idea the damage that is being done to the ecosystem beneath the surface of the oceans because we don't see it.
I'm just discovering your channel. Enjoying the down-to-earth nature of it, your willingness to share your family with us, and the sharing of your knowledge and experience. It's not a big dream but I'd like to get my own family of four and a hound out on the water as well. Pretty far from it now living in the Central Valley of California. It was sad to hear the bleaching of the coral was, in your experience, common and global. I've found the same. I remember snorkeling as a teenager in Hawaii, sometime in the mid 90's, and the coral was alive and magical. Here's to restoring nature to its diverse splendor for our children. Thank you.
Oh my goodness you guys. I live in broome and cried when I saw the coast line from the boat, realising you were here when the Greenpeace ship was here. I can’t believe you were here and I missed you. I hope you guys enjoyed my little town ❤
Riley working on oil rigs and now sailing & promoting eco friendly lifestyles is quite similar to Norway drilling oil and now using their 1.2 trillion dollar sovereign fun for good and supporting wind and solar.
You all are very blessed to have such a wonderful experience. I totally get being stressed about how the boys are behaving. I've been on both sides with 4. I'm guessing the members of the ship may not have little ones on board often. Therefore, most will be fine and probably enjoy seeing 1st hand why they are doing what they do. For the future of course. Can't wait for your boat to be done. And to see that tour. Hugs to all take care 😊🤍
I appreciate encouraging those of us with a different perspective to watch the video with an open mind. But the same goes for those who don't share these views. They aren't perfect either and should be treated with respect and grace. As the saying goes, "treat others as you'd like to be treated." (Not saying you guys don't do that, just a general encouragement.) Doing a full investigation on both sides of the argument is the only way to be well informed because it's possible that there are some inconvenient truths about climate change that an organization like Greenpeace seem to overlook or ignore. (Motoring from one point to another? Their work couldn't happen without fossil fuels.) And no doubt every human being wants a better world, not just those involved with companies like Greenpeace. The challenge is figuring out how to bring together groups that hold to diametrically opposed worldviews.
Amazing episode. Elayna, I love how you summed it up that our inconvenience if the Woodside project is stopped is so minimal compared to the damage that could occur to the ocean. And in fact, if the destruction of the oceans doesn’t stop we will be more than inconvenienced. However, I am empathetic to the fact that I made a good living from the oil patch and others far less fortunate than I might see this and other such projects as their only chance of a better life. We have to find a way to provide more sustainable environmentally friendly employment options for everyone along side shutting down projects like this. When people are in short term survival mode they don’t have the option of worrying about the long term effects on the planet.
Regarding your mention of hypocrisy, I think it is safe to say that there are those of us who do not understand why there are so many well known and vocal representatives of this sort of movement who in essence preach to the rest of us while they have a larger carbon footprint than I will ever have. I live as environmentally friendly as I can. Recycle, reuse, upcycle, buy thrift, etc. I fly somewhere maybe once every 10 years. We stay close to home and do staycations, only travelling if there is a funeral to attend and that is maybe every 5-10 years. We grow some of our own food organically. We keep our vehicles for at least 20 years. We live in a small 1000sf house. We recycle our grey water. We use rainwater harvesting. We will never see the world (except through travel channels we watch) but we will have practiced what we preached while not being perfect but at least trying not to be complete hypocrites. Greenpeace uses a ton of diesel travelling all over. I'm truly surprised they don't just rely on their sails to practice what they preach. Why not row out to see sealife instead of motor out? Why do Bill Gates and Al Gore have private jets and live in HUGE houses? Why do they get to buy their way out of their carbon footprints which is a joke? I used to watch Ed Begley Jr and he walked the walk or at least seemed to. Good man. I stopped attending church because I was tired of them preaching one thing and doing another. The deacon sleeping with the sunday school teacher's wife for example. To me, many of these activists are no different. I will continue to try and do better and be better but I see many mouths like BG And AG that should just shut up because they are THE reason people think it's a mockery to care about the environment. They expect us pee-ons to bicycle to work while they take a limo. Yeah, whatever. I hope the whales are not harmed. Thank you for sharing.
@@malcolm120 Very productive use of your time. Does that work for you to get people to care more about the environment? I'm going to guess not. I'd never even heard of Woodside before this video. Smh.
Brilliant job at presenting a subject that can divide viewers, with total respect for all. Not easily done. You guys are brave and inspiring. Thank you 🙏
I feel like a lot of people have forgotten how to be nuanced, mostly on social media, there are no eyes to face in the moment and look directly into. To really get a feel for where a person may be coming from, so often times words just get spewed out without regard or thought. We must remember, we are all human and therefore imperfect. We also need to remember how to be compassionate, to empathize, and understand where another is coming from. I don’t know how you UA-cam influencers do this, you have to have some pretty tough skin and mental fortitude to block out those negative voices, it can not be easy. Love your channel been watching for years now. ❤❤❤
Wow I love that female team on the boat. You are amazing at everything you do. This is incredible. Love the whales and cried at the same time. GreenPeace , keep up the great work. Thank you for spreading all this wonderful knowledge 🫶🫶We need more people to fight for our oceans. Beautiful under water footage too ❤️❤️❤️ Love you guys
I love this episode! I’ve been a Greenpeace local volunteer for years, and the organisation really tries hard to move the needle on things that matter for our environment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing this to your viewers! ❤❤❤ Also happy birthday Riley!
Thank you for taking the time to enlighten us all about the reality of the oceans. As you said, we will not be without anything if they don't move forward with the project, so for the sake of protecting ocean life, why not refrain, Woodside? 🥰😎
Good onya Guys, well done regardless of what comments you receive there is no right or wrong and what strong beliefs you have are appreciated. Thank you for the opportunity to allow us all to partake in the duties associated with GreenPeace and the Rainbow warrior III
Children enrich the lives of everyone around them. I’m sure the crew was so happy to have them. What an amazing opportunity and amazing video. This is fantastic ❤
Another great video! Love the format you are using. The underwater video was awesome and was the best part, so beautiful. Greenpeace is a great organization to support. Loved the tour of the boat. What an awesome experience!!
The kids are very cute and "normal" . I am sure all kids are naughty at times. No one else seemed to notice but you. I am sure at least Lenny will remember this time. What a privilege. Great episode, well worth the wait. Also love the females in key positions.
This was an incredible production you guys. Just Wow. Those reef shots & Elay diving down below. Shivers all the way thru. A balanced approach to start to appeal to broad audience and then tugged on the heartstrings of everyone watching in the end. Superb filmmaking, editing and storytelling. And what an important cause to knock it out of the park with. Bravo all around. Keep up the good fight GreenPeace, these places are worth fighting for. Cheers
Greenpeace do amazing work helping to save our planet and animals.I did a Greenpeace charity walk a few years ago titled Save the Whales,that was before I started having problems with pain in my hips..Thanks guys for posting this vlog and highlighting the good work of Greenpeace and showing us what a beautiful planet we have,and we don't want it any more polluted by big fat rich companies
Good fair assessment off the top, the vast majority are not in the position to make the transition. Patience and education required. Living a minimalist lifestyle requires sacrifice and dedication. Thank you, you guys for endeavouring and doing your best and sharing!
I have watched all you content from the beginning (I am from wa) and this is one of your best videos, definitely not in my face but you definitely let me see the reality of what the dangers are if we just let the mining companies keep going!!! Thanks and enjoy Europe 👍
I still very much remember when the French blew up the 1st Rainbow Warrior! I still have a picture of myself from when I was around 10 saying Save the Whales! Im so beyond proud of you guys for showing this side of the story and I was holding back the tears (happy/sentimental ones) but I let them flow for our Ocean and the damage we as a species are doing to the voiceless marine life. Thankyou xox
The amazing and wonderful life that you two are giving to your boys cannot be understated. They say that parents are only here to be memories for their children, and in your case you’re giving them some wonderful ones.
It was an incredibly valuable episode. So greatful that you use your platform to spread this message. I’m a Greenpeace Poland activist and it most of the time feels like we are alone in our fight. Your voice makes a huge difference and makes this journey easier. Great thanks ❤

Hi....Bravo your life !!!
Have a nice day !!!!
Thank you.
Y’all give me so much hope for life man. I’m in the military and getting out, there doesn’t seem to be a clear adventure or purpose out in the civilian world but SAILING is a big part of that and thanks for sharing all you guys do!
Oh totally enjoy this
Best episode ever💚💚💚💚
Did any one notice the anti Greenpeace, pro fossil fool, pro nuclear, trolls hitting the comments all about the same time.
No coincidence, Woodside are in panic mode $$$$$$$😂😂😂
Hey Riley I worked 6 years in Offshore when I was a nipper. Lost more than 20 of my colleagues in just one accident, on a barge BOS355 piling offshore Zaire went through a 8” HP line. The gas got to the surface and the resulting explosion was devastating. I wasn’t there I helped the guys at the burn units but I saw pictures, the heat was so intense the anchor melted and welded to the deck! Nothing is foolproof I’d hate to see the damage that could be done to that beautiful region even without accidents. Thanks mate for you and your family. You guys rock.
So sorry to hear that mate.
I never lost anyone whilst at work but it was always a worry. Certainly there were things we did that I wouldn’t do now.
SLV. I have folowed and loved your channel for many years without thinking anything bad about either of you or your kids. Your last episode with green piece opened my eyes to your hyproxity..
How many times have you gone to a beach and lit a large fire to cook food and look at a loaded fire of wood that eminates a large amount of heat, smoke and light to make you both feel good in your surroundings? Could you have cooked your food on a small fire to help save the environment?
No hipocracy please.
Maybe you will feel a backlash.
@@sandymackenzie8413jesus christ is your brain decorative??
@@sandymackenzie8413must be amazing to be perfect like you Sandy 😂
@@sandymackenzie8413 lol
This was an incredibly good episode. It’s heartwarming to see people who live their lives on the shoulders of our natural world, step up to fight for it. Not all hikers, wilderness van lifers or back road world travelers, are courageous enough to tell the powerful forces who put fortunes over the future, “listen, we have to do better.” This one felt really good. ✌🏼
I cried when Riley dove down to the reef. What a beautiful site to see. Growing up in the Caribbean, it reminded me how it all used to look back in the day. It’s all dead now and it’s truly heartbreaking. Thank both for taking us on this journey with Greenpeace. Truly a fantastic video!
Its not dead.
@@muravi8167when is the last time you've dove on any if the world's largest reef spots? Most of the renowned dive sites from 30 years ago are bleached out barren wastelands, including much of the GBR.
Do you think people are making this stuff up? Like NASA faking tge moon landings and the earth secretly being flat? 😮
Lionfish are one of the causes in caribbean areas that have destroyed ecosystems. That's all it takes to knock out the balance. Look up lionfish, sharks and find depletion of life under & on land..
Why is it dead?
My apologies. You are both correct. It is not dead. But the amount of fish and coral that used to live and thrive in the Caribbean has drastically diminished and some even fully disappeared.
My dad was a scuba instructor in the 60's ,70's. And has five all over the world. I was able to accompany him many times.
The reefs all used to be so colorful and alive! Thank you for making people that may not know aware Thank you Greenpeace!
Worked aboard this ship for more than 10 precious years before heading out and starting my own NGO, still working on the same cause in a smaller scale.
But the crew members on board will forever be family...
I love those subtle interruptions, the planes flying over, the kids being rambunctious in the background, The fact that you leave it all in the final edit with such an artistic tasteful quality makes everything so much more real, and allows me to connect more with two friends I've never met before. I really appreciate what you guys are doing. you are, both of you beautiful people And I genuinely hope one day to meet you both even if it's just to say hi... Got me considering joining Greenpeace now all of a sudden just to get closer to that sunset hope you folks have a great day god bless you and less love from Kansas City USA... Happy 4th of July lol
Thank you so much for sharing Green Peace's mission. Such a great sincere hard working organization. Amazing ship! and crew. Praying for success on their mission. Praying for our Earth.
Always love seeing the family. Please do not be too embarrassed with the kiddos. Kids will be kids and we have all been through it. Beautiful family. Love you guys. Look forward to your adventures. Robin
I think it's so awesome that you guys made this video and took this journey! I am pleased that you are using your reach for such an enormously important topic and I hope that this message will continue to flow into your videos! Because everyday life becomes political when we see the small in the big context! And that includes beeing economical for a better world. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart and am really happy about your channel and your videos! Love, Sofie
YOU TWO ROCK!!
I will be 80 y/o in 9 months & I was donating to Greenpeace in my 20s. Thank you for using your success to support a very worthy cause.
Go Elayna & Riley!
Go Greenpeace!
🌿
Be Well & Stay Safe
I just love your comment. Happy early Birthday 🎉😊
Free diving the Great Barrier Reef for the first time this year, it was so wonderful to see the health and life in Scott’s reef. Thank you for sharing and tell us what we can do to stop drilling in this area. We have all the sun, water and wind (plus current oil field in use) we need for energy on this planet already. Thank you for bringing purpose, love of the sea and life in each of your videos.
Thank you guys SO much for making this video and taking us on this adventure. As someone who campaigns against projects like these as my day job, I can tell you that it means to so much to have people like you raise awareness about the topic and bring people who normally wouldn't engage with these issues on board. And you do it in such a nuanced and loving way- love you guys always. Thanks for reminding us activism is for everyone - can't wait to see more videos like these from you guys (even though I did cry most of the way through aha)
My carbon footprint is the size of Al Gores pool house yet his jet burns thousand of gallons at 30,00 feet. The Rainbow saves poop to be processed on land yet burns the dirtiest fuel for motor and generators. The environmentalists have forced drilling off shore. There is millions of gallons of oil without risk of spills. Good job!
Phenomenal experience...... thanks for bringing us along .....this work Greenpeace does is so important you can't say enough of their worth to the betterment of the oceans.....this needs to be put in front of people's faces much more often...... Bravo guys
Poo on the floor is standard when you have young kids. Having been a nanny for several years for multiple different families with young children I can tell you everything you are experiencing is totally normal! I hope to be as lucky as you and Riley someday and have a beautiful, lively family of my own one day. Cherish every moment even the hard ones ❤
Such an incredible video folks. You guys play such an important role in sharing/communicating the importance of a healthy ocean and why we need to halt these huge damaging projects, so it’s great to see you’ve teamed with Greenpeace to help share what they are doing, and get people onboard to support them. We actually saw the rainbow warrior anchored off the shore when we were in Exmouth, what an awesome boat.
I am a volonteer activist with GP in Germany for 12 years now and appreciate your attention and time you dedicated to our work worldwide. Its all about a liveable planet and peace, thanks for that :-)
DONT MINE FOR OIL AND GAS!!!!!
Greenpeace “oh but can we please grab some diesel for our ship please, we rely on oil and gas for propulsion, power generation, heating and cooling”
I never understood this parallel
HYPOCRITES 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t have words to describe how this video made me feel. Suffice it to say I always come away from your content feeling like I have a deeper understanding of our world, and feel a stronger need to help protect it. You’re making world-class content.
Thank you, Riley, Aleana and Greenpeace, for taking us along. The underwater rover let us feel like we were right there with you. Amazing I hope their presence will give Woodside cause to rethink their plans. We have to protect those reefs, not put them and the Wildlife that depend on them at RISK.
This is not only a Beautiful and entertaining video but educational and inspiring. The earth needs all of us to change and stand up for the earth.
In the late 70s I worked for the Vineyard Commission and helped establish the first county wide oil spill response plan and team. What I learned while researching spills at the WHOI library is that spills will happen at drill sites. It's just a matter of time. And time is of the essence in responding to a spill if environmental damage is to be limited. Damage can't be prevented. How do you respond quickly and effectively 250 miles from shore? You can't. Save Scott's Reef. No exploration or drilling. Also personally switch to electric cooking with alternative energy. Cheers and thanks again.
On another note. One of the best parenting books that I read and one that made a major difference from the get go was STEP. Systematic Training for Effective Parenting. Not sure if it's even available these days.
One of the best tips I learned and not only worked great for my children, but also my grandchildren is the phrase, "We don't......". Not, don't applying it directly to the child, such as don't hit your brother, don't touch this or that, don't whatever. It was "We don't touch things that don't belong to us", "We don't hit each other in this family", "We don't go outside without asking permission". Kids respond super well to house rules and it also doesn't target them on a personal level that they will often challenge.
Hang in there, they do grow up and become much more reasonable. Children of course need parental guidance and sometimes discipline, what you feel appropriate with the children entrusted to you. Children actually thrive in an environment with set rules and set consequences. Think of how your favorite teachers had control over the classroom and was fair in how the rules were enforced. You learned best and enjoyed the environment they created in their classroom.
I love this! I wish I had heard thar. 😊
As a Mama of 9 I love this comment!!
I applied this to dog training as my dog learned , “we don’t harass the wildlife “. As we often walked in natural areas he would ignore waterbirds rabbits etc. 🐕good dog.😊
As we go through our life there are so many things we just don't know or truly understand, but once we Know Better then we need to Do Better. This pertains to every aspect of our life, from being a child, a friend, an employee, a partner, a spouse, a lover, a parent, a leader and a steward of this earth. We can't get comfortable with willful ignorance. Thank You for taking us on this amazing journey with you. I paused the video and read everything that was written. The statements Woodside issued and the truth are worlds apart. I feel privileged to sign the petition. Thank You Greenpeace for taking a stand!!
What an amazing episode! The diving/wildlife shots were incredible, the energy on that boat was warm, loving and alive. I could feel it through the camera! I love it when I can learn a little something while being entertained. So cool! Thank you for taking us with you! Will def sign that petition.
Thank you so much!! 🥲
Cool to see the women on the bridge. Cool to see amazing people on amazing boats doing amazing things.
The rescuing Elayna from a cult part made me laugh so hard 😂
An important topic, I'm so happy you guys took this opportunity. Please keep us updated 🙏
I’d be more worried about all the nuclear waste they have let go into the ocean from Fukushima after the earthquake and tsunami it’s still being dumped in the sea and it was left to go into the sea after it happened yet nobody ever talks about this imagine all the damage it’s done to the ocean life and how far it’s spread and for sure they lied and covered it up why do famous people with a platform never bring it up
Back in the 80s, my father-in-law, a brilliant engineer, humanitarian and anti-nuclear activist, briefly worked with Greenpeace in Northern Alberta, Canada. The last protest he attended was an "attempt" to disrupt a cruise missile test by launching a huge net in its path with balloons. I don't know what went on that day but, when asked how the day went, he sat silently for a very long time before finally letting out a long sigh and replying, "I think I want to go club a seal." And, that marked the conclusion of his collaborations with Greenpeace.😂 I miss that man so much!
Could you tell the other side of the story too! I'm a biologist, but what new drilling technology's are available to mitigate the, "what if's" might help a person decide if they are against or for the drilling?
Answers to some of the “what if’s “. If they test and find nothing? Then they will cause damage to a stressed ecosystem that is irreplaceable. If they find gas or oil? Then they will cause damage to a stressed ecosystem that is irreplaceable . 🤷♂️🌏
Long time watcher and infrequent commenter, 100% Agree with you Riley, some are so quick to judge and throw stones, but a good thinker and person is able to look at the bigger picture and have a discussion.
This could and maybe should have been an hour long network TV broadcast! Exceptional editing and content!
The rainbow warrior holds a big space in the hearts of most Kiwis...wonderful to see you on board the new ship. ❤❤❤
so cool…. thank you Greenpeace, to try and not giving up for our future. Happy Birthday Riley !
Yet another absolutely fantastic episode of SLV please please please keep them coming. I'm loving the new format too. You are a credit to the whole world. Well done. Can't wait for the next episode. Take care stay safe x❤
Thank you for using your platform to try to make the world a better place.
I’ve been following your adventures for years and as someone who works in the environmental space, it’s lovely to see those two worlds combine.
I particularly liked that you addressed that everyone has their own footprint, and shouldn’t be branded as a hypocrite for trying to make a difference at the higher level. It is the systems and decision makers who we should scrutinise, not individuals who often haven extremely difficult decisions to make when balancing their financial, health and social well-being vs their environmental impact.
Thanks guys!!!
My family moved to Broome in my teens. My family still lives there. My 3 brother were pearl divers for Paspaley Pearls for years. I was nominated Shinju Matsuri Princess back in the 80's. My mum & dad are documented in the Broome museum for Lawn bowls championship. Who would have thought a humble Italian family would get documented in the Broome doco's. Glad you got to experience Broome with your two beautiful boy's. ⛵🌏🐟🤿🩳🩱👙🐬⛱🎣📸🦈🐠💧🐚⚓🐡☀️🇦🇺
I've worked on rigs for 18 years this year. I've worked offshore in the Gulf of Mexico for 11 years on ships. I completely agree with yall. When I think of Australia, I think of kangaroos and coral reefs. We already know that the coral is dying all around the world. We should fight to save what little we have left. I understand that the project creates jobs and income, but we really need to start thinking about our oceans.
Thank you for doing this. Thank you for sharing the experience with us all. LOVE your passion for saving our planet.
What a privileged life you live :) . You have worked hard for your position and Greenpeace gains from your notoriety and you from theirs.
I've been a long time supporter of many of Greenpeace's campaigns and love the opening for different positions to be presented.
Love you Riley and Elena - we so look forward to the next LaVagabonde!!!
How is it that you two continue to make better and better content? This was so amazing! THANK YOU!
So glad to see a cruising channel actually doing some good out there. So tired of repair videos and drunken parties. Folks spending their lives traveling the word and complaining about the hardships. It was so refreshing to see this video. We need more of this. I love what Greenpeace does. I do object to some of their methods. Captains should never put their crew at unnecessary risks. Please do more of this kind of content. Love you guys!
One of my favourite episodes of yours so far! Such an inspiration- love that you use your platform for these matters also. Thanks for the insides of the Rainbow Worrier. Pretty badass with the ladies controlling this vessel!
I hope people think twice before leaving a comment. These folks are doing such important work with very full hearts for the project(s). All are living GOOD lives.
That was a very important piece of reef and with you and Greenpeace highlighting the potential devastation there it has to get as much publicity as you can give it,
One thing I think would help, guys, if you could put a little more context in the support of a reef like Scotts Reef is what it does or adds to the whole biodiversity of the marine life. You mentioned the pygmy blue whales and giant turtles and there will be a whole food chain that all living creatures there survive on. Highlight that and what that means when its all gone and the reef is bleached white and is a wasteland underwater - how does that impact all of the sea life. You have the soapbox and the audience go for it.
I've seen the coral reef about 15 yrs ago, so beautiful back then, I cannot imagine what they plan on doing! Happy Canada Day, to equate fires on a beach which is heavily monitored by Riley and Elaina, to the heavy-handed oil industry piles in comparison to the actual pollution that Canada is experiencing 8 million hectares of forest fire damage that is being faced on Canadian Land almost yearly due to Climate Change, and it's not expected to rain until nearly October. We do live on One World. What happens in one part of the world, other factors are affected. We are aware that different parts of the US have complained about the smoke. Given the limited capacity to handle massive fires, we are doing what we can, and are thankful for Australians, south African, Ukrainian, and many countries who came to help us in Canada. The firefighters do make a huge difference, so thank you from Canada.
Thank you so much for talking about the wonderful activities that Greenpeace has been doing for many years.
Happy belated Birthday Man. Here's to living your best life 🥳
Wow, you just changed my opinion of Greenpeace, what beautiful people, amazing effort to preserve this wonderful area. Actually have tears in my eyes writing this. Thank you for all that you do, but this was one of the very best episodes. Well done Greenpeace too, such a great idea to get you guys on board, certainly worked for me. Stay safe everyone.
Absolutely loved this episode. Seriously, thank you so much for that opportunity to see what they do and for bringing awareness to that area of the world most of us don’t know about
I was literally watching another video wondering when the next one was coming up and pow! here you are! :D Always looking forward to your video's!
YASYASSSSYASSSS such a good episode and I love seeing this kind of engaged content! well done you legends! Rainbow warriors for life, building this new earth together from the heart
This was a fantastic video and so worthwhile. You should do more like this. High profile involvement helping to draw awareness to these issues is priceless. 👍👍🏴🏴
Been donating monthly to Greenpeace for 2 years now. Keep up the efforts and thank you LV for the video.
I love your Web and your Green Peace dive . I have had the pleasure to dive there in the 80'S while serving in the Navy. An when I saw Elaine and The Captain Dive I found myself Crying. Remembering how beautiful then. Now I am Physically Limited. Both from my pocket, and Physically limited. An to hear that a Government which was and use to be Nature friendly tare truly The Last place of Edan , Now I wish was I Australian. Yet I am a simple retired Navy Warrior, An I adore your energy, Love, and creativity. This will be my 61st. I have been watching you since you started. In 2018? I hope you continue for your kids, your way of life to show case Nature, and the fight for our oceans, and water. An in General our Planet ! Thank You LtCdr Allen
Awesome episode guys!! Thank you for sharing this message!! 💛
Not to be a negative person but when You use the jet boat and the outboard engine boat in the water against oil rigs they’re also using fuel in those Jet boats which is a product of oil so it’s kind of against what they are doing.
Once again I this is my personal opinion and I don’t want to offend anyone.
Have you thought about making your boat out of wood or aluminum instead of an oil product like polyester or epoxy resin? Or even not creating a new boat at all and just reusing an existing boat?
yay! was waiting for a new video! Love the awareness and info you provide
Riley is so sensible. What a human! Love his logic of how he used to work on rigs but he also cares for the environment . He's just so realistic.
Such an awesome video! Watching your videos for years I could see the difference in the amount of fish in the water. Can’t wait for the rest of this series ❤
I'm also in greenpeace, and greenpeace activist are truly the most wonderful and warm people I've ever met. Even with stranger's, you just feel so welcome and loved lol, compared to the average "society" where you are being judged ect. Best people ever!!!
Thank you Riley and Elayna 🐋 🌊 I've dedicated most my life to ocean renewal. With sincere awareness and action we can end illegal fishing, protect Big BrainHeart ocean mammals, stop waste dumping and more. And yes nobody or organization is perfect! And I expect most of the critics aren't dedicated to a valuable cause. If they were - they wouldn't have the desire to find fault in people doing the best they can to help.
Can’t believe I nearly didn’t watch this, you guys are legends. Thanks! This episode is my favourite sailing vlog of 2023.
They’ve come a long way since the granola tree hugging days… that’s one hell of a ship! Makes me want to become a member! I hope they’re making a difference out there with that beast ❤
Greenpeace and La Vagabond... What a combo!! Great video, thank you so much. Happy belated birthday wishes Riley! 🎉
Very enlightening, thank you. Especially your first-hand experience in diving coral reefs around the world. Most of us have no idea the damage that is being done to the ecosystem beneath the surface of the oceans because we don't see it.
One of my favorite videos you two have done and I’ve loved them all so far! 💚
I'm just discovering your channel. Enjoying the down-to-earth nature of it, your willingness to share your family with us, and the sharing of your knowledge and experience. It's not a big dream but I'd like to get my own family of four and a hound out on the water as well. Pretty far from it now living in the Central Valley of California. It was sad to hear the bleaching of the coral was, in your experience, common and global. I've found the same. I remember snorkeling as a teenager in Hawaii, sometime in the mid 90's, and the coral was alive and magical. Here's to restoring nature to its diverse splendor for our children. Thank you.
I had NO idea they had ship doing things like this. Thank for sharing. ❤
Have you had your head up your backside?
Oh my goodness you guys. I live in broome and cried when I saw the coast line from the boat, realising you were here when the Greenpeace ship was here.
I can’t believe you were here and I missed you. I hope you guys enjoyed my little town ❤
Interesting that every single piece of that vessel required mining products, chemical composite and OIL to produce.
Riley working on oil rigs and now sailing & promoting eco friendly lifestyles is quite similar to Norway drilling oil and now using their 1.2 trillion dollar sovereign fun for good and supporting wind and solar.
You all are very blessed to have such a wonderful experience. I totally get being stressed about how the boys are behaving. I've been on both sides with 4. I'm guessing the members of the ship may not have little ones on board often. Therefore, most will be fine and probably enjoy seeing 1st hand why they are doing what they do. For the future of course. Can't wait for your boat to be done. And to see that tour. Hugs to all take care 😊🤍
Great video guys. Thanks for sharing this message with your audience.
I appreciate encouraging those of us with a different perspective to watch the video with an open mind. But the same goes for those who don't share these views. They aren't perfect either and should be treated with respect and grace. As the saying goes, "treat others as you'd like to be treated." (Not saying you guys don't do that, just a general encouragement.) Doing a full investigation on both sides of the argument is the only way to be well informed because it's possible that there are some inconvenient truths about climate change that an organization like Greenpeace seem to overlook or ignore. (Motoring from one point to another? Their work couldn't happen without fossil fuels.) And no doubt every human being wants a better world, not just those involved with companies like Greenpeace. The challenge is figuring out how to bring together groups that hold to diametrically opposed worldviews.
Amazing episode. Elayna, I love how you summed it up that our inconvenience if the Woodside project is stopped is so minimal compared to the damage that could occur to the ocean. And in fact, if the destruction of the oceans doesn’t stop we will be more than inconvenienced. However, I am empathetic to the fact that I made a good living from the oil patch and others far less fortunate than I might see this and other such projects as their only chance of a better life. We have to find a way to provide more sustainable environmentally friendly employment options for everyone along side shutting down projects like this. When people are in short term survival mode they don’t have the option of worrying about the long term effects on the planet.
Regarding your mention of hypocrisy, I think it is safe to say that there are those of us who do not understand why there are so many well known and vocal representatives of this sort of movement who in essence preach to the rest of us while they have a larger carbon footprint than I will ever have. I live as environmentally friendly as I can. Recycle, reuse, upcycle, buy thrift, etc. I fly somewhere maybe once every 10 years. We stay close to home and do staycations, only travelling if there is a funeral to attend and that is maybe every 5-10 years. We grow some of our own food organically. We keep our vehicles for at least 20 years. We live in a small 1000sf house. We recycle our grey water. We use rainwater harvesting. We will never see the world (except through travel channels we watch) but we will have practiced what we preached while not being perfect but at least trying not to be complete hypocrites. Greenpeace uses a ton of diesel travelling all over. I'm truly surprised they don't just rely on their sails to practice what they preach. Why not row out to see sealife instead of motor out? Why do Bill Gates and Al Gore have private jets and live in HUGE houses? Why do they get to buy their way out of their carbon footprints which is a joke? I used to watch Ed Begley Jr and he walked the walk or at least seemed to. Good man. I stopped attending church because I was tired of them preaching one thing and doing another. The deacon sleeping with the sunday school teacher's wife for example. To me, many of these activists are no different. I will continue to try and do better and be better but I see many mouths like BG And AG that should just shut up because they are THE reason people think it's a mockery to care about the environment. They expect us pee-ons to bicycle to work while they take a limo. Yeah, whatever. I hope the whales are not harmed. Thank you for sharing.
Ignore the Woodside troll
@@malcolm120 Very productive use of your time. Does that work for you to get people to care more about the environment? I'm going to guess not. I'd never even heard of Woodside before this video. Smh.
Happy birthday, Riley! This was my favorite episode so far!! Thanks for bringing this drilling thing to attention! Signed and shared!!
Signed! Thanks for showing us this. So many people live unaware. Big love ❤
Brilliant job at presenting a subject that can divide viewers, with total respect for all. Not easily done. You guys are brave and inspiring. Thank you 🙏
Totally agree, delicate subject handled very well, well done Elayna and Riley.
Just don't bring up the gender subject.
I feel like a lot of people have forgotten how to be nuanced, mostly on social media, there are no eyes to face in the moment and look directly into. To really get a feel for where a person may be coming from, so often times words just get spewed out without regard or thought. We must remember, we are all human and therefore imperfect. We also need to remember how to be compassionate, to empathize, and understand where another is coming from. I don’t know how you UA-cam influencers do this, you have to have some pretty tough skin and mental fortitude to block out those negative voices, it can not be easy. Love your channel been watching for years now. ❤❤❤
Wow I love that female team on the boat. You are amazing at everything you do. This is incredible. Love the whales and cried at the same time. GreenPeace , keep up the great work. Thank you for spreading all this wonderful knowledge 🫶🫶We need more people to fight for our oceans. Beautiful under water footage too ❤️❤️❤️ Love you guys
Yeah, and if it was an all male crew, they would be accused of gender bias and sexism and chauvinism and blah blah blah
You guys are taking your channel to the next level. Love your work!
I love this episode! I’ve been a Greenpeace local volunteer for years, and the organisation really tries hard to move the needle on things that matter for our environment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing this to your viewers! ❤❤❤ Also happy birthday Riley!
I think this was your most beautiful underwater footage ever. And I have seen every single SLV video.
Thank you for taking the time to enlighten us all about the reality of the oceans. As you said, we will not be without anything if they don't move forward with the project, so for the sake of protecting ocean life, why not refrain, Woodside? 🥰😎
Good onya Guys, well done regardless of what comments you receive there is no right or wrong and what strong beliefs you have are appreciated. Thank you for the opportunity to allow us all to partake in the duties associated with GreenPeace and the Rainbow warrior III
Children enrich the lives of everyone around them. I’m sure the crew was so happy to have them.
What an amazing opportunity and amazing video. This is fantastic ❤
Another great video! Love the format you are using. The underwater video was awesome and was the best part, so beautiful. Greenpeace is a great organization to support. Loved the tour of the boat. What an awesome experience!!
The kids are very cute and "normal" . I am sure all kids are naughty at times. No one else seemed to notice but you.
I am sure at least Lenny will remember this time. What a privilege. Great episode, well worth the wait.
Also love the females in key positions.
This was an incredible production you guys. Just Wow. Those reef shots & Elay diving down below. Shivers all the way thru. A balanced approach to start to appeal to broad audience and then tugged on the heartstrings of everyone watching in the end. Superb filmmaking, editing and storytelling. And what an important cause to knock it out of the park with. Bravo all around. Keep up the good fight GreenPeace, these places are worth fighting for. Cheers
Dr. Meynecke's heart shows loud and clear across the thousands of miles❤❤❤
Greenpeace do amazing work helping to save our planet and animals.I did a Greenpeace charity walk a few years ago titled Save the Whales,that was before I started having problems with pain in my hips..Thanks guys for posting this vlog and highlighting the good work of Greenpeace and showing us what a beautiful planet we have,and we don't want it any more polluted by big fat rich companies
Good fair assessment off the top, the vast majority are not in the position to make the transition. Patience and education required. Living a minimalist lifestyle requires sacrifice and dedication. Thank you, you guys for endeavouring and doing your best and sharing!
Awesome. You can definitely feel the kind hearted nature of the people onboard.
I have watched all you content from the beginning (I am from wa) and this is one of your best videos, definitely not in my face but you definitely let me see the reality of what the dangers are if we just let the mining companies keep going!!! Thanks and enjoy Europe 👍
I still very much remember when the French blew up the 1st Rainbow Warrior! I still have a picture of myself from when I was around 10 saying Save the Whales! Im so beyond proud of you guys for showing this side of the story and I was holding back the tears (happy/sentimental ones) but I let them flow for our Ocean and the damage we as a species are doing to the voiceless marine life. Thankyou xox
The amazing and wonderful life that you two are giving to your boys cannot be understated. They say that parents are only here to be memories for their children, and in your case you’re giving them some wonderful ones.
It was an incredibly valuable episode. So greatful that you use your platform to spread this message. I’m a Greenpeace Poland activist and it most of the time feels like we are alone in our fight. Your voice makes a huge difference and makes this journey easier. Great thanks ❤
