I appreciate all your support for Australia! I’m a firefighter in the NSW RFS and we are all exhausted with no breaks. I love getting the rare down time to watch your weekly vlog, I have a passion for boats but no time away from the chaos. You guys bring me closer to the water, Cheers 🔥👩🚒❤️
Dear sweet Elayna, you are a fantastic mom! I’m sorry you always explain yourself regarding Lenny’s safety but I understand others will say something if you don’t. I adore y’alls videos. Your relationship is so sweet and pure. Your family is precious and kind. Thank you for sharing your beautiful parts of the world with us.
My wife and I LOVE watching your adventures and now that this has become "The Lenny Show" we LOOOOVE it even more!! You guys are the best parents and the sweetest family ever!
Thank you for starting a fundraiser in regards to the fires. In my extended family we lost 2 homes on nye. One in conjola and one in Bateman bay. It’s truly devastating. I am so grateful I haven’t lost any of my humans but the same can’t be said for everyone in this country. That and the loss of wildlife and bush is truly breaking my heart though. Anyone from Australia reading this please in the very least leave out some birdseed, fruit and water for the animals regardless where you are. Even without the fires the severe drought is severely affecting all wildlife so please help them in even this small way. Every little thing makes a difference. Much love x
i just donated to the Kangaroo Island GoFundMe 💜 as a Californian who has seen her state ravaged by wildfires in recent years, I am feeling the sadness for Australia especially deeply. May you all get through this and recover well. Ultimately, our planet's environment is at risk which affect us ALL, so we should all be rallying to preserve and recover as much of it as we can x
You are such a nice family! I almost cried of happiness with you giving fish, you restore my faith in Humankind, thank you people from the Light. I was on a boat very close to you in Portugal. Sweet people
My Dad who is in his 50s, started using TH-cam for the first time like three months ago, and the only Channel he has viewed is yours lol. He has been repeatedly telling me "Do you watch TH-cam, there is a Channel titled "Sailing La Vagabonde", this family sails around the world on a boat, you have got to watch it". So here I am, and I must admit you are very positive, and just a joy to watch. Dad if you see this, I have accomplished the mission lol!!
I just recently moved onto a motor yacht with my dad because of these videos! You have motivated us both and we can’t thank you enough for that! Love you guys and keep it up! :)
I know this won’t sound like much, but you both have inspired me. From watching your videos from 3 years ago to now, you just make me feel like even though it isn’t easy to keep on going, you just have to. You make me WANT to keep on going, keep on trying. Because of all the hard and challenging obstacles you both have over come, you keep a smile on your faces. That’s why and how you inspire me ;)
Thanks for coming up the east coast and showing the beauty of our coast. Block island is amazing and I'm glad you got to see it! Hope to see you guys back again ⛵️
She seems like a great mom and great parents. So inspirational. What a life. Traveling at sea and talking to viewers about your adventures. That's really cool.🤗
The go fund me is doing so well! God bless both of y’all and Lenny! The world needs more people like y’all since the government does almost nothing for the environment!
so grateful youre supporting KI, i haven't seen enough support for it specifically so far within the bushfire relief efforts. i love kangaroo island so much and as a fellow SA local, i am so grateful. love watching you guys, x
You guys have got me in tears!! I thought I couldn’t cry anymore for our country but clearly you’ve hit a cord with me and I’m so grateful we have Aussies like you guys supporting such a needed effort to rebuild such a beautiful part of Australia. I’m in NSW and have many friends who have lost everything, we’ve had a shit time here since October really and by the start of December it was getting beyond anything any Australians had ever seen or could imagine and then before our eyes it just got 1000 times worse, we’ve lost so many Australian people, RFS volunteers and even 3 Americans who came to help our country fight a fight that’s no where near over and the now over one million in wildlife that been lost also is beyond devastating but it’s still getting more devastating by the day! It’s. Unbelievable really!! Even just now I’m watching the ACT being hit really really hard, it is really such a hard thing to describe, and to see and hear the heartache from all of the losses, and the continued loss is heartbreaking but amongst that you’ve given me hope, Thank You. It’s heartwarming that you are using your platform you’ve created to support such a worthy cause and you’ve by far exceeded what your planned target was and that makes me a bloody proud Aussie to see you doing just that. I personally cant wait until you guys do, one day, come home and show our country off to the rest of the world by sailing around our great country. Thank You, Fair seas to you all and take care xoxoxo
Thanks again for a wonderful video. I retire in 12 months and hope to see you at sea. Lenny reminds me so much of my son at that age. Cherish every second you can with him, as they grow up so fast. I lost my boy at 22 in Iraq and wish I could go back to that time again and hold him when he was sleeping. Safe travels
You 2 but a smile on my face, but when I see your cute little boy Lenny it makes me feel so happy and joy. He melts my heart. Keep up the great work on the vlogs.
Ahoy maties, You're sailing here in my old fishing grounds on these New England adventures. I grew up on Connecticut's shoreline and summered on Cape Cod's Nantucket Sound. Good times fishing for Strippers and Blue's in August and September. Martha's Vineyard has a great Stripped Bass fishing contest in the month of September, after most of the summer crowds have dissipated. The locals love it and good eating for sure. Lenny's looking great and getting to be quite the little adventurer. The terrible two's will be the next challenge as he learns to toddle and scampers about. You'll have to put a harness on him and tether him to the boat. My brother's two boys were on leashes for a couple of years whenever he was aboard his or other boats. They didn't like it too much but that's how it was handled. Captain's orders mate! I'm now in southern California and can sympathize with the fires in AUS. We have loads of Eucalyptus trees that burn like mad when the weather blows hot and dry. They were imported from Australia in the late 1800's to provide timber for railroad ties in the dryer reaches of SoCal. It's a real tragedy about all the wildlife being so devastatingly impacted. My thoughts, prayers and sympathies to all those impacted. ------------- If you are recording video after sunset, and have good luck with clear skies, you might catch Venus and the Moon as you travel around. Venus is often mistaken as a UFO because it gets so bright. Binoculars add to the view. Bright Venus (the 'Evening Star'), now well above the sunset twilight, is the lone, very bright point of light above the western horizon. It sets a few hours after the Sun. Currently, Venus is getting higher each successive night as it comes around from behind the Sun (superior conjunction). It will continue to get higher until March 24, 2020 when it reaches 46 degrees east of the Sun. It will achieve it's greatest illumination on April 27th, 2020. Venus will pair nicely with the waxing crescent Moon in successive months on the evenings of Jan 27th & 28th, Feb 25th & 26th, March 27th & 28th and April 25th & 26th (a good one!). Venus will then begin to descend quickly in the month of May to have it's final conjunction with both the Moon and Mercury on May 23rd & 24th, before disappearing into the sunset around June 1st. It then passes in front of the Sun (inferior conjunction) to become the 'Morning Star', slowly rising each day in the eastern twilight before sunrise, come early June and on through the rest of the year 2020. Jupiter and Saturn are still on the far side of the Sun , but will soon begin to rise in the eastern morning skies. Jupiter leads the way by about an hour and then Saturn will follow. Come February, they'll both be up before dawn and will get one degree higher each day. Follow them all year long as they close in on each other for a 'Grand Conjunction' on Dec 21, 2020 (Northern Winter Solstice), and by then in the evening sky. These Grand Conjunctions happen only every 20 years, so it's worth it to follow along now. ------------- When in the southern hemisphere's summer (late Dec or early Jan), the Sun travels high overhead and the Full Moon travels lower, closer to the horizon. At the same time (late Dec or early Jan), in the northern hemisphere, the opposite is true. The Full Moon travels high overhead and the winter Sun travels lower toward the horizon. When you travel between the two hemispheres, note the difference. Everything rises in the east and sets in the west. Fair enough. The trick is whether The Sun, Moon and Planets rise in the NORTH-east or the SOUTH-east (and similarly set in the NORTH-west or the SOUTH-west). The stars are constant and serve as the frame of reference (thus Constellations). It's the 23 degree angle of the ecliptic to the equator that varies over the course of a year that produces the 46 degree variance. (23 degrees north AND south = 46 degrees total. A significant and quite noticeable effect!) I'm often impressed with your images of the stars, planets and moon and would love to hear you enunciate what direction you're sighting them, as well as what the GMT time is. That will give the information needed to recon your position. I'd also love to hear you standardize your performance reports with wind-speed, wind direction (both relative and true), boat speed, boat heading, sail trim, currents and tides. If you make that a disciplined habit, your innate navigator will become well honed and be able to dead recon very well, should you have to. Sailors are made, not born. ------------- As always, love the videos and look forward to the next. Cheers! …
Hey guys been watching you for many years now and think it's amazing what you are doing to help SA, the fire fighter in your video giving water to the koala is my partner Daniel from the Adelaide hills 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😍
while eating lunch I'm letting my self watch ONE video. I chose another video but then a notification came up for this video and I IMMEDIATELY switched over. i live for your videos they make me so happy
I wish I had known about your channel last year. I just love Kangaroo Island, it’s so beautiful. Mom and I made kangaroo pouches last year and gave them to a local group that were shipping them... I hope they made it there. It still breaks my heart seeing the imagine of what happened across the country and to the animals.
Nothing more beautiful than the love a mother has for her child. You did good Riley! Your videos are the antidote for the intolerance of this society. It builds bridges while showing us what's important in life. Good on ya!
Lennie is so precious! You guys are doing a great job with having baby on board your boat. I had a friend who owned a home on Block Island. She stayed there i believe from April till June each year. I finally got ticsee it because if you being there. Thankyou both so much for sharing your wonderful adventures with us. Its a real pleasure to watch you!!! Thanks so much. ❤❤❤
You guys do an amazing thing , living life in a very small floating home , not many parents go through the struggles that u do and some things u dk is life threatening and scary , credit to you for that , u make it look so easy when realistically this is probably one of the hardest jobs as parents , well done , you inspire so many young and older people
You mentioned our fires guys thanks heaps keep us in you're thoughts and prayers and I know u are from South aus if u haven't herd kangaroo island has had another fire outbreak x
I just LOVE the purity with which you live! Thanks for walking the walk, because so many others simply talk the talk and then hop on their private plane to the next event at which they are celebrated. Next stop for me: Kangaroo Island donation. Thanks, guys!
I love watching your videos every Monday. I'm only 22 but you and Riley have inspired my fiance and I to buy a boat, hopefully in the next 10 years or so, and travel the world just like you. Thanks for putting these videos up and we look forward to seeing more! Cheers!
"boat jobs" which are a continuing part of being on any vessel. Don't forget to always take cable ties(more than you think you need) and small cutters for any visit up the mast, some lube, and at least 1 adjustable wrench, pair of water pump..or 'channel lock' pliers, and some electrical tape. Still have a little belt pouch I used anytime going up. The fires have been absolutely horrendous, and have donated already, in fact have been a supporter of the The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital for many yrs. back, having visited starting in 2008, in fact there is a picture of me on a old wooden sailing ship there we visited at that time. Even though I'm US born and bred. (www.koalahospital.org.au/act-now ,for anyone that wants to help them too) But must admit, all my support had been for NSW, and for that reason, and because We must all help, just got back from donating to your fund for SA, and K.I. in particular. Even though I'm of limited means right now, we all have to save this incredible area. This world is smaller than we think..and everyone of us needs to realize when something happens somewhere, it affects all of us! Sorry for the book I've written, but it all needed to be said, hope you lot are well, and Lenny gets any cuter he's going to be a movie star ;)
Thanks for supporting KI, my island home. Just to reiterate, KI's major industry is farming. Which is mostly what was burnt in these fires, ours being one. So would be good to hear about farming a little more.
Your camera lady is excellent! She always seems to be in the right place at the right time, getting the great angles and best viewfinder perspective. . . . Bet your editor is happy to work with her magical footage. ; ) Always enjoy the simple beauty captured in these episodes!
You have lost all control of your channel. It's no longer SLV but "The Lenny Show!" LOL Love it! He's just so ADORABLE! He has Riley's eyes too! It's so sad what's happening in Australia..so much loss...
I have gone to block island two times now, each time to go biking with my scout troop. It's such a nice place to reset with your friends, and get a good workout while biking! It was so cool watching you guys explore places I have ridden through, Love the videos!
What's come to me to tell you is try scouting around for a vessel you can get for next to nothing, but is salvageable. Like you would do with a used car, take along an old sailor with you before you buy. Park it somewhere and work on it a little at a time until you've realized your dream. Start mate. Don't just keep dreaming. Hold garage sales, etc. to raise funds. I hope this helps.
Start reading books at your library on how to sail. That’s FREE. If you live near the ocean the Coast Guard has classes on boating regulations & safety typically free and also if you live near a marina they usually have sailing races in the warm months and typically boats are alway looking for people to help crew for free in boats like La Vagabond or racing mono hauls and marines usually have sailing lessons in small boats. And, if there is a College or University near water by you, they typically have sailing lessons too. Call your local Marina. Your library also might have sailing magazines for you to look at free. Just make the first steps. Good luck 🍀
What a Beautiful Family you guys are.....It's so Wonderful to see you having so much fun,Especially with the wee man.I love the little dude...You guys have made my day...Ausssie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi...Brings back so many memories.☺
Hey Guys! Dont know if you will see this comment, but just wanted to reach out and say that you guys are the best. I feel like I could watch your videos all day. Never have I had a content creator make 10-20 minute videos just fly by. You guys have the best videos and the content is both relaxing, but at the same time keeps me so interested. i dont know if you guys have ever been to the west coast of the US, but let me tell you San Diego and mexico are amazing to sail. SO many cool islands and great city/maritime life. Hope to see you guys make it to the pacific in the near future!!!
Hi guys! First of all Happy new year to you and to every one on this Chanel! Baby Leny is so nice, so gentle. About Australia we are so sade here in Brittany. I have been few times in Australia, Perth and Darwin, I love your country.Thanks for the link, I'll talk to friends of mine and we will do following our means. Kind regards from France.
Been away for awhile glad to see you guys are doing well Lenny is so cute at 7:24 reminded me so much of my son Jesse when he was that age when he first woke up the joy in their eyes when they know they're about to get out of their crib, thanks so much for sharing. be safe out there CHEERS🍻
Great relaxing episode in Block Island. Just want to thank you for helping out Kangaroo Island, the people and the animals!! Fair winds and following seas La Vagabonde!
We live on the mail land in South Australia close to KI, we’ve had ash covering our yard and the paddling pool was black! It’s horrendous the devastation on KI. Thanks for hopefully bringing it to the global stage. We are beyond numb from it all here.
Great videos, so inspirational just love watching every episode. Lenny is so lucky to have so much love in his life. Stay safe and stay happy, you are a lovely couple x
Love you guys. This has been great, watching you sail to Montauk, go to NYC, and now Block Island...all places I've sailed & spent a lot of time myself. Looking forward to Newport, another favorite! My heart💔for Australia.
Wow what a beautiful catamaran. I am in the RV travelling field, but this is refreshing. One of my former co workers is going to retire on a catamaran.
I just finished watching every video yes EVERY VIDEO not just the episodes. It took me just over a week of solid bingeing. Watching many videos when I should be working. And I loved every part. I really wish you guys explored more of Malta and a huge missed opportunity not going to the blue lagoon and azure window what is sadly no more. Yes the lagoon is a heavily tourist populated place but still worth it IMO. A few videos ago you asked to share our story. If you have inspired us to do something other than sail. My answer is a big yes. I’ve decided to buy a 4x4 and start travelling around Australia. I love your videos and I’m going to follow your channel religiously. Oh yeah and also Riley’s dad with the goats was hilarious. I actually couldn’t stop laughing and then many episodes later he comes back and goes straight back to talking about more goats 😂. 1 more thing Daniel deserved a better send off.
Thanks for the link and the opportunity to contribute in whatever small way I can. This has been just absolutely devastating and I'm grateful you're bringing it to the attention of your wide audience. Blessings to your sweet family~
Love the Block, my wife and I spent a week there for our 15 anniversary and ended up hunkered down during a Hurricane that hit. It wasn’t too bad we had a lot of frozen mudslides sitting at a bar in one of the bigger hotels in the main harbor.
If U didn't see, Henry Cavill is now a big fan and started binging ur vids. He put it up in his insta story
I freaked when I saw!!!!!
This is how I found this channel thanks too Henry Cavill 😁
Subscribed because of Henry 🔥💖 love your content!!!
I'm here bcos of Henry
I KNOW.
Oh my goodness - Shahid, the receiver of your fish offering - he's a regular here at our store in North Carolina!! Small world just got smaller.
Lori Wagoner that’s really cool!
Sub, living in Washington, NC! Maybe even smaller now. LoL! A+!!! 👍👍👍
I live in Beaufort NC. Where are you located?
I visit oriental quite regularly too.
Oh gosh so nice. Fun fun fun.
I appreciate all your support for Australia! I’m a firefighter in the NSW RFS and we are all exhausted with no breaks. I love getting the rare down time to watch your weekly vlog, I have a passion for boats but no time away from the chaos. You guys bring me closer to the water, Cheers 🔥👩🚒❤️
Thank you for your efforts Kirsty !!
Thank you for everything you’re doing
Be safe fighting those fires.
Thank you and be safe! Love from Sydney
Dear sweet Elayna, you are a fantastic mom! I’m sorry you always explain yourself regarding Lenny’s safety but I understand others will say something if you don’t.
I adore y’alls videos. Your relationship is so sweet and pure. Your family is precious and kind. Thank you for sharing your beautiful parts of the world with us.
Should give Lenny a gopro so he can attempt to film and call it "lenny cam".
Yes
I look forward to seeing Lenny the most :) his smile is so infectious x
My wife and I LOVE watching your adventures and now that this has become "The Lenny Show" we LOOOOVE it even more!! You guys are the best parents and the sweetest family ever!
Thank you for starting a fundraiser in regards to the fires. In my extended family we lost 2 homes on nye. One in conjola and one in Bateman bay. It’s truly devastating.

May you all get through this and recover well. Ultimately, our planet's environment is at risk which affect us ALL, so we should all be rallying to preserve and recover as much of it as we can x
I love how you take the time to give extra food to fellow travelers instead of chucking it for the sharks!
You are such a nice family! I almost cried of happiness with you giving fish, you restore my faith in Humankind, thank you people from the Light. I was on a boat very close to you in Portugal. Sweet people
I can't think of a better way to grow up than on a boat like this. Lenny is a lucky guy.
My Dad who is in his 50s, started using TH-cam for the first time like three months ago, and the only Channel he has viewed is yours lol. He has been repeatedly telling me "Do you watch TH-cam, there is a Channel titled "Sailing La Vagabonde", this family sails around the world on a boat, you have got to watch it". So here I am, and I must admit you are very positive, and just a joy to watch. Dad if you see this, I have accomplished the mission lol!!
I just recently moved onto a motor yacht with my dad because of these videos! You have motivated us both and we can’t thank you enough for that! Love you guys and keep it up! :)
Will you be recording your adventures ??
Sydney Grace yes hopefully :) thank you for asking
I know this won’t sound like much, but you both have inspired me.
From watching your videos from 3 years ago to now, you just make me feel like even though it isn’t easy to keep on going, you just have to. You make me WANT to keep on going, keep on trying. Because of all the hard and challenging obstacles you both have over come, you keep a smile on your faces. That’s why and how you inspire me ;)
Lenny is just like Bam Bam from the Flintstones. 😂
Dennis M 😂
Thanks for coming up the east coast and showing the beauty of our coast. Block island is amazing and I'm glad you got to see it! Hope to see you guys back again ⛵️
I can relax now I’ve just had my video fix thanks Elayna Riley and Lenny, love you all ❤️❤️❤️👍❤️👍💐💐💐flowers for you Elayna
She seems like a great mom and great parents. So inspirational. What a life. Traveling at sea and talking to viewers about your adventures. That's really cool.🤗
How could you ever doubt their love for Lenny; honestly think they would do anything for him x
@free speech is no more fascism is alive and well 2 No not like any parent. My parents wish I was dead .
The go fund me is doing so well! God bless both of y’all and Lenny! The world needs more people like y’all since the government does almost nothing for the environment!
It's actually so crazy to see you guys explore a place I call home!
So Awesome they are pulling time here in the US. They passed me in Eastern North Carolina and I felt funny and positive. 👍👍👍
Thanks for cutting away from the nappy change!! Prayers for Australia and it's people. Australia Strong!!
My heart goes out to all Australia now. Have donated and will do so again.❤
DivaHill12 ,,💖Thank you very much💖There is so much devastation🔥🔥🦘🐨..So Sad, my country is still on fire 😔✋🏻🕊
so grateful youre supporting KI, i haven't seen enough support for it specifically so far within the bushfire relief efforts.
i love kangaroo island so much and as a fellow SA local, i am so grateful.
love watching you guys, x
I love how kind and generous you are! Lenny is truly blessed to have amazing parents! He’s going to be an outstanding human ❤️
You guys have got me in tears!!

Stayed for the incredible content
Jina you’re not the only one 🙋♀️
Yeah very true. Just wanted to check the channel out from what Henry and I stayed
Thanks again for a wonderful video. I retire in 12 months and hope to see you at sea. Lenny reminds me so much of my son at that age. Cherish every second you can with him, as they grow up so fast. I lost my boy at 22 in Iraq and wish I could go back to that time again and hold him when he was sleeping. Safe travels
That capture of Lenny’s chubby little toes on those steps was so cute! Lol!
Donated...also have extended family in Australia. Beautiful country...hope things improve very soon over there! Lenny is a Legend!!
Thank you to everyone who donated I've just looked and your support is so beautiful 💜
Both my daughters are in NSW. Thank god both are safe, but many are not. You both have hearts of gold for setting up this fund.
You 2 but a smile on my face, but when I see your cute little boy Lenny it makes me feel so happy and joy. He melts my heart. Keep up the great work on the vlogs.

👍 donation made, good luck with raising more funds. So sad to see the devastation in Australia, Heartbreaking.
Hey guys been watching you for many years now and think it's amazing what you are doing to help SA, the fire fighter in your video giving water to the koala is my partner Daniel from the Adelaide hills 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😍
G'Day Georgia. Give Daniel a handshake from me and a massive hug from all Australians. Thank you
Thanks Craig will do! All our firefighters have been doing such an amazing job!
while eating lunch I'm letting my self watch ONE video. I chose another video but then a notification came up for this video and I IMMEDIATELY switched over. i live for your videos they make me so happy
I wish I had known about your channel last year. I just love Kangaroo Island, it’s so beautiful. Mom and I made kangaroo pouches last year and gave them to a local group that were shipping them... I hope they made it there. It still breaks my heart seeing the imagine of what happened across the country and to the animals.
Sending so much love and support from my family here in the midd of the firegrounds NSW Australia 💜
Prayers!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Love how the guy in his boat still feels as a Basque, sailors country!! Hope you three and the rebel from Houston will visit us some day
Ahh yes, after my first day back to college, this is a lovely way to relax a bit! Love you guys!!
Nothing more beautiful than the love a mother has for her child. You did good Riley! Your videos are the antidote for the intolerance of this society. It builds bridges while showing us what's important in life. Good on ya!
Lenny is hitting a growing spurt. They will sleep a lot more when they are growing. He is such a cute, little boy.. 😊
Lennie is so precious! You guys are doing a great job with having baby on board your boat. I had a friend who owned a home on Block Island. She stayed there i believe from April till June each year. I finally got ticsee it because if you being there. Thankyou both so much for sharing your wonderful adventures with us. Its a real pleasure to watch you!!! Thanks so much. ❤❤❤
That "look" Elayna gave while cuddling Lenny...absolutely priceless.
You guys do an amazing thing , living life in a very small floating home , not many parents go through the struggles that u do and some things u dk is life threatening and scary , credit to you for that , u make it look so easy when realistically this is probably one of the hardest jobs as parents , well done , you inspire so many young and older people
You mentioned our fires guys thanks heaps keep us in you're thoughts and prayers and I know u are from South aus if u haven't herd kangaroo island has had another fire outbreak x
I just LOVE the purity with which you live! Thanks for walking the walk, because so many others simply talk the talk and then hop on their private plane to the next event at which they are celebrated. Next stop for me: Kangaroo Island donation. Thanks, guys!
That neighbours reaction was so cute!!
I love watching your videos every Monday. I'm only 22 but you and Riley have inspired my fiance and I to buy a boat, hopefully in the next 10 years or so, and travel the world just like you. Thanks for putting these videos up and we look forward to seeing more! Cheers!
"boat jobs" which are a continuing part of being on any vessel. Don't forget to always take cable ties(more than you think you need) and small cutters for any visit up the mast, some lube, and at least 1 adjustable wrench, pair of water pump..or 'channel lock' pliers, and some electrical tape. Still have a little belt pouch I used anytime going up.
The fires have been absolutely horrendous, and have donated already, in fact have been a supporter of the The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital for many yrs. back, having visited starting in 2008, in fact there is a picture of me on a old wooden sailing ship there we visited at that time. Even though I'm US born and bred. (www.koalahospital.org.au/act-now ,for anyone that wants to help them too)
But must admit, all my support had been for NSW, and for that reason, and because We must all help, just got back from donating to your fund for SA, and K.I. in particular. Even though I'm of limited means right now, we all have to save this incredible area. This world is smaller than we think..and everyone of us needs to realize when something happens somewhere, it affects all of us! Sorry for the book I've written, but it all needed to be said, hope you lot are well, and Lenny gets any cuter he's going to be a movie star ;)
Thanks for supporting KI, my island home. Just to reiterate, KI's major industry is farming. Which is mostly what was burnt in these fires, ours being one. So would be good to hear about farming a little more.
Limited edition Tee shirt La Vega to help the Kangaroo Island folks! Just Saying!!! You 3 are Legends!
Watch you three all the time and have since your monohull days. The frustrated dog was a nice touch! Keep up the awesome adventure and great vlogging!
At 5.00, Lenny's bangin' the table, again. lol
And Lenny is cute. When is he the cutest? When he's asleep. LOL
Parents, you gotta love 'em.
Your camera lady is excellent! She always seems to be in the right place at the right time, getting the great angles and best viewfinder perspective. . . . Bet your editor is happy to work with her magical footage. ; ) Always enjoy the simple beauty captured in these episodes!
At 10:45 thats how I climb steps when I'm hammered lol.
You have lost all control of your channel. It's no longer SLV but "The Lenny Show!" LOL Love it! He's just so ADORABLE! He has Riley's eyes too! It's so sad what's happening in Australia..so much loss...
Old man in van " yea most of these building are Victorian"
Elayna " most of these buildings are from the 1980's
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂
She had to mean 1880's. I caught that too.
victoria is an era not a style of homes too
guitar911rock Victoria is a name, Victorian is an era 😜😁😂
@@HandyC that too:)
guitar911rock It is actually both.
I have gone to block island two times now, each time to go biking with my scout troop. It's such a nice place to reset with your friends, and get a good workout while biking! It was so cool watching you guys explore places I have ridden through, Love the videos!
I want a life like this so bad but I don’t know where to even start🥺
Simple, Elayna, Will you adopt me? I'm a 66 year old man and I'm sure I'll be in diapers some day. : ) Lol ew
What's come to me to tell you is try scouting around for a vessel you can get for next to nothing, but is salvageable. Like you would do with a used car, take along an old sailor with you before you buy. Park it somewhere and work on it a little at a time until you've realized your dream. Start mate. Don't just keep dreaming. Hold garage sales, etc. to raise funds. I hope this helps.
Dean Jones thank you so much! I appreciate this information
Start reading books at your library on how to sail. That’s FREE. If you live near the ocean the Coast Guard has classes on boating regulations & safety typically free and also if you live near a marina they usually have sailing races in the warm months and typically boats are alway looking for people to help crew for free in boats like La Vagabond or racing mono hauls and marines usually have sailing lessons in small boats. And, if there is a College or University near water by you, they typically have sailing lessons too. Call your local Marina. Your library also might have sailing magazines for you to look at free. Just make the first steps. Good luck 🍀
start in the water?
What a Beautiful Family you guys are.....It's so Wonderful to see you having so much fun,Especially with the wee man.I love the little dude...You guys have made my day...Ausssie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi...Brings back so many memories.☺
The world is reaaaally small if you find a guy from Spain, and specifically from the basque country on a random boat hahahaha
Lenny is so cute and getting so big. Love you long hair. I'm really sorry to hear about the fires. I think it's awesome you guys are helping.
The fires are terrible, my family are in East Gippsland, such a heartbreaking time 💔
Hi ;-) Riley, Elayna and sweet Lenny! Thanks for taking us along! LOL, Lenny's getting fast on those stairs! Prayers for Australia!
And all of this time I thought nothing could break as much as an RV, but I think sailboats might have us beat!!!
Hey Guys! Dont know if you will see this comment, but just wanted to reach out and say that you guys are the best. I feel like I could watch your videos all day. Never have I had a content creator make 10-20 minute videos just fly by. You guys have the best videos and the content is both relaxing, but at the same time keeps me so interested. i dont know if you guys have ever been to the west coast of the US, but let me tell you San Diego and mexico are amazing to sail. SO many cool islands and great city/maritime life. Hope to see you guys make it to the pacific in the near future!!!
Riley: “You sound like a junkie” 😂😂 what a true Aussie
Hi guys! First of all Happy new year to you and to every one on this Chanel! Baby Leny is so nice, so gentle.
About Australia we are so sade here in Brittany. I have been few times in Australia, Perth and Darwin, I love your country.Thanks for the link, I'll talk to friends of mine and we will do following our means.
Kind regards from France.
ohhh no!! 😢 koalas. will donate what i can. 🙇♀️
Instantly recognised the Gladiator reference, haven't watch that film in years!!! Love your videos, could binge-watch all day! Thank you!
That baby needs so teething toys, will keep him from grinding his teeth.. We love y'all content...
Been away for awhile glad to see you guys are doing well Lenny is so cute at 7:24 reminded me so much of my son Jesse when he was that age when he first woke up the joy in their eyes when they know they're about to get out of their crib, thanks so much for sharing. be safe out there
CHEERS🍻
I wait up every week for these 3!!!
Great relaxing episode in Block Island. Just want to thank you for helping out Kangaroo Island, the people and the animals!! Fair winds and following seas La Vagabonde!
You are gonna have to put a safety line and GPS on that baby very soon! : )
It’s nice to see that you guys are supporting KI, I’m about 400kms away from adelaide so very close to home. So sad 😞
At 0:03 I thought Elayna was laughing
The audio test is to compare 0:03 with 0:18 by quickly alternating on each of the minute marks in this comments section and making your decision.
We live on the mail land in South Australia close to KI, we’ve had ash covering our yard and the paddling pool was black! It’s horrendous the devastation on KI. Thanks for hopefully bringing it to the global stage. We are beyond numb from it all here.
Like I said Lenny is a natural drummer.So cute.
LOVE Mondays 😍 New La Vagabonde vlogs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Prayers for Australia 🙏🏽 My family is in Puerto Rico and getting hit with nonstop earthquakes
My son grinds his teeth too. Been doing it since he was one. Drives me crazy. I’ve given up. He’s 28 now.
Lenny tippy Toe’d is Sooo Cute.
😎 👍 Another Great 👍 video Guys. Stay Safe and Have Fun. I’m a Fan for like 6-7 months now, from Chicago.
Great videos, so inspirational just love watching every episode. Lenny is so lucky to have so much love in his life. Stay safe and stay happy, you are a lovely couple x
Haha, at 0:04 Lenny has that someone who's rethinking their life decisions look.
Love you guys. This has been great, watching you sail to Montauk, go to NYC, and now Block Island...all places I've sailed & spent a lot of time myself. Looking forward to Newport, another favorite! My heart💔for Australia.
2:47 sooooo happy I love the way Australians say that I'm from America and we say so happy and they so ye LMAFO love you Elena
I hear that Superman is now a fan of your productions! Maybe you should invite him for a sail on La Vaga????
Lenny is definitely the star of this show!!!
Wow what a beautiful catamaran. I am in the RV travelling field, but this is refreshing. One of my former co workers is going to retire on a catamaran.
This made my day❤️
I just finished watching every video yes EVERY VIDEO not just the episodes. It took me just over a week of solid bingeing. Watching many videos when I should be working. And I loved every part. I really wish you guys explored more of Malta and a huge missed opportunity not going to the blue lagoon and azure window what is sadly no more. Yes the lagoon is a heavily tourist populated place but still worth it IMO. A few videos ago you asked to share our story. If you have inspired us to do something other than sail. My answer is a big yes. I’ve decided to buy a 4x4 and start travelling around Australia. I love your videos and I’m going to follow your channel religiously. Oh yeah and also Riley’s dad with the goats was hilarious. I actually couldn’t stop laughing and then many episodes later he comes back and goes straight back to talking about more goats 😂. 1 more thing Daniel deserved a better send off.
I still hold my son that way. He’s 14 now. I love my boy.
@@svamandolin3546 or respect him as an individual and dont hug him if he says no or is uncomfortable?
Thanks for the link and the opportunity to contribute in whatever small way I can. This has been just absolutely devastating and I'm grateful you're bringing it to the attention of your wide audience. Blessings to your sweet family~
Give Lenny about 3 years and he'll be climbing the mast lol
Love the Block, my wife and I spent a week there for our 15 anniversary and ended up hunkered down during a Hurricane that hit. It wasn’t too bad we had a lot of frozen mudslides sitting at a bar in one of the bigger hotels in the main harbor.
