I'm Portuguese and was on vacation in Lagos around the time of filming. The lifeguard you mention @ 1:59 freaks out with every motor boat since Meia Praia beach is very near the port entrance and there's always a lot of maritime traffic possibly unsafe to swimmers (the jet-sky you saw stationed belongs to lifeguard service). If you go further away from the port entrance lifeguards are more relaxed with dinghys approaching the beach. Love you guys and enjoyed very much the latest videos from the south of Portugal. Good luck with the crossing! Godspeed!
Recently became a patron after following you guys for a couple of years. Tomorrow I’m attending my first sailing race and will be giving sailing a go for the very first time!! I’m beyond excited and wanted to thank you for inspiring me.
Hello, my name is Fernand El Helou a first year freshman at Moravian college. I just wanted to tell you guys how much I love your videos. A couple of years back I lived in Lebanon and used to sail with family almost every week. It was a humbling and simply put, an amazing experience. Unfortunately I can’t do that anymore do to my studies, so you guys are kind of my gateway into that life that I once experienced and love. I miss sailing and just want to tell you guys to keep doing what you do and thank you on behalf of everyone watching. Ok I’m gonna stop talking now! Much love, -Fernand El Helou
This is such a weird but welcome crossover! I'm currently watching Below Deck season 5 which also his Bri on as crew! So nice to see her on La Vagabonde as well 🥰
How awesome, cool, cultured, well spoken well travelled grown up Lenny is gonna be? In 20 years you will be so so happy you stuck it out, you made it through it all, well done! My kids are grown, you will be so proud of him and yourselves. That’s a promise. Keep on keepin on.
can post a video that explains, every costs, of docking? every time you "stop/park" the boat you pay?!!! a litlle research and the prices are absurd??? same price and you stay in a hotel and travel by plane!...of course its not the same but...example im from portugal buy a solar cat, wanna go portugal spain italy and greece 3/4 days in each one, thats how much just to dock or mooring? average thanks
Sails..... been there, done that. So glad someone was kind enough to reach out to you with the critical info you needed. I can't count how many times my husband and I have been "rescued" by total strangers with big hearts who have helped us out while cruising the coast of the USA. Your videos are giving us the encouragement we need to venture out to the Bahamas someday soon. Best to you and your family.
I love the fact that you show those unplanned repairs that are such a big part of sailing. I like that you show yourselves getting sweaty and salty. Riley even has the bumps, bruises, cuts and scraps that many cruisers have. A lot of cruising couples look like they are in an abusive relationship with their boat. Riley looks pretty salty in this video. Good on him. Lenny always looks sooo cute. :-)
Thanks so much for another awesome video guys- you're really getting me through the HSC! 😂 Also Elayna I find it really inspiring that you keep sailing even when you get seasick so I hope the Azores are treating you all well xx
Having problems is everyday normal. Your persistent continuity and experience in meeting everyday challenges over time = your light hearted, good spirited, no matter what pops up fun to watch videos we have come to trust, enjoy and love. Good luck... cumulatively spikking mates. So easy to say... stuff like that. Not meaning to be flip or glib. Cheers.
SLV, you need to update your intro! its getting just a bit out of date😁😁Like Lenny is no longer a new born! and just a side note, i noticedd you had two bottles of Mount Gay Rum, which is made in my home country of Barbados😁
I must commend you on how well you document and film the very challenging parts of sailing! It really isn’t all fun and games is it? 😏 This particular episode, and a few others, are cautionary tales for those romanticizing the activity of sailing around the world, it’s not a vacation 24/7. It is hard, exhausting and very unpredictable at times! AND you do it with a toddler on board, just mind-blowing. You are all so wonderful for sharing your experiences with us. We get to sail with you and witness this very unique Life through your eyes! 🙏
Finally caught up on all the videos. I have spent the past year and a half watching the videos from the very beginning. It has been such an amazing adventure to watch and be apart of.
Nothing like a sea trial to get things sorted . Cool ya came back n got it all together . Best safe than sorry . Hope all goes well with " Bree " (unknown spelling) on board . Will give you both time togeter and lil Lenny is so happy no matter who looks after him . The trim on his fringe was deffo needed as was in his eyes at start of flick Great vlog guys and many fanx for taking time to do it :-D Fair winds
Cool to see Bri aboard, Shout Out from Boston!! (Fellow New Englander!!) Awesome episode guys. You never fail to put a smile on our faces! Fair winds and following seas La Vagabonde!!
Yep, that's a good book - Flatshare by Beth O'Leary should make anyone happy in these miserable times and her follow up book, The Switch, is even better - both great books
THANK YOU!!!! I was wracking my brain trying to figure out how I knew her. I was actually thinking I met her on my travels but it's from Below Deck. She's so cute.
There is a book (also on Audible) called The Potato Factory by Bryce Courtenay. Base on 19th Century Hobart Town Tasmania. It is a trilogy so if you like the first, you can try the other two.
Fun video. Good mood to this. I do like E's comment, "[Make it] a fun, entertaining version. Not just for the old salts." Thanks for that. I may be old, I may be salty, but I'm not an old salt.
@@SailingLaVagabonde Awwwww. You noticed! I almost died! Seriously. There's no video! Good to see you two are still rockin it! Who knew? 1.5 million subs. It's been a ride. Two thumbs up for the three of you. Cheers and salutes from Coober Pedy and the wilds of Canada. Keep safe!
she’s from Rhode Island!! so funny that’s where I’m from as well, grew up in Narragansett. It’s always nice to hear of someone else from RI. Safe travels! 💞
Love you guys. I dont have the extra $ to be a Patron, but i always watch all the ads and always like and comment. Hope all is well, coming from the US.
You are not alone in that. I'd also love to be a patron... not that prosperous... yet. SLV are fulfilling a dream of my youth.. so I'm doing it vicariously. 💖🙏
Good video, gives a realistic touch on sailing, thanks! Btw so bad it takes so much trash to provision for 5 days. We are looking to minimize waste recently and I was just thinking how could I do that on a boat. Tought call.
I can’t sleep if there’s an inch of daylight 😁 next minute, By the way we have been listening to Audible and they have even sleep programmes if you’re struggling with that 😂
Just became a patron less than a month ago! Been watching you guys for 3 years and so happy to support you two as you inspired me and my fiancé to save and buy a sailboat. Thank you ❤️
Anyway possible to talk about the seasons where you are and the temperatures as knowing that and what it is like other places and the time of year is interesting. Simple thing like it's August here and its 20 degrees.
elana sus's out the steering , the captain riley kicks into work mode and fixes the problem and georgeous bree friend of elayna kicks in to help mode , then success and the captain riley compliments the mighty crew on their valiant efforts ... i gotts say , i liked the way elayna found the steering problem , thats a woman , that knows her boat and is their looking out for everybody on board , good on ya elayna well done ...
As both your elder 😂, I must say I find Elayna’s conversation to a camera lens adorable .. I never call another guy adorable, however, Riley is really setting the bar high and shaming us underachieving loafs 👍. Is it normal to be using the Yaht next to yours as shortcut ? 🤭😂. Grannie may come out with a shotgun 😳 I could have used that move of Lenny’s with girls when I was younger, that shy look away thing he does, so cute ...
my suggestions: science fiction classics: childhood's end, ubik and solaris; fantasy: phillip pullman's dark materials trilogy, which now includes precludes and sequels; comedy: chivalry, good omens and entire artemis fowl series. tao of pooh; naked lunch; to kill a mockingbird; circe; the alchemist; the alice network. you can also listen to the five books of game of thrones series, which differs from the hob series.
Would highly recommend vectran steering strops if your budget can extend that far. Low creep, low wear and so much stronger than wire of the same diameter. Raced with ‘soft strops’ for many years and trust vectran highly.
I just noticed with today's aborted initial attempt to sail from Portugal to the Azores (Aug 24, 2020) that you've stopped numbering the episodes and #252 was the last one numbered. Were you starting to feel like old timers or something LOL ?
Lenny is really taken by his new friend . She seems really good with him as well. Hey Riley do you ever get tired of that watered down beer. Lol. Pacifico is a lot better. Have you tried it? Throw in some lime. Oh yeah 🏝
I recommend 2 audio books my Carer wrote, they're based on crime in the Highlands of Scotland. First is From The Shadows by G.R.Halliday. Second is called Dark Waters by G.R.Halliday
Lenny has officially entered the Steve Erwin look-alike phase
I'm Portuguese and was on vacation in Lagos around the time of filming.

The lifeguard was just jealous of Riley’s Mustache!!!
I went to the same beach with no problems..
Recently became a patron after following you guys for a couple of years. Tomorrow I’m attending my first sailing race and will be giving sailing a go for the very first time!! I’m beyond excited and wanted to thank you for inspiring me.
How was it?
Very. Very. Cool.
T L , I would like to know as well
Hey guys! It went so well and I’m hooked. Have a training day booked in for this Sunday and am attending another race the Sunday after!!
@@becmay Will you be taking videos ? If you can post em "Flash ~Girl takes on the sea too see if she likes it "

1:15 when little Lenny points and repeats “boat boat” He sounds like the seagulls from finding Nemo “mine mine mine”. Lol. Awesome video🖤🖤
Exactly! 😂😂

"If that is the worst of it, we'll be fine" - famous last words.

How good is technology! That he was able to post his problem and that someone could help him out so quick! That is awesome 🙌🏼

Literally one of the very few things that are keeping me sane this year are you, I am so happy that I found your channel!
Having problems is everyday normal. Your persistent continuity and experience in meeting everyday challenges over time = your light hearted, good spirited, no matter what pops up fun to watch videos we have come to trust, enjoy and love. Good luck... cumulatively spikking mates.

Lenny is just the cutest and happiest little one ever. You’re doing a great job raising that little human. ❤️❤️❤️
SLV, you need to update your intro! its getting just a bit out of date😁😁Like Lenny is no longer a new born!
and just a side note, i noticedd you had two bottles of Mount Gay Rum, which is made in my home country of Barbados😁
Mount Gay Rum is the best rum. It's awesome.
Plus, Barbados is lovely - I've been twice.
Never been to Barbados, but I do drink Mount Gay Rum...does that count? LOL
@@arekpetrosian4965 Close enough.
Hey, I recognize that lady Brianna from Below Deck! Great video, as always guys!
I must commend you on how well you document and film the very challenging parts of sailing! It really isn’t all fun and games is it? 😏 This particular episode, and a few others, are cautionary tales for those romanticizing the activity of sailing around the world, it’s not a vacation 24/7.

You are all so wonderful for sharing your experiences with us.

I have been watching Below Deck and Bri just kissed Nico. LOL!! Thank you again for all your beautiful video. Can’t get enough of Lenny. 🥰
Finally caught up on all the videos. I have spent the past year and a half watching the videos from the very beginning. It has been such an amazing adventure to watch and be apart of.
Made the correct decision, Riley. Better safe than sorry. The sea can be a hard mistress and sometimes no second chance. Blessings.
Can't wait to see the sailing to the Azores!
I am so glad to see a new video! I have gone through all of your past videos and I am now officially addicted!
What!!! Lenny wakes up and his hair is cut!!Magic!!!
So glad you guys have got some help to look after Lenny for your trip! Nice to see mum get a break and sail again!
lots of great Lenny smiles, what a lovely family and a super capable friend to help
Cheers! Lenny !
Nothing like a sea trial to get things sorted . Cool ya came back n got it all together . Best safe than sorry .

:-D
Fair winds
A podcast I love is “The High Low”, amazing women tackling interesting topics!❤️
Remember Bri from Below Deck!
I knew it was her!!
Yep...me too.
dang I had to Google it!! yep!
YEAH thats what i was thinking ! glad it wasnt just me !!!
I was going crazy trying to remember where I knew her from. Below Deck! Of course. I thought she was an ex-girlfriend I'd misplaced lol
Cool to see Bri aboard, Shout Out from Boston!! (Fellow New Englander!!) Awesome episode guys. You never fail to put a smile on our faces! Fair winds and following seas La Vagabonde!!
Riley well done for making even the weather sound entertaining.
Read the book “Where the Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens. Great read.
Yep, that's a good book - Flatshare by Beth O'Leary should make anyone happy in these miserable times and her follow up book, The Switch, is even better - both great books
I am reading it now
11:37 what an entertaining snippit there, Riley.
That's Bri from Bellow Deck!
Do you have a link? I've never heard of Below Deck...
Thunder Chicken it’s a Bravo TV reality show
@@Peanutdenver It's a Series about Yachting on Bravo Network. Bri was on a few seasons back.
THANK YOU!!!! I was wracking my brain trying to figure out how I knew her. I was actually thinking I met her on my travels but it's from Below Deck. She's so cute.
@@emmaaplin2066 Thanks
This is so strange I was watching below deck season 5 before this and now bri is here!! so crazy!!
Gabi Zmij it took me like 20 mins to recognise where I knew her from 😂
There is a book (also on Audible) called The Potato Factory by Bryce Courtenay.
Base on 19th Century Hobart Town Tasmania. It is a trilogy so if you like the first, you can try the other two.
Good to see both you again
I can see that even at an infantile age Lenny has a respect for the sea. Good job parental units.❤👏😅
Sea trail done .. sorted out problems..., and go again .
Well done.
Fun video. Good mood to this. I do like E's comment, "[Make it] a fun, entertaining version. Not just for the old salts." Thanks for that. I may be old, I may be salty, but I'm not an old salt.

I am glad you decided to rest before taking off again. Happy sailing
she’s from Rhode Island!! so funny that’s where I’m from as well, grew up in Narragansett. It’s always nice to hear of someone else from RI. Safe travels! 💞
Alyssa T Another Rhode Islander here from Craaanston! 😀🌟👏 Stay safe!! 🌊🛥❣️
I thought she was Australian.
no surprise that a bunch of rhodys are into the sailing vlogs, can’t wait to own my own boat and have westerly, ri on it
I’m from Somerset, Ma and was surprised to hear how (relatively) near she’s from too.
I know it's nice too hear Rhode island..I'm from Rhode island..so disappointed no boat show in Newport this year.
I highly recommend any Bryce Courtenay books, Four Fires, Jessica, the Power of One then PPTandia
Lenny was sooo cute, he looked at Bree like he was sooo in love with her 😍😂😂😂
Love you guys. I dont have the extra $ to be a Patron, but i always watch all the ads and always like and comment. Hope all is well, coming from the US.
You are not alone in that. I'd also love to be a patron... not that prosperous... yet.
SLV are fulfilling a dream of my youth.. so I'm doing it vicariously. 💖🙏
Safe crossing guys, take some time for yourselves & put your feet up & relax in the Azores 😊☀️
Totally another great vlog episode ‼️ Love the plant attitude of the new crew..
Thought I was watching Below Deck for a second...
Hey guy’s! Sending a big hello from the east coast of Canada, Labrador. Really enjoy watching. Take care, Be safe.
I'm from the south in the USA and it is BAD LUCK to have a banana on a boat!!!! Oh goodness be safe lol
Lenny got a hair cut! Elayna is such a champ, steering the boat with Lenny on het hip!👑👑👑💝💝💝💜💜
It's so funny, we all worry about Lenny all week like he is ours!
Omg I know..love seeing him
Time to put lenny s hair in a ponytail like Rilly 🙏😷😱🇺🇸😵🐨⛵
Lenny is like "ya thats right got me a hottie "for the crossing..good luck .to you guys on the adventure
When Lenny held up that screwdriver to help with sail adjustments. 🤣
Beautiful editing! You can tell they work hard on every video
“It’s always something”

Forgot some liquids on shore,
We'll be right back...
Good video, gives a realistic touch on sailing, thanks! Btw so bad it takes so much trash to provision for 5 days. We are looking to minimize waste recently and I was just thinking how could I do that on a boat. Tought call.
Waking up with the best videos🥰
💖🌈🎉⛵️ Cheers 🥂 to 236 episodes ⛵️🌈⛵️ And looking forward to many more ⛵️❤️💜💚💛💖🎉🌈🥂🥂🇦🇺 Go Aussies 🇦🇺
Lenny...the cutest sailing TH-camr ever!
I can’t sleep if there’s an inch of daylight 😁 next minute, By the way we have been listening to Audible and they have even sleep programmes if you’re struggling with that 😂
Those shots of Lenny looking out the window should be framed.
Just became a patron less than a month ago! Been watching you guys for 3 years and so happy to support you two as you inspired me and my fiancé to save and buy a sailboat.
Thank you ❤️
It's really time for a new intro sequence. Lenny is approaching 2 years old.
Great episode, y'all. Always ere on the side of safety.

What lovely ending to the video... :D
Elayna: „Kill Me.“
You cut Lennie’s hair !☹️ No more baby curls. Still looks good & less aggravation for him. Love watching your adventures but Lennie is why I come.😉
my suggestions: science fiction classics: childhood's end, ubik and solaris; fantasy: phillip pullman's dark materials trilogy, which now includes precludes and sequels; comedy: chivalry, good omens and entire artemis fowl series. tao of pooh; naked lunch; to kill a mockingbird; circe; the alchemist; the alice network. you can also listen to the five books of game of thrones series, which differs from the hob series.
I could never sail on a boat like that.nid be sick every day. Your friend is super good with lennie. Looking forward to the next vlog. Xx
I think Lenny has a girlfriend. How sweet.
Who? Lol
He could do a lot worse.............
What's so cute when he held his glass out for Cheers!
Love Bre! Seen her on below Deck! Love you guys too! Love watching you make memories! ❤️ from Niagara Falls Canada
Work glove with the kitchen knife, my kind of mechanic!!
I thinks that sheathing was to prevent wear on a sheave or quadrant thingy.
Would highly recommend vectran steering strops if your budget can extend that far. Low creep, low wear and so much stronger than wire of the same diameter. Raced with ‘soft strops’ for many years and trust vectran highly.
If you need some tips on where to go to get good advice on this reach out. Happy to help.
14:48 GreatTrump impression.
I really love every single episode :) Great work guys
I just noticed with today's aborted initial attempt to sail from Portugal to the Azores (Aug 24, 2020) that you've stopped numbering the episodes and #252 was the last one numbered. Were you starting to feel like old timers or something LOL ?
I cannot get over Lenny he is truly gorgeous, happy I know he is busy ... LOL ... loved the video!!! :D
Our toddler threw our car keys in the dock. Good catch !
Such a beautiful place, loved it there. Your little guy is such a cutie, l loved his cheers at the end.
Is Corona a new sponsor? Excellent accidental product placement if they aren’t 😆😂
Lenny is really taken by his new friend . She seems really good with him as well. Hey Riley do you ever get tired of that watered down beer. Lol. Pacifico is a lot better. Have you tried it? Throw in some lime. Oh yeah 🏝
'Wild' by Cheryl Strayed is a great audiobook! I'd totally recommend it :) x
Elayna- read Born to Run!! I promise you it will become you’re new favorite book.
Tess Bray I love that book! ❤️
Angela O'Brien it’s the best! It will make anyone love the “art” of running
Plus it's Tuesday back home legends, safe travels
I recommend 2 audio books my Carer wrote, they're based on crime in the Highlands of Scotland. First is From The Shadows by G.R.Halliday. Second is called Dark Waters by G.R.Halliday
It's that screw...holding everything together...
12:43 Lenny's a style icon with this haircut
So glad his lil bangs got trimmed👱♂️
You guys made the most adorable kid! Takes me back to when my 17yr old was that age. They actually looked alot alike! Lol
Can recommend the Red sparrow series on Audible
Lenny's cuteness is NEXT LEVEL.
Hi guys still can't believe how fast little man is growing up, good luck on this crossing and be safe love western Australia 🤙🤙🤙
Elayna, Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. Have you read that yet? The audiobook version is narrated by Ben Kingsley.
