Where I used to live in SRQ Sarasota, the 4th of July fireworks were at the marina, it was lovely. They were many boats that had a personalized sign hanging On their boats a "do not disturb". No one was offended by this. 🤔
Awesome video and congratulations on everything!!! Side note I feel people should never be looking into anybody's windows ever, that just not okay!!! Even if that person is "famous".
I absolutely agree with Elaina (sry sp) about people just popping up or approaching out of nowhere. Especially with the babies. I make it a point NOT to act like that with movie stars or influencers. I may recognize them but I don’t acknowledge them anymore than I would a stranger. A lot of influencers are having real problems because of this. I wish more influencers would speak openly about their experiences and how it negatively impacts them and their families 💞
This is SO far from dog-paddling through murky Adriatic water to shore because Riley’s bowline knot failed and the new tender went missing! Closing on 2-million subscribers, videographer, editor, published author, fashion designer, global sailors.(Edit: I forgot to mention two amazing parents to a couple of amazing boys!) What an amazing journey, all because Elayna picked up a neglected camera to show her Mom that everything was alright. Thank you so much for having us along for the ride from Turkish marketplaces, to the South Pacific, free diving blue holes, to dodging polar bears. Now, on to new adventures. (Edit: I think my favorite line was the two guys in Polynesia talking about their epic disastrous adventure with broken steering gear where one guy talks about what got him to go on the trip, “ Let’s go sailing, mate. It’ll be HEAPS of fun.”
You summed it all up "perfectly"! Yeah, I bet it's exhausting and a bit scary to be so popular now, (mostly because of their kid's). *After people become "Famous" and the wealth that follows, being "stalked/hunted down/watched" it's all fair game now. It's like they say, "Ya can't have the sweet without the sour". They're just gonna have to suck it up....until they've decided they've had "enough"!!!!*
@@ronaldleach9899 haha, I was about to write something similar to Charles, but couldn’t have said it better myself, so was content to support his statement with a ‘Well Said’, so now, just liking yours. At least it saved me a bunch of typing…wait..
My favorite quote, " Change is not the end of the road, only the bend in the road." I believe change is good and keeps one lively and lovely. I'm 72 and ready everyday for a new adventure.
Wow, Ive been a follower for well over 6 years. This one really knocked my socks off. As Ive said in past episodes, I live in Annapolis for over 30 years of my 70 years. To see this video of you guys being there again, at this particular event, just really made me feel emotional. I could write a novel, but I know thats not needed here in my post. Im sure you guys never imagined it would come this this level of notoriety, but it has, and you guys are handling it very well. With respect to you and your kids and your very busy lifestyle, I will simply close this by saying keep following the same path that you guys are doing. You are doing fantastic. Remember to keep things into perspective. YOU GUYS AND YOUR KIDS COME FIRST AND FOREMOST. Never risk public and fan following, over that simple suggestion. My very best wishes to you guys and your family, and the prospect of an exciting, educational, future as La Vagabonde evolves.
this is the best written post i have read so far.. this guys.. this... i cant imagine what they are going through with everything. but just keep it in perspective.. family comes first...
Yes, totally agree. But they do rely on their videos and public image to enable them to continue their journey. Luckily they handle it well, well hey, they are Aussies!!! :)
Well said! Also a follower from right from the begining. You did it Elyna a Riley, and my hope is don't change ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⛵⛵⛵⛵🌅🌅🌅🌅🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰From our floating home ⛵ svNefi,,🙏
After hearing a lot of people saying they’ve been watching for two years, I just realised after looking back I’ve been watching since I was 16 and I’m now 21! Crazy to think It’s been so long, but time flies when you’re having fun eh? Thank you for sharing to us all a glimpse into your lives. Bitter sweet episode, but onto the next adventure. Thank you for letting us be apart of it! ❤️
It was so nice meeting the both of you at the boat show. I can't believe that I made it onto your video, even if it was for a fraction of a second. Lol I have been watching your videos from the beginning. You have inspired so many people to take the leap and to buy a boat. I have had mine for a little over a year now and hope to start cruising this year. Thank you so much for all of your hard work.
This just made me cry. Seeing Lenny cry and saying goodbye to Rachel just seems so heartbreaking. I know new journey's are ahead but WOW, this episode really touched my heart.
The older generation and the younger generation looking up to you both (and the kids) is such an inspiration! Me and my kidd have followed you guys for years. I could not be prouder! Well done
I remember the first video when it went up - OZ dude wearing flannel in the med, landed a Beneteau, and his favorite author is David Foster Wallace. "This should be good...", I thought, and the past 7+ years have been extraordinary. Such legends they've become, deserving every ounce of success and happiness that comes their way.
Ive been a sub since the monohull days. Because of you guys I’ve always wanted my own boat to sail around the world on. I grew up sailing lakes in Minnesota with friends and family. I just turned 27 and after years of saving while watching you guys I just got my first catamaran! Thanks for the entertainment and inspiration!
Moving Children’s 1st home is listed as one of the most traumatic event a child goes through. According to Maslow and Reiki/Chakras, we have Mis-aligned the energy associated with our ‘base/home/nest’…with lotsa love and reassurance, Lenny will thrive! 🤍I love what you are doing and sharing🤍
Look how much you achieved by supporting and encouraging each other. It is a pleasure to watch how warm and welcoming you are to people who are crossing your journey. Videos are natural, well crafted. Waiting for each new episode.
I cannot stress how much I love your content! Every episode is like a movie in itself. Your beautiful family can always bring me out of my depression. Thank you so much.
I’m so proud of you guys! I was hooked with the first video I watched. 3 yrs ago. My face feels like Riley’s from cheesing thru the entire video. My eyes watered like Elayna’s seeing so many heartfelt moments for you guys. You make a difference and y’all are genuine decent humans. Yes! Super happy for you! ⛵️ ☀️ ❤
Thank you Sailing La Vagabond for sharing your sailing adventures and family with us for all these years. (And hopefully many many more to come). You two are a huge inspiration on going out and fulfilling your dreams. 💕 Btw, I love Lenny's Na-Na Na-Na dance. 🤗 So cute! They both are.
So proud of you to get rid of drinking. Being a captain with children on board DON’T mix. Prayers and love for loving and honoring your precious family. SAFTY FIRST!!
Yes, I also picked up on Riley’s comment about not drinking much any more. Alcohol is a registered poison, drinking dilute poison in fancy bottles is a long term disaster for a healthy & long life. There is no safe level of alcohol consumption, contrary to what the alcohol industry would have us believe.
This whole episode made me really teary! I'm terrible at remembering what year, what happened but when I started watching you guys there were just the two of you and you were still in Europe on the first boat. So, so happy for you both. You've achieved SO MUCH, you're a massive inspiration. Thanks guys ❤️
It blows my mind to think back to when I first started watching your videos. I binged but what that meant was I went back and watched the first four prior videos. I have been with you guys since the beginning(episode 5). I have loved the crude, raw, unpolished early Vagabond 1 days as much as the journey all the way to this professional, polished production. I feel like I know you guys so well yet you know me not. Thanks for taking us along. Happy Sailing! ⛵⛵⛵
Y'all are popular because you are good-hearted, and sincere and produce an excellent, entertaining product. I'm so happy for y'all. Keep it up, because we all love ya!.💖 This is one of the best episodes I've watched.
Gosh I started crying when I realised Ray was leaving. While it's such a great experience to have crew especially to help with the boys, I am sure you are all heart broken when it's time for them to leave. You are genuinely giving the boys such life experiences by having different people come on board and they get to learn different things from them and the crew obviously get fantastic life experience as well. Great episode.
As an Australian I don't tend to Swoon over people who have done well in life and I think most Australians have the same view. It's good to see the Aussies on the top tier in the TH-cam sailing world.great to see both enjoying your hard work and success 👍.
Its crazy to think that five years later I am still so excited to see your videos pop up they have brought me so much joy and are also a huge inspiration for me! ♡
So crazy to see how much your world and reach has grown! And what you are both doing to use your success to help and encourage is amazing 😍 have been watching for nearly 5 years now and even featured at the end of episode 239 at Annapolis but still looking forward to when I can meet you all. Hoping you will do a patreon catch up in Bali or Australia one day soon 😘
After watching your channel for 8yrs, randomly meeting you in person back in Brisbane in 2017 (yes... even then you were somewhat famous 😉🙃), and now evolved into the biggest and most popular YT sailing channel, I still love how you guys have remained so humble, honest, and down to earth in that fantastic Aussie way. I really hope our lives cross randomly again one day so we can chat about all things sailing, etc just like mates do, as this is how I feel it would be like today.
I have followed the channel for around 5 years, and of course binged watched the previous adventures to find out more about it. How they met, how Elayna picked up an old camera and took a chance following someone she hardly knew into the unknown is legend. As they went through good times and bad, you could see stories unfold, the editing got better, they persevered and made a family. I hope they continue to make content for us who can not make the journeys into the world but watch in wonder and awe at what is out there.
I am actually quite blown away with this video. The cinematography/production is top shelf stuff. Just leaps and bounds ahead. Mostly though, is how much you both have influenced those who have been following you. I didn't know that until watching this video. So Nice.
Thanks for sharing. been watching since before lenny was a twinkle in your eyes. The tough times back then, your honesty and your determination to keep the channel going have paid off. Dont ever stop. Us shore dwellers need this. love love x
It must be hard being the baby sitter falling in love with the kids and having to just walk away to do it all over again, she’s was such a great person. Will be missed for sure
Love you both - been watching for a while now and you deserve all the positivity you get. International travel was a huge part of my life for 15 years until the pandemic. As a child, my parents were nomadic as well, so I've been plenty of places. Now...things thend to happen more in virtual space. Between your channel and Kara and Nate's, I find myself laughing - and at the same time in tears, because I would spend everyday somewhere else if I could (being on the move and in unique places is something I miss, but am realizing I need). I'm insecure to let go of the financial freedom my job gives me, but really need to. Thank you for the inspiration you give! If you ever need anything in New England, you always have a friend in Providence, RI (see, not all of us are assholes...lol).
Heart-warming ... and draining! Annapolis is a strong part of my history having lived in Maryland for decades, Sailing La Vagabonde is more then just a TH-cam series. I know this with all the emotions I feel from week to week. Good luck guys!
This platform of video creators has changed entertainment as we knew it. Who ever thought that you could message the cast of characters and every now and then a reply. Insight into personal lives etc. Reality TV but the cream rises to the top. Channels like this deserve their popularity.
So many emotions this video has surface within me! Alas, most of them surround my late wife (died in 2020 from cancer) as she was the most experienced sailor and would have loved doing what you do. Alaina looks ravishing dressed formally, and Riley nailed it well: trading years of casual dress for one night of knock-em-dead! Cheers from Oregon!
Well guys, I for one, love you. The episode where Riley went out and looked for refugees in distress at sea, yep, I read the comments on that one. Some "people" were pretty derogatory in their commentary toward you. From that point forward I knew without a doubt you are truly good people and by Gawd... you're real, stay that way. Peace love and light from the north coast of California!!!
Riley looks like 007⚡ in his threads on the thumbnail. 😂 It looks like you both had a wonderful time on this trip! 👍 So happy for you all! 💞 Thanks for taking us along and much ❤️ from Michigan USA 🌊
Riley in a tux, be still my ol' lady heart. Elayna would look stunning in a burlap sack but she really rocked that gorgeous dress. So many changes coming for you. Thanks for always taking us on your adventures. You are loved.
Riley and Elena thanks so much for this special episode.! Like you said so much excitement and appreciation but draining t o o. So special to see so much laughter smiles and entertainment. Can't wait to see you and your new Cruiser. Thanks for inviting us along and your kids are a riot. Catch you later bye
People like watching your videos because you allow us to experience adventures that most of us won't ever do,which is why so many people want to meet you guys.You make people happy and that's always a good thing.
Watching this video with a big grin on my face as I’ve been following you from the beginning. Can recall Riley fretting an anxious over joining Patreon . So happy for your well earned success. Big congratulations on both your growing business venture as well as your family. Who knew 😮
I LOVED seeing you both shine at the meet and greet. I hope you realize how much of an impact and utter joy your entire family and guests bring to people's lives. I will continue to follow and support your everything. Much love, Michelle.
Another ripper guys (albeit a little tearful!) 💪🏼It's so interesting to see the insight of how life can be on the other side of the camera. Thanks for the beautiful videos and the memories shared with all of us. Now, onwards to Asia! 😬 Fair winds ⛵️
I have been watching you five years now, my son has been watching since you started out, he is 27, I did watch some beginning videos that my son wanted me to see, I need to watch the first 2 years, this video really brought out my tears, aww Lenny. So excited to see you in Vietnam, especially my son, he is waiting impatiently, since he loves the Asian countries.
A window into your lives. Happiness, emotions, anxieties, the video has it all. Mostly the love that is involved between people shines out giving such a wonderful feeling. Live your best lives. 🍺
Wow. What a life you've made. Great people dropping by! What a wonderful community! I was thinking way back, six or seven years ago, some fellow made a sexist comment on Patreon on Elayna's looks, and I slapped him with a comment of my own (Elayna sent a nice comment to me as a result) and then all this time later on this video upload I'm looking at her trying on dresses and for the first time I understand what that poor fellow may have been talking about. Wow. You both look great in a gown and tux. I have to add how wonderful that sailing community is, what great people they all seem to be. Not just at this boat show, which made me think of this, but throughout all this time what extraordinary good people they all have been in all seas and in all circumstances. It's an extraordinary blessing, that. Cheers and thanks for posting. Loved this one. It had everything. Also- sorry you lost a great nanny, she seems a gem.
Only come across the channel a week ago. Watched the Greta series. Now watching back some more. Really love the energy you both give off. I'm a single dad of two. One boy one girl. You're channel has kept me going these last few days. Keep the videos coming. Peace ✌
You both are such a huge inspiration. I used to do diet fads, but thanks to you all I'm just trying to eat healthier and be more active. You both are an inspiration to me, along with all the TH-camrs your friends with. Thank you so much, I do feel healthier and I have more energy. I appreciate you both and your family.
Being famous, aka people recognizing you in person from watching your videos isn’t so bad if you use your platform for good, which you do! ❤ Thank you for sharing this part of your experiences.
Been following for 6 years, you guys are super stars ! You handled everything great!!! And you both shine up like brand new pennies ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯. Much love to you , and thank you for the many therapeutic moments at sea for me.
13:08 I bet when you guys first started sailing it never even crossed your minds that this is where you would be today. You guys deserve every single wonderful thing that comes your way. You both looked amazing! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you guys and your new home!!
I’m sorry that you have to deal with the weirdos that come with being famous. That is for sure the number one reason why I don’t want to be on TH-cam, as much as have information I would like to share with people. So I’m proud of you guys for helping out so many and being an icon, even with all the BS it comes with. We all love you guys. And I would like to say most of all of us have your back and want to keep y’all safe❤
I had the chills watching the meet and greet. So many special and amazing people. Love you guys and the community you’ve created and shared your family and lives with. ❤❤❤❤
Wow this episode was a total tear jerker! I've been following your journey since pretty much the beginning an so incredibly proud of how far you guys have come. You earned every ounce of recognition and may you stay blessed♥️
The game and all that jazz is well deserved. The four of you as human beings, and together as a family are an amazing example to the other 8.however many billion of us there are at how to live, love and sail. Truly deserving, keep up the example and all the hard work. Can't wait for the next one.
I loved this episode. Wish we could have been there. I had a realization when I saw you two all dressed up like celebrities: For a TV show, there's a whole behind-the-scenes support crew providing production, post-production, set design, wardrobe, script, lights, camera, sound, promotion, sales personnel getting advertisers, etc. All the actors have to do is show up and recite lines. You have done it all from scratch. Mega-respect and admiration for tremendous accomplishment. You are celebrities who actually deserve it, like it or not 🙂. Looking forward to what is coming.
Its really amazing how far you guys have come. I remember falling upon your channel when you had less than 10k subs. I was just looking for sailing vids. Still dont have my boat. But I have had your boat and you guys to live vicariously through. Never stop.
I came across a video of a young couple setting out on a sailing adventure. It happened to be your second post. I have been a sailor ever since. Thank you for sharing your wonderful lives. Oh, best line ever, "he had a mustache!" Or something to that effect!! Be safe!
Great video guys. I've been with you from the very first days, even before you bought your first sailboat and the romance got serious. It's amazing how much water has flowed under your keel in all that time. Major challenges, physical trials, baby on board, wild weather in the North Atlantic, beautiful locations, so much adventure, personal challenges, lots of laughter and tears, courageous and frightful moments, unfolding dreams, incredible partnerships like the one with Outremere and planning for your new boat and new adventures. Quite a ride. So much more to come.
I love watching you both grow as people. You were " kids" 😉 when you started the channel and look at you both now! Incredible skills acquired along the way plus two awesome bambinos ! You INSPIRE and educate people all over the world, Every video. Curious and excited for your next chapter! I wish you JoY.
I started watching over 6 yrs ago, have seen every episode. The joy & adventure you bring to so many people is incredible. I’m from British Columbia, Canada, on the Pacific Coast where we have some of the most beautiful islands & inlets. You have such a range of followers. My son has a small boat that sleeps 4 & I love going on adventures when invited. Every Monday, you would laugh, as I talk to myself saying “I can’t wait to see my kids & see what they’re up to”. I’m an elderly lady, on my own & I get so much joy from following when you first met to having a family. Can’t wait for to see the new catamaran. Take care of yourselves. PS I love how Riley said Elayna looked so beautiful. ❤
Finding your channel two years ago I think has changed me. I saw your joy for life, the love you have for each other and sailing and I thought why can’t I be like that, it took months of watching you to realise I could I just needed to change my attitude. I know fans can be scary and stalkerish sometimes but for some of us you, just by being you, have turned our lives around.
I am so happy for your success! To bring more love to the world, not just to your family, but extended, is a rare accomplishment. After 46 years of photographing actors, as part of the Hollywood star-making machinery, I have seen how hundreds of famous people handle themselves. Without a doubt, you are doing an amazing job. Practical considerations aside, it is all about ego management. You both keep each other well-grounded. I know that movie-making is a real job unto itself, but you both carry it off with grace and consistent pro-level skill, while keeping us all entertained in front of the camera too! What a feat. The children grow more beautiful every day. I pray you stay safe and happy as the journey continues. Please do not fret about keeping your location guarded. The crazy famous have bodyguards the size of NFL linemen with them whenever they go. Fortunately, your fan following is sweet and lovable, but that does not mean you don’t have to take precautions. Never think twice about it, it is your duty 🤩😍
I like this comment because of the ego management remark. We watch countless actors go off the depth end believing their own BS. Unfortunately, as you have come to know, fame carries undesirable baggae. People act like they know you and are privy to your space and time. Regrettable but it comes with the teritory. I am sure 95% of your following understands and respect your space and what you have graciously given us. Thank you, a thousand times, Thank You
This was incredible to see! I think you deal with all the attention really well. Often people assume that because you’re able to talk to a camera that you can naturally talk to large groups of people but it’s completely different. Especially when you get recognised and people come up to you unexpectedly. You both looked incredible at the awards too! 🔥
I'm grateful for the sailing community. It's the community created by the love , kindness an realness you show about this style of life.. I am upset I didn't make it to Annapolis this year. I'm 22 miles from the docks! You both have earned your blessings! With this said .. Elaina, you have every right to be uncomfortable with someone approaching your home just cuz they're curious! No not cool you have kids no matter what you show on YT. Still no one should come unannounced to anyone's home no matter how approachable they seem ..!! I'm excited for the wisdom an laughter and what the future holds for your family! It will be beautiful ✌🏼💗😊⛵
For so long now, many years been watching you two and for some reason I feel so proud for all that you have accomplished and have created a lifestyle that you want, that you live, that you honor everyday., I'm surprised at how proud I am of you both and have never actually conversed or met you!! But, it's authentic and true. Truly an inspiration.
🥂 Congratulations on all your success 🍾 Without followers, no fame! Without fame, no financial gain! That is life in the lime light.. whether TV, film or you tube!. Enjoy the ride and when you don't anymore, then its time to get out and find another way to make a living!... your family comes first🙂. Of course all of us you tube subscribers, that have followed and supported your adventures for many years, hope we still have many years of following your new adventures... roll on La Vagabond 2!
I have been a sub for quite a long time...I watched this video with tears in my eyes..but when Lenny cried it broke my heart. You both have come so far, accomplished so much and will continue to do so. I must say You are a beautiful family ❤️ God bless and may he keep you and your beautiful boy's safe always. ❤️ 🙏
Just ordered a copy of Elay's book. SO excited. I read over 100 books on a good year, but children's books are really near and dear to my heart. Can't wait for it to show up. My almost 3 year old Corbin will love this new addition. This book will be treasured since I've watched your vlog for years. Raising boys together! ❤
Beautiful episode! It was great to board La Vagabonde at the show,, meet the new captain and I've known Alex for years when he worked at a sailing club in Annapolis. He is a terrific guy ... it blew my mind when I first saw him working with you. But then not a surprise at all because he is an accomplished and skilled yachtsman who is supremely agreeable. I greatly enjoyed all your background filming during the show and talking about your emotions throughout the experience. Carry on!!
Thanks for taking us along on the journey! And its important to share the lows as well as the highs - something you've always done. Hopefully that small percentage of people will remember you are a family first and foremost and respect your privacy.
I've been watching you guys for probably around 2 yrs or so, give or take, and the way I look at this video is pride. One simple word. Pride. I know Riley may struggle with the "fame" word but you know what it all boils down to is the fact that you and Elayna have touched soooooo many people with your adventures and the sweet, genuine, awesome people you are. The whole weekend looked like one surreal ride for you guys but ultimately people love what you do, love who you are and we are so thankful, it goes beyond words, for the journey you have shared with us. I'm so proud of you for achieving such greatness. Thank you!!! All my love from England ❤️
I truly enjoy watching you guys and those you invite along - farewell to Ray. Your boys are blessed by the wonderful people you bring onboard. It has to be so enriching for their lives. And may I add, you always spruce up well for a land-based party….and conduct yourselves with genuine sincerity and what we refer to here in New Zealand …aroha …love and affection …for everyone you meet. ❤️🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
I live in Maryland and just missed out from seeing you guys (had our first baby, a boy!); but i wanted to say how amazing your family is. The way you enjoy every moment, and approach the journey is an inspiration. I hope one day to say hi in person, but for now Ill settle for a simple 👋🏻🌊⚓️⛵️
I think what you're doing is amazing..sharing your adventures with everyone. Your kids are living such an awesome life. And the best part, you have remained humble thru it all..great video..🙂
Great episode, so much going on. The highs and the lows your family and yourselves are experiencing, from the celebrity status you and your channel have achieved with all the opportunity it brings, to the sadness of Lenny's realization of the loss of the only home he has known and the departure of another awesome nanny in Rae, such a rollercoaster of emotion. I've been a part of your journey since Stevo Kinevo flew out to visit you and I've truly enjoyed every minute you guys have shared. Really looking forward to the adventures ahead on the new trimaran!
As always, another top-notch production. I have enjoyed immensely, your videos since the monohull days and there has always been something of interest. I'm not sure why your videos are so addictive, apart from the fact that I love sailing so much and yet done so little of it. I think it's because you two+ are so natural and you show almost everything about your lives, warts and all. You have a formula that just works, and it works well. More strength to you.
I read a comment a few episodes back, saying it's so unfair for the children not to have a home and stable life. I wanted to respond so bad but I was to angry and thought I just will let it go. Today I will respond now that I have calmed down. I'm a old grandmother. That could only wish my kids and grandkids could have had the experience these boys are having. These beautiful little boys have seen and learned more in their few year than most adults have. They have all the love and stability that is needed. Infact alot more than some parents do that live in a home. Lenny is so smart and no doubt his baby brother will be the same. Besides who wants their kids attending public school here in America anymore? It's dangerous with all the shootings and bullets. These boys are getting the best education from their parents who are doing a amazing job. Ok my rant is over. I'm very lost though when Lenny got his hair cut. It's so adorable. I watch every episode. Where did I miss it? You two looked amazing. I'm so proud of all you have accomplished. Sending lots of love from Utah.

Where I used to live in SRQ Sarasota, the 4th of July fireworks were at the marina, it was lovely. They were many boats that had a personalized sign hanging On their boats a "do not disturb". No one was offended by this.
🤔
Awesome video and congratulations on everything!!! Side note I feel people should never be looking into anybody's windows ever, that just not okay!!! Even if that person is "famous".
I absolutely agree with Elaina (sry sp) about people just popping up or approaching out of nowhere. Especially with the babies. I make it a point NOT to act like that with movie stars or influencers. I may recognize them but I don’t acknowledge them anymore than I would a stranger. A lot of influencers are having real problems because of this. I wish more influencers would speak openly about their experiences and how it negatively impacts them and their families 💞
can u guys do more shirts w the sailor shirt back?
I looked everywhere and couldn't find out who won the actual awards at the International Cruisers Awards. Who won them?
This is SO far from dog-paddling through murky Adriatic water to shore because Riley’s bowline knot failed and the new tender went missing! Closing on 2-million subscribers, videographer, editor, published author, fashion designer, global sailors.(Edit: I forgot to mention two amazing parents to a couple of amazing boys!) What an amazing journey, all because Elayna picked up a neglected camera to show her Mom that everything was alright. Thank you so much for having us along for the ride from Turkish marketplaces, to the South Pacific, free diving blue holes, to dodging polar bears. Now, on to new adventures. (Edit: I think my favorite line was the two guys in Polynesia talking about their epic disastrous adventure with broken steering gear where one guy talks about what got him to go on the trip, “ Let’s go sailing, mate. It’ll be HEAPS of fun.”
🥲🥲 wow. Thanks Charles.
Well said 👏 👏 👏
see A
You summed it all up "perfectly"! Yeah, I bet it's exhausting and a bit scary to be so popular now, (mostly because of their kid's). *After people become "Famous" and the wealth that follows, being "stalked/hunted down/watched" it's all fair game now. It's like they say, "Ya can't have the sweet without the sour". They're just gonna have to suck it up....until they've decided they've had "enough"!!!!*
@@ronaldleach9899 haha, I was about to write something similar to Charles, but couldn’t have said it better myself, so was content to support his statement with a ‘Well Said’, so now, just liking yours. At least it saved me a bunch of typing…wait..
I always feel a bit sad for you when you say goodbye to your nannies. 😢 They seem to become such a big part of your family. 💛
They really do become a part of the fam. I can honestly say I’ve loved every single person so far ❤️
My favorite quote, " Change is not the end of the road, only the bend in the road." I believe change is good and keeps one lively and lovely. I'm 72 and ready everyday for a new adventure.
Wow, Ive been a follower for well over 6 years. This one really knocked my socks off. As Ive said in past episodes, I live in Annapolis for over 30 years of my 70 years. To see this video of you guys being there again, at this particular event, just really made me feel emotional. I could write a novel, but I know thats not needed here in my post. Im sure you guys never imagined it would come this this level of notoriety, but it has, and you guys are handling it very well. With respect to you and your kids and your very busy lifestyle, I will simply close this by saying keep following the same path that you guys are doing. You are doing fantastic. Remember to keep things into perspective. YOU GUYS AND YOUR KIDS COME FIRST AND FOREMOST. Never risk public and fan following, over that simple suggestion. My very best wishes to you guys and your family, and the prospect of an exciting, educational, future as La Vagabonde evolves.
this is the best written post i have read so far.. this guys.. this... i cant imagine what they are going through with everything. but just keep it in perspective.. family comes first...
Yes, totally agree. But they do rely on their videos and public image to enable them to continue their journey. Luckily they handle it well, well hey, they are Aussies!!! :)
Khaz, thank you so much for your words here 🫶 our family definitely comes first!!
@@Kim-up5zw Aussie Aussie Aussie! Love it !
Well said! Also a follower from right from the begining. You did it Elyna a Riley, and my hope is don't change !
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼⛵⛵⛵⛵🌅🌅🌅🌅🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰From our floating home ⛵ svNefi,,🙏
After hearing a lot of people saying they’ve been watching for two years, I just realised after looking back I’ve been watching since I was 16 and I’m now 21! Crazy to think It’s been so long, but time flies when you’re having fun eh? Thank you for sharing to us all a glimpse into your lives. Bitter sweet episode, but onto the next adventure. Thank you for letting us be apart of it! ❤️
I hope you never give up this channel. It’s been amazing for me to watch your family’s journey. Thank you.
NEVER ✌️ we’ll always be here!
It was so nice meeting the both of you at the boat show. I can't believe that I made it onto your video, even if it was for a fraction of a second. Lol I have been watching your videos from the beginning. You have inspired so many people to take the leap and to buy a boat. I have had mine for a little over a year now and hope to start cruising this year. Thank you so much for all of your hard work.
This just made me cry. Seeing Lenny cry and saying goodbye to Rachel just seems so heartbreaking. I know new journey's are ahead but WOW, this episode really touched my heart.
The older generation and the younger generation looking up to you both (and the kids) is such an inspiration! Me and my kidd have followed you guys for years. I could not be prouder! Well done
I remember the first video when it went up - OZ dude wearing flannel in the med, landed a Beneteau, and his favorite author is David Foster Wallace. "This should be good...", I thought, and the past 7+ years have been extraordinary. Such legends they've become, deserving every ounce of success and happiness that comes their way.
Ditto. Was thinking the same thing.

Ive been a sub since the monohull days. Because of you guys I’ve always wanted my own boat to sail around the world on. I grew up sailing lakes in Minnesota with friends and family. I just turned 27 and after years of saving while watching you guys I just got my first catamaran! Thanks for the entertainment and inspiration!
Moving Children’s 1st home is listed as one of the most traumatic event a child goes through. According to Maslow and Reiki/Chakras, we have Mis-aligned the energy associated with our ‘base/home/nest’…with lotsa love and reassurance, Lenny will thrive! 🤍I love what you are doing and sharing🤍
Look how much you achieved by supporting and encouraging each other. It is a pleasure to watch how warm and welcoming you are to people who are crossing your journey. Videos are natural, well crafted. Waiting for each new episode.
Yea, what Stan said. I couldn't figure out how to say it!
I cannot stress how much I love your content! Every episode is like a movie in itself. Your beautiful family can always bring me out of my depression. Thank you so much.
I’m so proud of you guys! I was hooked with the first video I watched. 3 yrs ago. My face feels like Riley’s from cheesing thru the entire video. My eyes watered like Elayna’s seeing so many heartfelt moments for you guys. You make a difference and y’all are genuine decent humans. Yes! Super happy for you! ⛵️ ☀️ ❤
Thank you Sailing La Vagabond for sharing your sailing adventures and family with us for all these years. (And hopefully many many more to come). You two are a huge inspiration on going out and fulfilling your dreams. 💕 Btw, I love Lenny's Na-Na Na-Na dance. 🤗 So cute! They both are.
So proud of you to get rid of drinking. Being a captain with children on board DON’T mix. Prayers and love for loving and honoring your precious family. SAFTY FIRST!!
Yes, I also picked up on Riley’s comment about not drinking much any more. Alcohol is a registered poison, drinking dilute poison in fancy bottles is a long term disaster for a healthy & long life. There is no safe level of alcohol consumption, contrary to what the alcohol industry would have us believe.
This whole episode made me really teary! I'm terrible at remembering what year, what happened but when I started watching you guys there were just the two of you and you were still in Europe on the first boat. So, so happy for you both. You've achieved SO MUCH, you're a massive inspiration. Thanks guys ❤️
@telegremmeSailingLaVagabonde.
@SmooseySmellings scam alert!!
It blows my mind to think back to when I first started watching your videos. I binged but what that meant was I went back and watched the first four prior videos. I have been with you guys since the beginning(episode 5). I have loved the crude, raw, unpolished early Vagabond 1 days as much as the journey all the way to this professional, polished production. I feel like I know you guys so well yet you know me not. Thanks for taking us along. Happy Sailing! ⛵⛵⛵
this put tears to my eyes! i love how far y’all have came it’s truly so sweet and genuine!
Y'all are popular because you are good-hearted, and sincere and produce an excellent, entertaining product. I'm so happy for y'all. Keep it up, because we all love ya!.💖 This is one of the best episodes I've watched.
Gosh I started crying when I realised Ray was leaving. While it's such a great experience to have crew especially to help with the boys, I am sure you are all heart broken when it's time for them to leave. You are genuinely giving the boys such life experiences by having different people come on board and they get to learn different things from them and the crew obviously get fantastic life experience as well. Great episode.
So many good crew members, miss them all.
As an Australian I don't tend to Swoon over people who have done well in life and I think most Australians have the same view. It's good to see the Aussies on the top tier in the TH-cam sailing world.great to see both enjoying your hard work and success 👍.
Its crazy to think that five years later I am still so excited to see your videos pop up they have brought me so much joy and are also a huge inspiration for me! ♡
Riley's face with the parrot was the best. Congrats on your success folks! So happy for you!
Community. That's what you've built through all of this. Nicely done, you've touched a lot of lives.
So crazy to see how much your world and reach has grown! And what you are both doing to use your success to help and encourage is amazing 😍 have been watching for nearly 5 years now and even featured at the end of episode 239 at Annapolis but still looking forward to when I can meet you all. Hoping you will do a patreon catch up in Bali or Australia one day soon 😘
After watching your channel for 8yrs, randomly meeting you in person back in Brisbane in 2017 (yes... even then you were somewhat famous 😉🙃), and now evolved into the biggest and most popular YT sailing channel, I still love how you guys have remained so humble, honest, and down to earth in that fantastic Aussie way. I really hope our lives cross randomly again one day so we can chat about all things sailing, etc just like mates do, as this is how I feel it would be like today.
it is sad to see this chapter ending, but also excited to see what is next.
I have followed the channel for around 5 years, and of course binged watched the previous adventures to find out more about it. How they met, how Elayna picked up an old camera and took a chance following someone she hardly knew into the unknown is legend. As they went through good times and bad, you could see stories unfold, the editing got better, they persevered and made a family. I hope they continue to make content for us who can not make the journeys into the world but watch in wonder and awe at what is out there.
I am actually quite blown away with this video. The cinematography/production is top shelf stuff. Just leaps and bounds ahead. Mostly though, is how much you both have influenced those who have been following you. I didn't know that until watching this video. So Nice.
Thanks for sharing. been watching since before lenny was a twinkle in your eyes.
The tough times back then, your honesty and your determination to keep the channel going have paid off.
Dont ever stop. Us shore dwellers need this. love love x
It must be hard being the baby sitter falling in love with the kids and having to just walk away to do it all over again, she’s was such a great person. Will be missed for sure
This is what I think each time the babysitter leaves 😢
Love you both - been watching for a while now and you deserve all the positivity you get. International travel was a huge part of my life for 15 years until the pandemic. As a child, my parents were nomadic as well, so I've been plenty of places. Now...things thend to happen more in virtual space. Between your channel and Kara and Nate's, I find myself laughing - and at the same time in tears, because I would spend everyday somewhere else if I could (being on the move and in unique places is something I miss, but am realizing I need). I'm insecure to let go of the financial freedom my job gives me, but really need to. Thank you for the inspiration you give! If you ever need anything in New England, you always have a friend in Providence, RI (see, not all of us are assholes...lol).
The genuine connections with friends and fans are solid gold . Thanks for sharing it all so honestly the way you always do ❤️
Heart-warming ... and draining! Annapolis is a strong part of my history having lived in Maryland for decades, Sailing La Vagabonde is more then just a TH-cam series. I know this with all the emotions I feel from week to week. Good luck guys!
This platform of video creators has changed entertainment as we knew it. Who ever thought that you could message the cast of characters and every now and then a reply. Insight into personal lives etc. Reality TV but the cream rises to the top. Channels like this deserve their popularity.
So many emotions this video has surface within me! Alas, most of them surround my late wife (died in 2020 from cancer) as she was the most experienced sailor and would have loved doing what you do. Alaina looks ravishing dressed formally, and Riley nailed it well: trading years of casual dress for one night of knock-em-dead! Cheers from Oregon!
my deepest condolences
@@lizcatherine9795 Thank you! She had a most wonderful life!
Well guys, I for one, love you. The episode where Riley went out and looked for refugees in distress at sea, yep, I read the comments on that one. Some "people" were pretty derogatory in their commentary toward you. From that point forward I knew without a doubt you are truly good people and by Gawd... you're real, stay that way. Peace love and light from the north coast of California!!!
Riley looks like 007⚡ in his threads on the thumbnail. 😂
It looks like you both had a wonderful time on this trip! 👍 So happy for you all! 💞
Thanks for taking us along and much ❤️ from Michigan USA 🌊
Truly inspirational! The four of you should be so proud of yourselves for doing what you do. Absolutely amazing. Congratz!
U both looked so fab in ur evening wear hosting ur awards!!! I'm glad u had a great time!!! Love u guys!!!
Riley in a tux, be still my ol' lady heart. Elayna would look stunning in a burlap sack but she really rocked that gorgeous dress. So many changes coming for you. Thanks for always taking us on your adventures. You are loved.
You provide so much joy by sharing what gives you so much joy ... so rare that circle is so complete ...
Thank You
Riley and Elena thanks so much for this special episode.! Like you said so much excitement and appreciation but draining t o o. So special to see so much laughter smiles and entertainment. Can't wait to see you and your new Cruiser. Thanks for inviting us along and your kids are a riot. Catch you later bye
People like watching your videos because you allow us to experience adventures that most of us won't ever do,which is why so many people want to meet you guys.You make people happy and that's always a good thing.
Watching this video with a big grin on my face as I’ve been following you from the beginning. Can recall Riley fretting an anxious over joining Patreon . So happy for your well earned success. Big congratulations on both your growing business venture as well as your family. Who knew 😮
I LOVED seeing you both shine at the meet and greet. I hope you realize how much of an impact and utter joy your entire family and guests bring to people's lives. I will continue to follow and support your everything.
Much love, Michelle.
so many different emotions on this one! Thanks for being so open and honest about everything.
Another ripper guys (albeit a little tearful!) 💪🏼It's so interesting to see the insight of how life can be on the other side of the camera. Thanks for the beautiful videos and the memories shared with all of us. Now, onwards to Asia! 😬 Fair winds ⛵️
I have been watching you five years now, my son has been watching since you started out, he is 27, I did watch some beginning videos that my son wanted me to see, I need to watch the first 2 years, this video really brought out my tears, aww Lenny. So excited to see you in Vietnam, especially my son, he is waiting impatiently, since he loves the Asian countries.
A window into your lives. Happiness, emotions, anxieties, the video has it all. Mostly the love that is involved between people shines out giving such a wonderful feeling. Live your best lives. 🍺
Wow. What a life you've made. Great people dropping by! What a wonderful community! I was thinking way back, six or seven years ago, some fellow made a sexist comment on Patreon on Elayna's looks, and I slapped him with a comment of my own (Elayna sent a nice comment to me as a result) and then all this time later on this video upload I'm looking at her trying on dresses and for the first time I understand what that poor fellow may have been talking about. Wow. You both look great in a gown and tux. I have to add how wonderful that sailing community is, what great people they all seem to be. Not just at this boat show, which made me think of this, but throughout all this time what extraordinary good people they all have been in all seas and in all circumstances. It's an extraordinary blessing, that. Cheers and thanks for posting. Loved this one. It had everything. Also- sorry you lost a great nanny, she seems a gem.
Only come across the channel a week ago. Watched the Greta series. Now watching back some more. Really love the energy you both give off. I'm a single dad of two. One boy one girl. You're channel has kept me going these last few days. Keep the videos coming. Peace ✌
You both are such a huge inspiration. I used to do diet fads, but thanks to you all I'm just trying to eat healthier and be more active. You both are an inspiration to me, along with all the TH-camrs your friends with. Thank you so much, I do feel healthier and I have more energy. I appreciate you both and your family.
Great to see a couple of Aussie Kids keeping it real and not losing themselves in all the BS. More power to you guys.
Being famous, aka people recognizing you in person from watching your videos isn’t so bad if you use your platform for good, which you do! ❤ Thank you for sharing this part of your experiences.
Been following for 6 years, you guys are super stars ! You handled everything great!!! And you both shine up like brand new pennies ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯. Much love to you , and thank you for the many therapeutic moments at sea for me.
13:08 I bet when you guys first started sailing it never even crossed your minds that this is where you would be today. You guys deserve every single wonderful thing that comes your way. You both looked amazing! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you guys and your new home!!
I’m sorry that you have to deal with the weirdos that come with being famous.
That is for sure the number one reason why I don’t want to be on TH-cam, as much as have information I would like to share with people.
So I’m proud of you guys for helping out so many and being an icon, even with all the BS it comes with.
We all love you guys. And I would like to say most of all of us have your back and want to keep y’all safe❤
I had the chills watching the meet and greet. So many special and amazing people. Love you guys and the community you’ve created and shared your family and lives with. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for maintaining your humble approach. Stay true and out spoken and honest as you always do. love your show so much
Wow this episode was a total tear jerker! I've been following your journey since pretty much the beginning an so incredibly proud of how far you guys have come. You earned every ounce of recognition and may you stay blessed♥️
The game and all that jazz is well deserved. The four of you as human beings, and together as a family are an amazing example to the other 8.however many billion of us there are at how to live, love and sail. Truly deserving, keep up the example and all the hard work. Can't wait for the next one.
I loved this episode. Wish we could have been there. I had a realization when I saw you two all dressed up like celebrities: For a TV show, there's a whole behind-the-scenes support crew providing production, post-production, set design, wardrobe, script, lights, camera, sound, promotion, sales personnel getting advertisers, etc. All the actors have to do is show up and recite lines. You have done it all from scratch. Mega-respect and admiration for tremendous accomplishment. You are celebrities who actually deserve it, like it or not 🙂. Looking forward to what is coming.
Its really amazing how far you guys have come. I remember falling upon your channel when you had less than 10k subs. I was just looking for sailing vids. Still dont have my boat. But I have had your boat and you guys to live vicariously through. Never stop.
Amazing! I'm so glad that you both are good for each other. You nailed all the meet & greets. Thanks for sharing.
I came across a video of a young couple setting out on a sailing adventure. It happened to be your second post. I have been a sailor ever since. Thank you for sharing your wonderful lives. Oh, best line ever, "he had a mustache!" Or something to that effect!! Be safe!
Great video guys. I've been with you from the very first days, even before you bought your first sailboat and the romance got serious. It's amazing how much water has flowed under your keel in all that time. Major challenges, physical trials, baby on board, wild weather in the North Atlantic, beautiful locations, so much adventure, personal challenges, lots of laughter and tears, courageous and frightful moments, unfolding dreams, incredible partnerships like the one with Outremere and planning for your new boat and new adventures. Quite a ride. So much more to come.
I love watching you both grow as people. You were
" kids" 😉 when you started the channel and look at you both now! Incredible skills acquired along the way plus two awesome bambinos !
You INSPIRE and educate people all over the world, Every video.
Curious and excited for your next chapter! I wish you JoY.
Geez....always a lump in the throat moment when your awesome crew members leave. You guys are truly inspirational to so many.
So sad to see Ray leave! Hope the best for her. It was really cool to see behind the scenes of the young cruisers event. You guys are top notch
I started watching over 6 yrs ago, have seen every episode. The joy & adventure you bring to so many people is incredible. I’m from British Columbia, Canada, on the Pacific Coast where we have some of the most beautiful islands & inlets. You have such a range of followers. My son has a small boat that sleeps 4 & I love going on adventures when invited. Every Monday, you would laugh, as I talk to myself saying “I can’t wait to see my kids & see what they’re up to”. I’m an elderly lady, on my own & I get so much joy from following when you first met to having a family. Can’t wait for to see the new catamaran. Take care of yourselves. PS I love how Riley said Elayna looked so beautiful. ❤
Finding your channel two years ago I think has changed me. I saw your joy for life, the love you have for each other and sailing and I thought why can’t I be like that, it took months of watching you to realise I could I just needed to change my attitude. I know fans can be scary and stalkerish sometimes but for some of us you, just by being you, have turned our lives around.
You both were so gracious to everyone!
I am so happy for your success! To bring more love to the world, not just to your family, but extended, is a rare accomplishment. After 46 years of photographing actors, as part of the Hollywood star-making machinery, I have seen how hundreds of famous people handle themselves. Without a doubt, you are doing an amazing job. Practical considerations aside, it is all about ego management. You both keep each other well-grounded. I know that movie-making is a real job unto itself, but you both carry it off with grace and consistent pro-level skill, while keeping us all entertained in front of the camera too! What a feat. The children grow more beautiful every day. I pray you stay safe and happy as the journey continues. Please do not fret about keeping your location guarded. The crazy famous have bodyguards the size of NFL linemen with them whenever they go. Fortunately, your fan following is sweet and lovable, but that does not mean you don’t have to take precautions. Never think twice about it, it is your duty 🤩😍
I like this comment because of the ego management remark. We watch countless actors go off the depth end believing their own BS. Unfortunately, as you have come to know, fame carries undesirable baggae. People act like they know you and are privy to your space and time. Regrettable but it comes with the teritory. I am sure 95% of your following understands and respect your space and what you have graciously given us.
Thank you, a thousand times, Thank You
This was incredible to see! I think you deal with all the attention really well. Often people assume that because you’re able to talk to a camera that you can naturally talk to large groups of people but it’s completely different. Especially when you get recognised and people come up to you unexpectedly. You both looked incredible at the awards too! 🔥
WOW! You guys, with your generosity of sharing, really put yourselves through the mill!
Merry Christmas.
People with breathing issues often sleep propped up like that.
But Elay busting out laughing cracked me up🤣
Aww really, ooops… probably shouldn’t have laughed like I did then 🤣🤣😬
I think it's used 90% of the time by us lazy people who like to chill in bed haha
Also helps with Gerd or other diseases that would cause acid reflux
@@SailingLaVagabonde I’d say it’s fair, Riley, as we laugh at your fairly often! Cheers from New Zealand 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿
You guys are crushing it! Keep it up!!!
I'm grateful for the sailing community. It's the community created by the love , kindness an realness you show about this style of life.. I am upset I didn't make it to Annapolis this year. I'm 22 miles from the docks!
You both have earned your blessings! With this said .. Elaina, you have every right to be uncomfortable with someone approaching your home just cuz they're curious! No not cool you have kids no matter what you show on YT. Still no one should come unannounced to anyone's home no matter how approachable they seem ..!!
I'm excited for the wisdom an laughter and what the future holds for your family! It will be beautiful ✌🏼💗😊⛵
For so long now, many years been watching you two and for some reason I feel so proud for all that you have accomplished and have created a lifestyle that you want, that you live, that you honor everyday., I'm surprised at how proud I am of you both and have never actually conversed or met you!! But, it's authentic and true. Truly an inspiration.
🥂 Congratulations on all your success 🍾
Without followers, no fame!
Without fame, no financial gain!
That is life in the lime light.. whether TV, film or you tube!.
Enjoy the ride and when you don't anymore, then its time to get out and find another way to make a living!... your family comes first🙂.
Of course all of us you tube subscribers, that have followed and supported your adventures for many years, hope we still have many years of following your new adventures... roll on La Vagabond 2!
I have been a sub for quite a long time...I watched this video with tears in my eyes..but when Lenny cried it broke my heart. You both have come so far, accomplished so much and will continue to do so. I must say You are a beautiful family ❤️ God bless and may he keep you and your beautiful boy's safe always. ❤️ 🙏
Just ordered a copy of Elay's book. SO excited. I read over 100 books on a good year, but children's books are really near and dear to my heart. Can't wait for it to show up. My almost 3 year old Corbin will love this new addition. This book will be treasured since I've watched your vlog for years. Raising boys together! ❤
Beautiful episode! It was great to board La Vagabonde at the show,, meet the new captain and I've known Alex for years when he worked at a sailing club in Annapolis. He is a terrific guy ... it blew my mind when I first saw him working with you.
But then not a surprise at all because he is an accomplished and skilled yachtsman who is supremely agreeable.
I greatly enjoyed all your background filming during the show and talking about your emotions throughout the experience. Carry on!!
Thanks for taking us along on the journey! And its important to share the lows as well as the highs - something you've always done. Hopefully that small percentage of people will remember you are a family first and foremost and respect your privacy.
I've been watching you guys for probably around 2 yrs or so, give or take, and the way I look at this video is pride. One simple word. Pride. I know Riley may struggle with the "fame" word but you know what it all boils down to is the fact that you and Elayna have touched soooooo many people with your adventures and the sweet, genuine, awesome people you are. The whole weekend looked like one surreal ride for you guys but ultimately people love what you do, love who you are and we are so thankful, it goes beyond words, for the journey you have shared with us. I'm so proud of you for achieving such greatness. Thank you!!! All my love from England ❤️
Thanks
I truly enjoy watching you guys and those you invite along - farewell to Ray. Your boys are blessed by the wonderful people you bring onboard. It has to be so enriching for their lives. And may I add, you always spruce up well for a land-based party….and conduct yourselves with genuine sincerity and what we refer to here in New Zealand …aroha …love and affection …for everyone you meet. ❤️🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
Y’all are just incredible. All I can say is thank you for opening my eyes to the world and I pray I can do this one day
Its so nice to see you both get the recognition you deserve 😊
I live in Maryland and just missed out from seeing you guys (had our first baby, a boy!); but i wanted to say how amazing your family is. The way you enjoy every moment, and approach the journey is an inspiration. I hope one day to say hi in person, but for now Ill settle for a simple 👋🏻🌊⚓️⛵️
I think what you're doing is amazing..sharing your adventures with everyone. Your kids are living such an awesome life. And the best part, you have remained humble thru it all..great video..🙂
What an awesome fanbase you have acquired over the years and very much deserved !!!!
Another Follower from Day One, You Guys have earned our Love and Respect, stay safe and keep it going. Vern Australia.
Great episode, so much going on. The highs and the lows your family and yourselves are experiencing, from the celebrity status you and your channel have achieved with all the opportunity it brings, to the sadness of Lenny's realization of the loss of the only home he has known and the departure of another awesome nanny in Rae, such a rollercoaster of emotion. I've been a part of your journey since Stevo Kinevo flew out to visit you and I've truly enjoyed every minute you guys have shared. Really looking forward to the adventures ahead on the new trimaran!
As always, another top-notch production.
I have enjoyed immensely, your videos since the monohull days and there has always been something of interest.
I'm not sure why your videos are so addictive, apart from the fact that I love sailing so much and yet done so little of it.
I think it's because you two+ are so natural and you show almost everything about your lives, warts and all.
You have a formula that just works, and it works well.
More strength to you.
I read a comment a few episodes back, saying it's so unfair for the children not to have a home and stable life. I wanted to respond so bad but I was to angry and thought I just will let it go. Today I will respond now that I have calmed down. I'm a old grandmother. That could only wish my kids and grandkids could have had the experience these boys are having. These beautiful little boys have seen and learned more in their few year than most adults have. They have all the love and stability that is needed. Infact alot more than some parents do that live in a home. Lenny is so smart and no doubt his baby brother will be the same. Besides who wants their kids attending public school here in America anymore? It's dangerous with all the shootings and bullets. These boys are getting the best education from their parents who are doing a amazing job. Ok my rant is over. I'm very lost though when Lenny got his hair cut. It's so adorable. I watch every episode. Where did I miss it? You two looked amazing. I'm so proud of all you have accomplished. Sending lots of love from Utah.
