I struggle with chronic pain and a severe spinal injury and your videos bring me so much joy on my hard days! They inspire me ! Thank you for doing what you do
Mark Wismer ....having R in the shot gave great perspective. ... we could see how massive the turtle was. What an experience for R. These two people are by far the best vlogers on YT.
just impossible to view your fabulous vlogs without a huge smile across my face and i thank you so much for all the pleasure you've brought me over many years, wishing you all well and safe
One thing I’ve always admired about both of you is the free diving you do. Hop off the boat, check the anchor. Hop off the boat, hunt down something edible. Or just swim. Really gotta hand it to you. And the expert vids and music. You did good Riley, buying that boat, meeting Elay.
Awesome Loggerhead turtle footage Riley ! Delicious looking bread Elayna. Looks better than the one Meg made !! Another epic speared fish Riley! Nice footage of Riley checking the "water depth" off the back of the tender Elayna Hahahaha!! As always thank you for taking all of us along on your adventures, always a great escape, especially from the 10 inches of new snow outside. Fair winds and following seas La Vagabond!
I just have to say the cinematography in this vid is absolutely AMAZEBALLS! 😍 Thank you for the sunshine and taking us along for the ride. Can't wait to see your new adventures with Lenny 💓😁
I always enjoy of course the beautiful places you guys sail. The sun , the beaches, and the crystal clear water is so awesome but on this video I really enjoy seeing the two of you sitting on the deck and just talking. The peace and tranquillity in this segment with the light conversation between you speaks volumes of where you both are spiritually, emotionally and relationally. The thing that has always attracted me to this lifestyle is the simplicity. I mean I certainly understand the hard work aspect and can understand the challenges one needs to overcome in unexpected situations but the simple pleasures are what has always drawn me to this dream. My life is anything but simple as the years have weighed me down with obligations and responsibilities to family, job, community etc. Not that these things are bad or that I don’t enjoy them its just there are so many things that would make pursuit of this lifestyle so difficult to do. Matter of fact, just today I realized that in order to do this I (or we, wifey) have to decide what we are willing to give up because we can’t do everything , or be there for everybody no matter if those things also give us pleasure such as friends, family specifically local relationships that would be hard to maintain as easily from the distance of a live aboard. So its time to take a real serious look at this and make some real decisions. Basically, “ poop or get off the pot” you know? Anyway, keep those videos coming!
Great shot on that reef hole! Couldn't believe that size pescado came out of that hole ha ha! You've become quite the predator, a conscientious predator at that, Riley. Enjoy
That was epic! That little guy had such a good time with that lobster. It was huge! It’s amazing to see you guys out by yourselves without anybody else around. I didn’t think you could do that in this world anymore. Very nice
Riley, I own a sightseeing tour company in Charleston. I would enjoy giving you a personal tour when you arrive here. It’s a fabulous city with tons of history and architecture.
I just love the music in your episodes! I cannot sit still on the train to uni and always have a pathetic smile on my face! Thanks for spicing up my daily commute 💕👌🏽
I think those shots where you encounter these amazing creatures, being able to share that with us, that's why I'm in love with your content. Really puts a smile on my face.
I can literally feel your joy at seeing this turtle up close, that was awesome!! Thanks for going back up to grab your camera to share it with everyone!!!!!
Don't know how you guys keep finding this amazing music, but Kudos !! Loved the Loggerhead sequence.. Have never seen a turtle this big or of this kind before. BTW, the tan looks F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. !! 😊👍👌🤘☀️🏝🌊🌞🍞🧀✨
it just doesnt get old watching you catch fish!. Hubby and I have been inspired. Planning on getting sailing lessons in the summer. Hello from Toronto Canada!
Great video guys, many thanks. Damn, your B roll material lately has been amazing, nice work (Elayna?). Edit - I had to edit this to correct what I meant to say ...your content / editing / AND B roll have been amazing lately. This was a fantastic video. Thanks again.
Very nice encounter with the turtle and nice you recorded it for the rest of us. You may be looking forward to your single sail, but I bet it will not be long before you miss her.
We have enjoyed watching your travels and new and exciting chapters unfold. I especially like the thumbnail you chose for this one......what a BOHEMOTH!!!!
im just 3 min into this episode but I have to stop and comment! haha so glad you got to experience that so cool and such nice footage too! love it, The Sea truly is the last frontier so many cool things to explore under the surface
I feel a little like we are with you , the quality of the videos are great . What a experience being that close to the turtle truly amazing . I like going back and seeing videos I missed . All this time I've been trying to figure out your accents and I Finally got it . Your from Jersey , Jersey City ...
Mate you guy's are just fantastic. Thanks for sharing your life with us👍 your footage and editing is next to none. Can't wait till the next vlog. Stay safe 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 perth WA
What is the name of the last song? It is incredible! "Footsteps of my own history. Walked the miles all by myself. Hardship..." ??? I want to hear more :-)
Seriously love watching y'all! We were at the Miami International Boat show, misses Riley by a day, but we were dreaming a bit about buying a catamaran and see the world like y'all!
maybe do a video on how you guys sail the boat? ins and outs and such. the little sail part in this video was really fun! I am so jealous of your lifestyle!
Love the content and the adventure. I've always wondered over what time frame you film the episodes. Ever thought about listing the dates over which the episodes have been filmed and putting that in the description. Anyways, keep livin good.
😂 The high key joke got me laughing so hard! What a legend you are, mate! Also, how amazing to get to dive with such a beautiful turtle! This is among my fav videos so far (and I've watched them all!)
I was lucky enough to be approached by a loggerhead that size in my first boat dive. It’s so humbling and exhilarating. It brought me back seeing your excitement. ❤️
I was expecting a Riley joke in reply and was instead surprised by a very poignant moment. Lots of emotions I'm sure. Being alone for a month, away from your pregnant wife, single handed sailing. It's alot
Another great episode although I was a bit concerned the turtle would get distracted from his lobster and have a go at you with his mouth which looked a bit vicious!! A couple of suggestions we picked up from others that may (or may not!) work for you - we periodically use a silicone spray on the mainsail track and it drops beautifully. We also have a 3mm nylon cord from the 3rd reef to the top of the mainsail so when it drops less quickly in big winds we can pull the last bit down easily & quickly. Keep up the great vids and hope we see you in the med next time you're here (whenever that might be).
Riley, You should consider sailing to the Chesapeake Bay to store your boat. I'd bet you already have some patrons that have a marina or docks on the bay that would be ideal for you. Plus, no major international airports near Charleston, SC. Maryland has international hubs with BWI and Dullas nearby so you can save on airfare back home.
Awesome video again guys. Love it! And I’m super excited my order of SLV calendar 2019, my T shirts n hubbys “he’s super excited about that T shirt” Riley is he’s fishing gob lol, cup coasters, n 2 SLV stickers will be here tomorrow. Yayyy! And a shout out to Captain Lenny is beautiful guys. Safe travels/sailing ❣️
Hi you two !! Great Vid again Elayna , , Cheers Hope all is well you you both atm, , and the young fella ,, F- -k, , lol can't think of his name ?? lol bugger !! Take good care !!
Been watching your journeys for years. Love it in every way. I have even been able to revisit places I have been thru your videos. Malta, Sampson Cay, Staniel Cay etc. Riley I know you Love Elayna. The birth of your child is an amazing experience. I have 3 and watched each and every one come into this world. Bless you both.
You are really doing a great job with the filming, I love it. Look beautiful mamasita, take care of the baby, you make me nervous when going in the dingy with the waves. Take care of her Riley.
Hey Riley, my husband and I would love to hear your thoughts on Ciguatera. It seems like you have no concerns about getting sick from it. I remember an old video where Elayna had it. When we sail in the Caribbean we want to fish for our dinner, but we have this fear. Safe travels and congratulations on your new bundle of joy.
Yup! Sad for us as well that you are leaving although for good reasons. Riley will be lost without you as will all of us! Wish you, baby and Riley only the best! Thank you for the great videos and am looking forward to the baby reveal.... :)
Yep another great log the loggerhead was fantastic I two used to live and work on boats miss that life but people like me can see and understand such a great life from the farm here in Darwin river loving every second of you both
Such an epic looking turtle! Michael had one try and mount him during breeding season in Belize. I've never laughed so hard... Looks like you guys are living the life, this video is exactly why we want a yacht. Congrats on the grouper! FYI - check out a tutorial on the tube, there is a much easier way to put your fins in to the pockets :-P
Were you making pound cake?. I love watching,and learning at the same time...it is like walking into a 2nd hand book store,and seeing on the wall,a price list with a suggestion to pay for hard backs,etc..and just having a drop box for your donation. I find that to be cool. Thank you
Great footage guy's. The bumps growing! (appreciate this is a bit behind current events). Cannot wait to see you guy's with the little one. Things change and perspectives alter when you become a mum or dad. You think about things that you never thought of before. Take some time for yourselves. It's important!!!! On another note... How about you take up our TH-cam beach clean challenge? (See video) You can influence people to make a difference! Sail Safe. Ant & Cid xx (SV Impavidus).
I want to pet your mustache.
@@SailingLaVagabonde Riley practicing his dad jokes .. high cay .. get it ..get it .. gonna make a great dad
Get in line
Can I just pet the turtle?
I want a pet mustache
Gunther mustache...lol.
Riley’s excitement at his turtle encounter is infectious. I found myself smiling from ear to ear. Great episode. Thanks a bunch.
"Racoons. Racoons?" Hahaha I laughed for literally 5 minutes
His reaction 😂😂😂
I struggle with chronic pain and a severe spinal injury and your videos bring me so much joy on my hard days! They inspire me ! Thank you for doing what you do
May god give u more happiness ☺✨ stay blessed ☺
Thanks a lot for using my songs guys! Really appreciate it, cheers!!
Fantastic turtle pix! So glad you caught it on camera!
Mark Wismer ....having R in the shot gave great perspective. ... we could see how massive the turtle was. What an experience for R. These two people are by far the best vlogers on YT.
That look shared between them at 15:12 is so sweet. Just listening and acknowledgment. You can tell they are gonna miss one another.

The editing is world class and the background music is perfect!!❤️
steve roth I agree. Wish they could credit the music at the end or in comment section of each video. The music is so soothing!
yes. their videos let you in. rather than grab you by the neck.
“Raccoons, Elayna raccoons?” LOL 😂
I guess they poach the eggs or the young?
Yes they do. They will dig up eggs from fresh water turtles as well. Cheers, Dan

Can't wait to see your new adventures with Lenny 💓😁
That audio editing starting at 8:00 was SO well done. Even ending with a closing guitar lick as he broke the surface. Brava Elena.
Gorgeous turtle! Thank you for taking the trouble to film it. The kids have watched it over and over.

Riley's laugh always gets me smiling hahahaha its just that kinda laugh that makes you want to laugh, another great vid guys thank you

You guys are living a wonderful life.
I just love the music in your episodes! I cannot sit still on the train to uni and always have a pathetic smile on my face! Thanks for spicing up my daily commute 💕👌🏽
Great sound and editing in that sequence of Riles spearfishing and E in the dink searching for him. It was like a Bond action movie!
The logger head shots are the best you've ever done ! Thanks...
The music to his dive was PERFECT!!
Fantastic experience, let’s hope we see more of these magnificent creatures. Respect from England 🏴👏🏽
I think those shots where you encounter these amazing creatures, being able to share that with us, that's why I'm in love with your content. Really puts a smile on my face.
You guys put so much effort in these videos, and it really pays off. One of the best channels on TH-cam. Thank you and stay well!

Loved the spear fishing fishing action sequence! The filming and editing just keeps getting better and better!
Took our boys swimming with turtles in mexico this year...it was magical... great video again...brought back great memories.
"its not an add" -Riley
Hahahaha
Also, just got to say how much I've been enjoying the spear fishing shots lately! Quality shots!
It’s so cute knowing that you guys are editing these videos with a little baby on your lap or him watching you.
What is the name of the last song? It is incredible! "Footsteps of my own history. Walked the miles all by myself. Hardship..." ??? I want to hear more :-)
I'm in awe, glad, happy, impressed and a bit jealous . You guys are awesome !
Oh man, grouper sandwiches! Nice catch! The turtle was absolutely amazing, especially how welcoming it was with you next to it. What an experience!
Riley, Amazing, absolutely amazing. You have now gotten to do something few will ever be able to experience. I am jealous.
Epicness Rare Turtle encounter! loved the excitement Riles. Hellofa fish hunt as well!
Seriously love watching y'all! We were at the Miami International Boat show, misses Riley by a day, but we were dreaming a bit about buying a catamaran and see the world like y'all!
Love that he calls you pants lol where did that come from?
Hey Riley do you think you'll ever 'put a ring on it'? Just sayin'...
maybe do a video on how you guys sail the boat? ins and outs and such. the little sail part in this video was really fun! I am so jealous of your lifestyle!
Wow! You guys have really stepped up the editing and cinematography game! These videos look awesome!
Love the content and the adventure. I've always wondered over what time frame you film the episodes. Ever thought about listing the dates over which the episodes have been filmed and putting that in the description. Anyways, keep livin good.

Riley, you are the master of the Dad Joke. Lenny will love it. lol
From a stranger back home in Adelaide, love your work once again.
Diet seems perfect, also Do not change a thing about your vlogs
"are you going to miss me"? tears in his eyes say it all.
I was expecting a Riley joke in reply and was instead surprised by a very poignant moment. Lots of emotions I'm sure. Being alone for a month, away from your pregnant wife, single handed sailing. It's alot
Fantastic vlogs. Ill never be able to do what you do, but ill enjoy every moment of you guys going through it and sharing it for me.
Another great episode although I was a bit concerned the turtle would get distracted from his lobster and have a go at you with his mouth which looked a bit vicious!!

Turtle was awesome. I really love your videos. Can’t wait to see the baby. God bless

Spearing the fish video amazing 😉 nice production.
What's the song at the end? So good... You guys are awesome!
The bread looks delicious! Also, if the wind picks up you can tie it to a rope & use it as an anchor.
Hi you two !! Great Vid again Elayna , , Cheers Hope all is well you you both atm, , and the young fella ,, F- -k, , lol can't think of his name ?? lol bugger !! Take good care !!

You are really doing a great job with the filming, I love it. Look beautiful mamasita, take care of the baby, you make me nervous when going in the dingy with the waves. Take care of her Riley.
You guys are masters, at showing us, what the perfect life, looks like!!! I'm jelly!!!
Amazing footage of the turtle! What kind of fish were those trying to steal bits of what the lobster was eating?
Can’t wait to see little Lenny in the vids! He’s gonna be one expert free diver
Hey Riley, my husband and I would love to hear your thoughts on Ciguatera. It seems like you have no concerns about getting sick from it. I remember an old video where Elayna had it.

Love the continuity between videos, as always brilliant editing. Keeping it real.
Awesome episode! Incredible editing as usual too 😄

Riley, you mentioned possibly coming to Charleston, my home town. If there's anything I can do to help or provide please let me know!
As always, a delight. I always leave your videos with a smile. Thank you.
