You guys shouldn’t ever feel bad for having crew!! Y’all are being safe and making sure your kiddos have the attention they need! There’s nothing wrong with it. Keep doing what you’re doing! It’s beautiful!
On land, I’ve always had a daycare or a sitter . Daycare so I can go to work, and sitters for social needs! There’s no difference in that and having your crew! 👍🏼
I agree!!
You guys are great parents doing what’s best for your family. Yup, the trolls can just shut up. Lol
Exactly 💯
Absolutely, I think we all wish we could have help because it make more well rounded parents. Parents can’t be there for kids all of the time especially on a boat. It’s safer to have extra hands and eyes. We all applaud you
I love how cautious, vigilant and protective you are as parents and everyone else while sailing. Much respect for your professionalism as sailors.
Yes, yes, yes, Mr men books fully rocked my world, OK my kids too. And Mrs, men can't rember :(. Doing a great job of keeping the team together.
That's the job of every captain on every boat.they are not doing anything special
@@frankm5019 is that a haha, or harsh?. I'm not on a boat and I live with the captain.
ditto
@@frankm5019 mate imo they are very special, doing very special & extraordinary things.
In addition to how much safer it is having help, you are employing people, giving people opportunities to live and work on a sail boat and providing social exposure to your children who live remotely most of the time. Ignore the trolls.
Plus David is very easy on the eyes so thank you 🙏🏻 from the bottom of my heart 🥰😂
I love how Lenny asked you to tell him a secret because he doesn’t know anything! Adorable! Your kiddos are so cute! Lucky to have you guys as parents!
Lenny's laugh is the cutest sound in the world 🥺
OMG, Riley was on a roll this week. Between the wombats, alone time and “not” sleeping with one eye open had me giggling throughout the video. As for the trolls, to hell with them! All of you are living an amazing life, your sons will learn about and see things the rest of us can only imagine. Thank you for another awesome video. ❤️
So right! I agree whole heartedly
Im a sailor and its a LOT of work when you are making a passage, then with two tiny kids, videographer and editing etc, trying to eat well and keep clean, even on anchor there's always stuff to do. I am glad you have crew/friends with you. Plus its more fun that way as well.
I’ve noticed a positive difference in you both since you started having crew on board. It is a wise choice for a safer, less stressful environment given the amount of work that goes into your lifestyle and probably makes you more connected with your kiddos, since you’re not constantly stressed out. Anyone that’s being critical is most likely just jealous. What an amazing and beautiful life you have! Thanks for sharing it with all of us!
Riley, don't worry about the haters, You have amazing fans, that Love what You all are doing!
trolls suck....ignorant trolls are worse.
#ignorethetrolls
@@joedirt3226 right on!
i have four kids and live in a home and on land and still have kids get hurt and running to the hospital, so im glad you have help with two kids cause they get hurt so easy.... don't listen to poeple who think its not hard because you have help.... they have no idea.....
Ur kids are going to grow up with so many good memories and life experiences and been able to sail n and probably running of a boat been second nature to them what a life ur giving them 🙏
But be loners and have no friends
It was the “so y’all can all just shut up” that earned your thumbs up 👍 today. 😂 There are always going to be the people that will share their personal thoughts uninvited!
At the end of each day it’s only you and your family and crew that matter so you do you!❤️ Great video as always!
You guys (Elayna especially) seem so happy and relaxed in the recent episodes. Glad to see you having fun and loving life.
true!
Hahaha love Riley telling the trolls to shut up! 😂🙌🏼
I love that the two brothers are each other’s companions! They will grow smarter together!!
I’m a new subscriber 😊 (saw you guys on @karaandnate ‘s channel) and I will admit, when I saw you guys had a nanny, I said to myself “Wow! They are so privileged. They don’t have to get the kids ready for school or any of the day to day struggles…”
But it’s only after watching a couple of your videos I began to realize WTF 😭😭 How the hell are they doing it!?!?!?!??? There is sooooo much to be done and the kids are CONSTANTLY moving it’s crazy.
You guys have my full respect and I love your content!
Love you guys from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
My favorite part was your conversation with Lenny, when he was supposed to be sleeping. And his laugh! Adorable!!!
My preference for eating pasta is in a wide rimmed bowl-plate. 😁
Small abode, loving parents, gorgeous happy children and a great support team (way more than 'crew') ... makes for a special home. Whether on land or sea ... this is how we should live - small, cosy and mostly self sufficient. Living in touch with nature and knowing how to navigate each day - is powerful and rewarding. Those who choose to take shots at you wouldn't last a day - clueless. I enjoyed this episode. Just sweet.
email you for tomorrow

E you look to be blushing! ☺️ y’all are so sweet!
No need EVER to apologize or respond to trolls. 😀
@sailing La Vagabonde, when you have crew on the boat where do they sleep.
I was a patron and have watched you guys since epp 10 ish. (have watched them all though ) im sorry to say I had to bail out. I realise you and the channel have to change with the family but with staying in the one area and not having adventures like you use to even when Lenny was little with Andre on board I now fall asleep watching, I just let this play in the background and barely needed to look up at the screen to know whats going on. the episodes all seem the same these days. I will prob get hammered now by all the super fans blowing hot air up your sails but think some feed back cant hurt.
i still remember when you guys announced you were having Lenny!! So happy for you guys and your family
Have you tried Mighty Travels Premium yet?
I am in awe. You are doing an amazing job raising children at sea. I can’t imagine doing that even with a lil help from such a small crew of 2. Bravo. Claustrophobia and cabin fever with such young children would have me in tears a lot. I love your channel. All the best and blessings from an American on St. Vincent.
i really like the deep dive your videos have been doing lately - into the nitty gritty of life as a young sailing family. it's incredible how much planning goes into what can seem from the "outside" as a simple sail from point A to point B.
blows my mind how you are able to intertwine the ever-changing workings of family life with the ever-changing duties of sailing.
love your authenticity and genuine gratitude for life.
Both Lenny and Darwin are lovely, bright and beautiful little boys. You are giving them an incredible and unique life that will serve them well. They will also forge an unbreakable bond as each other’s best friend. Lenny has already developed an adventurous spirit and seems to be a sweet and kind child, too. And Darwin? What a cutie! Great work, guys. All of you.
You guys are such great attentive parents,which being on a boat,certainly helps,since you're kids are always close and part of your everyday life. It seems to be helping the boys develop close relationships with both of you and appreciating their parents.Plus,you include them in the sailing duties,like Lenny steering,which helps their development.They are very lucky boys.
Man they've come so far. I remember when they were just getting started. Such a different world now. Won't be too long and those kids will be all the crew they need.
@𝘀𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗮𝟭 Sorry I'm only into bots.
By that time Riley will be about 55 well past his sailing around world days.
In regard to the nanny comment.... Ghezz Louise! I would be worried if you DIDN'T have crew to help with the kids. Never enough eyes when you're on a boat. I don't know how you do it. I would be a nervous wreck. THANK HEAVENS for nannies, helpers, crew.... any extra set of hands and eyes to keep the kids safe. I love what you do and that your kids are growing up the way they are. What a unique experience. Applause to you all!
OMG! Lenny's laugh is SO contagious! haha...He's seems so easily amused - Adorable!
always good to see david! solid sea-hand to help you two!
I was born 20 miles off the coast of Juneau. My father was one of the original fishermen that "deadliest catch" is based on. Back in the 60s and 70s.
The Remora (if anybody wants to look up that trawller from the 70s, out of Juneau, Alaska) My parents set up a swing for me, to keep me in a safe spot, lol. ;)
Lenny has so much personality, great kid
You guys are awesome parents and are creating fantastic memories for your family! Love you guys! ❤️
Thanks Clare ☺️☺️
Nice episode! I’m glad, for one, that you all are being super careful- keeping an eye on Riley in case he falls overboard. A safety episode might be fun to put together and watch. It’s all part of a keeping it real theme. Respect!
Really enjoyed this video, like being on board for the day to day and I just love watching the boys and listening to Lenny. Thank you for sharing your world with us!
Definitely bowls for pasta!!! Shocked how grown up Lenny is, so talkative, the boys are incredibly cute, as always! Congrats for the lifestyle, priorities and Cares! ❤️❤️ big supporter, love watching you guys, keep it up!!
Yep Team Bowl 🥣 for sure
Great video, love how Riley deals to the trolls...love to see Darwins big smile and Lenny's laugh, Elayna is such an awesome mother. Thanks for sharing a bit of your lives.
Lenny saying “What? That will be terrible” was the cutest thing 😭❤️ You guys are very blessed with a beautiful life and family!!
19:43 Lenny is growing so fast..... he's absolutely adorable 😍 and talking so well. We'll done Lenny ✔️ I am proud of you, and you are such a great brother ❤️
Y’all are raising lovely, worldly, excited kiddos! Congratulations! Y’all are truly living life and showing your little men how it’s done!
Keep up the hard work and awesome content SLV! By far the best channel on the tube!
Love the episodes with the kids, feels so real 👏🏼
I loved seeing so much of the boys! SLV makes me look forward to Mondays! I'm planning to join your patreon!
I love the way your little family lives!! And I can’t imagine having to kiddos on the boat without help!!! As always….. sending love and good vibes 💜
Great vlog, I had to watch the last bit of videoing twice just to see Lenny chatting with mum about sleep,.It melted my heart.❤ You both do a fantastic job of entertaining us and bringing up your beautiful boys
It makes perfect sense to have a crew! Both for safety and for having time for each other, for the kids and for everything else.
I've been watching you for easily 4 years now. Recently my 2 year old boy has started asking to watch sailing boat videos and we watch your videos together and he loves it. He always asks for more after each episode 💙
Whenever I've had a bad day I always watch your show because it is so relaxing and there is always laughter that is infinite. You are a family of positivity always.
I think how ever you can continue doing what ya'll have accomplished raise your kids and live this awesome life ya'll are living together' more power to you!
God bless you and you babies! I've been watching from the beginning of your filmed life and you are wonderful people and great parents!
Your crew is amazing. How could you do it without them? Keep those kids safe. Love you so much. ♥️
I just purchased my first sailboat yesterday. I'm flying to Key West in about two weeks to live on the boat with my two year old son. I was told about your channel. Watching these videos is bringing me joy. You have a beautiful family :)
It’s amazing watching the boys progress.
Lenny is doing so good, and I can’t believe Darwin is almost one & already walking & has lots of teeth. They’re growing up so fast 💙🙏🏼
Beautiful family❣️🥰🙏🏼
Eleuthera is one of my favorite places on earth! I went to school there for a little bit and it has always had a special place in my heart! 🏝
Guys one of the best videos you have done in awhile! Included all the elements of your on-going experience! You’re amazing people and parents. The real life your living is what 99% of the rest of the people in this world are missing. I have experienced 7 years of that kind of life living in a foreign country when my kids were young. So many wonderful memories. They all have their own as well. Living outside the “box” is a challenge in every respect but so worth it! Kudos to you both! Cheers!
I love that you're on Noom!!!
Hi guys , you all make my day when I'm feeling a bit down ,I'm disabled and probably never get to go on a Saling boat so I love to watch you all enjoyingrowing the life ,I wish I would of done this my self when I was a young fellow, keep the videos coming they keep me alive, ps your boys are amazing I have never seen such happy children, I have been watching almost from the beginning, love you guys Loz,, uk
Loved this espisode especially all the humour that is peppered throughout
I have just started watching your channel this last month and I binged watched most of your episodes. I am so excited to see your next adventure at my part of the world (I am from Malaysia). I even got my Asian land bound parents hooked on your channel and to consider getting a boat and just sail during their golden years. I would love to be able to sail the seas right now, but until it can be financially viable and workable for my life, I am living vicariously through your channel. Both of you are doing an amazing job raising a family on the seas. Us land people take for granted the amenities available on land and we don't appreciate it. Therefore, I think you should NEVER EVER feel bad for having crew on board to help you. I cannot ever imagine how you would be able to stay safe as a family without your crew! I also love your crew and I do hope we get to see more of Andre at some point. Anyhow, keep doing what both of you think is best for your family and ignore the haters and trolls. Looking forward to your next episode! If you are in Malaysia I hope I could meet all of you.
Loved this perspective about boat life with children. You are (All) fantastically organized.
I like that Lenny said, "no more." to David's tickling him. That is important to respect and I hope his boundaries are respected. As a boy who didn't have my boundaries expected I say this is am important part of his development. My fingers are crossed Alyna Carouso Riley Whitlam.
I love the comical, hilarious shared laughs and silly 's, btwn Elayna and Lenny.
Love your episodes and all that you share, we bought a boat!! You are the reason so many of us are taking to life on the water, or simply taking up a new hobby, thank you for being here on You Tube, plus, I signed up to @NOOM thanks @Elayna, what a great tip!! Even at the great mid life age of 53, I can never stop learning, and it’s making such a difference to our meal planning. Safe travels. Paula 🙏🏻
You guys make the things you do look so easy, which anyone knows with two boys can be a real challenge. Thanks for sharing your family with us.
Love the MR. books…when they get older (or when ever) they have them in different languages which can be a fun way to introduce them to a new language. Have a great week!
Lenny’s laugh is everything ❤️🥰
One of the greatest videos ever. Been watching for a couple years now don't believe I missed a video. But you guys rock especially with the little ones. Good luck to ya and hopefully someday we'll cross paths!
I just love how real riley is. Love y’all’s family
I used to eat spaghetti on a plate but switched to a wide shallow bowl which i find works rather well. No more sliding off the plate when I go to the couch to eat.
Exactly.
Such a beautiful little family 🥰
you two some times bring tears to my eyes god bless you
Thank you for the content keep it up! Love you guys, y’all’s family and life is beautiful.
Having raised 1 child on land I am so glad you guys are smart enough to know you need more pairs of eyes and hands to keep EVERYONE safe at sea. These trolls can go pound salt. As for spaghetti... cut up on a plate 😁 none of this twirly slurpy messy business 🤣
Isn’t the art and mechanics of twirling the long spaghetti into a neat, smallish bite part of the fun & satisfaction of eating spaghetti? To each his own, tho! Tory
why are you creepin on someone else's page? This is a learning, living, family channel not somewhere to promote your useless videos.
Yay great episode including how to make the tortillas with oats....oooh and of course David is back to help at the vagabond! That's a yay! For me 😁....hello Mr. Gorgeous
You guys are so awesome, I didn't have time to watch your videos for a couple of months and I can see that somehow in that short period you became even better storytellers and editors than before. And before wasn't shaby at all. Wish you all the best and there's tiny hope in me that we meet someday, because you are the kind of people I want to surround myself with.
I love you guys. Following you in all your adventures and praying for you all's safety. You are awesome.
my opinion on the negative comment: why do they want ppl to have an even more difficult time? do they think sailing should be grueling and dangerous at all times or else it isn't sailing?
the whole point in sailing is to sail, doesn't really matter how you do it as long as you're as safe as you can be.
It's sooo great to see you two being affectionate with each other, I keep telling my roommate, they are NOT brother and sister! 😅😎😅😎
Hahaha I’m glad you guys are finally catching on to the fact 😂🙌
I love watching your adventures particularly the wide open spaces, the beautiful blue seas and skies. Your blog is hugely uplifting and positive. Good parenting is good parenting whatever your circumstances and wherever you live. Your kids are so sweet together and constantly make me laugh out loud. My nest is empty but my kids (adults) come back often to check on me and now they definitely nurture me in return. Keep focused on your little family unit and encourage their relationships with friends and crew members. Your example of positivity is good for all our souls! Thank you xx
I first saw you both on your channel back when you were looking round the catamaran. It's great to see how well your both seem and that you have a little family now. I'm glad I've refound your channel!!
Looks like a “normal” household. Crazy all day and tries to settle at night-some days more successful than others. You’re doing a great job, both of you! And your helpers are, too. Alena, try forming Lenny’s hands around a pencil and and him learning to draw shapes. Letter, etc. The earlier he learns this small muscle movements, the better for schooling days. It’s so important he can get used to having those skills. 🥰 I wish someone had told me that!
Haha oh wow that bit with lenny about going to sleep had me laughing. It's cool to see how children have given you guys a new energy and sense of purpose. It's really changed my idea about having children and hope to someday. Cheers
Another amazing family video, you’re doing a great job of parenting Lenny and Darwin , they are great friends already not just brothers. You mus be immensely proud of them , forget the haters , life’s too short and it’s only jealousy, I love to see all your helpers turn into friends that’s just amazing , you’ve been very lucky in that respect. Stay safe , G 🥰
Hello lovees! You don’t need to answer to anybody! You guys are great parents, smart and safe. Always watching out for the safety of the whole crew… Especially the boys! It just warmed my heart to see Lenny at the helm! Those kids are getting the best life, the best education in the world. Real life experiences that will last them for the rest of their lives. Every time I look in the boys eyes my heart melts a little. They have the most gorgeous eyes!
You guys have no idea how much of an impact you’ve made on my life. Once I watch your video then I can’t wait for the week to pass so there’s another video. Occasionally I’ll go back and watch old videos. Just to get my fix. You guys are addicting! Anyway thank you so much. You are appreciated more than you will ever know. Sending so much love from California💜😎🤟🏻🇺🇸
Feck the trolls. Your doing a fantastic job. Love the video’s. Please keep them coming. Love your little family xx
Your is possessive. Your pet, spoon or car.
You're, however, is a contraction of the two words you and are.
You're failing 4th-grade grammar in the U.S.
Videos is plural.
The video's scenery, music, theme, soundtrack, videography, etc.
Needs a noun/object.
Thanks for the grammatical giggles, though... 🤣
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 you sad bastard
Riley you are too funny ...... and honest. My favorite line of yours, " so you can all shut up!"
A little history, I found you guys accidentally and have binge watched almost all of your videos over the past 9 Mos or so and started from the very beginning. Elayna is so charming and equally humorous. My favorite moment of hers is preparing lunch on
Vaga 1 with the boat pitching food all over the galley! Safe voyages always and much love to you all.......including your special crew members! Oh, you asked about "Q" on a video some time ago and I'm wondering what your thoughts are......I hope you've been researching! Signed, Curious! 😏🤔
Good for you guys for getting a crew and keeping everyone safe like good parents. Love the content with the kids, ours are 5, 5, & 3 and they love the magnets that your boys have they also love books with textures and windows to find things. 😊
Your babies always make my ovaries hurt 😫😍 love them.
wtf
There is no doubt you love those 2 beautiful kids. Lenny had amazing eyes, watch out for the girls when he gets older. Captain Lenny
always fun to see the little ones cracking up laughing and everyone smiling and having fun. How blessed you truly are ; )
Terrific video again 🤗👏 I'm enjoying all your travels before children and now with lenny and Darwin and THE CREW, each of them!! Riley you are a great protector!
Such a great episode!! ... Fresh, informative, sassy yet sincere, funny, family, cinematic, .... just loved it. ... PS. animation tickles all my funny bones! Brilliant and delightful. ... Santa is pleased!
Congrats Riley you're getting good on camera, you seem to be enjoying your relationship with the camera/audience
Just became a follower. Great content, Beautiful family, it takes great skill to be a sailor and keep your children engaged. Your a talented musician and mother.
You guys are awesome! Loved your videos as I had missed three in a row and binged you guys.
Thank you
I’ve checked out a few comments & I’m very impressed that we are almost all on the same page. That is to say that u2 are an awesome parents your boys are so happy & much loved be there mum & dad. Bon viage ❤️from us all🖖😎🇳🇿
You guys are great parents, and great sailors- you know your vessel and your capabilities the best. Forget the haters, you are doing what works for you and your kiddos and that’s all that matters…
Eleuthera is amazing! I’ve sailed on princess cruises a ton and have loved their beach there!!!!!
Gorgeous boys... remind me of my 2 when they were little. Love your parenting vibes 💗
Hey David, take an elastic string (rubber line) and stretch the rubber line as you tie both ends on the fishing line (close to the boat). When you release the rubber line, as it constricts, it will make the fishing line lose in that small part). Once you're fishing- when you see the rubber line is stretched out - you've got a fish! :) A cheap and easy way to tell you have cought something.
We have 2girls. Just started sailing. If the motor dies or it requires both adults to tackle the job, it's peace of mind to have another hand so glad for Reilly to speak up. I'm sure they meant no harm.
Knowing your situation and limitations is a sign of maturity and being experienced sailors. Having crew onboard to help out, especially with active young children onboard, is a very smart move. Ignore the trolls, they are more than likely to be envious of you and what you are doing. Keep up the good work and looking forward to your travels on your new trimaran.
Excellent as usual!!!
