Our Floating Home in Mallorca [Ep. 92]
We’d completed our first sail in La Vagabonde, about 230nm from La Grande Motte to the Balearic Islands - Spain! The last time we were in Mallorca was in 2014, when we arrived with a broken rudder. We spent weeks working with Gregor (do you guys remember this legend from early on in the videos?) and his mate who was a welder, but also had claustrophobia so he couldn’t actually come down below to do all the measurements himself… so instead he stood outside while Riley climbed into the dark hole, about the size of a mouses house and yelled out the measurements to him. We didn’t have time or energy to explore the island, so it’s good to be back again with a whole different set of circumstances. It’s Rileys birthday!!! Videos made by Elayna and Daniel (starring Riley) xo
Videos made possible because of YOU :) xo

Congratulations on your new home! I'm very happy for you and wish you wonderful adventures on sea and land!
Best episode yet! Congratulations to both of you. So Good!
Glad you guys are back on the water. FYI, I bought a Cyclades in the BVIs and I'm loving it; but I think my wife would rather have a cat. So I'll be paying particular attention to your new 'cat' experiences especially when you cross. Fair winds.
So glad I have become a patron at long last awesome video I'm in love with the new Vaga
wow, the best shakedown cruise ever with a birthday thrown in for good measure, how nice are crisp new sails, jut beautiful, notice the growth on your legs and props already, there's a new silicone rubber based product that the stink boaters use, works really well on bronze too. Outremer's are known for their windward ability, great to be able to uphill as well.
the drone shots from above are just beautiful!! (that port, OMG)
Ha! "Like" # 69 ! Yeah baby! But seriously, Wow, just wow. Makes me happy to see you so happy!
Riley, you won the lottery when you met Elayna. And you both won the lottery when Outrider met YOU. Wishing you both the best times ever.
This epi and the one before is so great, back to the essenciel basic, that we all love about your journey!
It was Puerto de Soller!! I love that place! Only spent one day there myself but it is one of the most beautiful places I have been too. Congratulations to both of you and by the way youre welcome! 😉 Now we (the patreon family) is waiting for the invitations to start 😜. Cheers!
I love seeing both of you two being able to interact more now that you have someone running the camera, and I'm also glad that he isn't always hidden behind the camera.
I know, I got sick of always being that voice behind the camera haha. It's great Daniel is able to capture more moments of us together. He's been absolutely awesome to have onboard and really loves sailing which is the best part.
Congratulations and enjoy I can't wait to see the world again on la vaga 2. Happy Birthday Riley
Congratulations on new Freedom! Woody for a dicky?! Classic!
I can honestly say that seeing you two so happy makes me genuinely happy. All of this couldn't have happened to a nicer and more deserving couple and I sincerely admire that you are so humble and thankful about it all. I can't wait to see lots more actual sailing footage of this beautiful boat so get your cameras rolling!! Cheers! :)
oh wow thanks a lot Ian, we feel very lucky to be surrounded by such a wonderful bunch of humans. Lots of sailing to come ;) Cheers, Elayna
see you out there x
Big hugs to you both - glad you had the best week ever and hoping it gets better - your v-logs are inspirational and uplifting so keep it up and maybe one day.......
Sooo good! Love the new super chilled vibes of the video. Wish you all the best with your new pearl of a boat
Congratulations and thank heavens you finally got back to that incredible boat. I couldn't wait for you to get back to start your next journey. I've been dying to hear your first impressions once you got out cruising and Elayna said it perfectly...."I'm so excited to go sailing again" It couldn't have happened to two more deserving people, the universe lined you up with Outremer and all of your hard work sharing your lives with the rest of us on Youtube has been rewarded. So Happy Birthday Riley and to both of you welcome to the warm family of Multihull aficionados. Fabulous work on this video too, I love the extra drone footage and the scenics of sunset harbours, that's what cruising memories are painted in but in truth it's always been about the people along the way for us. Keep up your lovely work and we'll see you on the water.
Killer episode! The quality of your videos keeps getting better and better; looks like the addition of Daniel to the video production is already paying off. The Outremer looks like she sails beautifully. You guys thinking about coming over to the States at all? Maybe a run down the east coast including the Chesapeake Bay with a stopover in Annapolis? Give it some thought. -Jon
Just a wonderful view we get from your travels. It's stormy here in Myrtle Beach SC, but watching you two makes my day. I'm sure you will continue to hve a fbulous life onboard! Love you both.
Bloody awesome mate, all I can say, er, no, yer livin the dream for us all!
There is not a person here that doesn't think you guys deserve that beautiful cat. You guys must be thinking "I can't believe it, what did we do to deserve this?" You guys are amazing entertainers but most importantly and this is what I think the good people at Outremer saw in you as well. That you guys can inspire people. You've certainly inspired me. We're all thanking you guys as much as you're thanking us! P.S. At the risk of destroying your drone, I still think you could have flown through that hole!! (As long as the wind wasn't too bad) Haha you guys didn't get here by playing it safe. -Keep the dream alive, Logan
Brad the credits for music are in the top of the discussion . just click on "show more " just beliw the publication date under the video
I'm liking the music. Do you guys post music credit somewhere? I'd love to download some songs from your videos.
I love how you both still seem to have no words to truly describe how greatful you both feel. Safe sailing xx
Mates I am so happy to see you guys enjoying life and adventures. I am living those a little bit through you. I hope to have the opportunity to live some sailing adventures myself soon. Keep going and doing what you do!!!
You guys make me tear up every time! Sending you lots of love and gratitude. I hope one day I will wave you from my boat and tell you that I watch your videos!
Legends! Great video, so cool to see you settling in and enjoying your new ride :)
Love the Boat, love the music, love the scenery, love the editing!! good stuff guys!! Im an aussie living in Dubai and everytime I watch it reminds me of the Aussie spirit and reminds me of where I came from. Thanks guys P.S Ur mate Oakey is a very funny guy!!
Thank you for staying so humble and for inspiring so many people to follow their sailing dreams. I hope one day you come through Singapore and join us for the Neptune regatta (a race to zero). HBD!
You get what you give. Thanks to you two for the inspiration and good vibes. That was an awesome episode. The dream becomes reality!
So glad to see you sailing and thanks for the thanks, I love to see your faces when you talk about the new boat and i feel good to know I do help in a very small way. Your very deserving and work hard for your rewards. If you ever get to the west coast of northern California, dinner is on me. Best wishes and stay safe. <3
I'm sure that you know how wonderful your life is compared to us mortal people. You both make me so happy and complete when I see each episode but none better than this new adventure. Keep it up and and think of us way down here on earth - enjoy more and more as life is short.
i think visually this is my favourite episode so far. The drone shots are amazing!
Sending you sweet humans all the love. Can't wait to get our boat and float along with you! Safe sailing!
Just want to say great music great scenery and great people🇺🇸
you must be a friend of the camera man ;)
You guys both seem sooooo happy with the new boat.....she's an absolute beaut. I'm sure you'll continue to pinch yourselves many more times before it sinks in. You both totally deserve it, and we all wish you fair winds on your new spacious and more stable adventure machine :-)
Yep that last send off was lovely guys, I could feel the gratitude and joy of the week. The Movie making up to that point was literally cinematic and I did'nt want it to end. Daniel that Sunset framing half way through was a lovely composition, I said No WAY when that popped up! Timed arriving in that area of the world just right for that one for sure. & Happy Belated Birthday Riles & Was great to hear the song Dreaming again as I said last week with those old SLV songs familiarity combined with awesome new footage = Win! Solid solid production of Fun and a sail. Cheers Steve
It makes ME grin when another boat passes you and says "It's Sailing LaVagabonde!" What a grin. BTW there is NO reason that this will ever end!
Wonderful to see you both recognize the blessing you have received, I hope you have great voyages
It makes me happy that you're both happy. Thank you for this little escape from real life.....
By the way; get over it. You had a dream and did what you had to do to make it happen. Some of us just piled on for the ride. I expect great things from you, let me live a life on the cat which I will never experience for myself. By the way did you hook up the water powered generator?
Thank you for letting me into your life and home, all the kind words you say shoot off into space and right into my room, where I sit watching you, as dreams run wild waiting to come true, because, anything else I have no time for that wants to pull me below. But your words are true and La Vagabonde is part of me too., so now it's my turn as I shoot the Love back to space and right back to you! Right back to you................
Thank you for letting us live your adventure with you...
Happy belated birthday Riles! Quick question. Is the canvas bimini over the helmsman seats adequete? It seems you are a bit exposed, especially during inclement weather and the beating sun. Could we get a better glimpse of that area? Cheers, and can't wait for you guys to get this way!
Loved your gracious ending. It's obvious that you are grateful for all your many blessings and for your wonderful "followers"..... Good on ya'...
You guys have earned all that you have! You have graciously let us into your lives and let us enjoy something I could never personally have done but always wanted to to do! Thank you! Post as much as you can even if it's just when your out sailing, no video is boring at the moment because we can't get enough of your new boat either!!! Good sailing!
happy birthday mate
Happy Birthday.
Please invite me Cindy and I to join you guys for a sail! :)
