La Vaga’s Home for Repairs. Shakedown Cruise COMPLETE [Ep. 102]

Woohoo! Very uplifting episode. Xx

On behalf of the bird, thank you.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Riles your gonna have to learn to service your engines upside down, most cats are the same very small engine rooms. Really impressed with how well Outremer have looked after your boat, sensational service

Those engines look intimidating. You mentioned filters and oil changes, what about zincs?

Best part...6:38 - 6:51 when Elayna dominates backing into the slip. Perfect. Like a pro now.

Love watching a bit of footy at brekky. I enjoy the chats/debates on the ethics of fishing and ocean lifestyle. Also, the timelapses in this ep are spiffy. Good stuff.

Great video. You guys make it look easy. Good on ya!

Best part of the episode was the bird rescue! Good on you Daniel and Elay for that. Mother nature will pay it forward to you someday soon. Loved the maintenence stuff, reminded me of LV1 now break some more stuff you guys then fix it, its good TV :) R&E is like its exspensive Steve when we break stuff!!! aahhh still fun to watch :)

i love watching you guys evolve and grow into this new life. how amazing for you to look back in the future. Riley your conscience can be clear catching fish to eat. fish local, eat what you catch, buy fruit and veg local and you are doing well. i would be more concerned buying fish from a supermarket considering the damage caused to get it to the freezer. avoid careless corporations and the planet will thank you.

I'm so glad this was the episode where I finally became a patron. One of my favourites to date. If I may; I think the reason for much recent (and unfair) criticism has stemmed from people feeling the old episodes were more relatable. That almost anyone could picture themselves scrounging up just enough for the old La Vaga and sailing away to a dream. I doubt many can make the leap to envision themselves making the success the two of you have. That's hardly your fault. So now we also get the pushback on sponsorship Riley expounded upon in a previous episode. Id' just say, if it's a product you believe in; if it helps support this wonderful channel being free for the entire world to view and draw inspiration from...then just do it. It may inform us, but more importantly it supports you...and in so doing, inspires us all.

Enjoyed that one alot guys! I once had to dock a house boat in high winds in a similarly tight space. In the dark, no help from shore, freaking out! Only minor to moderate damage in the end (Houseboats handle like a pig on skates!). So no worries, Elayna, you did great! Cheers!

Well, I did it again in trying to fix my spelling & stuff, hit return too soon, Please forgive. Luv ya'!

Just another great vid! Hope you learned a lot from the experts, not that you guys are not expert at this point in your sailing life. Watyching tonight at 17 past midnight on thr East coast of the US. Got home from work a few minutes ago & am now fuly relaxed s always get watch ig 2 guys sail around a bit. Luv' ya!

"Onya guys" Did I perceive a little tenseness on board while back at headquarters? You're doin fine. Nice to see the reversing process now under control. lol

Hey guys, can you double check song info in Ep 100, for Windspiel - Un D’a SoSado. Nothing is coming up in a search...love the song and keen to hear more of their gear. Muchos xx

Noice.

Well done again. Cheers!

Hey guys, thank you for the vid. I have a question about your upcoming next ocean crossing. Can I e-mail it to you directly?

Another good one guys-keep em coming!

Another great video! Thanks! Would love to see you cover some more subjects "in depth"! As fun as the overviews are - I would love to get more details about just about everything - but especially the boat itself and what she is like to sail. I'm a geek - things like sheeting angles and pointing angles and wind ranges and - well everything are all interesting! :-D

Great video guys. Liked it. Oh yeah, Riles, ages ago you didn't have tools and were waiting for advice on what to get then head off to a Bunnings (well maybe not Bunnings, but). I did ask a while ago about that but, and now since you've done your shakedown cruise service --- did you get the list, I rekon it'd make a good video. :)

Fantastic you guys! Awaiting the next adventure!

Since LaVaga was built without air conditioning, have you thought about a portable (roll around) unit that runs on 110v ac?

Thank you! One of your best vids yet.Riley,the great Diesel mechanic and bird Savior. Big smile to you all, looking forward to the next video. ;~}
