A Race in the Rain to pick up our Lucky Patrons [Ep. 108]
Riley always talks about how the only thing that should be dictating your sailing plans, are the weather and repairs. When you have a schedule to keep, more often that not, things just don’t like to run smoothly. We would have loved to hang out in Bonifacio and wait for the rain to stop, probably rug up inside and watch a few movies. But no, join us for soggy clothes and wet hair on our way down to Sardinia. However, we’re extremely excited to meet James and Destiny and to show them what it’s all about!!
Hope you enjoy! Thank you for watching!

9.26 Is that Dr Hook you're singing?
More video love: great job guys! :-) I can't believe how beautiful Corsica is! Thanks for the great views including the gorgeous overhead footage! xo
I did !! watch the grotty video -
I guess we were one of the patrons who missed ep 99. We must have been swamped. Watched it now. thanks for the heads up on those stats. LOL
I figured out how to watch Ep. 108. Guess I am not as techie as I thought I was. Love your episodes. Sorry if I was a bother.
Jeez that was an expensive marina,great video, thanks.
Bonifacio may be the most interesting place you've visited yet. What a harbor? And what a price? I'd say well worth it for an overnight stay, but a couple days would also be nice. You do seem to be keeping up a hectic schedule, but perhaps in reality it's not that bad. Either way I'm not about to start feeling sorry for you. Looking forward to the next port of call.
I challenge you Riley to a race around the world on trimaran's 2022. I have only done one 7 day ocean sail but hope by 2020 I will have the money and experience to start preparing. If you choose to except this challenge we can discuss race rules..... I'll give you 1 year to consider..... arrrh
Horns....hahaha. She had no idea. Good one R.
Wonderful episode and music! We were soooo blessed and lucky to be invited aboard. Riley, Elayna and Daniel were very chill and down to earth. Had some pretty awesome sailing (15+ knots I think) and Riley and Elayna just let us relax whenever we wanted. Not sure if you’ll see this, but thank you Riley for answering my many questions about sailing, I learned a lot in a few days and had a great time. Still wish we could have gone aboard the original La Vagabonde as I will never be able to afford a catamaran but it’s the same ocean and amazing places to visit. To all the patrons, if you get the chance, just go : )
Cheers mate! Pleasure to have you both on board!
I can not belive that at Bonifacio was raining
You guys seem to get pretty wet while at the helm in a blow. Any way to get some shelter there to keep out of the weather?
Great video!! Look forward to Mondays!
Thank you guys so much for this video! Bonafacio certainly was a beautiful and facinating place. And thanks again for ALL your videos. I'm sure there are times when you just don't feel like working on them, but you get them finished anyway. I watched and enjoyed "Grotty Yachties" , episode 99. I was like #153. It must be a sign of success when you're disappointed because "nobody" has watched one of your videos that has 150,000 views and 8,000 likes. I wonder how many views it had before you posted the link in this video. Love to all!
Sorry to hear you were charged that much docking in town.... should mentioned to moor outside, in the small cove just facing old town, it's 20 euros a night. But you will find éven more expensive in NE Spain !
That's what I did when sailing to Bonifacio. So many good memories there!
Bonifacio looked so enchanting! You'll have to return some day.
Made some funny faces there elay whilst at the computer editing, fun fun. gosh love that walk amongst that town you guys, love that about the vids. Just take us with you, and you do. As always cheers for that. Capn
I watched the grotty yachties it was awesome shame on the rest of them love you guys keep having fun
watched it all ready, like most of our mates when we were living aboard. Still looking at getting a slightly smaller, like 6 meters smaller sailing cat, be back aboard soon !!!
That place goes back to the eight century!!!!! The Mediterranean and the history and the sailing and the catamaran!!! Go, Go, Go!! Absolutely amazing. Thank you for thanking us and taking us along.
Pleasure Harold! Thanks mate
Thanks for the great video Guys! Looks like I am going to have to add Bonifacio and the castle to my bucket list! I know you were pressed for time, but I would have loved more footage of the castle.
Yeah, us too Kevin
A joy to watch again, however Dear Riley, reverting back to the safety thing and accepting your personal concept of freedom of movement on the boat, I remain curious though as to perhaps your guests in rough water. Also in another episode the prospect of MOB drill and practice remained unanswered. Please consider the sailing term "hove" or "hove to" or "Heave" in this matter. Friendly comments here fellas. Over to you. Luv u all.
For sure Ken, I think I might need to readdress my last video. I don't think I explained myself very well.
I'm sitting in a Starbucks in Kuala Lumpur airport after being forced to miss my flight last night and overcharged and extra charged for everything on my way from Kathmandu to Wellington NZt. I woke this morning from my little airport nest to find this new video. Its always ajoy seeing you guys. Nice that all three of you were from in this one. Thank you for keeping my spirits hi and letting me live the dream alongside you guys. Cheers in good on you.
Sorry to hear about your flight dramas Rhys! Glad to hear we've helped in some way. You'll have to get the boat next time :)
Great video as always.
Thanks Darrell!
First? ;-)
Nice work Jimmy!
