6 Degrees of Separation [Ep. 120]
After the debacle we experienced out at sea, I decided to send everyone off to have some down time away from the boat. I intended to sail solo from Greece to Malta but that was before I met Humaid, a true gentleman and one of the most interesting guys I've come across. After some provisioning and some weather watching, we set sail for Malta which was going to be approximately 380 nautical miles.
I test out my cinematography skills for this one. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.
Cheers,
Riley

Great video as always! In Los Angeles, we play a game called "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon" I was lucky enough to be in a movie with Mr. Bacon so I'm partial to that game. : ) We hope to get to see you in Florida! You are both amazing lights in the world. Thank you for letting us all share in your adventures!
Dudes!!! Florida! Please, please, please F9 me. Great episode. Riley’s narrating is always do good. Thanks again guys!
Riley!! That was an hilarious gimmick in the beginning: Riley Tarantino Lynch..... 😂 But I must say that you made it up to that and did a catching episode💪👍🏻 Thanks a lot mate
Super video this week. Loved the music. I agree about appreciating the small things. I was forced to be single after 32 years of marriage when my partner contracted breast cancer. It’s amazing how your perspective changes when you care for someone who’s ill. It’s all about appreciating the small things in life. I’m excited for your stop over in Florida. What are the dates, I want to plan a trip to come see you?
Excellent video, great music, you guys are on your way to being international rock stars
You took a risky lane, first religion and then politics... and no Elayna! (almost... ;D) Keep up the good work!
Who was that gorgeous man pullin in the jib there at the end?? 😳 hahaha everybody get excited and cross your fingers You get picked !! Got a real genuine set of people there manning that boat so be kind and treat them right if you ever get so lucky to hop on board
Very pretty video!
Great video and loved the music and sunsets.
No offence to the other crew but how good is traveling solo. Meeting new people putting your own spin on the day. Great work Riley awesome reward after near disaster. I traveled South America for 4 months solo and met great new people everyday but when I made my destination catching up with friends and telling the stories of my adventure was the best... one of your best vids
Great job on the video Riley. I was so happy to see that all is well after the last episode. That looked a bit scary. It's a wonder there was time to shoot video. Hope rest of sail to Malta goes well.
I forgot to ask. Riley, when you are out sailing by yourself without Elayna, do you secretly sneak in and cook a piece of chicken or beef steak on Vaga? haha Also, you have been at it for years now and I am sure you got ton of footage that never makes it online. Ever thought of making a "Holiday Special" at least 30 min or just bloopers and outtakes from all the years? Everyone can use a good laugh even if it at someone expense. just a suggestion. Vlad
Hey guys, thank you for the video. Came bit late, made me think if everything is OK. Great job Riley aka Tarantino producing it. I like the change in music. Not that I did not like the previous ones. I sent you guys an e-mail about Atlantic crossing if you are looking for experienced crew while ago. I did not hear back or it went to my spam and I never seen it. If you are all set no worries. I am looking forward to meet you and to see you guys for the first time here in US. I hail/sail from Chicago. But I do go down to Carib and sail around the islands almost every year. Keep us posted when you get to Florida or Carib. It would be great to meet up and have few bruskies and hear about all your adventures in person. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, your loved ones and La Vagabonde II! Cheers...
Thank you for another great vid, Riley! You do well on your own but we all do miss Elayna! Hamid is a great individual, funny & I'm sure very thoughtful on ideas. Glad the previous vid is over. Your filming is distinguished & I'm reading & enjoying what your followers write/ Luv 'ya!
seems like a cool dude to spend some time with.... Elayna is way better lookin' though.... just sayin' :-).... nice job on the filming and editing, and just think.... 3 years ago you didn't want anything to do with videoing.... look how far you've come
Great job editing Riley. I have to ask, have you caught any fish at all in the Mediterranean? I see you fishing all the time but never see any fish? You are guys are going to love the diving and fishing in the Florida Keys. Lots of dorado and wahoo in April/May and tons if snapper and grouper.
Yeah this is Pro here Riley, top editing all around. its got nothing on the Greyhound video work tho :) wait,, haha Love the invite of Hamid! Timing is everything. love watching Lavaga II glide over the water.
Well done Riley, really enjoyed this episode Humaid seems like a top bloke.
Would be great to meet you both in Florida next year we will be there March/April we hope this is when you will be there 😀
No way Richard - the Bilgy episode was the best ever!
Way, Way better than the Bilgy episode.
Love these singlehanded sail videos, Riley. Content is outstanding every time, and there's never a shortage of surprises or adventure. Keep up the great work!
Awesome Riles, on every on every level!! Hamid is way cool - super chill and intelligent. Man I wish I could have been a fly on the wall for your discussions on religion and politics. And who caught the biggest fish? I also wish I could make the London Boat Show. I’ll be paying close attention for details on the Florida hook up. I’ll bring my Riffe with me for sure. Also I live in San Francisco but I’m from N.Y. - would love to catch you guys in Manhattan and show you my little island. And join you on a sail to Montauk. Best to Elayna and Daniel. Wind at your back. P& L - Matt
Nice job Riley love ya work. As a vessel master I can relate also that yes it can be a bit consuming keeping the boat running constantly and yep you got to appreciate those special moments that you never want to take for granted. Hope you don't get belted looking at the forecast!
Awesome music choice in this one. Would be awesome hearing it more often ;)
Well done, Ritchie Tarantino, well done...
Was crossing every finger I have when that name was called out...
Riley, whether it's learning about sailing or learning about filmmaking, you're a fantastic student, and it's awesome how you are sharing these journeys with us. Smooth sailing, mate!
Wow Riley I really enjoyed watching this episode. Great job.
This video made me smile so much :) It's amazing how many people you meet with interesting stories when you travel. Way more than when you stay in your confort zone. Have a blast on your journey to Malta! B.
Well done Mr. Riley! Tempo, energy and laughs. Paatin, rofl. Funny guy.
Riley, great job with the video, production, and story telling, you have skills!
