What Not To Do on a Boat: Lesson No. 1,485 [Ep. 123]

Wow.......Josje Frida, and Manskraft !! this is a Sure treat for All us Delos Fans !!! its amazing how many years I have been following LaVaga And Delos When you guys get Close to Florida I am in the Florida Keys (Marathon ) have Dockage and Car for you guys !!!!

Loved that Vlog 😀 thank you Elayna for all your had work that goes into putting this together for us 😀

Awesome episode despite the head injury! For a LaVaga & Delos fan it was really nice to get to see Josje, Frida and "Manskraft" again! I have been following Ramatree a bit so Ive seen a bit already from Josje. Really cool when two of your favorit content creators paths is crossing! I really hope you get to meet the rest of the Delos crew some day, maybe next year in the caribbean? How about some kind of vigilance switch next time Riley will take a dip? Tie a long rope between Riley and the ignition key or reef lever (if there is one)! Cheers!

Great video but Greg Simms is right - you really ought to put on life vests and clip on when on solo night watch at least. I don't want these videos to end suddenly - they're too good...but happy new year and look forward to more adventures!

chuffed to bits seeing me star in this episode.....take care guys and happy new year

I assume you have practiced man overboard under sail and using engine and it is the first thing you teach new crew. I was tempted to mention the obligatory that that cut looks like the border in Ireland but Brexit hasn't come in yet so I won't mention it.

There are some very nice perspectives in this video from Josje (I suppose).

Would be interesting to hear Josje thought's on sailing on your CAT versus a mono hull.

Glad it turned out to be a minor nuisance as it could always be worse Riley. Mike Reno from the Band Loverboy used to wear a wide headband and Loverboy isn't the worst name to be called.....lol

Man you gotta be a little more careful having fun. I've seen you swim off the back a lot. So glad u didn't pass out. I wonder id after she was gonna glue your head back together (ha ha, sorry it sounds funny typing it) if Elayna was going to try some butterfly stitches. Now that I'm typing this it may require her to shave around the cut. OUCH! I hope your passenger was a great help. BTW, I would love to be on board and help you guys along the Maine Coast. I lived up there many years ago when I was in the US Navy and saw as many Lighthouses as I could. No some really sweet spots for you guys too. I would be happy to pay for passage. For real! Love You Guys. Can't wait for the next video! have fun at the boat show. Melinda

Jeez, that head cut looks bad, but as said could have been a lot worse. did the same recently, except it was on tarmac and I was pissed.

Happy New Year guys! I'm glad you are alright, that was a scary incident for sure.

Seeing this episode, I am wondering how often do you practice man over board under realistic conditions, like no warning in front and strong wind or/and rough see ?

Happy new year and interesting sailing adventures.

Ugh damn That sound still gets me!! 😓 happy new year guys hope y’all enjoyed aus and spending time with family !

Awesome to have two serious sailing females. Riley you are in good hands!!

Ya know.... a while ago I said that the girls like scars on a guy but JEEEEEZ

Great video. Sorry about the bump to the head. Glad you were able to gab the rope. Could have been so much worse. Bla bla bla. Keep smiling. Keep sailing. Keep on keeping on . Hope to see you on your visit to the us.

Well damn, check the stern for damage too! :) Glad that ended well for you Riley and you both had Josje onboard as backup crew. That mishap reminded me of the reason that the Coast Guard makes us do a Man Overboard drill every year in the charter boat business. Builds confidence and quick reactions. Stuff happens. No more blood Riley! So glad you guys didn't avoid Tunsia, Can't wait for the next "injury report " uhhh Episode. Happy New Year SLV

Happy New Year Riles and Elay, Riley stop injuring yourself! Josje is awesome invite her back, saw many of times her taking the Relm of Delos. Epierence sailor right there. i commented on youtube and noticed you did'nt put Josje and Frida's link in the descripiton below best get on that before it goes public or you might get some flack from the diehard Delos fans out there. Cheerios Steve

Bro....it was the Speedo. Those things are dangerous. You did look like a Kung Fu master though. So that was cool.

Yikes! Nice nick in the melon. I bet you gone remember that one for a while. Hope all is well guys. Happy New Year!

Scary moment. It takes just a little slip an everything could change in a split of a second. Relieved that everything went well and spirits up. Poor Eleyna, glueing Riley up time and again 😉 A Happy New Year to all of you and thank you for 2017 keeping the dream alive ✌️✨

Haven't watched the video yet. Just wanted to start by saying "Happy New Year"!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉

As they say no sense no feeling...but I think Riley's putting on a brave face, that must be sore,might have been safer to return to Malta in case of concussion and a hospital check up. there might have been scary complications out at sea............ too late now of course...I hope all is well. God bless,happy and a SAFE new year !

A loud thud it was ,pleased all is well if I had time I would come to see you in London and to see the war wound ,and I reckon La Vagabonde is not in the canaries .:(:(

Riles, that was a very loud "bonk!!" Maybe a concussion too, so be careful. I love you guys & want you to be safe, happy & sailing until you reach the ends of the sea. Another wonderful but a bit scary vid. You know all the best & beautiful people around the world. Keep safe, luv ya'!

Good lord be careful Riles. Fact is we learn from our mistakes. Keep jumping off but don’t whack head. Great to see Josje aboard! She does have a way of keeping Elayna smiling. Wind at your back!!! P&L

well, now it's public: jumping off the boat while underway is not save at all

Awesome episode and build up to Tunisia. Not sure if your nav already has thermal, if not check out thermal for your smartphone. It's not the same as night vision and much better. Amazing for fog navigation, nightime boat spotting/MOB, engine; coolant; electrical issues onboard.

Lucky Australian heads come with extra reinforcement ;-)

Dido to all those comments so far. Losing Riley over board through innocent fun, suddenly turned to (what could have been) tragedy. The story of many fun loving sailing voyages gone wrong. Riley, you are so lucky to have just a head gash. Other than the injury, a great adventure and great video. Thank you

Glad a third person was aboard when it happened. It might have been more scary otherwise. Glad Riley is okay. Kinda neat you crossed paths with Delos ex crew. Looking forward to your African adventure. Happy New Year !!!

Love the vid, keen to see what you find in North Africa, awesome that Elayna has the skills to operate the boat under sail as well as docking in all sorts of weather. Just goes to show how small injuries can get out of control very quickly as sea. Well done to the nursing staff for the patch up job to Reilly's noggon.

p.s Greg Simms Above Great Advice. and why - I capsized recently totally saved but the moments that happen always never see it coming - there is so little time and so in emergency what you can do - its basically what is it (on a passage) how do you survive -what do you have - where is the grab bag. There is no time there is almost anything you cannot grab - always have the essentials easy to grab always. My personal best advice - safety first - even a weather proof VHF radio in hand in the grab bag no one knows you are there. Respects Pete

Keep it real here - Mate - head injuries ... if that have cut your head tendon - left or right that would have been a game changer - serious micro stiches to hold your head up. Amazingly you got a nik very very lucky man - Your Atlas - where all your nerve endings go to your brain descend just before where you got the nick (Nicholas Cage). So barnyard teaser. You are NOT immortal. Always think of plan B - ps. love your projects and Yosh basically she is immortal - hence kewl chick of the tree of life / she is a dream catcher. (Cher) best Respects Pete

Guys, I so love your videos and want you to keep making them for a long time yet. You worry me though, especially your solo watch keeping. My greatest fear on a night sail is waking up to find a crew member missing (OK, getting hit by a freighter is a real close second!). Please consider life jackets while on watch and clipping on when outside of the cockpit after dark. Small inconvenience, but it'll keep us mums and dads happy. Just sayin'. :-)

nice comeback from a serious blow to the noggin! things turned medical for a bit there. what about sticking an ais mob in your pocket when swimming in the open water? a useful bit of kit.

Happy New Year! (Riley (Jean Claude with head bandage) hope your head is ok) Enjoying the Malta episodes...
