The Atlantic Crossing (Sailing La Vagabonde) - Part 1

Three cheers for Alfred the fishing lure, and salute to the mahi-mahi / dolphinfish that managed to escape. :-( Well done all! :-)

Been following you guys for a few months now, first on Youtube and lately here on Patreon as well. I would like to say thanks for the steady flow of videos, and it's nice to see that the production is getting better each time. I would however also like to echo what many of the commenters on Youtube have said regarding safety: You really, really should wear harnesses when clambering around the bathing platform like that, especially during a long crossing where there is no help nearby. Being able to turn the boat around and find a person on the open ocean is easier said than done. And a person who falls overboard without as much as a life vest would struggle to tread water long enough to be found. I realise you are all adults and can take calculated risks. But I would argue the fish escaping after coming aboard the boat -- and the way Elayna "steadied" herself by holding what seems like the fishing line in one hand and the gaff in the other -- shows that you weren't quite as in command of the situation as it might have seemed at the time. We all learn from experiences, but losing a crew member is an experience I think we'll all agree that you should avoid. Fair winds!

Riley ace of spies, Elayna & Jack 'little Boss ' Karger , Thank you all ,for the humorous, Laid back and entertaining travel blog. I am currently restricted to the house for a while and your videos are allowing me to,' get outside'. 'Suggestion' , you've already found out that Mahi Mahi go off like a frog in a sock when you get them on the boat, get yourselves a Head Spike. Cheers Chris Fox
