THE MOST EXCITING NEWS OF OUR LIVES!!!
We’re so excited you guys… Join me for the day as Riley goes spearfishing and Steffen hits the town. With the boat to myself I get into a bit of yoga, have a jam sesh and potter around the house. We've been experimenting with a (free bonus) 'daily vlog' type style for Friday's. Let us know what you think of them.
We figured you already knew this news so it wouldn't matter if we put this video up everywhere at the same time. For anyone who hasn't already heard of our exciting news, you can browse back through our older videos. We were very surprised how well we / you, all did at keeping it a secret for so long!! Nice work!! Thank you for all the well wishes, love and support sent our way. We really appreciate it.
Elay & Riles

Congratulations (again)! What a beautiful story of the first day!! I've been waiting to do this: xo xo.... XO!!!!!
Congrats! This will be the most loved baby on the 7 seas xxx
congratulations to both of you
congratulations!
Congratulations! The most exciting news ever is nothing to do with fishing- great! Can’t wait to see how it all comes together with your new family member.
You are'nt very organized......? C'mon.....you are redic....from my vantage you two seem on spot with organization.
Congratulations! Lots of love and support from New Jersey. Wish you both well in your new adventure. No matter how much you want things to stay the same with a child, everything changes. Good luck to you both managing and balancing your lifestyle (not sarcastic) and I think watching other sailors who have kids on board will help tremendously. Also please be careful as I'm sure you know it is hurricane season down there.
So excited for you guys. Life with a kid will be another adventure in your journey. Keep following your dreams and trusting your gut and everything will be fine. You're going to be wonderful parents to that tremendously lucky little one.
I’m at your boat! It looks like it’s been attacked by a gigantic vacuum cleaner! Are you guys in danger? I can call for help! Let me know if I can treat you guys to a day in South Florida! I’m all yours. Elayna, I’ve got your champagne, as promised. Riles,
Long time viewers short time patrons from Japan! We will be bareboating the BVI in August. Will you be close?? Would love to boy Riley a beer or 10. He’s gonna need it!
We’ll be leaving Fort Lauderdale Sunday July 8th at sunrise and taking a boat over to Bimini Island In the Bahamas. My husband and I would love to meet you guys , will you be anywhere near the Fort Lauderdale or Bahamas area between July 8th-15th? Congrats on the baby news too!!
I didn’t tell anyone. Raise your child the way you live now. Change as little as possible. You are good people and will make a great Mum and dad and your child will be an incredible person because of you and your lifestyle. Blue skies.
LOVED this video! Old school SLV style with E taking us through her routine. Awesomeness!!! Ps. Glad you’re sticking around Florida for baby time. Lots of resources and lots of places for baby to grow into the SLV lifestyle. So cool to watch you do it your way! You’re gonna ROCK this parenting thing!!
Congrats Again R&E's , more exciting times ahead! woohooo!
The whole Harry Potter vs Pulp Fiction? Someone got the short end of the deal. Congrats on your future crew member.
Another beautiful magical peaceful video gave me chills smiling all the way through thank you so much
Wow Elayna and Riles....Holy crapzilla...such big news...this changes the whole game. You are going to be great parents. Cant wait to see what choices you make. You'll do great any way you go...My Suggestion: Sail immediately to Australia and get mom and dad involved along with all of your Aussie friends and supporters...Second, your call...;) Cheers!!!! BTW our picture together from La Grand Mot is in the main Solon of our boat...xoxo
Nice video and congrats on the baby. I don't know if you watch them however, "Sailing Britaly," has just had a little girl. They upgraded their boat and now now that little girl is leaning how to live life on a sloop. Of course at that age, why would they care. I am sure if you wanted you could let the child grow with the world as its play ground. I wish you all the best and I am sure you will make the best parents.
Just became a patron again, where can i find the initial announcement? So exciting!
Completely thrilled for you! And what an exciting new chapter in your adventure. We know a couple who had the baby in a hospital in Penang and took him straight back to the boat, where he has lived all his life (six now! ). Boat kids are exceptional - what a life you will have together. Peace and fair winds! Liz, Jamie and Millie (our baby! 😉)
Hey thank you guys for sharing extra video. You have no idea how nice it is to see you and what you are up to apart from Monday or Tuesday posts. I really appreciate it! Hope all is well. Cheers!
congrats!! I knew it from the title!! its a boy.
Congrats again guys! Yeah for sure y'all have some big decisions ahead. But how "legend" would that be when you child becomes an adult and gets to tell people the story of being born and raised, for the first few years on a catamaran, sailing around the world with inspirational parents who happened upon living a magical life. If it were possible I would pick that start to life. Look how brave you both have had to be already. You got this!
It’s exciting to see a new chapter in La Vagabonde. This was a very nice video and I am very happy for both of you.
Congratulations!
Wow, massive congrats guys, so pleased for you both. Elayna, you looked so happy and bursting with joy. You’ll figure it out. Kids are so resilient, and being raised on a cat with such caring and life-loving parents as yourselves can only be a good thing. My wife and I will babysit anytime 😊
Thank you
You'll be tremendous parents!
So very happy for you both! The three of you are going to have the most amazing life! Beautiful song Elayna. Hugs 💞
Congrats guys! First year with the baby is a great time to sail. They sleep and feed and love the motion of the ocean. It is the second year when they start to move about that we had to give up the boat for a while.
Lots of love!!!
What a voice, Elayna! Also, Riley has the funniest laugh! We need to get a recording of just him laughing, would be epic hahaha
Great video. As I've said in the past. I work eight hour days and I'm just starting a ten hour extra shift but the videos you guy make are just a perfect little vacation in between. I watch it then I'm refreshed, de-stressed and ready to go. These little slices of paradise you show us are great. Thankyou. Your legends
Hey Elayna great bonus video ;) also loving the new cover song ‘Devil Like Me’!! Ooh more please (when you get the time)
Congrats again and love the daily vlog style and any vid you make with you singing is the best!... Picked up the new single straight away! Is the dog on the back of the guitar a childhood buddy?
Congrats!!! You guys are amazing :)
You will have to change your thumbnail to include the ring.
It's nice getting to know y'all better as life changes for you with the baby coming. Enjoy it all! It's so special.
I'm saving this video for the weekend xx Now, somehow I got a vibe from somewhere, but I couldn't pin it down to where or when. The one where Riles' is headbutting stuff, and you were balling your eyes out (hard to watch - my heart went out to you), made me wonder if there were deeper feelings than my guy is crook - more a matter of our family's future is under threat.
Congratulations again! We are so excited for y’all!
Best of luck to you three
Congratulations again to you both!👏😁
