Hospital in Bahamas, now he can't swim! Ep.156
We pay a visit to the hospital to stitch Riley back up after he fell down a hatch, immediately after running our boat aground.
The Turks and Caicos is considered world class diving and now Riley isn't allowed to swim for at least a week. It's going to kill the poor boy. Join us and our Australian family as we set off to explore what these pristine islands have to offer 🌊⛵️🌞.
Hope you enjoy the episode!

Waaaaat veggie sausage rolls?! Elayna can you please share the recipe?!
Hi Riley, so good to see your dad back on-board. I feel as Anthony is family since I consider you and Elay as part of my family. Such a great episode and glad that you guys had a doctor treat the leg, ouch...
cheers Robert! Yeah, dad loves being on board but he's certainly injury prone and I think it's contagious :)
Hi you two! We are all still so excited that we got a chance to meet you in Miami and can hardly believe this wonderful summer is over! After that evening with you in Coconut Grove we headed to my in-laws place in Fort Myers on the Gulf of Mexico side of the state. On the way home to my parents up in St Augustine we passed through Fort Lauderdale hoping to spot La Vagabonde at a marina! We were close but no luck!! Ha ha! I now see on your instagram where you were!! Good vibes and all best for bébé coming soon! Aimee and family
Hey Aimee, I too was at the Coconut Grove and was the one that asked them if we were going to see La Vaga. I caught a glimpse of the boat when they first sailed pass Fort Lauderdale and was disappointed not to get a chance to walk on-board the boat. Just hoping to get a chance to be picked to come on-board and live on La Vaga. I would love Riley to teach me to free dive. If you are reading this Riley, please pick me soon. Thanks in advance.
Greetings from Naples Florida Elayna and Riley. Have you ever considered stocking your first aid kit with a scalpel and various sizes of sutures? They are great to have on board for emergencies. One day you may save someone’s life. Ciao my friends. Frank
Great episode, glad your leg is ok. Love you guys :)
Awesome stuff!! Riley, I don't know how but I missed your email a couple of months ago when you responded to email that I sent you.. I for some reason just now saw it like a week ago. I must have somehow acknowledged it without realizing it was your response. But it did make my day seeing that you did respond and with good news! I really appreciate it and I wish I saw it and got the chance to meet yal! But thanks again and thanks for the awesome things that yal keep doing! Love everything!
Happy to be a patron now...YES!!. Binged watched the first 100 episodes then sorta semi binged up to 145 in 12 weeks so felt rather lost once i caught up :) so to get the next episode asap .

Cheers Graham! Great to have you on board, happy to hear you've enjoyed them. I'm originally from Cowell, South Australia but yeah, I lived in Adelaide for 10 or so years. We lost the F1 Grand Prix in the 90's but we gained the V8 Super cars. Good on ya mate!
We are Emanuel and Denisa, from Romania. We love to watch your videos and we appreciate your courage to live that kind of life ! We are wondering if there’s an address for us to send you a gift. We are looking forward to hear from you 😊 Keep up the good work and be safe. God bless you !
cheers Emanuel! Logistics to receive packages is a nightmare unfortunately but appreciate the generous offer.
Hey Guys!
I don't know what it was about this episode, but it was great fun. Take care of that shin, Riley! Painful spot. My wife still has a scar from her version.
Elayna have you considered this for Riley? <a href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51zKCFuPkFL.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51zKCFuPkFL.jpg</a>
haha! yes or this: <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IpgYZetfs84/U9riEjpbA2I/AAAAAAAAAsI/nXP_BuTr6kA/s1600/bubble+person+2.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IpgYZetfs84/U9riEjpbA2I/AAAAAAAAAsI/nXP_BuTr6kA/s1600/bubble+person+2.jpg</a>
Great episode you two!
great video, even without the drone footage, Riles might be captain but he knows his place in the world hahahahahaha
Between stepping on urchins and diving face first into coral, I can relate to taking care of wounds in the tropics! You do NOT want jungle rot! On a lighter note: Can you believe the color of the water in that video!
beautiful isn't it!
Think the guy at that mooring needs to get a clue before some one sues him . Elayna i think you need to learn how to do stitches ,it will save you a bunch of cash .i needed some in Antigua and they wanted $1200 so i went to the chemist and did it myself. great video as always
Great vid with beautiful blue waters! Perhaps I got lost on the sequencing, but was the hospital in T&C or the Bahamas?
That water color is amazing! 😊 Can’t wait to see the adventures with the senior crew onboard! Take care of your leg Riley 💪
I’ll be on a chartered cat in the Exumas all next week! I’ll keep my eyes pealed to catch a glimpse of La Vaga in person! Another great video keep it up!
Another lovely story. Glad the 'grounding' didn't do any harm. Riley, proper care of that shin wound in the tropics; is very important. As you may know, it is poor circulation there and takes longer to heal. Hence the risk of long term wounds ect. (In our early days, Wifey an I were Nursing way up on the Sepik River of PNG. We treated so many ulcers that were a nightmare for the locals). Take care.
Thanks Glenn, happy to advise the wound is healing nicely.
Awesome video guys. Riley, your dad is ripped!! Good genetics. You guys are an inspiration...truly. Heal up and get back in that beautiful water.
Hi guys, yet another awesome video. I hope your leg gets better quick Riley, must be frustrating being out of action. One thing that keeps bugging me is, why don't yatchs have a camera up the mast, you'd see the channels and bombies so easily and potentially avoid a very expensive day out?? Is it a thing on other yatchs? Anyway, keep up the good work, such great entertainment. PK
Hi guys, yet another awesome video. I hope your leg gets better quick Riley....must be frustrating to be out of action.
Thank you.
Great video guys thank you! Riley be careful the word is that Elyna is only learning how to amputate not stitch. :)
Hey guys that water looks incredible I’ve only ever seen waters like that in Formentera ! Loving the vibes on board sorry about your leg Riley. We counting down the days for our trip up to Seychelles in December. Diving and grrst
awesome crew on this video. thx
What a gr8 vid! I felt like I was there with y'all sailing, working, & having a swim! Wonderful to see friends aboard & u2 r the best hosts. The leg looked a bit bloody but stitched up good as new. Happy sailing from my desk here in Myrtle Beach! Loved the music & the water looks booloo blue. Luv 'ya!
"Elayna, you need to learn how to do this" Ha Ha! With or without anesthetic?
OMGOSH!! We need more videos every week, especially like these! Love this one with the family. They are so kind, so help and cook an honest meal. I promise if I’m ever on board, I’ll cook (Vegan), clean the boat, do laundry and errands. Seems when you’re Solo this would be much help and I’m a hospitable person, lol. Anyway, I know you guys work so hard and are tired as well, if you need a break don’t forget to take some quiet time for yourselves and relax (take a sabbatical from videos). Don’t lose your spirit, hang in there Mates! <3
Great to meet your dad Riley!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I wish you could have met these two in the Turks. They were the first to get me interested in these kinds of blogs way back in 2007. <a href="http://2gringos.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://2gringos.blogspot.com/</a> Byron is a very witty writer from Texas, not far from my home stomping grounds. I'm not sure where they are now. His blog covers the Turks pretty well with a good bit of humor.
Hey SLV team, glad to see new crew onboard. Should be fun to see next few episodes. Hope Riley recovered quick for some freediving. Funny thing, I sliced bottom of my foot falling into an open anchor hatch arriving/docking to English Harbor in Antigua bit more than year ago. It bleeds a lot and hurt too walking on it all day. I was not a happy camper so I can feel Riley's pain/frustration. Thank you for the video and updates as always. Have fun!
Don't wimp out Reley. HAHA, just kidding. Cuts like that could prove fatal due to infestation. Good on ya' mates. Capt.Rick
Dad’s back 👍
Awesome video...!! Thanks team 👍👌
Looking forward to rest of the Turks & Caicos. Don’t know if I’ll ever get there so keep them coming! Awesome! I’m concerned that I’m getting lackadaisical about Riley’s injuries! Still concerned! But lackadaisical....LOL!
Nice video. You guys are always an adventure. It was good to see Tony again. Thank You.
Glad to see the leg is not too badly hurt Riley! Take care.
I so look forward to the Tuesday email letting me know another video is ready!
Great episode, hope your leg heels up quick.
Great video as always. Glad your stitched up riley! Elayna take care of him. 😊 until next time. Much love from cali
Never trust a sailor without a few scars! Get better soon Riley!
Whoop! Weekly dose has arrived...
