The Bimini Shuffle back to the Bahamas! [Ep.167]
Hey amazing people!
We've managed to get another episode out for you this week! Happy days as we leave sight of the city, for a long while. Although, it was quite sad saying goodbye to our new friends from Just Catamarans and some old ones we'd met in Colombia in 2016. Join us for the Bimini Shuffle over to the Bahamas. The wind and current makes it quite difficult for us to get across the Gulf Stream but La Vagabonde eventually gets us there, like she always does.
We would love to go LIVE here on Patreon later next week but we'll send you another update soon on when that might be. Thank you to everyone who sent a video. We're looking forward to watching them over the next few weeks.
Have a great weekend!
Love Elay & Riles

You guy's are so at home on the water, understandably so since you've been sailing for a few years now.
Hi Elayna and Riley! Firstly, I like your impression of the Evergaldes Florida cracker accent! Well done! You will love to know that my kids do you on the regular! "We've got eighdeen knots of wind!" Ha ha! I am glad to hear you felt at home in Fort Lauderdale and that you may come back that way eventually. Now I am going to be honest and say my kids and I were sad you guys didnt mention the big meet-up at Coconut Grove in June! Dude! We were hoping you would at least mention it as it was super special to meet you! We felt so lucky and just over the moon at how lovely you two are! Ok, enough fussing! We just kept waiting for the videos to catch up with that point in time...sniff. But on a funny note, you will laugh but my 10 yr old son looks SO much like Stephane!!! Its crazy! When he returned to the boat my family said, "Lucien's back!" They should meet! Ha ha! Ok - signing off and enjoying your art so much. xo Aimee
(New Patron Alert!) I was initially drawn to watch your vids based on your genuine love of the sea (ocean). Now after watching a number of episodes, I'm very impressed and appreciative of how you both are living life on your terms and creating such a positive example. Keep up the great work and looking forward to being all caught up on the episodes.
Can’t wait till you arrive in Brisbane one day. For a beer wine and catch-up
Good to be Sailing.
Incredible! You guys really raised the stakes with this one!!! I think you’ll be getting a lot of newcomers with this!! Awesome shots of the boat, wide angles and more sailing...also you amped up the dialogue (it seems) which was great too! THIS is what Sailing La Vagabonde is all about! Hats off to ya! Also Riley, I’m always impressed with how much you know about the mechanics of the engine (definitely a 7th sense) “you’re a wizard mate” and you’re tediously clean compartments- good on ya bro! Just thought I would commend you guys for doing such an excellent job. Sailing a boat full time plus all the videos and editing is a lot of work! I’ve recently been learning about editing and it can be overwhelming and time consuming. Elayna‘s a Master! Love watching you guys as always! Thank you!!! Xoxo
do your impellers together, do port then as a matter of course do stbd.
I'm back as a Patron after an extended budget fueled hiatus, albeit only in a limited way. Sure, I've watched all the videos. But being a Patron is like being part of a family. I've missed that. Anyway, thanks for another enjoyable video. Like Mr. Brown said earlier, I love it when you raise the sails and kill the engines!
This was an excellent video. Thanks for 2 in one week.
Funny I had banned sailor Jerry’s from my boat after a few dramas 😂😂 looks like I will have to get another bottle
It's astounding to me how much I feel like I know you and we're the best of friends, and then I remember you literally have NO IDEA who I am. Thank you both for what you do for me each and every week. Really.
I think the same thing sometimes, haha- it’s bizarre! Very thoughtful comment!
I love watching u guys sail, the sights & sounds are so relaxing. True, knowing ur boat makes some maintenance routine, just lke a car or bike. Best to u3. Keep sailing, stat happy, healthy. Luv 'ya!
Ina May! good to see. My wife's favorite. We also had an at home water birth with a midwife and it was excellent.
Also, when maneuvering around in the Bahamas' skinny water do it with your boards partially down; a few inches below rudder depth. If you do bump it is much better to stop with the boards than with the rudder post.
Usually the Golf Stream is good for fishing. Did you put in a line this time?
Its beautiful to here the excitement in your voices when you are ready to deport from dock-age to ssaaiill and sail.... Stefan, great to see that smile for the camera, hope it didn't hurt too much
As always great video..!
Good to see some sailing shenanigans going down again😃
It has been fun watching you be our neighbor. We know when the YouTube folks are here they are busy. If the five or six families on the dock getting ready to hop across to the Bahamas are any indication you sure are very busy. RAF, Colt and the folks at Just Cats are good folks. They have been very good partners on our major refit. Even if shhhh we have a monohull.
Riley ur a funny guy!! And both of u possibly the nicest humans on this planet! All the best in oz guys!
One on the BEST videos yet. Thank You for the extreme detail to all the ins and outs of your daily living. It must take a long time to edit all the bits of video. The precision that you put into this tells me you really care about us Patreon people who are tagging along in your life on a second hand basis.
Love these extra episodes, thank you guys ! ''The Bimini Shuffle'' by the way would be a nice name for a dance move , and we Elayna know that you love dancing :) Cheers !
Thank you for the extra episode! Always a nice surprise. Now I just have to get to making my vid for you so you can see my home town. Coming soon ... Cheers!
Sounds good Vlad!
Good times back at sea! Nothing like it when you raise the sails and kill the engines!
Absolutely Dan, you know what I’m talkin about
8:50 Sailor Jerry Jug on the table! My favorite rum! When can I visit? (I own and run a marine electronics company in the pacific northwest).
Why does Riley wear undies on his head? I love how every Sailing YouTube channel couple has to go to just catamarans and drive the Wynn’s old smart car, it must be some right of passage or something, that sure is a famous smart car now, I think it would go for a lot of money on eBay.
Hopefully they’ll get enough money for it to buy a Tesla 😄
I had hopes that the MIA meetup party would make it in here somewhere :-(
Miss you guys! One day I’d like to host you on our pontoon and/or have you sail with us!
Hopefully we’ll get La Vagabonde back to Australia one day Craig
Woo hoo. First comment! Suppose I should watch the video now!! LOL
👌
