We Found a Baby Lemon Shark! Ep. 170
Of course Riley was game enough to pick up a baby lemon shark darting around in the shallow waters of the Bahamas 😱 not for me, no matter how cute it was! Join us as we repair sails, take you for a tour through the Bimini Shark Lab, get declined from stepping foot on a private island, before making our way into the wild blue wonder.
Oh and if anyone is thinking of visiting the Bimini Shark Lab, it's pretty cool and the team are legends. More info on them here: http://bit.ly/BiminiSharklab
Keep an eye out for our post this week to advise of our date/time for our LIVE chat to catch up with everyone. Only a couple of weeks now until our little man is due to meet the world. I'd say we're as ready as we're ever going to be :)
Much love,
Elay & Riles

Nice song at the close there.
Heartbreaking lyrics:- 'The things in my room'.
Update: I asked a friend out of curiosity... they don't allow transients anymore because in the spring some guys came in for a night and stole stuff, apparently including a golf cart... Imagine you guys loading a golf cart onto Vaga 😂Ruined it for everyone I guess.
bastards!
I used to teach youth sailing on Cat Cay... would've loved to see you Samuel Jackson the dockmaster Elayna, or put Riley on with them... or even better, just dinghy in like you owned the place! LOL
love the old school tunes!
Cat Cay looks like a cool place if you have BUCKETS of money. An interesting history though. You should have just motored in what would they have done, fire a cannon?
Are you planning to be part of the birth Riley? I was there for both my son, Christopher's birth, as well as my Daughter Anna's. I in fact cut their umbilical cords. When they opened their eyes and looked into mine, well there simply are no words to describe that feeling. Is Elayna planning home birth? So incredibly excited for you two, Elayna is going to make a truly remarkable mother, and I have zero doubt you will make a great dad, the little guy is destined for greatness. I am new, have been binge watching for the last week and a half, I have slowed down on watching because I just don't want it to end. How's your book coming? Looking forward to that read one day.
yes mate, I'll be by Elayna's side during the birth. Heard lots of stories, looking forward to it.
Great episode as always
Liam is a great boys name, just putting it out there
Oh I was really hoping Elayna would have let Riley have his rant about cat island, yep their is always going to be the great divide between people with or without money, we all bleed, we are all the same humans good or bad.. they just missed out on meeting the nicest down to earth couple from Oz, let them have their Island & there poor thinking, lonely agendas, they missed out, but you too may have also dodged a bit of strange cattle... who knows your angels may have been in protection mode of La Vagabond crew! Say la vie! Oh the name Sailor comes to mind for baby boy, I have a sailing labradoodle this is his name, very apt because he loves our catarmaran...
You guys are so awesome. I enjoy watching your stories so much. I've been thinking of renting a little cottage out in the Bahamas for a little vacation and watching you guys go through gives me a better understanding of where I can go, hmmm, that gives me an idea, maybe I should rent a catamaran and sail myself over rather than flying and then just stay on the cat! :-)
Hey Riley, Sometime could you describe the gear you use when spear fishing? I think I know what the float is for but what is the real on your belt?
Enjoyed the virtual exploration of the Bahamas with you guy's. I've only been to the Grand Bahama Island to provide rescue support for one of the early Space Shuttle launches in a Jolly Green CH3 Helicopter back in the early 80's. There wasn't much to do there, but I did manage to do some snorkeling. Cheers, thanks for bringing back those memories! (The small air strip is close to the Burial Mound Cave.)
Come on Riles that was a pretty weak Bomb,to finish this Ep.
Great Video
Awesome video guys keep it up!
I'm with Dan, Nick sounds good!
:-)
Good times for sure! As for LaVaga Jr.'s name, "Jack Daniel" is still available. My wife Natalie had wanted to name our one and only child if a boy after her Grandfather Jack (GrandJack) and me Daniel. And I enjoy Jack Daniels Bourbon to boot so that would have been a meaningful family name with a fun twist. But when we were blessed with the birth of our beautiful daughter almost 22 years ago, we took the alternate path on the name and so she is Nicole (Greek=Victorious) Danielle (a nod to me her Pops). So Jack Daniel is all yours for the taking ... ;-) Praying for y'all as the big day approaches.
what about Morgan? haha!
With the wet and cold of winter setting in her in the upstate of South Carolina, your videos are making me increasingly anxious for our friends and family summer trip to the Florida Keys. I may have to stop watching these amazing videos. Just kidding of course. Thanks for the weekly adventure. I still strongly recommend you visit the Florida Keys. The reefs there are amazing as well. You should look into visiting Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas. You could spend several days in that remote area! It is located approx. 80 miles west of Key West.
Thanks David! Yes, we do need to check out the Florida Keys. It's gonna be hard to leave the Bahamas although we might pop up to New York for the really hot months.
Just beautiful! Thank u 4 the world view. Luv 'ya!

Nick. I like single syllable names for yelling; not in anger, just urgency.
we have been thinking about one which is two syllables but I like what you're saying.
If Mihika were to have been a boy we would have named her "Gris" (the french pronunciation) after Bete Grise, witch is a beautiful bay/beach on the shore of Lake Superior. It means Gray Beast and from what I know it means the big gray water (and supposedly something about a lost lover). But, she was a she and is a Mihika.
Beautiful place your in what a joke about that island I love those clear waters so peaceful
Beautiful song, Elayna.
Thank you Thomas!
Cat Cay; Has been a private club island for many decades. I'm sure if you would have requested berth and paid for a 24hr MAX overnight you would have been granted permission. you have probably done your research on it by now, but unless it was a holiday or an events week a slip would have been given, or if you would have used your LAVaga Fame the red carpet would have been rolled out. NEXT TIME They have Bahama check in and police and private security, a restaurant and very well stocked market you could have had access to.. Elay if your looking for a day job, NOT, they have an executive chef opening, Members only Restaurant, with lodging and once a month transport pd for to Miami
Thanks for the info Chuck! You'd think they would have mentioned that when we radioed in?
Good to know how Stefan got the name. He seems like perfect crew. Nice one Riles going off on one. Names, the obvious choice is of course Riley Jnr or Bruce or of course Shayne, 😃😩 Casper meaning king of treasure, Nikolai meaning people’s triumph or Jakob. That’s it from Scandinavia.
I have a mate back home by the name Cheyne but we used to deliberately spell it Shane to stir him up 😃I don't mind the others but when I think 'Casper', I can't think of anyone else but the friendly ghost 😃
I'm totally with Riley on this one. That was total BS about that island not allowing you to go ashore. Who the Hell are they? Argh.......... Meanwhile, the weather has cooled down a bit here in Florida, and hope you 3 are all doing well! Oh, and Eric is obviously a great name for a Warrior Sailor! #NorseMen #Vikings lol Cheers!
thanks mate. Maybe Eric for #2 ;)
Boys name... Haven
"Cody" Boy's name meaning, origin, and popularity or "Codie" .... Have fun choosing.
Name our boy Codie and get Doyle or North Sails to name a "Codie" after our boy you reckon maybe Graham ;)
Loved Riley going off a little bit! Lol!! So funny!
Not healthy holding it in is it Jim ;)
By far My top weekly routine, checking in with You guys, happy monday's // greetings from Norway 🌎⚓ Johan Name (Caspian) 🤗

Hi Jeremy, YouTube is particularly helpful but both would be a bonus :) Thanks for the support Jeremy xo
Is liking a video on patreon the same as YouTube or do we need to do both? You guys rock!
