THE ADVENTURE BEGINS! Ep.192

Wow, that was superb! And little Lenny is adorable, as always!! Our heart goes out to you guy's as new parents, especially on the road. It's more than a full time job! But it's easy to see Lenny knows he's loved, which is priceless - just ask the Beatles! i.e. Can't buy me love. :) Just take one day at a time, try not to rush things. God bless you guys!!!

How can we send you guys treats? (packages of goodies) and what kind of treats would you like? (sorry if you already answered this already)

Sounds like a very fair contract to me 😂 this new chapter is going to be amazing ❤️

So great to see you all back on La Vagabonde! Loved the contract bit with Lenny! He’s going to be a great crew member 💙💙

Hey! What kind of drone do you fly? Ever consider a video about what type of camera equipment you use?

Travel with the little guy will make him happier and stronger - keep on trucking!

Impossible not to be won over by you. The experience of being parents comes right over in the video, as it takes another step up in content and sense of fun. Your sense of responsibility and ability to take good decisions continues unhindered. Odd that Lenny has no tache yet though!!

Hey guys! I just signed up.. Wanted to say hello to you both and if you're ever back in radelaide, you're welcome to stay at my airbnb in Fullarton... Happy to be a member now.. Been watching for the last 2-4yrs.

This ride just keeps getting better and better all the time !!! BRAVO

Where did you get the idea for the baby contract? Not sure if you are big gamers but it reminds me of the intro to Fallout 3. Would love to see a interactive first person video of Lenny running/crawling around the boat in the future where the viewers can make choices that affect his actions. Might not be so easy to mount a camera to a baby's head, but it sounds likes fun concept.

Lenny’s contract!! ❤️❤️❤️

And again... wonderful video... been a patron for 2 years now I think... and i just love it ! i did drop a few tears when you were reading the contract.... so so cute.... he is a lucky little charm, and you guys are as well very lucky to have found each other.... looking forward to the next video !

I just joined as a patreon. You guys are an inspiration.

Lovely video! I hope the new crew pulls his weight! Actually, he isn't very heavy I'm sure so he doesn't have to do so much. Sleep, smile, poop and burp should be enough I reckon. Cheers, David

I love you guys! Wish you would have contacted us when you were in LA. You could have slept for hours instead of hanging out in Starbucks. Plus we have authentic Australian vegemite brought back from Geraldton that we would have given to you. (Mainly because no one here will touch it!) Bob & Michelle

That passport photo is epic! Thanks for sharing that story. It is especially relevant because I have friends who are flying from Australia to Florida right now. They got delayed in Sydney because of a smoke alarm going off in the Air Traffic Control tower in Sydney. Now they are spending the night in Dallas.

Simply great music, editing and story telling. Thanks kiddos

I think this is my new favourite episode! Totally nailed it. The music was awesome. The footage was awesome. Lenny is adorable of course! Charleston looks super nice. Thanks for being so real. Must be nice to be home. Can’t wait for next week.

Love the new intro, very slick. And the animation morphing into your logo - little Lenny taking his proper place in it. The interview scene was both hilarious and precious . It all shows a mastery of your storytelling and video skills. Keep up the great work.

Awesome guys. Loved seeing Lenny. And your movie making skills have reached a new high!!! I went back and watched the first two episodes .........................just for fun! hahahhaha - losing the dinghy! and the cowboy/mexican music in the intro..........I'd forgotten that. Such a difference.

WOW, crew contract and everything !!!!! I think you may misunderstand the chain of command, Lenny's the actual captain

Hi again. Just reading through some of the comments. It’s very clear that folks love the raw but clever moments on the video which you have kept in. Clever editing showing real human moments make it so entertaining. Excellent work. Riley is so good when he forgets what he wants to say! Sheer joy, .....and real. Love it.

Absolutely love the video! The other commenters are spot on, your videos have reached a very high level of perfection! I’m curious what type of life saving devices do you have on board for Lenny? I’ve often wondered what would be available to use when raising a child, specifically an infant on a live aboard. I’ve seen other videos sailors with new babies on board but little mention of options in case of disaster. Just curious . My babies are grown men now, but I have grandchildrenn and I expect to have more in the future. Hopefully I can expose them to life aboard so they can get the fever.

Its good to see the three of you back

Lenny!!! 💖💖 so great to see you. Lil cutie. Good job mom n dad.

Such an incredible episode - totally outdid yourselves somehow with Lennie... We know how much more difficult that is! Great work! We love you!

Blackbeard looks like Ian McShane the actor from deadwood

I loved this episode, one of my favorites! Can't wait to see Lenny sailing!!!!

I think it's wise to make the kid sign the contract in his own blood. More binding that way. Very metal. The other best parenting tip I know is to get as many compromising embarrassing photos you can. Keep taking them as long as he'll let you, then lock them away in an encrypted folder. When he's a surly teen screaming how much he hates you and wants to make your life hell, pull out the photos and threaten to share them with his friends / school. Leverage. You want leverage. Also, read lots of Calvin & Hobbes for tips from the dad on how to hilariously mess with your son's head. (I would make such a lousy parent...)

Excellant crew contract, I may have to borrow it!

Greetings from Paradise, that is Tasmania, Australia. Hi La Vagabonde crew. Best video ever !!!

Great video, so happy for you all to be back on the boat. Pretty darn funny too! Thanks for taking us along on the adventures

I already commented on the Youtube, just gotta say here amongst us patrons! Stunning stunning stunning Edit here Elayna, Pat yourself on the back. Your work continues to amaze me. Both you guys! this is a top notch debut of Lenny to the boat. tops!

Hehe... great fun with legend lenny.

Captain Ben & Crew, another nice and pleasant posting from you recent travels. Young Swabby truly is becoming more adept at her paddling skills, even when faced with HUGE fishing boat wakes! The Admiral may not be that fast in her rowing technique but she is so nice to watch flexing her girly muscles!

No nursing home - classic. Sadly you come in the world in a diaper, and ya leave in a diaper. Lets hope to die young as old as possible!

That contract part was brilliant. You made it all the way home. Happy to see you back on board w a new crew member. With love and gratitude to your family for the entertainment. 😎👶☀️

Very happy for you two. Very cute kid in for a great adventure.

So glad u got to see Charleston. We go down often for lunch & a few weekends now & then. Loved seeing Lenny onboard & he will be a very valued shipmate once he stops poopin. U gave me an idea my wife may not like - sailing school! Loved the vid, the scenes, the laughs & we r all glad u r safely back home. Luv 'ya!

Hey guys, no matter the countless hours of video and pictures taken, two to three years form now you won't won't remember a thing. You are operating on auto pilot...going and doing what needs to be done on very little sleep. I should know, I did it three times and enjoyed every minute of it...I think. So, enjoy the moment. :)

Charleston is a wonderful historic town and one of my favorites. As you start planning your trip up the east coast, I recommend you stop in Ocracoke North Carolina. It is a neat barrier little island south of Cape Hatteras. You will find the islands history very interesting and the people warm and welcoming. The island is most known for being Black Beards hideout and where he ultimately met his demise. I am sure Riley will geek out over all the Black Beard history to include the ongoing rumors of his treasure being buried somewhere around there. Anyway, I would put it on your list as a must stop on your way north. Let me know if you want more info or any other suggestions.

Glad you're finally back on the boat. Look forward to more.

I always wait for the videos to come out for the public but I never get to comment early so...I'm just showing up here to say I'm looking forward to this on Monday... :D

Awesome video guys. Bravo for surviving that epic journey back to LaVaga with your sense of humours intact. The close up shot on your red tired eyes made it very real Elayna

Very cool video of the place in which I live. Though I have never met Will and Lynn I did learn to sail through their school. Fun fact: The owner of the lagoon that Riley helped rescue was my instructor for ASA 101. He was awesome.

Love it. The Lenny induction to the boat was particularly funny. Love seeing you guys back on the boat with Lenny. Thanks for sharing!! Xx Steve and Jo

The kiddo has some lungs! Imagine all that kid stuff doubled, breast feeding two kids, nappies, travel and you know why parents of twins call the first year the blur. We’re not complaining. We once had this conversation with a single parent dad of quadruplets. If you think this part is hard wait until he is a stinky teenager. We are having a lot of fun watching your life transition wishing we could go back 40 years and start over. Thanks for the glimpse.

Wonderful! Baby mom dad contract was cute!! 🐟🐠🧡

OMG is Lenny not the cutest baby ever! Really enjoyed seeing you transition back to life on the boat.

Wonderful video one of the best IMO.

Welcome back! Lenny is a handsome little guy. Loved the crew contract. Did you happen to see the Beneteau Oceanis 41.1 on the hard there, awaiting final rigging? That is Write of Passage, our new boat.

Lenny is going to look back at all these videos and feel so loved 💕with lots of laughter too 😁how amazing is that to see how your parents loved before you and when you’re new in the world. I can’t wait to meet you guys one day! Lots of Love ❤️ one day, if you will allow me, I will stay with Lenny on board while you guys have a date night.

Congratulations with baby Lenny he is a cutie!!

You're back on board, YAY!!!! The contract was freakin' HILARIOUS!

Great to see you back. I was getting withdrawal symptoms!!! Well done you guys. You did well with that mamoth journey with little Lenny.

hey! Whats the go with the cracking on the windscreen? is that the tint peeling off or am i missing something?!

that was pretty damn sweet xD and the new Logo is cuuuute..

No big deal. First one here ;)
