Our First Sail As A Family - 7 daily vlogs (playlist)

As long as you're still making sailing videos, I don't mind Lenny being a part of them. Of course this very important addition to the crew needs to impact the content of your videos, since they are not as much sailing videos as the story of your lives sailing. I really like your video's and I'm impressed that you manage to keep the coming the way they do while facing a lot of challenges, both practical and technical, travelling like you do. As long as you are still doing what you do, I'll continue to support you.

Very heartwarming series of vlogs on your first sail as a family. Love and prayers go out to Paul and Lisa. To Lex, may all your boat dreams come true! Keep working hard. xoxoxo

I wish I'd known you were in Ponce Inlet you could have come over for dinner and a grocery run; we're .5 mile south of the inlet. The rays you saw were Manta rays and they are followed by cobia. The cobia hang out under the migrating rays and you catch them by sight casting a crank bait to a ray and the cobia come out from underneath. The biggest building at 'area 51' is the VAB, vertical assembly building; they assemble the rockets standing up inside it. Supposedly the interior is so big it has its own weather. When we sail south out Ponce to the Abacos we can see that building for about 14 hrs because it is so big and we are so slow.

Sorry I'm not a donor but I love watching YouTube! My girlfriend and I have been watching your videos from the beginning (binge watching), lol, we enjoy every episode of you all. We haven't gotten to the part where you have Lenny yet but we're very much looking forward to seeing him, he's adorable. You guys have fun on your adventure and we're going to keep watching you. Good Luck! Bob & Patty

Crazy - I never got seasick until I had my son too...gets better but my 1st sails on open 'rolling' water I now get queezy - hope you don't suffer this fate - LOVE seeing you both with Lenny

Option 2!

With plans to go possibly as far north as Maine during the hurricane season have you put any thought into possibly crossing into the great lakes at all and put lavagabonde in fresh water aka the inland ocean?

So, I’ve finally been able to get my wife to watch you guys and I owe to Lenny! We have 6 g’kids and a 7th due in November and she loves babies, so great job Lenny!! Now that my sailing days have ended, we enjoy watching and we will wave to you as you sail by down here in the Fort Lauderdale area! Cheers

New Patron here. I love your boat. Wish you guys luck on future passages and congrats on Lenny!

Like a duck to water, La Vagabonde and it's crew sail into another sunset. Happy sailing Lenny, you're in safe hands!

Them beans.... Bloody hell.

Glad you saw Cape Canaveral (NASA's main launch site). One day when Lenny is a bit older, you should take him there for a tour and hopefully to see a launch. The work there represents human exploration in much the same way sailing the high seas did at one time (and may still...)

Hi you three. Have to say that this last video series was great. Very 'now' and very much felt Karen and I were on board with you. Loved it. Karen also wants you to know she has lost her heart to Lenny :). We are back in the Med now and working to get Te Anau back in the water by the end of this month. Grado is a lovely place with a rich blend of Italian and German/Austrian culture, and only a days sail from Venice (if you get a chance, check out our vids from last year - 'Friday Night in Grado', and 'One Sunday in Grado' - they will give you an idea of why we love the place so much. If you get back to the Med, then we would recommend a visit here (by which time who knows where we will be …). Keep up the great videos - I know they are a lot of work, but well worth it for all of us - and for you guys of course. Speaking of which, I had better get to it - we have been here 10 days and no video yet!

Hey Team LaVaga! Love love love watching your videos. Definitely keeps myself and my husband Shane inspired for what our sailing future holds!! Also wondering if you can help me plug my gofundme page as I’m racing in the Sydney to Hobart this year - the best possible thing you could do would be to share my page so we can create awareness for my dear friend’s daughter Kirra who has Cystic Fibrosis. Anything you can do would be amazing, I’m sure you can relate now that you have baby Lenny that a healthy baby is a gift and my friends haven’t been afforded that chance, by pure circumstance which is just so heartbreaking. Now all we can do is hope for cure in Kirra’s lifetime, before it’s not too late. Thanks in advance xx <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/sydney-to-hobart-sail-for-cystic-fibrosis" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.gofundme.com/f/sydney-to-hobart-sail-for-cystic-fibrosis</a>

The more the Lenny the better :)

Amazing playlist of videos guys! Really appreciate your openness to the people you meet on your journey and how much you share of your thoughts and perspective on your own situation and that of others. Your gratefulness is very heartwarming! Thank you.

Awesome!

Unfortunately, I can only give one thumbs-up, deserves seven.

AAAAWEESOOOOMMMMEEE!!!!!!

Have you considered the Pacific Puddle Jump? It is a cruiser rally from Mexico to French Polynesia.

Been years since I crewed on a tall ship, but something about these vlogs brought back some of the wonder experienced in those quiet and special moments at sea. Thanks for the care, passion, and joy you put into your sailing, family, and work and share with all of us. 😀

As someone who doesn't mind kids but also stopped watching a different channel because of kid spam, I think you guys are doing an awesome job of keeping a really good balance, love watching your adventure 🙂

Absolutely loved this series of vlogs! Lenny has made the show even better! Much love to you both!

My first comment as a patron! I'm so happy I joined, and I'm loving the daily v-logs. Thank you!!!

Agree to all positive comments. Plus, you are eminent TV editors! Btw, to some you carry a legacy from famous (in Denmark 😄 ) Troels Kløvedal (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troels_Kl" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troels_Kl</a>øvedal). Today, grandsons are sailing the Havana.

I cannot figure out Lenny’s eye color! In one of the scenes in St. Aug they looked bluish, but I’d thought them to be brown. Can’t wait to see which way they go!

Thanks for all the work on the vlogs. I have been watching for over 12 months and have joined the SLV crew today. A small contribution only guys, but I look forward to your vlogs each week. Thank you. Cheers Peter

Thank u3 so much for the extra work & beautiful effort on these vblogs. My wife is playing cards with the ladies. I had an 8 hour shift today & was able to enjoy the whole set with wine, cheese & crackers. Loved the sunset (my favorite time of day) & as always, the sailing. Love u3 too! Keep going into the future. We're there with u all the way. Good winds, Luv 'ya!

That series was - is - beautiful! So remarkable to see u3 day after day. U were so close to us & we did slip down to St Augustine to avoid the past hurricane. (The World Golf Museum drew me there.)

Thank you so much for your effort! I don’t really know what to write because my english isn’t the best, and I can’t find the right words at the moment, so just thank you!

Hi guys, It's great to watch you guys. Love the playlist and was able to see all the clips. Can't wait to watch Lenny grow up on the water. Would love to see some more spearfishing when you get to warmer water. Been missing that. My only complaint is that 7 videos gets me into a binge watching mood and then it's over too quickly. I'll be moving down to Florida next month with my wife and daughter. When are you planning the next meet up? Would be awesome to meet you guys. Keep on keeping on and can't wait for the next one next Monday. Cheers.

Hey Guys...... I always feel like puking on that stretch leaving out of Charleston Harbor. I think its something to do with the motion when the tide is flowing one way and the wind is against it. It makes short, choppy and erratic waves and it just looks weird when you watch the waves and water stacking up.

The quality of your videos is constantly improving - congratulations and thank you for sharing

Sorry don’t know what happened there, as I was saying ... just live your lives and don’t worry about if you’re filming too much or too little of Lenny, he’s part of the family now. In the end you as parents have to trust your own instincts, you’ve done a great job so far as there is no handbook for all this, you’re going great! I’m off to England on Friday to start my new adventure towards my Yachtmaster License and really excited! Hope to meet you all one day😘💕

Wow guys! That was intense footage especially with being new parents. Just Love your lives, don’t worry about if

Riley don’t you just love that Fat Tire beer. It’s one of my favorites.

Can't get enough of you guys and Lenny. What an awesome little guy.

Not sure if this was suggested before but while watching Daily Vlog #4 as you are walking through Saint Augustine its seems you guys could use a Baby Bjorn carrier. As a father of 2 little ones, this piece of machinery has been hugely valuable to keep your hands free and just more comfortable carrying the babies around.

Hope you guys enjoyed Charleston! Born and raised on the waters here! Too bad it was a little cold for you, Elayna. You never know what kinda weather we'll have in March around here!

Amazing job guys! I think you've got quite a good balance of Lenny and everything else that goes on. Keep it up but don't over do it and burn yourselves out! Take care guys, always sending you some love and great winds.

just love the vlogs, more please

Cool just Bingewatch , liked and commented on all of them! whew! Top top notch content each and every one of them R&E&L(you scene stealer you). but yeah you could totally do day vlogs, not expected but you def could if need be! Doubt Elayna you would love the insane amount of edit hours but yeah :) Bravo on this run of 7 here Elay. Capn

You put a smile on my face each time I see your videos, thanks for that, and - Lenny rules ok!🙂🦄

followed many Volvo Ocean races in the Southern ocean. BAD place. Please take that one off your single handed list. Even the pros lose their boats.

Never mind! Figured it out!

How are y’all seeing these new videos? All i see is the seasick one that the general public can see 🤷🏾‍♀️

Looks like Lenny is a natural! I'm looking forward to watching him get his "sea legs", too. See y'all next time!

Fantastic guys, thoroughly enjoyed that binge of 7 days. You’ll be free’d up a bit once Lenny is sitting up with the big kids at the table. Did you end up catching a fish Elayna? I’m sorry I couldn’t like them all however I did love them all. Great work.

La Vagabingeeeeee! The look on Lenny's face when he looks at you sometimes Elayna: pure joy!

Well your young stowaway seems to be settling into his new lifestyle just fine. Of course he is, it comes within his genes from Mum & Dad! So excited to see you back out at sea and traveling to warmer climates and new adventures with Squire Lenny!

Proud dad, proud captain, great to see. Interesting to see Lenny developing. When a parent, you do not always notice. Interesting to see him move and start to repeat moves that he is learning. Interesting sailing explanation too. All good. Finally the story of how you guys met. 😃

What a great series of vlogs, quite the emotional range.

Lenny is just a champion. He seems like he has settled right into life on the boat. You’ve mentioned Will and Lynn a couple of times lately and I just booked a sailing course at their school. Maybe I can start my own channel “Prairie Boy Goes Sailing”. LOL Just had to try it at least once..... thanks for the inspiration. Cheers

Hey guys, awesome daily vlogs . What a treat for all of us. Thank you so much for doing these. I imagine it took ton of time to put together. But so much fun to see you guys back in sail mode and Lenny on his first sails plus you two sailing with Lenny as well. Thank you again for taking the time and doing this for us . I really enjoyed the new but also throw back how you guys met again. You talked about it a bit way back when on old Vaga for those of us who followed you from very beginning and still remember. So is Lenny getting his Captain mustache soon? Looks like Elay might need another imperfect hair cut from you Riley and Lenny can use the extra hair for his new Captain mustache. haha You know Lenny is The Captain now and Elay is the first mate and Riley the second mate with all the physical stuff. haha You talked about sailing schedule and possible destinations for next few months. Have you guys looked into Great Lakes? You can sail around Bahamas, go back up east coast of USA during summer, go through Chesapeake Bay between Canada and USA, sail thorough Great Lakes all the way to Chicago and then back, yet different routes and different ports back to Atlantic and onward. We have seen Carib, Panama, Pacific, Australia, Europe, Atlantic etc We have been there with you. But how many people that follow you have seen the Great Lakes and I mean they are fresh water seas. Plus you can free dive, fish, in fresh water that is 90x600 miles big just in one lake, still catch 50 mph winds, see ports you never seen, dive in one of the most shipwreck littered lakes/seas in the world, even take part in a sailboat race or just go to a party and meet the huge sailing community here. Check Macinack Island, Leeland, New Haven, Door County Wisconsin, lake Huron, Chicago. All within your reach, see new places, and still be close to land if anything unexpected happens. And we would love to see you here. Just a thought while you are still close by. Cheers!

MORE LENNY!

Great stuff mates! Looks like the family is on the way to new frontiers. :) - feedback: I think you're finding the right balance, sail on La Vagabonde!

Great to see Eleyna is hanging fun sailing again! Lenny won't know how lucky he is to grow up like this! 🥒 & 🍅 every day!

Enjoying these episodes and the emphasis on a day in the real life view. Reminds me of the early episodes when you two were mere "kids" yourselves.

Stoked to see Lenny on the water! I’ll never forget our first time out with our baby girl! She was 5 months old and we island hopped on the north coast of Lake Superior!

Finished all 7 well #6 was missing but figure the (C) comment must apply. Great series and kind of poignant while showing the glee. Liked the history of the relationship. Though we’ve watched since you started seeing it through today’s eyes is kind of fun.

Love the daily vlogs! You guys were so cute when telling your story about how you met!

love yall <3

First one was awesome. Then I wanted to see more, but now I realized its another playlist! STOKEDDD! haha Cheers to the beers Riley! Good to see yal finally as a family on the water 🤙

Here's another link to the playlist if it's not working for you! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLej_Gvr1c1MOMS0mS9P8X3KABmmwfFJ39" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLej_Gvr1c1MOMS0mS9P8X3KABmmwfFJ39</a>

Great first family sail!! Where did you anchor after leaving Charleston? Looks similar to the southern outer banks along the ICW.

Have you guys tried a sling or bassinet mounted from the ceiling? It would be safer than having that beautiful boy on the table. Love your videos

Great stuff looking forward to your next video.

Hey fyi #2,3,5,6 say private video and seem to be inaccessible.
