Raising our Child Abroad. BAHAMAS on a SAILBOAT. Ep. 203
Join us onboard La Vagabonde, in Spanish Wells. We tie up in a marina to get some boat jobs done and we get to spend some time with our little man Lenny exploring the windward side of the island.
Thanks for watching and supporting our videos!!
Great to speak to those who could make it to our live stream today! Hope you enjoyed it. If you have any feedback for how we structure these, we'd be more than happy to hear them.
Wishing you all a great weekend!!
Love Elay, Riles & Lenny

Hello. Now that you ask about the structuring of the live videos I do have one crucial proposal. Schedule! I'd say first Sunday afternoon of the month. Not that every live session has to be on a schedule, spontaneity I'm sure is part of the fun, but if I could mark something on my calendar I and all your fellow patreons could connect with the family better :)
Again, exceptional. Capturing the essence of it all. Bravo. Thank you
Never thought I'd be excited for October, but I am.. See yas at the show. Cheers
I will be attending the Annapolis boat show and can't wait to meet you guys.
Need some proper thoughts and advise on kids and sailing, we're a young fam thinking about buying a sailboat. We have a 3 year old boy and 5 month old girl. La Vagabonde Mum channel, where you at xo, sara
Do y’all do any private charters? My wife and I would be interested.
Loved this episode! I strive to be able to dock like Elayna.... Marsh Harbour was amazing. Can’t wait to get back to the Abacos!
Well done Elayna you pulled off a captain Ron if ever I saw one 😳😁
Did not make the live cast but the replay was +++, but no one asked my question, How was the racing/sailing/etc, in L.G. Motte? ? ? I'm guessing but Matieu is such a great person, he may have had a had a surprise.
Woops no worries. You guys stay happy, healthy and hyper.
My family and I will actually be in Nassau this week.
Wish you would or could sail to Santa Barbara, Calif., it's where I live, and would meet up with you there because I could never go sailing, I wish I could, but sea sickness is all over me when on a boat! It's a bummer for sure, but if you ever did come here, I would fill you up on my World Class Chocolate Chip Cookies (I have a bakery) enough to be with you across the seas.
Great sailing guys
Capt Dave Jackson, on the Tortuga
Loved the video ! Lenny is just too cute ! Have spent many beautiful days and nights in the Abaco Islands. Many "don't miss spots" . Ice cream in Man o War, Tilloo National Park, Lubber's Quarters, Little Harbor, the museum there at Little Harbor. Thanks for videos !
you guys never fail to brighten up my day :)
just had a 10 week or so binge after moving from Tasmania to Montpellier and i gotta say, even though i feel like i say this literally every time, your videos really are getting better and better all the time! Keep nailing it guys because you really are nailing it! That being said, where do you guys get your vegemite because I am yet to find it here and I read on a FB post that it's currently 12€ a jar!!!
Best clip was Elayna, steering, filming and holding Lenny all at the same time! How many Mums have done that!! Cheers Guys!
A new drone; great reviews and no fear of loss at a $49 price. https://www.amazon.com/Potensic-Quadcopters-Altitude-Headless-Beginners/dp/B07JVQM25Z
Love all your videos so much we had to become patrons to help support everything your doing. Keep it up! You guys are great and your child is going to do nothing but benefit from the way your raising him. Don't let anyone get you down. He's adorable btw. Much love from Cape Cod, MA 🤘
You two are just absolutely stunning parents!!
Awww i was totally enjoying this and then its over. Lenny is cuteness overload. Love love love seeing him. Mommy n daddy too. Have fun guys zig zaggin about. ✌❤❤❤
Another bloody tops video that I’ve watched. I am so happy I’m a patreon. I love helping the 3 of u travel the world. Thanks guys for all your wealth of the high seas. Can’t wait to watch another. Love to the 3 of u. Keep sailing safe.
Great video guys, Riley has the best mustache on youtube, Elayna has the best laugh and Lenny has the best smile. That's a lot of bests. Keep it up all, cheers.
Ha! I've lost several of my DJI Phantoms over the years. One is at the bottom of the harbor here in Camden, Maine. One is out at the bottom of Penobscot Bay. And a few had "run-ins" with some trees. But that's pretty normal. Ask anyone in the commercial vid industry if they fly drones and most will say "Well... I crash drones"... When you add a boat to the mix - particularly a boat that's underway - it's bound to happen.
Sorry I missed your live chat yesterday. I love the Abacos. Two of my books are set in that location.
I really enjoy your videos, but aren't you being upstaged by Lennie? He's such a cool dude!
...Gremlins leaving the auto-pilot...a riot! Must be some left. I love the sailing, water rushing, ropes swinging, wind blowing, steering adjusted...all from the comfort of my desk. I am so jealous but extremely happy to be with u3. Sail on! Luv 'ya!
Another fun video. So I know you are headed North at some point. An obvious place to stop will be Provincetown in Cape Cod. If you do, I have a house near by and you would be welcome to beds, showers, laundry and what ever else you may need.
I challenge Riley to explain in a clear simple and concise way to their non sailor audience why they had to zig and zag to their destination, what that means and how boats can go into the wind and why their boat is quite good at that compared to others. Dare you!
Tacking;, but better yet how about, sailing SE from Spanish Well to Marsh Harber with a cut through Whale Cay channel just before reaching Marsh Harbor;, just curious, I'm smiling Riley.'
L’observations de episode 203. Oddly, bandana looks good on Elayna. It’s cool that you’ve got a boat that goes well, especially upwind. It’s very naughty that the auto helm is so ridiculously complicated.
My day, early morning pre-race full wetsuit dive to clean catamaran bum, a topic conveniently avoided by Riley however he did mention it in the live session that the boat owner will love you forever if you do that if you are trying to be good crew.
Ref loosing yer drone, would you not prefer a waterproof one? I'm thinking (worst case) it could crash in the water and you go get it with the dingy??
Loved this episode. . Lenny's growing up so fast
great video👍👍✌️
Hey guys!!!! Sorry I missed your live session..... Two days ago.... Was working with little horses!!! So happy to see you again hihi and your wonderful videos! What a brave thing to zigzag so long..... Haha! The funny thing when heading into the wind is that you think its arsh weather..... And then you turn the boat with the wind and actually..... Its all calm.... Hehe! Today insurance is taking my boat from me..... Had it for 4 years.... Lived on board for 3 of those 4vyears.... Just bought a house to get my osteopathic clinic in it as well.... Went to see not long ago in a place I know by heart... Ended up hiting a rock which I sailed pass probably 20 times before..... And this time.... I didn't.... What a weird feeling when it happens ( monohull 1.86m drag) the damage is more expensive than my boat.... So they said pick up your stuff we give you money..... Sad day.... So your video are becoming even more previous!!!!!! Hugs from Norway!
Lenny’s noises make me think he will talk early. Awesome vid, sorry about your drone. Loved step 8, let the gremlins leave:)
Under the heading ITS ON THE INTERNET SO IT MUST BE TRUE. I couldn't find anything about a fatality at whale kay cut, but I did learn about its cross dressing Queen. From 1930 to 1975 the island was ruled by an oil heiress named "Joe" Carstairs
Crew for 44 months... just sayin’ :)
A very loyal supporter!! It would be strange to see the comments without seeing your name! Thanks Greg!!
You guys make my day!
Lenny just keeps getting cuter btw! 💕 I totally see where your coming from being excited about him growing up and being able to experience everything around him. Kids that get to spend so much time with parents and the communication differences are so much more rounded as a person and develop their personality earlier it seems. They can’t stay little forever. Lol
Your music selection is amazing! Crazy how they can do that of something playing in the background for a few seconds.
Watching it now. 😁 I had to log into the website, the app has been giving me issues lately. 🤷♀️ Much love 💕
yeah, for some reason when we get a copyright claim in a video, Patreon wont show the video in their app. (we used great escape music)
Anyone else having problems viewing the video?
