Dodging STORMS with Greta Thunberg // 60 knot winds & 7m waves on the Horizon!! Ep.2
We're dodging storms, on our way sailing across the North Atlantic Ocean with Greta Thunberg. We have 60 knot winds and 7m waves only 24 hours away from us and if we don't sail far enough, we could be hit with these devastating conditions...

Watching the crew meld together into a seamless team on this crossing is amazing to witness.
After watching your progress on predictwinds weeks ago it's great to see the footage of the trip. It's possible I mist out on a notification but I keep wondering when, where and how you got Nikki to come and do the crossing with you? Can't wait too see more👍🏻😀
Wonderful wonderful video. Inspiring the way you have challenged yourselves. Lenny, of course, steals the show with that infectious smile. Music is great. Excited to see the next installment.
Very intense episode. Thank you! Tears for Riles at 10:22. I can only imagine the relief! Lenny-my god he appeared to enjoy the ride. Incredible First Mate potential. I am so glad you have Nikki to help. Great sailing babe! Hope to see her on many future adventures! I hope you are stopping in Azores for brief rest.
Are we almost to next video yet?! How many more days, Mom? 😁
guys - thanks for taking care of Greta and her dad. So glad the weather cooperated and you made it safely across the pond!
Love it! keep them coming :)
I was absolutely astonished when I found out it was SLV bringing Greta back to Europe, and I've been waiting anxiously for this series ever since. Swedish newspapers featured articles about you and photos of your boat at the time and it felt sort of bizarre like this channel I've been watching for years is now world news and I'm seeing it everywhere. I'm so happy you got play a part in her mission and that Greta and Svante got to travel home in such wonderful company. Leve La Vagabonde och lycka till Greta Thunberg!
btw I had left you on patreon to support some smaller creators but added you back once this series started because you deserve the highest props for taking this on despite the deniers
Fantastic! Thank you!
Awesome video. Riley, the sheer relief on your face to have come through that storm unscathed was Immeasurable! Having similar experiences the absolute elation one feels in that situation cannot be described in words. Brilliant!! Well done to all of you!!
Fantastic episode. - The Matrix, the eleyna hairstyle after the rhino birth, the sailing companionship with Nikky - twice you have done it -, E&L's matching shirts, R and L's joiint performance, and mayby most of all R's weather/sailing reflexions including the secret Columbus-log. And Bilgie (though there doesn't seem to be muc sentiment -?) Best show on Earth (and at sea) !
Bilgiee! ❤️❤️❤️
Man, i felt the relief .It brought a big smile to me even though l know you make it,l still felt the stress.
THAT! That is what I want a boat for. I was on seas like that about 25 years ago. Something so pure about the energy. Like standing in a pen of wild horses or cows fresh off the summer range. Bikinis and white sandy beaches are nice but this is my drug of choice. Thanks guys. Can't wait for the next video!
I must say, thank you Riley and Nikki for your dedication to get our girl, and her papa, Svante, home safe! and thanks Elay for nourishing the team ~and Lenny for bringing joy to the journey! Greta, first of all thank you for all you do, you truly are changing the world, one day at a time. Please, consider helping us more. Your support for Bernie is just what we need. If the masses of voters, in USA, insist on turning things around, by voting for Bernie and all he represents, we can do this. We must have a 'mandate' for Bernie or the corporations won't allow him to win. Just like the swivel Riley did with the boat to avoid the winds and waves we need you to alter the course and rise in support of Bernie to bring what we desperately need to protect the planet. In 2016 I spent every nickel and almost all my time trying to help Bernie get elected because I trust him to address the climate crises as a priority. I went to 7 states and slept in my tiny car...I too am an activist! (and early childhood teacher). What I learned is that thousands and thousands of young adults came out saying they would vote for Bernie but then only about 3 out of 5 did so (even less). Please, inspire more people to get out and vote (not just talk about it). Not only will the young adults listen, and the children who can influence the adults in their lives, but the geezers, like me(almost), will listen too. Please help us Greta! Then, maybe the Pope... will do so too! PS I am so glad you all got across safely!
Another amazing video thanks for sharing!
Great video! I think that was the first time I was nervous for you guys as I watched it.
Still with you all the way! I happened to be at Topgolf Myrtle Beach yesterday ( Sunday, 2-9) & was checking in guests when I glanced up at the door & saw La Vagabond logo on the back of a fellow's jacket! I wasn't able to run after him, but I was elated to see a very familiar sight! God bless your crossing! Luv'ya!
Yayyyyy we r on holiday in Tassie had to pull over and watch ~ great stuff 🇦🇺
I remember following you guys on predictwinds during that passage and seeing all the dark red absolutely scared the 💩😵out of me! You and Niki were so brave to take on this challenge, and watching it now puts all the pieces together. Hope we get to see you guys do another sail with Niki ( somewhere warm, calm and sunny perhaps😂😉). 💚⛵️
That was epic, you had nerves of steel, made good decisions and forged ahead. Wow, what a journey, thanks for sharing this with us!
Great video! Good decision making. I followed Nikki's twitter posts during the live crossing and enjoyed them very much. Hopefully she will get more screen time in the upcoming episodes. (Unless of course she would rather stay in the background.)
You guys are incredible, awesome video. Loving these videos! I hope you interview the new crew members so we can learn more about their stories!
Thank you!!
I was so stoked when the notification popped up that this video was loaded! I have been looking forward to watching it. You guys did an awesome job. I thoroughly enjoyed the video.
Just awesome. You guys come across as a perfectly well oiled machine.
Well that was exciting. That’s a lot of pressure on the Captain, well done mate! 👍 What a crew on top of all that. Until next time ✌🏻❤️
And I'm dodging responsibilities on this Monday. We're basically like twins but different.
Loved every minute. Well done video!
So awesome. I can’t wait for next week’s video!
Highlight of the week, I won't be depressed today! =)
Finally! I’ve been anxiously awaiting this all day!
