BOAT LIFE: We Ran Out Of Water..
Ever gone to fix something and it results into a bigger problem? Well that's where we're at with the water maker but in the middle of nowhere so we're on the search for getting it fixed and sourcing some more water in the meantime.
We catch up with OJ who taught himself how to make spearguns on YouTube. Pretty impressive. There should be no excuses on lack of seafood on the menu on La Vagabonde.
Thanks for supporting this episode. Keep an eye out for a scheduled live stream date very soon.
Have a great weekend!
Love Elay, Riles & Lenny xo

Can’t believe how big Lenny is getting! Crazy. Riley you crack me up. Elayna you’re sweet and beautiful. Can’t wait to meet the new one. Thanks for the enjoyable vids and letting me see places I’ll never see 🤷🏽♂️.
Depending on what your cooking with the lobster sometimes the easiest way to cook it is to split the tail and remove the meat. Then you can cut it into large dice and sauté with garlic, onion and whatever else you like. The higher the heat the better you can caramelize the meat and seal the moisture inside. It cooks quickly this way. Otherwise splitting the tail and slowing poaching in butter is the way to go!
Hahaha Lenny and his unmatched levels of excitement 😂😂😂 so funny, made me rewatch and laugh even louder !!
The bravery you three demonstrate sailing the treacherous 3 inch waves in your small boat is awe inspiring's! Sail away mates!!
Great video! I hope you got your water maker fixed!
as in that marcel skit was GOLD
I split lobster tail open on the underside. Stuff it with garlic butter and lemon. Then wrap it in aluminum foil then stick it on the BBQ Grill. The amount of cook time varies depending on the size of the tail, you'll have to experiment.😊⛵
so many old lavaga vibes, you guys thrive in that part of the world and it shows! x
Oh man the lofi paired so well. Chef’s kiss. Easily a new favorite episode!
Oh I loved the little Marcel the Rooster 🐓 story 😍...perfect 👌
It's such a joy watching Lenny grow and change, and in the LaVagabonde setting, with such great parents, makes it all the more magical!
Elayna, have you tried grilling lobster? Split the raw tail in the same way, but don't cut all the way through the underside. Then fold it open so the meat is exposed and baste it with melted butter and garlic. Then place it meat side down on the grill on low heat for about three or four minutes depending on size. The tail, when folded together makes a handy little handle to pick it up.
What a fun opening! It looks like you had a great time putting this episode together. I love the scene of Lenny running through the bush pointing out leaves and crabs.
Thank you for another great video to kick off the weekend! Would love to know the software you are using for the animations? Cheers, all, and Happy Weekend!
Illustrations are done in Concepts on an Ipad and then compiled and animated in Adobe Animate, and sometimes in After Effects for lengthier animations where there are a bunch of scenes (Like the Marcel one). :)
So grateful that while lots is up in the air for you, you have a beautiful place, friends by your sides, good help and the cruising community. Lenny is growing and getting SO good at so much! Running! Chattering away! Exploring the world. Thanks so much for sharing this sweetness with us. Now, when will we have a LIVE stream and find out the plans?
Just loved Lenny running through the sandy track and Riley scratching Lenny's leg. So cute and the music was perfect. Like the new intro but still love the old one- can we have both? Elayna you are a beautiful pregnant lady and hope that your pregnancy is going well are you are finding some good Midwives.
i love shrek btw, it's a compliment
The start of this video reminded me of Shrek hehehe
I drop the said CRAYFISH, into boiling water for 8 minutes, or I do 4 minutes then spit it down the middle paste with butter or coconut oil and BBQ for a few minutes each side.
Agreed, I got that from a commercial lobster fisherman.
Been watching your videos since 2017 and only recently joined the Patreon crew. I have been thinking of a possible way to prove my loyalty to the crew. So, how about a quiz? A quiz that only the true OG gang will be able to master. One very simple question: What gift would I bring for the crew living on La Vaga if I got invited onboard? Well, where do I begin, Nikki- A super light weight tumble drier, for drying all the wet clothes while crossing the Atlantic. Dan the shark man- honestly I would just leave him in the water and braai him a steak like real South Africans do. Andre- rice and olive oil and obviously a gas bottle for the stove. Jack- another pair of Birkenstocks and socks. For Elayna, most definitely heaps of dark chocolate, ashwagandha root, and coconut oil. This goes without saying, but stable internet and a washing machine is also included. And lastly, Riley- A how to sail for dummies book. Just kidding mate, just some Aussie banter, I would bring a gas bottle adapter that allows you to fill the gas bottles using different types of fittings, an oil filter wrench that could be used both on the oil filter and the water maker filter, an automatically adjusting hydrogenerator and the perfect backpack. For Lenny, I would bring him a tractor. And for (not sure on the name yet) Finn- Nappies, I hear those can be expensive. So where can I meet the crew? between the black stump and the post office?
Lenny is the sweetest boy!! loved this ep
We’re going to need a few examples of the things Lenny gets excited about. Loved your impression of him, Riles. I’m a new patron, been loving these early access videos! Thanks for sharing ♥️
It's fair to say that this Marcel isn't a mime artist.
Lenny's a real joy. Presume you cut out the other parts... ;)
Marcelle looks lonely. You need to take him a half-dozen female friends!
Another great VLOG with plenty of great images, love the drone footage, the startup graphics and the Marcel story & graphics & & & Lenny getting so very good in the water now. But the Big questions remain, where to have your baby? & where will the next boat be built?
I like the way you talk and play with your son, Riles. Great 👍
Clever and funny story about Marcelle. Great music and sweet Lenny always makes a great episode better.
Loved the intro and the bit about the back story of the chicken. I would love to read his analysis of class struggle for control of the means of production. Glad to seen you all survived the 3 inch waves and no one got seasick (sadly, that would likely be enough to make me sick)
I'm living the Monty Python vibe I'm getting from the animation.
Fun video for sure!
Wait a minute, I can’t be a smart ass. Jeez now I can’t even think of something else to say.
I think it's time to feature one of your cartoon characters on a t-shirt! Any chance this live stream will reveal the new boat?
Hey, Marcelle is my middle name! The Lenny running segment was my favorite part! 😂 Now I know how dads tire out toddlers! Stay safe, guys!
Love the funny stories and graphics in this one! Good job changing it up! Good chase and catch Riles on the lobster!! Yum! Also, being honest about the hassles and troubles that boating can be - no fresh water - is so good for those that might glamorize this life style. there are some serious challenges too! “There’s a bird on the bucket, dear Lizza, dear Lizza… 😂 ❤️
Dude...Darn kind of you to eat that "raw" segment out of the Lobster tail. BTW: The intro on this episode looked so damned good, I was in a state of confusion for several seconds. (Wait wait...I mean...your video NORMALLY looks great,) but the graphics, etc., were different. Loved the subtle "Buffoon" graphic. You guys do such great work, and by all appearances are having a great time doing it. I always look forward to the next production. Safe sailing, guys.
Thanks Jack!
Another great cartoon this week, starring a rooster! Thank you!!
Cheers Ang!
I was born a smart ass! I think that’s why I like you guys so much! Yes last live stream?
This was your best video yet, loved it. You guys are really going places..... pun intended. :-)
Cooking Crayfish (Lobster) Salted water, bring to the boil, put lobster in, return to the boil, then boil for 7 minutes. Done. Dad was a cray fisherman in WA when I was a kid, crayfish every day for lunch. Sad to say but got sick of crayfish.... :-)
Yeah, you know you grew up well if you could get to stage where you were sick of crayfish 😊
I feel like La Vaga is turning on you guys haha! 😆
yep, La Vaga is a close relative of Herbie we think
Last live stream before the baby?
I'd say that is very likely 😊
