The last time we will ever BEACH OUR BOAT [Ep 307]
Now that the news of our new boat build has finally been revealed, we can get back to showing you the last few stories of our chapter on La Vagabonde II. Mixed emotions of course and we couldn't have managed it without the help from Andre, Iona and Tom. Packing up a boat you've been living in for 4 years was a challenge on its own.
When we filmed this video we weren't 100% certain whether it was going to be ready to publish before or after our boat build reveal so you can understand our confusion when trying to explain it - haha! Hope you got a laugh out of it.
For anyone interested to hear more about our new boat build, be sure to join us on the live stream coming up later this week.
Love Elay, Riles & Lenny

When will you splash and move aboard the Rapido 60?
It was such a privilege to bring my kids to see the Outremer in person in Annapolis and to see them jump on the tramps and hanging around the saloon! We'll come find you on Vaga Trois!
When possible would love lots of details on the new boat!
Your recent videos have so much energy, a beautifully meaningful time in your lives. Wunderbar.
I hope when you guys cross the pacific you sail north along the west coast! I’ve been sailing for a couple of years and would love to show you around Vancouver island. So many great places to see up here, I imagine your list of places to go must be miles long 😂
WELCOME HOME GUYS! Can’t wait to see some adventures in Aus.
great video, again...I'm so afraid the new boat won't be as good visually as LaVagabonde2's been....I mean, how can you beat it??
Cartoon Riley needs BANGS! 🤣 hoping your labor is just right and your babe slides out happy and healthy and everyone’s recovery is blissful and lovely.
I’m so happy for you both, even though you are real sailors, there’s still no place like home! Can’t wait to see those two little fellas together!
I keep checking Instagram for the new little man who's apparently dragging his feet! He may only be six weeks old when you plan to fly out! Is your passport issuer that fast? Thanks for the beautiful scenery and the chuckles at cartoon Professor Riley in shirt, tie, swim shorts, and bare feet! I'm also surprised at so much lockdown still. Stay safe, my friends!
As you read this I hope it’s congratulations on the new baby boy and everything is healthy for Mum n Bub. Hope quarantine hasn’t cost you guys the price of a new carbon fibre maxi and hanging out with a little kid frustrated with the indoors hasn’t destroyed you too. Our gov has been so cruel with so many expats stuck overseas. You are lucky to be home.
As it should be!
This video was absolutely beautiful, what a silly little grin I had on me face the whole time. Absolutely delighted to finally become a patron this week. Big love guys <3
ali happer 2 minutes ago i love how extra aussie you guys sound in this episode, making all the cliche sayings & phrases even more. i can tell you were excited to get back home! this is a bittersweet episode to watch, but so so SO excited for what's to come!! xx
Excellent episode, as you all share the final days on Vaga II. Your videos are always excellent in telling your story and including friends we’ve grown familiar with and love. *Sigh* I knew we’d have to say “goodbye” to the beautiful Outremer 45, still, it is exciting to think about your future stories building your new home. Thanks for sharing the journey 💕
When's the auction? I may have a buyer! Plus, I'm currently and hour outside of Charleston.
Another wonderful video. Love following the journey
Crazy nice looking Tri boat! I remember that Tri's needed to use a drag parachute in a storm to slow them down. Is that still something considered? Congrates you....4?
Great video. Excellent docking, always a tough act in high wind with a big boat
So happy that you are back in Australia and a reliable healthy care system. Loved the last voyage, great to see Andre and Lenny swim. Awesome and excited for next boat. 💖💖
Classic Riley, Butt ventilation! You DID nail it Elayna. Great to see Andre and Iona too and what a very big boy Lenny is these days! Congratulations on all the decisions and it just feels right to have you home in Australia for Clemfandango's arrival. Can't wait for the next news and you've got this, Elay!
So many new exciting things! So happy for you guys ❤️
I’m sure you have plenty of fam and friends here but if you ever need help from a random adelaidean stranger let me know. Even if it’s just to keep Lenny out of trouble while you nap (I have a hyper 12 month old boy which I’ve managed to keep alive so far). Also I’ve still got a bouncer and baby play mat you are welcome to borrow while here so you don’t have to buy. OH and 2x 000 3.0 tog winter sleeping bags you are welcome to.
Oh Man, I started crying too when you docked her in the marina. Lots of great memories but you will make new ones on your new boat. Fair winds and following seas!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How long do you think you’ll be out of the water for? I think I heard Elayna say the plan is to head to Vietnam when the little Bub is 7 weeks and then was it an estimated 6 month boat build? So around 8 months from now? Hopefully this Bub is more excited to join the word then Lenny was!!
So happy you guys were able to make it back home for the birth of babe. I get very sentimental over sold boats, homes etc too, Elayna. I feel ya. So funny about leaving the ladder down…true for any boat. We laugh when people do this even on our small little 500 acre lake. Haha. Great video as usual! Can’t wait to see baby numéro deux!
I just read earlier this week that Vietnam has close their borders due to another outbreak. Are you worried this will effect the build?
