5 Days at Sea, Just Riley and Me (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 38
5 days at sea, sailing Panama to Galapagos (845 nm). It was good to set sail and be free of all things technology for a while (minus the cameras and video editing on the lappy….. But luckily I love that stuff). It was very calm for most of the trip. A BIG difference in weather if you compare it to the Caribbean, especially around Columbia!! Looking back, that was absolutely crazy. We couldn’t believe the amount of wild life we saw on this trip alone. More info on the pirate scare coming in the next episode and some footage of the spectacular congregation of fauna we managed to witness!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE GALAPAGOS.
Made possible by YOU.
Thank you all so much for the support, watching these videos I make and for following our voyage. It makes this adventure all the more worth it, to have you guys along for the ride.
Lots of Love, Elay xx

In regards to pirates we have considered guns on but decided no why there's no why we could put gun them and there's no protection in a fiber glass boat they may just need food or money either way there's no help anywhere near bright lights sat phone and hope
Have you listened to the BBC Desert Island Discs podcasts? You will not have heard of most of the people in them but some of them are really good.
I shall add it to my list, thanks Simon!
Cool video, thanks for sharing this great adventure... how are you getting on with the secret? I am thinking of following in your footsteps one day and the outremer cat looks like the best bit of kit for it. You guys would be a great promotion for it. I hope they come to think that way too! Meanwhile "bon vent" and be safe.
Thanks Georges! Still a work in progress...
wonderful video. next time on the fish riley, and yes there will be a next time. beautiful sunsets and really good looking food. enjoy your adventure........
You're journey has been such a pleasure to watch its easy to forget about dangers like modern pirates, have you guys thought about any changes to your safety measures? Stay safe amigos!
We're very appreciative to get all the feedback we did. We were really happy to have the discussion but also conscious not to be the ones to influence what decision others make.
I so wanted to see you land that fish
Thanks mate, I thought you might enjoy my catch on this one: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf1BQqm1hkk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf1BQqm1hkk</a>
Riley and Elay, loved the video! They just keep getting better and better!
Was the drag on the reel working properly? If not, that is why you lost the entire spool of line. If you can increase the drag gradually, you can tire out the fish and have a chance to reel it in.
Chester I was wondering myself. Maybe it was "frozen" from too much salt water exposure and Riley couldn't tighten down.. No matter what it was a shame, now we will never know what the fish was!
That was the best video yet!! Really gave a sense of life onboard during a calm passage. Thanks!
Thanks Jay!
Was that Alfred who just became fish food? You have to get way longer line for next time!
I'm on the case Jimmy! I almost bought Marlin Braid Spectra - 800 yds. - 500 lb from melton tackle's website but it was going to cost $350 USD + $150 shipping +30% import tax + broker fee. It was creeping up to almost $1000 AUD!! I want a big fish but that's well over my budget. I'm open to ideas if you have any for the French Polynesia region? Cheers, Riley
Sanka youre dead? ...yah man! Love that movie but must have been 10 years since I saw it.
Some people say they know they cant believe, Jamaica we have a bobsled team!
Another reely good vid Riley
Cool Runnings!!
You guys rock.
