1 HOUR of UN-EDITED BOAT LIFE (Sensory)

Great episode.... Awesome 🫶

This episode was super relaxing..! I loved it..! 💖⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of my favorites. Love all the underwater photography.

WE Loved it !! Magical , we agree with all the above positive comments , really gives one an insight and lovely feeling of what (most) of your days are like and I agree with Elayna , I don't mind seeing the reality of the kids crying but really loved this episode so mixing between the faster paced and this gorgeous serene type will be fun ...esp. LOVED the school of jacks surrounding Riley - but also more of the kids <3

The longer cuts really do place the viewer in the atmosphere of what is going on. Your show has really morphed into a story of a family growing together. There is definitely more emotion in staying on the shots a bit longer. Exceptional!

This was hands down the best episode I've seen from you guys in.... forever? Ever? A long time!!!! My favorite. Soothing, exciting, relaxing, intriguing, peaceful. I loved this SO much and definitely hope you'll do more like this.

Such an Amazons Episode ❤️ ist dont Feel like an Hour 🤣

Was that the best episode so far? Gotta be close.

I’ve had this on repeat every day this week while I’ve been working … it’s so beautiful

I loved this video. If all the videos were 1 hour, it might be tricky to find the time, but I think the slower pace worked really well for the underwater and overhead drone shots. Plus, the natural sounds added a dimension of reality that was very nice. Amazing to see such majestic nature! Thank you!

Loved the video.

Loved the slower relaxed pace! Would love to see more like this one. The underwater shots were so relaxing - like watching an aquarium. The mellow music was great, too! And loved the extended shots of the kids. Didn't have to rewind as much as I normally do.

I think most of your patrons would be happy if you strapped a bunch of GoPros to different areas of the boat and the only editing was cutting from one camera to the next throughout the day. Basically, the closer you can get to the Truman Show, the better 😆

This was the best video I’ve seen from you guys in a long time (my opinion) thanks for sharing.

Big fan of the slower style video. You have my vote.

Loved it!! Late to the party because I was moving, but this was really sweet!!! Please do another one sometime. Thank you for being you and sharing yourselves with us!

I love this pace! So beautiful!

Really enjoyed the long episode especially liked the raw sailing footage 👍👍 and the more realistic vibe.

Love this format! So relaxed and natural. Not contrived at all (which the highly polished ones can feel at times). 👍❤️

Loved this!

So realistically close to spending a day in your surroundings and your life! I just feel so indescribable relaxed and soothed🥰

My in laws used to wander through the Bahamas and the Raggeds, back in the 1980’s. We joined up with them a couple of times. Great adventures.

This was ace, enjoyed more insight into the sailing and seeing you guys with your kids. Would defo like to see more of this. Thank you!

I personally wish all of the videos were still longer like this! In a world where everything is now so fast-paced, it's nice to realize a slower paced life like yours is still possible. Such a wholesome experience. Thank you for continuing to put out content for us <3

We really enjoyed this episode, remote location, extra detail and long shots were beautiful. Seeing lots of the sailing, daily routine and more of the kids was fun. A mix of this style among others would be great. Thank-you for finding such beautiful out of the way places. Nice to see some hogfish again!

Loved this. an honest episode of your reality. Take more of this in a heartbeat.

I LOVED that! thank you xx

Yes, yes, yes. I much prefer this style of film-making to the quick-cut, slick, superficial style of some of your episodes lately. Please do more of this. Please feel free to run sequences with lots of ambient sound and no music. Please feel free to sit for a while on the beauties of your anchorages. Please talk to your crew on camera a little bit more. But you could make it a little bit shorter and still put out a satisfying in-depth narrative — 30 minutes would be optimal for me.

Love this video. I likened it to a meditation, quiet, peaceful and just felt like I was at sea with you. I also love how you are raising your children, you are such great parents. Love watching you raise them.

Love it, some of your best work.

Loved this ep! Feeling like early SLV vids again, and the slow pace is such a nice break / wind down / escape from fast paced life!

That was beautiful, heart felt and special getting those relaxed glimpses of your family life ⛵️⛵️⛵️ thanks for sharing …

Loved the episode. It was Perfect. Thanks

Love this! Feels more like your early years in its “day in the life” style. Would love more of these. A mix of the “produced” vs “day in the life” would be awesome.

My wife and I LOVED this format. Great pace, great content, great editing, and very chill and relaxing music. It was a wonderful way to relax and unwind after a stressful day moving paper from one stack to the next. Thank you! More of these please - so long as their not too hard to produce.

Loved this episode. Loved the music. I would love to see more like this. 5stars. Would recommend. Great idea.

This reminds me of the earlier episodes, just love how real and raw it is :) Feels very personal <3

absolutely loved it, slow ones are my favourite too! love the ambient music, so calming. Please film more of these, hope it didn't take much longer to make. How about once a month? 🙌

Love it!

Watching this for the 2nd time -- lovely, relaxing. Did the people on the other boat ever interact with you? Such wonderful water, ripples, little waves. ahhh. What was wrong with the coconut? Have you ever thought about catching a shark -- small one, eating some of it, sun drying the rest.

It was a wonderful hourlong holiday from my real life. I loved it. I worry about all those big sharks though. When you freedive it seems magical and you are so thoroughly part of the waterlife. Thank you

love the long ones!! quite peaceful

Like

I am just so envious of the adventures you experience! Beautiful day, thanks for the “realness”. 😊❤️

What a beautiful movie guys! Well done! really loved the music choice as well. ❤️

Loved it!!

Brilliant - loved all of this - the sailing, the goofy jokes, the wake-up with Darwin … all of it ❤️❤️❤️

Last night I watched this with my husband on our big screen TV. Watching this video was like watching a beautiful documentary! The flow was great! Your style reflects how true you are in your shorter YouTube videos. I would definitely watch more. I just love you guys and your beautiful family. My husband asked me…is this one of the regular YouTube channels you watch? I, of course, said “Yes” he replied, “I can see why! This was great!” High praise coming from Mr. Skeptical about most things. 🤣🤣🤣 love you guys. Keep these beautiful videos coming! Please!!! 💗💗💗

This was so amazing 😍 I love love love this style

Loved this episode ❤ 🙌

This video was everything I needed and more. Please please keep ‘em coming 🥰⛵️

One of my favorite episodes, so intimate, relaxing and the blue hole dives were absolutely epic! Bravo!!

Really liked this episode my preferred pace for sure. I do like a change up though too. Perhaps a monthly edition coordinated with exploring a new location that needs more time to get the feel of.

Love love love! So peaceful and I felt like I was just along for the day with you all.

Loved it! Very relaxing.

I loved it! Probably most of us here in Patreon would since we are your biggest fans! :) It made me think, in the YT mountain biking world, most youtubers will have their main channel + a "raw" channel, where they share minimally edited rides. This way, the biggest fans will also watch the second channels but you don't hurt retention on the main one

Loved the video! The slow pace was really nice and the longer length was fun. I'd really enjoy if you did a truly unedited recording of sailing sounds, with no real dialogue (maybe some distant voices if anything). Could be an hour or even longer, just to have on as background noise. The sounds of the water rushing by was so soothing, I could listen to that all day!

Loved it ❤️❤️❤️

Also absolutely loved this!

Absolutely love this. One of my favorite ones ever.

Absolutely transformative video, could watch this all day everyday <3 Thank you for sharing

We are retired, but the slower pace reminds us of our sailing days. Thanks

Loved loved loved this episode!!! I would love more like this!! Take care, travel safe and keep up the good work!! 🥰🥰👏💜

I enjoyed watching the longer slower paced video. I think it would be nice to throw those in there with your usual videos.

The calmness of this slower pace is what actually brought me to become a patron of yours! It's what I liked very much from your earlier videos. So please, do more of this and I'll probably never be bored ;)

Sooo good, we really enjoyed this episode. Such a realistic few into a normal day. I was really concerned after the episodes with a lot of advertising ag1 and influencer partnerships... It didn't feel authentic. This episode was so authentic and we hope to see more of it. Hugs and greetings from Austria

Great video. Sailing, schools of fish, kids mucking about. Stuff of life. Really enjoyed it

loved this episode and would love to see more

favorite episode!! love the slow speed!! happy Hot Mom Summer Elayna https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdqwTSNB/

Probably my favourite episode by far! x

i watched it,,,, then i watched it again. the only problem is how much im ignoring my other responsbilities (: hahaha much love xxx

The slower pace fitted well with my train delay! On a different note, I have found that if you ditch all the starchy carbs and replace them with fat, (avocado, butter, nuts, fish skins or fatty meat) you can easily do intermittent fasting!

Much needed - love this!

This was absolutely amazing! So yes, would love to watch something like this again. Cheers! 💕

Aces!!!👍🏽💕😉

Question about the Mocha recipe, you said Cacao powder but the container shown is Hersheys Cocoa Special Dark. Is that where you keep your Cacao or did you use Hersheys Cocoa?

I LOVE this. It keeps it real for us sailors! Great job!🥰😍😎

Amazing. Loved this episode. Enjoyed the calmness and the slower moments. I closed my eyes for a bit and just enjoyed the sound of the ocean while you were sailing. I hope to enjoy more of these types of episodes!

This was incredible. It felt like we were right there alongside you all. Love what you do week to week but this felt so real, in the moment. Thankyou

I love this. I can watch this kind of content over and over. Sitting for an hour is just not a problem especially when you are watching a life style that you want to live. Thanks for sharing.

absolutely LOVED this, thanks so much for sharing <3 "Mama I got this" hahah

I would not call this unedited. I would call this spectacular! But, I love sailing because of the slower pace. Please keep more of these coming. I spent days watching this in segments and each day better for me. Thanks.

Loved this ep! Would definitely love to see more like this in the future! The slower pace was so calming. Whenever I watch an ep I'm always left wanting more so I loved how long this one was :)) <3

Awesome. Well done video. Inspiration: try out no commentary at all. Explain by showing. Put a 360 Kamera close to helm where viewers can see both horizon in front and activities in the cockpit, but far away enough from helmsperson to not let person occupy view angle too much. Press rec when you start prepping to leave anchor. Press stop 15 minutes out in the see. You will get the atmosphere experienced by a silent guest on board who watches you while drinking a beer. Muffled conversations inside. A person going front. Silence. Peace. Excitement during engine start. Close to the real thing.

Fantastic video guys, truly loved it! Definitely would like to see this style of video more often, mixed with the regular ones you do. Keep it up!

for me this was the best video of all to be honest. i enjoyed a lot watching it slowly. standard ones were also good too. i mean you are very good at editing/ they are also beautifull. But I could watch even another hour like this. So for me yes i definitely want to see more of these slow ones. love you guys. greetings from Prague.

Love the slower pace of the this video! You make beautiful videos to watch- much appreciated

Love love loved the longer episode. Felt like you could have been there with you guys! Definitely should do it again… multiple times 💕💕

Love this one. Makes you calm down

Loved this! Really felt part of it, great to live vicariously through this slower paced relaxing video of what seemed a very full day. Thank you 😊

Great episode. We loved the change of pace and how you conveyed your sense of peace with your surroundings through this medium. You are fabulous storytellers.

My favorite episode!! Family goals <3

I absolutely loved spending an entire day with all of you. The camera stayed on the subject for longer so I could enjoy that person or that scene and take it all in. I also LOVED the sound and the look of the boat as she sailed and cut thru the water. It felt like I was there.

I absolutely loved this!!!! I think it's my favourite. The longer timeframe gave me so much time to reflect the experiences I've had in the ocean that are beyond words what I can do to just make this kind of life myself.

Absolutely lovely, every moment of this video. But then I feel that same vibe on each one of your videos :)

Loved it guys!

This is amazing. I’m cooking dinner, put this up on the big screen. It’s such a vibe. I’ve been following almost 5 years now. All the positive vibes, love, and well wishes to the best family on the high seas.

Best episode ever! Sailing, diving, underwater life, spear fishing, cooking, scenery, and plenty of precious little ones footage! ….. more! Didn’t want it to end! Thanks guys ❤️❤️

OMG loved it <3 made me feel so at peace! absolutely loved it

YES loved it

You’ve mastered your craft Elayna—- this is beautiful

Loved this so much! So nice to kick back with a glass of wine and enjoy the film :)

Please Please every monday an hour episode 🤗😀🤗🤗🤗🤗🌻🌼🌺

Love this pace and unscriptedness :)

Loving the slower vid guys! It was great to spend an hour with you. I especially loved the raw footage of sailing. Being able to listen to the waves and all the sounds the boat makes when moving through the water really made me feel like I was on board. I’d happily watch more longer length videos. Or shorter ones. Really just enjoy whatever content you put out, if I’m being honest. Lots of love from Alaska 😘😘

Loved this so much! Really love all of your work - adding in some episodes in this style, definitely yes! We’ve been living our dream life vicariously through your videos for years - what a bright spot in the world you guys are! Going to keep watching and supporting whatever the style and it’s been so fun to see the progression and development over the years! Much love and thanks!

Just made Elay’s coffee mocha. Good stuff!

Reminded me of the first videos I saw on your channel. There are several moments that made me smile and breathe easy. Good stuff.

Loved it. Having a coffee watching this full episode one early morning. It was great to spend the day with y’all. What a dream!

Loved this sooooo much! I always think I wish your episodes were longer! So calming!!🥰🙌🏼

Wow I loved it! Super beautiful and with a feeling of the good old SLV videos. I felt the sailing spirit!

Fantastic video. This is the reason I became a fan and precisely why I am a patreon for the past few years. Thanks for bringing us along. Cheers!!!

i prefer this format! Feels more authentic, so soothing to watch the waves and hear the natural sounds of sailing, even the under water go pro audio. like it alot!!

Reminds me, been there done that on sailing trips minus the kids. :) Totally get Riley's munchies in the middle of a night. They happen. Word.... :)

Probably my favourite video you guys have put out in a long time. The music, pacing, and authentic feel is 10/10. Please do more just like this.

I love the slower paced videos, it feels like we're there in the present and its the most real and amazing! please keep it up, great work ! :) x

Absolutely fantastic, thank you! More like this, please.

So real. Thank you. Please do more! Maybe a good way to regrow all of our attention spans ?

That was amazing !! the slower paced videos really make you as viewer appreciate the wonders of this Earth that you guys have managed to capture. Definitely would love to see more like this :))

Like it? I loved it! I love the longer sequences down at the corals, following a fish around and around. I can watch the wake of a boat for way too long. Do some more of these as you are able! Lenny climbing up the lava rocks, saying "Mama I got this"! Too good.

Fun-tastic!

This was really enjoyable! I don't think it's for everyone, but I'd love to see a few long ones throughout the year. Maybe once every every three months or so. This one reminded me of your less scripted early one's that kept me coming back until I eventually realized I wanted to support what you do here on Patreon. Good stuff!

Loved this episode! More of these please. You guys are soooo lovely, thanks for sharing your lives so gently.

Terrific episode. Great soundtrack. Love the pace. Scenery ain’t bad either.

Off to sleep now with a big fat smile on my face!

I loved this, I felt like I was there! Much more real feeling.

So relaxing and realistic. Loved it!

That was absolutely amazing and relaxing felt like we were there with you. All the extra time was great as well it is ALWAYS to short but we know takes alot to put out the videos so THANKS for another beautiful adventure. You are making the neverending coldness of Michigan tolerable this year Safe Travels 💙

Love it! More like this please!

I loved every minute of this episode, it was very relaxing to watch. It was also really nice to kind of get a feeling of how boat life is you guys!! Hope to see more episodes like this one soon!

Love this episode. Thanks for the insight a day in the life of the SLV is truely peaceful (I know it wouldn’t be like that always) but the vibe is hypnotic! Thanks Elay and Riley for letting us into your lifestyle and home. Xx

wow wow WOW!!! I loved this episode so so much. Please do a few more of these!

I don't mind the pacing and appreciated the less scripted or heavily edited videos - BUT - I also enjoy your more tightly edited and produced videos just as much. Maybe the solution is to keep shaking it up. "Variety is the spice of life." Regarding its length, your style(s) lends itself to pausing when I run out of time, then picking up later, and no need to rewind as the storyline is self evident. Finally, one sailing channel I used to follow had evolved to very long videos that included many, many, many minutes of them riding their motorcycle through the town, and even though sped up (as there wasn't even any dialogue) it was mind-numbing.

An old day sailor from Houston/Clear Lake

Loving the long-form, laid-back change of pace. None of my business, but I'll ask because I'm curious. Do you guys have a specific approach to conflict resolution or is it just borne out of your personalities. I've heard you both laugh while in pain, laugh about previous arguments, etc.. Also, I have heard Riley immediately fess up and own behaviors, attitudes, and of course, mistakes. Most men have problems doing that. And with stress of an enclosed space, 2 young children, and a 24/7 business, I am so, so impressed. I know we don't see all the negative (enough of that in the world), I am both applauding, curious, and a bit envious (divorced). Thanks for you time, love everything you do!

Love this video! This is cool seeing you all living your best life! I love being a Patreon supporter 😉 thanks for always trying to improve each video and also sharing things that aren’t really comfortable to share! I cannot wait to see you all continue to travel, explore and build your new boat! Elayna, you look incredible! I’m sure Riley sees how beautiful you are, inside and out. Enough about your looks! Million upon millions of women could only dream of looking as beautiful as you. Riley is a stud and your a perfect Princess beauty, made for each other and made for the World to learn about this incredible life you’ve chosen. Both kids are incredible, beautiful and can’t wait to watch them blossom into incredible sailors!

Awesome video! I would love to see such a video between every now and then.

I absolutely loved this, felt so relaxed watching this and soo nice to see more of the connection between your family. Definitely enjoyed spending a day on board with you all!!

Enjoyed the pace of this dawn to dusk adventure. Extremely relaxing and enjoyable episode.

Totally depends on my mood and attention span at the moment but I loved this one more than I have liked others lately. Felt real/raw. Keep it up!

Loved it, thanks! Worth watching it. Gorgeous images as usual... <3

Fantastic!!!

Loved it. Do one of these long limited editing videos once in a while. You'll know when to do it because you'll feel like doing it when everything feels right for it. Everything about it was great. Cheers.

Loved the slow pace, so relaxing to watch! Feels like a documentary almost! Definitely more of this please 😊

One of our favourite episodes ever!

I prefer the tempo of your other videos however a video in this format once a month or every second month would be nice to see. I felt very relaxed after this episode!

I loved this more slow-paced episode so much and I've been around from episode 1. THANK YOU for sharing the things you are with all of us. Regards from Denmark. I'm glad you enjoyed the Knækbrød:-D

I personally love the longer slower paced videos. Much more natural and probably easier for you to edit. It took me 2 full days to get through it all due to interruptions, which is why I love your channel. It reminds me that life does not need to be as crazy and hectic as we make it. I will now watch it again full through in one go.

I like the format experiment

Loved it! It was nice joining you for a day in the life!

I loved this format as well. Thanks for sharing with us first.

I really loved this video! It felt more real, like you said, less produced and the editing of this un-edited video is still great. Loved the pace, loved the real life vibes and clips, doesn't need to be fancy, you guys are pro enough that even this is great content and has great images. I like slower paced videos, but thats just my personal taste. I wouldn't mind more of this at all!

Love it.

Love it!!!

This was a fantastic video and I loved it!

I've been watching you guys literally from day 1 and a Patreon member for a few years, and I think this is the best material you've ever put out!

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I liked it! Just had it on in the background for the audio. Thanks!

Outstanding! Can’t wait to get out there

LOVE this format. And it got me to wondering how much less editing time this is (if at all) compared to “regular” episodes. Which then got me thinking that I personally (am I the only one?) would like to see an episode on “Making An Episode”. How much time, what considerations, when is b-roll shot, when do you decide to launch the drone, etc, etc? I’m probably asking a lot, but the choices and time that goes into an episode, I think, would make watching them more rewarding. 🤷‍♂️

Loved this episode, it was so relaxing to watch.

Yes please, give us heaps more of this format!!!

Started my morning with this, absolutely loved it. Set the tone for a calm peaceful day.

Fantastic. Just loved it. Felt like I was on the boat & then diving in the water with you both.

One of my favourite videos you guys have shot. Very calming to watch! More please.

Absolutely LOVE IT. Could watch it all again! The pace and rhythm, the storyline, the rawness, the openness, all. Well done. I would love to see more on this line!

I really enjoyed this ep, great to have on whilst im working away😌

And Ky

Oh wow want more what a wonderful episode thank you for sharing your family adventures and to the crew for helping out immy you are so important to allow momma to do her thing and to Kai (apologies if have spelt that incorrectly I mean no offence) for bringing sailing skills. I wish I could take away every ridiculous comment others have made please please please remember how wonderful you all are and the joy you bring to so many people keep going I’d be lost with out you guys.

Late to the party but loved the video. Strangely didn’t really notice it was slow paced - just felt more more ‘real’. For me your videos are a little piece of sunshine so just reflect your experience and the rest will look after itself.

That was great! Riley Fibre, lots of soluble fibre…. Nutritionfacts.org

Not even done yet, but MORE OF THIS!! Love the slow paced video's, maybe a Friday Boat life movie. Loving the longer videos, which definitely conveyed the sensations of sailing on a boat through your eyes.

Loved the pass with this video. So relaxing and it flew by so quickly. Felt like I was really there. The boy's are growing so quickly. What a wonderful life experience they are having. ⛵🌏🌴🥽💧🤿🐚🐠🎣☀️🇦🇺

Others beat me to it. Watched all your videos, i think, and this has been my favorite. Less youtuber-ish (maybe a word), more cinematic, and it just feels more connected to you and the journey.

Bugger... as you can see, I'm an infrequent commenter but this episode is up there with the Greta series. I loved the realism of the daylight to dusk concept. Great work kids, I look forward to another down the track!

Like Andrew

Really loved this video!! Would love to see more of the slower pace of things. Curious to know why you're gonna do intermittent fasting? I would think with your lifestyle you need to keep fueling yourself! Also not sure it's really been proven to be beneficial... Can't wait to see more!

Never commented before and just wanted to say, I think that was the best episode you guys have ever done, loved every minute of it!!!!

Ahh, how I loved the pace of this video! Some of your recent videos seem quite hectic to me with the fancy cutting and upbeat music. The quiet and slow is what I yearn for, when I am not able to get out there on the sea myself and it would be nice to be able to get more of that feeling through your videos. And how I miss the instrumental music with upcoming artist in your videos! Love to all of you!

I think I fixed my mess, but every time I hit enter to begin a paragraph, it saves and closes my post and begins a new one! I’m on an iPad. So frustrating! If you can’t tell, tho, I abs loved this one! So beautiful! To tears!

Loved it!

Oh, my. I don’t know if it is my current mood, the soundtrack, or the intense beauty…. But this video made me so… pensive…. So almost sad. I can’t find the word. but, your family, so beautiful! The scenery, so precious! Our earth and all that’s in it! And then, the worlds condition which we can never escape…. It was such a feeling of opposites! cried! Cried for my lost son…. He passed at age 28. He would be so sad to see the world’s condition and suffering, but would be so enthralled with the beauty you have shown us! Oh, my. What a trip, man!

loved it so much!

Terrific! Reminded me of the Patreon-only videos from a couple years back. I know that it still took time and effort to edit this one but if you guys wanted to throw up ones like this every once in a while for Patreon only even if they are even less produced, I would not feel cheated in any way whatsoever paying my “per episode” fee. Might also feel like the membership afforded us a little more special exclusivity although you guys are super generous with your time already and you don’t owe us anything more.

Loved it! I think you should do more like this if you enjoy doing them I enjoy watching them!

Really enjoyed the tempo of this episode! The slower pace reminds us of your videos from the early days. Seeing more of the ins and outs of a "normal" day helps to give viewers a better sense of connection to you and your experience, which we love!

love love love this episode!! loved the unedited parts and the go pro footage without the music editing.

This, was an absolute joy to watch💕. Loved everything about it, but particularly the music with the scenery, the sharing your day with you and feeling like we were there with you, getting to see the daily interactions with the boys and especially the humor and banter of your great relationship. You connect with us in this one on a more intimate personal level. We love your regular videos too of course, which is why we are a Patron of yours, but I could have easily watched another half hour of this, immersed in your world. Thank you for this long one! You could do 3 or 4 of these a year and I would easily watch each one to the end. Superb❣️

Hey I love this concept. I don’t know if it’s easier for you guys to film, or if you can personally cope with this style. But if you can cope, full speed ahead

So good! Could really relax and soak it in :)

So tranquil. Pure escapism with this episode. More please! If you guys could do one of these a month it would be so great. Found myself glued to the screen just smiling. Wish I could just jump into the tv screen.

I read that book by David Sinclair as well and he's got some great advice but the fasting part...hmmm! Love love love this episode. Please do more of this format. I did feel like I was sailing with you.

Loveee this pace. It aligns with the feeling I got when I started watching you guys back in 2016. Felt like I was onboard with you and never wanted it to end.

Guys this was a great episode!!!! For all of us “True Followers” this was well done and we (Emily and I) loved watching every minute. It will be interesting to see how it goes on YouTube…never the less maybe throw one of these in each month and let it ride. It truly shows a more personal side.

My favorite ever!

Think ya on winner guy’s. absolutely loved it.🇦🇺

I want to start out with saying I love your videos! I’ve loved them for the past 6 years, and they have gotten to be so entertaining and creative. BUT THIS! This was beyond relaxing to watch and you perfected letting us as viewers feel like we are actually sailing with you guys! I think a slower more raw video like this once a month would be perfect to see! Keep up the great work guys.

Love the long form..... the slower pace makes for a great visual while I ride my Peloton. Thank you and keep up the amazing work.

I loved this slow episode, & to get a glimpse of a normal day for you guys when you move anchorage. You must have all slept so well that night after the sail, swimming in the blue hole, having the cook up & exploring the island .. then routine back on the boat. Yes definitely more of this from time to time, it was a lovely surprise today🤗

This has been by far the best video you guys have ever made. I had such a poopy day at work and I watched this video and it was immediate zen❤️ thank you so much for this

I always enjoy all your content and I really enjoyed this as well! Well done on making me feel as if I were there with you. I even got cold when you were diving in that big blue hole! What is the water temperature out there I wonder? Thank you for sharing so much of your family. Your boys are adorable! Looking forward to your next video.

I was so excited when I got the email notification of this video this morning. Insane busy day then at the end of the day I hop on the treadmill and want to cry I am so happy to spend so much time with you and your lovely family. Yes please more of this slow format.

I just loved it so much! it is not slow, it is deeper, rawer, more in touch with the essence of what a joy is to be alive, and what a marvelous miracle this world is. Thank you so much! I think this is the path to go!!!

Absolutely loved it. Some slower videos get a bit boring, i could watch one of yours every day! ❤️

This is sensational, almost back to the OG days in Greece 👌 not to say the new stuff is bad, but this is kind of nostalgic! Love it legends

Always happy with your content. Really enjoyed this video! Love how normal and real everything was, plus you guys are hilarious! Ps: I dunno about anyone else, but filming the kiddos in all their natural craziness is wonderful!

What a great episode after a long day at the office!!

Absolutely loved it. Very atmospheric, very real, I felt like I was there. Thanks for trying something 'new'

Loved this so much guys

love love love it!! hope to see more long & slow pace

I loved it!!! Everything in life seems too fast, it felt really nice and calming to watch. I think it probably gives a better idea of the reality of day to day sailing life also. Loved, loved, loved!

I just love love loved this episode—especially all the video of fish and sea life. I love the images of the water and waves and beach also. I love seeing Lenny and Darwin. The video of the rocking waves while in motion on the boat made me a little dizzy though. Not too slow for me. Loved it.

My seventy five year old brain loved every minute of this "slow" episode. Very authentic and real feeling. We no longer go to the ocean with our boat but LOVE the vicarious experiences you gift us with your videos.

Enjoyed it very much. You kept it interesting and it move along. Do another.

I love this format, didn't even feel like 55 minutes. What a great episode!

Wow! EXACTLY! Totally support this format as a compliment to your Five Star + gazillion established successful formula!, As you Aussies like to say, “ legends” ! Maybe the 68 year old brain needs a slower, more descriptive account of the amazing places you go. Either way it was fantastic! Thank you!

Loved the long episode! The best part of the slow pace was how it captured the location and action in very natural light. There is more of a sense that I am there and part of the magic. Thank you for sharing your life :)

Loved this! Whenever it’s Monday I’m waiting with anticipation and then the video is over too quickly. Then this popped up and made my week! Thank you 😊

Great episode - very relaxing, nice pace!

Please Well I’m pleased as well lol

Love it !!!!!! More pleased

I did love it. I’ve to see the slower pace-once in a while

Love it love it love it love it, just spent an hour smiling 😊. Thanks guys x x x x x

I love this so much. Best part of my day. Great video.

love this one , really nice vibe

One of theeeee best episodes 😍🏞️🌄😍 absolutely love the slow pace..feels so relaxing and mich more realistic...I feel like I spend the day there...like a mini vacation. Good job 👌😍😍😍

One of your best episodes! I’ve always liked your video style, but felt like it moved too fast to enjoy all your beautiful images. This one had a whole different feel to it.

Probably one of my favourite episodes. Authentic and pure- Thank you for taking us along with you x

Loved the new concept so please do more like this. Xxx

absolutely love the un-edited boat life video. Maybe my favourite video. so raw and real :) miss boat life.

absolutely loved this!!! Think I could watch it over many times. Thank you!!!

love love love!

Absolutely killer video and I felt the reality of being independant and where time has no meaning! I have spent many years cruising and doing race returns where you just feel the serenity and freedom of living in the moment....not worrying about where you have to be or what's happening in the world is of no concern, at least not for an hour or a day or a week!! Yes, please continue this new direction! Oh...the drone footage is spectacular as well as the diving! I blew through my days for sea travel without a thought (stupid ungrateful youth!) and this video was a great reminder of similar times and travels I took for granted and now only regret not realizing the value of life in those precious times/trips!! Keep'm coming....you and La Vagabond are flourishing and those who have never had such an experience as you showing, have never really lived!! Hugs and fair seas to you all!

Love the longer laid back episode! So natural, always love the diving and beach coming. and the Lenny cam.

I've been working my bum off lately, as I think you might say. In fact I'm taking off tomorrow, Friday. Just finished watching this movie. All I can say is thanks for a wonderful Thursday Eve leading to my Friday off and long weekend. 😊⛵🍹

This was lovely; relaxing, thoughtful and real. Would love to see more videos like this one.

Loved the pace of this one and enjoyed being able to kick back and watch some extended footage. Salivating at the close up of the lobster 🦞 OMG my favourite food and hardly ever have it here in Melbourne … it’s soooo expensive!🙄

I loved the pace of this video, it really felt like watching a day in your lives . Love to see more like this.

Absolutely loved that video! Watched the whole thing! So nice to have been brought along for a day in the life. Great to see the more in depth day to day events.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking an hour to sit and relax and enjoy the ocean views 🥰 would love to see this more often. Love you guys!! xx

I think this was my favorite episode ever! I enjoyed every single minute of it. Usually I feel like I watched something fun and entertaining thats quite short lived - with this episode I felt like I was there with you guys. Thank you for sharing 🌻

Best episode ever! Your boys are so unbelievably cute!!! 😍

Really enjoyed this one!! You guys should also do like a David Attenborough style nature documentary. Use it as a challenge to capture the best footage you can without having to worrying about commentary or getting yourselves in the shot. Definitely looking forward to more of these!

So soothing, almost meditative. Loved it and smiled allthrough the episode. More off this please!

I loved this episode, reminded me of your episodes from 2+ years ago in terms of pace and seeing the everyday rhythm of your lives, the unedited/less edited version and you all just being your natural selves - silly jokes, fam jam, ocean and philosophical life questions all mixed together. Pretty awesome.

You did a really great job on this episode. We relaxed and relived some diving memories. Enjoyed watching the kids on the beach, blue hole diving, daily conversation, etc. We’ve been following you for awhile before Patreon and continue to enjoy your style. Thank you.

Thanks guys! Love the pace! 😊 please make some of these

I loved every minute of this. It did have more of an authentic feel over just "a show" or "entertainment." I especially loved the better part of a minute of just hearing SLV cutting through the waves; it took me back to the last time I sailed, which was far too many years ago. This may be a video I revisit more than once, which is something I just don't do. As always, thank you for sharing! ☮️🚐🐶❤️

This was wonderful! Finally I don't have to back up and watch parts again because it flew by so fast. Really left with a comfortable relaxed feeling instead of the more frenetic pace of some of the shorter ones. Please more of these slower paced vids. So nice also to see longer shots of the babes! And if it saves on editing time then so much the better for you too. Thank you. You are all awesome.

i loved the slightly more lofi sense about this style of videography and keeps it real. While i love well produced content at the same time i also love raw footage that i feel brings us all along on your journeys. ATB

just when I think, "how can these humans get any better" you all give us this! Amazing, thank you always for showing us your life. Your family truly brightens my days.

I loved this long video! It was fun spending a day with you all. I feel like this video has the same vibe as your shorter videos. To me that speaks to authenticity of your channel no matter how long or short the videos are. I’m going to watch it again on our big screen TV to get the full effect. Love that you are being creative! 😍🌅😍 Keep up the great work! 💗

I really enjoyed it, it felt a lot more intimate and real. Thank you for this.

Loved it!!!!

Guys! This episode was absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I enjoyed it so much. It definitely felt like we were there with you and a nice relaxing pace. We’ve been with you guys for so long now that it’s great to feel as though we get a true day hanging out. Don’t get me wrong we love the produced episodes and I’m sure so does the algorithm.. but more like this would be amazing! Love y’all! -Riley + Kaitlyn

Riley, I think without the design of our current body (teeth for grinding, esophagus for transporting, stomach acid for liquifying, GI tract for absorption of nutrients, etc), our bodies would eventually evolve to not have these organs at all.

Best episode yet!

That was awesome! Definitely want more of those. I really liked the slower pace. Great job guys!

Amazing! Thanks for this. Love it and would happily watch more!

I love this video. Was so calming to watch.

Excellent video, thank you! The music you guys choose is always so wonderful, but the sound of the water alone is the best. The slap of water on the hulls, the wind skimming the surface, waves crashing. It resets my mind and calms. Thank you for always adding that element to your videos!

Subsistance: vitamins. When climbing in the Canadian Rockies for a month, we used Logan bread along with almond gunky. That's ground up almonds, margarine, brown sugar. [every once in a while were able to trade for some other foods]

I sure do enjoy seeing this life you guys are living.. It is a joy to just watch your every day life.. I hope you enjoyed not having much editing to do... more please

Oh yeah, if there is ever a chance to crew, say the word and I'm there. I'll do whatever you need, cook, clean, scrub the bottom of the boat, anything!!

Loved it so much. We are months away from our boat and this was like a vitamin shot. Thank you - as always - for your brilliant videos. You do my soul good!

Ahhh Jamaican me so happy with this video. I love love love this kind of video. It's more real and I want to experience this sailing life so sharing what it's really like is appreciated. Regarding nutrition, I don't think AG1 and lard will suffice, there is value to whole foods. I am an AG1 fan and enjoy it but I still need whole fresh foods. Regarding fasting: it sort of happens automatically for me but I'm a fan of "if I'm hungry I eat, if I'm not I don't". Regarding coffee, so much of that is routine. I drink quite a bit in my normal work routine but when I travel I don't, it's just a break in the pattern and thanks for the new recipe Elay. Regarding Elayna's skin, protect it, do everything you can, we all know what you look like so it's ok to cover up and protect yourself. I would so love to experience blue water sailing but at my age it won't likely happen and the wife is too attached to the house to ever make the leap to a boat. Please post more vids like this one, I loved it. Let me be clear, I love this kind of video. If it were 8 hours long I'd watch every second, if you had a live feed (ala Truman show) I'd watch that too. Thanks guys.

Absolutely loved it - having one of those every 4-6 weeks would be amazing, a real glimpse into your lives.

Great video! You do such a good job of editing these so we feel like we're there with you. Thanks!

It's only 12 minutes in, and I am absolutely transfixed! I love this. PLEASE do more of these!

Ohh! We are so excited to watch this with our kiddos! Its one of our favorite activities (snuggles + watching la vagabondes)!

WHhhhaaatttt it’s over already?!! I loved this . Very mesmerising and beautiful . Yes please , do more… like on a schedule.. once a month or once every 8 weeks. It could be something to look forward to. I’m sure it would be too much to do more frequently?🤷‍♀️it was very relaxing and I feel so chilled after watching it. Also, with a 1 yrs old of my own at home I see similarities of your life with the boys in my life that I don’t see in your usual videos. Well done guys! Thank you.

YES! This is the content I’m here for ❤️❤️❤️

Total nutrition drinks! Have you heard of Soylent? It’s a drink that came before AG1 as a total nutrition drink to use as a replacement to food. I have Crohn’s disease and used it for months when I couldn’t eat solids.

I've followed you since the beginning and your creativity surrounding all of the nature and reality of every circumstance, notwithstanding the background music, has been amazing! As each episode has ended, I've always hoped they would be longer. So, no matter what you choose to do, I will always be a fan. This episode merely adds to hitting all the marks of the life you have chosen. The best to your family!

Loved it

This episode was sublime . I could have watched another hour. More like relaxing with you on board and not feeling as though you felt the need to meet anyone's demands.

Honestly, this was one of my favorite, if not my definite favorite video. I’d love to see more of these, if they aren’t too much trouble for you! What an incredible life you lead, and you seem genuinely aware of just how special it is.

Great day in the life! Loved it. There just can't be too much content.

Un-edited? This is amazing.

For your intermittent fasting journey: Start it slowly and increase the time you are not eating bit by bit. Your body needs to adjust and learn to "feed" itself of fat stored in your body. Also hunger patterns are trained in your brain and can be relearned. If you are hungry drink water and wait for 20 to 30 minutes and it will go away. So give it time and it will come. :-)

Such a phenomenal video. Definitely yes please to more like this! It was so immersive and relaxing. The music you used was perfect too. Really felt like I was spending the day with you and I loved every minute of it. Cheers guys!

This *felt* like your older videos that got all of us hooked in the first place! Loved it!

Just over half way thru the vid and I had to pause to say how much I love this episode👍🏼 I want to crew so badly- can we still send in resumes for new crew in the future?

Very much looking forward to watching this immersive slower paced episode. Great idea.

Loved this long, slower paced format.

Great video. Well done.

Love, Love,Loved this slower paced video!!! But I could seriously just watch you guys on a continuous live feed loop 😂😂. This one made me feel like I was sailing right along with you all ⛵️… top 10 for sure 🙌

Bravo! This was my favorite episode of all time. I really enjoyed the documentary nature, and the pace. It allowed full escape to drop into your world. Thank you!

I really enjoyed it, great to see a whole day, but not sure I would want a long one every week, so maybe have one once a month.

Loved this video...black hole was amazing.

Love the slow pace! This video really gave me the feel of being there. The underwater videography was amazing seeing all the sealife and then also seeing you chilling out with your kids gave me the warm fuzzies. 😊

Enjoyed the pace, enjoyed the flow. Greatly appreciated all of the little mini-adventures (diving the blue hole)! The conversations and the insights were satisfying. Always love watching the kiddos. Great video, so happy to be a patron.

Epoch. My attention span grew by 3% today. More boat and sea. And some Lenny cam with stabilization turned off so we know what it's like to get seasick.

Love the slower pace, more everyday sailing and diving footage. Finding that blue hole and sailing over it was incredible. I've never been to the Ragged Islands before, so thanks for the adventure.

Lovely look into the daily biz. Love the majestic feeling. Thanks for sharing.

Loved it!! Best video to date!!

I love it! I feel like I spent a day in paradise.

Elayna: ...less filming just the best bits.. Riley: this is one of the best days ever Longer slower videos are great, loved this one

Love this longer version and simplicity of it all! 👍🏼👍🏼🏝🍻

Amazing! Beautiful work, wonderful life!

We love this video and are enjoying it right now.

Spot on guys….absolutely loved it in every way. I think variety is key and this style def has a big place.

Ohh I absolutely loved this!! Felt like an hour of mind yoga, thank you!

Probably your best yet. I absolutely loved this long form video. More than once I shed a tear or two. Thank You for sharing your lives with us.

Watched this in VR and the blue hole scenes where magical!! some shots where kinda goofy though 😂😂

I love how relaxing this video is! Exactly what I needed today, thanks!

This was one of my absolute favorite videos so far!!!!!

Nice and peaceful. I like it.

This is fantastic guy's ( I'm at work and had to take a quick look ha ) cant wait to get home to watch the rest . Any time we get to spend with you is great buy a long version is fantastic - more more ha

Omg how fun! I'm excited to watch it!
