1 HOUR of Mother Nature kicking our Asses (*Intense* Sensory Sailing)

I've cut my finger and half of the nail so will be spending a half fo f the day moving very little waiting for it to dry up and heal enough for resuming normal life. So glad I've got a lot of your videos to catch up on. Sorry the summer was so busy I've not seen anything from June. This was a great one to start with. 💜 xx

We LOVED this episode! Thank you for all the hard work you put in putting it together and filming so much of what makes up your days and nights. We thoroughly enjoy the “realness” of the content. Thank you for sharing the blessings of your life onboard with us! Including the tough times and challenges.

And also loved the Cheerio scene with the movie clip. Sounded just like Lenny!

Absolutely love these longer, slower videos with mellow music. You asked what we want to see more of. I loved when you caught Riley making those strange moves - I burst out laughing when you surprised him and had to rewind and watch again. So more funny stuff, natural stuff, spontaneous stuff. More of Lenny as photographer, and always more of the kids. Darwin looks to be a force of nature. He looks so much like Lenny did as a baby. And more of the kids.

laughing so hard I’m tearing up, oh my God Riley doin the dance moves on the bow!😂

Just a PS to my previous comment. If you haven’t left already you should def rent a golf cart and explore Harbour Island, or Briland as the locals call it.

Eleuthera (Harbor Island to be exact) was once my happy place before I developed health issues that made traveling too difficult. It’s expensive but charming, unspoiled and absolutely gorgeous! Definitely go to Pink Sands Beach and do a date night at Dunmore or Rock House. I miss Harbour Island & cannot wait to see your videos from Eleuthera! Just a PS to my previous comment. If you haven’t left already you should def rent a golf cart and explore Harbour Island, or Briland as the locals call it. You will be glad you did!

I always loved when you had a history lesson of the places you visited, you two just do it so much better than others. I feel like I need to rewatch from the beginning again!

Absolutely love these longer videos! One idea - as I am currently looking up sailing 101 refresher videos (after 6 years away from sailing), this would be something that you two would be amazing at! Teaching all the parts of the boat, the lines, the sails and when to use them, the points of sail, etc. You two are such pros and have great personality, I would love to have a 101 series to watch from you!

Please more of these. Really love these kinds of movies. So raw and honest 🤗👏🌸💮🏵

These really make us feel like we're there.

Loved loved loved this video! And Elayna - yes you should make what ever video you feel like. Change is good. Necessary and unavoidable. You can change it again if it “flops” but really, is there such a thing? I always remember how many rejection letters Dr. Seuss got before his wonderful and whimsical books were published. Thank god he didn’t give up, right? Also, I hope you will show more of the trash in and around the oceans. We in many cultures, although not all, consume way too much - and there is just too much “stuff” that gets thrown away, lost, abandoned, littered etc. We are a throw away society and it needs to change. Our oceans, beaches, and wildlife/nature are paying a high price for our quick fix/gratification addiction. Thanks you guys. You are so awesome! ❤️

It is so comical sometimes seeing how put together you guys are when you need to make big moves like this. I have been following from “start here” since before the outremer was even thought about. To see all of this “ okay this is exactly what we need to do”- in Riley’s serious voice, knowing that it is based on nothing but immense amounts of trial and error is so reassuring that this is exactly what I want to do and that you two are truly inspiring. So real, so awesome, so relatable. You two are out there with a full family absolutely sending it and it makes me soo happy. Sorry if my northeast drunken American lingo is hard to decipher. You two are the best. Also my cat chuck loves the fish so tell Riley to catch some more.

I forgot to mention Elayna please sing another song soon and Riley? Dang man. You might be better than Johnny Depp and that is saying something 🤔! I saw Elayna in Darwins smile but I have to mention Lenny he is almost ready for a staring role. Emmie reminds me of Shakira and your other friend who what is his name? I apologize but thank you saving Elayna from that old nasty Shark 🦈! What was up with that Shark anyway? Was it a bully Shark? Murky water is a problem up here in Fairhope, Al. Too. Lol Do you know that not many people can hold your attention for an hour? Bravo!

Shoot I saw 👀 it differently myself! I enjoyed the return to the "Love Boat" that we all love ❤️ about yall so much and Layna sang a song 🎵 for goodness sakes! 5 Stars 🌟 and that is all there is to it honestly.

Absolutely loved the video! So cool seeing more day to day stuff and the weather was nuts! Please do more of these in the future 🙏🏼😊

Loved the pace and content. So lovely and beautiful.

I need more grandpa dance moves. Seeing you guys just living your lives is really nice. Thanks for sharing.

I like it best when you talk about big ideas and silly ideas, about the internal experience of cruising. You guys have great philosophical depth.

Love it.

I think your OF content should consist of just Riley’s dance moves 😂

Your best work yet. and I’ve seen them all. I’ve been massively inspired by you two. So much so that I’ve also sailed the Bahamas with my boat. The most honest, beautiful and joyful look into the real life of sailing. I see it

So much love for this family xx

This was such a joy to watch

This is one of the best ( if not the best ) video I have seen from you guys. Real work of art. Thanks and congrats

This format is sincerely the best. It’s inspiring and it’s exactly what makes us feel connected to you. It’s so real and raw. I’ve been watching for a while but in these formats you exude happiness and a sense of calm that reflects back onto the watcher. It’s captivating. Kudos to you for rekindling what was missing not long ago when you were on land pondering the future of the channel. You’ve found it, and it’s easy to see why this format suits you. Keep up the great work.

The patience in Riley’s voice and the care you both clearly, consciously take to be respectful in how you speak to each other and careful in your word choices, even in serious, stressful situations, is amazing to see. So many relationships could benefit from the same! I also really love this longer, more informal format. It feels more real and gives a lovely insight into your personalities, your relationship dynamics, the realities of being a sailing family, and the realities of life on the water. Plus it’s just more genuine and more funny. At 18:45, Riley gave off a big Weekend at Bernie’s vibe. LOL Darwin is getting so big already! And Lenny is a typical kid, total pasta-head like my two. Glad to see even kids raised on boats with vegan diets still end up living on noodles. 🤣 Also I can’t be the only one that totally ships Imogen + David. Come ON!

Love, love, love this format. My daughter and I are getting over Covid and we felt like we just had an hour long escape. This feels like we are along with you! Keep it up. And…Elayna be as silly as you want to be!! 🥰🥰😘😘❣️❣️

I'm with David, really love this format and it feels so much more real, more personal, less processed. We out here in Patronland need and want to see more of what it's really like. As someone who would like to try living on a boat someday it's important to see that bad shit happens to you too. There are so many sailing channels who make it look like it's all just sun, bikini's and beer and it's not. Also really enjoy seeing more of the interaction between Riley and Elayna, Emi (who is the sweetest person ever), David and the kids. As I sit behind a keyboard fighting security issues this is a wonderful escape for me, keep them coming, oh and the little Riley dance....priceless.

These 1 hour really take me all the Way to feel I’am at the Bahamas with you and the environment that you are living, and it make me think perspectives on my dreams for the future 🥰🤩 Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Picture Perfect. Pun intended. These "raw" videos feel so real and kind of intimate. Thank you.

WARNING! I’m about to overuse the word “Love” in this comment! I really really love these videos! Its hard for me to explain how they make me feel but I love it! I love that Elayna is expanding her horizons by exploring this new direction in videos. You guys have always been pioneers in one form or another and I love that you continue to explore and evolve. There is a certain sort of peace I get when I watch these particular videos which is hard to explain. “A day in the life” style could very easily seem mundane or boring but yet you have managed to keep me glued to the screen bringing about big smiles and feeding my dreams with hope and contentment. I love it ! More more more! The challenge is on !

loving the more intimate and low key videos! x

I really enjoy the extended videos and the leisurely pace of them. Very relaxing. Please keep doing these. And thank you.

These are my favorite! Does anyone have a playlist of the music Elayna uses to edit??

Loving this, pace is awesome. Thank you

Love it, great format, you guys really shine in these. Live soon?

Peaceful is indeed a good describtion of this long, slow paced vid, loved it once again. I kind of like the ''going from place to place vids and explain about the land you visit'' I like the docu vibe that it gives. It already changed a lot now you guys are a bigger family, and that change was great too, so I get you want to do something new, go for it, do what you want! We will probably still love it :)

Just love Lenny narrating the story. You could lighten up the most serious video with his voice dubs.

I could watch you guys watch paint drying and still be entertained hahah

Yes! Loved this video. Probably my favorite and I think I’ve seen them all. I was so emotional about the trash. It actually made my eyes sweat.

I really loved this style of video. I could have kept watching!

Great movie. I know there is no such thing as a perfect life...but you may have found it. ⛵

Beautiful video. Honestly with so much happening all around I’m throughly enjoying this immersive, slower pace experience. The visuals, the music, the absolutely adorable moments with Lenny, hands down one of the best videos yet! Thank you for taking the time and sharing your journey with us all 💗 from Jupiter FL.

Also, I love when Lenny says "So,..." Cracks me up.

Definitely one of my favorite videos. Keep up the singing...love having it back recently as its been a while. Kids will do that. :)

Excellent video nice change of pace. Cheers!

I love how genuine and pure these types of videos are! They bring a genuine laugh and smile to my face! The Lenny cam moments are the sweetest. Keep doing you guys, whatever you decide or need it to be each week! It is all so adored by everyone that watches!!

Amazing! Loved it! And love this format. Left me so peaceful.

Tech question, given that Elay has to sit on the head to edit, will the new Rapido have a Nav station or office space?

Loved it! I also think elayna you should make whatever crazy thing you want to. We will all be happy for whatever you give us.

Very fun video! Maybe some other videos could be more home-type videos, like filming a deep clean on the boat or making a recipe collection. Regardless I'm sure it'll be great!

Enjoyed that very much as well. Like this format

Love this! I would also love to see what kind of video you'd like to make Elayna. Go for it. Your family is so interesting, I'm sure people will watch whatever you decide to do. So great to hear your music again as well.

Aw, I loved this one! I also love when you sing and play guitar, just beautiful! What a crazy and beautiful life. Y’all all seem really happy here. I’m so happy for y’all! ♥️

I really enjoyed that. Thank you.

Just great on every level. Thanks again guys. Elayna, your song got me all teary. You guys are the best and I hope you know how much you mean to us, your worldwide family. I first heard about you during the Greta period and I bacame a Patron immediatelty. Have been ever since. (When the pandemic hit I took a financial hit as well. I cancelled everything I was paying for monthly, Netflix, Pandora, etc. But stayed with you guys!) Point: For those of us sailors and want to be sailors, I love it when you just take us sailing with you. So thank you so much and more like these please! Wish I were there with you. Keep on taking us sailing with you please! Cheers!

Loved every minute of this! The music was a whole vibe. And Lenny's filming and narrating is really coming along! 😂 Great stuff, as usual.

Love this kind of videos..that is so we'll done 😍🌿🏝️ we watch it on our beamer on the wall and it has such a Cinematic vibe...the underwater stuff was also amazing! And it is so relaxing. Singing was also beautiful 😍

Elay's singing always makes me tear up! You all are the best. Lots of love from Colorado as always xx

So wonderful, relaxing & immersive (pun intended). One of your best!

Just when I think the movies can’t get any better you go and do this ⛵️☀️❤️, loved seeing all the raw emotions and energy, thanks for inviting us into your lives 😊

Love seeing this style of video. I hate that there is so much trash. Does it just wash up out of the ocean? You guys are a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing your life with us! 💗

I have wondered if you will ever get tired of filming things. I rarely get photos of events because I would rather be experiencing the experience than filming the experience. Though when I do capture things on video or film, I am glad of it, because I have more than just my memory holding onto it. Looks like Lenny may grow up to be your videographer, so that would give you an opportunity to have the footage and be "in the moment" as well. Wouldn't that be lovely? Great video, as always.

Elayna no need to change the videos they are great as they are. Never get fed up of watching your adventures and especially like the longer ones which give a real insight into daily life the good and the bad the thrilling and the scary.

Love these so much, please keep them coming they're gorgeous!

I am so looking forward to watching a video that Elayna would want to watch, because I was thinking these were what she wants to watch. If they can get better then these bring it on please.. Love you guys Rich

entertaining, relaxing, joyful and escapism... keep 'em coming please !

Longer videos allow us who watch to get lost in thought and memories.

I could watch you guys all day long.

Loved the longer video but some of my favorite parts are when we get to see you guys being goofy. Now I never have to wonder what Reillys nostrils really look like 👀😂

Love the longer videos. If you want to film silliness and stupidity go right ahead will probably give us all some more laughs. However I do recommend that you don't post anything that can later be used as evidence against you in court

Fabulous. So immersed in your life. Thank you!!!

Simply wonderful..👋🙂

yes this was beautiful and i wish to see how you want to film Elay!

The longer videos are absolutely amazing to experience, its so nice to have the slowness of each scene with such variety and beautiful music. <3 xx

Loved it…

Ohh I love these extra long videos!! Thanks for helping me procrastinate writing my paper (:

Thank you for the extra effort it would've taken to produce this longer episode. would appreciate it If you can catch more of Riley dancing on the bow too!

🖤

That was really fab, guys. It’s amazing to see how much variety you put into your films. Fascinating and totally engaging. Nothing better than to wake early and join you on your extraordinary journey to places I’m pretty sure I’ll never visit. Thank you. Mx

So do enjoy the longer video’s (films). This might be the change of format you’re looking for 👍

Love these long episode, with more sailing in them 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful video!!! The best 56:26 I've spent today!!!! I'm putting my prawn traps in tomorrow. Looking forward to having fresh seafood, just like you. Any other Sailing La Vagabonde fans here in Vancouver BC?

I know you don't do the typical youtube q&a, and have answered plenty of questions in lives, but I'd love a q&a to know more about each of you as a person. Likes, dislikes, embarrassing stories from before you met each other, pet peeves, things we'd never guess about you!

Beautifully made, guys! Thoroughly enjoying these hour long episodes.

Great show! Immersive. Up close. Not heavily edited. Challenging. Beautiful. Calm in some places, nerve wracking in others!

That was so nice to have the extra time to be immersed in the experience. I can’t imagine the time it took to produce this but it gave us all so much. Thanks for the effort.

That was awesome. I hope you enjoy making videos like that. For almost an hour there I was someplace that gets more than 20 to 30 minutes of rain a year. I love the rain.

Beautiful film, thank you for sharing the suspense and humanity of life on the water. I think most video's are a collaboration between the both of you (and others). Maybe we could have a video of unfiltered Elayna mind, and another video of unfiltered Riley mind?

This was wonderful♥️ love you guys♥️ thanks for letting us be a part of it all

I love how putting up a beautiful sail can make you happy. Great episode.

Niiiiice.

I'd love to see the kind of video you would want to watch EL

That was such an amazing hour. Love it when they go longer feela like we are there with you. Besides the storm. It felt very peaceful. Thanks. Always feel so chill after watching. Absolutely LOVE everything you have put out 🌞 it just gets better every week so whatever great ideas YOU have I am sure will only enhances the experiences Its great to see how HAPPY and Peaceful you all are right now its a beautiful thing. 💙

Another solid film 👌 loving the long format. Thanks Rob

Best of. Good on ya. “This is water,” mate. “This is water.”
