La Vagabonde checks out a Power Yacht! (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 62
Meet Andy and Julie, a lovely couple from Vancouver. They welcomed us on there 70ft power yacht ‘Infinity’ to check her out and to eat some oh so delicious pasta. We quiz the pair of them on the pros/cons of what it’s like to circumnavigate the globe in this beauty. We also take care of a million and one jobs onboard which is always good fun.
Thank you Patrons!!!!!!! We can keep these videos coming so regularly because of YOU.
Made with love

Riley, not sure if you have heard of Kiwi weather guru Bob McDavit, (metbob) (semi-retired weather forecaster) he is a legend in sailing circles for forecasting weather routes for sailors. For a small fee he will set a course for any route you want to go, forecasting the weather and which route for the yacht to take and dates, he is very accurate. good thing about his service - doesn't debit your a/c until you arrive! <a href="http://www.metbob.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.metbob.com/</a> go to the examples page for a look, scroll down to see map of route etc.... Cruising World mag had a feature write up on his service written by a sailor whom sung praises.... Can send up dates to you via any means you use whilst solo sailing so all good for your trip. Really looking forward the the vid of that trip Riley!
Did you guys know that the bluefin tuna you got coming out of med can go for upwards of $3600/pound
Jeepers full on Riley, and Elayna, my son did wedding vid's, 40 hours to edit onto CD..... so I know the hours you put into these wonderful Vid's, but hay, even a dis-jointed vid is always great to watch from you all ok, so don't sweat it! Haven't seen a dis-jointed vid of yours yet Elayna. Concerned for the trip Riley is bent on doing solo, look I can understand it, just be prepared, even sail 24 hours for 3 or 4 days without Elayna's help incl cooking etc, to see what you need to brush up on and of course just whats involved. ps, Got a parcel today! Thankyou!
Thank-you Ed! Whilst I don't see the attraction of a solo sail, I know Riley has been wanting to do it for a long time. I can see he's done plenty of prep work so I'm confident he'll be fine. I know he'll miss my cooking though :) Glad you got our parcel! Thanks for your support!
Thanks for the video
cheers for the support Paul!
Can't wait till you are on that mega Cat bad boy. I think you will be surprised at the upgrade to quality of life.
Yeah, we're pretty pumped.
Powerboats are not my thing either, but do you two ever dream about owning a much larger monohull (~70ft)? Or do you enjoy the cozy midsize of La Vagabonde?
If I had my time again, I should have went smaller than 43 foot to begin with. But yes, since I bought this one, I have been dreaming of a catamaran.
