Found the link to that talk: https://youtu.be/BW32yUEymvU?feature=shared

100 Rabbits is one of my favorite sailing channels, even though it’s tiny. They are this super nerdy Canadian couple who one day decided to buy a boat and circumnavigate the whole Pacific including Japan (we’re planning to sail to Japan, too but will take some more years). Beautiful and hilarious talk by them at a tech conference to be found on YouTube from some years ago. I think you guys will love them. Tangerine Trancender is probably way too long but I love it.

Big Bird. Clearly you guys don't know how nicknames work.

Regarding Hawaii. I vote no. Yes the islands are amazing and should be visited by airplane. I grew up there sailing my Hobie Cat. But the ocean crossings WILL be nothing but hard. Crossing to Hawaii is easier than going between each island. E is right. You will have the best times is SP. R can do the Transpac type race with bros to Hawaii someday on SV III and win it!!!Love and hugs. Can’t wait for more of your shows. Outstanding. Thank you. 🤙🏼

Awesome episode! Absolutely loved it. So much resonated with me and my business partner/lover/friend/sounding board/source of annoyance/best mate ever! Totally on board with Icarus (pref. Icarus Dreams), but would love to see La Vagabonde as a name continued - it is now kind of part of your DNA. A big fan of John Gray Ph.D (also recommend "How To Get What You Want and Want What You Have" by Dr. Gray) and also DFW (Infinite Jest) is a must.

Awesome video. Loved the open and honest chat and updates. I'm now 70, grew up with grandparents who sailed, and have been lucky enough to sail a fair amount in my life as well, thus my being drawn to the sailing channels. Have raised two boys, and you two are doing great! Yes, they are high energy, get hurt, and are rambunctious. Don't worry about those issues. Lots of love, hugs, and good boundaries, which you both are doing well at. Great book that Mars/Venus book. It has been around since I was your ages and is a great book to understand just how the male and female brains are different. Hang in there, all relationships have ups and downs. You seem to be able to ride the waves of those issues, but yes, it is hard work. Love you both. Boat names......I want to see LaVagabonde continue! A good nick name is awesome, but don't lose the name you are known worldwide for. La Vagabonde III, and a good nickname incorporating the beautiful color. Best to your family!

Your graphics and overall editing work is fabulous. Loved the episode and your openness as always, but thought kudos for the production were in order.

Totally agree, La Vagabonde is a great name. I adore watching you guys, glad you've managed your rough patches so well 🤍, phew lol. Riley, you'll get a laugh out of this, being such an Ocker bloke. My hubby and I have an 18foot half cab for the estuary, every time I went to say we should call her "The Grey Nomad" I would accidentally call her " The Grey Gonad", so now our boat is the grey gonad 1 and our caravan is the grey gonad 2!!! Hahahahaha Bye for now, be happy and safe 😘

Thank you for your frank report, so interesting, you both are amazing personalities. Ref. a new name, "Never change a winning horse" - I would stay with La Vagabonde, great name and lots of positive associations.

Thanks for the update. Yall are hilarious. MANGO MAGIC!!

Great Movie. Mango magic in the bedroom? 🙂⛵️🥭

I know Elayna is nervous about Hawaii but I need to make a personal and rather (lengthy) pitch for it since I have a very special place in my heart for it. The Tahitians talk about 'mana' and you can FEEL it in Hawaii. Sailing and surfing are the heart of Hawaii, the Polynesians sailed from Raiataia to Hawaii and it wasn't believed they could do it with their 'primitive' ships, but the Polynesian Voyaging Society (based in Hawaii) proved otherwise. Hawaii is very misunderstood (as I'm sure you found the Bahamas to be) and is working so hard to restore their traditional language, culture, and way of life. Permaculture is thriving in the islands, and a move to shift away from imports toward self sustaining agriculture - as their society used to be, relying heavily on growing tropical foods and building sustainable fish farming practices that have been around for hundreds of years thanks to native Hawaiians. I would love to see you guys get a view on this part of Hawaii beyond the resorts and what the locals are working toward. It would be cool to show the boys since you can spend so so much time on shore and there’s plenty for them to do!

The cosmic muffin….. love that! From a Jimmy Buffet book I read. Can’t recall the name.

🧡

BTW Riley - following in your footsteps and doing the Sydney to Hobart this year. I'm 65 and I'm going to need a new bucket list after this. Just did an 8 day motorcycle ride from the Hunter to Sunshine Coast on my large 1250GSA with a bunch of guys on smaller dirt bikes criss-crossing the Great Dividing Range on a bunch of dirt trails. I'm not dead yet.

I love it guys. Can't wait to see you aboard 58. See how that rolls off the tongue? LVIII in roman numerals ... you get it.

My only offer is to listen to your heart It never leads you astray

Thanks for the update guys and for being so Frank. just on another note I would’ve really liked to have seen your thank you video from the cruiser Awards which failed to play on the night

Special episode! Getting to know more about what makes you tick and loved seeing your continuing striving to keep your relationship, and intimacy as number one while you RUSH thru your everyday lives. Kiss the kids for me! Love, Lanah

Thank you for sharing you lives with us.

I love this style of video and am always grateful for an update. Congratulations on all that you've achieved :) looking forward to the trimaran videos! I asked chat gpt and my favorite responses were sunny sailer and citrus breeze. Mango magic has a ring to it though.

I just love you guys on all your videos but especially on these. And I appreciate your vulnerability and honesty. It is not easy, but I think it is not only healthy and the catalyst for growth, it is going to be imperative for those sharing online. This is for our society/humanity to be able to connect with others but more importantly, ourselves in a lasting healthy way. My son knocked his front baby teeth out too! Kids fall sometimes. And they don't always catch themselves.

Love you guys. I’ve been following since day one and became a patron when Lenny was born. You are doing a wonderful job parenting and navigating (no pun intended) your way through a marriage on film. Kudos and here’s to the next 10 years.

Also... Tangerine Dream :)

DFW quote is great. Listen to "This is Water"... it'll blow you away. "The work of choosing" in all of the moments of the day... he's incredibly spot on in this speech.

Congrats on the launch. Looking at the launch photo which is pretty far away, I do not see any solar panels or cockpit cover. Are those going to be installed after the sea trials?

Lean into it and name the boat "Yellow". The most famous yellow boat afloat.

Vaga Vida

Thanks for all the juicy details. My mom and dad work together 24/7 for many years. This was after their kids were all grown up. They had a very close relationship. I want to know on the new boat if you guys will have your own bed to sleep in without sharing it. Mommy and Daddy can only have so much adventurous sexy time with Darwin and Lenny in bed.

Surely the name has to include Vagabonde? Or how about 'Le Vagabond' ... the tri has much more masculine stance than the cat. Ultimately, your choice but can I suggest you leave 'Mango' out of your decision... brings 45 to mind instantly and that's a horrible, sickness inducing association.

I vote for Mang0 Magic . . . heartwarming video!

MANGO MARINER

What a FUN video!!!

Bora Bora! Yes! Count me in! Stay with the workouts, Riles. I'll be 65 next month, lost 40 pounds in two years, and now hold state powerlifting records. You don't stop lifting because you get old, you get old because you stop lifting. How about Mango Slide? Sounds like a good drink too.

Viva la vaga 😉

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to see how you live on this new boat!

LaVagaTrice

Boat names - wouldn't it be La Vagabonde III? Or just La Vaga .... Dame La Vaga .....The Vagas.......Vagas......Big V...... V. ........L.V.....ELVE....VagaGo....WeGo....

PS don't worry about the baby teeth but if Lenny's Permanent front tooth comes in on the side with the baby tooth and on the other side it doesn't come in and it's been over 6 months you need to see someone. Cheers!!

Ok I would usually never say this BUT since you showed all thge comments about Riley.......Elaina YOU are smokin' Hot

Let L&D pick the name!

Do you ever hear from David? The young mate that did a ton of sailing with you?

We needed this. Thanks for the great update. So looking forward to getting on the new boat.

I read that book 30 years ago. It was good then, glad to see it is still helpful now. For relationships Johnny Gray, for children, Dr. Haim Ginott. They were good then and they are good now. People with feelings are still people with feelings no matter the timeframe. Glad you made it over that hurdle. Thanks for the honest video. Great as always. Boat name: Amber (has great meaning.) Or Goldie (but it isn't actually gold, is it?). Or Amber Glow.

Peptides? Tell me more

I went to see Mras/Venus in Paris in a theater and I read the book. So right !!! (my wife also has understand how I was working ;-) )

Weevils and spiders live on boats so who says there won't be pets, plus terrariums are awesome! So many life stages to be learned about. Sounds like you have a budding scientist aboard. My vote for a name is the Vibrant Vagrant

Mango Majic for sure.

So happy for you ~ Everyone's life if full of ups and downs, but you are staying grounded through it all . . . Good on ya! Always legends x 4! As for a boat name ~ what do Lenny and Darwin say?

Great update. Thank you for always being you. This new episode is excellent.

Mango Magic was good! So long as Boost doesn’t sue you cause it’s a smoothie name haha

So excited to see you on SLV3! Those name suggestions sound cool for the name. Love to see you guys, even if there's no sailing/adventure planned as you need to have time for yourselves 🤗 Glad to see you all happy 🥰 I've been following you for a couple of years now, and hands down one of my fav series is when you were last in the Bahamas as there was such a chilled vibe to it and you all seemed to love it. Watched those videos more than once when I need to relax, especially the hour video you did on it. And whilst I love you all, Lenny and Darwin's moments always makes me smile, especially when you two crack up laughing at their antics. 🤣🤣

La Vagabonde III isn't going to be called La Vagabonde?

BIG BIRD

Thank you! Sending hugs and a ton of highs.
