Welcome Aboard! (Prepping to Leave Port)

I was just in Vietnam in November and husband and I also had passport issues. We had double and triple checked before sending them off. Problems upon arrival fixed by some $$. Reminded me of Myanmar.

where are the EXCLUSIVE next episode previews ????

Srsly LOVE Elayna’s list 💛😆

Wow Such a Huge Challenge with the visa🤪 Hope You Can look back and say You managed it Well🙏♥️

Forgive me for being new here, but why is this PAID video 2 minutes SHORTER than the FREE version on YouTube and where are the EXCLUSIVE next episode previews ????

sorry about the visa issues can't wait for the next video. Cheers!!

Visa issues sucked, but you were a star for handling all that unpacking. Add to that, I was sorted excited to see you getting the time at the helm and extra training. Looking forward to the next video.

🙂⛵️ all part of the adventure!

Calm in the eye of the storm is Elay and it sounds like a shakedown is coming for Riles who will need your expertise.

What a boat you have! Kudos to you Elayna for unloading and stashing away those hundreds of boxes. And for soaking up all the technology of the boat on the shakedown without Riles. Sorry Lenny is sick. My heart and mind hurt that the culmination of your dreams is messed up by a visa malfunction!! Looking forward to next episode but with much trepidation!

She is beautiful! I hope all the kinks are worked out soon enough. Pretty stoked to see the cutting board made it onto LVIII! ❤️

Bureaucrats! Ba humbug! The world's full of them! Corruption in politics exists in man forms and languages! These guys won't get a good "Google Review"! I feel for you guys! Cudos for Elayna toughing it alone. And Riley wanting to learn his new boat while flying off on a plane! Nuts-oh! Alright let's get that baby "flyin".

Hey Lenny, we are Canadians currently in a camper traveling from Perth to Adelaide....when you get to SA we will wave to you...perhaps from the clifts as we cross the Nullabor. Great episode. Can't wait to see the next.

Congratulations! Been a long time coming but you got there. Hope it's everything you dreamed of and more 🥂

Just watched! Wow. Elay you are a BADASS! Sorry about the VISA BS. Hang in there and hang on!

WOW. A lot for you guys! Exactly right Elayna, you needed to learn this and really, few other ways would have worked! So when we can learn to appreciate that everything happens FOR us, in our favor, even if they are not what we think we want, we will see now or later, what a blessing in disguise it was. And this is really a safer thing for your family and crew - that you learned this on your own. You now feel more confident than had you learned along side Riley. Well done adventurous souls!

Am I right to assume on a tri your instability comes with more side to side, back and forth “slapping” excuse my terms! Only have spent about a day keeled over on a mono. Cats always look super smooth but I can’t wrap my head around tri’s it’s like a monohull with stoppers from keeling over

Amazed that you got as much videoing done at all with all you are having to deal with! But it certainly allows us to see what all you have been through and are continuing to go through so we appreciate your trials on a whole different level. You are brave and wonderful. Keep on keeping on. I hope the planets are lining up better for you now that you are in another locale.

What a journey . . . you are dealing admirably with the crucial link in these chains of events: logistics! Bureaucracy, supplies, etc. Elayna looks like the supreme helms woman . . . ready to sail through the merciless oceans at 27 knots! Vagabonde III looks incredible, as does its crew! I'm sure her performances matched its looks! Fair winds!

Didn't the marina owners give you that wonderfully warm welcome? Why are they being so difficult about the visas?

Settling in and unpacking is incredibly strenuous. But how exciting! Can't wait to see life on SLV 3. What would happen if Darwin and Riley didn't do their visa Run and you just took the boat and left? Sorry for all the hassles. Although I really love Darwin so anything involving him makes me happy. Not that Lenny isn't cute too he is.

When my watch notified me of a new Ep. I immediately ran to the computer to watch. Congrats on getting onto your new home and to your Elay., learning to sail on your own on LVIII. I think you ended up having to head south to Malaysia according to IG post. Looki.ng forward to more and maybe as things settle down, more frequent Episodes. So very happy for you all, Elay, Riley, Lenny & Darwin

BTW, I'm amazed at how well the boys are doing getting ready to swim and live on an open decked boat . This is going to be a BIG adventure..

Hi guys, girls and Lennie and Darwin, Riley, it looks like you have a great relationship with the factory. Lastly, I NEED to see LVlll chasing a bone with 20 kts off the beam! I hope all is going well.

What a boat! What an inauguration! I can't believe the hoops you guys have had to jump through! Anyway guys the struggles at the beginning will make the end result that much more worthwhile. Elayna, you do look good at the helm. My rough water experience is paddling a canoe n a fast river. I haven't missed an episode in years. You are heroes in my book and an inspiration to keep going even when things are tough.

You are both amazing. So brave. Taking on an ocean on a new, untested boat is a big endeavor. Hope all goes well.

Wow!!! So much on top of what you needed to do to get ready to leave! Looking forward to seeing the next video too!

She looks so nimble and beautiful under sail! Even light wind. Good job, Cap'n Elayna!

❤ GR8 VID ~ LOVED IT ❤

No matter where I am in my day, I hit pause when the SLV notification drops.
