17 Days at Sea Crossing The Atlantic (Sailing La Vagabonde) - Ep.8

[@demeraradove]

i stumbled on to this channel at 8 am, 2 hours later I am still with you guys, I am hooked on the adventure, and love the morning sunrise shots, the fishing , the sliding diners, this is wonderFULLLLL!!

[@MrDaverunamuck]

Hi Guys, with the not being able to see the light house at the distance stated on a chart, you will only see a light flashing at the distance it says on a chart when you are on the bridge of a ship which is several meters higher. Charts are designed primarily for ship use. Being lower down, about 2 meters off the water will reduce the distance at which you will see the light. There is actually a formula that can be used to give a fix (distance) when you first see the light.

[@barney9008]

+Sailing La Vagabonde That was pretty, ballin. although you said allot of people do it, it's still a minority, and something to be very proud of.

[@hmorgan911]

Boy I tell ya, if there ever was a perfect woman, Elaina is about as close as they come. Riley, you are a very lucky young man. My best wishes and good thoughts for your safety on this wonderful journey we call life.

[@dtoy1809]

she is perfect for sure

[@karins1242]

riley as well!

[@willterryart]

Living vicariously through you guys!

[@willterryart]

It's one of my dreams... :)

[@MkmeOrg]

"Had a good day today" "No we didn't, the spinnaker fell off" ... :) Excellent guys. Cheers

[@BurningStar81]

The moment where the sun was coming up and the moon disappearing at the same time, I must say that was my favorite moment. It's so beautiful to me. These two videos made me happy inside. Thank you, and Cheers! :D

[@BoNomadic]

I saw this and decided to duct tape a trash bag onto my kayak with a big stick and a fishing pole. I'm departing to cross the Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday. Wish me luck! Hopefully I don't get stuck in a Darude Sandstorm.

[@owenduck]

WaterWorldPlanet Give Davy Jones my regards would you.

[@BoNomadic]

Curious .Kid i made it a couple miles out and was picked up by the US coast guard... they wouldnt let me do it XD

[@clayrose6797]

+WaterWorldPlanet lmao absolutely brilliant. Hilarious.

[@BoNomadic]

Clay Rose i died half way there.

[@ghostman76015]

+WaterWorldPlanet I busted out laughing when I read this, kinda like the guy that tied the balloons to his lawn chair

[@paracog]

Rewatching this first crossing after viewing the Rapido shakedown cruise from hell, amazed at how comparatively straightforward this trip was, with the biggest problems one broken spinnaker and a lost catch. Great to see how you've grown in competence and wisdom and still have the adventuring spirit!

[@Choppermurman]

Congratulations on your SAFE crossing. You guys are a joy to watch as you continue your adventure. Fair winds and following seas. Stay safe.

[@chrisrundle5384]

I feel like one of the lucky ones, i have only found your videos, started yesterday and onto this on already, i can see a binge watch coming, lovr the videos guys

[@lancedaniels]

I thought I had seen ALL your videos, then found that I had missed this one....SWEET. Thank you all, Elay, Riles, Jack, and - - - la vagabonde

[@jdennerlein]

Love watching your journey. I lived aboard a Catalina 36 for 5 years and loved that lifestyle. Nothing like it.

[@carolewarner101]

Wow...what an epoch journey. Congratulations you three!

[@bevo9412]

Excellent Vid, Glad you made it safely across the Atlanic. Love following your journey around the world

[@hedgesider7945]

Glad to see you made it across the pond safely, looking forward to your next video. Take good care of each other and good luck.

[@steveo1kinevo]

Loooove your videos! Out of all the channels I subscribe to I always look forward to seeing a new one from you guys the most. Cheers to Jack! ...it was fun to see him sail with you guys. :)

[@sukhinijjar9132]

My favourite videos of you guys are your original and rawness

[@johnvonhorn2942]

Yes, ozzies are magical! Praise them with great praise.

[@ebayerr]

ozzie,ozzie,ozzie! :)

[@kustakuties9847]

I love listening to Riley geeking out.

[@finalbyrnn1752]

okay. I love the fact that every problem you guys have aboard you all smile and laugh your way through it.

[@devonmike]

I know I am way behind the curve looking at your channel and may catch up with you, but I just want to say I am loving watching your adventures on Vagabond.

[@daisypugcodes]

Rewatching the whole adventure! Wonderful stuff!!

[@luftgetrockneterleguan7744]

Pure Feeling! You have to save this For your childs! Sehr roh, ehrlich, erdverbunden, natürlich.

[@todaysrealhealth8153]

Riley that is so brave of you climbing up while at sea fixing your sails. Very impressed.

[@pk13910]

You positive attitudes were key to your easy crossing.

[@astrogypsy]

Every time I check in on you guys, I just feel great. I'll bet many people could say the same. Thanks and best to ya.

[@0HARE]

What an adventure. Just completely awesome. Thanks so much for all the work you put into the video, and for sharing your adventure with us. Good Vibrations!

[@noylddot]

Congratulations on making it safely across the Atlantic!

[@Mr1jimmer]

Wrote this on your Facebook page, but thought I would share it here too... Hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your souls & spirits fly, into the mystic...You shall watch the ferry's, as they get high, on a bluer ocean against tomorrow's sky. And you will never grow so old again, as you walk and talk, in gardens all wet with rain...Go small, go simple, go now..You can't control the wind but you can adjust the sail..Into the mystic you shall remain... Enjoy the ride...

[@Mr1jimmer]

No, I wish I did..It's beautiful,,,It's from a Van Morrison song "Into the Mystic"..It just reminds me of what you guy's are doing, I like the part .You can't control the wind but you can adjust the sail..it is so true.. If you have a chance listen to the song on KZbin...Happy sailing...

Rewatching this video from long time ago... very chill sea crossing.

[@FishKungfu]

4:00 BEAUTIFUL!!! You guys are doing great!

[@joris777]

You guys made me smile today watching your vid,that is a good thing! fair winds and keep the vids coming. Cheers, JJ

[@nickhouben5834]

What a great trip you all had. Don't you ever feel scared or frightened, sometimes when those big rolling waves comes towards you it frightens me just watching it from here I'm in the u.s. far away from you I can't imagine how you must feel but you always look like you're all having a good time laughing you're all adorable with how much you laugh I just love it. Anyway guys I'm glad y'all had a good time and you made it safe and sound I've had a great time watching all of you I hope and I pray you always stay safe.

[@kevinwells4986]

Spinaker looked great, for awhile. You guys face any adversity pretty well, but then I have another 141 videos or so to watch. I can make that work, eventually. I'm looking forward to the little guy arriving.

[@marybrantley2160]

As a young couple, the friends that have shared fun yet very serious sailing with you, prove you and yours are indeed unique. Many of your "sailing adventures" have often been, " a bit dangerous" , and these "friends" have assisted you a great deal. A reminder how many great things can not be accomplished alone. You two are very intelligent and creative individuals, continue to enjoy your special lives!

[@levidaisyyoung220]

its been fun seeing your older videos... its not about the quantity or quality but just watching you guys.. ok off to the next one now.. 👍💞🌸✨ 2022..

[@russpost2557]

I for some reason found this one this video came up , watch them all sense . Some of these earlier productions are my favorites.

[@tarra9232]

I love going back and rewatching from the beginning! 😭 precious moments 😂😂

[@Earlosaur]

I've only been day sailing, and can't even really imagine a journey like the one you two have taken. It would be something else, I presume.

[@johnvonhorn2942]

You sir, are the gentleman day sailor

[@kasumcanaganacanagana9414]

I can't believe how much luck you guys had trough the whole trip! It is unbelievable and amazing that almost in every sketchy situation the luck comes in and gives you a pretty well push,just when it's needed! Cheers

[@colin5686]

What a buzz ! Sailing around the world with a gorgeous girl ! nice 1. Good Luck !!

[@MJSailing]

Glad you had such a nice passage across the Atlantic (minus the broken halyard and winch issues), but mostly calm and pleasant seas. We did the same crossing just a few weeks before you (left Gran Canaria on Dec 18 2014) and had nothing but 35 knot winds and 3-5 meter seas from the Verdes over to the Caribbean. Definitely a wild ride for us. Loved Jack's sweet little goodbye speech too, it must have been really nice to have him on the crossing with you.

[@guybeingaguy]

You guys are having too much fun and adventure ! Great video work and editing as well !

[@josephladewig2944]

Great job...yall made it look easy. I truly love watching these videos. Puts my soul at peace. Would love to do it some day!

[@trixp5]

Love following the journey and congrats on making it to this side of the pond! Cheers from Cali.

[@diegomegi7369]

every episode i binge-watch, makes me like this channel more.

[@mwewering]

You are my heroes! You create a big smile on my face.

[@Skipperskraa]

Love the spirit onbord your boat. Fair winds to you

[@Micscience]

Wow! I wish I could be doing that. That is the way to live I wish the best for you guys and I hope you enjoy more moments like this. I think if everyone did something similar the world would be a better place.

[@henryfranqui3634]

Love the part where the moon is going under and at the same time the sun is coming up..

[@rickclem9179]

Absolutely incredible. Keep up the good work. God bless!

[@richalways8863]

you guys are killing it!!!! around the world you go! gonna follow in ya foot steps in a few years! safe travels

[@hodge1970ify]

Thanks for taking me on your trip ! :-)

[@jimmypinch]

Amazing, so glad you're all ok and it was a good time. Thanks for making the film especially when up the mast in such a tricky situation. JPxx

[@r3lax3d]

Congrats sailors ! great episode. Admire your Atlantic crossing so much !

[@Fadri11]

Thank you very much for this videos. Saw many others but your,s are the best. Very sympatic, real, not a show like ZINGARO. Wish you only best of luck in your life. Love and greetings from the Alp,s REGION SWITZERLAND.

[@saltyshowers9356]

I predict: your second Atlantic crossing will be a bit more eventfull☺. Thanks to Jack!

[@lap1d216]

I literally lol'd at the end😂. Guys you are living my dream. Hopefully i can sail your passage in the future. Happy sailing!

[@kaiserashkaiserash8162]

As a fellow Adeladian I just had to say, bloody top job guys, looks absolutely amazing and a ripper journey. Reminds me of my travels although not quite as impressive as all this. Im hooked and can't stop watching! 👍🏻

[@ozjohnno]

Great Vid (as always). If you want to stop the boat from gybing accidentally, you can always rig a preventer from a snap shackle and block on the toe rail to the boom.

[@westnoorazli4943]

i though my life is full of events but after seeing this it just drops down low ! call Jack back on board . love that guy so funny !

[@johnw3638]

Congratulations, You guys made it! After loosing the new dingy and letting your dinners jump back into the ocean a few episodes back, I kinda had my doubts with 3000 miles to go and all, but you came through!. Keep those great videos comming

[@eddybobea6709]

The kind of stary nights you guys have had, so envious... in a good sense.

[@flemhawker9134]

I've had an UGLY day & I'm thinking I won't ever be able to switch off.....then I remember these two. Peace.

[@TransformaTuVida69]

Muchas felicidades chicos!!! Bienvenidos a América!!! Saludos desde Paraguay!!!

[@rossoh]

i actually feel very happy after watching these videos :)

[@1995Hackar]

Congratulations. Really brave to go across it. Well done.

[@Danmantus]

Jack seems like an absolute champion, another great vid

[@sasfish1966]

Super chilled out crew. I been watching cuss we are off to med this year and hope to sail home in 2016 or 17. safe trip guys. The time of your life is the time your having right now. life is short so get living

[@arqcm]

what a great journey as usual :) thank you guys for this great video:)

[@hnsail7598]

Outstanding! love the update. Cheers guys!

[@carriejthompson1]

Congrats on your crossing! Id love to cruise even for a month...someday! Fair winds!

[@leonardread13]

You guy's are amazing. God Speed.

[@Walt1119]

FANTASTIC! Thanks so much for sharing with us! w.

[@ronjeffcoat2568]

Love ur videos, an old sea adage from a retired capt.of the merchant marine, a rope is a rope till it hits the boat and then it becomes a line

[@SailingPivo]

I love it. We are starting our trip soon. So excited.

[@BigRed999]

Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@rajeshp2408]

Nice and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@robfraley4210]

That is one N1CE Asymmetrical Spinnaker there @ 0:53 I love 💕 it 👍✅

[@amypoucher9620]

Raleigh has got the coolest eyes I just started watching these guys a couple months ago and I really like them both they're good looking but not conceited. They are both very nice people. I think they are my favorite KZbinrs. When I first click on I had no idea that people actually live on boats all the time. I know that stupid but no Idea. It's really cool that they take us along with them.

[@DirectorDavoPaul]

This is my favorite show. I don't watch TV.....and I DIED at 6:00 when you almost dropped the "whatever it is"...Good frikkin' God mate!

[@majesticmark6054]

Love the coconut song at the end. Hard to believe this was 2 years ago.

[@mariusdanciobanu2433]

Congrats from Romania! We are huge fans! :)

[@OutdoorsCamping]

Your Channel is THE BEEST!! LOVE IT!!

[@1240enzo]

Hey well done guys, yet another fun vid from the journey of la Vag. It goes to show so readily what can be done if you really want to get out there and live. Riley you are one chilled out dude, and Elayna you are so cool. Fair winds and keep livin the dream. Will continue to follow your travels.

[@ellenadams798]

Thank you!

[@Drivewaysailor]

Congratulations!!! Enjoy some down time...

[@chrisboyce6542]

I just found your posts and will be following them , I have a 7.3 mtr trailer sailer ,it's been layed up for two years, can't wait to get out on the water. I have read a book by Jonny Wray called The South Sea Vagabond most inspiring book and adventures he had are like yours only set back in the thirties and forties. Enjoy your sailing ...I do.!

[@troyburbank1099]

Does anyone else read the video description in an Australian accent? I certainly do.

[@MikeStott17]

***** I read it in an Australian an accent too... Because I have an Australian accent.

[@owenduck]

Michael Stott Same here cobber. It'd really no biggy. I'm gonna go down the pub now and put three sheets to the wind.

[@Billdo420]

What a gem!

[@yilianglow5101]

one day i'll definitely go sailing around the world , elayna bio is so inspiring. argh wished i didnt grew up in a country like Singapore, never able to have this kind of adventure.

[@davidzottneck9610]

Juwaii Wicker

[@SailingwiththeFoxwellFamily]

Well done... as inspirational as ever

[@mkexotics1]

Way to go! Love your uploads. Thanks!

[@MaxChiartosini]

Hi guys you're very brave and I love your video but please be careful! The sea is not a joke! People prepare theirself and the boat for years to have an Atlantic crossing safely! What if the jib sail broke up too? Did you have another one? and did you have enough water \food in this case? what if while you're catching fish from stern you fall into the sea?(it's happened to me) you're not bound and no lifebelt! Please be careful we want to see more video and continue dreaming with you! Best luck! Max

[@nikolaychekan9861]

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing. You guys are an inspiration to many of us still on the land! ;-) Must have been stressful pulling that chute back in? Also, it appears the crossing has been a great learning experience. :-)

[@blair1061]

Awesome guys, good for you

[@MrTynanDraper]

Being out in the middle of the Atlantic and at the mercy of weather and waves on a small yatch . . I'd be super anxious.

[@vamp9190]

No lifejackets while walking on deck? What is the plan if someone accidently goes overboard?

[@kajjeekanalenfan72]

Give it a rest

[@jasonbudd6359]

Good video as usual Thanks for sharing.

[@thomasrobins78]

You all are having too much fun. I need more videos! :) My fiance and I are going to be chartering in BVI for our honeymoon and were hoping y'all would hang around long enough for us to meet up with you. Anyway, I can't wait until we can untie the lines, but until then people like you continue to inspire us. Thanks for sharing it with us. Fair winds.
