He looks his age. You need a checkup if you think he looks 60. Certainly doesn't live the life on an 80 year old though. I hope his hands dont fail him any more before his time as they're quite shaky. That sucks but at least he is still sharp of mind and not "too old" to live.

Sven Yrvind is a legend in Sweden. You should really interview him more. Let him tell you when he got stuck in Canada for sailing a too small boat for the straight and how he got inpounded but rented a U-haul and smuggled his boat out and drove to America and was welcomed trying to do a world record with a smallest boat circumnavigation. Yrvind is a funny name and is made of 2 words. Yr and Vind. Yr in Swedish means dizzy, Vind means Wind. So its Mr Dizzy Wind. LOL

Merry Christmas from a wet and covid Sydney. Best episode ever. What a wonderful man. We all need to follow his example. I too only eat 1.5 times a day. Everyday oats for breakfast and then dinner. Drink lots of water. No alcohol. What Sven demonstrates is that we can all live minimally in small spaces (tiny house movement) and try reduce our impact on the world. We all have to stop with this push towards bigger and better, but rather go simple & smaller. I'm 63 years old and I wear the same clothes I've worn all my life since I left home at 18: denim jeans & t-shirts. I stick to black Levi's 501's (3 pairs) with 5 black T-shirts. I also have two paris of short cargo trousers for hot days and 2 long sleeve long sleeves polo necks for cold days...all garments are 100% cotton with NO polyester or synthetics. Life becomes so much simpler when you don't have to worry about what you are wearing each day...the weather determines what I wear. I don't eat meat as I believe in the killing of animals for food - it is killing our planet and depleting our oceans of fish. If you keep you boat for the next 50 years as your home you impact of the planet will be minimal...and Lenny will get the most amazing education by just travelling. Go well and stay healthy. And take good care of yourselves.

The person Sven Yrvind is saying hello to near the end is the sailor Thomas Grahn. Thomas has crossed the Atlantic together with Sven in an Albin Vega (a Swedish sailboat) and they have written a book together about the experience called "Den unge, den gamle och havet" ("The Young Man, The Old Man, and The Sea"). Sven Yrvind has grown up on the island Brännö in the Gothenburg Archipelago. The island is actually mentioned in several Icelandic sagas.

He was previously known as Sven Lundin, but Yrvind (Whirlwind) suited him better. Great character!

Hi, crew of La Vagabonde. I was delighted to stumble upon this video. I have been a fan of Sven Yrvind and his genious ideas of sailing and living, but it had been a good while since I had heard about him. At the time, he was preparing for a round the world sail in his yellow boat. He said a table-tennis ball could come unharmed out of any storm, as a 50 footer would not necessary. Therefore his tiny craft. But the I-Pad thing is new to me, at the time he said his books would be his boat's ballast, so he would take plenty of them. I'm really glad this admirable man is still around, sailing. Thank you for having put this video that I really enjoyed.

He said, the day I left the dock was my only comfortable day at Sea! These, "strong willed" men, became comfortable being uncomfortable.

Awesome to see this one. I just interviewed an 83 year old sailor from Germany, so interesting to hear the adventures of these guys.

I was impressed by his ability to field a loaded environmentalist question honestly, not succumbing to the current politically acceptable narrative, and by the fact that it was not edited out, even though a level of discomfort was apparent.

He was correct that alot of these Environmental groups are making millions!!! Al Gore made 500million off of the carbon credit scam!!! When is the last time you heard anything about carbon credits???

Reminded me of my Grandmother (born in 1900) she was asked what she thought of the horribly polluted world we had then in 1995 she said its so much better than when she was a girl all the shops had double doors to keep out the flies from all the horse shit in the streets. She also said abattoirs and fish processors dumped their waste straight in the harbour which was black and smelt terrible.

There are some amazing people out there in our big world, and Sven is definitely one of the greats. Thanks Elayna & Riley for the interview, I could listen to him all day. Love his calmness and his wisdom.
