Can anyone tell me how to make better KZbin videos?

[@sandyc6569]

😊👍

[@elmervillabrille67]

Congrats Mr.and mrs.have a nice day🎉

[@BamaScarface]

It just makes my week when the new video drops. Best KZbin channel by far!!

[@daleendutoit237]

Hi there; when will we be able to get AG1 in NZ? It's made here!!

[@CarinaPiersay]

I vote for a washing machine! You have two kids. A washing machine would be life changing!! What a time saver and convenience. Aww come on Riley! Get the washing machine. It would make Elayna so happy and would make her life easier. It’s not that big and would be sooo useful!

[@ricktaylor14001]

Riley….happy wife, happy life! While I don't really believe in that statement, denying your wife a washing machine will come back to bite you so many times for eternity! That isn't even a negotiable thing, no matter how calm, agreeable & smiley she will be…. deep down, that will grow and grow, and will become a huge abscess. Riley, you don't even have a choice in this, you need to put that washing machine on that boat. The marginal little bit of extra speed that you'll get that you'll rarely ever use compared to how many times she'll use the washing machine⁉️ Do better, Riley, lol!! 🤪😁😜👍🏼☮️

[@ScarrCrow]

@@ricktaylor14001 you could've said this a lot less weird my guy

[@celestryalcelestryal6690]

I remember telling my husband, when he asked me where we could possibly fit a dishwasher, that I'd gladly place it on his side of the bed. Let the mom of your two active boys have a washing machine. (I did finally get my dishwasher lol)

[@50hellkat2]

Too much weight.....😉

[@Sammy84_]

​@@50hellkat2no its choice she gave him so much, its the one thing that a family needs.

[@jackfoley2]

Don’t get me wrong, I love Lenny and Darwin - but super fun to see the more playful side of you two in this video! Goofy energy and I love it!

[@beattynation3487]

Yes!!!! I’m happy to see them happy ❤

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Agree !

[@ricktaylor14001]

Agreed! ☮️💟

[@joshstamey4136]

I totally agree!!!

[@BrentKelly5]

That’s what I was thinking. Super cute!

[@billmoore2493]

I’ve got to weigh in on the clothes washer question. Riley, you have gotten everything you have wanted in that Rapido. Don’t be a total Peter Pan, give Elayna the washer she wants and add a dryer in addition. Not the crummy combination washer dryer either, get the best you can fit on the boat. Think of everything that lovely woman has given you. Love, devotion, family, adventure, KZbin stardom and wealth. Pull your head out and make her life as wonderful as you can. 😅 Best regards, Super fan Bill

[@laurence9695]

Absolutely. What he said.

[@louiseperry6920]

Hear, hear!

[@SailingSnowGum]

He makes a good case, does Bill.

[@seane6171]

I hope Riley reads this

[@cd2290]

Yes! As a mom, it’s one of those conveniences that makes mom life so much easier that you don’t realize until you don’t have access.

[@mbrandyf]

Ending the chapter of boat tours with a tour of YOUR new boat would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

Cannot wait for our tri boat tour.. I will cry with joy lol.

[@new_technologies_store]

@@SailingLaVagabonde Riley, please don't cry, 'cause then I'll start crying with you and that's never embarrassing in front of thee old girlfriend. 😜

[@shawnbroby5200]

I love these videos. Though we miss you every week, you guys seem to be a little more relaxed and appear to have a good life balance! Thank you for the time spent showing us your world! Love it! The Tri looks awesome.

[@rboston33]

I have finally figured out why I like you guys. You are a couple of small town blokes who found a niche and made it work for you.and that smalll town personality is extremely appealing.

[@julianfatsound]

I like that, with these more recent videos, the space has increased between them. While acknowledging that you've travelled to a different part of the world, we didn't WATCH you struggle through the airport with two children or come with you to the hotel... we simply appear dockside with you at the NEXT boat! I think implicit in some of this "missing" footage or "parts of the story" is the space that you guys are finally taking for yourselves and I can say it looks really good on you guys! Having watched your videos for over 5 years now I have seen the evolution (and slight mutation) from a lifestyle vlog, to a brutally honest lifestyle vlog, to a 24-hours a day someone's always got a camera type of channel. While I have to say as a voyeur into your lives I was definitely enjoying the increased access, I can see that the flip side of that would be ALWAYS FILMING and just monumental amounts of editing. All while continuing to live, on a boat, with two kids, still sailing, still filming... I like that with your new style of filming I don't feel like i'm missing that access to you guys but I can tell that whole parts of your lives have gone on that weren't part of your videos. I think that's awesome. (I think every now and then you can REMIND everyone of the realities of living and travelling with small children... but it doesn't NEED to be part of your regular videos to make good content. Love you guys! Congrats on finally finishing the new boat!

[@saskia.h]

As a saskia myself I can say I love a good boat tour 😊

[@DanandRow]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE the vintage mustard!!! We live in the UK and couldn't sleep and were pleasantly surprised to see a new episode waiting! Nothing beats a dose of Sailing La Vagabonde, wherever you are and whatever you are doing, it's always such a positive and inspiring experience!! Thank you guys.

[@juliazentner681]

I love your videos! Is it a convection microwave? Lol

[@FreckledGemini]

It’s maaaaaahvelous to see you two at ease and being the goofballs we love! ⛵️ ☀️❤️

[@dannysummers8555]

Just discovered y'all this past week and have binge watched for 5 days. The BEST videos I have watched in years. I did stop at episode 100 and skipped to the last 5-6 episodes to happily see you are still going. Now I am going back to watch the remaining ones. As a recently retired 65 year old with three divorces, no children, and jobs I hated all my life, I have many regrets. I had a few chances to chase a couple of dreams in life that I was too afraid to take and that is probably my biggest regret. Y'all's story actually brought tears of happiness while watching because neither were too afraid to take a chance and have already made sooo many great memories, and still so young with time to make sooo many more. Prayers, blessings, safe travels to your family, and hope you keep making those new dreams come true for many years to come.

[@MaryBethThomas]

It’s never to late to achieve your dreams mate

[@myrnaedmisten599]

So…I’m an 84 year old woman from the Pacific Northwest USA. I don’t understand much of what Riley says 😂😂 but I love your channel, your love for sailing, your relationship, the adventure!! Thanks. Love the longer videos also. Cheers!

[@jeremiahsealy9211]

lol, im a 40 year old guy from texas and dont understand most of what he says either, dont know a lick about sailing but for some reason i find these videos relaxing

[@johnd6046]

If you click on "CC" on the bottom right of the video it will display subtitles for what is being said. I live in the PacNW as well!

[@kirtandreamrezzer]

That's the fun part, Riley likes to mumble like Popeye the Sailor Man. 😂

[@mhyers]

This one was one of my favorites. The enthusiasm both of you shared was contagious. I enjoy seeing you both so happy. Can't wait until next weeks episode.

[@katebriggs9301]

I also love to see you two be goofy and silly together! It reminds me of way back when you were still on LaVagabonde 1! I have enjoyed this whole journey with you guys! Love from the Pacific Northwest ❤️🇺🇸🌲

[@dattoDJ]

As someone that knows nothing about sailing, it's really cool to see these boat tours and have done kind of idea on what this world of sailing is about!

[@totallybonkers]

+1 for washing machine (I'm on your side Elayna). Wow. Love the color. Looks like a really ripe papaya fruit! The ocean against the hull will be so beautiful ❤️ The Gunboat is an amazing boat. I'm sure after running around that boat, you are really ready to get on LaVagabond II asap!

[@miriamortiz8040]

Let that woman have a washer!!!!!!!❤😂 She deserves one...😊

[@uncommonthrifts]

My initial reaction to the vintage orange was negative but then I thought of the boat cutting through the water and realized it will be a striking sight to see 🧡🧡🧡

[@TheOverproof151]

That colour is perfect when matched against an ocean blue.

[@buffalokay]

@@TheOverproof151imagine it at sunset

[@stacybroussard3097]

Love to see the progress of your new Trimaran. The color is so UNIQUE 🤩 Things are coming along nicely and can't wait to see the final result! What a Beautiful day that will be for you All. I'm so glad you two got to spend some alone time together, it is Essential in every relationship 😉😉😉 See you next week, can't wait!

[@SandyRief2023]

It is always good to see people by the boat for size comparison. It really shows just how big the boat is! Love the vintage colour.

[@mr356porsch]

You two have come so far. Thank you both for sharing your growth as you live a true vagabonde life. ☮Peace

[@ricktaylor14001]

“365 degree views” 😂😜 This just shows how “real” these two are, integrity MEANS something to them. That could easily have been edited out, but was left in, humor added and that solid “I’m human too” relationship between us all! Well done guys…. WELL FRICKIN DONE‼️ 🤠👍🏼☮️

[@ryanntheyogi]

Random but I used to work in interiors/exteriors for private jets, and we almost exclusively used Akzo Nobel paints. Their customer service is phenomenal & the quality of the paint unmatched. That golden yellow color looks stunning guys!

[@traderman786]

Having watched since the beginning its awesome to hear Riley Discuss the importance of learning how to properly sail in a manner that gave no evidence he purchased and hopped on board his 1st mono hull with no idea what he was doing. Vandal is so Sexy.

[@amyhawks370]

I can NOT wait to see y’all move into this beautiful craft. What an amazing thing - living your dreams and raising those boys with the WORLD as their classroom!!! Living happy and fostering the future through your children equals SUCCESS! So glad we found you!❤

[@so88113]

For us non-sailors it would be interesting to learn what costs are involved with owning a boat of that quality. Things like maintenance, insurance, fuel, and all the other things we don’t even know to ask about. Thanks.

[@zimbonz]

Probably close to $100k a year, if not more. Add another 100k+ if you need crew.

[@buffalokay]

@@zimbonz🤯

[@CassidyBair]

Congratulations on a beautiful boat. You two are inspirational. You have given so many people an insight on sailing and cruising the world. It’s easy to get caught up and overwhelmed with all that’s going on (boat, kids, life, career). You have captured the beauty of your lifestyle and shared it with the world. Thank you for inspiring me to have my own dream of sailing the world soon.

[@actuallyitskevin]

What I wouldn't give to sail with Riley.. To be able to learn from that guy! I'm buying my first sailboat soon.. I wish I knew someone like him.

[@zerofoxgavin1286]

"They squeezed an extra couple of degrees in here." - I did a real lol at that.

[@leonaessens4399]

Apart from the fact that the Rapido is a pretty spectacular boat, It seems clear that her unique hull colour alone will draw all eyes to La Vagabonde III in every port she visits when she finally starts sailing the world!

[@GwenArlene8181]

Oh, how gorgeous is your boat, the same colors as the ever popular Creamsicle! Love it!!!! It just POPS! Won't be able to miss YOU out there on the worldwide ocean!

[@steendful]

I didn't realize how big it was till you were leaving the dock... WOW! Cant wait for the next video to see how she purrs😁.

[@MrFirespitter]

Expected more guns on a ‘gunboat’ haha love you guys , as someone who has lived inland my entire life I love your videos and gives me inspiration to go sailing one day

[@Skiamakhos]

I gotta admit, I thought they were going to be on some kind of fast patrol boat / ex Navy vessel.

[@goulash75]

I dunno, I reckon Riley has some big guns. ;P

[@bryangoldthorpe8906]

Enjoyed the episode and think your Rapido 60 will look pretty striking in any anchorage also cool to see how the wealthy go sailing ❤😊

[@lazzj4995]

No more incognito arrivals - luv the vintage - be safe be seen - mustard. Visually fab on the future drone shots

[@wilob]

I’m like the idea of silliness on boats and sailing stuff all day long.

[@annabellegettingwell1531]

So cool! You two seemed so happy and playful this episode! I loved it! Sweet vintage color on your boat! Very nice

[@roberthandlon1877]

Awe a gunboat, what a beauty. Speaking of beauty, looking good Elayna. Looks like you are feeling well, glad to see. Loved this video looking forward to seeing your next one. Thanks

[@ptakvm]

Elayna, that Athletic Greens ad, nothing to hide there, you look spectacular ! ! !

[@alexandertelehin3425]

Hi Elayna, Rilley, Lenny and Your youngest gorgeous son; I am so exited that your 65 foot Rapido is showing it's inside and outside colours. I am so looking forward to the completion of your Rapido. You have me sold on your choice of speed machine. Your young boy's are so, so lucky to being raised as youngster with such level headed Parents out on the big beautiful seas of the world. Stay healthy, stay young, stay safe, always looking forward to see you trial test that 65 footer. Australia

[@HexFlex-ss9rm]

Wow! Well done guys, I’m not sure what the difference was but this video stands out. Now maybe it’s just the Gun boat Factor, I mean that’s a fine yacht . Or maybe it’s how relaxed you both seem in this video. What ever the reason, great job and can we have a raffle for this beautiful beast….?

[@curtbrown7967]

👍🏽😎Beautiful Boats. Thsnks for having us all on board!

[@richcherwalk6349]

You guys worked hard for your audience, if you help market people's boats, make them sign a contract for a commission, don't let them sell it behind your back.

[@BamaScarface]

Okay my cheeks hurt from smiling when you flip the camera around see the outside of the boat. You might not believe this but I'm just as excited as you guys are for that thing to be finished and the sink and the countertops...oh man....this this is gonna be beautiful!!!! Im so pumped!!!!!

[@kimosabescraps1]

[@-RyN-23]

The color made it grow so much, just helps show the size

[@sail4life]

Awesome Gunboat! But I have to say, I love the burnt yellow / Ochre colour on your new tri. What a stunning boat, you guys are going to be recognized the moment you cross the horizon. The interior, man, that is in a class of its own. Good thing we all know the sailing is going to be excellent already.

[@chrispomfret8592]

❤200% agree with Riley’s sentiment that you are better off getting the boat that sails well rather than the big ‘apartment’ because you are inexperienced. Take the time to learn and you will not regret it. That means listening to performance orientated people and buying from top racing pedigree companies.

[@kvalvagnes]

Yellow trimaran is perfect. LIke the big windows and the view and that Gunboat.... hope they are strong...

[@donnakroner7603]

Glad to see that Riley and the boys have caught up with you.

[@jonathangreene5811]

I'm chopping at the bit to see you all sail that gunboat & hear your impressions. What dream come true ! Lots of good wishes for fair winds & following seas. Aloha.

[@Andy_M986]

That colour!!!! Damn,your boat is going to be such a stand out,nice choice.

[@Jdamnitok]

Just want to say I so enjoy watching your family and all your videos 😊

[@hidegrl]

Love the color! And don’t listen to the haters. You guys do you. And thank you for letting us tag along. 💙

[@theresataylor8786]

There always has to be a down side with Alayna. Oh dusty, Chris. Well get some polish and dusters and clean it Alayna. It's yours for a while now. I love Alaynas respect for other people's property, jumping on the couch on the decking!!! 😊

[@johnparker3065]

R&E - GREAT boat tour!! Gunboats were deserving of their cult followers from the splash of #1. Your tour and expert commentary illustrated all the techy design and onboard systems sophistication; Harken electric winches. Dometic electric waste systems, Stidt helm chair.....on and on. The Rapido will be faster for sure, however usable space will be left in the dust for not too much speed penalty. We just changed out the Spendide, it is heavy, most being lead weight for the 2000 RPM spin cycle. Ya gotta have one! Good call to tour the world looking at unique watercraft, much better than working in the bilges of 40 yo monos (that refers to me BTW)

[@sarahwhiting325]

Vintage Yellow submarine, fabulous ! 👌

[@jimmarshall5453]

They don't try to make use of every square inch of space. They make use of every cubic inch of space (as I do in my apartment). I liked your flying flop at 5:42. I love your paint color. It's close to tangerine. I hope they give you several gallons of extra paint for future use. Great on the 365 degree view. I'm glad you mentioned the "go through us" at the end. You might want to say it early as well as late. Love to you all.

[@annabellegettingwell1531]

I have not even started watching this episode yet, but I’m soooo excited to see a new video!!!! Yay!!!

You read our minds. Vagga 3.0 looks beautiful with the paint on.

[@AnnieSmith-e2d]

I just watched your video discussing your melasma. I have been struggling with my melasma since the birth of my second son in 2003. I, like you, have tried everything, including lasers, topicals, serums, creams, etc. Basically my doctors tell me that these will work, but only temporarily. Anytime I get overheated (or too cold),and of course the sun, will bring it right back because it’s hormonal and not really a “skin”problem. I live in Florida, on the water, and we are out on our boat frequently. I have finally decided to embrace my melasma and accept it is just part of me. I’m not going to continue to spend thousands of dollars to fix something that lasts for a few months only to come right back. I could sense in your video how self-conscious you are about it, but honestly, your skin looks great. It must be terribly difficult reading peoples comments about your physical appearance every single day. I can see why it would be mentally taxing. Just know that the vast majority of those of us who follow your channel aren’t watching it because of what your skin looks like or your hair., etc. We watch it because we enjoy seeing a lifestyle that we all wish we could live and the freedom and enjoyment you show us that comes from the beauty of the sea and from your love for each other ❤

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3167]

Beautiful vessel. Excited to see your trimaran once it's finished thank you for the upload.

[@dcsc1]

I've never liked anything yellow, mustard barely doable for me...but geez that's a gorgeous colour! The deeper vintage mustard is really, really nice. The boat looks even more "massive" now it's painted!

A lovely first look around of your Gunboat. Seems to offer most of the bells and whistles you'd want on a family size vessel. Groovy to see the both of you looking relaxed and excited about your latest adventure. Also very cool to see an update on your new sailboat. The color is beautiful. Looking forward to next week when you sail this gun boat to hopefully see what she can do. Stay safe and stay groovy. P.S, why don't you let Elyana have her wash machine. Remember it's her home at sea as well.

[@wildaltarose]

Enough said about the washing machine, however this boat is massive. There I have said it for Riley. It seems beautifully made and it has everything a seasoned sailor would want. I would be concerned about the safety issues if small children were aboard and I wonder how that kitchen would work during a storm. Can’t wait to see how it handles when sailing.
