Knock knock.. who’s there? Bonifacio. (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 107

[@ksingleton101]

Wow, I wish I was 50 years younger! Thanks for Sharing, God keep you guys safe!

[@richardwaller9853]

You guys are sooo much fun to watch! I've been viewing your channel for the past couple months and there is a real bond with your life. When my years were much fewer than they are now I had the desire to sail a boat in the open seas. For some reason to sail around Cape Horn was a fascination, and survive of course. Today I am grateful that you have invited me aboard La Vagabonde to traverse the oceans with you vicariously through KZbin. May the wind always be in your sails and your compass hold true! Godspeed and God bless.

"A little bit like a tablecloth". I then proceeded to spit coffee at screen as I was watching with wife who just before said "that's a nice jump suit....."

[@jamesinkeys]

Thinking Table cloth flock,... Elayna, looking very stylish as a fresh wholesome French girl....

[@Bethanrowan98]

A sailing la vaga Spotify account is needed because these songs and artists recently are amazing

[@Micheleb4]

I am trying to decide on a vacation destination for 2020 and every time I watch you guys I have a new locale to add to my list! Great jumpsuit Elayna!

[@drmoynihan]

I really enjoyed this episode which made me renew my remembrance of Napoleon, and his Josephine who died of a broken heart when he divorced her. Narcissism at it's height led to his inevitable end - virtually alone and sick. But really, its the chemistry between you two, Elayna and Riley, and the love of the sea. Thanks to you two again. :)

[@GreenXrays]

Love how Riles closes his eyes when he has to think really hard. Concentrate!!

[@rianjohnson7484]

Best channel on You Tube! The music selection alone...two thumbs up for the work you put into that. Pilot for life but just sailed for the first time, great fun, thanks for the inspiration!!

[@ariag.8745]

Is it just me or was this an award winning LVB video? I loved it. Funny, beautiful and everything in between. Just a great all around video. Thanks you guys!

[@flower2364]

Great to see you both again. Been a tad ill and so haven't been on facebook a lot. Love to see Riley so wrapped about his boat...and I never knew you were a history buff Riley.... :) Loved this episode.... Be safe ... and happy.

[@1776alltheway]

Literally the most amazing channel ever

[@ryang1718]

wicked cool you 2 hugs and love that your back to having fun on your own time

[@3739pwns]

The amount of joy in Riley's face when he put up the code D is exactly what I want to experience when I start sailing.

[@cobar1954]

I just cant get enough of these two traveling around, i need a bloody yacht, pronto

[@thebillbaker4793]

You’re doing a great job having fun, I like that part. What I miss is Riley talking to old seaman’s about fighting the sea and the cruiser life stories. The island life that you had. You leaving footprints in the sand that no one would see but you. Remember when clothes was an option. Check your old videos.

[@evanjohnson5401]

I have been binge watching your videos and getting stoked to pick up sailing after a long time away from it. Well done!

[@melchiorao9759]

bilge watching? :D

[@xjbeau]

You two are awesome, been watching for a long time now and I gotta say I'm just as hooked as I was in the beginning. It has been a great inspiration seeing your journey.

[@daledurbin2354]

Beautiful, gorgeous water and the beauty is sea sic. If we had water here like that I wouldn't have time for videos.

[@quartusweekdaysafaris]

Riley strolling down the street with a table cloth draped over his arm. Love it!

[@ivancarling]

Hi! My daughter (ThisNarrowboatAdventure) told me you were "doing" Corsica. We lived in Ajaccio and the Golf De Lava for a couple of years. A paradise! I cheekily got a gig as a guide touristique at the time, knowing very little of the history but bluffing the American tourists!

[@d_ressu]

Encarnacio-ooooohn! Legend.. Once you start, you can only stop after the air guitar solo.

[@NinjaPigRocks]

Awesome scenery, that coastline is something else!!

[@mitchwright1558]

Another great one, you guys find the best music

[@NoelCarolyn]

I'm so excited to get some new merch! What a beautiful place, I remember watching that exact Crash Course in a history class a while back lol.

[@markjohns4367]

Video after video .... you guys got me reconsidering my direction in life

[@quirkyfrapple2321]

Me too join the club

[@MrBlackReviews]

nice episode guys!!! very beautiful views... I can't wait until you guys make it around to Australia again.

[@GivesAMinute]

BAM! Me too! :)

[@MrBlackReviews]

GivesAMinute... I love your channel!

[@GivesAMinute]

Hehehe! The feeling is mutual! :)

[@hughburton4175]

Hi all. Love the channel. However as a Perth based yachtie I have some bad news and it is called the Australian Tax Office. If you own a boat that you have bought overseas, hold an Australian citizenship and sail the boat to Australia, you must pay import duty and GST before you can leave. This applies even if you visit for 10 minutes. The total rate is just a tad over 15% of the value of the vessel. Assuming the vessel is worth $1,000,000, that would mean a payment of $150,000.

[@GivesAMinute]

I think I recall from an earlier episode they actually do not own the boat - Outremer own it.

[@davidolson9425]

Just love your videos. Just enough sailing and just enough human. Keep doing what you have been doing.

[@captandy34449]

You videos just keep getting better and better. Thank you so much! Very well done!

[@shelly7405]

I'm 53 with no great life but for my kids. You bring my such happiness always

[@Valden23]

Hi Shelly. I'm 55 with a great life including my kids. Riles and Elay bring me a lot of happiness too. They're pretty good at it. :-)

[@rw5092]

Best episode so far with the new ride. Excellent film and editing

[@aarfeld]

A couple of thoughts: 1. I'm wondering if the difference between the man who told you that thank you on Corsica is "gracie," and the other who told you that it's "merci" reflects the tension between those who see themselves as Corsican and desire independence, and those who see themselves as French and wish to stay in union with France; and 2. Yes, Australians, like Americans (like me), denizens of relativley new countries with few old buildings, are always awe struck by how common very old buildings are in Europe. And, of course, they come even much older than Napolean's birthplace.

[@GozHDR]

Aaron Feldman Hey, so I might have kind of an answer for the first bit (if it still interest you) since i'm Corsican myself : Actually it might just be a misunderstanding. The official language of Corsica is still french, but we used to talk our own language for a really long time (imagine it as a derivative of italian if it helps to picture it). The thing is, in Corsican we do use "Gracie" as "Thank you", but since most of us speak french (and some exclusivly) the most common use is to thank someone with "Merci", the french word. I don't think it was a reflection of the tension (even though i don't deny they exists, especially at the moment I write this comment) but just a misunderstanding, the first one translating in the language while the other one just presenting the common use. Still, a good part of Corsicans doesn't speak french while discussing with their friends, but it's more like an alternation between both languages in day to day life, speaking Corsican mostly to people you know can at least understand it. I might be totally off though, and it's totally possible you're right and they spoke to an independentist ! We will never know i guess :P

[@aricarr247]

My relative was Admiral of the Fleet Sir George Cockburn, as a fellow captain you might find his story interesting, he was apart of the famous burning if Washington and what sparked my reason of this message was he actually conveyed the ship that delivered Napoleon to Saint Helena. Riley maybe you too will become the admiral of the fleet of La Vagabondes. Love your videos and if you guys make it to the furthers eastern point of Australia I’d love to meet you all. Cheers safe iso and hopefully ur sailing soon

[@RHJalving]

Lovely video again guys, great job Elayna and Daniel. So nice to see Corsica again, I've spend my first holiday with my wife over there in the summer of 1989(yes I know, long time ago). Started as you did in Calvi and travelled (backpacking) down the west coast and around to Porto-Vecchio (just north of Bonifacio). Lovely to see the island from the sea as well :-). I really should follow you guys in your footsteps, buy a boat and just do.

[@robertorellana5217]

I love that you guys visits these sites and I feel far more relaxed and at peace knowing that you guys are safe. Venturing off to Greenland gives me the willies. I know that there is a lot of info from experience sailors but these are new times with new global climate changes that are steering the oceans in new ways. Every time I think about you guys in the North Atlantic/Arctic circle, I cringe.

[@Johnkostercreative]

Wonderful videos. Always makes my Monday evening when I get home late from work.

[@christophertravis2668]

You're getting closer and closer to La Maddalena!! I can't wait!

[@markgreene7930]

Grazie' for another nice break in my day sailing La Vagabonde.

[@veronikagotz8845]

I love the soundtrack of this eposide! great choice

[@sydneyharbourscenery1206]

Hey Vagabods. Just finished catching up to current from EP1. Few binge watching sessions in there. I'll be looking forward to each new ep from here on in. Cheers. Take it easy.

[@affboy-ft1lh]

Fun times guys and I really enjoyed it.

[@stevenr6033]

Every time a new video is posted I think "This is my favorite yet". I can't wait until you visit the Caribbean again. It would be so cool if you came to the American gulf coast near me (Alabama or Florida panhandle).

[@robertforget9684]

Elayna, hi! I'm not just old, I'm an old sailor! Here' is my take on Sea sickness! I have found that the best working thing is "laxative"! Pardon my French, but the grease and other hard to digest toxins in your gut are what turn you green! If you're clean, you won't come green! I recommend; a level tea spoon of baking soda with a shot glass of ACV (apple cider vinegar)! No worries mate! I've been doing tis for going on three years now. First thing out of bed, I down a glass of water and after a couple of minutes the glassful of Alkaline. (Anti-cancer and anti-everything!) I'm 79 and planning on soloing to NZ and OZ in the coming Summer in a 27ft Sabre. I might have a nurse! Lol. Sarah, a 23 yr. old may come with me. We'll see! I'm just as worried about carrying her as she is of coming! I'm in great shape! It's really fun to watch you guys. I'm addicted to La Vagabonde! I would support youz but I have to get ready. I love Riley, I think he's bad! Back to #107. The green episode! I'm not laughing! Bean there, dun dat!

[@robertforget9684]

Oh, I didn't mention that I was from North Vancouver Island, Port McNeill! Cheer/ciao>

[@Megadoculous]

Guys, the audio tracks you used in this episode (107) were absolutely bang on. Loved it. Stay safe you groovy hepcats.

[@kernal9093]

Darn, fourth. Also crash course is dope stuff. I used it to learn history in my world history class in high school. John Green is a funny guy and his history is spot on!

[@phzoom]

the addition of Daniel to the team has made this one a masterpiece,

[@MarcoGViola]

Hey guys, just found u guys one week ago and finish right NOW the marathon of watching your movies! Is incredible what you guys are doing, and hope all this changes continue t bring the happiness freedom and joy unhad with first La Vagabonde! Will try to track the other boat and buy it and start a sail tour (I'm totally water guy,!!) Looking fwd to see more videos, (hope u guys get ride of video crew) and folow what just made me 1 week attached to a ipad/phone/TV 🤣 in what i called La Vagabonde marathon. Will contribute (still need to find out how!) with your cause, keep up good work! Happy salling and hope to cross your path one day 😁

[@ninja5267]

Watched you guys since the beginning. I was a bit afraid the new boat and crew would change the videos but still spot on. Great work....keep it going!

[@jffuntimehappyvideos3789]

nice one, guys. I got my Bilgeyyy! t-shirt today. I'm psyched. How can something be so cool and also the stupidest thing in the world at the same time?

[@terryharms235]

Thank you so much for sharing, Great vid Terry

[@ysanchez7292]

Riley , your crazy cool , could you do a book about or videos on basic sailing...I live in the Caribbean..your so humble , cool seeing you with Lenny alot ,and your wife ....

[@utuber221]

That air guitar and Bonifacio signing by Riles made me click the thumbs up :D

[@donb4386]

Wonderful video! Brilliant camera angles and colour tone.

[@kb3939]

I get so excited when you post

[@davidsmith956]

Great video, amazing scenery. Looking forward to the next vid and tour of that cool town. I was curious for a future q&a about any dodgy people that visited you or lurking around the boat. Just thinking not everyone you meet is the best. Or scariest experience in your travels. Thank you and safe travels.

[@jeffjuhasz]

I loved this episode. the music was exceptional .

[@williambromley5451]

Great music . Adds a lot to the video

[@BllNlsn]

BTW, I remember a while back you had done your DNA ancestry/heritage test. Did you ever get the results back yet?

[@geremychubbuck3730]

Another awesome video, guys. Keep up the great work!

[@jaredbullock5366]

You two are my favorite

[@briancox9103]

God dam those "smart arses" they are everywhere, love the adventure guys, keep sailing

[@jimyswerld4705]

Great vid and music as always .little birdy tells me you have a special guest with you on one of your upcomming vids .always new from when you published your first vid you where 2 very special people .

[@natalieedwards919]

Thanks Riley, I've just read about Napoleon and fascinating to see this episode.

[@tomkendall9336]

Who needs history lessons when you have Riley?!

[@RhodaLevy]

Did I overlook the link for where Riley said he get's his history info? If I did I can't find it...or he may have forgot to post it...oh well watch it again and get it from the video...got it " Crash Course" on youtube

[@abeswells2514]

Rhoda Levy , Didn't sound like Wikipedia?

[@whatthecuss84]

Who needs cable when ya got these two....I mean three now.

[@YoutubeCrittic]

the scenery is amassing. :)

[@ShamWerks]

Damn, thoses scenes of Ajaccio made me a little teary... My grand ma lives there, but she's poorly and doctors aren't too optimistics.... I'm so happy you're enjoying my favourite place on earth, and at the same time it's kinda bitter-sweet. Take care guys, can't wait to see more of Bonifacio, I love that place! (hope you've checked the cimetary!)

[@Xyzabc998]

An adventure has become a holiday.

[@lazydays7470]

Candied ginger works great for nausea. Only need a small piece. Then get something in the stomach right away so the nausea doesn't come back.

[@mickmccrohon]

Amazing speed with the Code D. Another cool vid.

[@ShaneLawler]

That place looks amazing. I am so excited to watch the next episode. You guys are legend.

[@SecsSells]

Guys, how long does this Elay fever last? I cannot shake it. It's like a real fever, giving me chills and delirium at the same time.

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Elayna, the rocks are like because of the way they are formed, and what happens to them over time. They are sedimentary rocks, meaning they are built up layer by layer. They were once a sea floor. The tilted rocks are because of uplifting from below, where rocks are lifted up, then tilted by geologic forces.

[@robertneale3298]

Another beautiful vid , you guys need to slow down thou and take more time at the amazing places .. can’t wait for the next episode 🤓

[@mccaller2009]

Riley you're a legend mate, a very funny man!

[@brianremington]

fabulous episode

[@ronjohnson9690]

Crib note, crib note! Or, where did you hide the salt, Riley!? Can't wait for the orange marmalade suit Elayna wears next time!

[@LeeLee-mb7ho]

You guy's are so sweet even when showing dirty products. It's all good keep up the good works. Love you out put and thanks.

[@CerebroDelNorte]

I actually have a table cloth just like that, with matching curtains. Perfect camouflage for my kitchen! :P

[@hannahcrisman7481]

Wow. Adding this to my bucket list as well. I wonder if there is a more inexpensive way to visit.

[@nadavelyashiv]

Great episode! Lovely views

[@jpitton5124]

I always love the little history lessons from the places you travel to; however, I have been really missing Elayna's guitar playing and singing... Next video, I hope. :)

[@cvicars8649]

Great vid guys.

[@ausboatfun5507]

Absolutely awesome!!!

[@mazayama]

Hi guys I watched all the 127 videos in 5 days! I'm very impressed of all the the things you have lived this past 3 years. I work for the the TGV trains (fast ones) in France so just let me know if I can facilitate a (free) trip Marseille Paris and return some day if you need! Ciao & bon vent les amis!

[@ricoheff]

Northeast coast of Sicily is beautiful, hope you make it there!!

[@troyjbell]

The Nacho reference made me smile so big lol love it!

[@whateverz-876]

very nice lens at 12:30 and beautiful slo-mo at 10:00..! Wow.

[@danielgaertner9348]

I just love this channel!

[@TheMorganMonroeShow]

I love the way Reily has to shut his eyes when he thinks really hard. I wonder when he has his eyes shut if he’s thinking #VictoryLap2021 ¿ just a thought. LOL

[@TheLordStuart]

Love those shots of riles and ely together on the boat! What an amazing couple :D

[@Dnelson5811]

Elana, try an ear plug in your left ear to rid yourself of seasickness. I read about it in a sailing magazine. It works for me and everyone I've told that's tried it. It's amazing. Works even if you're already sick.

[@paulwilliams9570]

How/who chooses your music backdrops? 130am, mildly mashed and couldn't find anything to listen to... head to vaga vids and as usual great tunes. I'm a year late on this one but great vid and brings up a whole lot of 'I wish'es!

[@i_makes_stuff]

Amazing footage backing the cat in! I imagine things will be much more difficult without an extra crew member aboard - hope you still manage to throw on the go pro for those moments. Cheers!

[@OverlandSea]

Another episode enjoyed, thanks guys

[@michaelb41]

Walking the streets of Corsica in search of drinks and great food!

[@k25824]

Love the vids - why did you leave on engine in forward gear and one in reverse gear while under sail? Thanks

[@matteovalenti9278]

"Grazie" min 3:51 means thank you in Italian; Corsica was part of Italy and they use to speak Italian, nowadays the predominant language is French, but some can speak Italian very fluently and most of corsica's citizen can understand it...

[@stevebryant9836]

Love that Code D unfurl shot! Had to pause to comment.

[@kapachangos]

[@jeanettedellicarpini5616]

List you music please love it

[@deahlucas3652]

Is this the first episode where you can hear him call her pants?! I wanna know so bad what the story behind that pet name

[@quirkyfrapple2321]

Hi Deah, Pants in Australia slang is....he is calling her the boss. Boss wears the pants

[@pwhohph]

Love you Guys.
