@Sailing La Vagabonde I'm sure somebody has already mentioned it, but have you guys seen the man overboard system Sailing Zatara recently got and implemented? It triggers an alarm when the bluetooth bracelet goes out of range from the home base. Could be pretty good for peace of mind once Darwin gets moving around and you have to keep track of both of the boys.

Cannot wait to watch Back 2 Basics videos of their experiences in the Bahamas. I really enjoyed Sarah’s vlogs, getting more comfortable in front of the camera. I wouldn’t expect Lenny to any other way, whether it’s sand on the lobster or scribbles on mom’s list, he has been roaring 🦁 at the camera and in life since he as born! 🥰⛵️

Same here! As a Portuguese living in the UK, I sometimes find myself struggling with the weather and especially with the lack of contact with the ocean. These guys simply just take me back "home" for a couple of minutes.

ELAYNA! ELAYNA! RE: NO-SEE-UMS! Maybe my 4th message to you guys over the years, whenever I hear your struggles with these pests and lately when I see the bites all over little Lenny and Darwin, I'm sending this message to you again from across the universe in the hopes it reaches you...one day... You need to get/make some roasted coconut oil for the NO-SEE-UMS! My family is from the Caribbean, but I learned this from some Indigenous women in Bastimentos, Panama and it WORKS! All natural and effective! Folks if YOU see this and have a more direct line to the Vagabonde crew, please let them know. ROASTED COCONUT OIL!!! ROASTED COCONUT OIL!!! Good luck! Hope this finds everyone well, safe, happy and sound :)

[@kaylajarema974]

Commenting to BOOST!! They complain often about it so I help this helps!💕💕💕

[@chrisriehl1696]

Wait, you roast coconut oil? Until what end? This is fantastic news

[@soulwave7237]

@@chrisriehl1696 when we were in Bastimentos, some little, old, Indigenous women visited our rental house. It was like they had telepathy as we were at our wits ends! Luckily my husband's first language is Spanish, so we were able to understand that they had this homemade, ROASTED coconut oil for sale that they made themselves. We were desperate of course (as anyone who has experienced the torment that the no-see-ums can pose!) so we bought a bottle for such a fair price...and I tell you, it worked! Not only that, but we still have some left as we're only 2 ppl travelling periodically. And the remedy makes sense: these bugs are so small, so their probiscus (feeding organ) cannot penetrate the layer of oil when it's on your skin. Of course it won't remedy the buggers on board, but this roasted coconut oil definitely helps to keep them from being able to get a bite out of you And from what I've learned since, perhaps any natural oil on the skin may work, but I think the key to this Indigenous version, is that it's roasted coconut oil. It was a medium brown colour (so not too roasted) and definitely smelled roasted/cooked. For me, Indigenous wisdom is usually best in any particular region, as the people have figured out remedies over millennia. Thanks for your comment! Hopefully this advice helps, not just for the Vagabond crew, but anyone who has ever been plagued by these wee, little pests! 😀

Seeing more of Sarah and watching her being more forthcoming is fantastic. Great addition to the videos and crew. Also baby Darwin is the spitting image of Lenny. Look back at Ep 198 around the 9:45 mark and compare to the 19:51 mark in this video.

[@elizabethhuggins3787]

Love everything you do! As a light-sensitive child when I was young, I wonder if Lenny might benefit from sunglasses. I know I did when I got some and it reduced potential uv light damage. A challenge to keep sunglasses on kids I know. Worth it!

[@todorpanov1857]

I don't really think there's a better way to raise kids I've seen online. Let me elaborate on this: Sailing and seeing tons of different parts of the world while living off the grid could really only do wonders for the human psyche (no matter the age). Adventures like these while needing little to nothing than their boat out there would surely set quite an example of good living for these kids. Something I wish I had as a child while watching this and quite frankly something I would definetly wish upon my children as well.

[@smetlogik]

@@akdonlh9924 Oh, I think it's still extremely difficult. You're in a small confined space, Sarah isn't watching the kids 24/7, all the potential hazards from you run into doing something like this. Takes some guts to do something like this and go against the norm.

Hey guys. Been a fan for a few years now, and enjoy living vicariously through your work, but I couldn't help but wonder something after watching this video...the plethora of sea life you managed to pull from the ocean in this video...well done. Nothing against hunting or fishing or eating animals, but I just wonder if you ever pause to take a moment to acknowledge or respect the life you are taking, not just as an accomplishment, but also for the life it gives you, and the inherent magnificence of the creatures themselves. No judgement, just an observation. I know you guys are sensible, just wondering if you think about it. Those are some pretty magnificent creatures. Cheers from Canada.
