Living Off the Land in The Bahamas with my Pregnant Girlfriend. Ep. 185

[@goulash75]

Mate, don't sell yourself (or Elayna) short. This is a documentary of the highest quality. The story you tell and the journey you are taking us on is worthy of any Nat Geo or Discovery Channel viewing! If you were to take your mountains of footage and condensed it down into four, 2-hour shows, of the best stuff (Lord knows how you would pick the best bits though...) you would easily have an award winning Docu-series. Keep up the good work guys.

[@jackiebilder5183]

goulash75. I agree. they are like family to many of us...great quality

[@makaylawilkes9071]

This content is incredible. It’s like an endless stream of peaceful, feel good travel documentaries.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Over the past almost 5 years, you have been our BIGGEST inspiration for sharing our adventures - because of you we believe that we can create and live the life we dream... thank you ♡ We hope that one day we can drive our van to your boat and meet and share stories and laughter and hugs... you radiate.

[@normaboman5443]

What Riley said about sick people who are unable to go out and live their dreams is so true. I am one of those people. I live vicariously through both of you. And it's your series that keeps me from being depressed everyday. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with me 💜

[@russ155]

I battle sever depression I wish I could spend time talking to Riley, he just seems to be a good person to talk to. Take care and be safe.

[@tristandornellas3562]

Ohh I am very sorry that must be terrible

[@russ155]

Sailing La Vagabonde Thank you I will read both of them. Your videos are my escape.

[@tristandornellas3562]

Russ even though I don’t know I will still call You the best

[@ThompsonBMXbikes]

Sailing is being used to treat depression and PTSD and we even have a local boat building alternative school for at risk kids with phenomenal results.

[@bennykell3]

Russ keep strong Russ!

[@johnwhite8360]

I love what y'all are doing. Living vicariously through your lives has played a tremendous part in getting me through medical school when the wanderlust sets in hard. Unfortunately the training process for physicians in the US makes us very poor as students but I hope you'll still be around for me to contribute to as soon as my training is complete and a paycheck starts coming in. Also if you ever need an emergency medicine physician to volunteer on board let me know! Keep it up guys. The positivity you're putting into the world is making a difference.

[@steware]

Andrew is the best! And we’d run into him no matter where we went on GTC. I swear he never meets a stranger! He insisted we go to a community party on the island just north of GTC so we did and we met his whole family, like nearly 200 of his family & others. They wouldn’t let us contribute and insisted we always had a full drink & belly. I’ve never met a nicer, more welcoming community before. They made us feel more at home than our own town and they wanted nothing in return but good fun. So glad you got to meet him and his friends. 🥰

[@rtlamb]

You are totally spot on with how your videos impact those of us who can't do life like the rest of the world. I used to sail and I LOVE it!! Flying on water! I used to also travel the world. I've been in 30+ countries but I can't that anymore either. But I can and do watch the both of you and "the Wynn's" on a weekly basis. You really do a super job of making it feel like I'm right there with you and it makes me smile, even on a super crappy day. Keep on smiling and never ever let go of the moment! Cheers!

[@srqlisa7881]

Fantastic heartfelt commontary Riley. Yes, for us or for me one illness is Lupus which means no sun, which sucks living on the coast of florida. I have watched many beautiful sunrises and sunsets with you two thank you. : ) peace

[@gsabo1000]

Lived on Florida with Lupus. I hear ya!

[@bobsvids5706]

Thanks!

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

Wow! Cheers Bob. Appreciate you. Glad to see you're enjoying the older eps. ⛵

[@kristenk1522]

I seriously appreciate your videos so much! Being full time college student, I try not to indulge in the youtube world too heavily, but EVERY time I get a notification, I drop everything and watch. Coming from Hawaii to go to school in cold Michigan, your videos keep me motivated and help me stay positive when I'm knee deep in snow instead of sand.

[@nevermind2394]

Riley - LOVED your little talk about crowdfunding and Patreon! Amazing timing for me, as I’ve been wondering if it was a good idea for me to sign up as a creator (I’m a musician) and it seems like fate that you posted this talk right while I was vacillating ... WILD! Thank you very very much for all that you and Elayna do - and now wee Lenny! Love you guys - yer brilliant!

[@doodsanddudes]

Oh so cool you left it in South Carolina . We are in Charleston and that is where I really learned our boat. Not a sailboat but a starter jut to get us out on the water. My wife always would say watch your depth! Lol like every five minutes. Nothing better then being on the water. You guys are friggen amazing doods. Inspiring for me and my little channel.

[@theajeff]

Really like your take on the Patreon tool and patrons' relationship to your work. Authentic, thoughtful, and real.

[@HopeOfJoe]

What a wonderful, straight, in-your-face vlog !! It's what makes you guys one of the top !! Loved the fotos on IG of Elayana and Lenny today. Know you guys are rushing to catch up and share him on the channel, yet the time taken to get back aboard, get precious Lenny acclimated and all three of you synced is precious to you as well. Love you guys. 😊⛵️🚣⚓️🍷👍👌🤘✨

[@480pilot]

Riley, one dad to another, you will be great! And to you MOM, awesome is the gift you grant the world!!! Safe travels MATES!!

[@smmlo]

The shots are even more beautiful than normal. Always Such wonderful quality videos. You are very talented.

[@jasonthomas2741]

I really enjoyed Riley's ending to this video. It showed that side to his nature we don't see much of. But Riley's skits, content, and the things he creates have always been genuine. Had to say cheers

[@shawntaylor2395]

Your story and video's have motivated me and my wife to begin making the plans for our adventure to begin. Thanks for the videos.

[@christyrrell9762]

Hey Riley, maybe try filleting from the head down to the tail, flip over the fillet still attached and run your knife back under the skin. Keeping the fillet attached to the frame gives you a handle when skinning the fillet

[@marthalucas1221]

Great work you two! Riley good choice to share your thoughts on crowd funding. respect you and Elayna and your quality videos and values.

[@molly3609]

I desperately need you guys to make a playlist of your songs. Love every song you put in your videos.

[@lenam2114]

Thank you for the speech in the end, I love the quality of your videos and hope you will continue filming for quite a while. Much love to your little family from Germany ❤️ you are so inspiring to me and so many others, it is very relaxing and calming to watch your videos.

[@matthewherman5980]

Actually Riles - you guys are as good as the pros!!! Or I wouldn’t watch. I’m a bit of a movie buff, and I’m frequently impressed with MP’s skills. Be it content, editing, or just a shot of E’s feet ( with toe ring ) in a sunset. Really, humility has its place, but bottom line is... you a BAMF bro and now with the little one on board, please!!! ✌️& ❤️ UM

[@cv12steve74]

I'm sure by now someone has mentioned "Sailing the Farm" by Kenneth Neumeyer, with large segments on what and how to go fruits and veggies on a boat as well as veggies harvested from the sea.

[@kevingrimbeek2106]

OK, Riley. So, after watching your promo, I have decided I will be contributing because;- 1. Your show is very family friendly. 2. I love the story's you guys tell about each place of interest you have visited. 3. And your choice of accompanying music is just so appropriate. I won't repeat all the other accolades already mentioned, save to say I agree 💯%.

[@kevincarey1076]

Great commentary on Patreon Riley. When you finish your book you need to make it an audible book as well, you always sound so chill and relaxed. Another relaxing video guys, as always thank you for the adventure! Elayna, you can always try hydroponically grown veggies, or a small upside down soil-less tomato plant! Fair winds and following seas La Vagabond!

[@Kikihere]

You guys are so underrated!!!! The quality of your videos are truly amazing. Great entertainment and story telling in each video. I hope your channel continues to grow to what it very well deserves. Much respect for your work. Love you guys!!!

[@georgewelford8648]

You both inspire. Thanks for all the effort you put in to your videos. Please don’t stop!

[@bwalla50]

Once the little one comes along, you will have an entirely new set of adventures to both live through and share with us. I think that will bring you more patrons and followers. If you think boat life was busy before, just wait. Fair winds.

I got to swim with a turtle once, it was the most magical experience. I love what you two are producing for us🖤

[@the509s4]

Very well said dialogue at the end of your video Riley. Audiences always love to know the creators intentions and you hit it spot on!!!

[@FlatwaterVillage]

SLV, your adventures are so inspiring and fun to watch! It’s truly a pleasure to be a part of it 🙏✌🏻💙

[@genepollard234]

Hey guy's. Then you get the big lobsters 6 to 8 pounds and up try cooking the big legs. It's just like crab legs or better man. I used to mate on a sport fishing boat in the Florida Keys. We often went to the Bahamas for a week or more charters. In season in the middle 80's you could being back 6 LIVE lobsters per person on the boat. We had a live bait well across the back of the boat. This was to lobster hotel. When you could spear them if they measured 3 1/2 inches, but no females withs eggs. NO spear guns with triggers to be used !!! I love your video's and thanks again for your time making them.

[@donmurphy2902]

Thank you Riley for your very heartfelt justification for Crowdfunding your adventures and allowing some of us to live vicariously through your eyes!

[@dinos8557]

loving all the fishing. Hogfish are fantastic table fare.

[@larsahne]

I‘d love to see some sort of a „living of the land tutorial“ series! The basics of (spear)fishing, the process between catching and cooking and maybe even some recipes... keep up the good work and all the best for the future, regards from Switzerland

[@5pinningmy13ottle]

I always wanted a sailboat, a successful KZbin channel, and a healthy relationship with a little cheeky banter in it lmao. You guys are the closest thing to it that I can watch and be inspired from. At the moment, because of you guys, I’m saving up for a good laptop so I can do some projects and also become a content creator!

[@pumarob]

Everyone commenting about marriage, mind your own business. They’ll do what feels right to them, and is within their own belief, in their own time. It’s not 1954 anymore 😜 Keep up the awesome content SLV, very inspirational.

Love this channel! ❤️ I also love Sailing into Freedom - ep. 333 left me smiling for hours

[@AlienDNA6971]

Love your channel guys.. kids and family are what it's all about.. well done.. we have 5. It's hard work at times but so worth it..

[@flyingcheff]

It would be great to see a video on how you two problem solve within your relationship. It's a reality you cope with/handle, and obviously quite well. That's so awesome! Also, make a "How to" on fileting a fish (what is the technique, where do you start and why there?)......a lobster, etc. Why do you not make sure the fish /lobster is dead before you start slicing or cutting off tails?

[@Rainstorm47397]

As an effective altruist, I am so so happy that you guys are supporting AMF, on the basis that it's GiveWell's top recommended charity! I've commented about effective altruism before because I think Riley especially would be really interested in its principles and ideas, so I hope that you've been able to have a look at some other EA resources! Ps. Someone who was chairing a debate I attended the other day had an SLV sticker on the back of their laptop - amazing to see you guys being represented out and about in the real world ;)

[@kimtaylor6149]

You two are just amazing! Great content, great underwater video, The baby makes Three! THANKS for your crowd funding video , your honesty.. sail on when time is right, beautiful people!!!

[@h1man99]

Videos are awesome man. You've inspired a lot of people and it's not too bad watching these from a cubicle until we can sail on our own. Put an offer in on a smaller boat, but I cant wait.

As always, another one out of the park. I love that you guys allow us to share your amazing lives. Thank you for the great content. Looking forward to meeting that turtle.

Hey some country music. Music you can actually dance to. Just danced with a woman from London last night and she said it is unique to Texas. Great opening rhythm. 2 weeks ago I went to the Broken Spoke with some people from Luxembourg that have never seen partner dancing except some at some show. They were inspired. Guy was dancing with his wife and holding his little girl in arms. Good to see.
