One Month of Sailing in New Zealand. Trip of a Lifetime! Ep. 76

Wow. We’d heard sailing the New Zealand coastline was going to be pretty epic, but we really had not expected such beauty. Sailing the rugged east coast from the Bay of Islands down to Auckland and back was quite the adventure. This weather is still going to take us some time to get used to. Join us in the longest SLV episode ever made!! It took me a bloody long time to make. Lots of love, Elayna

[@NoelCarolyn]

A long episode!!! This made me want to visit New Zealand lol...

[@Indigo_newness]

Sailing La Vagabonde enjoy it over there ,my homeland but living on the Gold Coast Australia now....wish you could go to ha hei beach and hot water beach .....all along the coromandel peninsula so beautiful......... enjoy guys.......... so envious....xx⛵️

[@vikz5786]

Noel Carolyn You won't regret it if you do visit. Furthermore SLV were only in one region. In the South Island it's a very different landscape but also very beautiful.

[@jamesfru118]

If you ever do.. south island is far more breath taking

[@henryhheron6723]

they do sailability at my local yacht club and the best thing is there is a club championships for them and they race with me in an opti

[@peewaye]

Long episode indeed! I guess that's what happens when they find a good WiFi!!

[@PetChucacabra]

Elayna: "He's an absolute wizard with that drone, the both of ya" Riley: "I'm good too Elayna" Hahahah

[@JMac-27]

Caitlin Towler oh my God I've never heard him sound so sad, lol

[@Joey-bv5fk]

best episode yet. one of the rare videos on KZbin where you don't want to skip forward to the interesting bits

[@mountainconstructions]

Abbey is absolutely adorable, yacht life, boat life isn't for everyone, but she got outside her comfort zone, and that is where living begins :)

[@montgoss]

Cool to see Bryce from "Living Big in a Tiny House". I'm pretty sure I found SLV via Bryce's videos. KZbin's algorithms went from tiny houses -> house boats -> SLV!

[@nicholasperrin1097]

Exactly how I found SLV. Was awesome to see him aboard La Vaga!

[@ezekiel6789]

Yep, me too

[@PierreTL]

ah was wondering why I had those recommendations too! :)

[@grantevans9431]

I have been watching La Vagabond from the first episode and I am amazed at how Riley and Elena have grown and matured as people. It has been a privilege to travel with them and inhabit a small part of their world.

[@brickleberry7829]

Abby will be missed. She brought to the show a natural wholesome cuteness. She looked comfortable being herself. No thick layer of makeup need. All the best in your future Abby. May it be full of happiness.

[@abbeymulraney4036]

Brickleberry This is my favourite comment ever, thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@zennmomma2801]

Abbey Mulraney Best of luck to you! Please keep us posted on where life takes you next. You're a gem 💕

[@abbeymulraney4036]

zennmomma Thank you! I am uploading my own video next week :)

[@baysike]

if every Australian girl is as cute as you are, I should get a plane ticket!

[@user-glennbob]

Abbey Mulraney Abby your beautiful ❤❤

[@livingbig]

Cheers guys! Was awesome to spend some time on board. Can't wait to check out the new Vagabonde! :)

[@paulodeoliveira3368]

Was great seeing Bryce on la vagabonde..

[@AdamShaiken]

Too bad for Abbey !, Elayna, though, you absolutely glow when you are out on the ocean. You wear the La Vagabonde life extremely well, indeed, and it's obviously good for your soul, health and well being...though as you've stated it is not for everyone. Love the longer video.

[@jcmorgan26]

+Sailing La Vagabonde you should invite Abbey back when you get the catamaran. They're usually more stable so she might not be affected so badly.

[@seb_travel]

Crewed a Cat for a while and the owner bought it predominantly so his easily sea sick daughter could join in family trips. Not perfect, but definitely less inducement. A couple of his friends had similar issues and were far happier to flotilla aboard the Cat than our monohull companions. I suspect the broad patio spaces of Cat help.

[@walk8771]

Love how the video is so raw. It's nice to see way more

[@albionparrot5607]

So sorry to see Abby go. Dealing with the sicks is an awful thing. But if it's not to be, then there's a reason for it. Best of luck to Abby in her future.

[@tahlialudlow6773]

Elayna and Riley: I recognize that these videos can often unintentionally simplify the difficulties of your adventure and lead to your encountering people who like the idea of sailing but aren't necessarily going to enjoy the experience, and I find there is sometimes a lack of support for Elayna in these comments and hope you're able to brush the negativity off. thanks for the long one and good luck!

[@SVELFARO]

Not to many that can post a hour long video and have most watch every frame of it, Great job Elayna. hope you are have having fun getting to know the new boat. - Dave Vancouver BC

[@randygilmour]

Too bad you lost Abbey, I can imagine the extra help appreciated. Great video, one of the best.

[@amosgross479]

Thanks for meeting sail ability my wife and I have been watching all the episodes you two have posted, I'm a paraplegic myself and went sailing with my friend Ryan and we have been talking about giving sailing a shot as a way to travel with special needs and see other places. Keep it real and stay safe!!! We love taking the sail along with you.

[@witness283]

Aww I really liked Abbey! Hope she finds success back in Australia :) On another note, 53mins of SLV!! Incredible!

[@tsarrite]

My dad at 83 is still diving, spear fishing and catching lobster by hand here in CA, Channel Islands. I can see you doing the same at that age Riley. =)

[@TwylaWorld]

I spent several years as an airborne radio traffic reporter, flying in the back seat of 4 seat plane with all of my radio equipment. I remember my first months throwing up between my traffic reports into a plastic bag! :( I tried every herbal remedy, ginger, wrist bands, patches, you name it. It was medication (meclizine) that finally did the trick for me. Everybody is different of course. I only had to take it for a few weeks until my inner ear adjusted. Motion sickness is brutal and I feel for Abbey!!! Being stuck out there with NOTHING... oh boy.. awful! And GREAT vid by the way! An hour! That was a special treat! :)

[@MrSoGen1]

Thank you for sharing..... Tonight i will be dreaming of crossing oceans, tomorrow i will be skiing with my daughter, trying to convince her once again that we should live on a boat and discover the world while i am still upright. Cheers to my favorite Australian couple.

[@howiefelter22]

Abbey all the best in your new endeavors. You will be missed.

[@timhill473]

Great video, never realized New Zeland is so beautiful looks like a great place to live

[@dianes4858]

I LOVED this episode! NZ is my favorite place in the whole world! I've been there twice and can't wait to go back again. Bay of Islands and the Coromandel ere my favorite places so far. Fair winds and following seas on your new journey aboard La Vagabonde II ;-)

[@Gladtobemom]

Today was considerably improved by watching this video. Thank you for making it.

[@torsteinrocks]

Better than any TV show, you guys are awesome.

[@scotted3140]

I really enjoy the longer videos. And good job to Abbey for at least given it a try you never if it's for you or not until you try.

[@Leib33]

Yay JP! Ever since you guys made that video flying with him, I went and binge watched all his candourist KZbin videos and subscribed. I'm waiting for more dude!

[@rwdyer2263]

What I liked most about this episode: Very long. I can't get enough of you two. Lots of Elay being silly and lots of each of you reflecting. I really like listening to you pour your hearts out to us. Thank you so much guys! Plenty of beautiful scenery--sunsets, culture, storms, etc. I like meeting or when you meet people on the street. Like the disability sailing group. That was pretty awesome. Riley, Yes, you are pretty much a wizard on the drone too. ("I'm pretty good too Elayna.") haha. I kind of felt sorry for you Riley when she said the other two guys were wizards but did not compliment you. I'm sure she knows you rock though! lol. 3 years?!! Wow. I've watched you since episode one. Hard to believe it's been three years and I still have not done any significant sailing with Amazing Grace (my boat). Sigh. Soon, I hope. God speed my friends! With much aloha, Rick & Mayville on Oahu. p.s. when are you passing through here?

[@BrentonKlik]

The worst sea sick I've been was moving my dad's Paceship 29' from Atlantic City, to Essington PA. The day we started out there was 20+ knot winds, 3-4 foot waves at a frequency of 30 feet. I chummed the water for hours. It wasn't until we passed through the Cape May canal, when the water calmed, that I felt better. Longest night of my life. I find it better just to be sick until your body can adjust to the boat (it will eventually). Taking dramamine makes me too tired to do anything. I end up sleeping all the time and missing the trip.

[@KombiLife]

VIEWERS: What are your thoughts on the longer format?

[@reetyul88]

Kombi Life, I like it.

[@KombiLife]

Looks like a lot of work went into it

[@PierreTL]

Though to watch for that long to be honest. Attention span is short and seeing the length scares a lot of people of but the die hard fans stay :-)

[@stephannieerb4428]

Kombi Life I loved the longer episode ❤Their videos are a work of art. Can't wait for the next one.

[@davidwestwood5968]

Good except for the longer adds...

[@danielwigren9123]

Amazing video! The content was as brilliant as always and the editing superb. Sailing around the world is, of course, a great achievement in itself, but doing it while producing videos of this quality is truly astonishing!

[@annemacleod1421]

I’m catching up on back videos … and as a New Zealander, feeling proud of Riley and Elayna for this ‘long’ video and the history lesson on our nation’s discovery … all in all this has been a wonderful watch .. and these two have not changed… still their authentic selves! Have to say I prefer the catamaran vs. the Beneteau as the former is far quieter in heavy winds and sea. I’ve sailed yachts and not realised there’s a smoother ride on a cat!! Sailing in the Waitemata Harbour is fab on a sunny day. Okey comes back … hilarious and clearly a very good mate. Abby is a sweet gal and I hope her decisions panned out for the best. You do pick up some excellent crew..JP, Bryce, Patrick. Watching 12Jan22.. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿👏🏼👏🏼

[@sideshowjimmy4204]

Great to see you enjoying being back on the water and well done for highlighting Sailability. This is such a wonderful organisation, which is replicated all around the world in various guises. As you know well, the freedom and sense of wonder that being on the water can give to people is priceless, so being able to do that despite a disability is even more fulfilling. Cheers from Albany in Western Australia :)

[@Andyreas81]

Wow, that episode just flew by, watching the timer at 5 min and then baam 50...nice work guys!

[@MrRayroscoe]

Great videos. I have a tip for you. When cutting onions wear underwater goggles, they work a treat. I've been wearing goggles for thirty years when peeling and chopping onions. I used to wear the full face mask with the 18 inch pipe connected and a ping pong ball in the end. I stopped wearing that cos I got a knock at the door and opened the door looking like turnip and trying to hold a sensible conversation with a neighbour who was still in hysterics when he left. Funnily enough, his eyes were steaming but not because of onions! Needless to say, I decided to wear just the goggles that cover they eyes. Ok, you may look daft, but better that than your eyes stinging. If you are just cutting onions, then do it underwater, the onion under water that is. I've just noticed in ep 76 about 20 mins in, there was a shark in view. Its dorsal fin was huge, bigger than the boats Happy sailing

[@brendaninnes9057]

"Work hard, be good to your mother". Hahaha champion!

[@rfb91a]

The old saying is that the two levels of seasickness are First, , you feel you're going to die,,, Second, , you're afraid you won't.

[@thomasjones6955]

rfb91a That's a perfect description!

[@Stryke607]

yeah, seasickness is terrible. And noone is really immune to it, people just have varying limits at which they are becoming seasick.

[@Deep.Purple]

haha

[@jasoncatt]

Am I the only one in love with Elayna's eyebrows?

[@zennmomma2801]

You guys.... Amazing episode! And my eyes full on sprung a leak (no onions were involved) when you highlighted Sail Ability!!! Love it. I'm newly chronically ill and mobility is challenging... To be able to be out on the ocean again would be a dream come true. Time to look into options here in Canada 💕

[@kevinoh8132]

quite possibly one of my favourite episodes so far. 53minutes of immersion in your adventure makes my day better. thanks guys

[@999aas]

Riley Elayna, thank you for all your vids it is lovely to see you going on life's adventure and taking us along with you

[@danielhoyle3546]

Excellent video. Beautiful photography, interesting stories. Thank you.

who the hell is thumbs downing these vids🤔? they're the best!...thx Elay & Riles for extra long vid...so great!

[@jo-annegawley5027]

Probably those few privileged jerks trying to get people to watch their over indulgent phony sailing videos. You know those few that sexualized nearly every clip or are silver spoon Fed phonies. This is a lovely family that worked their way and EARNED our patronage.

Love that you have such long videos for New Zealand. I'm a Kiwi (albeit currently living in Melbourne) and it makes me very proud to see my lovely home country presented by you guys.

Can't describe how happy I got when I realized this was an hour long!!!! Loved it! Take care guys! Cheers from Greece!

Almost 54 minutes of SLV!?!? This is AMAZING!!!

Love the feature length!!!!

That was one my favorite videos yet! So sorry to see Abbey go and I wish her all the best in her career. The drone shots were absolutely amazing!!!

Thank you Elayna and Riley!!! :) We woke up in a snow covered Oregon this morning and WOW - there you were just waiting to greet us!!! :)

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

Abby, Never let anyone tell you you're not one tough cookie, cause you are. Good Luck!

I am so jealous about you two, your lives look amazing and fun and always learning. I'm a few years I am hoping to a boat like yours now

[@Tigersmundo]

Epic!! The drone was awesome love the view of La Vagabond now this makes it a happy complete closure of her last days.

[@mayflowerlash11]

This just gets better and better. Elayna is whispering to the camera again, Riley advises that we should work hard and be good to our mothers and then when Riley and Elayna dispute whether its Sat or Sun Riley's mate sagely observes, "Just like a married couple". LOL

[@markmorrans1325]

What a fantastic episode. An hour long La Vagabonde is the best gift you've given us. I can't wait for more!❤

LOVING THE LONG FORM VIDEO

[@padraicmchale]

One of the best episodes yet. New Zealand looks amazing. Can't wait to see more. Fair winds!

[@liverpool6058]

This is possibly the best episode of SLV to date. I finally am up to date with my all time favorite YT channel after starting from the Med ep. 1 last week, these past 4 years have been epic and I'm starting to get sentimental because you guys are moving on to the cat and La Vaga carries so many memories with her. Gave a like to every single one of you episodes and hope to meet the pair of you one day and to invite you both to stay for free as long as you want in my eco resort that I'm building in remote East Indonesia. Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world with arguably the most diverse people that inhabit it, with 17,000 islands to explore. The East of Indonesia is currently the last frontier of South East Asia and I would love to show you around the province of East Indo that I call home, Maluku. Hopefuly you guys will see this and consider sailing in Indonesia one day. You really are an inspiration for me to keep pursuing my dream of keeping East Indonesia a clean place for tourism to sustainably develop in. Much love, Jamen

Awwww, going to miss Abbey, she is a cuteee with a great personality....Wish her the very best!!!!! Great video Elayna & Riley.... Some beautiful scenery and very nice editing work on a nice extended length video...

[@auredavids2489]

This was such a great episode. at first i thought it was way to long but now after watching it i feel completely mellow and relaxed! It becomes more of a story and you get to see the highs and lows.. those shorter episodes tent to be more happy and (maybe) superficial. I also loved the music and those drone shots give a great sense of the scale and solitude of sailing! Wonderful stuff guys!

[@oblivionzzzmike]

24:20 ...Riley's friend: - "you're starting to sound like a married couple" ...lol

[@drumsetjunky]

LOVE! the long format of this one. Thanks for taking the time to edit it! Those drone shots were gorgeous. ^_^ Cheers to my favorite KZbinrs from all the way here in Texas!

[@alexandrealonsoarmand9020]

That's a lot to take in on a busy Monday of work. Many thanks for each and every minute that you have spent editing this. Pure gold. Gracias La Vagabonde!

[@stevecrombie5357]

Thanks as always guys. I would love a video this long all the time. I know I know not possible, but it would be most cool. I also love it when you lay there and just talk to us Elayna. You manage to make it very personal. I couldn't image trying to join your crew like Abbey did on a permanent basis, you two are so close one would always be an outsider. This doesn't apply to Rileys dad.

[@IM4K3M0N3Y]

Would oh so enjoy all of your future videos to be an hour or more in length. Cant ever get enough of your guys living the dream!

this is a one time thing.... this ep was to get us caught up to real time and not a month behind as they are transitioning to their new boat

[@passgas4u]

Very honest episode. Kind of refreshing. Nice to see the strong side of Elayna

[@MikeKoss]

Feel bad for Abbey - Transdermal Scopalamine for sea sickness works really well. Get a prescription from your doc.

[@psychomaji]

chewing on a bit of fresh ginger is the best. old sailors trick but it really works!

[@ericcorse]

It is miserble.

[@davidwelsh829]

going out of the cabin and looking at the horizon cures seasickness almost instantly, no nothing needed

[@ElleDelSol]

^^ this works for me while i'm looking at something stationary. (The horizon, a slow moving cloud, weather balloon if near shore) But as soon as I go back to doing anything else I'm back to being sick. It's a horrible, miserable time. Luckily it doesn't happen to me very often, and usually passes after an hour or two of rail time.

[@nancymelnikoff]

I've gotten motion sick since I was 1 year old according to my Dad. Scopolamine is amazing. You have to apply it one day in advance and may give you dry mouth but it's totally worth it.

[@sherbornecars4064]

Brilliant video guys, wow and 53 minutes as well. Shame about Abbey, wishing her all the best. Who is that South African engineer fixing the winch? I think you have spent more time in New Zealand than anywhere else in the world.... Can't wait for "Catalayna" videos after 4th March. Coolbeans.

Haha..right? Pretty amazing that she keeps them looking that good all the time.

[@arielambrose2225]

Same! I'm so curious about her beauty routine, which I'm sure is mostly just genetics loll.

[@russpost2557]

That was one of the first things I noticed about her . They are very thick , looking like brook shields eye brows.

[@soulcatch]

I liked Abbey a lot and I subbed to her channel weeks ago, but I have to say I think this channel will be better without her. This is not a slight on her abilities. I just think that SLV works better with an informal format. I think having a hired videographer takes away some of the personality of the videos and make it feel more like a "production" than just a couple filming their epic adventures. That being said I wish Abbey the very best of luck in the future. I am sure she is going to go on to do amazing things.

Love the long compilation. Nice change of pace. Looking forward to Part II and visiting New Zealand some day.
