Following along with you all is like reading a good book or watching a good movie. The narratives and characters are great, the imagery, the emotions, etc. There are cliffhangers and chapters. But then again, this is an ongoing documentary and truth is stranger than fiction; sometimes it's more exciting! Thanks for creating this journey and props to all of the editing and storytelling. I look forward to the next chapter!

Thanks Dave 😊

Sad to see Ellie go. You always manage to find the perfect crew! Good luck to you in this next chapter.

That's because the imperfect crew always mysteriously disappears somewhere between filming and the final cut... Lots of water, lead diving belts, 'nuff said ;-)

So sad to see Ellie go - she’s such a sweetheart!

I think there is a hint of sadness for so many people who watch your videos. We've all been on this journey on this boat for so long watching your life adventures and growth of family.

It’s been a “treat” watching Lenny and Darwin grow up as you sailed the Vagabond-thank you for sharing…nothing but continued success on the new Trimaran-can’t wait for your new adventures…be safe always!

You guys are truly inspirational🎉😊, and as a very Senior Citizen, you have restored my Faith in your generation.

I cant! It’s so silly but, I am in tears. Been here since the first year in! You’re all a part of my life now and we’ve even never met! How silly? I’ve laughed, cried and been completely engaged in your lives for so long that this all feels personally sad and so exciting for me! I cant even imagine how it feels for you all. I seriously and whole heartily hope for and wish you all just the best damned future adventures that life can bring you. I truly appreciate all of the hard work and personal sacrifices that you make for us. Looking so forward to what the next years will bring. Love you all!

It’s really sad to know that you guys won’t be on the catamaran anymore I remember how excited you both were when you got it and I can’t wait to see how excited you guys are going to be when your finally on the new sailboat ⛵️

[@lawrenceg1821]

Wow. Big moment. Very sad. I was sad when you left Vaga 1. Now this is really sad, but, hey, back then it was two kids in the Pacific, and now it's a party of four. Amazing. Time flies. Riley. Good on ya, mate.

Y’all should have a reunion some day of all the crew you’ve had!! 🤍

[@linerobichaud6022]

My husband and I have been watching since episode 7! We remember Riley jumping off the mast when you reached 100k subscribers. That feels like a lifetime ago now. We look forward to your episodes each week. We loved watching you transform from a young couple in love to a family of four. We really enjoy all your adventures. We’ve laughed at Riley’s productions in the early days. We miss seeing bilgey starring in his videos lol!!!! We still often talk about the episode where Elayna let the Derado fall back into the water. Thank you for sharing your life, your ups and your downs, with us!

Thank God you have finished this chapter and are safe and on the way to the next. I have been worried since we have had such a weird, unxpected, and destructive hurricane season. We have been finding more bodies daily since Fiona hit us, then Ian struck Florida and the Carolinas and Now Julia has torn across and all the way over to the Pacific with hundreds missing. The ammount of rain has been insane and there have been really significant storm surges and waves also. Thank you for having brought us along on your life voyage and thanks for allowing us furture adventures.

SAME ❤

[@barbraallbritton4222]

I would agree!

[@Aviciidoesstuff]

I’ve watched your channel long before Lenny was born. It’s been so exciting to watch his development! Seeing his brother following him around reminds me of my own great nephews. I love your channel more than any other YouRube channel because Elayna does such a fantastic job of story telling and Riley teaches me how to sail even though I will likely not experience that in my lifetime. I have enjoyed watching your crews over the years work together. I love your animations and drone shots. You’ve convinced me that the Bahamas are paradise and I will go there once I get a kidney transplant!! I’m super-excited for your upcoming adventures. It’s like leveling up on a video game!! Safe and happy travels, La Vagabonde family!!

[@jayg7889]

I love how even after many years of being on camera you can tell that Riley is still conscious of what his mates will think when he's talking to camera.

[@lotusdolphin]

So hard to watch Ellie go. Can’t wait until she returns. She’s such a sweetheart. Aunt Ellie❤. Also tough to watch you guys step off the Vagabon for the last time kind of a bitter sweet moment knowing that you’re going to be going on to bigger and better adventures with a bigger and better boat. The cat will always have your heart because the boys started their lives on this boat. But they will truly grow up on the next one. So glad you guys are OK. Was really worried with the hurricanes that are tearing at the US And Caribbean. Looking forward to the Arctic trip and then on to Vietnam to get the new baby. I remember you were so excited when you got the cat. Snuck on and slept one night early. You cheeky things lol. Truth be told I would’ve done the exact same thing! You guys be safe always have fair wins at your back happiness and love to surround you. Sending massive amounts of love from California💜💜😎🇺🇸⛵️

So cool to see what you are doing with the leather for the new boat. I bought a single, two and 3 seater couches for a few bucks, that were destined for the tip, to re-upholster a 1953 chevrolet coupe that I am building. As hot rodders we are always looking for way to re-use and re-purpose old cars and parts and have fun doing it. It has been great watching your story, meeting you in whangarei nz and I look forward to seeing what the future brings for you and your family. Cheers. Wade.

[@alexandertelehin3425]

I am so much looking forward to your family settling in on your new trimaran in Vietnam. Especially when you hoist minimal sails just to see how what will be your normal safe cruising speed.

Then came La Vaga 11 and the boys. Now you are on to big adventures, I am looking forward to see La Vagabond 111, but I must say I think I will miss this cat. I can imagine how much you will miss Ellie. We didn’t see a lot of her but what I saw was a patient , loving, and efficient young woman. Please stay safe!

Glad to hear you like the East Coast. It really is beautiful. We were in Virginia for many years, originally from Vermont. Sadly, the trees- are really not so old. The lumber companies have bought and removed most of the really old trees. They might be up to 75 years, but many are less. The extremely beautiful, very old and large trees are a rare find. Maybe you'll get to see the Appalachian Trail someday!

Yes, it is very sad but very exciting for the new adventures. You guys are gonna be having plus is also very sad that Ellie is leaving but will be seen hopefully in the future.
