Would u tale me abroad?

[@melissakelley1959]

If you ever come to Florida you’ll have a free ride in my mom and dads airplanes. Vero beach and they live on their own private little compound with their own airstrip for take off and landing in the back yard.

[@Joe_Murphy-REV_Realty]

What a wonderful video, you two!! Love you, Shmookie Pants!! 😂😂 You both make an old man happy!

[@DJPetrou]

Hey guys. Have your developers do a quick rewrite of sea people in flutter. That way the app will run on any device. I know everybody starts out app dev with iOS but you don't really realize how much Android is out there. We just rewrote all of our stuff in Flutter. One app, all devices. Also, Riley, either cut all that hair off or stop cutting it all. 😳😳😳

[@jeffreyyahiro9704]

Honestly for me the longer the video the better! These are incredible! I'm not a sailor in the slightest and this is still one of my top favorite youtube channels! Keep doing your thing guys! I look forward to these videos!

[@brandonboand]

Definitely longer videos of this caliber are wonderful ❤

[@valkimmel6596]

Agree

[@faithstanley4135]

Couldn't had said it better!

Same Here! THE BOAT IS THE SEXIEST OF ALL MY CHANNELS 😎💯 THE WYNNS boat is really close tho… lol

[@2DLAKE2]

Same here! THE BOAT IS THE SEXIEST OF ALL MY CHANNELS! GONE with the WyNNS is darn SHARP too 😊

[@stevecastro22]

It's unquestionably the best video that you have ever done. The boat's performance, Elayna playing Pink Floyd on the guitar, gorgeous skies, blue water, great crew, and your speed looked like you were a power boat. Also, Riley's workouts are paying dividends as you are looking RIPPED brother. Thanks guys for a stellar episode!!! PS- A Gatling gun has multiple barrels.....

Nope Good but there are better

Have a feeling those muscles are mostly for function. Seems like a little muscle can come in handy manhandling that Beast of a Vessel...

[@ekoado3373]

The Greta Thunberg episode was pretty good.

[@danfadden]

Riley diving with Lenny was so very cool. As a parent myself, I often think about something my father told me when I became a parent in ‘95. He said, “Once you have children your mission becomes making memories for them, so make them good ones.” I knew that the days, while they are young, flys by in a blink. So don’t blink and take advantage every single moment. It seems like Riley knows that too.

[@imdawolfman2698]

I had a brutal, traumatic childhood I'm not likely to recover from. When I watch these videos and see the boys I laugh and cry for joy. I can imagine the memories they will hold.

[@safeasbtc]

Honestly, why watch the rubbish on regular TV anymore when SLV puts up content like this! Thanks guys.

[@Sarah-Graham575]

Lenny and Darwin fill my heart with those smiles and twinkly gleams of innocent mischief in their eyes! Thank you for sharing them. And thank you for following their needs before worrying about ours…they come first, always. Gotta keep those smiles on their faces✨

[@bemazizi4863]

It’s awesome to know people still enjoy long form videos because I absolutely do. Your videos are so heartwarming, inspiring, and dreamy. Wish you all the best of luck.

[@JessicaNiles]

Lenny's choice of goggles kill me. 😂 Keep up the hour-long, raw episodes guys. We love 'em!

[@kathyl3918]

I have an old lady crush on Forrest:) He is so natural with the kids. His questions he asks them and his kindness are such wonderful traits. You all are truly lucky to have these friends around you and the family, as Riley said. What perfect days! I love seeing your smiles, these days. You always belong on Mother Ocean>

[@danielleraymond5451]

Lenny diving and Darwin talking (“are you kidding me?”) were mu favorite parts. Looks like Lenny needs some rope of his own to tie knots with

[@garrycollie2135]

We said the same thing about Lenny getting his own rope. Maybe a book on knot tying too!

[@alagator809]

Maybe they could make like a knot board for them to practice knots on!

[@garrycollie2135]

@alagator809 I like that idea!

[@TimeToEvolve101]

Wonderful luv these longer ones🫶🏽💜🪷👏🏼

[@tinalouisehenderson8545]

The boys are just the most beautiful souls. Mischievous, adventurous, sweet and innately kind and innocent. Your videos are amazing and as far as I am concerned, the longer they are, the better! Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

[@gholzem]

I have been watching you from Oregon since you started KZbin. I am disabled and love watching you for my mental health. Dealing with major depression and health issues. Your channel and voyages and children have gotten me through some rough times. Thank you and keep it up!!!!

[@sethbrooks1337]

I am an Aussie watching from Oregon too. Good for our mental health when the rain wont go away.

[@jennirosey]

Who needs hollyweird movies when this real life family adventure is available! Best movie ever!!! A -list action! Love the kora music in background...

[@KHAZ-tl4pt]

Wow, that was so worth the wait. I personally like the longer and less frequent episodes, but thats just my opinion. I have to say one thing...its SO NICE to see Elayna and Riley showing more affection to each other. But what Im seeing is not staged - it is truly genuine. Im pretty sure it ALL has to do with theirs lives being so much better these days. And boy, do they deserve it. The past couple years have been somewhat fragmented. But now they all seem to be back in their true element. I wish all of you guys on La Vagabonde, continued Peace and safe experiences and journeys!

[@brandonboand]

If your reading this, I hope you two know how talented you are not only as sailors, but producing creative content ❤ I know your very real and humble people so please pat yourself on the back.

[@andyp91]

haha! agree except the last part. Do humble folks pat themselves on the back?

[@christyphucas]

The hour literally FLIES by. Absolutely love these longer unfiltered episodes!! (Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I need a short one too!!)

[@jerryquinn8830]

Like the hour long "movies" ? Hell, I LOVE the hour longs. PLEASE continue with these.

[@katebriggs9301]

You can just see the love these two have for each other by the way he smiles at Elayna and when she giggles at his jokes! Love it! Stay safe! Definitely need more hour long videos! ❤

[@tillysanders2593]

I was thinking baby # 3 might be happening soon .. a sister for the boys perhaps

[@AdvantureZach]

I don’t sit down and actually watch any channels anymore, I use KZbin mostly for information these days. I was escaping to other people’s lives too often and barely living my own. But I will always pause, sit down, and enjoy SLV, especially the long episodes. When other channels say unfiltered it translates directly to boredom, when SLV does says it, the translation is immersive escape to a different time and place.

[@lins8753]

That’s so true

[@lifewithlarsandsusie8315]

I agree! Maybe because it’s so different than my life that I can watch it for enjoyment instead of wishing it was my life.

[@AdvantureZach]

@@lifewithlarsandsusie8315I think it’s similar for me. I live in a van and travel nomadically as well, but the ocean is a completely different world! I can’t stand to watch vanlifers anymore, but I did when I was working towards this life.

[@antandshell]

This sounds so familiar ❤

[@ricknewell6757]

The kids are my favorite, and they always make me smile. My suggestion for Lenny and his knots 🪢 let him make a casting net would give an education and something useful for the boat. Also love to see how fast that boat is.

[@UUBrahman]

Riley seems perfectly happy and the relationship appears rock solid - congratulations.

[@Amberdeedo]

I love seeing Lenny and Darwin's personalities bloom! Darwin is such a silly boy 😭❤️❤️ what a life to live! So special 😊

[@Golden_Pilot_21]

The smile on Riley’s face when that white kite thingy unfurled, says it all! He was so proud and we are so proud of you and Elayna.

[@Bewaliver]

It’s amazing to see how far you guys have come from guy meets girl who was just sailing for enjoyment and then Elayna started consistently documenting your adventures. Now raising a family together and so many irons in the fire. You two are total beasts. Thanks for your hard…hard work! Editing an hour long video isn’t an easy task and then add everything else into the mix. Oh and Riley…you’re huge! Truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing this beautiful sail with us. Stay safe out there guys.

[@krissieh112]

From someone who has been on a sailboat in the open ocean, I don't think anyone realizes how hard it is to live on a ship. When you are sailing, being in the cabin is at the best a little nauseating. Long Live Sailing LaVagabond! I have been watching you guys since 2018. I couldn't imagine going that fast! Being in dead air and having to motor is not ideal. Good on you guys! It must be exhilarating!

[@sanketduhoon235]

forrest's drone shots are epic, the editing and background score was nice as well. and darwin's is slowly building his character, he is funny. Loved the vid!!!

[@gabrielmatthews1671]

Sexton Time

[@drewgrove6622]

This was my favorite episode by far in a long time. Seeing Riley look truly happy sailing that rocket, seeing Elayna and Riley look at each other with love and especially the moment Riley took Lenny diving. As a father that one really got to me. I know I just watch week to week but I can’t believe how fast the kids are growing up and becoming their own people. Love that! Warm wishes and safe travels. Hope you guys make it back to Annapolis again in the next couple of years. Was really fun meeting you!

[@kellyhawes9293]

It all FANTASTIC, but really...Riley's smile at 18knots is everything. ..he and Elena , The boys and crew; see their dream sails happen ❤

Microdosing and watching your videos is the absolute best healing experience.

[@aaronanderin]

You helped me with a free full version of your sailing guide and changed my life. You too showing raw how much you have fallen either back in love or further into love is so wholesome. Amazing footage and editing guys. We love yall! See yall on the water soon. Riles and Elay you're both legends.

[@MrThomasandersen]

I have said it before and I will say it again; I just love your extended long vlogs ❤😍 I mean I have loved all your videos and seen them all at least twice. But it’s something about these hour+ features, that just gets me even more. Thank you guys 🙏🏻❤️ I just love this new super fast boat of yours… it really blows me away and literally blows you away ⛵️

[@MrThomasandersen]

Another thing I’ve said before, and I will say again; You two are definitely the sexiest couple on KZbin. Can’t help it, I just have to put that out there again ❤😎😂

[@MrThomasandersen]

Thank you for the Heart and reading my comment Elayna and Riley 🙏🏻❤️ And a big advantage of having a paid Premium KZbin; is to NOT be interrupted by commercials, except for those from the vloggers do themselves. And in this case, BetterHelp, which I have used myself, it is definitely recommended, no doubt it helps me. And I also can recommend all viewers to watch all the content of the commercials that the vloggers do for their sponsors, because that gives the vloggers more income. I know.

[@stephh_nz]

LOVE the longer videos - it’s so great to really feel like we’re being taken on your journey. As a viewer you get so much more of what your lifestyle is really like. Darwin’s “are you kidding me?!” and Lenny’s starfish dance had me grinning - they’re such a joy!

[@Carolesouthport]

I love ur longer vids, the footage and places you go to are so picturesque and amazing….i am disabled due to health problems, I wasn’t always disabled when I was younger.but my biggest regret is that I didn’t travel around the world, so you making these vids, simply shows me all the places I would of loved to travel too…but even so, you have a beautiful family, the boys are growing up so quick, and I for one would watch ur vids even if they were 2 hours long……and am sure most of ur subscribers would too…it’s so interesting and informative too….please keep the longer vids, and make us older people dream……love n hugs to u all xxxxx❤xxxxxx

[@lydiaajohnson]

Those beaches, the sand, the rocks, the water, the trees are like a healing spa even through video. Thank you for doing such a good job showing the real place.

[@Danago1984]

I love this format. As someone who is unable to leave my house due to illness for am hour I felt like I was on an adventure. I hope one day I can get on the water too. I hope others enjoyed this so we get more. I laughed, I cried , I winced at the yucky up close finger injury. Absolutely stunning so enjoyable

[@JeremyCRunge]

If you can, watch this on an OLED TV. In 4k this episode is absolutely mind blowing. The colors... insane. Keep them hour long videos coming :) quality over quantity any day of the week.

[@clarion61]

The hour-long format is awesome, it gives us viewers a chance to absorb what's going on and allows you guys to show the pace of life on board. Also, the change in you two since you've been back on the water is incredible, I mean Riley has always seemed most alive on the ocean but Elay honestly your mental health must have improved so much because your face has changed dramatically, this whole video you have this palpable zen quality.

[@Feed-your-Fish]

[@marcb6896]

I love seeing your two be affectionate with each other. I love these long ones, they really capture the feeling of the sail. Thank you for all the work you do in putting the videos together. So glad to see Riley and Lenny diving together. My boys and I all like the same things and now that they are 30 and 24 we still enjoy our things together, Just awesome. Pleased to see Elay get the hang of the board. So awesome to have Riley have his favorite sail. It was like years of study, work and effort paying off right there and we got to witness it!

[@dingc.velasco6038]

Riley's design of the boat is now justified, but still more safety ropes must be installed around the edges of the bost for everyone's peace of mind. lnstalling them won't affect the speed or aesthetics but will add more safety. Thank you for sharing this awesome video, its as if we were there with you.

Love the raw footage. The most realistic video Ive seen yet. No acting and we get to see your quirks and see your enjoyment. You guys look so happy in this video.

[@pauldufour3072]

The way the screen opened on this occasion really drew me into the vlog. You're right, the views are tremendous and to see you all acting naturally was an added bonus. The waters looked so perfect, I transported myself there mentally and I really enjoyed it all. Just a simple note, Bren guns have a curved magazine on top whilst modern Midi and gatling guns are either belt fed or have large canisters below or to the side and the entire barrel stock revolves. I just simply cannot wait for the next episode. Thank you so much for the continuing stories and tales of your lives.

[@captainsteve19]

[@darrenykema979]

Yes I do like the longer format. It also gives you guys more time to just be while living an amazing life. Good to see you're all taking more personal time for yourselves.

[@sockeyevoyages8840]

Elayna & Riley, The long films feed me, more adventures afloat, ups and downs. Just came ashore from a week voyage. The challenges sweeten the whole ecperience. Thank you for showing the oats, the injuries, the monthly realities, and Lenny's and Darwin's knots. Glad to see the tri perform! I've struggled with unstayed furling sails, too. For managing such a huge sail, I'm a fan of the sock. I know it's a minor step down in performance, but with your small crew, ease of handling might reduce anxiety and increase use of them. Fastastic film! Thanks for the ride!

[@Neilhuny]

*SO MANY* great sections to this video! I actually enjoyed Elayna's piece to camera about BetterHelp - so genuine, honest and believable. You are a really good & genuine saleswoman! Extremely rare. Delighted to see a little of Elie, who I suspect is camera shy/wants a fair bit of privacy, and that's OK, but it was good to see her helming, helping with sails etc But the highlight for me was the few minutes we saw of Lenny & Riley free diving - any personal, meaningful sharing between a parent and child doing something they love is ALWAYS good. That was special

[@jeffreyj.4123]

I remember the first videos some of them where Riley would dive and spearfish, for dinner. And now you have children and have to go inland and do grocery shopping life has changed so much for you all I love this video it was a very good video y'all stay safe you live the life that people dream of

[@lelanhaley3755]

Thanks so much for the longer videos. I put everything on hold, lit one up and had the most relaxing hour with you guys. Definite thumbs up for the longer format. The new boat is a blast to watch especially as you go faster than wind speed. You guys are great! Lelan

Best episode yet, and I've been watching since the beginning. Just magical!!

[@andreaewert7204]

Really love the long video format! What an amazing few days of sailing you had! I'm impressed Lenny diving with Rily. I just snorkeled on the Big Island this past weekend after many years of not going out. It was fun but I got a bit panicked at the end when I realized how far along the reef I had gone but my hubby was right there and we made it back safely. ❤🤙🏻

The best things for mosquitos bites is to rubbed Tiger balm, it stops the itching rigth away and cool at the same time, and probably dirt cheap where you are. Diane

One of my favorite videos!!!! Love getting to see into your world and live vicariously through your journey! Would love to do this one day! 💕🥰🥹

Love the long format!

Excited to watch. Love the long videos, thanks

Hi all! I have enjoyed the ride since day one. What an incredible adventure you have both been on! The longer videos are wonderful! Definitely would like to see more in that style. You have both honed your skills over the years, with the capture of imagery, music choices, editing/story skills. I work in the field of motion picture and television post production and can attest to not only the skill and style of these videos ( don't want to call them "videos", little feature films i think.) but the amount of work it takes to get to the point you are now at. Oh, and then there's sailing and kids, places you'll go, the places you've been. Absolute respect for you and your rotating crew. I look forward to each and every film!!

LOVE YOUR CHANEL. Just found you tonight. This was similar to my life as a child in the 70's. Dad was a sailing addict. Your little ones are adorable! Omg...that tense Jibe when the spinnaker gets caught. Faster Elli !! Love the blue waters you finally arrived at. ...amazing!

Alayna, as we all know, is gorgeous. Riley, I’m not sure what you have been doing but you appear to be really muscling up! You are buffed! ❤️🇨🇦

I personally like the shorter videos in between a long one ever so often. Thanks for sharing your life with people on the Internet. I’ve been watching for years and I am so happy and proud of you guys working so hard and being able to buy the boat of your dreams. All while raising a family. Your family and everybody you happen to have on board are such beautiful people. You add light and love to a world that can be ugly.
