Fantastic video. Reverse osmosis remove all everything bacteria, viruses and minerals including salt. RO water is banned in all schools in China sighting children lost tooth. Many nursing home using RO water experience health depletion and loosing ability to walk. Although there is no scientific credentials to proof these finding. I would advise to keep mineral water especially for children. Enjoy your video. Cheers

@@user-dt4fp5bh4d It means I'm sold on the Spectra water maker. If it can make fresh water straight out of the sea then it must be good. Went to the Spectra website and they're the company behind Katadyn water filters.😃

[@Charlie-Oooooo]

Hey guys! Nice watermaker! Question: do you have to add minerals back in? Including Fluoride, for teeth? xo

[@kokoon2530]

Hey my posting is gone. Reverse osmosis water is mend for industrial use not purposed for human daily consumption unless no other options. There is no micro nutrients in r.o water. Get some mineral water. IMHO as part of the inventor created noble membranes for filter.

Lenny is such a deep thinking kiddo. Cherish and support that and he will make the world a better place. Darwin is a little comedian, love his spirit. It's always been a pleasure to see your adventures. Living vicariously through you all.

[@dirkharvey]

This was perhaps my most favorite form of media I have ever experience. I loved the slow parts in the middle where there was no narration and you guys let the camera tell the story. It was so quiet but loud and powerful. This was a brilliant masterpiece of film. I love all of you so much. It's amazing to see all of you grow in your own ways. Much love

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

Thank you thank you ☺️

[@maximebucher696]

Darwin violently coughing on the pancake dough and then the "catch me yo" really cracked me up😂😂 He's such a funny little dude!

[@ademptio]

You guys have become incredibly talented at film making, while also keeping it real. I've been followings along for the past couple years and I'm blown away. I know it takes some serious hard work and dedication. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying I really appreciate these 1 hour specials! Sending all the love and vibes I from Canada.

[@soulreaper9309]

One of the channels I actually look forward to seeing every week

[@maryweckerle9946]

If you guys don't get an award or awards for your film/ videos I don't know, this is so beautiful.

[@dirkharvey]

I agree, this was so incredible and really immersive in the camera work and story telling. So brilliant.

[@MimiDudli]

I don’t often comment on videos, but seriously you guys do such an amazing job at taking all of us on a journey, through your filming, editing and storytelling skills ❤️ and of course your fun and loving personalities are so funny and comforting 😄 thank you so much for sharing your stories and I just wish you all the best 🥰

[@Charlie-Oooooo]

LOL Darwin's stuck up top and says "Catch me yo' !" 51:40 😂❤😂❤!!! Evolving into the cutest little guy in the world! 😂

[@jenniferbyrd1970]

“Catch me yo”. Hahaha. So dang cute.

I still cannot believe he said that 🤣🤣

Great work guys! Just have to say I noticed how encouraging and kind Forrest is, everyone needs a Forrest in their lives ❤

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

They really do 🥲

[@plefrancke]

Well thank you guys for a great pick-me-up. I flew from my home on Bribie Island to visit a friend I met at an Aviation Course some ten years ago, he lives and conducts his business on Horn Island in the Torres Strait. During the first week I contracted Septicaemia and was airlifted from Horn Island to the Cairns Base Hospital ICU and the tropical infectious and disease ward. So tonight is ten days into my isolation and treatment of this insidious disease and you latest video arrives - so this 80 year old old has finally something of great interest to watch. A great one hour adventure, love to all on board La Vagabond. ❤

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

Oh my goodness?!! I’m so sorry to hear about this 😢 but I’m so glad you’re okay now ❤ thanks for being here

[@AmbersHouseDIY]

You two are a very strong team and I think that's how you've managed to do it. Synergy. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

[@paulalojek8305]

Loving this format. Feel like I’m there. It is being present rather than watching a production. Appreciate the work involved in your clip.

[@thejessmac]

What a great way to explain it! I love it too.

[@fcbrants]

Agree 100% - it's a totally immersive experience - pure bliss :-)

[@Juliegriffiths1]

Guys. You are producing Movie worthy videos. The editing. Music, Drone footage is phenomenal😮. 🎉. Sending love - thank you for taking us along - on something I am never going to do/see. Xxx🎉❤

[@j.gravett2878]

However short or long your videos are, just keep making them! They are a portal to another world that is fascinating, exciting, humorous & wonderful! Awesome anchor spot with calm water & privacy! 🩵🩷💙💜⚓️🐟🐠🐡🦀🐚

[@andreeabodea7758]

The cinematography of this video is next level. As a leisure sailor I felt like you captured the essence of what it means to be at sea (in good conditions). I am also happy to hear you guys learnt how to take breaks when you need it.

[@CBEEBLE]

Shame Forest!! I hope you feel better soon. Wishing you best for a full recovery. 💙

[@GreenVertigo7]

How delightful, another hour episode! No worries here, the whole video shall be watched.

[@GreenVertigo7]

To add, the music was awesome. Whoever chose it, well done!

[@roberthandlon1877]

Riley is channeling his inner pirate with the hair style. I’m beginning to see the trimaran more and more. I’ve been watching you guys since the original la vagabond and it’s been an epic adventure to see. Thanks

[@harpomorris1909]

Any cruiser knows that what you’re achieving is absolutely incredible. Cruising itself is a full-time job, then you have two young kids, another full-time job and a KZbin channel a third full-time job. I am only one of your thousands of followers who know how hard you work to achieve all that you do. We see you!

[@paulryan522]

Riley's comments at about 38:00. As you guys were sailing into that port about 15 mins earlier, I was thinking to myself "Well done guys, you're really doing it! You've managed to get that smashing boat under you, you're making fabulous content, managing with 2 little kids who are getting the best experiences," It's such a lot to achieve and requires SO much hard work, commitment and dedication from you both but, going by the aspects that you show to me via KZbin, it must feel like it's worth it! At least at times, anyway. I'm sure there are times when you wonder whether it is or not, but when you step back and really take a look at it, I hope you get that rewarding "it's worth it" feeling. Well done, I really admire you for what you've managed to do. I hope that you're encouraged to continue!

[@Nws730]

I grew up on a sailboat and your adventures give me so much joy and nostalgia. Love the longer videos. Thank you for sharing this journey with all of us ❤

[@FloatingVillageLife]

The "Life Aboard in No Man's Land" video is a masterstroke, utilizing powerful and dramatic imagery to tell the story of life in the harshest of times. By working with raw and unfiltered material, it creates an authentic and emotionally moving experience, making viewers feel like they are entering the world of soldiers. The sincerity and depth of the content not only highlight the special aspects of daily life but also help us better understand the meaning of living and harsh environments. This is an admirable production that opens the door to reflection on the value of life and the courage of those who fight for it.

[@thejoyofsingingcanada]

WE love the one hour of film. IT's cinematic and relaxing and it really gives us a sense of how it is to live your life. Thanks for doing these. They are our favourites.

[@erickajohnson2385]

Your channel is good for my mental health. I always feel relaxed and calm after watching your adventures. I miss the boating life. The best sleep ever is when water is underneath you.

[@joannepantale483]

Yes!! "The best sleep ever is when the water is underneath you". Two of favorite things - sleep and water. ❤️

For some reason the candid moment when Riley interrupted your laptop work to show you his hair reminded me so much of the early days in the Med.

[@denisecole6128]

He looks like a Japanese swordsman!😊

[@colinjacob1702]

As usual a most enjoyable episode. It is good that Ellie is becoming more relaxed in front of the camera showing us how much she has become an important part of team Vagger. Smarty points to you all.

“Catch me, Yo!” Is now my new saying, thanks to Darwin. 😂 Great swimming, Lenny! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@robbrown845]

I appreciate they're a lot harder to put together, but I'm really liking the linger videos. This week was particularly well put together and really enjoyable. Well done and thankyou.

[@haleyolsen]

I just want to say the hour long documentary you posted from Philippines with Tom is one of the most profoundly beautiful videos you've ever created. The palpable silence and beauty, and the intensity of love that is permeating through the video is overwhelming. I just had to say something. Thank you! Love you guys ❤

[@goflerchris8105]

"Hey, Peter man". I loved office space. That facial hair is eerily similar to the neighbor guy. You have a unique and fun sense of humor Riley. You all take me away from the day to day. Thank you.

The SLV family truly makes the world a better place, imho. I wear my “It’s a long story…” shirt with great pride. Absolutely love you all & feel a deep gratitude for all you do. What you share with us is nothing less than a gift, one most invaluable. THANK YOU💙

[@MaryMathews-gp4tj]

I’m writing this in reference to a year old video regarding burnout/depression. I’m glad Elena is better and for Riley’s support. Glad you had the awareness to reach out. What I’m about to mention is just a thought. Have you lovely people ever thought about buying a home on the water, perhaps near both of your families. A place perhaps to have special celebrations ie Christmas, birthdays… whatever the event is make it truly special with loved ones. Peace and love to your family.

[@cathiejohnson4820]

Wow, impressed with the water maker. We sailed in the 80s, 50" kettonburgh sloop, 300gallons water capacity. Tanks on deck and we had place cap rails across the deck to guide rainwater into the tank opening. One afternoon, in Puerto Princessa, it rained SOOOO hard. We let the rain wash the salt off for a few minutes and then opend the tank (got very wet!!). I swear, the two tanks that were close to empty, filled within about 45mins. Unbelievable. Also, we crossed the Sulu Sea from Sandarkan to Palawan at night, no nav lights, no radio, very few electronics anyway in the 80s, and we whispered the whole way. It was eerie but, like you, not taking any chances!!

[@debra7874]

That’s how we rolled in the 80’s 😂 by the seat of our pants 😂

[@jinglejacs]

I'm not a sailor (apart from a school sailing trip two yrs running lol) and I've never doubted for a second that what you do is hard work. I'm so glad you felt seen from a seasoned sailors prospective but just wanted to let you know that everything you show us in the background of filming is acknowledged. Even though I have no real concept, I love seeing the knowledge that you've gained from your years of experience. Watching your boys dive, climb and just be kids with confidence is amazing and that in itself shows how much hard work you've put into giving them this life. Epic filming as usual guys, Thank you ❤❤

[@jimminycricket3384]

[@lewisdowie]

Can't wait for Jack and Fran to come aboard combining two of my favourite channels together 😍 hope you get the dog!

[@DidiPort]

This boat moves fast, you would think the video has been sped up, then you hear Riley talking and you realise “it’s a weapon”. Great choice of boat guys, and that fact that you love it rubs off on us watchers. Great video. Last weeks video was a tough one to watch I’m sitting here hoping things turn out OK and of course they did., then you smashed out this weeks video and followed on like champions.👍😀 Excellent Drone Footage and sailing pieces, and you have put it together well. Riley sort of looks like “chopper!” Read, not sure that’s a good thing!

[@vickymizell2443]

I love the long format and your cinematic production is beyond amazing! The boys are growing so fast, Darwin is hilariously funny! Lenny is swimming like the dogtooth tuna you couldn’t spear! I am 69 in Houston Texas and I so look forward to your adventures! Riley and Elena, your bodies are so toned and beautiful! You are so lucky to be living your best life wherever the wind takes you!

Honestly, thank you for your support with my nervous system. I finished work and got to unwind with this beauty. Better than boxoffice! I. have got no idea what Riley is talking about most of the time, but I just embrace the possibility of being an on board nanny and learning how to exist on the water and cultivating some magic. Drooling for your energies xox

[@cruciblesteele6471]

Your Sea-people app maybe should have a feature which warns the sailor that they’re pushing themselves too hard. Create a sailing load measure to Warren sailors to go easy on themselves. TRI athletes measure their power output and their training load. pushing oneself too hard, can lead to exhaustion, injury, and mental exhaustion.

Man...your crank them down hard, to point up. Yet...the sails still keep drawing, without showing being back winded. When I last bought sails for my 62' ketch.
