[@ryanmazurski2736]

A few years ago I complained that your 9-12 minute videos weren’t long enough. Over the years they’ve slowly gotten longer but now at just over an hour in length, I think they’re absolutely awesome. It’s so nice being able to binge on a short film or just watch a quick clip for now and come back tomorrow for the rest. Thank you for allowing us into your lives, it’s been an epic journey and I’m sure we all look forward to see what comes next. Cheers!!

[@theresataylor8786]

These hour long videos are fantastic, giving us more on what they get up to in their daily sails and adventures. But let's not forget it's these videos that have helped pay for them to survive each day on the boat . Over time, they have become more professional in their videoing skills, which are now bang on. The patronage site has probably helped to fund what cameras, microphones, and drones they have been able to buy over the years and with their learning skills has helped to make these great videos for us to watch. Always watch this channel's love watching the boys and how quickly they have grown. I 2:31 got so excited when I saw they had uploaded another video as last time I heard Rhiley had posted that there would not be another video until the 26th of June!! Stay safe guys..

[@ConorLennon]

Maybe I’m the minority, but I’d prefer three 20 min vids spaced out across the week… I end up skipping through lots of the b-roll, talking head segments, etc. (Note, if I can’t finish the video - meaning ‘watching’ it all at once - I just won’t watch it at all).

[@tjmccabeIII]

Very good

[@kellymcpherson1506]

Thank goodness you all are okay! I was worried since you had not posted a video. However, what a adventure! Definitely time to move on to your boat…did I hear that right? Are you picking up your trimaran?

[@cristleheart4266]

I’m in awe of your life style!! Much respect!!

[@davidnichols147]

Epic hour long video, not only the highest professional cinematography combined with drama, awe inspiring editing, yet the wholesome truth that only Elana and Riley are known for with beauty. We pray Darwin's head injury doesn't get complicated in the future. We love the whole Family.

[@darlenewebber7706]

That was a epic video you guys I just loved it! Would love your lifestyle and those boys are darling! I wonder what it would be like to have a little girl in the mix. You guys are so so lucky you are so young and have a long adventurous 😊 life ahead of you.❤

[@Youvika-jc1vk]

Gilles.p. du Canada 😀♥️😉

[@berlinkind6108]

Seeing how proud Riley was of his firstborn when Forrest thanked Lenny for being such a good big brother was my favourite part of the video. It was such a sweet moment. I love how Forrest thanked Lenny for that, it’s very respectful and such a nice way of interacting with a child.

[@barbaraannscarlet7885]

True that! Proud Papa , Forest such a beautiful acknowledgement of Lenny! I have to say, this entire video was filled with authentic, loving and respectful interactions between you all. Plus, the footage was breathtaking. Thanks so much La Vag Crew !❤❤❤

[@bibekjung7404]

ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB

[@bonniesheplar5130]

It sure was a sweet moment. If we are blessed with having a big brother that takes care of us like that, it’s such a treat. Mine left the earth much too early when I sure wish she was around today since everybody else is gone. No fun being the last one standing. You certainly have taught Lenny very well or perhaps it’s just in him, and he’s been turning into a very nice kid.

[@TheAccidentalViking]

As a momma of two VERY different boys, yep. They are both all grown up, but I remember these feelings so well. The roles were reversed, because my oldest is autistic to a degree that affects his communication skills to rather medium degree, so his younger brother would have to come to me and let me know if something was going on. When his younger brother was very little, I would have to have a line of sight so see his older brother's body language to see what was going on. Their father was mostly not involved, so I think anything Riley does is amazing.

[@jesusisking3814]

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, to pay the penalty for us by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!

[@curiositydidntkillme]

Everything about this episode was insane! The score the pacing, the story, the visuals…. Ahhhhhhhhhh can’t get over it

[@pauljewell7097]

How was child abuse did that work for you ?

[@rew3103]

These "RAW" videos really do "work"! Nothing like a good dose of reality and outstanding videography. This is YOUR life and we are very fortunate to be able to tag along. Our sincerest gratitude and BEST wishes!

[@lizb7777]

I love Lenny's cautiousness, " I am scared." So young but aware that the ocean has dangers . You are giving him a good hands on education.

[@akulabourne]

Guys, I have to say. These longer uncut videos are just great. I've explained to the family that this is something that we would really enjoy together while the kids are still young. And showing the good and bad is very helpful. It gives everyone a realistic expectation. But seriously, Darwin falling just struck a nerve. Glad that he seems alright. This is one of my biggest fears on a boat with little ones. The wife didn't like it, but I appreciate it and I know why you did it. Thank you for it and for educating everyone that it really is something to watch out for. Also wanted to say thanks for mostly keeping the language clean. The 4.5 year old loves you guys and loves watching the boys because their close in age. So, kids having fun or hearing their thoughts is really entertaining for the older one here. As such, bleeping out the language is really appreciated. Good luck on the next chapter. Stay safe and prayers for you all.

[@JT-xh1ih]

God, this is really something else. The filming quality, storytelling, and everything else is really just top notch you guys. Harrowing, exciting, calming, real.... Such a nice thing to see uploaded and to get to watch and see evolve over the years.

[@stevecastro22]

OK, I have to say, this episode of SLC was absolutely EPIC! Better than any feature film that I have ever seen. I have been blessed to dive with whale sharks, ride giant manta rays, and see what most people will never even know exists. Now at age 70, I live vicariously through your eyes, and I know that all your subscribers thank you for your love of the sea and for sharing these adventures with us. You have such a wonderful family and we thank you!

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

Thank you so much Steve 🥲

[@geoffturner5347]

One of your best guys. For me it's always been about the adventure. The sailing, the boat, the navigation, the diving, the problems encountered and how you calmly deal with them. The amazing places, e.g. waterfalls and whale sharks, you all looked so happy swimming with them. Thanks for taking us on the adventure with you.

[@ItsTheHDStudios]

I absolutely LOVE the new 1hr specials! Please don’t stop! 😭

[@kabatoorokinley8280]

I am absolutely loving your new video format! I feel like you're finding that balance you've always talked about where you want to show what it's really like, the good and the bad. Thank you for taking time for yourselves it really shows in your work.

[@hannahdawson6437]

Such a fantastic video

[@borracha279]

Totally agree!!🤩

[@malibuchakra]

Raw and unfiltered is the ticket!🌸💙🌸

[@SenaGuher]

You probably have heard this enough, but I really enjoyed you guys giving us such content one hour long. I can imagine it being a burden for you guys, as you guys are showing us so much of your private lives. So I really appreciate travelling with you, as I am not able to do so. For a second I could really feel the beauty of the sunset on the water, as if I was swimming there with you guys so I’m incredibly thankful for that❤

[@matthemming5696]

How bright and intelligent is Leny? Telling his dad how to fix the sinking boat? Brilliant 😮 I can see both of them growing up to be adventures 👍👍

[@cowboyroy1961]

My wife and I are absolutely loving the longer unfiltered video format. We get to enjoy the full spectrum of emotion, from a few sad spots, to the absolute joy of sailing life, children, and dear friends. It gives a very optimistic and happy outlook on the world in general through this lens. Thank you SO much for sharing your life with us all. Happiness, Peace, Love, and Respect, “Pirate Roy” and Sandi❤️

[@linf525]

One video a month is enough if it allows you to enjoy ALL aspects of your lives. You have created a beautiful loving family, and I’m so glad I discovered your channel right after Lenny was born. Your film making expertise is extraordinary and has only grown thru out the years.. Thank you for making an old (81) sailor feel young again!❤ By the way, Riley and I share the same birthday, May 25! I was born in 1942.

[@bthechnguwish2cnthewrld]

I second that!!

[@shannonyeatman53]

I don’t care if you only put out one video a month. Please keep this one hour format! Those underwater shots with the two of you, and the whales,…. Just, EPIC!!! Keep up the good work, love you guys❤

[@toriwolford7473]

I appreciate you folks taking the time to let me live vicariously through your adventures & yes, the relaxed longer versions are wonderful.

[@MrBertreynolds]

Ive watched you guys now for over 6 years and this is my first comment. Firstly, this is not the first time I've been brought to tears watching your videos. The beauty! Your family dynamic, hearing n seeing how very happy the boys are when they see you after either of you have been away, whether an hour or a day, "Hi MUMMY DADDY!!!" Laughing tears, the best kind! Mind you, I am a 50 year old concrete worker, tears arent a frequent thing for me. I am also a father and a sailor . Thank you both, all 4 of you! So much! I really REALLY liked the music a lot in this one. Riley the commercialized whale shark thing. And having all the boats and people around them. I've came across them 3 times in the wild and as docile as they are and dont seem bothered or agitated by people. Having those people around them who actually care and look out and are mindful etc. Are much better than the typical tourist hoards and idiots in power boats all jockeying for photo ops tryna get their boat selfie pix and random people jumping in and on them etc. Those people you were with, the chum bucket guys, they're also regulators that keep the idiots away or in check.

[@user-fm5mo4rw5m]

I have never commented on any KZbin video before. This episode was absolutely brilliant on every level. Thank you for showing us the highs and lows of your adventures. You get through incredible challenges where most people would feel like quitting. I’m inspired by your perseverance and tenacity. Thank you for being an encouragement and being so positive while producing such quality film coverage. Amazing.

[@lovenature1354]

I know a lot of subscribers are saying this but just to let you know we love spending an hour with all of you. That was an amazing video. The waterfalls were spectacular. We are retired and not able to travel much any longer so we are living vicariously through you. Lenny and Darwin are adorable! ❤

[@hardpass9855]

I watch a few sailing channels because I missed out on doing something so amazing in my lifetime. But this channel… this family has my heart 💞 they always keep things real and take us to beautiful places all over the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤ These long videos beat any show anywhere too! So thank you Riley and Elayna 🥂

[@SD-dx9dp]

Lenny goes from growling to the sweetest, most profound and patient big brother. You all are killing it! Thanks for always keeping it real!

[@imurhuckleberry5793]

LaVagabonde continuing to be absolute legends! So much to unpack in this one hour episode. THANK YOU guys, as viewers it is OUR pleasure and the REWARDS are mutual. The lows: Even with fail safes built in, accidents only take seconds. You had no obligation to show Darwin’s fall and the factors that led to it AND you chose to be REAL. I feel this incident is to save the boys from a worser fate (they learned a valuable lesson the hard way and that sticks). Probably by braving any possible critics and giving us raw footage and emotion you have saved another sailor’s child. The leak was suspenseful and serious and you handled like pros. That you help others and do not abandon ship is commendable. You soldiered through keeping the ship and your spirits from sinking - acting as a team under pressure. The highs: Stunning scenery, Nature at its best as Elay termed “Forrest Bathing” @ Waterfall. The Volcano as well epic adventuring into Mother Earth’s finest offerings. I am sure in real life was breathtaking but somehow I really felt as though I was there - With you - Taking it all in. Serenity! Also Forrest (the person) is dreamy and cheery and was so present, patient and persistent in this episode that he won my heart! What a good guy to befriend and sail seas with. Elay & Riley - You both as supportive partners but able to call each other out when necessary and learn from it is the natural progression of a healthy relationship. Proud of your parenting patterns and style and also individual growth; the work you have put in shows and glows from your aura. The boys - Lenny & Darwin: Often stealing the show without effort, they are crushing milestones and making memories galore. Their little bodies and brains work overtime and so apparent they are picking up on the ins and outs of sailing life. The way you play it straight with them will serve them well. Plus their playtime on beaches and exploring islands fills them with ideas and thoughts - stimulation physically and mentally that we are beginning to see translate into their navigation of boyhood life/days. Keep fighting the good fight - We love and support LaVaga! Ps Elay on a small personal note. I also “burned out” same time and same degree (tremors) as you and your posting that realness helped me step through darkness into light. Stay strong Momma, I feel humbled and happy in my journey and hope you feel the same. If it’s not life and death I am not gonna fight or flight it. Perspective & Peace!

[@SailingLaVagabonde]

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this 🥲

[@karenustach5655]

Usually I can’t hang with most content creators for more than 20 minutes, but I never fast forward through a single minute of your videos! Breathtaking, informative, caring, all the things. Loved ever second of it

[@pratt1bp]

I’ve had some real big realisations tonight. The emotional release I had during this episode was massive and much needed. I’m very much in need of a change of pace in my life. Now I’ve understood what direction I need to take I will be making big steps towards this. Thanks SLV - much love to the entire family

[@tinaprice6180]

I’m absolutely loving this longer version. All the exploring is so beautiful! And those waterfalls and swimming pool in the forest was just magnificent. The whale sharks are docile animals. Thank y’all so much for the longer video this week 😊 cause you hit it out of the park this week. So glad Darwin and Elena were okay. Accidents happen all the tine especially on boats. Much love to you all. Happy sailing til next week. Be safe.

[@suefitz2498]

What an episode, all the ups and downs of sailing. Having Forrest on board is an added bonus and so helpful when it comes to you being able to increase the range of things you can do. I loved all the action around fixing the boat pump. The whale sharks are stunning and it’s Indonesia folks, they have come a long way with conservation, yes, further to go but no one is killing those creatures and I was overwhelmed by their beauty and gracefulness ❤

[@janeenadams]

The drawings are so important for me when Riley is speaking technically. I understand so much more than I would without them. Nice touch and thank you!

[@sailingtimshel]

I agree! 😂

[@laciwaner9868]

Absolutely beautiful! I continue to grow in respect for ya'll and the way you present everything to us. It would have been so easy to leave out the fall and the aftermath, but you did the very brave thing and shared it. I cannot believe how perfectly it was caught on video. I hate that happened to each of you, and I am thankful for all the injuries you have prevented by bringing awareness to how easy it is to have a hatch-related injury. My four kids have not been on a boat yet, but they have had crazy falls and injuries...and been attacked by family member's dogs, etc. Parenting (and spousing) is such a delicate balance of protecting, letting go, monitoring, not hovering too much, etc. All that to say, we are all in the same doing-the-best-we-can "boat." 🙂

[@rebel.rising]

Found you guys thru Kara and Nate and wow I am so happy!! Your videos are amazing. For one, Indonesia has a special place in my heart and to see you guys living your life in this way brings me so much joy. I am a traveller and nomad myself and this gives me new ideas for fun ways to adventure the world!! Love love love the long form videos, relaxing, peaceful, inspiring, so beautiful. Thank you!

[@neverland1802]

No, thank you guys for keeping us with you over the years. By FAR the most down to earth people on the tube. Your honesty and transparency make for a real wholesome viewing of your content. I'm planning on sailing up from Tassie to indo in the next few years so it has been great to see it through your movies. Thanks again 🤟

[@cherylsibson2529]

You, Being one of the few who have gone to see Diana's falls, and having accidents, are all a part of this adventure called life. You've both worked hard for everything you do, between selling swimsuits, and now selling projectors, playing guitar, pursuing all of your hobbies, and still fixing other people's boats as you go along, show your humility under fire. I think anything I wrote just wouldn't be enough justice, I can't wait to see your new home and hope for more adventures. The boys are gonna have quite the life! Wow!

[@annemacleod1421]

Lenny’s repair recommendations are delightful…he seems used to this kinda thing happening on this boat! Excellent, as per usual. More than an hour. I cook our dinner while watching. Life on the water…and hopefully not under! THANK GOODNESS for Riley who never gives up and loves a challenge! 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑NZ

[@iwal1645]

Hearing Captain Lenny, make an honest assessment of the situation made me smile so much. He has the best parents you must be so proud. I can honestly say this is the best video yet. and the new format of filming is just incredibly so relaxing. It's also good to see Elana in much better spirits, the athletic greens just make both of your skin glow. Right mates fair winds.

[@jaziii.g]

Absolutely cinematic, have been impatiently waiting for this stunning masterpiece! 🌊✨️ Your two little sailors have grown so much, it's adorable!

[@ComputerGeekOnTwoWheels]

You rewarded us with the dive with the whale sharks. Absolutely took my breath away watching you brave souls with these gentle giants. From my perspective, I am eternally blessed and thankful. I took snapshots of the dive and will be using them for screen savers on my computer. Never want to forget this moment. Thank you Elay and Riley.

[@paultango]

you never stop amazing me. A little old man from the uk who smiles from week too week after watching you're uploads. The scenery is breathtaking, the animals, waterfalls. Yet the biggest smile on my face is down to the way you are bringing up your two beautiful boys, the knowledge they are gaining Is priceless and no game system in site..if I ever bump into your amazing family unit, dinners on me. Thanks again.xx

[@jendawson64]

Love the longer format so much more, you can really immerse yourself into you’re world. Thanks and look forward to more.

[@AllyPNW]

This was so worth the wait! Thank you! Great job! Loved the over hour long video! You take many of us to where we will never be able to go. Beautiful footage! I love the underwater footage.

[@casslarkin4567]

These long, raw videos are epic. Thank you! My heart stopped with the fall of Darwin, honestly. I'm so glad no one was seriously hurt. Those whale sharks are such beautiful, beautiful creatures. Happy sails~Cass

It won’t be long now before Lenny begins to help you sail. What an amazing episode! That waterfall, be still my heart!

Cold and wet here in Adelaide so loving the sunshine your videos bring. Great to see you smiling again. Life has its ups and downs but the downs always pass. Loving the long videos.❤🦘🦘🦘🐨🐨🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@flyingfishburger]

You guys are so fun to watch. The hour passed in no time. I also love that you share when you are mad at each other. Life happens and you just have to make the best of every situation you find yourself. I just traveled to Mongolia for two weeks and the first thing I did when I got back was get caught up with my Vagabonde family.

[@usefulplum]

These longer episodes,are so worth the wait.and it’s good to see all the good and bad bits of your everyday lives.absolutely amazing ❤❤❤

[@granifulano]

1:09 minutes! You have mastered the ability to bring us along with you on your journeys. I'm sure both Darwin and Lenny learned an important lesson with his fall. They must learn early that they can get hurt on boats if they don't pay attention. The younger they learn that, the better for everyone.

[@KenMcCann]

As others are saying, the one-hour format is absolutely the sweet spot for your style of content and the frequency of the videos. Thanks so much for providing something special for us all to look forward to after all these years.

[@bobw8123]

This was so good!!! I know that an hour and nine minutes was a lot of work filming and editing, but wow, it was done so well and you both so natural in-front of the camera. very appreciated!!! Thank you for taking un on this adventure. Can't wait for the 60 foot trimaran!!!

[@louiseking6794]

So sorry for poor Darwin: that footage was so upsetting - you are so brave in sharing that raw experience to help others to be more mindful and hopefully avoid this happening to other families. Hope Baby Darwin is okay 😢❤

[@rene2727]

So much fun to watch all of good, bad, sad and happy moments! My favorite was towards the end when Forrest thanked Lenny for helping take care of Darwin! So special!❤❤❤

[@bonniesheplar5130]

I love the hour long video. One can really just relax and get into it. I really love you guys. Growing up in South Florida, my dad owned a drift fishing boat and she was a 63 footer. I was about Lenny’s age when I would go out with my dad, who, of course was the captain and I was just everywhere hanging over the side, holding on to a stanchion. One day it was calm and beautiful, and I was hanging over the side, and there comes a beautiful whale shark, and it was almost as big as my dad‘s boat, the barracuda. Boy, the passengers just love that, and so did I what an experience. I wanted to just step off and ride that beautiful whale shark. I miss the ocean so much but that was 50 years ago. Fantastic places you get to see, and then let us observe is such a treat . Thanks so much for what you do. 😊

[@dspivak1000]

Love all your content whatever the length. Glad nobody got seriously hurt in that fall. Stay safe and sound. Thank you for taking us along, I get my sailing fix vicariously through you guys.

[@alexandral6273]

What an AMAZING video ! You guys are fabulous ! Sooo many things happened (good and bad), but you always manage to deal with all this TOGETHER as a FABULOUS team ! I'm soooo glad Darwin and Elayna were ok and that there were no really bad injury. I'm sorry I don't often write comments, but I subscribed and watched EVERY SINGLE video from France since Elayna was pregnant with Leny. It's been a wild journey since then ! I'm SOOO happy Elayna will spend some girl time for her birthday. We (women) need that sooo much ! I hope you're having a good day today. I'm sending you lots of love from here in France ! 🇫🇷 🩷

[@TheIndigoEscape]

What an absolute treat this was. I am so thankful for this amazing video. I feel happy, teary, inspired. The world we haven't seen or heard of right here for all of us to enjoy. What an absolute legend your friend [Forest?] was. I absolutely loved the way he reacted when seeing the whales, so much enthusiasm and joie de Vivre, he seemed to be a great help too. The kids are growing so much and are so in tuned, they seem really matured and grounded. Ahh!! That was a great episode to have waited for! Railey, be so proud of yourselves you got the full hour. Thank you guys, may you be having a fantastic time right now, you truly deserve it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you have gotten me through some very sad times (my lovely dad died 7 months ago) so I really thank you for bringing me so much joy in times of sorrow. Be Blessed

This was such an amazing watch! It had everything. who knew that a boat leak would be one of the most exhilarating captivating parts of the whole vid. Really Chuffed to see how Chuffed Lenny was when Forrest was complimenting him for being such a mature helpful big brother. His smile was evidenced of that. He is finding his place. You guys motivate!!!

SO HAPPY YOU ALL DOING WELL!!! ❤️When a week is missed without a video one starts imagining the worse…

[@HEXpertStaker]

I agree! I was worried that something had happened. So glad everyone is safe.

[@amyheflin143]

Wow, what an episode! So glad Darwin was not seriously injured in his fall through the hatch. The whale sharks were amazing, the broken bilge pumps and leaks not so much. We used to own a not-so-new boat so my husband and I understand about things that are old and not in perfect working order. We enjoy watching you guys living life on the water, so we really look forward to the coming episodes. Have a good week.

[@svbelafonte5854]

Another amazing video guys. Seeing Whale Sharks in person is on my bucket list. What an adventure...this video clearly had some highs and lows but it's real. You're capturing every bit of daily life living on a boat. It's work, it's challenging, and it's rewarding as well. Huge thanks for continuing to make such epic video's for us all. So glad little Darwin was ok after that fall, and the boat didn't sink as well! Cheers guys! Keep up the great work!

I absolutely LOVE the hour long episodes! For an entire hour I feel like I’m immersed into a different environment. You deserve the world your family! Thank you for the amazing content!

[@alisondailey3834]

Forrest ~ you have a beautiful smile & spirit. The swim at the falls with Elayna & Lenny - such a dreamy place. Not everything goes as planned but this mini-episode of a long journey - was excellent to watch. Mega contents. Thank you for sharing. All Good Wishes.

[@kevchard5214]

The work you guys put into bringing us along on your adventures is the reason you have the status of almost 2 million subscribers. I started watching when you had Greta on board (which was amazing) and look forward to every weeks video. Thank You for sharing your life we all appreciate it deeply.

[@hollypaddy5806]

I have been watching for many years now and I cannot believe how faithful you have been to yourselves, your family and friends and to this channel. The realness comes through. Your hard work shows❤😂😢🎉

[@davidparbery8640]

Good to see that you two are pretty much the same as when you started. I have been looking at your adventures from the beginning and you have been showing me the world as I wanted to see it. But my life was side tracked by life. So you have given me the freedom of seeing my dream. Thank you.

[@HEXpertStaker]

Excellent adventure. Glad everyone is safe. You guys have become an extended family I've never met. I'm 50+ y/o, and I look forward to your episodes every Monday evening ( in the USA) like watching a TV show years ago that came on once a week. It's like having a bit of nastalgia. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. God Bless!

[@kimberlyruszkowski5948]

That was a thriller movie for sure! I just can’t get over how much content and cinematography you put into these videos! Absolutely stunning !!⛵️🧡

[@michellemcmillen0430]

The hour seem to fly by with all the content included. You all are courageous! Praying for safe travels!

[@sophieenicholas]

This was the best episode you have done. So enjoyable to watch (despite the tough parts but that made it so real and raw). Loved it so much, thank you for sharing

[@Awenda18]

Well, apart from the exciting and slightly alarming boat shenanigans… that is some of the most beautiful scenery you have EVER filmed 🎥💕 You da Man Forrest⛵️it can’t be easy rolling with this fam on a sinking boat. You’re alright‼️

[@DAKneesy]

I have really really loved watching your boys growing up. You are such tender loving parents. Well done!

[@camilledeplainelups7778]

Your videos are incredible ! I love that we get to travel with you, see the beauty of nature, your fun adventures and the dynamique of you family. I especially love the one hour videos because the slow motion transport me. Keep doing it ! love from Switzerland

[@shoni5182]

Been here since day dot and seen you both grow as parents and individuals. Love the way you both navigate this KZbin journey and this episode, is one of your best of the best and, it’s typical of how you use your platform. Thanks both & great to meet Forest.

[@tiinamajholm6064]

Yes, a full hour, and nearly 10 minutes more! Thank you! Incredible video! Raw and realistic, just like life. And so beautiful!! The water fall, the whale sharks... I am so happy nothing worse happened to Darwin or Elena! Love from a summer-hot Sweden!

[@despondent1221]

Firstly I would like to say, how much I love you guys' videos, and how you always are keeping it real. Really entertaining to watch the ups of this lifestyle, aswell as the downs. Secondly, THANK YOU, for taking the time to put in the animations from time to time. I think it is fair to say, that most of your audience has less experience on sea/sailing than you guys have, so animations are a huge help to be able to understand the situation you guys are explaining. Love the long videos aswell :)

[@belindachappell9875]

Loooooove the longer videos, really appreciate it guys. Also, glad you are prioritising your wellbeing as well, especially Elayna flying with the kids and taking a camera break. So happy you guys are getting the opportunity to sail some pretty cool boats and we get to come along for the ride, thank you🙏🏻 big props to Forrest too, what a great guy!

[@roamwithreid]

This is by far your BEST video! Ive sat through everyone drawing inspiration from them. Currently sat editing photos of our last cabin visit make it soo easy! YOU ARE ALL EPIC! Forest included!!

[@conniechurches5831]

This was great, loved the length, derma, and beauty of the location! Happy that Darwin and momma are recovering without to much difficulty.

[@bobbiholder5216]

Love all of your content…but really love the longer ones. This hour and 9 minutes was full of exciting and scary things (like Darwin falling through the hatch) that kept you glued to the show. I am so happy when I see a video has dropped. Can’t wait to see the boats y’all get to live on next!!

[@Emmaajohnsonn]

Absolutely love these hour long specials guys thank you sooooo much!! Your videos are always the first i watch out of all of the great creators i am subscribed to. Legends ❤

[@cassandraburns1325]

The cinematography throughout this 1 hour special was just spectacular 😍 well done guys. Looking forward to all that is yet to come

[@ab99542]

I love these longer formats!!! It’s so peaceful and really make me feel like I’m there with you guys

[@stacybroussard3097]

Riley and Elayna you two are so amazing... I know it must be very hard for your family to be away from your true home. Hopefully it will be ready soon... I loved the long video! So much to take in and such beautiful scenery 😍 I am So glad that Darwin is okay, that must have been very scary but thank God he wasn't hurt❤ Forrest is incredible, such a Helpful, Caring, Loving human being.... And very handsome 😉 Lenny is so smart and growing into his own distinct personality, he is Amazing! I'm so proud of you BOTH mom and Dad, Well Done! I can't wait to see you all in your next adventure, Blessings and Love to you All ❤️

[@shinysideup2289]

Really love the longer episodes. I think you've reconnected with what made a lot of people interested in the channel in the first place. It's you two (now 4). The boats and the scenery are really just a backdrop.

[@markwestcott3414]

I love these long-form videos. They're putting on an old album and listening to the deep tracks. Just awesome for having in the background and 'picking up the needle' to go back and listen/watch something that caught my ear...

[@elspethlaity1890]

I had to leave half way through and come back later this video was so long! So enjoyable,wonderful,to follow your journey to the whale sharks,and your adventures along the way.Your boys are delightful,and the experiences they are having are priceless.Lenny trying to get his head around the volcano which now contains a lake-I could almost hear the cogs clicking round!Thank you-so much apreciated.xx

[@donnaschilling7690]

I sooo love these longer videos! Next level for sure - absolutely stunning footage! I love listening to your kiddos talk-just adorable! They are sooo lucky!!

[@triscuba17]

One of your best videos! Amazing how you stayed so calm when the boat was taking on water.

[@KateLee.P]

I’m liking because I love the soppy 💗 it’s nice to hear you both talk together with emotion. Thanks for sharing, that was really enjoyable 🙏🏼
