The Unexpected Can Be The Most Enjoyable [Ep. 125]

[@greggronemeier1256]

Spare parts are “GOOD” !!

[@captainmarkgray8856]

The "right" spare parts are the best! If our life ? depended ? on it, we usually had 3 backups.

[@CPTCleoTorris]

It would be better to have a more simple propulsion system. Ya can't keep all the electronic type spares that are not repairable in the field. SMH

[@TRMartin]

I'm starting to think instead of paying for travel tattoos, Riley is going on the cheap and using scars to chronicle la Vagadond's adventures..

[@henrikgormsen1020]

In 50 years they will go like: This one i got in the metrainian, and this one was from the admirals daugther and so on ;-) ;-)

[@CANControlGRAFFITI]

[@riverbendtube]

One of your best! Tunisia has been on my list for way too long to count the years. Thanks for ignoring the naysayers.

[@jerrybates5791]

May you have fair winds and smooth seas as you continue this life’s adventure. Always enjoy your videos. Be safe.

[@mellymel6573]

Jojse was such a great addition. Elayna has never laughed so hard in videos before!

[@ntuidme]

it is always fun watching your videos. Especially when you show a little of the places that you are visiting and have guests aboard who can show a different perspective of what it is like for someone who has never been on a sailing adventure!.

[@michaelrichter8040]

The Josje episodes are by far the best ones, hope you bring her back on again soon.

[@JT-xh1ih]

Sailing, epic editing and music, La Vagabonde crew, and LEON BRIDGES!? This literally couldn't get any better.

[@broke4583]

I hope you have josje onboard again in the future. The three of you have such a great chemistry! Also the beginning of this video was so beautiful! I’m so excited for your next video!!!

[@lloydchristmas1966]

Elayna! Your production is special! Timing in the intro etc! Just my taste. Nice conveyance in a way that's so intriguing. Thanks to both of you! Randall

[@MrLeanath]

Gosh it's really melancholic seeing all these people come and go and wave their goodbyes. I guess that's life for you

[@captnrickealy4029]

Hey You guys.... Capt'n Rick from STT... now retired, I'm still hoping to return to the Virgin Islands and see the progress they've made there after Irma. Y'all are doing a great job promoting the cruising world and I never miss your updates. Fair winds and following seas to you both.... Thank You. Rick Ealy, Jackson, MS, USA

[@jcbaily5559]

It is very heartwarming how well you both work together.....may you always be blessed!

[@Bd210bro]

That rooftop sunset has to be one of my favorite SLV moments yet. What a beautiful country.

[@ChrisBogle]

Your videos have improved 150%! This is so much like the original Riley & Elayna that attracted me to this channel years ago. Keep it up you two.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

It's so amazing how truly blessed you kids are... But I still keep on praying for you kids that Go will keep y'all safe out there on the open ocean and when your in the ports... And to continue blessing y'all and seeing to it that your needs are meant... So keep having fun and I'll be laying here looking forward to your next video... Be blessed love and prayers.... BBE...

[@francescocioppa1263]

Growing up in a hard environment, your videos helped keeping my sanity ❤️

[@jaspersimpkin8346]

Enjoying in 2024, these are some very special travel videos :)

[@creativefunnel]

The beginning is wonderful. Good to see you heading into the wind too. A "faux pas" on land is more embarrassing than at sea. It is refreshing to share your journey.

[@MrGaza74]

Hello! I started your videos a couple of days ago, up to Ep18, checked to see if you were still doing them and here you are on a catamaran! Mad! So happy for you both. I'm from Orange NSW and I'm researching about sailing. Again. Used to live at Narooma and read A lot about sailing, now land locked. Kids are older. Going to learn, buy a boat, live on board, work around the world (I'm an RN). No KZbin vids though. Anyway, you guys are completely inspiring! Love it! Keep up the good work. I'm going back to Ep 19!

[@domoniquewenger6840]

I have been obsessed with your videos the past few weeks! I’m sad I wasn’t with you from the beginning but I’m happy to catch up and watch your growth. I wanted to comment and tell Elayna a while ago to play River by Leon Bridges and I can’t believe it’s in this video! Love your journey so far and I’m another rooting for you. Thank you!

[@cntryboy1776]

Any video with Elayna singing in it is worth 5 stars!! Great job again.

[@brucestewart9547]

Lovely to hear you sing again Elayna. Reminded me of the old clips. Thanks.

[@stevecrombie5357]

I so do look forward to Monday afternoons. That's what time they hit the Great Pacific Northwest.Thanks SLV,

[@kanamichelle7404]

This video is seriously beautifully done, especially in Tunisia! My mouth was hanging open. You two are both such beautiful and lovely people, and such a joy to follow. Thank you for thinking of us out here!

[@cleodane2]

What a BEAUT episode guys! loved the intro, loved Elay's guitar playing, lots of love all over it

[@jakebeardsley3802]

HEY GUYS! I think this might be one of the first, if not the first episode where we see you sitting in the AWESOME BUCKET SEAT. For some reason, they seem really groovy and cool... and remind me of the Captain and Co Pilot chairs on the Millennium Falcon. So more situational updates about Italian dudes from the Chairs would be cool! Thank you guys for being TOTALLY RAD!

[@jasperasis5209]

I love the heart these 3 bring to the world... A bigger crew may spice it up further...

[@7CitiesVapesHampton]

6 days ago I stumbled across a Sailing la vagabonde video, watched a few random videos maybe 5 - 8 of them and liked what I was seeing so decided to start from the beginning. I am now 125 episodes in and loving the content. I know there are also lots of small videos in between I am missing as I am just watching the numbered episodes. I am sure ill go back and watch the others once I am caught up to real time. Just wanted to stop in a say Hi and let you guys know how much I am enjoying your videos or as you like to call movies. I really feel like I am getting to know you both. I see you will be in Maryland in the fall of 2019 and I plan to make the drive to come meet you two in person.

[@fdschuler7863]

Turning up via boat to a Northern African country with a bandaged head?? Priceless!!

[@MrWetrek]

I love that you guys are singing Leon Bridges song River. It’s a great song about baptism!

[@mljcool1916]

Beautiful trip, I would have loved to see more of Tunisia.

[@siaripop7]

Loved the fact that "Bilgey" has his own T-Shirt line now!

[@baja27100]

I just jumped ahead from ep.84 thats where I’m up to see what episode your up too. I’m catching up fast! My days are consumed with your adventure. The ( vagabond 2) is amazing.

[@gordbeaton9818]

Oh my gosh I used to play that Addam's Family pinball machine decades ago! "it's in the vault!" and "keep the ball, I've got a whole bucket full!"

[@captainmarkgray8856]

We are so happy you 2 are back safe & sound (less only a small bit of blood this time :-)

[@gb3378]

FYI The trinket shop items were not hundreds of years old---common sham in the area. Be aware, but nice to see people like yourselves open and trusting. Enjoy the videos.

[@IlikedogfooRBLX]

Poor Riley with his series of unfortunate events. Many blessings from Sandy, Oregon (the Gateway to Mt. Hood).

[@Glenacus]

So glad to hear you singing again Elay........awesome!

[@clayz1]

Love you guys. Thank you for vacationing my day.

[@rifke]

Keep doing what you’re doing. I love watching your travels. Great editing.

[@MrMoppeh]

The music transition at 1:16 was sublime

[@sailingpopao]

Excellent Episode guys! Absolutely loved the intro. It definitely set an awesome vibe for Tunisia and the rest of the episode. Safe travels- Jess x

[@Murky_Lurks]

hey guys, that intro footage was next level. Gorgeous. thanks.

[@TheblackMoon1444]

Hi guys it's been a while since I joined your channel ... and I follow your adventures ... aaand ... Riley's accidents >

[@jaymontange8260]

Loved seeing Jose after all the time that has passed. If we make it to NZ going to find a way to say hi.

[@warrenmckinlay945]

loved the vid and the adventure, great to see and hear Elana on the guitar again....more please

[@brownchairphotography]

That storm looked so cool off in the distance. You guys must seen the most amazing cloud formations.

[@simonparker4992]

Great music in opening sequence.

[@Sunsc8pe]

Two very beautiful women. And both quite capable. Truly talented. Riley it is enjoyable to watch you sail the boat. Best wishes to all of you.

[@k.s.3748]

What a cool group, Love your videos! Cheers From Central Texas!

[@phoblographer76]

That intro. Yes, way to introduce a new style for you guys. Barnicles on a rope. Yep, been there too. Now we wear gloves handling dock lines.Just couldn't be bothered until one day I was sliced and bloody.

[@moz1953]

just where did it all go so wrong Riley ? beautiful women, great boat, travelling the world, bloody bonzer mate

[@glenhatchell5635]

The episodes with Josje have been my favorite of all. She blends in perfectly!

[@juliaantes9369]

Wow, just adore the music in the beginning

[@charlesthomas8875]

As always, a good video with charming people.

[@kevinhighfield1473]

Hi Riley/ Elayna, Steven has arrived in Barbados on Proxima Vida 20 days after leaving Las Palmas, they had a good trip with lots of fish caught. Well done to Steven and his crew of three.

[@zacharymartin615]

I was so stoked for you guys hearing that motor fire up!

[@bwalla50]

Stow away extra blood plasma for Riley.

[@captainmarkgray8856]

Too funny :-)

[@IMSiegfried]

Incredible intro! One of my (many) favorite videos by you guys! :)

[@ronjohnson9690]

And somehow you two made it to a London Narrowboat Show in December (?)....you touch so many people, help change so many lives...time for some better luck before next time.

[@rickcutcliffe2495]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hat Tip ! 🎩 ..............😎 This episode is definitely among my top 10 all time favorite , La Vagabonde episodes. Absolutely Brilliant ! From Start To Finish 😎 Cheers 🍺

[@stevecastro22]

I have to say, you meet the nicest people sailing.

[@rollingtattootherapy5548]

Love you and your boat ! Elaynaaa you´ve got a beautiful voice

[@wadahalmatar6068]

You guys are awesome, Love & Blessings from Saudi Arabia

[@bramgroen7342]

You guys bring the spirit a fly again

[@ExpeditionDrenched]

Love the view from the rooftop!!! The wailing reminded me of your first episode cheekily wailing away in your wetsuit.

[@sportluver98]

The wailing was the Muslim call to prayer i believe

[@jacksonms212]

I really like her ... :) very genuine soul .

[@ola_bandola]

That Intro edit was awesome! Had me holding my breath. Wow!

[@markkellogg7319]

Great video as always, and the intro was superb...well done guys!

[@1sailfast]

Another great episode. I think you were pretty brazen to leave the boat when a storm was blowing up, I would have been nervous about making sure the boat wouldn’t break out and drag or be beaten against the dock. Would have stayed with it. Glad it all worked out.

[@ThomiX0.0]

Videos are getting better all the time, like pros! Liked the open reaction from Josje, and its been experianced by us too! lol about using the sink by Riley, thought of my sister ones, using the mens urinal for poo... Have fun making the next pro-video guys, wonderful stuff it is.

[@jamesedwards1588]

Svalbard Norway would be a good trip, but I think you may want to do that journey in a monohull. You guys are legends.

[@marshallwilliams2990]

Another great vlog! She should stay another week or two!! If I had the means is be right behind you guys in my own cat.. Dream come true!!! 👏

[@freddywulf2024]

what a PERFECT Intro into a GREAT episode...that intro though!!!

[@Stefny83]

i was waiting for the episode... haha so glad it came online before hopping into bed! always a pleasure to be on board with SLV!

[@nickhouben5834]

I was waiting too. I always look forward to your videos. I don't often comment because everyone else says exactly how I feel which is honored to be taken Along on your escapades. I think you're both beautiful people and I love your videos. Thank you so very much.

[@cgunz3525]

Love, love, loooooooooooved this video! It felt so effortless!

[@Boatnotes]

Great video! So funny, we were stuck on the exact same island (and the one next to it) last year between November 2016 and January 2017 for our big engine exchange. God, we know this place too well. About the time you we’re cruising in NZ, we had the nastiest weather including hailstorms!! So now we have a Volvo Penta, too, and our „black box“ broke down as well last summer. Seems Penta is having a big problem with this part. In our marina in Las Palmas there were 3 boats with the same diagnosis. Enjoy your second Atlantic crossing! 👋 from Gran Canaria

[@joedurand6546]

thanks for putting a smile on my face. great video

[@randallthrift1249]

Always enjoy your videos, but as always they are never long enough. TWENTY MINUTES would be great. :-)

[@TarinPicker]

You guys inspire me. Take care Riley, stop hurting you self. I saw a toe injured. :D :P Big hug from São Paulo, Brazil. Wanting to the next episode. ;)

[@1904-d3x]

❤❤❤thank you just started watching your channel. And love it. Just wanna say Thank you!

[@rmhollin25]

great vid as usual. Damned that girl can play and sing....... more please

[@sebastianobermeier3754]

Great stuff guys like the way you present your journey.......any time you coming to NZ give us a shout

[@affboy-ft1lh]

Liked those first scenes. Good job there.

[@sailingjabuka465]

great video Elayna and Riley, as usual. I really loved the first part, very professional and intriguing. I wish I will be able make great videos as yours for my channel one day! Thanks for keeping my hopes alive. fair wind. Alberto

[@mtnman80212]

Wow...amazing episode and Elayna's song choices are superb!!

[@maccashaz]

Ohh Leave the poor girl alone. She smokes - So what??? Her choice. Doesn't change who she is. You go Josje. You all loved her until you saw a smoke in her hand. What changed. No room for PC'ness on these channels. There's enough in mainstream media as it is. This is a real life video and it's excellent. Great stories, great experiences keep it coming. Love it all :)

[@paultaylor9939]

Outstanding guys keep them coming cheers

[@BeeeHonest]

Make sure you keep a small handheld vacuum for broken glass. I have plenty of experience when it comes to breaking glasses. Some really small sharp pieces that you might have missed might cut your feet or hand hours or days late.

[@peterheinrichs4882]

superb video, one of the best for a long time!

[@SailingSisu]

editing is getting more awesome by the day!

[@liamaaronduran]

The difference between the culture in cabaletta and Tunisia was night and day was it not? I found you two amazing adventurers just recently and I am lost in your videos and stricken by a bit of wanderlust and a need to seek the type of freedom you have.. God bless you both on your journeys and never stop, never lose your sense of adventure and love for one another.

[@paigemartin1096]

Love how Australia was front facing on the globe at 14:48 ❤️

[@VictorBlack69]

great video love you guys Josje is funny and a cool cat.

[@saveriostoll6083]

I think.. Man, I’m in love with josje

[@tvpolishprogram3804]

Very nice and nicely edited footage from Africa, nice mood! Good Luck!

[@johntatum1951]

The catamaran seems like the most stable boat...I might even be okay on one like La Vagabonde..nice boat!

[@horseshoejerry]

Loved the slap guitar Elayna!

[@euank33]

Incredible video guys. Always inspiring!
