Thanks a bunch for all that you do I enjoy every bit of your travels. The Lord blesse thee, and keepe thee: The Lord make his face shine vpon thee, and be gracious vnto thee: The Lord lift vp his countenance vpon thee, and giue thee peace
I love how Dad did not deny Darwin's feeling about being scared, but gently encouraged him to try a bit more. That is huge for a developing little boy. Great work, Dad!
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy these videos. They feel like the old videos because you’re back on the water, with a crew, adventuring to new places. But they feel new because of the filming, editing, the kids (I mean c’mon - their personalities are everything), and just the wealth of knowledge you have as sailors. Hats off to SLV - I’ve loved following along on your journey!
I’m not one to comment on UA-cam, but I find myself constantly thanking you guys for these long, unfiltered videos! My husband and I watch these every week like date night! They are so relaxing and enjoyable to watch!
Elayna ehen.you signed off a recent video"now from the south china sea goodnight", or something similar, o was struck with awe that your beautiful filmjust played on my phone half a world away, on the coast of MA usa, i just wsnt to say thank you,all of you😂
I am so IMPRESSED by how the boys handle being at sea! I’d love to hear more from them during the video’s… Especially Lenny seems like such an observant and thoughtful young man… Of course both Lenny and Darwin have great parents! 😊
Darwin's Food Review❣ OMG, I'm so sorry for Elayna's re-injury !! I can't believe she's finally got to the place she's dreamed of sailing to for years and years and now this?? I love you Elayna and hope you're well soon in upcoming videos. Geez :(
your littlest one is the most gorgeous little boy I've ever seen. And to have the life he's having and not even realizing it and watching him living the ultimate dream is... emotional
Lived on Okinawa for first and second grade….best memories of my childhood…exploring hilltown villages still full of elders suspicious of white Americans, active whale stations, silkworm factories, memorials from the war, geishas in downtown areas, spending night with native woman eating authentic food sleeping on tatami mats, visiting glass blowing factories….my father was military and we had a lot of freedom as little kids to go out and about on buses even alone…it was safe. I was happy there.
Physician here: realize you have likely already dealt with the rib pain. You may have something as simple as a disarticulated rib which can be fixed with manual manipulation. Best wishes in dealing with this issue.
You are correct. The only way to tell is with X rays. Anyway you look at it, both are painful as all hell. If she is lucky? It will just be a rib, popped out of place! Get an adjustment and feel better in a couple of days! If it is cracked ribs? Bloody F'n painful for up to a couple of weeks, depending on if Elayna can bring herself to NOT pickup her boys. They can sit on mommy's lap. But they must be careful of mommy's ribs! Cracked ribs SUCK! I speak from multiple experiences with them! I hate it when you feel someone stabs you with a knife in the ribs if you take too big of a breath in! So, No lifting and small breaths Elayna! Minimum one week. Or they will never get healed up. Wrapping your ribs really doesn't help! Only recovery? Time, taking it easy for a week or two. You can still do easy leg exercises. Just don't make yourself breathe too deeply! Believe me, YOU WILL KNOW, when you have done wrong!!! The pain will slow you down! Heal quickly young lady! Wish you all safe sailing ⛵️! Until next episode! Riley, you lost your biggest helper for at least a week, mate! Take care of her!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
i had a couple of broken and bruised ribs... what she is discribing sounds more like a rib where the soft tissue connecting the rib to the sternum ripped ... had that once and it is the most anoying and painful/uncompfortable thing ever. ... pain goes down kind of gradualy and its not as bad as laughing with a bruised rib... but it takes for ever until it is stable again. ... just, well, you learn to not move in ways that moves the rib and cut back on a lot of fun things and eventually it will disappear. whish you all the best... be carefull with skiing and don't go snowboarding... getting up from your bumm will hurt a lot when contracting your abs.
These two wee boys are the luckiest kids ever growing up on the Sea You can see how clever they both are, Nothing like HANDS ON Learning BEST EVER....I bet by 10 they will know how everything works & steer the La Vagabone their swimming ability is out the gate My daughter grew up on the Sea but only fishing not sailing She is also very clever at the helm your boys are like little encyclopedias travelling to all different places, all parts of the world all different stories ❤❤❤❤
Seeing a crossing and the entrance to such a far away land through your video feels so inclusive to those of us watching. Wishing you a pain free recovery ❤️🩹
It’s always a treat to hear the stories the boys tell and watch the great rescue of the flying fish. It made me laugh when Darwin kept smelling the fish! You are raising the boys in the best possible way. My parents moved to Venezuela when I was three and we returned to Canada when I was seven. I still have wonderful memories of that time. Just think of the stories and memories your boys will have as adults. Hope you heal quickly Elayna.
Poor Elayna! 😢 Wishing you a very fast recovery & healing dear.🙏🏼❤️ Videos are great as usual and love to follow your journeys. Congrats to have made it to Japan.🎉 My little brother is stationed there with the U. S. Navy in Okinawa. Sending you guys much love & blessings always.❤
Thanks for making this videos. I find myself laughing out loud over Riley and Kai arguing about the caught sheet. Then just seeing the boys always brings a smile. You are all a fun group of people to watch and I love the adventures and the knowledge you share as well. I hope to see these videos go for at least another decade or two. ❤
Only people who do nothing, never make mistakes or get injured. When you are living an adventurous and active life, mistakes such as dropped ropes and injuries will be inevitable. You just do your best to minimize risks and make the best decisions you can at each moment with the information you have available to you or what you have to work with. A full and busy life with young children means you are pulled often in different directions and that's without sailing a majestic vessel at the same time. Love the video guys, Godspeed and God bless you and yours always.
I just love how consistent you guys are with your videos. Every time I pop on UA-cam there’s a new one and I’ve become slightly addicted to watching sailing La vagabond. I guess it’s because I want to escape and do new things but I’m afraid at almost 60 years old to do it! Thanks for inviting us into your lives with those two precious babies too a life experience they have how profound.
Even the MERE sensation of a developing cough/sneeze while recovering from broken ribs is, in itself, enough to ignite TERRIFYING PTSD. I know. I'm currently recovering from 3 broken ribs -- 6 weeks in and still instinctively, immediately hand-bracing my injured ribs upon such occurrences. Blessings to you for a successful recovery.
I am in Pennsylvania USA. I love to look at the moon and think that you will see it too. Thank you for sharing the world and your family with me!! Peace & prayers.
*WooHoo Japan…congrats LVB!* Loved the Avatar animation, boy’s cute interactions, and appreciate all that you put into these videos. Can’t wait to see every detail about this Japanese sailing adventure. Oh man Elayna, hope you get better soon! 🩻💙
Wishing you a speedy recovery! You guys are amazing and despite some tough times, you are loving what you do, that is what life is all about. Let's go!!!❤🪞💪🔥🚀♾✨💫
Oh my god how adorable with the fish plus your production with the animations, I really love that extra afford for us viewers. Thanks for taking us along.
Epic video packed with wonderful insights into your daily life at sea, and family life in general. Your boys are delightful, gaining extraordinary lifeskills from loving hands-on parents - they way you both engage and encourage them is truly heartwarming! ❤ I'm so in awe of your adventures and life experiences while sailing along vicariously! Your videos are excellent productions worthy of millions more subs!! Hope you fully recovered Elayna 🙏💙 Enjoy sailing and exploring Japan ⛵🌊
I don’t think tough even scratches the surface. What you have gone through to get there and now this injury and still going! I wish you a fast recovery.
took months the get rid dreams boat. Are you not happy with it? How does the Japanese super boat fulfill? I get the impression if you’re able to get it, 6 months later there will be another dream boat. I love how wonderful your family works together through scary times and joy. I’m 61 if I’d have seen this lifestyle as a possibility when I was 30, I’d have dove right in. I love the water happiest in water. Those babies are growing so fast! Riley put down the boat shopping and join Elayn in cherishing every moment, they are grown in a blink, that’s why it can become all about the boat. Cheers Elana you’re amazing and the best sailor/mom ever!!
See the difference in kids raised this way as opposed to traditional living. They learn so much more. A city kid that young would never jump in the ocean like these two kids did. I really enjoy these videos. Safe travels.
When visiting Japan we also needed a hospital for an emergency and they were so lovely, helpful and kind. I hope you get the support you need. Also you get to keep a cool “driving license” like card from your hospital stay 😂
Great video guys! And because you asked, we’re sailing Alaska! Maybe we’ll see you over this way after your Japan escapades, highly recommend it! Ps we know lotsa folks who’ve sailed Japan, can put you in touch, cheers!
What an amazing sail and incredible journey! So happy for you all! Hope Riley saw my comment about his Thyroid on your last post- thyroid issue are no joke! And Elayna your ribs symptoms sound broken to me- just an EMT here but I’ve had that before myself- also looked like a classic sign as you laid on your back and that area was protruding a bit, mine did the same, I hope not and hope I’m wrong but it can take up to 6 weeks to heal! Hopefully with pain meds and rest you’re better to sail in a cpl weeks!!! RILEY- get your TSH & T3/4 levels checked!! lol!! Ok- enough of nurse Nancy.. 😂..thanks for sharing and hope you can have a great time while there! -the boys are growing up so much, they have no idea how blessed they are yet- but one day will appreciate this time so much!!! What an amazing experience! Much love! Stay safe! ❤
Proud of you both for following your hearts and sharing them with the world! You live to inspire and are true heroes to the grater good! It’s great to see you guys just being yourselves! Thank you for that! Keep Flying! May the wind be with you! 🌬️
So excited and happy you've finally made it to Japan, but I'm also sad now because of your ribs Elayna! I bloody hope it's not too bad, maybe a hairline fracture? I broke 2 ribs years ago and I'm sorry to say but they take a LONG time to heal. Far out. I truly hope it's just a hairline or something not as severe as a broken rid 🤞🤞 I have all fingers and toes crossed for a speedy recovery!!
Absolutely loved this one. Especially the kids swimming with Riley on the deep ocean, Darwin with his new dead pet fish, and the amazing feeling of watching you guys arriving to Japan 😊. Safe travels mates. Keep them coming ❤
I love your history lessons. The kids are so cute. I’m behind on episodes due to the hurricane, Helene, wreaking havoc on us here in Upstate SC. We had no power for 5 days. And trouble with phone service also. I feel your pain with ribs broken, cracked or bruised, it’s so very painful.
I was so excited to see your notification! Loved the video and all of the educational stuff. Sadly, there’s not a quick remedy for fractured or bruised ribs. It’s about a three month recovery and no longer can you wrap them for fear of pneumonia. Feel better.
I'm so glad you made it to Japan. Have had broken ribs before. Very painful. Get well and take it easy. I am praying for a fast recovery. Love you all.
Omg! What an episode! ❤🎉😢 Love that you made it to Okinawa and met Lowell. I’ve watched his adventures around Japan. But I’m so sorry to hear about Elayna. I’m sure the Japanese medical system can take care of you. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Can’t wait till you’re in the Seto Inland Sea.
Ouch I have cracked a rib a long painful healing process. Will be praying and willing a quick painless recovery. This too will pass. Your babies are divine. Boy on a good note. You are living the dream girl. lol.
Nice cliff hanger guys! Sending big gentle hugs your way! I hope you feel better soon! Darwin is hysterical 😂😂😂 and Lenny is so smart. Love watching the boys grow up in such a wonderful way! 🤗💞
Love the sea and videos of it. Your boys are so sweet. Reminds me of my own kids a few years back....plus I can relate to the constant attending children need. Stay safe Vagabond!
The boat both excites and frightens me, the sheer amount of speed that boat can reach is absolutely incredible. Exhilarating for you guys great content thanks for this.
You guys are now sailing in my old stomping grounds, aboard the USS Kitty Hawk, the place I intend to call my cruising grounds. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, and following seas to you! Also, Darwin suddenly speaks very clearly!
Elayna, hoping you are feeling better and just bruised. Hate to see your trip of a lifetime altered! Thanks for sharing your beautiful family and exciting journey.
That's a shame you had to waste all of that food, but so far your experience in Okinawa is a good one. Elayna, I hope and pray they can wrap your ribs for you and get you some pain meds. Feel better soon girl! Love you all ❤️~ Jo in Michigan USA
That white top Ellie wore the first night on shore in Japan is gorgeous. Good luck with your rib cage. I think I remember you, twice, hurting yourself on those hoverboards. Maybe the second hit reinjured the first. Maybe let's not have a third hit, ehy!?!😅❤😊
I enjoy watching your trimaran flying under sail it looks like trying to leave the water. The power available in the sails must keep you on your toes being alert for changes in wind conditions. Very challenging.
Sorry about the rib but there isnt much that can or will be done. I broke 5 ribs snowboarding 2 years about (and they were displaced fractures as I landed really had!) and once they confirmed I didnt puncture any organs they sent me on my way without even giving me pain killers! Super painful - I loved off of ibuprofin and tylenol for quite a time. I know exactly and all too well the movement you were describing. Its a very freaky feeling. Wishing you a speedy recovery. You guys are so enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great job!
I'm so excited everytime I see there's a video, and especially with the kids I can see how they each developing there own little personalities, thks for the education of each place you visit and all the fun, no fun things as well .🎉🎉 Be safe out there and enjoy your time with friends
I lost my life partner on 29-7-24 he introduced me to sailing la vagabond ,so now that his passed on I feel close to him, when ever I watch your show , and he taught me not to be afraid of the ocean, the first time I experienced swimming in the ocean was with him and 3 years ago we went to Zanzibar and I swam with dolphins and snorkeled at its like a beautiful garden under water, so please continue making and educate us because there's so much beauty in what you teach us ,
Thank you Sailing Vagabonde team for such a great video. I love it that even in your extraordinary adventures you remain level headed. I am thrilled that you are experiencing the Japanese hospitality. Sorry for the waste of food though. And really sorry for the broken ribs. It will heal. Don’t make Elay laugh too much. Apparently it’s the worst feeling. Kudos for the videos!
Rib injures hurt so bad, and it takes forever to bounce back i hope you feel better sooner rather than later, and um Riley, your history lesson was pretty good thank you so much for sharing your lives with us
By far one of my favorite YT channels and definitely one of the fees that I look forward to every episode. Truly an amazing lifestyle you guys have I envy you guys in a good and healthy way. Hope your injury is nothing too serious and that you get better soon, stay safe out there!
Hey Riley...not sure if you can turn the regen off and stop the props from spinning but if you can then consider doing that first before you take down sails that may be dropped in the water. That way the prop won't grab your ball of string and it won't be so painful. :)
I remember back in the 60'S,when I was going to sea as a merchant mariner,the ship stopping in Naha,Okinawa,this was my introduction to the East,of coarse the island was still a U.S. possession,after W.W. 2,love your channel.
I look forward every week to another episode of La Vagabonde! I just love your cute family and friends, always makes me chuckle!😂 especially the lil ones❤

I hope you are fine, Elayna!! Sending happy and healing thoughts from Florida USA.
I just noticed Elena is sporting too short poodles at 9 minutes. 19 seconds in the video. She's all natural
should've let lennie take another swim with dad and darwin... he looks like a sad oldest son...oldest needs more
@@ke4uyp Hahahaha!! She IS!! Good eye!
I love how Dad did not deny Darwin's feeling about being scared, but gently encouraged him to try a bit more. That is huge for a developing little boy. Great work, Dad!

Yup 👍 That sums it up perfectly 😀
As I have.
Great comment.
Agree 💯!! Darwin and that fish was great!
You take me away to a completely different way of life. And I love it. I am an 85-year-old woman in the Pacific Northwest USA. THANK YOU! ❤❤
How is it that after all these years your videos just keep getting better and better??? Can't describe how excited I am for Japan.
I love Dr. Lenny's diagnostic skills. He's great.
Recently fractured my rib took 6 weeks to heal enough to roll over at night without pain. Get a good cotton wrap to keep it in position.
I’m not one to comment on UA-cam, but I find myself constantly thanking you guys for these long, unfiltered videos!
My husband and I watch these every week like date night! They are so relaxing and enjoyable to watch!
I’m wishing for a quick recovery. So sorry for the pain you’re in. All the best.
Lenny is such a sensitive soul, can see it when the camera is on him. Been following you for years. The best sailing channel 😊
Elayna ehen.you signed off a recent video"now from the south china sea goodnight", or something similar, o was struck with awe that your beautiful filmjust played on my phone half a world away, on the coast of MA usa, i just wsnt to say thank you,all of you😂

Sending you guys much love & blessings always.❤

Dear Elayna, sending you prayers for an elegant recovery.
Must say you have the clearest pictures and videos with the brightest colors showing such details..love love love it!
Thank you. This was a wonderful video. Elayana, i am saying a prayer for your full recovery with no pain in your ribs.
Been watching you two for almost a decade and never been so excited to see a certain part of your journey. I CANNOT WAIT to see Japan!!! ❤
Thanks for making this videos. I find myself laughing out loud over Riley and Kai arguing about the caught sheet. Then just seeing the boys always brings a smile.

I have cracked ribs multiple times. Very painful and you can only rest and let them heal. Doctors cannot wrap them. Wishing you the best as you heal.
Wishing you a speedy recovery! You guys are amazing and despite some tough times, you are loving what you do, that is what life is all about. Let's go!!!❤🪞💪🔥🚀♾✨💫
What a fantastic sail..!! I LOVED the last shift with the light show of thunderstorms in the far distance. And the early light of the eastern sky.💕⛵️💕
Oh my god how adorable with the fish plus your production with the animations, I really love that extra afford for us viewers. Thanks for taking us along.

Hope you have a fast recovery!! I absolutely love watching your vlogs❤
Watching both of you from last 5 years, love to see you now on a new stunning yellow sailingboat. i hope the injury will go away soon! Take care!
Get better soon, Ellie. You're a champion💪💪💪
See the difference in kids raised this way as opposed to traditional living. They learn so much more. A city kid that young would never jump in the ocean like these two kids did. I really enjoy these videos. Safe travels.
Loved that " better safe than sausage " never heard that before. I had to listen to it twice. Thanks for the giggle.
When visiting Japan we also needed a hospital for an emergency and they were so lovely, helpful and kind. I hope you get the support you need. Also you get to keep a cool “driving license” like card from your hospital stay 😂
Get well soon Elayna. I wish for all on board happy & Safe travels.
Get well soon Alayna !
Great video guys! And because you asked, we’re sailing Alaska! Maybe we’ll see you over this way after your Japan escapades, highly recommend it! Ps we know lotsa folks who’ve sailed Japan, can put you in touch, cheers!
Sorry about your injury, Elayna, and it putting the kibosh on your plans. Heal quickly and I hope that you are still able to enjoy your time in Japan.
What an amazing sail and incredible journey! So happy for you all! Hope Riley saw my comment about his Thyroid on your last post- thyroid issue are no joke!
And Elayna your ribs symptoms sound broken to me- just an EMT here but I’ve had that before myself- also looked like a classic sign as you laid on your back and that area was protruding a bit, mine did the same, I hope not and hope I’m wrong but it can take up to 6 weeks to heal! Hopefully with pain meds and rest you’re better to sail in a cpl weeks!!!
RILEY- get your TSH & T3/4 levels checked!! lol!! Ok- enough of nurse Nancy.. 😂..thanks for sharing and hope you can have a great time while there!
-the boys are growing up so much, they have no idea how blessed they are yet- but one day will appreciate this time so much!!! What an amazing experience!
Much love!
Stay safe! ❤
Proud of you both for following your hearts and sharing them with the world! You live to inspire and are true heroes to the grater good! It’s great to see you guys just being yourselves! Thank you for that! Keep Flying! May the wind be with you! 🌬️
The editing on your videos is fantastic! I’m enjoying them more and more. Your hard work is evident in every one.
So excited and happy you've finally made it to Japan, but I'm also sad now because of your ribs Elayna! I bloody hope it's not too bad, maybe a hairline fracture? I broke 2 ribs years ago and I'm sorry to say but they take a LONG time to heal. Far out. I truly hope it's just a hairline or something not as severe as a broken rid 🤞🤞 I have all fingers and toes crossed for a speedy recovery!!

I love your history lessons. The kids are so cute. I’m behind on episodes due to the hurricane, Helene, wreaking havoc on us here in Upstate SC. We had no power for 5 days. And trouble with phone service also.
I feel your pain with ribs broken, cracked or bruised, it’s so very painful.
I was so excited to see your notification!
Loved the video and all of the educational stuff.
Sadly, there’s not a quick remedy for fractured or bruised ribs.
It’s about a three month recovery and no longer can you wrap them for fear of pneumonia.
Feel better.
I'm so glad you made it to Japan. Have had broken ribs before. Very painful. Get well and take it easy. I am praying for a fast recovery. Love you all.
Except for Elana’s injury this was one of my fav videos. I’ve been a huge fan since before Lenny was born.
Good luck getting well E🥰🏴☠️
Omg! What an episode! ❤🎉😢
Love that you made it to Okinawa and met Lowell. I’ve watched his adventures around Japan. But I’m so sorry to hear about Elayna. I’m sure the Japanese medical system can take care of you. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Can’t wait till you’re in the Seto Inland Sea.
Ouch I have cracked a rib a long painful healing process. Will be praying and willing a quick painless recovery. This too will pass. Your babies are divine. Boy on a good note. You are living the dream girl. lol.
Nice cliff hanger guys! Sending big gentle hugs your way! I hope you feel better soon!
Darwin is hysterical 😂😂😂 and Lenny is so smart. Love watching the boys grow up in such a wonderful way! 🤗💞
Love the sea and videos of it. Your boys are so sweet. Reminds me of my own kids a few years back....plus I can relate to the constant attending children need. Stay safe Vagabond!
The boat both excites and frightens me, the sheer amount of speed that boat can reach is absolutely incredible. Exhilarating for you guys great content thanks for this.
Thanks!
You guys are now sailing in my old stomping grounds, aboard the USS Kitty Hawk, the place I intend to call my cruising grounds. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, and following seas to you! Also, Darwin suddenly speaks very clearly!
Elayna, hoping you are feeling better and just bruised. Hate to see your trip of a lifetime altered! Thanks for sharing your beautiful family and exciting journey.
That's a shame you had to waste all of that food, but so far your experience in Okinawa is a good one. Elayna, I hope and pray they can wrap your ribs for you and get you some pain meds. Feel better soon girl! Love you all ❤️~
Jo in Michigan USA
I feel so for you elayna as I though younwere healing. I hope your pain goes away and u get medical attention quickly ❤
Best wishes for a quick recovery ❤
Oh I absolutely love the history part!! Keep it going. Glad I watched. Feels like the old videos!
I’m so sorry you’re hurt and in such pain 🙏🏼 praying for a speedy recovery.❤️🩹
That white top Ellie wore the first night on shore in Japan is gorgeous.
Good luck with your rib cage. I think I remember you, twice, hurting yourself on those hoverboards. Maybe the second hit reinjured the first. Maybe let's not have a third hit, ehy!?!😅❤😊
I enjoy watching your trimaran flying under sail it looks like trying to leave the water. The power available in the sails must keep you on your toes being alert for changes in wind conditions. Very challenging.
Brother! Not only do you have the coolest fam on the tube? Your amazing wife said But stuff ? On camera ? And I LOVE YOU GUYS!!🙏💪💜🇨🇦
Drift in there like a bunch of VAGABONDS!🎉
Sorry about the rib but there isnt much that can or will be done. I broke 5 ribs snowboarding 2 years about (and they were displaced fractures as I landed really had!) and once they confirmed I didnt puncture any organs they sent me on my way without even giving me pain killers! Super painful - I loved off of ibuprofin and tylenol for quite a time. I know exactly and all too well the movement you were describing. Its a very freaky feeling. Wishing you a speedy recovery. You guys are so enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great job!
I wish you a speedy recovery, Alena! 🥰 Thanks as always for sharing your adventures at sea!
Oh I hope you feel better soon Elayna! Ouch! Thanks for taking us along on this incredible journey. Great video!
I'm so excited everytime I see there's a video, and especially with the kids I can see how they each developing there own little personalities, thks for the education of each place you visit and all the fun, no fun things as well .🎉🎉 Be safe out there and enjoy your time with friends
I lost my life partner on 29-7-24 he introduced me to sailing la vagabond ,so now that his passed on I feel close to him, when ever I watch your show , and he taught me not to be afraid of the ocean, the first time I experienced swimming in the ocean was with him and 3 years ago we went to Zanzibar and I swam with dolphins and snorkeled at its like a beautiful garden under water, so please continue making and educate us because there's so much beauty in what you teach us ,
Hope your ribs are ok and nothing broken. We love and enjoyed your videos!❤ Your trip to the Philippines and to Japan. Feel better soon!👍❤️🇵🇭
Wishing Elayna a speedy recovery ❤️🩹!! Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing this!!
ur vids are so natural and on the beat, all the little nuiance, so real n authentic..hope u get through the rib thing..rest
Thank you Sailing Vagabonde team for such a great video. I love it that even in your extraordinary adventures you remain level headed. I am thrilled that you are experiencing the Japanese hospitality. Sorry for the waste of food though. And really sorry for the broken ribs. It will heal. Don’t make Elay laugh too much. Apparently it’s the worst feeling. Kudos for the videos!
I lived in Okinawa for four years as a US Marine wife and loved every second! Hoping to see glimpses of something I remember but it's been so long!
Great video once again. So sorry to hear of Elayna's rib injury. I hope you have a speedy recovery!
Rib injures hurt so bad, and it takes forever to bounce back i hope you feel better sooner rather than later, and um Riley, your history lesson was pretty good thank you so much for sharing your lives with us
By far one of my favorite YT channels and definitely one of the fees that I look forward to every episode. Truly an amazing lifestyle you guys have I envy you guys in a good and healthy way. Hope your injury is nothing too serious and that you get better soon, stay safe out there!
Hey Riley...not sure if you can turn the regen off and stop the props from spinning but if you can then consider doing that first before you take down sails that may be dropped in the water. That way the prop won't grab your ball of string and it won't be so painful. :)
I'm so glad the check in went well. That's a good sign for beginning the trip. I hope Elayna's rib(s) are OK!
Your videos are always, spot on. We love your love for speed on the sailboat, wish we were there.
💔❣be careful and take care of yourself Elaina get well .... experiences and a lot of mental support for you
hope that your okay and can make a speedy recovery 🫶🏻🫶🏻
