The Fear of Dragging Anchor ALONE on the boat. (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 134
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Riley and Josje left me onboard by myself to go and hike a red hill on the island of La Graciosa. The wind picked up to 32 knots, gusting to 35 and the two boats next to me left to find shelter one having dragged anchor first. I’d stayed home to catch up on some work but because stress levels were through the roof, I didn’t get a thing done. But I’m glad I did stay home, because we would have never of known about the sudden change in the weather all the way up on that hill. One engine wasn’t working and the other wasn’t 100% reliable (the same problem with the control boxes needing replacing and a jump start was required if you wanted to fire it up before then). Not the end of the world unless you need to get out of somewhere quickly and you’re a one woman show. Join us in the Canary Islands for an ADVENTURE. It's Josje on UA-cam! We love her:

Awh I love Josje, I hope she is happy out there and finding peace with herself. She's an amazing being.
Classic Riley, fixing engines, falling in the water, flashing the coinslot!! Ha Ha. Great Episode guys.
And Mountain hiking in slippers... :-D
Plumbers Butt
and hiking in flip flops....
Thumbs up bums up!
They are their own first responder for everything from engines to fires to medical emergencies and fighting off pirates, everything :-)
It would clearly be in Volvo's best interest to send someone with control boxes that are definitely not from the bad batch and get your engines running with out any issues, because every time you have problems with them, a few hundred thousand people get to see it!
Very good idea . I hope some one from Volvo Marine Division sees your reply . This Catamaran is definitely not a cheap one . I feel for Elayna and Riley that they are having so many problems on their new Catamaran .
agreed. it looks pretty bad on them
Hahaha when we climbed (slid) down the mountain Riley, beautifully put together team! Miss you's x
Will we be seeing you on La Vagabonde again?? Hope it's a yes!
Josjeeeee ❤
Maybe a bit off topic. But Riley have you considered wearing some sort of "Sail shoes" which are more stable and safer then flip-flops which can also get wet and you can walk barefoot in them? there are some nice ones out there. For example the Merrell Men's Barefoot Current Glove or the NeoSport Paddle Water Boots. Also the Vibram FiveFingers Classic which is almost like barefoot walking. Just think you can up your "shoe game" on la Vagabonde to have something better then just Flipflops. The mentioned shoes give you more grip, safety, stability and probably are also nicer to wear since you don't have to worry about falling out on them or that they will break ;). Last but not least those also protect the feet from too much sun exposure and i heard Flipflops are not good for your back on the long term. Anyway just thought i mention those three models to maybe give you some inspiration to consider getting some.
You guys make me smile.
Riley has the best laugh ever !
Robert Orzech agreed!
Seems OTT
Agreed 😂 makes me laugh with him
man, on a day to day basis... life feels very overwhelming for me... job and family, many burdens i try to fix.... but i sit down, load a video on my tv from SLV... and my spirits are lifted. Keep living your dreams... how real they are, are felt by your viewers.
I LOVE seeing people y’all come across who are on the water because you inspired them!!!
I love how Riley, goes into his spontaneous madman celebration, (everyone is different), when something gets fixed. Handsome and handy. FYI: it takes one to know one. ONE LOVE from Nathan on Vancouver Island. 😍❤️🇨🇦
The east coast may seem boring but please visit it. It'd be awesome to see my favorite UA-camrs at places I recognize
Outstanding episode, don't think we ever take these for granted...
What a life guys!!
What a life you living!!
For me is just a dream!!
Thank you for taking me with you!!
Thank you!!
Loving the videos and they are quite addictive. I love your sense of adventure. Mine is always connected to surfing and my travels have mainly focused on such.
You forgot to put on your graceful climbing shoes Riley!! Your engine troubles are not a very good advertisement for Volvo!!
So, this is where the legend of Stefan began...
So cool that you guys get to meet people along the way who were inspired by YOU!
Somewhat brave, too! I guess a person could be a Patron, and really bad company...yikes. But I'm sure E & R would have ample couth and tact to handle any situation.
The only REAL channel. Definitely my favourite UA-cam channel by far.
Delos
DIDO! They do a great job!
My dad is close to getting a boat. He was inspired by your videos, we both love them and have been watching for years!
Thank you for scheduling this for a Monday late night. Had a rough day, cant sleep and now I`m just smiling and loving your adventures :)
Capitan Jimbo! how ya doing mate? These videos probably make you wish you had a boat again!!
Another great episode!...Thank you Elayna & Riley. Love Josje...She's so charismatic!
Each video is better than the previous one. Josje is da bomb. Elayna gorgeous as always, Riley's voice still reminds me of John Lennon's speaking voice and the drone footage gets better and better. Adds another great dimension to your adventures. Stay safe on the upcoming crossing. Live well. Be well.
Just absolutely love watching your adventure on the open sea.Thanks, Guys !!!!!!!!!!
I’m always amazed how you hike in your jandals, Riley!!
And a cheeky wee shot there, Elayna! 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
Приятно смотреть на этих ребят))) Так держать!
I subscribed and starting watching three weeks ago. I was hooked instantly and soon became a Patron. It took me about two weeks, but I hav just finished watching every single episode. I have talked about SLV so much I have gotten a half dozen other people watching. I love these two. It is so much fun to watch.
Surely 'doing a one handed burrito' is some kind of euphemism...
Perfect video. Friends, new friends, diving, remote historical locations, great food, falling overboard and wine. Also a 17 minute video is a lot to edit but it looked great and flowed effortlessly. Nicely done, E.
Loved the longer episode, always appreciated; loved the gentleman at the end, great story!! Looking forward to the upcoming episodes and your journey northward.
truly never a dull moment on la vaga and gotta love captain riley climbing volcanic cinder cones in flip-flops !
I really like the interview w Stephan. Your questions were great and this was one of the most informative cruising videos I’ve seen. Thanks
Josje is just awesome. God bless all three of you guys.
"There's no plan" totally love that.
Does anyone else think that these engines are having far too many troubles for a new boat?
yup way to much
Jeremy Mccubbin I agree and am hoping the electric motor for long range cruising becomes practical within the next few years. They're replacing diesels with a simple electric motor and electric car size battery banks along with small built in generator on the great lakes.
Not at all. It’s a sophisticated and complex boat. So far the issues have been generally minor. Specially now that they know about the control units. Best to shake it all out before the transatlantic crossing.
Was thinking the same. Those engines have been stinkers from the get go and the manufacture really needs to fix this for them. It's not a good look, but good on Riley!!
"A sophisticated and complex boat"...quite true and a reason to evaluate that idea if you are a long range cruiser. Do you want to cruise or worry about circuit boards in Tonga? I strongly prefer simplifying whenever possible, but a sexy big cat will not be simple. The more moving parts a machine has, the more likely something is not working. If you are in the Med or the Caribbean, you are close to resupply, expensive as it may be. Unless you are loaded, keep it simple, with systems you understand and can fix yourself. An expensive new cat is beautiful to look at and lovely to sail but is a poor choice if a 10 or 20K repair at random moments would be a problem.
All your music you put is amazing, but for the sunrise!👍👍👍so good!!
After getting home from a snowy day at work it is wonderful to see what you guys have been up to. Thanks, and I hope the crossing goes smooth, fast and fun.
Great to see you include other people you meet - their stories are interesting
I love the energy, high spirits, and affection you show for each other. You are truly remarkable people!
How many times has Riley been explaining, arguably, interesting technical stuff, while waiving around a screwdriver in his hand... hmmm That reminds me of the very first scene of the very first Ep. of SLV. Halfway through this collective dream journey to catch up to the present day! Love
Every new video that I watch fills me with more and more joy; there's so much warmth and happiness that I get from watching these videos. It encourages me to look forward to the future and to reach all my dreams, goals, and aspirations. I seriously love you guys, without a doubt, my favorite channel. I definitely have a calling to the seas; it's literally in my last name (Long Sea) -it's Viking/Old Norse/Norwegian ;)
Love from your biggest Minnesotan fan,
Ian Langsev
A Coronado! Oh, this boat brings memories back. This was my first sail boat that I bought in Montenegro and sailed around for several years. Strange to see Riley sitting in it!
Seriously love your guys relationship, it’s so sweet to see.
Been to Lanzarote for many years since my Family have a house in Playa Blanca/Playa Flamingo in the South. Really nice to see different places and a different view 😁👍🏻
I getting only 4 hours sleep the last 4 days as I got hooked watching your Vlogs! Loved it!
I am alive again! I had three teeth pulled on Friday had such a shitty week last week and your video pops up and breathes life into this toothless old broad. I actually have many teeth left and I hope to come meet you all on the East Coast!!
Great vid, More Josje!!!! Feel better Elayna! Riley, keep at least 100 control boxes on hand!!!!
Drone shots are insane! I am slowly catching up with real time, can't stop watching your movies!
I'm so so tired so i'll watch this as soon as i wake up i just want you both to know i love and appreciate ya xx
Addicted to yer videos isn't even the word. Looking forward to yer big trip I have a friend living in the Bahamas as a dive instructor. Sending love from Ireland.
So happy for you guys! Can't wait for you to come back on PKA be safe out there and peace to you all.
The CROSSING! ... I can't wait for the adventure.
You are both amazing
Gaybar!!!!!!! Take me to a.... I always love the music, and love the adventure you have taken us on. Newest patron here
ROFLOL i nearly fell out laughing for the plumber butt.........good on ya Riley, you killed it
It was so good to see Josje on the water again. I'll miss seeing her!
Glad your engines are running now. Your friend is pretty cool I wish him the best on his adventures. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Stellar video guys!
Another fav! Brings back so many memories of boat breakdowns with my Dad - you guys handle it well and are so fun to watch. Can't wait for the crossing, XO Kelly
You guys!!! 😱😱😱 Moored under the Risco…although on paper seems to be ok, that’s a very dangerous spot where to moor, because the wind accelerates on the walls of the cliffs creating crazy gusts
Recently i was watching episode 91, then rewatch episode 1, then episode 92, episode 2 and so on. I have been watching from almost the beginning and I love and treasure your evolution as sailors, life on the sea, and your uniqueness in all aspects. I am so happy for you to have the new boat and think the episodes are still so unique and wonderfully done. I enjoy living vicariously through you as I work away here in San Francisco, and someday I hope to skip the mono-hull and go straight for the Cat ;) Keep it up I love ya!
Josje is my favourite guest.
Your really do have to be a self-starter to live in paradise.
This is why I love the ole monohulls! Only one engine to deal with. Outremer isn’t looking very good in my book at this point but you guys are awesome as always. Me? I’ll keep my good ole boat and her organic heeling touch!
mate. demostration of 1) perfect use of safety thongs to scale a mountian 2) great manly ingenuity fixing your engine in a pinch. 3) plumbers crack to get the job done. mate you're bleeding the aussie flag. Bob Hawke is so proud.
Wonderful video, you guys are awesome.
Love all your videos guys! I bought a caravan and am traveling Australia. Will be giving what you guys are doing a go next so these videos are educational for me. I understand 100% why you guys are doing what you are doing. Just hope i can find myself a sailor lady like you mate. She is so chilled and awesome.
5th time fixing engines on a boat less than 1 year old... Not a great advert for whoever makes those control boxes. Also not a great advert for whoever decided to put them in there as they clearly suck. Very happy you guys are showing it warts and all though 👍
Great video. Love seeing when you are actually out sailing. Took me back to the first video I watched of you guys when Riley was flipping his screwdriver aboard the Beneteau. Was not sure about him at first but I have become a big fan of you both.
The life you are living is truly inspiring.
That crew ship I parks outside my apartment, now when I look at it I think of you two. God bless you two
You guys should pitch your adventures to a television network as a reality show.....I think it would be a tremendous hit series!!
Thanks for the latest upload! They are all fantastic. I sort of binge watched all all of them over the last two weeks. I see you had Christian on board. I also have been following him for sometime. Keep up the great work. Fair winds to ya!!
rileys laugh just screams of joy
Great episode... what can I say?... " I love these two"!!!!!
Again, best part of my Tuesday is SLV.
Just awesome.
Riley and his sandals killed me while he hiked. Something I would totally (and foolishly) do! 😹
thanks for the video guys! This is what quality content should be!
You have an interesting life, and I envy you very much)))
"Hello" to you from Russia)) Some people of you also know here! ))
Thank you for posting. Love you two. Be safe.
Ahhh Rainbow Kitten Surprise is playing when you interview Stefan!
Great video ! I realy like the 15-20 min videos ! Can't wait for your crossing the Atlantic ! Cheers from Bulgaria ! :)
Thank you for my weekly seaescape! You two are fantastic!
Makes me realize there is no utopia escaping trappings of technology anymore even in their adventurous lifestyles. They’re behind a camera, computer, on social media and UA-cam far more than most people even. In 2021 I’m glad they’re taking breaks so their kids (and they) can experience some camera free time!
Thanks for posting. Sorry to hear you were having trouble with the engines.
i love you guy's you guy's are living it
Great episode! Always making friends with good people!
love your videos, love you guys, love Josje, hope she returns soon
Lovveee y'alls videos!! I've watched every episode they just keep getting better and better!!
That breakfast looks amazing! And I agree not a good look for Volvo!!!
And again my morning has started out brilliantly with an update from SLV. Shame Josje has moved to her next adventure, but I believe Christian (@Lost LeBlanc) will be joining the videos soon, which will be great also. Safe sailing SLV and Good Wind. Look forward to the next video as always.
Lovely, it is always a joy to watch your continued adventures.
Stay safe & Happy :)
It must be the most amazing thing to wake up on a boat like that, step outside and see nothing but sea and all of the stars visible in an unpolluted sky, then watch with good company as the sun follows your lead into the new day.
Great video.Thanks for sharing your energy guys! Wishing you a safe crossing.
keep on doing anything, you are gifted personalities...
Great video and gorgeous photo/video as always! Sorry to see Josje leave :( Now the real work starts again, clean, update, fix, provision.... and you call it work. HAH! Sounds like a whole lot of work!
We are enjoying your adventure. Thanks for posting your honest good work. Along the way we would love to see you on Nantucket Island when you make your run north.
All the best from Wes and Mindy
Looking forward to the crossing and excited for you you guys! Great episode as ever troops!
That boat is off my wish list.
G'day Riley Love your enamel mug @ 11.40 matches my one next to my key board,. good on ya . No more picking up broken bit when she hits the deck, or the table comes up to meet it !
Absolutely love the videos such consistent quality and great format. Really love it :) I really enjoyed that you added in some drone shots of the surrounding more of that would be awesome
Gotta love these two :-) Great videos !
Great video!!! You should do the meet and greet in St.Augustine.
Please make sure to strap on as you are crossing the Atlantic Ocean! You never know what can happen out there... Have a safe trip regards from Malta :)
you guys are the best - good luck crossing the Atlantic!
So enjoyable to watch, great footage.
You both have courage
