1000% agree. I think we are just all happy you made it home. So happy you are going to be home for your baby. Can’t wait for the next chapter of your lives. Even those of in Dallas Texas are cheering for you!!!
I am kind of blown away by the quality of the episodes now actually... the filming, editing, sound, angles of shots, narration.. It's like watching a big production documentary... well done you guys!
As someone in the biz, I'm amazed lifestyle producers haven't approached you already. You guys produce such high quality entertainment on a weekly basis that it screams to your mad skills. And as a fan - thank you.
A retiree from Canton, Ohio that has spent many hours being entertained by your videos. You guys have come up with right formula to entertain, educate and bring a smile to your viewers. And of course Lenny is a rock star!
Hello from San Diego, CA. Because of you two I learned to sail, bought the sailboat I have lived on for nearly two years, have sailed it close to 3000 miles up and down California's coast and islands, nearly always anchor vs stay in marinas, and I leave for Mexico and beyond for an unknown number of years after hurricane season ends this Fall. You continue to teach a guy old enough to be your father, and are still the best. So happy for your continued success in all things, especially your relationship and family. All the best. TvZ
Loved seeing your Dad’s reaction when you surprised him. I can relate as I’m an Aussie living in Windsor, Ontario, Canada and working in Detroit, Michigan, USA for the past 27 years. God I miss Australia and my family but I love living near and boating in the Great Lakes freshwater system. Love every one of your episodes. Have a great time back home in Oz.
Do you get to go home at all? I live in New England...Maine and New Hampshire, pretty much Canada when Im in Maine, I'd miss Australia quite alot I think...I do hope you can go back occasionally!
I'm from Shropshire, England! The most depressing place on the planet. Cold and wet everyday. Once I've got over my skin cancer tho you guys have inspired me to get out and travel the world.
Ohhhhh, the look on your Dad's face when he saw you and Lenny ~ absolutely priceless! Bet he's on cloud nine on that cross country trip with you three. So special to be with family...in these times especially.
4:46 I became unemployed the end of May. UA-cam started sending me sailing vids. You, the wynds, spearit animal…. A few others. Love the vids. I have been on a 30’ mono once. To get it hauled out. Would love to be on the water…. Forever.!! Thank you.
Watching it from the lowlands of Europe, also called the Netherlands. Brightens my day every time I watch your episodes. Much love and everlasting good fortune !!!
Watching from Central Valley, California. I’m literally crying watching this family reunite. I’m hooked. I can’t wait until my financial circumstances change, and I can join the “crew.”
Oh Grandpa hugging Lenny so hard had me choking up a bit there! Love the episode, and that tells me with you guys it isn't just the sailing.. we're invested in your journey, wherever that is.. Enjoying this trip so much, all the way from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Hi i'm a dual american-french citizen living just outside of Paris, France -- right now visiting family after 2 years apart - I can relate to the emotion! thanks for your channel, just love it
I'm getting my Monday/Tuesday "Sailing La Vagabonde" fix, watching from the Paris suburb of Triel sur Seine, France - thanks for sharing your adventures and lives with us!
Man if you didn’t cry when Reilly saw his dad you’re not human! Lenny is a great kid with the world at his feet because you two opened his path, what a great explorer he will become! Hope all is well!
I did!!! I'm German with kind of Australian roots 😍. Actually: when my dad wanted to return for good to AUS ( I was 15) he was found dead in his seat after touch down in Sydney 🤔. So, after my boy lost both legs in an accident, your country was our first destination on prosthetics 👩👧👦. Very emotional bond.
I'm from Edmonton Alberta, Canada. It was so sweet seeing your dad's reaction. Love that he didn't much care about Riley he was all about Lenny. But who wouldn't be.
I’m French, living in the USA. I was just able to see my family after being separated for almost 2 years because of COVID. I can relate to the emotions in this video, made me tear up..
Hey Riley, my brother works in Los Angeles in TV and is constantly working with producers and other colleagues in that industry. If you’d like, I can put you two in touch and I’m sure he can help answer any questions you may have! Great to see you guys having a blast with the family, cheers!
Cried with happiness watching this ~ I’m from Adelaide but living in UK and haven’t seen my family in over two years, have a 3 year old and a 9 month old (which my family haven’t met yet) and this video gave me all the feels x
I’m not crying, you’re crying. That was a pretty awesome reaction out of your pops. I’m watching in a small American town in central Indiana. I just started watching when Kara and Nate visited.
You asked where we watch from. We have been watching every episode for the last 15 months from Shropshire in England, UK. Although we are motor-homers, not sailors, lockdown restrictions have meant that Camper van/Motorhome travel all but ceased in Europe. The lack of travel has meant that our favourite UA-cam channels dried up so we found ourselves watching many sailing series instead. Yours of course was the most enjoyable. Hoping the birth and the boat build go well. Good luck for the future and please keep the videos coming. Regards Dave & Cathy.
I'm from Toronto, Canada. I've been following you three for almost 2 years and have really enjoyed your episodes. You guys helped me get through lock down! Cheers! :)
I‘ve been watching you from Hamburg, Germany for the last 2 years. My brother and I decided to sail the world after we finish our studies. In search for tutorials and experiences I stumbled across you guys and watched you ever since:) You really show us a different approach to life for which we are very greatfull. I wish you the best of luck and faith for all ups and downs to come👍🏼
Lenny is getting so big just in time for the new baby. Also I cried seeing grandpa loving on his baby grandson . It’s just so great being grandparents. Love like no other.
I Love the footage of your young family Riley and Elayna! You guys are precious to me. I always look forward to your content I haven't seen before. Precious...
I am Dutch, living in France and soon in Guadeloupe, I sailed along all the caribean islands, from Curaçao to Cuba on Dutch 3 mast Schooner and Clipper!!
I love ALL your videos….from Ottawa Canada…have family outside of Brisbane Australia and your videos from Adelaide with the birds sounds makes me weep with nostalgia from our two visits to Australia. What an AMAZING country! LOVED IT!
Your dad is on cloud 9, Riley. So, so good! Elayna is the only woman I know of willing to hike and camp a couple of weeks before having a kid. Amazing stuff.
So wonderful the surprise came together! I shed a tear. Was so lovely to meet you - Elayna, Riley and Lenny at the Mosman Rowers when you were out of quarantine in Sydney. I said to my partner 'haha look at that guy, he's got a fringe cut like Riley'... he replied 'it is Riley!'. I've been following your adventures from the start and it made my day to meet you all x
OMG your UA-cam channel is some of the best entertainment that I have ever seen. I have so much respect for you not allowing too many adds in the videos, no problem with talking adds in video itself. Thank you for your filming and editing, and I can’t wait to see Lenny (mini Tarzan) on your new boat.
The Pacific Northwest of the United States. Love the content. Keep making it and everyone will keep watching. Everyone vicariously lives through your adventure!
I live in Sunny Valley, Oregon USA. AND I have 2 Australian Cattle Dogs!!! One red, he’s a boy named B.A. & one blue, she is named Meranda. Just like your Dad’s dogs!!! Before, I had a blue boy named Buddy. And before him, I had a red boy named Clansey! ACD’s are the BEST dogs in the WORLD!!!!
As I’ve felt this already when Riley’s dad came along with the Atlantic (Was it?Pacific? No, Bahama to the US???) crossing, what a wonderful people Riley was growing up with…and I totally get it why Riley is such a fine, well rounded, yet curious minded, wise and loving person. So when Riley surprised his beloved daddy, these quiet moments filled my heart with so much love and respect ✊
SO PROUD OF YOU BOTH ! AUSSIE'S ABROAD .... HAVE LOVED YOUR ADVENTUROUS SAILS. THANK YOU FOR SHOWCASING OUR AMAZING OUTBACK (BUSHLAND 😂). Love from the Central Coast, Sydney, NSW.
quick sidetone; Why they can't get tests every 2 days for 14 days and are only allowed to go to the grocery store or a walk outside? 14days is quite a long time and with the above mentioned precautions i don't see any harm in it.
@@sooth6119 No. It’s a sad world when someone posts a simple respectful encouraging comment and the best someone else can do is make a negative reply. The sonder is not with you.
Norway , Frogner. Lovely see you back with family. Just back from a sail trip with my 2 kids born in Thailand but stay in Norway permanent now. Love follow your adventures.
You should never apologize to us for putting down the camera to spend quality time with your family. Family is ALWAYS #1.
Absolutely agree💯
Vin diesel?
Vin Diesel!
1000% agree. I think we are just all happy you made it home. So happy you are going to be home for your baby. Can’t wait for the next chapter of your lives. Even those of in Dallas Texas are cheering for you!!!
I cried
Riley’s Dad’s reaction was so great. I cried like a baby. The way he looked at Lenny was just so emotional.
I got tears in my eyes. 💜
SAME!!!! I instantly started crying
I am kind of blown away by the quality of the episodes now actually... the filming, editing, sound, angles of shots, narration.. It's like watching a big production documentary... well done you guys!
I've been saying the same thing for awhile now! Really good stuff.
That hat drop though... Grandpa Whitelum is a legend.
New York, New York.
Lenny: when he saw the camper
“ big house boat “
Good boy Lenny👍
Thank you! I couldnt understand Lenny speak :)
Yes that is what I thought he said! So cute!
@@sooth6119 I think he's speaking very well for his age. I understood everything he said in this episode.

Love how everything from poppa is addressed to Lenny. ‘We’re away Lenny!’ Soooo cute
Going over the map was great.
I felt tears when grandpa meets his grandchild. Sorry for my Englisch I'm from the Norden part off the Netherlands. Hope to see more of your journy.
Never apologize for second language skills. 😊🇨🇦
Lenny's laugh is so contagious! He's definitely built to travel and explore, such a trooper.
Northwest Ohio....wish every other day was Monday! Cried at the homecoming with Riley, his dad and Lenny. You are blessed to have that relationship!
Sha Little Lenny, It was so cute when he was pointing at the camper tent and calling it a houseboat, That little boy is so adorable
What's the saying again? Something like "If the only home you have is a boat, everything will start looking like houseboat"!?
Riley's dad's reaction - that was the best, and Lenny is having so much fun!

As an Aussie overseas missing my family this made me cry, enjoy every moment!
I cried so much when you met your dad 😭❤
hahah ME TOO
Same ~ what a lovely homecoming 🥰
I cried watered up when your dad saw you. I just felt the emotions through the screen
Same here
I’ve just lost my dad and that made me bawl for all the times I took him for granted. If you can, always take the time to keep in touch.
Watching from Central Valley, California.
I’m literally crying watching this family reunite.
I’m hooked. I can’t wait until my financial circumstances change, and I can join the “crew.”
also here from the central valley!
The contrast of sailing the worlds seas and then coming home to the literal centre of desert Australia must have been mind-bending.
Exactly what I was thinking.
I cried like a baby when you surprised your dad. Meeting my daddy tomorrow for the first time in 1,5 year :D CANT WAIT!
Oh Grandpa hugging Lenny so hard had me choking up a bit there! Love the episode, and that tells me with you guys it isn't just the sailing.. we're invested in your journey, wherever that is.. Enjoying this trip so much, all the way from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
