you can really get lost in these sailing videos... 🤤 dreaming one day ⛵🌏. at first I was depressed turning 40 but now I look forward and excited about life now I'm saving for a catamaran. sailing class starts in February thanks for the videos! liked 👍
Tampatec How awesome! Good luck with your plans! 😎 age is just a number! Talk to someone in their 80’s they would tell you go out and live! The world is yours to explore! 👍🏼✨
Hey guys, just discovered your channel in the last couple of days, and love what your doing, great travel vlogs, well produced and edited. What a fantastic way to travel! I did a bit of sailing myself, back in 2004, having left England with nothing but a bicycle, a tent and a camera; I´d just got divorced and given up everything I had worked for a lifetimes dream of adventure on the open road; letting life come as it will, with no plans and nowhere to be other than where I was. I cycled across Europe and hooked up with a friend in Greece, and after spending a couple of weeks bumming around on the beach, met a guy who was sailing single handed and gave me the chance of a lifetime, to crew for a month around the Greek islands. the boat was the same as your first, a 46 ft Beneteau. I´d never sailed before, and it was only a short time but we had a lot of adventures; sailing gull winged through the gulf of Patras between the Peloponnese and the Greek mainland with a 30 knt meltemi blowing, dodging tug boats and oil tankers through the Corinth canal, dotting round the Aegean islands. Coming into harbour under full sail and having to drop everything and bang the boat in reverse to dodge an out-coming hydrofoil.. I´m sure you know what I mean about greek ferries! I was away for 6 months and going back to the UK, life was never the same. So I left the UK and have been living in Norway for the last decade or so, holding down a regular job and travelling the world as much as I can with my girlfriend here. Social media did n´t exist then as it does now, so there are no records of the stuff I did except a bunch of photos and a head full of memories. But now, coming into the dark, cold Norwegian winter, seeing what you´re doing really takes me back out there; so thanks for that :) So now I´m gonna go back and watch some of your earlier adventures :) Keep up the good work, stay safe and happy travels! all the best!
Love the under water videography per usual, fish or no fish like a whole nother world down there, that song by Jake Howden at the end (no affliation) was a lovely tune. Great Episode RED! Cheers S
I went from Corsica to Amalfi, then Sicily (Cefalú) and back up to Sardinia last August, with very little wind and a group of seven on a 40 ft Dufour, in 14 days. A lot of motoring (at 4kn) and watches, and not so much of the wonderful islands and people ... I can say unequivocally: you are doing it the right way!
“They’re from Germany” *Dutch flag waving in the back* nice try Daniel. We still love and miss you hope you’re having fun sailing on your own out there
so I did some research because I was wondering about the same thing. the company that was heavily promoted on the boat (koppert biological systems) is incorporated in Straelen, Germany. The town is in Western Germany directly at the border of the NL. From Straelen the Dutch sea is closer than the North sea in Germany. So it may very well be Germans sailing under the Dutch flag.
The flag is representative of the country that the boat was registered and insured in, known as a 'Flag of convenience', like my Grandad used to have a little yacht and sailed under a French flag but he is English.
Guys - My beloved dog got diagnosed with cancer today, im distraught! He has a few days left with us on this glorious earth. Thanks so much for this vlog and your ability to cheer me up. Thank you guys.
Sorry for your sad news, be strong for the pup and do the right thing in a timely fashion and take heart in the fact that there are more lovely animals who are ready to become new family members!
Hey guys I have been following you now for only he last two weeks doing great let me tell you. I don't know how much fishing you have got under you and don't think I am telling you what to do but when you have a fish on try picking the rod up and pull in to the fish before you start reeling in so that you set the hook into the fishes mouth and hopefully you might not lose to many ok. Many thanks for bringing us along and all the best Paul in the uk
I can almost smell the sea air. Thank you guys for sharing your wonderful story. It makes my days in an office looking out at the winter weather much more bearable.
Riley tech tip . When you don’t have a impact driver . Good screw driver and a hammer can loosen screws . Firm grip and a few taps of the hammer will break screws loose .
Came from Van Life videos. Elayna's music choices for the videos are epic. So let me get this straight: you went from Italy to French Polynesia, then flew back to France. Then back to the Western Hemisphere, then back to Portugal, then back to the Caribbean? Dammit Riley, you haven't gone around anything yet, let alone the world! You going in circles son...oh, but what circles they are...
7:53 , 8:17 - 9:30 This is why I started watching your channel.. those moments of careless freedom, drifting... You could do an hour of it and I'd watch it over and over.
This episode had excellent flow... guys this is the best ever on the new boat... you're back to your fantastic self! Thank you for taking us along for the ride.
Elayna, I liked how you briefly commented on how you were going to maneuver the boat off the wall where you were docked. I'd like to see more videos of how you and R operate your boat when out at sea. I like the technical side and it's worth showing to other sailors out there. Keep up the great work!!
We're moving to Idaho later this year. They have a huge lake there, and we're going to get whatever kind of sailboat appropriate for the lake. Thanks for the inspiration!
I just started following you fine folks and I really enjoy the content and music, can't wait for the next new adventure you take us on, in the meantime I will be watching the older episodes. Great job!!
Riley - you look so much like my Dad from when I was a kid and we were sailing the BVIs. It bringing back memories just seeing you! Such a great childhood I had thanks to my parents love of sailing. Aimee in DC
I've been watching for years and am so pleased by your success... one thing I often think is it would be great if you could occasionally explain a bit about sailing for instance what a Code D sail is!? All the best!
Glad you free dived. Hard to beat Elayna swinging on the sail. How deep did you dive. Looked like 20 meters? Wish you caught that fish. That will make the new Lavega broken in. I see from a florida dealer that has been on a few vlogs that the normal in European boats being sold do not have AC. I may be a nice thing to do when you get into that southern caribbean. The guy that has the most experience that I know is Rick at Ambient Real Life. I have seen him tear into things and is certified in that field. I feel for him as I am a HVAC guy in Texas with the A and C meaning commercial class Process heating and cooling and AC unlimited class. Rick has gained my respect by seeing him deal with it for many years. Those sunset captures are superb. The swinging above the trampoline is what those trampolines are for.
I am amazed every time you raise a sail that you don't have electric winches on a boat that size - but then again we always insist on A/C too when we charter bareboat cats. Love the videos. K
Loving your work guy's, It seems that the new boat is an absolute jem👍👍 Ohh the possibilities awaiting you and the dream lifestyle that is both a lot of hard work but also one amazingly beautiful dream vocation. Congratulations and all the very best for the charmed life and lifestyle you have created for yourselves 👍👍🤔
Ah Sardinia to Sicily, did that one. Made the mistake of opening the hatch to my forward cabin. In flew a bird that proceeded to shed its feathers and shit all over my double berth. What a lovely welcome package after two days at the helm when all you want to do is lie down and take a nap. Anyway, top stuff.
Another solid video, guys! Looking forward to next weeks, looks like a keeper. Hate that the fish spat the hook out, def the worst part about fishing at times. Stay safe and keep up the fun adventures!
I can cook and clean forever if i can come along with you?! I am a really great cook as everyone has ever said. And i am very OCD when things should be proper and tidy. Plus you two are really funny and genuine nice people. Watch you guys either way, even if a no to come aboard 😧. Best of luck and prosperity to you both from my wife and i in Arizona USA!!!
I watch other sailing videos but return to la vaga . I like to see a nice boat, nice gear and people knowing what they are doing on the water.....some day i would love to learn how to speak Australian....lol
First off, I love you two and I’m endlessly jealous of the way you live. I’m a sailor myself but from switzerland and since we are landlocked I usually only get the chance to sail on lakes:) I love the way you let friends stay with you and I was wondering if you ever thought about letting some subscriber joining you. Not to appear like a creep but that would just be a dream! xx lots of love
Hi! I love Switzerland 😎💕🌟 lucky you!!! And if you want to join them for some sailing you can become a Patreon and then have a chance to go sail with them sometime. They usually chose randomly but yeah, is very possible, not creepy at all 😅😎👍🏼
Meli M Uh thank you! It’s always nice to hear that people like switzerland even though I’m currently living in New zealand and don’t want to go back😂 anyway, how can I get a Patreon?
Keeping up with Diana You can open the description of the video, the have included a link to become a patreon. Patreon.com .... and about Switzerland 😍 I lived in St.Gallen for a whole year and loved it but I understand you don’t want to go back, it’s a small country so why not explore the world? Ha. I live in the south of China and take every opportunity I have to travel the world! 😎
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE JUST LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND ADVENTUROUS LIFE STYLE! SENDING ALL MY POSATIVE VIBES, I HOPE THE WIND CURRENTS AND CARRIES THEM AND REACH YOUR SAILS:⛵💪💙
I've been to that catacomb...it is so Rad! I liked the old outfits and yeah it's about the creepiest thing I've ever seen, BUT, try finding something like that in USA or Australia...N.F.W. !!! hahaha. Hey, in Palermo, Vucciria is a public market by day, but a lively hangout by night. I recommend it!
First off love the show , I am so jells of you guys. second Riley have you heard of a soft start module for Ac units? if appears as you have plenty of solar panels to run one or two units with your lithium battery's if you had she soft start module. I have seen other bouts do it. just saying sometimes Ac is a good thing. mike
Great video. Some time you should do a flashback video where you show older forage when you visit a place you have been before. I know it may not be the same quality video but think it would be cool for new people that have been seen the old videos.
Hi there, bet you guys are lovingg the new boat. I subscribe to Audible as well, I now have over 160 books in my library. I like to listen to books while out on a motorcycle ride
I just love watching these videos! Had to LOL when you called Riley out pushing the shopping cart! Thumbs up for the dirty dishes and for the cast off! Ok have to finish the video!
So what is your oldest memorie of being on the water , how young was ya , what got ya so intrigued to do this , ya must have a love for the sea. I almost bought a house boat on a lake called 10 mile lake,just out of flourence on the oregon coast. The constant motion and the squeeeks changed my mind, would have been fun for awhile I suppose.
Exceptional video! Thank you. What a grand lifestyle you live. Before everyone goes all reading disapproval into this, I know they earned it. I approve and dream of such a life.
Elayna, (that spelled right?) Riley. Our family hoping to head out on the deep middle of next year. Looking forward to getting away from hectic land race. I know there is SO much to do while on the water, but I also figure there is a lot of quiet time. Can you guys film some of that? Would love to see the serene side now and then:] Love you two
Getting closer to my home Pisticci. Enjoy the weather while it lasts! :) Pick some olives and enjoy the good Italian food! :) Cheap housing in Sicily avail if you like living beside a volcano.
I feel a bit sad that you only saw the tourist trap / super yacht north of Sardinia, if you had made it down south you could have visited the real Sardinia, taken a trip into the mountains, met the "alternative lifestylers" and farmers who make their homes there, the rural villages where you could try some crazy cheeses and beautiful wines, horse riding, fresh urchin. You missed sooooo much.... :( You seem to always be on a constant race to get somewhere else.
I’m not sure why that is but it might be a budget thing. Also marinas are expensive so they probably prefer not stay too long where they have to pay for overnight parking.
The marinas outside of the the northeast of Sardinia are far more affordable (In fact everything is) and you can anchor all over the place for free. I spent two weeks earlier this year sailing in the northeast coast in and around La Maddalena (I live in the south of the island) and although beautiful it was just full of russian oligarchs on their super yachts having nightly parties, really bad but very expensive restaurants and tourist junk shops. In terms of real culture it was pretty lacking. Head anywhere further down the east or west coast and you actually meet the real Sardinian people, visit an agriturismo in the hills and experience exceptionally fresh food that won't break the bank. 5€ a litre of wine instead of a glass. Roasted suckling pig (Maybe not down Elena's street but I love it) or fresh Orata (Sea Bream) or Spigola (Sea Bass). To be honest if I had arrived in north Sardinia and assumed the whole island was all like that I would probably have wanted to move on as quickly as I could too.
I am so impressed with your free dive depth!! How long can each of you stay under before resurfacing??? Love watching you guys! Also, my ancestors come from Sicily! Looking forward to seeing more of it! Stay safe guys!
This sums up why i envy Riley in one view .. 12:40 ... Ocean check , Million dollar Catamaran check , Beautiful woman check , Only worry is which way the wind blows .. Some of us men have dreams . Some men have reality .
What happens when the wind speed goes over 15 knots ??? Can anyone tell me. Would have been nice to have had a little look around that small island oh well to bad. Everywhere you go is so beautiful. Could life get much better ? Loving sailing through your eyes, thanks Just wish you wouldn't rush through the episodes so much, would it be much harder to make them a bit longer ?
Aren't you ever worried about big sharks when you just jump off the boat like that ? I burned my whole hand yesterday and was thinking of you Alayna. Ouch ! Lots of blisters so I did what you did an all worked out well ! Sail on my friends ! Can't wait for Sicily.
Where are your off to next? After Sicily you should pass by Malta it's very close to south Sicily and a beautiful island. Would love to meet you if you pass here in Malta!!!
Very nice episode as usual! Were you guys near Alicante when the Volvo Ocean Race started? Would any of you like to be part of such a race at any point in time? Keep up the epic videos!
I wanna go to the med badly but it just seems like such a pain. Over priced , constant issues , rough sailing , I think I’ll spend the first few years in the Caribbean and South America.
I love your videos I just started and this one is a few years back. I see her complain about how filthy the boat is after guests leave. "LETTUCE" on the floor. For such a lovely engagement party on board and old friends saying goodbye.. I felt awkward for them once they watched this video. Again they are Riley's friends maybe once I watch more this will shed some light on what seems to be passisive aggressive kinda banter after the guests left but recorded on video for all to see. It made the cut after all
you can really get lost in these sailing videos... 🤤 dreaming one day ⛵🌏. at first I was depressed turning 40 but now I look forward and excited about life now I'm saving for a catamaran. sailing class starts in February thanks for the videos! liked 👍

Great video. Simple yet inspiring.
the center of olbia is beautiful. a beautiful church, nice bars, little streets and good food. too bad that you missed that.
I am amazed every time you raise a sail that you don't have electric winches on a boat that size - but then again we always insist on A/C too when we charter bareboat cats. Love the videos. K
You guys are my periodic inspiration! Thanks for your posts!
Loving your work guy's, It seems that the new boat is an absolute jem👍👍
Ohh the possibilities awaiting you and the dream lifestyle that is both a lot of hard work but also one amazingly beautiful dream vocation.
Congratulations and all the very best for the charmed life and lifestyle you have created for yourselves 👍👍🤔
Ah Sardinia to Sicily, did that one. Made the mistake of opening the hatch to my forward cabin. In flew a bird that proceeded to shed its feathers and shit all over my double berth. What a lovely welcome package after two days at the helm when all you want to do is lie down and take a nap. Anyway, top stuff.
Another lovely video. Thank you
I am so excited but also worried for your guys setting off to the ice soon! Hope all is going well for you :)
Great guys. You’ve really taken your channel to the next level. Adventures just over the horizon.
Another solid video, guys! Looking forward to next weeks, looks like a keeper. Hate that the fish spat the hook out, def the worst part about fishing at times. Stay safe and keep up the fun adventures!
Loved that bright colorful laundry room☺ I love the purple sails. Beautiful blue water you guys got to dive in.
I can cook and clean forever if i can come along with you?! I am a really great cook as everyone has ever said. And i am very OCD when things should be proper and tidy.

The water looked magic on your dive excellent video
always an entertaining watch! dont ever stop sailing!
Looking forward to the Sicily video because I've always wanted to visit Sicily! I like how you mix sailing content with non-sailing content!
First off love the show , I am so jells of you guys. second Riley have you heard of a soft start module for Ac units? if appears as you have plenty of solar panels to run one or two units with your lithium battery's if you had she soft start module.

Perfect song at the beginning. Found them on Spotify. Love it. Thanks a lot. XO
Exceptional video! Thank you. What a grand lifestyle you live. Before everyone goes all reading disapproval into this, I know they earned it. I approve and dream of such a life.
Over the last few months the production quality has gone up a lot. Great work. Thanks for making these videos free to watch. :)
I so do love Italy ❤❤❤

Roasted suckling pig (Maybe not down Elena's street but I love it) or fresh Orata (Sea Bream) or Spigola (Sea Bass). To be honest if I had arrived in north Sardinia and assumed the whole island was all like that I would probably have wanted to move on as quickly as I could too.
I am so impressed with your free dive depth!! How long can each of you stay under before resurfacing??? Love watching you guys! Also, my ancestors come from Sicily! Looking forward to seeing more of it! Stay safe guys!
thank you, you make life fun
This sums up why i envy Riley in one view .. 12:40 ... Ocean check , Million dollar Catamaran check , Beautiful woman check , Only worry is which way the wind blows .. Some of us men have dreams . Some men have reality .
What happens when the wind speed goes over 15 knots ??? Can anyone tell me. Would have been nice to have had a little look around that small island oh well to bad. Everywhere you go is so beautiful. Could life get much better ? Loving sailing through your eyes, thanks
Just wish you wouldn't rush through the episodes so much, would it be much harder to make them a bit longer ?
Aren't you ever worried about big sharks when you just jump off the boat like that ? I burned my whole hand yesterday and was thinking of you Alayna. Ouch ! Lots of blisters so I did what you did an all worked out well ! Sail on my friends ! Can't wait for Sicily.
Sharks.... it's the med... Not much chance of that.... :)
You guys do a great job on your vids. Bravo!
Great job guys! Another great episode! All the love from Patra!

Molto bene siete bravi belli e simpatici. Il bel paese e la bella vita vi salutano. Next time I will translate!! Good luck!!
Love you guys happy sailin!
I sure hope you visit Malta. I used to live in Msida. Cool place.
Very Nice you guy's.....I'm sorry I haven't commented for a few weeks I've been sick with pneumonia AGAIN........waaaaaaaa
mmmm. time for adventures in paradise
Watching these videos, one can certainly see how the expenses add up.
Where are your off to next? After Sicily you should pass by Malta it's very close to south Sicily and a beautiful island. Would love to meet you if you pass here in Malta!!!
So hot no aircond? Amazing videos thanks for sharing!
Very nice episode as usual! Were you guys near Alicante when the Volvo Ocean Race started? Would any of you like to be part of such a race at any point in time? Keep up the epic videos!
Some time ago you used some music by "Hollow Coves". I really like it so now they are on my Pandora rotation! Thanks!
I wanna go to the med badly but it just seems like such a pain. Over priced , constant issues , rough sailing , I think I’ll spend the first few years in the Caribbean and South America.
Is this Totem , with the family that's been sailing for 12 years ? Its a great story and their on UA-cam.
Wonderful episode!
That moment you watch this in bed alone at midnight
@@SailingLaVagabonde Haha :P
I love your videos I just started and this one is a few years back. I see her complain about how filthy the boat is after guests leave. "LETTUCE" on the floor. For such a lovely engagement party on board and old friends saying goodbye.. I felt awkward for them once they watched this video. Again they are Riley's friends maybe once I watch more this will shed some light on what seems to be passisive aggressive kinda banter after the guests left but recorded on video for all to see. It made the cut after all
As always loved the video, keep up the good work.
