Don't usually comment. But HOLY COW. This video was phenomenal. From the drone shots, to the swimming, to the little get togethers, to the new boat, to the heart to heart, to the non-stop gorgeous sunsets... everything. Your videos are usually a solid 8 or 9. But this was a definite 20 out of 10! That slow shot of the sail unrolling literally gave me shivers, and I've never stepped on a boat before. Couldn't stop grinning from start to stop. So happy for y'all. Cheers! Ok. I'm done.

Excellent footage and editing. Thank you for sharing.

Wow Daniel is a master of color grading and camera work. Beautiful new boat beautiful new videos. ❤️

This is so cool :) Hello from the future. Currently, it's June 2024, Elayna and Riley have 2 funny boys now, La Vagabonde the 3rd has launched, and the videos are really better than ever !!!!!! :)

Love the sit down heartfelt sendoff of the video, it really wrapped up what was to that point Cinematic fun and a sail! Tip of the hat to Daniel and Elay on this edit! (Daniel that sunset timelapse framing was superb) IMO The flow of this video is right up there in top 5 SLV vids, for flow (movielikeness) those two 50 minute episodes were epic in movie making as well . Riley Happy Belated Birthday my friend, what a week indeed! Hey Riley, when we gonna see your first love strapped at the Helm again, lest we forget Bilgie after all was there before Elay, she deserves some piloting time she was a crucial part of your recent solo sail. Would love to see the fun of you two work again on some night navigation shifts, just sayin ;) Elayna and Riley again the message at the end we really get it, we really do. This each week is Such a relaxed escape of fun and blue waters for all of us witnessing your journey. Cheers Steve

Lest we forget, they're on a cat now. This means Bilgie has a TWIN SISTER! Ooh, lah, lah. I think the potential exists for some serious counseling for this group! In truth I'm exceptionally happy for this new clan as they set off into the great unknown, again. I'm proud of them for not being ashamed of their successes and for grabbing onto the opportunity for more comfort and new experiences that came about as a result of their hard work. I'm jealous as hell of where they're at (literally and figuratively), but certainly not spiteful of them just because my situation isn't comparable. Simply put, my life's path hasn't yet come close to converging with a cruising lifestyle.Yet. I simply cannot understand or tolerate those that would spew hate and disdain upon someone simply for accomplishing something that they themselves aspire to. That sort of behavior is indicative of the emotional maturity of someone in the 8-12 year old range. Currently raising two teenage daughters alone. These types of emotional reactions are just one of the many, many ways of communicating in an unhealthy and unproductive manner. In general, KZread's comments section is proof enough that an embarrassingly high percentage of grown-ass adults don't exhibit or possess the ability to communicate at least at a level commensurate with about a 12-14 year old girl. (By and large it's safe to assume that the emotional maturity level for boys typically lags behind girls relative to development by a good 2-4 years.) Humans, for the most part, have done pretty well as prospering and moving humanity forward. My only regret about advancements in technology, particularly in the segment of social media, is that it's made it incredibly easy for stupid people to be stupid people. Not only that, people generally feel OBLIGATED to share their opinion, whether it was solicited or not. Y'all have a great sail, looking forward to catching up with you upon your next upload. Stay proud, stay humble, stay positive. You guys are genuinely beautiful souls. Bless you all! A big healthy ADIOS going out to you guys all the way from the Texas Gulf Coast! Much love.

Huge fan of what Daniel is adding to the team. Keeps it personal, but at times more fluid and artistic.

The old adage comes true again. "Good things happen to good people". You both earned it.

Can't wait to see your first crossing to see how the boat performs. Keep it real. Keep singing and loving each other. You are a great couple. And Happy Birthday Riley!

Happy Birthday Riley. I love watching y'all's videos, they're a roadmap to relaxation. Keep up the exceptional work. Namaste

Daniel has skills. Period. I love the Elayna and Riley only intimate style, but adding Daniel is a television show. Incredible.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful smiles, the incredible scenery, and a dream turned reality! Happy Birthday Riles!

Being a new viewer, I first watched a couple of the videos where the new boat was first seen and sailed. I decided to top there and go back to watch from the start. I’m so glad I did. You are amazing spirits, adventurous and kind. Your struggles with failing equipment and cooking while rocking away on the open seas brought respect for your unwavering determination. Showing us the happiness, frustration, and love you share with each other and with sailing keeps me looking forward to where you will lead us. To those missing La Vagabonde I, I get it. Yet I feel La Vagabonde II has been well-earned and deserved. Just as life goes, so goes La Vagabonde and her captains and crew. Looking forward to new experiences and all that comes with them; a connect voyeur of other’s worlds.

I've enjoyed watching every single episode of your sailing journeys! It's fun to tag along around the world with you guys and an inspiration to get out, explore, adventure, or travel anywhere. You guys are awesome and I'm stoked for ya on the new boat and the continuing travels!

That shot of you guys rolling up to the dock with Okie standing there.. the lighting, the calm.. it is just an incredible moment. Amazing job guys 👍🏻.. thanks for having us along! 4:35

Hi Guys, Can you show us some of the differences in how you now sail for example use of the dagger boards. I noticed when you anchored in the harbor you starboard dagger board was mostly down... what is your draft with dagger down?

this video quality is blowing me away!! congrats on the new adventure guys

So happy for you two and super jealous of all you are doing! Thanks for bringing us along.

You two have earned everything you get, Congratulations! Great videos, I have never missed one and thank you for sharing them.

Great editing and well captured shots! Daniel is doing a great job! The boat is certainly in the right hands. Keep on sailing! Happy belated birthday!

Been watching you guys since your Atlantic crossing, and I can seriously say that this video had probably the best overall quality and production! Some of the shots of the new boat, to the shot of Riley's new friend (4:40) were just SO cool looking. I don't know if you guys changed cameras or something, but huge props to you Daniel. And of course, it's always lovely to see Riley and Elayna so happy! Cheers

Finally after plenty of time watching on and off (mostly binge watching) I caught up. I think that you guys make great videos. I love the strength and freedom you guys give me. I see you are moving in a new directinon and although I loved the personal feel of the older videos I can't wait to see more videos with this quality. Hopefully you can merge it into a perfect mix. Good luck on your travels and may you sail till infinity and beyond!

Love you guys! I'm proud to have helped in a tiny way by watching every vid. I really feel the thanks goes to you though.. you guys bring a ton of joy with each episode... so, thank you too!

I am super grateful for another awesome video. I am amazed at how beautiful that place looks and will have to add it to my list of places to visit. I am glad you got to meet up with your mate on your birthday and see him off for his adventure. Thanks for the sharing your adventure, your emotions and your life. You are awesome.

You two are great!!

I have been watching from the beginning I would like to commend you for your bravery, love of adventure and what the next day will bring. May you have many more and safe travels. I envy you both.

We are so so so happy for you guys! Love the sincerity and gratitude that you guys have for your experience. Keep having fun and enjoying life.

Beautiful, inspiring, and uplifting!... You two are living the dream.

Happy Birthday, Riley! Time gone past so fast.

The video is beautiful. I have been following you all for some time, and the thing that makes your videos stand out is that they are candid, and real, and we can feel a sense of you both. So while it is so awesome I imagine to have someone helping with your videos now, please don't let the feel of the videos get so slick that rawness is lost. Some music is great, however hearing you all talking, the water lapping, the sound of the sails snapping from the wind, and you responding to leaning your new boat, is really some of the coolest way we get to share your journey. One of my favorite parts of the video was the end, where you were both expressing how wow this week, your life, and the new boat feel. Your excitement for your life is who you two are, don't stop showing it, or feel you have expressed it too much. Gratitude is something that feeds the world, and you have every reason to feel that bubbling up in you as you begin this chapter with your new boat. Thanks for sharing it with all of us!

So excited for you guys, couldn't have happened to a better couple, truly. Great episode, keep em coming! You're making this land-locked Wisconsinite feel like I should let go and go for my dreams. That, in and of itself, is a precious commodity.

You two deserve this boat...your adventure sharing and your personalities are so much fun to watch, and I think the obvious enjoyment and comfort you two have with the new cat is very well deserved! :)

Very nice guys, I love that you are doing this!!!!!

The perfect couple for this! Really happy for you both!

Nobody does sailing videos, or is as pleasant to watch in them as the two of you. You deserve what you have accomplished.

Cant say it enough. I love you guys! Appreciate so much the adventures you take us on.....the music, the time lapse, the b roll, the stories...Your videos make my day. Thank you.

Amazing

'So pleased to have witnessed your path in this destiny of surpassed expectations following your hearts and calling to the sailing embrace of this planet. Infinite Loving Blessings

Thank you for being so genuine and lovely real people. Appreciate all your videos!

Just awesome. Congratulations again guys.

Damn! Production / camera got a huge upgrade! Very well done and so happy for you guys. Keep making awesome videos!

Are you trying to impress me with the video quality ? Well it worked, I'm impressed.

As someone who is in the process of binge-watching (and loving!) your videos from the very first one, this video was just awesome. I am just loving your journey and loving seeing your enthusiasm for your new boat. Can't wait to see what's to come!

So Beautiful! All of it! The boat, Mallorca! and you two! Nice work!

My goodness, the new format and editing is just stunning. At my girlfriends house and got to watch them on her 4k big screen. Just incredible. She was even impressed. When BBC or Discovery approach you to put your stuff on T.V. remember to keep all your intellectual property rights and control. Seriously guys, it's that good. Cheers from Austin, Texas.

love the new editing style! the vlogs seem so cinematic, Love you guys

Mallorca is one of my favorite places on the planet!! Well done you guys! Well done!! And thank you for bringing it back to me!! I have tears in my eyes!!

You got the right guy to round out your crew! His video work is the bomb! And I am sure it will only get better. Captures your personalities and brings other things to your adventures that was not there before. Seems like taking a bit from great circle style and it works into your style well.

You know there is a saying "women on board is to the bad luck" but I see a complete opposite ; ) good job guys you are very inspiring. 👍👍👍

That was the best vid you have produced!! And that's saying something. I'm now thinking I should order a new Outremer! and join the club.

Guys, Congratulations! I have watch every video you guys have put out and I love everyone. Its amazing how far you both have come and I will keep up with all you adventures. Be safe and safe sailing.

Lovely to see Yu all enjoying the new Vaga and a lovely cat it is, lots of room and obviously very stable. The video was great to see and amazing drone photography which adds so much to seeing where you are. Wonderful to see you enjoying yourselves and a belated Happy Birthday Riley

Love you guys! So thrilled to have been a part of you getting that incredible cat. Some incredible footage ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵

Hey Riley or Elay, if Daniel is going to be in the footage more often, can we get a back story on him? He seems really cool and American ofcourse. Your adventures have really gotten me through the times I just want to get away from the rat race, thank you.

Hey Daniel (the camera guy), if you were to start vlogging about being the camera guy for la vaganbond, I would totally follow it. Like a second perspective. But perhaps you have a contract that doesn't allow that... Anyways, really really great work! Cheers from Sweden (and soon the world when I get my own boat in a couple of years)

Yes, good work. All my doubts have vanished about having a different video style. No, don't let Daniel vlog. It ends up being a war of cameras, everybody shooting everybody, it takes energy away from the basic job. Daniel can make himself a name doing a good job on that boat and use it for his future CV. Looking forward to your new adventures.

SO COOL! I can feel your JOY. Thanks for sharing. Keep it going. You guys are top notch at sending out a your adventurous spirit. - "The meek shall inherit the earth, The brave will get the oceans."

This is hands down my favorite episode since you guys have started, the joy and the uplifting spirits. Everything about the episode was perfect! Also the new editing style is really nice, not that there was anything with the old! Glad everything is working out so well for you too

Truly epic. I'm happy for you guys.

Love it. So much I even wrote my first KZread comment ever. But I agree with others that you should introduce Daniel better and more in depth. He is part of slv crew right? And there to stay I guess??

what a wonderfull life you two have. Gives me insperation to do what it takes to get out ther sailing. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Ps Happy birthday

I'm glad to finally see you in your new boat .I have been following your channel since the beginning . I would just like to say congratulations .. your videos are one of the best on you tube . keep up the great work.

Gods speed La Vagabond

About knocked on the wrong wood. hahaha

You've had the best week and I had a good day watching this. It was one of the best episodes. Everything just fitted perfectly together and I am really happy to see you guys that excited! I hope this excitement won't go away that fast! Safe travels.

My dearest friends... it just make me amazingly happy seeing you so fulfilled. Receive the best of all vibes and wishes all the way from Mexico. I love the new videos, btw. Keep on shinning; this world needs your light!

Please, more spearfishing and fishing!

Cool

So well deserved. Good on you guys! Your videos keep getting better and better. It's of the charts

Great Video. I'm so pleased to see that with your new boat you've got the tender hanging off davits. Every time I saw Riley lifting that previous outboard I had visions of either it or him slipping and.... Wishing you all the best with the new boat.

Yea Kevin Z is right on...Having an additional person to video, edit and add emotion and sensitivity to your videos is just excellent. I'm sure you Riley and Elayna always had the idea for videos like this but combined with Daniel this is just great guys.You wasted no time getting to the heart of movie-making, editing and choosing the right music. It's only going to get better and the adventure is starting...again.Riley, nice way to end the video, I get it, it's big in the great scheme of things and you two are riding a big wave. Elayna, I know exactly what you are saying about the fact that it's all so good and that nagging feeling of... will it last? Sailing always seems to have some inherent scary moments but so does life on land. I would say just roll with it and enjoy your adventures, they will provide many happy memories in years to come.I invite you to come to the Great Northwest where we sail from Seattle North to our own San Juan Islands the Canadian Gulf Islands to the Sunshine Coast, Princess Louisa and on to Desolation Sound. In the Summer months June through September these are heaven to sail. Enjoy getting to know your new boat and it's sailing characteristics hopefully without any unknowns or scary moments. There are limitations to any cat but knowing what they are will help mitigate those limitations.

You got a point here Moffah. Some shots did feel hastened and although I really enjoyed the video, I would LOVE to just see more longer shots of just how things go, flow, sail, dive etc. Perhaps they should consider a flashy video like this and develop a second stream of vids with just more raw longer scenes.

Happy b'day Riley! Some great viz in this one! The time lapse shot about mid-way through with the silhouetted sailboats in the foreground and the sun setting behind in the crazy-orange sky...perfection! Glad to you see you truly sailing again, and happy (as a viewer) to get through the transition, as I'm sure you are too. Looking forward to many more fair winds!

Lovely. I am so looking forward to learning more about the new CAT that you are now sailing. And what a lovely place to start off the new adventures. All the best and happy sailing.
