Hugs to you guys. Just to be clear, you're working for RUclips's relentless algorithm that duly punishes content creators for abnormal release schedules. A consistent release schedule is impossible to keep up for any amount of extended time. You are not working for us. We are not your boss. Everybody here who is subscribed will watch whatever you put out whenever you put it out. Take care of yourselves, your relationship, your family. We are not the algorithm, we are a bunch of normies living vicariously through your amazing adventures and pulling for you every step of the way. Cheers!
Well said!
Agree
Couldn't have said it better myself. 😊 👏 👏 👏
Bang on 👍
Well said !!!
I CANNOT applaud you both enough for not falling victim to the young parenting mindset of hovering over your children..so much so that they aren’t able to learn critical thinking and basic skills on their own. Kids knock their teeth out all the time..kids fall, break bones, skin their knee. So proud of you both for allowing your children the chance to truly explore play adventure and yes even injure themselves. Bravo! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Im 22, not even in the sailing community or know anything about sailing not even the basics but you guys are pure entertainment and i enjoy watching you travel and living your day to day life. Not many people get to experience life and the world like you guys do, im sure when Lenny & Darwin get to that age, they will appreciate the life you've given them so much
I am currently in grad school studying Marriage and Family Therapy and MY GOD THANK YOU!!! Thank you for letting people know that relationships are not all perfect, that marriage counseling is not just for divorces, and that it’s okay to talk about not being okay!!
I'd say NO relationship is perfect, and many are far from perfect. It either takes a combination of change & acceptance on both people's part or it's doomed. OBTW, in my experience, men are MUCH more likely to change and accept than women who are MUCH more likely to want to mold the man into what they want. Women - quit shaking your heads - you know it is true.
30yrs ago my husband and i read the same book. It saved us. Now we have been married 38yrs. You got this guys. Blessing to you both. ❤
Just had our 41st and still hanging in there !
We've been married 33 yrs. Respect each other, don't be selfish, listen, keep the humor, don't take things to seriously. Don't put anyone before each other and your children. The reason people break up, is because they are to busy thinking about themselves instead of the other person. GOD BLESS!
So, there is a lot to unpack, but I'm glad that you guys are doing the work to stay together. The magic you two had together way back in the monohull days is still the glue that helps keep you together. Look forward to seeing the new boat. Be well.
great comment 🙏🏻
Married 37 years. Lindsay and I always made our relationship the 1st priority with the understanding that sacrifices have to be made based on the life journey you choose to take. Sounds like I am talking past tense and I am. Lindsay died of cancer a year ago and I miss her every day. I guess if I have any advice, don’t make life more complicated than it already is. Love each other every minute of every day, and “live life like you’re dying”. Let the BS roll off like water on a ducks back.
I’m 61, been married for working on 43 and have 3 grown kids (your age group). I love, love, LOVE (!) that you don’t feel you need to wrap your sons in bubble wrap! Kids are going to be kids and things happen. It’s all part of the experience! They are such lovely little guys and you both are giving them a wonderful life! Many blessings to all of you!
This was a great update. Thanks guys for some first class entertainment over several years now.I couldn’t be more pleased for you, and you deserve all your successes, because they come from hard work. Unless a person has worked in content production, they cannot appreciate how many hours go into each episode. Frankly, I don’t know how you’ve kept up the pace, releasing weekly, and also living your lives and designing boats and apps and swimsuits and writing books. Amazing!
⛵Hey guys! We're in desperate need of a nickname for La Vagabonde III. Got an idea? Drop it in the comments below!! (Vote for your favourite by giving a thumbs up).
La Vagabonde III won't be called La Vagabonde?

I’m regally grateful you’re doing the work in your relationship to improve it. It’s inspiring to see you commit to one another instead of walk away. So many people expect life to be without valleys in relationships. Way to be authentic, dedicated, and realistic y’all. Love watching your story and rooting for your success. My opinion means nothing but I just wanted to share with you.
Y’all are my absolute favorite. It’s been a treat watching you grow and being transparent through it all. I am not a sailor, but resonate a lot with E! And just love seeing your lives unfold. Many blessings as this year comes to a close. Xx
My husband and I just passed our 29th wedding anniversary, honestly still feel 29 some days, it's surreal. Anyway, we are still learning how to be better partners to one another not because we didn't learn anything up to now but because as we age our needs change and the best thing you can do for your partner is talk about what you need from one another and then do your best to meet those needs. You guys are doing a great job!!
This is more helpful to me than you know, thank you for sharing.
It’s called marriage! It easy to take each other for granted, reset, making up is the best part
you're welcome 💜@@RebeccaEloisa
Hey guys. You are the best and biggest sailing channel/couple/family on RUclips. But, not just because of the amazing boats you live on and sail. I think it’s because you are both so easy to relate to, that you make us feel a part of your beautiful family. Thanks for sharing your life journey with us. Cheers to a future filled with love, laughter, family and friends…and te perfects winds to fill your sails. ❤️🌬️🌊⛵️
You've been pretty transparent about your struggles and it has meant a lot to me. I hope you and the kids get back out on the water soon, but it's a long way to Hawaii!
I'm very glad that you're willing to share you have (had) difficulties in your relationship. My partner and I have been together for 10 years and we have also faced challenges at times. It used to make me really worried, but I am starting to realize that it is normal to have ups and downs, and that it doesn't automatically means the relationship is doomed. So thank you! I am also very much looking forward to the new sail plans! ❤
So glad you guys did the work to get through the rough patch in your relationship and were willing to not only seek good counsel, but also listen and make the changes you both needed to make. The boys are absolutely adorable and so blessed to have such amazing parents. Parent or not, I think it's in many of our natures to find out what dangers we may need to prepare for or prevent in new environments. Prevent as in, don't do stupid things in Grizzly territory, don't swim with alligators, that kind of thing. Love you guys dearly, take care and May God be with you on your adventures. God bless.
I work from home with my wife and the ups and downs are kind of normal but it can feel cataclysmic. I strongly believe there is a learning curve when sparks start flying that can lead to more maturity. We can hang on during those times, keep respectful during struggles while learning and adapting together. It's a shame so many bail quickly. We're about to be empty nesters now after raising 4 kids and it's kind of exciting again!

I was thinking the exact same. I’d never advocate for anyone to stay in a relationship that was abusive but if it’s a roller coaster with an overall upward trajectory then hang on for the ride and…reach new personal and relationship highs ❤
I’m sure Elayna and Riley will level up again and again over their lifetime because they have already proven they can do it by weathering their rise to superstardom with family intact and all healthy, wealthy and wise!
@keith62970 is this Keith from SV Zartara? Tell everyone hi from Chris
@@stilcrazychrisHe said they’re about to be empty nesters, so no not that Keith lol
I Love your videos and format, how connected you are with each other, and your willingness to talk about your feelings and thoughts, and your crazy inspiring colorful life that you’ve forged. Not to mention how beautiful y’all are! Ive enjoyed following you over the years, and I’m so impressed by your resilience and energy.
The real reason people continue to watch your channel is because they love your work. You take us to places and situations that fascinate us .. amazing to be on board actually but it’s your combined life’s work. Good job guys keep it up. ‘Mack the knife’ as a name for the new boat. It’s going to be a bit of a weapon. 😁
Love your authenticity and openness with so many of these topics!! We can definitely relate to some of what you’ve shared 💛 Thank you xx
I've been following you guys for so long now but rarely comment. I just wanted to say now how much you, as individuals but also a couple and family unit, truly inspire me. You always have done. How honest you are, showing the good and the bad, all the reality not just of sailing (that I know nothing about) but of existence. Like what the hell is all this anyway?! Life is wild and I wish I could have long conversations with you both about so much as I feel a kindred spirit kind of energy. Anyway I'm rambling and you might not even see this but guys you are SO supported. I hope you know that and feel it ❤
refreshing video to hear you guy are "normal" with your relationship, working together and stresses and strains. I was thinking the last almost four years have been very stressful with Covid and life changes so you reminded me to focus on the short past issue in life and not lump everything together since covid changed the lives of so many people in the world. Thanks again!
Loved the video guys! Can totally relate to your struggles and appreciate your honesty - that book is so true and helpful and I also found it to be eye opening for me. I feel like often us men are always pushing forward looking at the big picture and we miss all the small things with our relationships that really matter :) thanks for being so honest guys
Alaina is so relatable for me. I love the accountability that’s going on, congratulations on working for a happy, healthy relationship. You guys are inspiring with everything you do. X
Thanks Kendall, so glad you’re here with us x

It’s been clear from your videos over the last year that you have really been stretching yourselves and putting yourselves under a huge amount of pressure, then at the same time you’ve had your home (the old boat) and effectively your access to sailing taken away for a period of time. Personally I hated living in hotels and temporary accommodation and that must have been really hard with two kids. I’m so happy for you that you are taking positive steps to change the things in your lives that aren’t positive. I wish you both a very happy and loving future and look forward to seeing what you do next.
The channel, sailing videos always have been amazing, but what is truly remarkable is the fact that over time you have always shared your life from all the ups & downs as much as possible or caught up with it when able.
Sharing your life under the spotlight and your life ups and downs are very brave, remarkable and special, anyone sensible and with some life experiance knows what life, kids and how difficult that can get - it never really about land or sea it about relationships, jobs, and always family. I'm always in love with your family and not just the exotic-looking life.
Thanks for the fantastic content, life lessons and keep fighting for one another and the family and do what your heart and head tells you - most of us will follow you're life stories shared no matter the path but put yourselves always first.
All the very best for the new LVB 3 launch and trips to come, be safe and love to all. ❤👍
I have enjoyed watching the two of you since almost the beginning. My husband & I are in our 60s & live full time in an rv. We say our home is wherever we happen to be . I think you have grown a great deal & are doing a wonderful job in every aspect. Continue to enjoy traveling. What a wonderful education for those two boys. ❤
I'm just one of a million but you guys have been providing very high quality content for years and years. We love you both, not to mention Lenny and Darwin! and I can't thank you enough for the endless work you have put in. Traveling (booking it all), Sailing (good grief its hard work), having the kiddo's while doing everything else (woh), putting the videos together (editing elayna!!!), building brands...etc. It's a lot!
Can't wait to see you all cruising on the new boat! It's beautiful. Sending you all the love in the world ❤❤
Excellent video. I've been watching for years and there is a reason you two are the most popular sailing channel. The content is great, you always keep it real, and Lenny and Darwin are such great entertainers and add so much life to the experience. I can't wait to see the Rapido on the water! Thank you so much for all of the trials, tribulations, hard work, insanity, and amazing adventures you've shared with all of us!
As for nicknames for the new boat, Golden Goose, Aureate Aussie, Vang Vagabond, Marigold Merchant, Amber Adventurer, Canary Cruiser.
Went for first sail with our 1 year old today.... managed 2 hours by feeding him constantly otherwise he was trying to climb everything 😂 you guys are amazing keeping the boys inline!
Sending you all positive vibes!
Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe.
Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely...
It is always good to have a financial plan. I work with a professional planner and fixed-income strategist in NY. The fixed income portion of your portfolio won't simply serve as a buffer to the volatility of the equity portion of your portfolio, but will provide legitimate income.
I couldn't agree more. Taking charge of your life and putting in the hard work is the path to success. Having a portfolio manager like Mr. Samuel Peter Descovich is a game-changer. Their expertise and guidance can truly transform your financial journey. Making $35,000 in profits each month and saving 70% of that is quite impressive!They save you time and provide valuable insights that lead to impressive profits. Keep up the amazing work, and enjoy the fruits of your labor..
Found his website easily. It was like the first thing that came up when I searched his name. I'll surely touch basis with him to see what the best step is for me to take right now. THANK YOU!!!
It’s unfortunate most people don’t have such information, I don’t really blame people who panic cos lack of information can be a big hurdle. I’ve been making more than $65k passively investing with Samuel Peter Descovich, and I don’t have to do much work. It doesn’t matter if the market is crashing, I will always make good profit returns.
I have turned over more than half
MILLION working with SAMUEL PETER DESCOVICH on a wide array of options and finally sticking to a few that have been favorable in the past 2 years.
Thank you so much for being so honest and keeping it real . Your authenticity is why your the #1 sailing channel and your subscribers love you ❤
What a good update! All videos aren’t for all people, so these little updates are such a good way to catch up and get in the swing of things before you set sail again!
Glad you will be showing more of your adventures and more of the kids living on the boat! Thank you for your honesty on your lives, relationship and your ups and downs in life❤ peace
Great video. As a mama that cyberschooled my kids, I got crap about their socialization all the time from B&M parents. They were in outside activities, had friends and are all thriving in college and in life. And I didn't have to teach them either, after my middle child's 2nd grade, when online teaching became available. We all loved it. Best part is teach to their academic potential not to the average of a classroom, and pursue their interests.
Look, parents that can't raise and teach and school their own children (instead letting government and paid strangers do it for them) are coping real hard by shaming and attacking parents that can. That's all. You shouldn't let it get too you.
@@eriklarsson3188the have been true abuse through cyber school, that doesn't mean that there aren't true benefits to tools used well, or that sailing la vagabond will do anything but what is right for there family. Insulting people is always wrong.
Hi guys! Not sure if the international curriculum you were referring was the IB but if so, I grew up with it (PYP, MYP & IBDP) moving to various countries and absolutely loved it! I would be happy to share my thoughts and experiences too. I'm originally from Melbourne but grew up around South East Asia and am almost finished my degree in Physics from London of all places. Best wishes and can't wait to watch the next chapter!
I'm a fulltime youtuber myself (not as big as you but large enough to know how much work it is), I also have a tourist business and 2 kids and I was always wondering HOW ON EARTH you guys were doing this on the boat fulltime with 2 very young kids. So to find out you guys were not really doing it, just makes total sense and makes you more human. Big big hugs to you. You guys are awesome!
Thank you for bearing your souls and sharing the behind the scenes reality. Something has to be done about that RUclips algorithm. It is breaking people. We have started our own channel in part inspired by you guys, so thank you for that. Stay strong your lives are full and rich with two beautiful kids which is all that matters in the end. Big love to you guys. ❤
I love when you guys talk about relationships and the challenges you face it makes me feel more normal and like I'm doing a good job of keeping me and my wife and family together.
It's nice to see an introspective couple living through it all. Give me hope.
How do you feel about how Japan has been treating their coast line?
I've always loved these videos from time to time to show transparency. To show us that the sailing life and the youtube job isn't just the sunshine and rainbows it appears to be.. we've all grown with you all from the beginning and I am so proud of the couple and parents you all have grown into..
Really appreciate that you both have recognized the grounding needed to keep the relationship alive. It takes extra care and feeding and there is no subsitutue. Love your video, because you are authentic and real. And at the same time, investing in each other more. Your goals are high bars for sure and keep that in front of you always, but with regular dose of reality. You both are fun to listen to, to watch! and to witness the evolution of your lives generally. I am amazed at how you are able to share and still survive life and the world. Thank you!
Very nice to see this video! It takes two to be in a relationship and I believe y'all are doing awesome! I'm confident that all of us would understand if y'all took a week or so break from posting. You are more important to each other than we are to you. I've whittled my subscriptions of sailing channels down to two. Yours and White Spot Pirates are the only ones left!
The Mars/Venus book is a Great book for all relationships as it helps women understand men and Vice versa! Props to you Riley for taking the time to read it and likely putting your new found understanding into working on your relationship! And, props to you Elena for doing same!
you two are individually amazing, and together a force. Don’t know how you do it all! Loved the video with Aleyna alone too, stay well.
I think I started watching you guys about a year into my marriage with my wife, which is about the same time you guys started. I'm pretty sure it was because I was fantasizing about a better life at sea. But now I know that life has its up and downs and so does a relationship. I've never seen two people meant more for each other, keep it up, everyone has hard times.
Riley reminds me of my brother with how he always cuts Elayna off damn near everytime she speaks. Difference is I would've told my brother to stfu so that i may finish speaking.
You touch more than the sailing community. I love watching your videos and seeing your life. Much Love to you all.
Exactly. Otherwise I wouldn’t be here.
Already have your book preordered … can’t wait to read it to my grandson. Can’t wait to see you in India … I’ve travelled there 3 times and Love it. Very excited to see you launch Mango Magic … some of those other names Riley red out were clever too but a bit tongue twisty ❤❤❤ much love from Melbourne xxx
You guy are the best. A book that I found helpful is "The 5 Love Languages" it really helped me understand how to communicate better with my wife and 43yrs and going strong. Life Happens and how we respond is what makes the difference. Love your new boat and can't wait to see her sail. Icarus would be my favorite name for sure. You guys are doing a great job and continue to share your adventures with all of us. Thankyou so much.
You two are wonderful, I've been watching you since the beginning, and it brings tears to my eyes of how honest and beautiful you two are. I hope all positive for you.
FROTHING FOR THE APP RELEASE YOU GUYS!
You're authentic selves are inadvertently helping many to realise they don't need to hide away their struggles.
The value of seeing and speaking ones vices or shortcomings helps heal the world and each other.
Love Yas ❤
Quirky ...NSW far south coast 💪🙏
Looking forward to seeing La Vagabond on the water! You two are definitely a power couple! Every couple has their moments! The "wifes" duties and "husbands" duties are what each couple wants them to be! You're running a business and you see when you're getting stressed and you correct it! You're an amazing couple and fantastic parents! Cheers
I love this type of updates! So good to see you two thrive!
My 1st thought was kudos to you both for this episode! It must be unnerving to talk to a flashing red dot about personal feelings that thousands of people hear, many of whom you don't know. Thinking about all your topics I thought no wonder there are bumps in your relationship....Your lives are So Incredibly Multifaceted I can hardly know how you keep all those directions going at once!....Just hearing the mania in your lives and grappling with all you have on the go should be enough for everyone to understand what you are dealing with...
I love that you plan for more down time, quality time for each other and family.....
We have watched you for years and see your maturity laced with fun and humor. I see you both share many positive values for life and family and am glad you will set each other and family as priorities.❤❤
You guys rock! I love that you don't pretend it's all easy. From my perspective, nothing in this life comes without a price tag.
Thank you so very much Guys I honestly appreciate your honest content creation. I am also in awe of both your achievements especially growing emotionally, intellectually and creatively sharing it with the world. Such a delight! Much love Mango Marvels 🤩👏🏻
I love this. You two look so happy and at peace. Riley looks jacked. Elayna has a sparkle in her eyes. Cannot wait for the new adventures on the boat.
I’d tuned out for a while…distanced clearly makes the heart grow fonder. Riley you’re the man, thanks for the book suggestion (been having similar problems at home). Excited for the future videos!
I have so much respect and admiration for you both. Living with authenticity and purpose is never easy, but you stay committed to the path, it's really inspiring to see! If I can offer a relationship tip for Riley, stop interrupting Elayna when she is speaking and listen more. Allow her to fully express her heart and mind before adding your input. You both are amazing people, thank you for all you do to create quality content
You two are seriously so inspiring! As individuals and as business owners. Your transparency & genuineness shines through in your videos. Absolutely epic content, there’s really no other channel like Sailing La Vagabonde.

#1 well deserved for sure. Entertainment, life lessons, and knowledge of the space around you. Always looking forward to what is to come.
You two are relationship goals - doing something very challenging, but smart enough and in love enough to stop and assess what it's doing to you - a happy family is everything. Jobs come and go, family shouldn't. Lenny looks so proud holding his book 💕 Darwin and the pizza - oh my goodness what a little king he is - he owns his life. PS I love love love your schooling plan - the actual learning time in a brick and mortar school is pretty short - the rest is shuffling kids around, recess, lunch, waiting your turn for help - and your boys will have the enrichment of world travel. Lucky lucky boys!
What a staggeringly well balanced team you are! Great insight to your life and the challenges it throws up! Thank you for your honesty and for sharing, truly appreciated. As for boat name…. Sweet Mango!
PS Riley, read the book some time back and have never looked back!
You guys seem pretty level headed to me. That book........I know it and learned from it. But it takes two to tango, learning existential things like that can also mean you grow apart, that happens too. I applaud the fact that the two of you , despite all the problems. do seem to stay on the same page and hence grow as a couple and a family. Kudos to you and keep on going and take it easy!
I gotta say it is such joy watching you guys and being taken along for the ride (sail?). So real, honest, fun, practical, entrepreneurial, and just grabbing life by the horns. Thanks!
Congratulations for the the new boat guys and I am very glad to see that you managed to get some time off :) all the best and thanks for sharing your adventures
Boat nickname: Following Sunrise - life follows sunrise.
Your so right about your parenting skills. I saw an article about a study showing that "bubble wrapping" children is a reason for teenage and young adult anxiety and depression. Children who have a parent hovering over them and never have any experiences doing their own thing doesn't prepare them for life. It doesn't give them the tools to make decisions, problem solve and be proud of something they did by themselves. It also doesn't allow them to learn to fail and accept failure and move on. Experiencing a perfect childhood makes miserable adults.
You’ll never stop learning about each other, especially as the kids grow up. Everything is amplified in a small living space, I think you’re doing very well. As for fitness, it’s a must for living at sea especially. I don’t really notice the detail of your physicality, I just see fit healthy young people with kids. Plus, I love that you’re fellow Aussies showing the world an alternative lifestyle. Keep up the great work ❤❤
You two are amazing. Stay strong and realise how lucky you are to have each other sharing the amazing experiences you get up too!!! ⛵️
So excited for your newest endeavor, the launching of your new boat! Considering everything you have accomplished, every story that you have scripted, the places that you have seen, and the inspiration you have gifted to all your viewers, my suggestion for your new boats name is The Origin, or La Origin. It by definition means;
the point or place where something begins, arises, or is derived.
Also sounds like the color orange 🧡
That was a great video! Watching Lenny and Darwin grow up has been so much fun. I have always said the Lenny was smart and now I can tell that Darwin is going to be a character and many video clips coming with him as the star. Can't wait till next week!
Longtime follower since almost the beginning and I can confidently say you two are beautiful people inside and out. Love this video and the change from the usual video. I can see the "spark" back between you two the last handful of videos.
So glad I discovered ur channel 3 years ago love watching you guys and your family grow.❤️
Anything worthwhile that fulfils you then most likely it’s gonna take work, I haven’t seen your channel since you started and it’s good to see you still going and being so honest 👍🙏
When you said you're the number 1 sailing channel I freaked out oddly for just a moment. I've been following you for years and years and years and felt special but now I'm just a drop in the ocean of La Vagabonde fans. Also, I think it's hilarious I felt that. Happy for your success mates.
Your relationship/work balance discussion hits home soooooooo well. Big picture + emotional details + mental wellness and downtime is difficult but necessary to carve out time. Kudos to you both for showing this and also living it every day.
A lot of strong relationships go through what you guys go through. It's normal. Just remember to communicate and listen and be vulnerable, don't be disrespectful. One helpful thing that someone told me was, " speak to how you'd want to be spoken to." Meaning, if you say something rude, how would it make you feel if someone spoke that was to you. Also, with your travels, don't rush. Enjoy the process. I've been a fan of yalls for a few years and love that basics. Seeing yall live a free er life, than what I live, is super fun and inspiring. Cheers!
Lots of interesting things happening. Congrats on the book, app etc. Lots of addictive highs with you both supporting each other. Keep up the great work.
Really great post today. I appreciate your authenticity and loved your updates. I think it’s important for all of us to look back now and say that the last few years have been hard and unexpected. I’m trying to plan my journey forward and it’s challenging to do. I admire you both as individuals, a couple and as parents. Wishing all of you the very best going forward aboard your new home, and look forward to your videos as your lives and journeys continue. Thank you! ❤️👊👊
Those two boys are seriously two of the cutest kids I have ever seen and I’ve cared for hundreds. Your parenting style is awesome, and they are very lucky little boys. That story of Darwin taking the pizza! Like a boss! Hilarious 😂
Thanks for taking time to post this for us!
First I love you guys and thank you for allowing us to be part of your family and career! Second I've been watching since 2018 and ya'll were my first RUclips subscribe and YOU are #1❤ I pray for your strength and grace to keep the videos etc coming!!! All my love from Texas❤ XOXO
Great Vid guys - love a good catch up and CANNOT wait for you to set sail - we're so excited for you, it's finally happening!
Can totally relate to the first half of this video too - so hard to see outside the box when you're in it 24/7 - time off it SO key and i'm glad we're taking care of ourselves on that front now.
Better late than never ay!
Fingers crossed we'll see you somewhere in the world soon

Riley. Stop interrupting, you bloody Martian!! 😉 Yes #1 sailing channel. That pizza pilfering had me in tears. Great kids come from great parenting. You seem to have great kids. No assumptions about the bedroom stuff. You let it slip once. wink, wink. Say no more. Good luck with the launch!
THANK you. This drove me crazy! There must be a chapter in the Mars section! LOL. I'm the same way so I get it. It's hard to wait till the thought is out, then it's your turn to add on! Lol. 😂😂
He never lets her fully express herself and the resentment is palpable. He still doesn't get it.
This landlocked Kentucky granny loves your channel! Your family is precious. The love you have for one another and your beautiful boys is so apparent in all that you do. ❤️ Love GOD, love each other, love your babies, be safe, and enjoy your adventures ❤️
Hi The video was great. You guys have done so much to teach us to love the sea and sailing.
I hope, as a family, can enter a chilled reflective season. When you can process how much you have done. And then to decide which direction is going to produce the best fruit. So enjoy and give yourselves space.
Thanks again

Appreciate the transparency and updates about life guys! Im impressed with how pro-active you've both been with re-connecting with eachother. Regarding AG1...I bought it and it was an excellent deal but sorry it taste like 'grass' to me🤢 so I add fresh pineapple juice which helps heaps😁so looking forward to the launch woo hoo🎉🎊💥💥
I started adding coconut water to my AG1 and it's quite nice and now I look forward to it in the morning.
I hated it actually. Glad someone finally said it.
I've been lurking for a long time, always "liking", not commenting. I love your videos. What I'm thinking when watching: OMG Elayna is so beautiful, inside and out. Riley is just too handsome but enough of a rascal to keep it real. Your kids are gorgeous and you are amazing parents, even when you fail. Because holy crap we all failed, especially at that age. It doesn't matter if you're on a boat or have 1,000 acres of land. They can suck every ounce of energy out of you. And yet...well you know. Jeez, trying to fit in everything I want to say. How much time do I have?
Well said! And I agree from another Ottawa adjacent watcher. Much admiration and gratitude.
@@GreenVertigo7 Thanks, neighbour!
Loved this video. Catching up with your life updates in the busiest (and best) year of my life thus far and feels good to see you all healthy and in a good place. :)
Finally going to the Philippines! I’m so excited for you guys. Been watching you since the pandemic back when I was in my 1st year of uni now I graduated and still so very happy for your little and big success. Hoping to see you here!❤
Just make sure you guys take care of you! Take the time for yourself!
I recommend the book: The 5 Love Languages. It really helped me understand how other people are loved and not only in a romantic relationship but all types of relationships.
YES, Excellent book too. Must read!!
excellent
100% read 5 Love Languages!
Yes. People love differently and need different types of love. It helps knowing your partner’s love language.😊
Transformed my life....I understand myself and others so my relationships are much more rewarding and meaningful.
OMG. Men are from mars. That book had me looking over shoulder like the dude had been watching me. I still think about it every time my wife unloads a problem onto me - I stop myself from suggesting solutions! And it's like magic, it changes the whole dynamic and she appreciates me just listening to her. The difference is wild. Good on you for improving yourselves! Love from Alice Springs, still sailing my 40ft land yacht
Guys you’ve made it through two toddler boys, on top of everything else, that’s amazing, love your journey, it’s so real ❤
Great to see you guys! I really appreciate the catch-up and i'm happy to hear you're doing well. And parasite and rabies free? 😊 i'm looking forward to the launch of Icarus, Mango Magic, Banana Hammock (😮) , or whatever name you choose!!!! ❤
This video was so relateable for a fellow couple who also does YT full time. It can be tough- subjected to the algorithim, being as consistent as possible, and balancing between lovers, friends, and co-workers. My guy is also the big picture person! We really relate to both of you and the roles you play. Thank you for being candid! I'm happy to hear you're feeling more refressed after burnout. Keep following your dreams and you'll look back in 10+ years and be so proud of the hard work and beautiful things (and memories) you've created!
Nice to catch up on your lives! Excellent production as usual. So relatable.
I’ve been watching you both for a long time. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Take care of each other. Sending ❤ and looking forward to future videos.
