Sailing Around the World (Sailing La Vagabonde) - Ep. 1 Intro & Sailing Turkey
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- Having zero knowledge or experience with sailing, or even how to furl in the head sail, we bought a yacht in Italy.. we plan to circumnavigate the globe eventually, or just get the boat back to Australia. Documenting the voyage as we go. Turns out sailing isn't always as relaxing or easy as it looks and we are forever learning new things (seems to be not always the easy way).. Enjoy the video & subscribe to follow the voyage!

Sailing La Vagabonde.
Wouldn't it be great if all the morons on here too lazy to find out how Riley paid for the boat but still full enough of spite and bullshit to make claims about him having it bought for him by his parents etc actually took the time to become less ill-informed. Dipshits.
+Sean McPrawn Agreed. I just enjoy watching them have loads of fun. Who cares how they got what they have?
+Sean McPrawn And who cares even if someone's parents buy them a nice sailboat or they pay for it themselves anyways.
Indeed. Maybe if they spent less time moaning about other people's lives their own wouldn't be so shit.
Sean McPrawn I agree, it's always the miserable ones that want to share the misery.
+Sean McPrawn Who cares if his parents bought it for him anyways...
Anyone else got hooked somehow a while back and now in 2021, going back to see how it all began?
the five people who liked this ought to start a zoom group! lol
I found the channel last year and I have completed Episode 100 and above. I just thought of starting from the beginning. :)
@@AnkiandIshu fantastic!
@@AnkiandIshu you are ahead of me! but I do intend to pick up my pace, because this channel means a lot to me, especially with what they have chosen to do like with the refugee situation and Greta.
Yep.
I'm 77 years old and I think you kids are just beautiful people. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
I too am getting on!!! That said, my late father ( would've been 104 now) was shot down in his plane and crash landed on the beach in Bari, South Italy and survived - I am proof of that! 😜
Back to LaVagabond, I am also hooked on you two lovely people. I saw your baby video as well and am so touched by the lifestyle you guys display, much the same as I was 68 years ago and so, as the old cliché goes, "You Guys Rock".😎
Retirement dream am I right guys
@@alexforster2916 Alex, you're never too old . . . , do dream!😝
Happy 80
Beast 😂😂
Love this look back in time that just appeared on our timeline. I watched it a long time ago and it is really neat to watch it again, now on our own boat floating around with our 4 kiddos. Thanks for the massive inspiration Riley and Elayna. You have changed the lives of many families out there!
Who’s in 2019 & starting the binge watching marathon! :)
Me!!!!
me!!!
I can't believe I haven't stumbled across their channel before it's unreal
Me! 😀
@@ostost56 Same! Watched ep 199 and gonna binge from the beginning :D
Episode 199 popped up on my phone and I watched it now I have to start from episode 1. Love it
same exact story with me, thats youtube algorithms for you eh?
For me its 200
Same here.
Same

It’s 2022 and I’ve been following for a while and now finally binge watching from the beginning!
So I have been watching you and your beautiful family for several years.. I find myself coming back to the beginning of your amazing adventure in life where everything started. I think to myself how much Riley and Elayna must look back on their first few videos and think of the memories either on or off camera. It always leaves such a warm feeling in my heart. Having been though some serious trauma ( loss of my wife, mental health disorders, substance abuse *Clean and sober now* ) and working a lot of 12 hour shifts lately the only way I find myself unwinding and relaxing has been cuddling up in bed and watching your videos. Riley, your sense of humor and your courage inspire me more than words can say. Your a brave, strong and encouraging soul and I hope you leave the same impact on me as to others. Elayna you and Riley help bring back many memories of my wife and I which I am forever grateful for. Your such a gentle soul, caring and empowering mother I truly hope maybe someday I'll have the opportunity to meet your family in person. Many people must say this but I absolutely mean it ( coming from some random nobody) but your family deserves so much more credit for EVERYTHING you all have been through and what you keep pushing yourselves to do to keep your lifestyle. I know I'm not the only one nor the last person your family has brought happiness, joy and warmth too but I just want to say I am so very thankful I came across your channel and I wish nothing but the best for you all. Much love from Chicago, IL..
So it’s 4 years later and 2 am, but that won’t stop me from binging every single episode
I just started today!
Who's here from 2020 and amazed at how far they've come? Woot! Happy New Year, Riley, Elayna, and Lenny!
yes
Soooo how happy this New 2020 has been for you?
@@ligaskirbauska8652 I'd rather be sailing!
Jed Honrado same....
Me - in 2022. I'm currently watching their 2020 vids. I'm trying to get caught up, but I'm still behind. But, I decided to do a little flashback watching and this first video is amazing!
dear Elayne and Riley, little by little I have been captured by the simple openness with which you come across. I admire your well matched beautiful youth and love the sunsets that now and then pop up. When young (I am now a young 87), I was a sea captain and made my career on the Italian Line passengers liners totaling well over 1 million miles in the open oceans. I mention this so that you believe me when I tell you have been truly two crazy kids with couple skilled helpers from up there who must love you beyond understanding. Yet, all this said, you really must be two very, very smart kids and have learned the ropes in a hurry. I have seen how you displayed a spinnaker, how you keep the sail set for best slot ( I assume you know what I am talking about) and I would have sworn you were old hats.... You fooled me.
Yet, PLEASE, beware! the sea is not kind to fools and soon or later it will bite you in the butt! I pray you will be prepared. I love your videos !!! One day I plan to lock myself in the office and watch your entire voyage. In the meantime may you have fair winds with God's blessings. Eyes open. No fear. BE safe! Peace, Ettore
PS. Heavens, kids, had been many time in Freemantle and Perth but do not recall the heavy accent Riley has. We should all speak Esperanto!
I myself found their vids but a few days ago and have watched in a hopscotch way . I finally watched numer uno . I am absolutely gobsmacked finding out neither had any previous nautical skills . Truly amazing, but quite obvious they are two high IQd individuals. Both mentally and physically. Good day to you sir . I enjoyed your comment .
@@barfingcoyote210 there is nothing quite like knowing how to learn. They do it very well. I just got back from 2023, and it turns out they are doing well :)
Saw an episode, had to stop it and start from,the beginning!
Styles_by_shakedown Megan same
Same here! It’s year 2020, a very historical year of our time due to the pandemic of COVID-19. Suddenly an episode of them just popped up on my timeline, watched a bit, then I stopped and started binge-watching from the episode #1!!
However, they really didn’t seem like they had zero experience of sailing in this episode #1... despite the fact that they lost their dingy boat twice, they seem so relaxed and purely enjoying their voyage in their own style... anyhoo, I so admire your courage backed by your appeared to be solid self confidence and your spirit of true freedom, and moreover, you two simply looking gorgeous, in my honest opinion 🥰 Anyways, now I’m going back into my “Binge Watch” mode with full throttle! Looking forward to catching up on your present time adventure ❤️
Lastly, Thank you for sharing your wonderful life and experience! Stay safe and healthy ❣️ Fair Winds!
They must have about 300+ videos! How far through are you? :-)
@@ianrkav : I just finished S1-E65 😅 Fully enjoying every single one 👍💕
@@ianrkav I was caught up for a while. I have fallen behind. Last I saw they where taking time apart so the heart can grow fonder.
Anyone else about to do a La Vagabonde binge marathon?
2nd time... last time IamJake interupt me
Yupppppp!
nearly everyday!!
Yaaaaassss meeee! So excited!
Yes
I came back to watch again. Elayna and Riley, you are right; it is cringe-worthy. It is also endearing. 💙
I watched this six years ago the worlds a different place but it’s nice to see they’re still sailing and they have a child.
Two 👶now. 😂
you two are truly living life and not just existing. True happiness is shared.
I'm here from Kara and Nate and I absolutely love you guys!! So I'm starting from this episode!!💙
Me too!!
same
Same! 😍
Me too!
Me as well! Just loving this channel and decided to start at the beginning! Enjoying it immensely!
They look so young! Amazing how just 5 years of life experiences change a person. Elayna's photography and editing has improved fabulously over these five years...you can see the difference in this Post from five years ago.
Been following since the beginning. Now checking in today from Jan 2024. Had a strong urge today to go back and re watch ep 1 rather than one of the more recent episodes. This first episode makes me want to cry man thinking about how far they’ve come and how much they have changed and matured as people. It’s wild.
Here from August 2022 and I’ve been meaning to go back to the start…Riley hasn’t aged a day but today is much more savvy and likes to espouse wisdom and we all love his words of wisdom! Elayna is fabulous both back then and present day…a great sailing couple to watch, to learn from, be entertained by, and to live vicariously!! Just heard Riley laugh…it hasn’t changed! The music has always been consistently good. 🤣🤣

I remember watching this for the first time in 2016, 6 months pregnant with twins and having a raging flu and you guys brought me so much joy! Rewatching in 2021 and enjoying them just as much! Lots of love from Canada!
The thing that overwhelms me is that you bought the boat with absolutely no sailing knowledge at all. You had a goal and you just went for it. Amazing.
Quite lucky they're alive actually
I came back to the first video after watching your "how we met" video and I just want to say you two have built such a beautiful life and it warms my heart so much because you seem to be truly soulmates.
I love how you have over 1 mil subscribers, but you still manage to keep your channel real and you do it for joy. That’s one thing I love about you guys♥
Such an infectious channel. I've been watching since the beginning and now find myself re watching from the start. I think my favourites are the first time that outreamer moored up in the same bay and you saw your future. It was like That's it. That's the boat I want. And the whirlwind that followed with the company reaching out with an invitation to see one close up. Then the deal they agreed to to enable you guys to own a piece of their heritage. Then came the little feet and now onto the ultimate in ocean crushing brilliance that you have now. I love to see the trials you've faced along the way and how you meet them head on. Truly inspiring. The greatest thing is of course the dynamic you have as a couple and a family. Living the dream and its beautiful 😍
My family (wife, 3 kids) start our adventure next September. Our boat is patiently waiting while we detangle from regular life.
For now, I will live vicariously through the 2 of you.
2019, just met you on your video #199, and now I am starting when everything began.
Magus Barba same for me 5/30/19
How funny is that me too :-)
Who is here in 2020? And WHY did I just discover them today?
Because Henry Cavill recently recommended their channel on Instagram and they got a bit of a boost through that. I assume it made RUclips recommend them. They popped up in my recommended and then I heard about the other thing in the comments soooo...
Today is the 27th of Jan of 2020, discovered the channel by chance 2 weeks ago and now i cant stop. just started the marathon now. :D
Just started. A current episode popped up randomly in my feed and now, like others, I am enjoying the opportunity to get caught up. Very entertaining content and more "real" than reality TV. I know absolutely zero about sailing and live far from the ocean, and that makes it more interesting for me rather than less. When I travel, I like to get away from people rather than line up in cruise ship queues or be trampled by crowds. So, I appreciate their skill in avoiding the tourist spots. Looks sooooo fun and adventurous.
been here for like a year or so. These guys are awesome
Been here for about five years now. Just have to say - it keeps getting better. Welcome to a great show!!
Hi to both of you, my husband and I have been watching your videos for about 8 months now, But I just realized that I could be binge watching these daily from beginning to end.
Thank you for sharing your lovely life together.
I never get tired coming back to the old videos. This is my 3rd time. Still as good as the first time
I randomly caught episodes somewhere around 178 - 197, so now am having to go back and watch from the beginning - joining the Binge Watch Nation!
Never sailed myself ...but it's been a life long dream ....thanks for sharing your adventure
After what was probably a year of watching La Vagabonde videos I FINALLY made it through to the present. It's been an adventure. You've gotten so damn good at editing Elayna! Really, your videos now are so professional and top notch. You guys have 1m subs because of the endless improvement to quality. Those classes you guys took made a big difference. Your commitment to the subscribers is beyond any other sailing vlog. Mad props. I hope to watch for many more years. I went back to episode one to at least see how a few of the first episodes were in comparison. What an epic adventure you guys have taken. My wife and I try to adventure as much as possible with a home base. Our friends and family sure think we do a lot but I've always wanted to make that commitment to full time. It's difficult without having the bank roll or the mobile work. I'd love to figure out an income that could come with me on our travels. Anyway, just wanted to say I'm a big fan and that I'm looking forward to the future. You've inspired millions of people to at least be somewhat more adventurous. Also to take better care of their planet. You two are great role models for our generation. Mad

There was a guy who had a heavy duty mig/tig welder powered off a generator. Said there were always jobs to pick up wherever there were fishing boats or remote places without power.
And I know a woman, a professional hairdresser, who reckons she can find work pretty much anywhere.
My God!!! Rewatching this has me crying... the history... thank you for giving us the pleasure of following you both throughout your adventures. You've given up your privacy and made a small fortune for it...and wisely so....but you've given us all more than you'll ever receive from it.. we love you.. thank you thank you thank you
I remember watching this episode almost 10 years ago. Crazy how far you’ve come.
Riley’s eyes blend in with the ocean. It’s as if he was destined to do this! 👌🏾
Now that they’re a family, thought it would be interesting to come back a few years later and watch all these early episodes again. Knowing how far they’ve come, and how things have changed, and how much we’ve all grown through their adventure, it was an interesting re-exploration of the origin story. Happy patreon for years, and ardent follower. These episodes make me smile when I recall how they made me feel when I first came across them so many years ago..
Tom Phillips same!
Dude!!!! spoiler alert :)
Just came back to the beginning for a refresher..my how far you two, now three, have come. I display my SLV stickers proudly
Big Fans! You inspired us to start our adventure and make us dream come true . Restoring our Morgan 45 /1966 and making planes to start cursing around World with that Classic Beauty . Thank you 100s times . Peck and Ella
I salute you, the courage you show for taking a life adventure that nothing can really compare too.
Hi Riley and Elayna - just looking back to where you began and watching all your vids. Elayne your editing goes so sharp so early - you are amazing. Ill make sure to thumbs up each one I watch. Love to you all.
Just found this channel.2021. Spending my day off binge watching and daydreaming. Beautiful family. Cool to think how your kids can look back at your adventures before and with them.
I just want to let you guys know that your future self is doing great! + Lenny!

plus another baby , she pregnant again :D
@@catteryvonhjukiaufkashyyyk7965 yes I had a feeling about little Lenny,but the new one in the oven I knew it was coming.
I’ve almost watched them all (newer episodes) now I’m going back to the beginning to see how it all started! Such a wonderful family. ♥️
Been watching a few years now. Don't think I ever watched the first videos. Nice to see that after all the years they are still having fun sailing together.
You two are to be admired for what you are doing, well done. I hope you are having a great adventure.
Once you Learn,To Fly A Plane,Or Pilot A Boat,Then you Can Start Having Fun,And Making It Look Easy.With All Rily Know's,It's Still Not Easy Sometime,They Still Get A Little Nervois,And They Would Be Lie'ing If They Told you Different.They Have told Pll To Be Carefull,And Has Givin Lesson's On Sailing.Just Watch All The Vidio's From The Beginning,And You'll Be Fine.Rily And His Mate School'ed themselves,But Not Over Night;
Stumble on your channel as a recommendation from RUclips on vid 196 and oh how much I love this channel. Here I am starting the journey from the beginning.
I've been a long time watcher but I'm starting from the beginning again. It's amazing to see how you've grown!! Good for you guys! Xoxo 💙💙👍👍
Thanks for the flash back of 7 years. I have been watching you almost from the beginning and enjoyed the memories. Thanks again for taking us along and letting us watch you grow and take on life, the Riley and Alana way.💞
I've been watching for 2 or 3 years now and decided to see how it all began. What a fun throwback, I'm sure you just want to cringe at the way you're sailing and filming. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
So who is here in 2024 ?
Me
Me ! Been watching for like 6 years, and just for I would have a little looks back !
Not me

This is actually making me chuckle (especially the music) 😂 So wildly different compared to the high quality content you have now!
Ela they became more and more better but still love the old video !!
the binge watch starts now.
Just finished binging the zatara and i heard from them that you guys are their inspiration. legow~ may 11, 2020 start
I binge watched the last two years and now I’m starting from the beginning! I just love these kids! Talented and adventurous!!
I remember stumbling across your video, it was S1 ep 12. The sound track of that video had an impact,on my soul. I was in a difficult place in my career that impacted my health . Then I found your S1 E1, and marathon began. That was winter early 2016 . What a great and human story you have accomplished.
You guys are living the dream! Nice to see a younger couple doing some world cruising for once and living in the moment, not being so caught up in jobs/careers. Im heading off on my first Sydney Hobart race tomorrow! Merry christmas to you both happy cruising I will be keeping an eye out for your videos.
If I was young and wealthy I would spend my time skipping around the globe. But I had to work for the things I have

Your envy is sad. For every lazy schmuck claiming they've worked hard for everything, there's an endless amount of others who've worked harder for less. Stop bein' a douche, and maybe somebody will give you a cookie. Is that what you want? A cookie?
wow hearing that call to prayer, after waking up on a boat must be surreal
16 when i first started watching yous... When this was first uploaded.
Now 21, watching this video blows my mind for you guys. I wonder if you realize how valuable these videos are and will be.
If it makes me feel a certain way, i can't imagine what yous must feel when watching back.
Cheers for making me feel apart of something over the years. A different life is great to experience.
And if future Lenny (if reading), how priceless is this?
25 years old now and still coming back
I rewatched episode 1 in honor of your anniversary. Congratulations on how far you've come and all that you've achieved, and may you have many happy and exciting, but safe, adventures ahead of you in the years to come.
I am loving these REAL Amateur vids...so glad they are still up. Thank you La Vagabonde
stuck in Oregon in a huge rain storm and I really could use some sunny ocean vids. loving it.
Just Get Unstuck.
Watched about 13 videos (out of order...) so I had to go back from the *_beginning_*
_Grabs popcorn and soda_
That's wot happened to me too' now on ep 180
Riley and Elayna, you are both freakin amazing. Here I am, and Australian in London, and I am so inspired by your story. What keeps me going is the prospect of such escapades (on a more minor scale). In fact I've just paid a deposit on a 36 footer and have the inspection tomorrow - you have calmed my nerves and reinvogorate the challenge in me. PS. love the fact you read so much - you're not the average bears.
Since subscribing to this channel, it never dawned on me to watch the very first episode. Glad I did, I can see how much they have progressed over the last four years!
Oh, the memories. I really love these old videos---probably more than the newer, more professionally produced ones. These are just so REAL and they made so many of us fall in love with you guys. Wishing you continued good health and good times.
The part where they talk about the children’s room...little did they know they would have one of their own !
Kinda felt like they knew 😉
Its 2021 and thats recently been updated to 2 :) although the videos haven't quite caught up yet.
Wow, you two have come a long way. I feel like I've watched you grow up and become professionals. :) Safe travels.
I really dig your journey. I'm new to sailing and fully hooked. I bought a 27' sloop without knowing one thing about sailing. The best part is pointing it out to sea and figuring it out. Italy, Turkey and Greece looks amazing. Good luck and fair wind.
Oh how far you both have come! congrats on the new boat!!!!!
can we just appreciate this video please. I never started back here, me and the wife started when you had your firstborn, Lenny. So watching this is amazing.
I'm starting at Ep 1... We just returned from visiting my partner's family who live on their boat in southern France - we sailed a bit out of port to the islands of St Honorat and St. Marguerite on the Riviera - it was AMAZING.... I'm fascinated by the lifestyle. Thought I would check out some sailing life videos, to see if this is a dream I can realize. Never mind my fear of the sea and sea life - I'm determined to overcome it, so I'm watching.... then I hear you say you purchased your boat in Bari! CIAO! (My partner is from Bari - you should've seen his smile when he heard that.) Thank you for sharing your lifestyle. Looking forward to catching up with your present videos. Much love from Italy!!!!!
Randomly stumbled up a more recent upload of yours but thought I'd go back in the archives and watch from the beginning. Looks like an interesting adventure to follow along with!
***** cheers folks. Did a marathon of 10 episodes. Looks like a rad time!!
same man watching them all over. can't wait to live this dream my self :)
Hayden Hass You got plans to buy a yacht?
yes pretty soon I'm going to do the trip around the world in about 3-4 years but I'm going to learn in that time hopefully and save money from my job :)
Hayden Hass Awesome!! You need a deck hand?
"...not kids that you've stolen, but kids that would come on board..." Laughed to tears.
Hilarious!
This is so wholesome. Seeing you guys actually made my day slightly better and I feel motivated to live life ❤️
Now I am back to the beginning. WOW. Good for y'all. Impressed.
Just found you guys and have decided to see where your journey began ❤
I have news for you, Riley: the "pride and joy" of your boat is not the solar panels. It's Elayna.
Brilliant. With all the artificial crap in the world, it's so refreshing to see something so genuine. Enjoy the adventure!
Wow! Three years already! Had to come back and watch episode one again. You have traveled far in many ways. Cheers.
So funny to see how it all began - I have been following for years now
Can’t believe it’s been 3 years since I first stumbled upon this magical channel. You guys have sure come a long way! Sic Parvis Magna or greatness from small beginnings as Sir Francis Drake would say.
Just discovered your channel. Having watched episode 199, I have decided to start from the beginning. Looking forward to what's to come.
This is my dream! Thank You for posting these videos! It really helps move me through the day at my shit corporate job while dreaming and scheming about sailing the globe. Till I see you on the seas mate! Cheers!
Everett Jesse your dream is to sail the world with a beautiful woman aboard. So weird 😂
Im addicted ive just done from Ep.150 to Ep 202, now im starting from Ep 1 , Ive had a couple of watercraft now i want a live on size and experience traveling under my own steam .Great feeling of escapism when i watch these blogs.
Only started watching your videos about a year ago, never seen the early ones until now. What a life you've had, and what a lucky couple you are! :)
Well done for taking a leap of faith, I have just watched you on Eamon and Bec's channel you are certainly extremely accomplished sailors in 2021 Well done guys I'm going to subscribe
starting from the beginning to make sure I don't miss anything
Starting from Episode one! Sending love from Australia
It's amazing how they've grown
Who’s been following these two and their boys and decided to go back to where it all began?
5:46 Hello, I'm a Muslim❤,Let me tell you an interesting thing, It's not a song, It's Adhan (Azaan), A call for everyone to pray their prayers to the Almighty.
But i laughed so hard when Elayna kept dancing on it😂 You're so cute.

Just started watching you all and watching this video from so long ago is really cool.
Been following the channel since its beginning and felt I just had to come back and once again see where it all started
This is awesome! It's now 2022. You guys have sailed the world. Traveled with my faves of Kara and Nate. Man, time flies by!
Starting at the beginning... It's no wonder with a first video this good that you are so popular!
