I was raised on a sail boat from the time I was 7 until I was 12 here in the Pacific Northwest. I always said when I turned 30 I was going to sail around the world. I am well past that mark and while life happens these dreams just sometimes don't. Thank you for posting these videos and sharing your journey with all of us.

Carl Thompson Wonderful quote!! =) I will share one: "From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines, going where I list, my own master, total and absolute, listening to others, and considering well what they say, pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me." -Walt Whitman (1819-1892)
+Carl Thompson Wow strange.. me too from 5 to 12 but sailed out of SF south to Mexico, through canal and all of the Caribbean.. ended way to soon in Fl. Now in DC studying law so I can get my properties back from these thieves ... turns out we have all been getting robbed so it has turned into a 6 year ordeal to discover ways to hold them accountable... Finally winning cases, Now time for my claims... Drop me a line let me know how it goes when your ready to set sail again... Got boats.. in my back yard of one of my properties which was fraudclosed upon over five years ago.... just no time to sail due to the constant necessity to study and write docs... but now it is coming to a close... 42 USC 1983 .... to sue the criminal corporate courts (look the court up on dunn and Bradstreet) oh and I was up to date on all my payments on three properties but they needed the "statistical number" of "defaults" to collect insurance on the PSA or REMIC trust insurance policy's.. up to 24 policies on the entire amount of alleged Notes in the trust.. guess what .. No Notes in the trust.. it was all a scam like derivatives.... Ok sorry .. back to the video... ahhh...... Just in case you're interested I do a talkshoe.com show on sat at 9pm now and old shows are available.. at program 126101# if you want to call in.. and get my private communications... All the best!! Better to have someone living the life than no one living the life ... eh?
I enjoy watching your video's. I use to go to Catalina Island on my Dad's boat when I was a kid. I get to live out my enjoyment watching your videos. Those lost memories in my mind of my island being on a boat feeling with my dad and brother. Smelling that fresh air and amazed by all the beauty around. Throwing my fishing pool in the water and catching a fish. So cool! I would say Riley, you are living the ultimate dream. You get to sail the world with a beautiful woman that doesn't seem to complain.
I envy you two.....you visit such amazingly beautiful places; you are making memories that will last you a life time. I enjoy your videos very much. God speed and safe travels!
YAY! Just discovered you two lovely people - watched all episodes... I'm hooked. Your videos makes me laugh and fall in love with this lifestyle. You two truly are doing an amazing job with these videos. Can't wait for more to come :-) Namaste!
G'day I stumbled upon this and couldn't help but watch one video after the other. I see such a great story unfolding. Riley you are the modern day Albi Mangle. All the best
Hi Guys, I love how you two work so well as a team, completing sentences, and errors. I also love the background music choice - not sure who has rights over that aspect but defend them well is my view, great watching, great learning and great listening too.
What a wonderful life. You're both young, healthy and seem to share the same love for what you're doing. I've boated and lived aboard for about 20 years and have always had a dream of doing this for years. Health problems slowed me down when I was younger and now age is a factor. You're doing what so many of us fail to do and that's living out your dreams. I wish you all the best and thank you so much for your beautiful video's.
My wife and I used to live on St..Thomas. Your vids are so good. Except they make me sad I'm not there's now. Also... Love you presentation. So authentic! Thanx, thanx, thanx!!!
Truly amazing videos that allow me to live vicariously through your adventures. What I can't figure out is why anyone would give this video a thumbs down...
Boys... Just try to stay away from the Venezuelan coast. Piracy is an all time high. Avoid getting close to any urban centers. Avoid Paria, Margarita Island, Mochima National park, etc. You may touch Blanquilla, Tortuga, Los Roques, Las aves (In East to West order) and continue your way to the ABC islands. Source: Venezuelan-born sailor. Sailed all over the region for 25 years...
***** it is sad. We ended up selling our Beneteau First 35 as we couldn't enjoy the coast anymore. Anyway, I'll be happy to give you some tips on what to do. La Tortuga, Los Roques and Las Aves are some of the most beautiful places in the region. Try to get in touch with the cruising community through the Caribbean Compass newspaper to learn more about what other sailors are doing around you.
My wife and I really enjoy your videos. In a small way we can vicariously experience our dream through you guys. Stay safe and Keep the sailing dreams coming. Ted and Beth Anderson, Oxford, NC.
I ran into your show about 10 days ago I can’t turn it off. I literally have it on all day and all night till I go to sleep. I’m 64 years old and live close to Lewes, Delaware! When I was young and single I lived on the docks in a condo. I went Fishing whenever I wasn’t working either on the rocks or offshore the
i havent heard Gallon Drunk mentioned in ages!...i saw them live in the early 90s ...great show....loving these vids!...saw Riley on Bert's pod and im hooked now!
Another trail blazing video!!! Between you guys, Wicked Salty and Catching Rays have blazed my trail in the Carib for me. So much good information! I can't wait till I set sail south sometime in October 2015. I don't know if I will ever catch you guys but I'll be after ya! Thanks for sharing, keep it up!!!
I wanted to let you two beautiful people know you have inspired me to chase my dreams. I started following la vagabond a few months ago and today I bought a 25 foot helms weekender. She won't be doing any blue water cruising, but she's brought me that much closer to sailing the world. Everyone! Help me name her! Also +1 this comment so Elayna and Riley will see it :D
Hi guys, thanks alot for these videos, i love them. I sailed from Thailand to Sweden as a paying crew 15 years ago on a 50 ft ketch, loved it, still saving for the rest of the world :-) Stay safe, look for the green flash, extra sundowner :-)
I've noticed that you guys rarely use life jackets on the open water. I don't like wearing them either. What would be the protocol if one of you fell overboard? (Riley at the 10:30 mark made me think of this question) Would you stay on the boat and try to steer it over to them, or jump in after the other person? Genuinely curious to know what the protocol is for a two person crew man overboard situation for if I am ever in a similar situation. You guys are awesome. Keep sailing!
KarsonsChannel The last person on boat should never jump after someone while the boat moves. That´s ceartain death for both but maybe a understandable reaction. In general is falling overboard in bad weather conditions or at night very bad, not to say almost certain death. But in cases like that there is the man over board maneuver where you go downwind from the person in the water and then steer directly into the wind so the boat stops where the person is. Another way is of course to pull down the sails, start the motor and do a similliar manuever. If you´re alone, this leads to the biggest problem which is not loosing sight of the person in the water.
0mb3n1 I enjoy their channel and they are a great couple and fun to watch but they take a lot of dangerous risks. Too often going on deck without a lifeline is just an accident waiting to happen with a crew of 2. Also when she went to a beach alone with the dingy...if anything happened he couldn't get off the boat and she was alone on the beach...what if she wasn't alone? You hear so many reports of crime in the islands now that it's just not as much fun sailing anymore. Not really safe to be alone anywhere in the islands especially for a woman. Sad but true!
***** No offense meant, just concern. Younger people take more chances...just a fact. Obviously, you have a lot of faith that you both are capable of handling a MOB. Have fun!
KarsonsChannel Relax - Even the racing boats on 30+ mph wind and 20'+ seas slip and slide all over the place without a harness - and thats in water cold enough to kill you inside of 20 minutes. So this very competent captain of his boat cruising in a nice breeze in warm water without a harness will be fine. Besides it will F up the tan lines.
KarsonsChannel When he went fwd without lifeline I hit pause and jumped down to comments. Certainly would be verboten on my boat. Even if she is super competent with that boat (and I'll assume she is) it would be damned hard to get it back close enough to even locate him at that speed and sea state, let alone close enough to retrieve him.
My god, they were just kids. Well, they still are but looking back on these older episodes I cant help but see the difference. Elayna has turned from a lovely young girl to a beautiful woman. And Riley?! Well, dont even get me started.
"OOOO-WAH DOOOOONT!" --0:32 You guys are just TOO adorable. No wonder you've got over 80,000 subscribers, including me. We're all living your adventure vicariously.
another excellent clip - thanks! for all us desk sailors out here its a tonic. and don't be worrying about that aluminium foil; looks like you'll be swept overboard long before those toxins kick in. and while its been a while since i heard gallon drunk on anywhere , your music choices are top hole. Bit like Trigger Happy TV if you've ever seen that UK series..... God Bless your ship and all who sail on her! Pete
Started watching you two at Christmas. My first tube comment.puts big smile on my face every time you post new vid.Evan asks Santa ie mom for a sailing boat for Christmas. She say no. So I Tried to grow a musttash. No luck thear either.Anyway Start selling t shirts.
Its been cool to watch from the beginning and see you guys grow as sailors with the boat, you look so seasoned and on top of everything so well done guys ! weve got a Grand Soleil 46 that we learn something new every time we take it out, if your ever in NZ waters be awesome to go for a cruise with ya. look forward to the next vid.
your eating good.....like that board on starboard side let you handle heavy winds.....would love to meet you guys in person one of these day...great sailing
Thanks for the friendliness and the sharing of your adventures once again! Needs a bit more aussie music though! Have you heard of Jimmy Barnes!!. Play some Barnsey and I will consider helping out!. You lucky people..
I love how your episodes are becoming more and more like a tv show. Sailing segment, fishing segment, cooking segment, adventure segment with a splash of comedy and errors a long the way. Keep up the good work and keep improving. P.s. will you ever let fans come and join you? My partner and I would absolutely love to sail the islands or Australia.
I know I’m a bit late to watching this but for the love of god put a harness on when walking around the boat in those conditions 🙈. Love the series. Amazing 😊👍
Wondering if that red hulled boat ahead of you at the Dominica anchorage was the Solglimt? Morgan OI 41 with wooden wheelhouse/dodger. My father was in the Caribbean on his boat and I keep thinking I’ll see it in your videos.
Oh man, I cant wait for the video on Dominica. My favorite place! I see you are anchored in Portsmouth. I hope you meet our friends from the almond tree. The crew on Norna say hello :)
Accidental Sailor Girl This makes me happy you watch these videos too. You makes some pretty awesome videos yourself. With the two of you and the SV Delos crew, I seriously can't wait to get my own sail boat. I'm trying to get a job in Florida or near an ocean at least so I can start piecing one together! Wish me luck!
Hello Elayna and Riley! My dad loves sailing and he loves your channel, so that is what brought me here. You have such an amazing well put together channel! I am going to Colombia, South America in March and i was wondering what camera you guys use! I have been planning for a while to do a fun traveling video there, and i love your style of filming! I hope you respond, that would be super helpful. Thanks for sharing your life with us! And also, thanks in advance. :)
My only advise to you Riley. Take that dough you made workin' in the mines, buy a boat and go sailing round the world w/the most beautiful gal on earth (next to me wife, of course) Oh wait you've already done that. Then when you go ashore to party down people will ask you... Are you a pirate? And your response can be. Shiver me timbers no mate, but I've shot alot of seamen. Good on ya! Came for the adventure, stayed for Elaina's singing. Girl you got talent up the yinyang.
Awesome footage as always :) So wish I could join you, even for a small part... PS I am licensed to skipper up to a 60 foot sail boot if that helps :) Thanks for the share Jeff
really strange for me to see you guys at green island... I basically grew up in that place, spent so much of my childhood exploring it. dominica's definitely my favourite caribbean island though
Riley & Elayna, I am new to enjoying your world sailing adventures and made a small contribution. I am curious to know, (my question is leaving out search engines) how do you know what to eat from the sea and how to cook? Thank you for this inspirational sailing adventure around the world I hope to do one day. PS. What foot length is the La Vagbonde, its very sea worthy.
Wow, you guys are lucky with this patron thing. I once hitchhiked from Malaysia to the Netherlands, I arrived in Malaysia with about a hundred euros. Pretty much slept rough the whole way! Wish I'd have had a camera and patrons behind me, maybe then I could have been able to do some of the touristy things whilst passing through! But maybe I wouldn't have been as interesting to watch though : )
Relax people. Aluminum won't kill you or there would be no aluminum cookware or drinking bottles and Reynolds of Reynolds Wrap would have been sued out of existence already. And they don't worry about PFDs, tethers or others things because they live life and enjoy it....which is why they are out cruising and the rest of us are still tied to the dock. But I do agree with the Music Fans - Elayna is pretty awesome and we need more of her music videos.
Can i give a tip? To cook the fish double up with baking paper or better yet using plant leaves. It comes out delicious. You can experience with presoaking either. Its so much better for the environment and so many study's worldwide also suggest that heavy metals are released into the food while heating up aluminum foils. Of course those studies are debunked by those industries. My favorite is using banana leaves that i keep in the freezer until use. Let me know if you tried this. Hope this helps.
Just curious...at the 6:08 mark, is that a RadioShack logo I see on the white plastic bag on the table? They filed for bankruptcy a little while back but I don't know what happened with their foreign operations.
Just a tip to go with your fish guys, some soy sauce and a little calamansi and a small chilli chopped up and just dip your fish into it . You will love it . :-)
Riley looks like the crazy captain on the Jaws movie with that cap on. You know the tough old guy that is the shark hunter, I hope you know what I'm referring to. So funny " we're flying now ma lady, were flying now " 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
your videos are getting better with each episode!! Also I wouldn't sweat the AF thing too much I have not seen any evidence that it causes health issues... If you make it to NYC stop in Josephine and I would love to take you to dinner!!

Every SLV fan needs to see all the great things that made them great....... just way over the top #OfTheEpic. Love this old stuff......
We loved Dominica. Beau Reeve is a distinctive and lively place to stay with many personal touches that made our stay relaxing and enjoyable.
Truly amazing videos that allow me to live vicariously through your adventures.

Just watched 14 episodes in a row . Loving it!
showing the map in the beginning part of the video really helps us get a better idea where you guys are.
Great vid.
Those underwater shots are great, all the fish and coral are so beautiful! Did you use any kind of filter on your lens for that?
I love that you guys are using Beach House songs for some of your videos. I am a Baltimore Native and Beach House is one of my Fave Bands!
i havent heard Gallon Drunk mentioned in ages!...i saw them live in the early 90s ...great show....loving these vids!...saw Riley on Bert's pod and im hooked now!
I'm tripping over how you guys are free diving. How long are you going under? It appears impressive.
Another trail blazing video!!! Between you guys, Wicked Salty and Catching Rays have blazed my trail in the Carib for me. So much good information!

Absolutely love your videos! Living vicariously through you two.

you capture the adventure of sailing. Love to know some info on your boat: what you paid, the costs of keeping it shipshape
As always, your musical background is stellar. I dIdn't know Ed Sheeran had made a cover of this song. I really like Owen Danoff's cover.
Great to see your new video, We worry when we don't hear from you. You have no idea how much I envy you guy's. God speed.
Happy to hear Ed Sheeran at the end :)

Great video, I liked that you guy showed a little more sailing this time...nice..
We love watching you guys. Were getting ready. One day we will see you guys somewhere

Hello Elayna and Riley! My dad loves sailing and he loves your channel, so that is what brought me here. You have such an amazing well put together channel! I am going to Colombia, South America in March and i was wondering what camera you guys use! I have been planning for a while to do a fun traveling video there, and i love your style of filming! I hope you respond, that would be super helpful. Thanks for sharing your life with us! And also, thanks in advance. :)
How does Riley keep a watertight seal on his mask with that mustache?
Thanks, glad I am not the only one with the problem. lol ..another awesome video. :)
cool to see you here Steve :D
This is one of my favorite channels. :)
@@steveo1kinevo Checking your channel out.
My only advise to you Riley. Take that dough you made workin' in the mines, buy a boat and go sailing round the world w/the most beautiful gal on earth (next to me wife, of course) Oh wait you've already done that. Then when you go ashore to party down people will ask you... Are you a pirate? And your response can be. Shiver me timbers no mate, but I've shot alot of seamen. Good on ya!
Came for the adventure, stayed for Elaina's singing. Girl you got talent up the yinyang.
love you guyz..... thanks for making my day happy......
Have ya tried to put a camcorder atop the mast for spotting bricks and safe anchorage ? or even the drone will spot entrances to harbours etc.
Awesome Guys never stop, your an inspiration to all x
im lovin your lovely choice of music..... your wife can sing yes, but your choices!! muah
really appreciate beach house tunes 🥰
this is the way you're supposed to live life
Yet again, Another cool Vid! Thanks!
Awesome footage as always :)
So wish I could join you, even for a small part...
PS I am licensed to skipper up to a 60 foot sail boot if that helps :)
Thanks for the share Jeff
really strange for me to see you guys at green island... I basically grew up in that place, spent so much of my childhood exploring it. dominica's definitely my favourite caribbean island though
Wow you guys just have the perfect life :) Love it! Thumbs up from me here in Ireland! :)
everything about these videos is just great!!! i would do anything to join you both. nothing i love more than sailing...
Wow, as always, you guys make awesome vids! I enjoyed every moment of it. What camera are you guys using?
Riley & Elayna, I am new to enjoying your world sailing adventures and made a small contribution. I am curious to know, (my question is leaving out search engines) how do you know what to eat from the sea and how to cook? Thank you for this inspirational sailing adventure around the world I hope to do one day. PS. What foot length is the La Vagbonde, its very sea worthy.
We are sailing in St Lucia soon. I am wondering what setup you use for trolling behind the boat. What pound line, lures and how you set it up. Thanks
Absolutely love your videos keeps me motivated to keep pushing towards my dream can't wait for the next one
Wow, you guys are lucky with this patron thing. I once hitchhiked from Malaysia to the Netherlands, I arrived in Malaysia with about a hundred euros. Pretty much slept rough the whole way! Wish I'd have had a camera and patrons behind me, maybe then I could have been able to do some of the touristy things whilst passing through! But maybe I wouldn't have been as interesting to watch though : )
How are you enjoying the Beneteau as a cruising boat? Any issues with it?
Love watching your videos. The footage is amazing. What kind of camera are you using?
Relax people. Aluminum won't kill you or there would be no aluminum cookware or drinking bottles and Reynolds of Reynolds Wrap would have been sued out of existence already. And they don't worry about PFDs, tethers or others things because they live life and enjoy it....which is why they are out cruising and the rest of us are still tied to the dock.
But I do agree with the Music Fans - Elayna is pretty awesome and we need more of her music videos.
Sailing La Vagabonde love it
Good work guys please keep the amazing videos coming.
I'm watching all your videos then subscribing! Love them
Bonds should pay you for advertising! Nice one!
Can i give a tip? To cook the fish double up with baking paper or better yet using plant leaves. It comes out delicious. You can experience with presoaking either. Its so much better for the environment and so many study's worldwide also suggest that heavy metals are released into the food while heating up aluminum foils. Of course those studies are debunked by those industries. My favorite is using banana leaves that i keep in the freezer until use. Let me know if you tried this. Hope this helps.
Nice music and everything. Perfect series!
Just curious...at the 6:08 mark, is that a RadioShack logo I see on the white plastic bag on the table? They filed for bankruptcy a little while back but I don't know what happened with their foreign operations.
They're still around even in the US. They just closed/sold a LOT of their stores.
Thanks for sharing great underwater and sailing footage.
Wow so happy to have found your channel! This just might be next after our bus adventure. Looks amazing guys
Just a tip to go with your fish guys, some soy sauce and a little calamansi and a small chilli chopped up and just dip your fish into it . You will love it . :-)
Love your videos... Thanks for the inspiration to start changing my life!
Riley looks like the crazy captain on the Jaws movie with that cap on. You know the tough old guy that is the shark hunter, I hope you know what I'm referring to. So funny " we're flying now ma lady, were flying now " 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damed. I guess I watched em all. Stuck with reruns. Where's the album????
What a loveley episode! And the soundtrack! Amazing! What's that cover of don't think twice?
your videos are getting better with each episode!! Also I wouldn't sweat the AF thing too much I have not seen any evidence that it causes health issues... If you make it to NYC stop in Josephine and I would love to take you to dinner!!
Eating all that fresh, wild seafood is must make you feel so good, not to mention you are sailing around the world!
