Great video guys, had some tears. The hard and busy times will always come no matter how blessed you are in life. You are amazing parents and humans doing incredible things! Hope you get some more down time and time to enjoy your Bali home. 💛
Huge hugs and hope you know what amazing parents you both are❤
Shipping delays and shortages are not from Covid but from draconian government lockdowns.
In all honesty, I quit watching Rubie Rose and Project Atticus as they were into boat builds and repairs for a long time. Somewhat staged as it appeared. It was too much like watching paint dry...
Nice to see you are trying to stabilize the environment for the family. Stay away from the boat build toxins. Not good for health long term.
There's a big difference between constantly complaining, just out of habit/mindset, and having a purposeful talk about things that are challenging and difficult or stressful. Personally, I think the world would be better off with more of this kind of real honesty, especially in regard to content creators/influencers/etc. where, often, things seem much more idyllic than they really are. No need to apologize! It's a good reality check for everyone.
All of this!!! Not all videos are perfect. Not all of life is staged. Nothing in life “goes to plan”, but that’s what makes it interesting! Don’t apologize and enjoy the rollercoaster!
Hang in there…..it’s a journey❤
Totally agree! We’ve been following you two since the beginning, and are amazed at what you’ve accomplished! Your videos are fantastic, and you are always your authentic selves. We can’t imagine having all of the things that you have on your plates! 🙂
Well said ! l enjoy watching videos that depict not just the ups, but also the downs.I am not intrested in watching videos that are overly sugar coated.
Preach, you have said it all 🙌😌
Hi guys, I have watched all your videos from the beginning. I have been on hospice care for years, your channel and other sailers have given me wonderful entertainment, that I don't get from regular tv and movies. I have never added a comment before, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos, they have taken me from my bed and allow me to travel the world with you.
Big hugs to you.
Hello! Sounds like you’re a very strong person in every way. I’m wishing you peace, comfort and healing. God is with you🌻 Big, soft hug to you❤️
Hay mate thinking of you wishing you the best
Honestly I love these "homey" videos where you guys just live day to day and have a chat with us.
I’m glad you love this chill homey style video. You might see a few more soon lol 😅
I think these "weird, messy" videos are some of my favorites. It really is important for everyone watching to realize we're all weird people from the internet. And that's okay. Extra thumbs-up for speaking about Mental Health and self-care! 💜
@@SailingLaVagabonde despite being a "homey style" video, the production quality is always spot on and full of small little details that let me as a professional in the entertainment industry let me get a big smile (like the out of focus fx with the hovering text 🙂 A m a z i n g

Guys don't worry about Lenny.. he is coming out of the toddler phase and going into kindergarten kid age. He has to play up, he is trying to "cut away from the apron strings" and be more independent and find out who he is. He also needs kids to play with.. now you have the house, hopefully he can go regularly to a kindergarten where they have routines and he has other kids to interact with and learn social behaviour with.
We love your channel and will still enjoy following your journey.
Yep, completely normal phase. Very hard to deal with
Totally, it’s the child’s job to separate from us. If they don’t then something is wrong. They are hardwired to begin the process as soon as they are able. This process takes about 18 years give or take a few. How we navigate the process together is what makes a difference. A really good child psychologist once said: are the prisoners that try to escape the jail particularly bad prisoners or is it the nature of prisoners to try to escape? It is the nature of children to begin the separation process even when they are young. They’re not misbehaving when they’re learning to be autonomous and making some mistakes in the process.
You may not feel this way, but THIS is one of your best episodes to date .... from authentic admissions to directly addressing us, updates on the children and the boat, all of it --- so REAL yet with touches of cool cinematic pool shots reminiscent of your filming style. Stay true, be you, we are not going anywhere!
Love the underwater pool clip! Swim lenni swim! Try backstroke and butterfly 🦋
Lenny, try and swim like a frog 🐸 😅
Frogger style!
Someone long ago told me two things when our son was born. 1. It never gets easier but it always gets better. 2. 6 months of equilibrium where your child seems "perfect" and then 6 months of disequilibrium. Peace to you all. You add so much value to 1.82 million subscribers lives.
I've also heard this one: Parenting, is the hardest job you'll ever love🥰
So refreshing hearing you guys be vulnerable and talk about the struggles you’re going through. You two are absolute powerhouses, keep spreading your amazing energy 💙
Thanks guys, keep on roaming!! 🌻
its a views tactic. nothing more.
I honestly love how Riley and Elena always take the time to give us a reality check. It's so easy to look at their lifestyle from pictures and videos and think about how lucky they are, which they are, but often we forget how much hard work and adjusting it takes to live like them.
Riley is objectively lucky, because he is with a 10
@@nickwells1588 theyre both 10s really
You’re certainly NOT complainers you two! It’s called real life and you’re both brave and beautiful for authentically sharing your journey. This will most assuredly help someone else who may be navigating life’s ups and downs. Keep on, keeping on! Sending heaps of love to you both and the boys as well of course 🙏💖
Of course we don’t mind Elayna’s underwater montages and Riley’s fishing sketches, but having you sit and just chat to us about where your heads are currently makes us all family. You reach places no other Sailing channels can touch- because you’re honest and genuine.
Remind Lenny, whenever the four of you are together, it's home. That said, routine can make things easier with setting rules, rewards, and consequences... and eventually behavior. As exciting as it was to see the new boat, I think you guys made the right move. This episode was fantastic. And chicks dig scars. It's always a blessing when little ones walk away from injury that easily!
In my old guy thoughts….”chill.” Lenny is fine. All boys at that age go through phases. Has nothing to do with your parenting or things you’re doing. My only advice, going through life, keep him busy, be involved, and love him. Those 3 things are key. We enjoy the videos and hope you keep going. Yes, it is all hard work. But nothing is earned or gained by being lazy or expecting it to be given to you (entitlement). Love you guys. You’re fun.
Well said. You are 100% correct
Another old guy: this. Rock on.
Very true mate
Well put Mike. We all go through these kind of times in our life..❤
I disagree, growing up moving all the time was horrible.
No, YOU are real- that's why you're so popular. You are a dose of fresh air & so appreciated!
Darwin looks so adorable with his big boy haircut. So glad that he's OK after his accident and that Lenny has decided that having a brother is actually quite fun. Kudos to you both for recognizing what the boys need at this stage of development and why Lenny was acting out. Thank you for always keeping it real. Stay safe and God bless.
I think you both are absolutely amazing. Juggling two young babies, while taking control on a huge boat, traveling across the ocean. I don’t believe anyone in my town can do what you have accomplished. It’s exactly what people want to view on RUclips. Cheers!
Thanks so much for your kind words 🧡🧡🥲
I appreciate the life updates and it makes you both real people! Nothing to apologize for. 😊 I’m interested in the boat build, but I would rather see a video like this than watch another boat build video where nothing is happening or no progress is being made. Take care and keep doing what you’re doing. 😊
And you are a guy, what to speak about us ladies, :>)
I was wondering that if you guys were there working on the boat- do you get a discount for doing work or is it less so in that you will take longer than the professionals making your efforts though fun knowing you helped win this particular room? Your children will go through phases as you both had. the timing may be altered by the environment you are raising your kids as you were not raised on a boat. Is Lenny toilet trained? (its often a pre-requisite for starting school.) This topic of perfect life while on film, I recall this mentioned on am earlier video. It's not expected that you have a Perfect life. Though there are many folks who have witnessed your sailing, and are doing so themselves. I think a poll is needed to see how life changing your videos are. Enjoying your life journey- but i really look forwards to you sailing again. And maybe workout videos as Riley's arms are looking beefy, Elana your continuing to run I suspect in that your abdominals still look ripped/defined. Has your diets changed as you now have greater variety of foods available, and you are not limited by whats caught fishing.
I've been on here before Lenny was even a twinkle in the eye and it's so refreshing to see the candid and open dialogue you have with not only yourselves, but with us, the audience. This is what makes La Vagabond such an intriguing and entertaining broadcast to those who either struggle to travel or have other responsibilities. You really do so much adventure, even more so that you have children now it seems. You take up the challenge to discover new places you haven't felt and see different cultures.
Epic.
You are ambassadors of the sea!
Loved the swimming scene! And how you showed Lenny helping his brother with the milk carton, and his concern when Darwin was hurt. He will be his friend for life. I taught four year olds for 34 yrs. And parenting classes too. We called it the “ out of bounds” age but totally engaging and dear. As you know. Hope Darwin is healing ok and I wish you all well. Be nice. I’m 75! Lol
As a RUclipsr myself I’ve come to understand that being real is important. So, letting us see these difficult facets of your life is just a blessing. Showing viewers the reality of the challenges you’re facing reminds us that you’re normal people like us (or abnormal people like us. Lol). You’re also demonstrating the act of perseverance, which is a relevant choice we all need to make. Most importantly, you’ve given priority to the well being of your boys. Thank you for taking us on the journey. Life is worth the grind. 😊❤
Love that you prioritized your kids needs❤ looking forward to continue to follow along :)
Not all your followers are young and impressionable some of us are 74 and building ourself up after not eating good and dropping our supplements last year. I’m on the mend, never ate so much good food, done with that “ o I have loose weight “ white and red cells and platelets are way more important. Love you guys we are all going to be OK♥️👍❤️
Good medicine Retired Oldguy - go adventure!
I am 70, old lady here-:>)

I appreciate your taking time to acknowledge us viewers. It means a lot. I want to say that you two have grown so much and have become very enjoyable yourselves. Between parenthood and opening your lives to others’ cultures, you are becoming wise and caring people. It makes me feel a bit sentimental saying this because there was a time several years ago when I stopped watching for awhile. It was pre-children, and you were younger and less aware of the value of “others”. Looking at you both now gives me joy. Thank you for sharing your honest love for what you’re doing out there, your love and enjoyment of life, your respect for people everywhere, and determination to be REAL-all the time. It could have gone differently. You chose the high road. Love your children, and the way you love them. I enjoy how unafraid you are to be yourselves in front if so many. Cheers to you from middle America.
I've never commented here before but followed your journey for years and want to tell you...
Anyone who is a decent human absolutely has NO ISSUE with you guys "complaining"... it broke my heart see you apologise.
You're real and it's so refreshing. You're never "complaining" you're just being honest and it's what we all need more of 🙂 You're running a million miles an hour so it's ok to have moments of blah!
Bless you and the fam for this season of rest
You two are on the cutting edge of a whole new entertainment experience. You're creating it as you go, and it will be what you make it. And I appreciate that you keep it real. Traditional entertainment involves actors telling a story and advertisers selling it. Some entertainers get confused about their own lives and the life they chose to expose to the masses. But most of them still get to go home at the end of the day. RUclips is a whole different animal. You're telling your real-life story and we are paying for access to it. If you had told me 20 years ago that this would be a thing, I would have said, "you're mad". And yet here you are, making it real. I hope everyone watching realizes that you have a life and it is not any of our business what goes on when the camera is turned off. What you choose to share is up to you, and this involves a whole new way of defining boundaries, identity, and personal integrity. Please take good care of yourselves. Put the camera down and be who you are, be with your kids, and be in your life...throw us a bone once in a while, and then get on with your life. And thank you for the honor of letting us have a little glimpse into what it takes to be an adventurer. It's compelling and inspiring. But it's ok to close the curtains at the end of the day. Peace out.
So well said!!!!!
You can have a blessed and lovely life while still having hardships and stress! Don’t apologize for it! Family first! You guys are awesome! ❤
I love that you share so much about your lives. Thank you. Parents caring for children is a great joy to me.
Good talk! ... Happy to hear a 'heart to heart' from both of you. ... So glad you now have a home base. ... We do love you all.
Making video's is your business and very important to the survival of your family and raising children who need some sense of home/permanence is your most important responsibility. It's all wickedly difficult and overwhelming. Just hang in there!!! Make your children your number 1 priority and you will get through everything else. I have been watching your material for several years. You have what it takes to make and I know you will. Your not complaining, your sharing! Big difference.
Riley and Elayna will figure it out. Millions of "normal people" waste their life at work, exhausted too much to give love to their children. Knight-Riley, Princess-Elayna, Lenny, Darwin live together and experience life adventures we can only imagine. Loving your super interesting videos!!!😘😘😘😘😘😘
It’s really amazing, and a tribute to you both, that you continually find new ways to make your channel entertaining and fresh. No wonder you’re #1! Love it!
Amazing video. So easy to fall into the trap of feeling like your failing trying to build so much for your family. Inspirational to hear you guys talk about your own struggles and how you are working through them.
Really appreciate your integrity again on this. As a parent and a teacher I see the impact of comparing our own lives against unreal and unreasonable expectation. You recognise your privilege but are honest about the stressed and challenges. Hard to get right and a risk for you. You nailed it.
A reality show that gets real. I like it! Always a fun watch. You continue to amaze me as young parents with all you do. Your boys are amazingly resilient. Bravo!
I don't hear complaints, just authenticity. You guys definitely don’t shy away from a challenge. It's not always fun, and certain moments can feel unbearable. Hence, these disclosure videos. I like them.
So glad you like us too. Been watching for us, soni feel like your family and I don’t see any awkwardness, just real conversations and laughs. That’s what I love most. You guys always make me smile. Lenny will adjust and good on you for being such great parents to recognize the kids needs too. All our love as always.
I never get tired of your banter. Your precious boys are heart stealers💙💙So grateful you are taking some time to be present with them, and just be a family 🥰Looking forward to following your next adventures👍🏻HUGS
I don't hear any complaints in this. I hear two people who have created their own destiny in a very intentional way, sharing the struggles that can occur when a person/people do this. Those of us also walking this path of creation and self determination appreciate your story. :)
We know your life isn't perfect. We just enjoy watching your adventures, your zest for life and your lovely little family. Don't worry, be happy. Your son is definitely going through a phase, just address it "gently" and then move on to the next phase. (Lol, its just the life of parents and children.)
Love your honesty and realness. It's what keeps me tuned in. I feel like part of the family...Thank you😊
Thank you sharing so much of your lives with us. The good, the bad, the sad, and most importantly the truth. Love watching the four of you are a real inspiration. Thanks again
Love all your content Elayna and Riley today and throughout the many years. Your videos have evolved and matured with all your awkwardness but this only shows how human you are. Thanks always, love you.
We'll always be here for you guys. Watching your story unfold is enjoyable and humbling which is why we all come back week after week.
Thank your for showing these times too...many people forget that life is not about being just happy...life is about life with all its struggles.
You two are doing a great job of navigating trough life's ups and downs.
Keep it that way and all the best for the family
♥
You two are doing a wonderful job of parenting. You have always placed your boys first and that is an amazing thing! Just remember that kids all go through stages and Lenny is the age of my oldest granddaughter and she has those moments too at times. It's natural. Also the boys were very used to having you both with them 24/7 when you're on your boat. Best wishes for the finish of your boat and you being able to get on the water again.
3:40, you have to understand things from Lenny's perspective, he has no continuity in his life, I am the son of a former soldier and all my life we travelled from country to country never really connecting with anything, Lenny also feed's off your emotions and if you guy's are not balanced he will feel it, I mean your going through quite the transition right now and Lenny picks up on everything including your worries and fears, so be careful of what you say around him as you may not realise it but he is constantly listening.
I'm gonna chime in with my two cents.You're doing great. Remember this boat build is a temporary thing. this too shall pass. You'll be moved in before you know it and it will be home. In the meantime, I would have a good heart to heart with Lenny and reassure him verbally that no matter where we go or stay or travel to, that you will always be there to love him, protect him and keep him safe. It's easy to say "he knows that" but verbally confirming that is huge. Also, as others have said, he is exactly at the right age to start testing you and figuring out who he his, what this world is all about. He is loved (Darwin too, but his needs are different at this age), and we can see that in these videos. You're very busy and this too shall pass. Don't forget to take time for yourselves too. You cannot give when your cup is empty. I've learned over the years and I currently have a great relationship with my 3 kids( almost 24, 22, 20) and they tell me the things that scared them growing up. Things I could have done better, and also where I excelled. Youre doing a great job. Don't be hard on yourselves and there is nothing wrong with complaining! we need to verbalize shit sometimes to sort it in our brains.Keep just being you. Love you guys. sorry for writing a book. :P
This is so true. The feels are there, the words are what we all need. Reassurance that it's all good. I love watching the boys grow. My two- who looked so much like Lenny and Darwin- are grown now and have their own. My Darwin fell on aa lava same age, same cut, he still has the scar. Stay present. Your doing fine.
This is very excellent advice. Lenny has had a lot to deal with at 4 yrs. Old and he needs some security and reassurance
Thanks for your book 🙌
Elayna xx
@Sailing La Vagabonde book? Ok 👍 I'll do it. (Yes I know I'm kind of weird (internet) stalking you two the past 8 yrs... what! Holy cow is right. Tell your man, from me, he needs to work out! Like the song, "I work out!"
@@unclemichel6328 huh?
Your honesty is appreciated. I often times remind myself that without the highs and the lows life would be very dull. You cannot appreciate one without the other.
Way to go! You two(four) are the most down to earth lovely people. Best of luck!
Watching Lenny swim underwater was so affecting. He is amazing. Oh, also...just get through this bit. The videos continue to be compelling - you have to understand that we like the characters in this drama and are always on their side. Nomadic life has its issues - but so does being stuck in a school full of bullies, just for example. Lenny has you and his brother and when you go back to sea, he will have that and the big sky, not to be despised. Perhaps he needs peers to socialize with, but the lessons he learns from random mates will not necessarily be ones you would wish. Maybe he could pick up some Balinese.
What I love about the both of you is how real and honest you always are. I have only been watching you guys for a year or so and during that time you have truly inspired and motivated to me to get it together and shoot for the moon in creating the life of my dreams. Life gets stressful for everyone at times, especially with lots of the changes that take place in getting us from point A to B, just breathe and on the days it gets overwhelming just trust that in the end everything always works out the way it is supposed to. Lenny is a great kid, he is going to be just fine...he has 2 amazing parents who are willing to sacrifice their own needs for his and that says a million times how amazing you both are!!! Love you guys!!!
Been watching you guy’s 7 years, and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you guy’s grow in to a family.❤ thank you for keeping it as real as you can. God bless y’all…big fan SV Wunjo!
I love how honest and transparent you both are about the realities of living as sailors/nomads. Sorry to hear that Lenny is struggling with the moves. I love what you have created for your channel and for your family. So exciting to see you grow and be successful as RUclipsrs. Warm hugs
Thanks for being you two.Life is incredibly difficult for me and my family currently.My daughter,43,homeless with her teenage son,is seriously ill,(cancers).Watching her suffering,being present day by day in an old motel room,hearing her cry in her sleep from pain,trying to support her son, without support myself is a living hell.You two take me away, just for a little while from my reality to another and for that, I am eternally grateful.I see places I will never see, experience adventures that will never happen, hear stories,smile at those beautiful boys of yours and be present in a different moment than what I have to be.Blessings and thanks from another Reilly's mum, Sapphire Coast, Australia.
My heart goes out to you and your family. One day at a time sounds patronizing, but really, life is just one day at a time.
So sorry to hear about the news of your daughter . I hope you have support network you can talk with at these very hard trying times !
@@the_mum Thank you, that's so true...one day at a time is how we are getting through, and gratitude for small miracles.
@@sarahmc8309 Thank you, I have a phone counselling service I try to use weekly. But we dont have much support, trying to get more.There's no text book for most of life's issues. Divine intervention needed.
I'm so sorry for your suffering and pain. Your poor daughter! Also, I feel bad for your homeless grandson who has to endure watching his mother be sick. I pray that things get better for your daughter and that this horrible time for you all will soon be over. May all of you come through this on the other side with the wisdom, compassion, strength, love and light in your hearts to carry on to better times. Meanwhile, I agree that watching Riley and Elayna and their beautiful children gives some of us a welcome break from our worries...may they always be so blessed. Marie from Northern California, USA.
💙🙏💙
Your life does seem hard, in the sense that you both put an incredible amount of work into it. That’s why we watch you guys :) cause we get to see the fruits of your labor!
Cannot express enough how much admiration I feel for you both - for the life you are living - for the family you are building TOGETHER filled with love and above all honesty. You are loved by so many of us. ❤
so cool you guys are so genuine ! I think that s the secret to it - down to earth, dead nice and genuine family you are! Always a pleasure to watch your vlogs ... stay safe and healthy. x
youve inspired so many people, we love ya and we'll support you all the way. Keep being you, thats what we are really here for :)
The video the internet needs more of. Honestly, keep doing what you are doing! You're both genuine great people.
I think this is one of the most important videos you have done, just by showing us that it's not all 'glitz and glamour.' Thank you for doing that. Your boys will be fine, simply because you love them. And what a perfect sponsor for the video, too. Well done, both of you, and keep up the good work.
Love you guys for being real over the years it really mellos out the mood of take what's given and to appreciate the part you decide to share with us the viewers, cheers again from Canada and wishing you and the kids the best 🌍⛵️
I rarely comment though I follow your adventures closely. You are my vicarious sailing fix since I moved away from the ocean to the mountains! This is the kind of video I like best, really. Honest, the real stuff. The polished vids are great, too, I just love hearing about what it's really like for you guys. Warmest wishes from cold and stormy California!
Both my kids went through this phase. Lots of grumpies, talking back. Hang in there guys! It’s hard when kids don’t have stability. Now that you’re in Bali after a while he’ll get back into feeling better I’m sure ❤
So true
You two so in love even through all that stress, now thats real strong love and I'm so happy to have shared the emotional journey you are on. wow! what a runon sentence
16:34 to the end of the video is one of the main reasons I love watching you two. You connect with people by being vulnerable and we all love that. Thank you!
Both of you are absolute legends and let me just go and ride along do wonderful things but a real shout out tdo both of your parents :) grandparents and all the people who raised you in witty love and love of learning in your hearts And mines again Elena and Captain you both please send much love to your parents. I've lived a bit vicariously through you and my son has as well be blessed keep it up :)
For me it’s one is the reasons I enjoy your videos so much. The realness resonates. Growing up overseas, living in Sulawesi and Bali, and Canada, travelling and moving as expats, I can understand the kids not feeling a sense of place. It’s a wonderful rich upbringing with few but some drawbacks. I remember my mom telling me when we were enrolled in school for 6 months “Jack, don’t tell anyone we are leaving or no one will want to be your friend.” Even now when people ask “where is home for you”, I have a hard time answering.
Anyway, enjoy your show! Keep up the great content! Bali is wonderful - you’ll love it!!
It’s not complaining, it’s talking out the challenges and struggles. We all have them, and you talking about this stuff, endears us to you. Much love to you both 💋
I love the awkwardness. I love it when you both laugh and can laugh at life and how it come at you. Y'all are such a blessing to me and my little boy. ❤😘👋
Thanks! I hope Baby Darwin is feeling better, it cracked my heart to see him on IG story. He looked so listless.
Cheers fellas, Glad to support you guys.
Hope Lenny will like your new boat home. I'm sure he will.
I just love how real you are! That is what life is all about! Sharing you good, the bad and the ugly! Keep it coming! Seek love, seek truth and be a light wherever you are ❤🙏
There is no more beautiful and engaging story to follow than one of transparency & honesty. Just keep being real, guys. You're awesome.
Thanks Rob, we will! 😊
It is shocking how much Darwin has grown ....hadnt really being paying attention with all the other changes and locations but this video shows how hes not an infant any longer.....its great....and probably good for Lenny as he has someone to run around with
I've been watching the channel for a long time now. I love that you keep it real. You're obviously very successful and I can't believe the amount you have done and are still accomplishing while raising two little boys, but at all times, you've been the same down to earth, lovable couple that you were when you started out. Well done guys.
Love that you prioritized Lenny's needs over a boat build, and that you're both speak straight from the heart, real and raw. That's the reason for your online success. Your lives are FULL, busy and you're constantly on the go - you're definitely not complainers - simply explaining the reality as it is. Wishing you both continued success, blessings and joy. 💜
The “interruptions” are fun to see~it authenticates your videos. I absolutely love watching your Lenny and Darwin. They are delightful. Life is perfectly imperfect. That keeps things interesting.
Ok… loved this video. Not only and update to most of what’s going on, but just seeing you guys work out together how to be there for your kids and your own mental health. Also, it’s comes across that your two are really partnering and staying in sync and in love as a couple. Definitely make time for your togetherness. Thanks for another really watchable video. It doesn’t always have to be new places and adventures. We tune in for you guys.
🙏🙏🙏 thanks Tom
Thank you for being so open and honest. You are a great family and I always enjoy watching your videos. Wish you all the best - enjoy your new home for a year. Your next boat will be gorgeous.
Okay here is the thing about better help that people don’t know better help just has random people and these “therapists” literally talks about them self or is doing other things like cooking bacon or grocery shopping. Love this channel just warning people.
Of the many talents your family possesses, being able to walk the fine line of producing content that is sensational and seductive whilst remaining authentic and real is one of my favorite aspects of your channel. It’s what keeps me coming back to watch year after year. Appreciate your thoughtfulness and the extra effort you put into everything you do. It seems like the life you have truly couldn’t have happened to better people.
Thank you for your content. Cheers me up every time.
I love how open you both are.... to us that follow you all these years. You are amazing! You're never been doing anything wrong or anything that we dislike. You are both real and not weird at all!! Love you two and your beautiful boys, and you are doing an amazing job at raising them with your traveling lifestyle that you share with all of us!!!
It’s family first always, and kids are THE most important job you guys have, always focus your lives on the boys and wishing you both the best for 2023
You said that you don’t have enough to film for content because of the boat taking time to build but I would just like to see your day-to-day stuff. What’s for dinner? What did the boys do today? Did they swim? Go for a walk? What does bedtime look like? Even if it’s just footage and you voiceover it would be fun to see. Take it easy. Don’t stress. You got this! 👍🏼
I think we’re just as lucky to have YOU guys here 🖤 so inspiring, and incredibly genuine. Cheers guys xx
I love y'all sm i've been watching you for 6 years and It's crazy how much your lives have evolved. So proud of you for everything you have accomplished - keep striving for you and to be your best versions - So inspiring !!!
We love you guys because you are so transparent- it’s so refreshing. Thank you!
Life is a balance of the cool and the crap...I think you keep a good balance. Roll with it, and don't stress about the balance. You get it right!
You shouldn't feel guilty about any of it, those boys are getting so much love from you it's plain to see that you're absolutely doing the right thing.
I don't know exactly what it is that makes me watch your videos as I've absolutely no interest in sailing the ocean but please don't stop making them and please don't stop being you.
I don't think that people would think that your lives are easy - but it is exciting and real for sure. Your energy is inspiring . I really love the videos and look forward to them. Lots of love from South Africa.
Great video - love your sense of humor and how playful you both are with each other. Thank you for staying real with us, no matter what the circumstance ❤
Welp....ya did it again. You made me cry. For the umpteenth time over the years. Once again, somehow I felt like you were taking directly to my heart through your camera. I'm just so happy for you guys and your success. I'm as proud of you as if you were my own. Just hang in there...2023 is going to be a wonderful year and I can't wait to see what you make of it. Love to you all.
We made you cry?? Aww wow. I hope they were happy tears. Thanks so much for being here 😊😊 sending the love back at you!

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” You guys have made your own luck with perseverance, consistency and a lot of hard work. You deserve it 💕
Thank you guys for a real video ☺️ it's true life is usually not all sunshine and rainbows but we face challenges no matter our situation. This makes your videos much more relatable. Love you guys very much!!
I am so friggin proud of you two. Thank you for sharing your lives with us and keeping folks inspired :)
I thought I wouldn't be as interested in this phase, but just the opposite! I'm enjoying the updates, and I'm so excited for everything that's happening for you and the boys. Speaking of the boys, I can't believe how much they've grown since you left the boat! It's like they skipped being toddlers!! They are so grown up and as precious as ever!
I know this will probably get lost in the sea of comments but that's life. I really enjoy the community that has built up around SLV. Feels like one huge family. Stay true to yourselves and keep inspiring people around the world to chase their dreams🤙❤
Wow! Your boys are getting big! They are so cute. Sounds like you have a lot going on and problems to deal with. That’s life. The best part is you have each other to face every new day, together You two are amazing, I think. I wish you happiness, good health, and good fortune in the future.
