For all dating enquires (for Forrest) hit up his Instagram 😉😉❤️🔥 instagram.com/forrest_ladkin?igsh=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg==
Hahaha. Elayna has moved on. The audience has moved. Riley: "A tremendous lover."
On it 😎
'"Tremendous lover" as an afterthought... sounds like something out of the Roy and HG playbook :)
Damn, thought you were putting yourself out there Riles.😂😂😂😂
This is hilarious!!!
When Riley gets technical about the power etc I have no understanding so greatly appreciate when he tells us if it's good or bad 😂
Hahaha I can understand that! If I wasn’t horribly sick and looking after the kids I would have been there for the majority of the jobs, to help explain 😄 hang in there! lol
- Elayna
Elayna, ask Riley about the ac40.
As for you, when are you having a girl?
@@the-naked-sailor If your parents didn't raise you right, I'll tell you now. That is a rude question.
How is Reihlee so ripped?
@@silentlightning2013 I'm pretty sure it's Riley, and, the answer to your question is, one word: OnlyFans
Based on a brw report, they earn 4.2 million US dollars per year.....on youtube.
OnlyFans creators earn 193.76 times more using the same content.
That Grub Screw sequence...Priceless.
Hysterical ... 😁😆😂
Lmao😂
It had me right until they said "grub screw enthusiasts".
Man the boys are so different and yet SO funny in their own ways. Very fun to watch them growing up. Glad the voyage ended safely despite all of the various issues!
You’re spot on. They’re so different from one another. Kids are such a fun experiment 🥲
One will be Gay
@@janetterasmussen3937okay weird comment! They are kids also who cares
drinking celery juice with nothing else in it he won't but yea agreed, they need to be groomed with a nice short haircut and masculine behaviours and they need little girlfriends they can hold their hands, but most of all, they need Jesus Christ and to be baptised, stop hanging around the Asians just giving them bad ideas. @@janetterasmussen3937
I wonder how they will feel about their entire childhood being documented on socials once they hit, say, mid 20’s. I would be pissed.
The scared look on the older boys face when he was told the boat was breaking, “for content”. Should be ashamed of themselves…
i love how you still keep it real even when it's not smooth sailing! (literally)
Hi RUclips
Free speech hater
It IS a blessing to have HELPMATES that love doing the same thing!
It's so great to see you both in such good spirits while dealing with the stress of having new boat problems.
I have really enjoyed watching y'all live, laugh, grow, become parents, and of course sail. The new boat looks so sweet, and I'm excited to see where it takes you in the future. Thank you so much for sharing.
Boats are so common now that it’s easy to forget how crazy it is to have these floating things on water that are supposed to withstand crazy storms, go fast but still be liveable… it’s not a surprise when everything goes wrong on the first sail! I’m actually happy for you guys that it went wrong directly so you can work on fixing everything now and fully enjoy your boat asap :) the trimaran is a beauty, I can’t wait to see it for many more sails!
Keep on with the sailing/rigging talks, love that part of your channel. I'm a non sailor but I enjoy appreciating the intricacies and skill involved to run these massive works of art.
You guys seem so happy, even with all the glitches and needed repairs. Meditation seems to be a true blessing.
Also, watching the boys grow throughout all these amazing experiences helps me appreciate how precious time is.
Thanks again for including us in your lives 🧡
So happy y'all made it safely to the marina. Hate to hear that everyone is sick, especially with all of the issues you guys have to get figured out. I can't wait until it's smooth sailing for you! Looking forward to watching all the places you will go!! Your boys are SO adorable and well behaved. You 2 are amazing parents!! ❤ sending love your way that everything gets worked out!!
It's great to see you guys sail safely into that marina and get some recovery time to repair and recuperate, surrounded by lovely people and good amenities.
It looks like your learning curve with your new boat is extremely steep. Kudos to you guys for achieving so much, so quickly in challenging conditions.
Good luck to you and your crew on the next leg of your journey north 🙏🏻
Hang in there! Hope everything gets fixed. And hope the boys feel better. 🥺💗
Love that Riley is so honest about mistakes. It makes me feel more normal because I think we all can make mistakes, also serious ones. Luckly not everything has consequences. Love you guys!
Really encouraging to hear that the manufacturer and vendors mentioned so far have stood behind their products making good on resolving issues , making replacements or repairs . It's that kind of customer service that make the product .
Is it the weather, or the new boat? I can hear the water slamming against the hull pretty loudly, and i don't recall that on the old boat. I'm not a sailor, so i'm not sure if they all make that noise, or if that's just the sound of the new boat? New homes make new noises, and it's always an adjustment.
So glad to see you found a quiet place to rest and recover after that grueling experience. What a lovely place with lovely people. The boys are growing up so quickly and once you got docked I could see how much they were enjoying their new home. Hope some of the tightening things up will make your vessel less banging and whipping as you're underway.
Can't wait until the next part of your adventure is posted. Until then, May you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and may the New Year bring you all health, happiness, beauty and joy. God bless.
Thanks Coleen! Merry Christmas and new year to you too 🎉❤
- Elayna, and the rest of the crew
Great to see the real details vs just the happy result of a fully sorted new boat. So much to learn and to organize. I have a large very organized home on land. But I can't imagine what it is like to have to organize everything required to deal with ocean passages, safety and maintenance of your racing boat / home. Good to do this when you are young.
You’re right, it’s been a lot! Another reason why we need to stay fit and healthy.. just to have energy for it all 🤪We’re getting there..
- Elayna
I appreciate your relationship and I appreciate your authenticity for who you guys are. You should be proud of what you guys have accomplished and I'm still so amazed!
So much to learn, however it has to worth it. So glad you all are safe❤❤❤❤
Massive fan and so excited for your new journey!
My gosh the interior is gorgeous. Once things get smoothed out it will be amazing how quickly you'll be flying over seabed wherever you are going. What the hell Captain, you're frikken buff! Proves ya don't need no expensive gym membership.
You guys are awesome and handled them like a champ. Having to learn all the new stuffs and parenting at the same time is no easy task. May your upcoming voyage be a smoother one. Happy New Year to you!
Wow, what an adventure! It's amazing to see how you guys handle all these challenges and fix everything that needs attention. Riley, thank you for explaining things in a way that even non-technical viewers like me can understand. The place where you found to rest and recover looks absolutely beautiful, and the people seem so welcoming. I hope the repairs will make your vessel more comfortable and enjoyable to sail. Looking forward to the next part of your adventure! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all. May your journey be filled with health, happiness, beauty, and joy. 😊⛵️
A wonderful start to getting all the kinks out of new set up. The grub screw issues…totally hilarious and so serious all at once. How can one tiny little thing cause so much damage. Loving all the settling into your new home ❤❤
Love the content! So happy to see you guys getting back to your lives! Enjoy watching very much ❤ waiting for the next video!!!!!
Very cool of you all to show all the hardships with your new vessal. Its definitely one of the reasons i love watching your family. One day i would love to bring mine on board a boat and live the lifesytle for a month or 2. I would definitely recommend having a "boat map" with safety gear and such slowly being drawn up as you organize your boat for new peeps that come to visit
I can't wait to see the boat sailing again. It's been incredible watching you sail across the world. Love the colors of the new LaVagabonde. I hope sometime we can see the progress of it becoming a home.
You guys are handling all of this like total champs. You will get through these growing pains. Another awesome video, thank you!
I agree. Much better than me. I’d definitely need hours of meditation a day. 😂
@amberbiggs I’m sorry I looked at your RUclips profile, well I mean I’m not really sorry about that (I’m kind of glad I did, tbh).. I watched one vlog and knew right away you were smart, knew how to project your feelings, and quite honestly (and this was the actual reason I visited your channel, that and the little tiny photo on Riley and Elayna’s channel, I read that first), anyway, I decided to subscribe to your channel (it looks like it has A LOT of really good content). I’ll be back to watch more of your vlogs. The one I watched was short and I learned from it. I recommend your channel for sure. Anyway, please accept my apology for being maybe a bit shallow at first?? I think my first impression was correct, you are awesome in every way I could see. ❤👍🏻🎈🌎
Oh yeah, have a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
@@daha7864 Hey thank you :) That is so nice of you to say. I really appreciate your kind words 🥰
Merry Christmas to Darwin, lenny, riley and elina and new year's. Riley I am getting jealous of how good a shape you look like your in. Those 2 boys are more adorable each video.
As someone that is following since your 2nd video I come to enjoy your recent videos again. It feels much more natural again. I really enjoy you techtalking and just your normal interactions with another. Big fan! See you out there :)
I truly love watching you guys ❤ it’s so therapeutic to see yall’s videos and what you do during your everyday life!
I remember watching your early videos appreciating the live aboard life from afar, all parts good and bad never thinking it would actually be for me. But here I am now a year into it and I’ve never felt more like myself. The slow burn was worth it and I have you and everyone else sharing their experiences on the tube to thank. All the best to your fam 💙
for me, your videos are better than any other mental support. You are a very strong, loveable bunch
Been watching from the beginning. You guys are some of the best “television” we watch. Just outstanding stories, filming and editing.
Your editing is getting better and better love watching you guys do life onboard
I am a proud member of the grub screw society myself 😂 your videos always come at the perfect time! Personally dealing with a work injury that has me stuck in bed with no end in sight so your videos always provide a nice escape for me. I don’t know how you guys did it with the kids and everything going on. Hope everything gets put to rights soon so you can all relax as a family on your beautiful boat
I am very sorry for your situation. I've PRAYED for you for GODS HEALING TOUCH STRENGTH WISDOM COMFORT LOVE.
I live in chronic pain and HE helps me daily.🛐🙏🎁❤️🌹🥀☀️✨☕☕☕
GOD BLESS YOU. BLESSED CHRISTMAS
I’m so sorry to hear about your injury 😢 jeez. Sending love from La Vagabonde! We’re so happy we can be of some entertainment for you during this time. ❤️❤️
- Elayna
Get well soon. I had two years of only being able to do the most basic of things. Note the past tense. Nth Qlder.
Good fun!
Welcome to the thrilling and often scary world of fast trimaran sailing.
Get used to the noise, the pitching, the breaking parts and always wet conditions from the spray hitting the weather hull and blasting over the boat.
You will learn quickly to reef the main early and deep!
Sounds miserable especially for a family.
I was always super sceptical about meditation but went through a rough patch with work, two young kids putting stress on my marital relationship. Saw your comments, tried it and it really helps (along with some talks with a psychologist) so thanks for all your content but also endorsing a tool that does make a difference. Cheers, Q
Wow, what a ton of stuff, and in the middle of it, you produced an edit that made it all comprehensible and fun to watch! Legends.
Hope you have a sailing good Christmas and May the New Year bring you Blue Skies Gentle Winds and Fabulous places to visit..stay warm an safe❤️🙏 and a 😘 for the kids💃
You guys have inspired me for years! Im 20 and about to buy my first sailboat to live in. Big hugs from Norway!
You make your content so accessible to all types of viewers- sailors and not! I will always support you guys!!!
Honestly what an amazing episode beautifully edited story telling with humour and emotion. Thank you 🙏🏼
So excited to see adventures on the new boat.
Reminds me of the first few months/year after I moved into my van build. So much to figure out. Any progress is good! Speaking of progress did Riley hit Australian second puberty? Lookin strong, nice work. There will be a calm moment in a while where you will realize you are past all the growing pains and just living free again.
Nice video! I'm glad to see you back out there on the new boat. The interior is gorgeous!
Merry Christmas guys! Thanks for sharing another year of your adventures! 😊
Elayna is so brave. A lot happening for these two and the kids including many rogue waves but the show goes on!
The definite impression that I’m starting to get is that this is not gonna be a boat. You can single hand sale. Clearly you’re gonna always need to have some sort of crew on board. How are you and Elena going to manage your time so that you still get time just the two of you, and just as a family, with the constant amount of people that will probably be needed on the boat? ❤
I find that so many content videos only show the good times, fearing it will affect the algorithm. Thank you so much for showing us the good and bad and how you handle it. Also thank you for showing how you stay calm no matter how bad things get. Keep posting!
Glad you're so young! What a lot to deal with! We're cheering you on! Stay safe and Merry Christmas!
In the course of 67 years of sailing, I have learned, and relearned, that it is simplicity that best breeds pleasure and safety at sea. So I wonder if this boat may be too large with too many complicated systems to be easily manageable in challenging circumstances by one person?
I’ve read similar comments continually since La Vagabonds maiden voyage. I had to personally look within as to why this feeling is always coming up in regards to their new Rapido and I’m positive now that it’s all simply coming back to jealousy.😊
Helluva shakedown. Glad you all made it in one piece!
Very excited to watch the next chapter of your adventure. Rapido seems like a great company and partner for your build. Happy Holidays!
I am SO looking forward to the boat tour... from a design perspective you guys seem to have totally crushed it! Beautiful - can hardly wait to see the details. Great job - you should be so proud! (of course of many things, not just the styling and design...)
I would not want an overhauled engine I would want a new engine. There is a big difference.
Agreed! Someone f*cked up somewhere and the brand new engine got water up the exhaust, I would be pushijg hard for a full replacement engine. Worst case if the oem is not going to swing it, they should offer a minimum of 5yrs full warranty if they have to keep the rebuilt one.
It is easy to get the water out of the engine. Sounds like the anti siphon valve on the exhaust failed. I had this happen on a Monohaul crossing and we were able to suck all the water out and restart the engine without bending a piston. No problems following it. One can take a diesel that has been submerged in sea water and get it running again.
@@jaegeratsea yes anything can be fixed but if it’s brand new why take the chance that you “might” not have any issues
Orange and black racing boat with dark interior that doesn’t film well and not enough space and comfort for the family :( you can tell Riley has more fun when things get rough and dangerous but everyone else doesn’t
Happy Holidays, La Vagabonde family! Safe travels ❤
Amazing!!! Hope you are all feeling better.
Seams a bit harsh now but once these teething problems are fixed the boat and you may have an easier time as this testing has been quite tough for a new boat and if it was going to fail hopefully it has and its fixed soon
❤ GR8 VID ❤ LOVED IT ❤ That hull looks like its doing a million miles an hr even when its just parked at the dock ❤
I enjoyed this vid much more than the last one! That was intense to say the least! But truly; thcx to both of you for showing the easier days and the challenges as well! Buying and then sailing on a new boat has got so many challenges and you had some additional issues on top that were all so full on. Well done to you two, the boys and the crew for handling it all and overcoming the obstacles as well as you all did! Impressive to say the least and your always learning with boats cause the conditions are always changing so really looking forward to your future series as well. Without a doubt this is one of the best you tube vids that anyone has done! Credits to you two! I mean that sincerely! Blessings, phil
My wife started watching your channel as she was hooked. Because I have been following you off and on for the past several months, I set her up with some of the older seasons. As we get into the latest season, we'll watch an older season and then on to the present. BTW, we spend a lot of time taking the sailboats from our boat club out for days at a time. And when we just want to chill, we have nice 32ft. Sea Ray at our disposal. Keep sailing and keep smiling.
learning new boat issues is like buying a new house. you learn issues right off the bat.
Yes, but most NEW homes don’t come with problems like this for a long while until things start getting broken in and used. Used/previously owned ‘new’ homes do and that’s more to be expected.
A brand spanking new boats like this will have its quirks, but all this happening at once, is just ridiculous!
My heart's been breaking for you two in these last two videos! I'm pretty certain you knew better than anyone what you were getting into with a new performance multihull, but wow, what a difference, right? I've done 1500 miles in the class recently, including double-handing a Neel 43 from Anapolis to Miami last December, the hard way. I don't even have words to explain to my friends on the beer can circuit how different it is when compared to our normal lives trying to squeeze 1/4 knots out of 30 year old racer/cruisers every weekend. Everything is more complicated, more powerful, and less comfortable in messy seas. I can't imagine what it's going to be like trying to manage that boat and two little ones while making passage. But, it's also hard to explain how incredible it is to make 15 knots with ease on the way to you next destination, and how much more spacious and comfortable multihulls are when you get there! Good luck! I'll be following along.
Don't be surprised when the passage is going to be exceptionally long that Elayna and the kids just fly. Riley will hire the needed help for certain sails. No way those children will actually cross an ocean.
@@josephdover198 that would be the safest option for everyone.
These episodes are such mood boosters for me. Love them!
Absolutely love how the interior is feeling so full of energy. I just knew once you started getting things inside that the vibe was going to be A++
Thanks Ally 😘
Wait until we give you the full boat tour hehe that video comes out next week 😍😍 SO EXCITED TO SHARE.
- Elayna
That was one heck of a shake down passage. Better to discover as many concerns now than later. Refreshing to see everyone come to the party and step up and own their parts of the responsibilities. As you say it is the structural integrity of the boat that was number one. She stood up magnificently which must leave you all feeling very reassured of what you have. The engine rebuild if done correctly should be a no brainer too. Here’s to great sailing and adventures to come. Enjoy the new vessel.
Thanks Maurice 😊
Really interesting seeing the process of setting up a new boat
Love your videos!
And now I know what a grub screw is! haha!
Glad you made it through that first trip, with no MAJOR problems-hope all gets fixed fast!!
Merry Christmas, peace & love to you all!
Stay safe and thanks for sharing your life!! ❤
Your relationship seems like it’s healing nicely ❤
I must have missed something. I didn't know that they were having difficulties with their relationship. But if that's the case I, too, am glad to see that they are back on track.
13:00, there are no words…..these two need to be much more careful. I remember them crossing the Atlantic on the first boat and he caught a fish and went outside the pushpit to get control of it. No harness, no PFD. One slip and it was all over as Eleyna wasn’t going to get the boat back to him. Now this at 13:00 mins.
Your S/V is amazing. You’ll get it all sorted and be laughing about it all soon. Never give up.
Never surrender. Thanks for the video.
Merry Christmas, Riley, Elana, Lenny, Darwin, Millie and crew🌲🌲🌲
I would like to see fencing protection around the boat for the boys. I am amazed at how smooth and calm inside it was with all that speed!
It’s almost as Riley believes just because he tells two little kids not to go near the edge that he thinks they will listen. I’m surprised people aren’t taking bets on which one will take a tumble over first.
Im no way even close tou your guy's expertise in sailing but it seems like you gave up smooth sailing and space for a boat that seems to just go faster😂😂. Im sure im wrong but I'd stick with the catamaran. Awesome vids. Keep em coming
You are wrong. The boat sailed better than the cat. 3 degrees heel, points higher, lighter, faster, better momentum over waves, easier sail handling, better sail plan, heaps of room.
@@chrispomfret8592what a load of hog wash. There is less room even though boat is longer and that is a fact. Only 2 cabins. Yes it points higher and will go faster because it is lighter there are almost NO creature comforts.
@@gregmatthies8128 you don’t know they layout yet. We already know there is still plenty of room for a young family.
@@chrispomfret8592 we have seen the vids the interior is small and for a 60ft boat with only 2 cabins and a couple pods is not the same as current 60ft cats. Go check them out. The tender is strapped to a net that is poor, the helm has no cover, seat, and is way exposed nothing to hook safety line on if Reiley ever puts one on.
@@gregmatthies8128I’ve noticed that too, especially the exposed helm. I’d take the old boat over this one in a heartbeat. I haven’t seen any 60 foot boats to compare to though.
Endless love for you and family..be super safe on the waters of life and remain astute ..happy sailing and a very merry merry Christmas and happy New year !🎄🎉🎊💞
Okay since you guys are so honest I would have lost my shit if my new boat just got totally messed up as yours did in the middle of all of the rigging problems and sick kids and you handled it better than a rockstar obviously rockstars would never be able to handle it the way he did it. And by the point of your shower I would have just cried and you handled it beautifully. congratulations on making it look so easy. Oh your poor new boat! And installing all your your cool ideas for decoration! on top of it all. It looks amazing ! And still able to love on each other. 😅
Beautiful job guys!
Is there no plan to put any sort of weather protection at the helm? Seems very exposed and like you'd want some shade, wind protection, maybe a seat.
Much love to y’all 🤍 boat is looking gorgeous
wow, when I watch you two handle all the issues the new boat is having (and I do understand that I don't know the financials or guarantees you have with all the equipment/engines), I swear my stomach hurts for you, haha. You two are handling it all with such grace and decorum. I would be sitting in a corner crying that my new boat is breaking. I'm sure there are stresses we don't see on the camera, but you share with us the good and bad and it's just amazing how much you two need to know and handle. Be safe - very jealous of the hot weather and beaches you are able to enjoy - as I had into our winter here (Southern Tier of NY).
I don't know how much they paid for the boat and the great deal they got, GUT I'd be freaking out! Busted sail, no electrcals, leaking window, And an engine over hall all on one trip! Ahhhhhh!
I would call this a perfect shake down cruise. All the systems get checked to the max and can get fixed!! Congratulations and save sail in the future.
hope you get the boat and yourselves sorted and fit asap hope you're all feeling better gutted for you that so many issues have arisen but hopefully everything can get sorted I have just started using Headspace. awesome work guys what a stunning location to be in whilst the boat gets fixed.
That boat is beautiful, absolutely love the colours ❤
Vocês são incríveis Deus abençoe vocês sempre.
😂 Riley cracked me up with his compliments of his handsome mate
When I see that yall have posted my mood is instantly better I love living vicariously through the videos also with me becoming a mom now
I salute yall for the hard work you put in to have this lifestyle !
Happy holidays wishing you all the best ❤️
Merry Christmas kids
Looking great ~ thx for sharing headspace
Awww didn’t want this to finish … very interested in getting to know the new boat and wow you are smashing it out learning a gazillion things!! Good work guys!! Great timing with Headspace as I recommended my sister check it out yesterday so I can get her to use for free using your promo… thanks heaps!! Can’t wait for a full boat tour next week. Have a great Christmas on your new home ❤❤❤
I had a similar voltage issue on my tractor with a yanmar diesel motor. I worked on chasing a short for 4 days and gave up to take it to the shop. They decided the fastest and easiest fix was to replace the entire wiring harness. Fixed my issue so I have kept the old harness and I found the short and repaired it and have it just incase.
You guys get me through tough times. Thanks for the sunny days and the gloomy ones on lvb ❤
You could really hear how loud and harsh the ride was out there in the rough weather. That said, I hope you plan on bolting those picture frames to the wall, or they'll be flying all over the place when you hit rough weather again. Shame about that engine. I'd be interested to know how the water ingress occurred. In a way, it's kind of a blessing in disguise. You got hammered hard and the engine seized, so now you've got the opportunity to sort it out. I really do wish you all smoother sailing from here on out, though. That was a pretty hard 3-4 day trip...for everybody.
I still like your new boat. It'll all come right. Having to replace a brand-new engine is probably not a good look for Yanmar, but in the end that's what shakedown cruises are for. I had a Yanmar on my own trimaran back in the 1970s. It was probably the ONLY thing that never went wrong on that boat! In the meantime, I am fascinated. You're in what used to be "my" domain, having spent some 20 years in the 1980s/90s in Brunei/Sarawak, Singapore, Jakarta and Manila. I was in and out of Kota Kinabalu (from Brunei) all the time, it seems to have been spruced up considerably! Bahasa Indonesia and its Malaysian counterpart do have some minor differences based on their respective Dutch and English influences.
seems like it was hydro locked from ocean intrusion into the exhaust? or maybe a seal on the propshaft allowed salt water into the crankcase. seems like a design problem with the boat rather than the engine.??? dunno? is the yanmar a genset that powers an electric motor/shaft or is it a engine/transmission?
Congratulations! Very nice video, keep them coming as we truly enjoy them. Happy Christmas 🇬🇧
Oh my gosh are your kids gonna break some hearts! They grow up sooooooooooo fast and recording your lives with them is awesome.
Quote of the year, "I'm very very Rock n' Roll".
Oh man! That seems like a lot of boat issues for a new boat and to be sick on top of it all! Brutal for all of you! I can’t wait to see you have a beautiful sail on this spectacular vessel! ⛵️❤
