Surprised Riley’s moustache didn’t fly off once he experienced the speed and power of the Rapido.
Yeah, did you hear? His moustache can fly faster than the speed of the wind.
That would be a hilarious movie.
It didn’t fly off because it’s made out of small strands of dyneema..
Super strong stache
Lolololololoolololol it's not like it's an ac40 or leq12. Let's not exaggerate.
I think some sort of calibration may be needed. Moustache lifting to true boat speed!
Regarding the monkeys. You were protecting your child, so no holds barred in being a protective dad. It's nice to see dad's protecting their kids without stopping to think about it!
Exactly! Hindsight is 20/20 and I'm sure a local used to dealing with monkeys would've done something else, but if your kid is in danger you just have to do whatever comes to mind in the moment to keep them safe.
The macaques in that area of the world are known to be total aholes because they’ve learned people have stuff they can steal for an easy meal. They take cameras and stuff too, and apparently kids as well! I don’t blame Riley at all.
@@abhibeckert yes exactly. God-bless.
THANK YOU! Couldn't have said it better myself.
maybe dont breed in overpopulated world?
Keep with whatever schedule you want for videos, we'll all be here to watch and like. You two have taken me personally into a whole world I'll never see and watching you grow as a family has been fantastic. The boys are legends.
Agree! 100%
Same same
Well said 🤠
Agreed ❤
Thank you both for keeping it real. Ive enjoyed watching you both and your family grow from the beginning . Keep on being you , on your schedule and between the sheets. I for one will follow your adventures until the end if ever. I love what you do. thank you!
We've been watching your videos from the very first one and have loved watching you grow in your craft of creating great content! You have kept it "real" from the beginning, and this video was a great testament to that. Quite honestly, we didn't expect to love this video as much as we did. We're looking forward to following along with you through 2024! Well done!
The mustache blowing off would be a great kids book. With Darwin and Lenny on a mustache hunt.
Great idea!! That would make such an exciting kids book!
😂😂😂 ❤ that. Yes 🙌🏻
Such an amazing idea!!!!
14 years ago I woke up in hospital missing a leg & most of my moustache, I was horrified at the damage caused to my massive moustache & wasn’t too fussed about the leg lol. It probably had a lot to do with the drugs 😂
"Have I punched to many animals" is the best line.
😂😂😂 yes.
I feel like "aussie man fights monkeys" is pretty on par...
I thought you needed a chunk of driftwood to use as a bat. Those guys could have carted off Darwin.
Yes!
@@garthharrington9683 yes, that can happen! You did the right thing Riley.
Great job protecting your children Riley. Don't ever question yourself about protecting your family.
If you only made one longer video a month we all would still watch and understand.
It's amazing to watch and learn and see from your adventures and we all support whatever you do ❤❤❤️❤️
That was such a great video you two have always made us smile - many more years of happy sailing - I can't wait to see the boy's reaction to the moustache gag - keep being fabulous and good luck with the new engine xx
As a father you did what you needed to do to protect the family and so glad you didn't get attacked worse than the bit ❤️
You were definitely not wrong, Riley. Protecting your family as you could. I actually couldn’t believe that everyone just stood around recording and no one tried to help you all! And Elayna, I loved your Sea Shepherd video and watched the whole thing! Keep up the beautiful work and take care of each other 😊
He has created the incident because he doesn't use his brain if it is not about his boat.
I absolutely love how you guys haven’t changed!! In a good way. Definitely evolved but always humble and simple. Thanks for that!
Absolutely loved this video! Laughed so many times, it feels like we really know you guys and I’m so happy you share your life and thoughts with us! ✨
Nailed it Riley, "We're sailors, cut us some slack." Sometimes aw shucks, doesn't get anyone where they need to be.
Exactly
_YEAH, PHUQ THAT!_
You guys have done so much, grown so much and bring joy to so many - be kind to yourselves and each other as much as possible , the kids will be grateful for all you do and a massive thank you for keeping it all real. Bloody legends ! a successful life secret is to just be happy in all you do - keep up the great work legends.
I rowed the Atlantic last month and had two of your update videos as audio with me because they were nice and long and I knew listening to your voices makes me feel good! Hi from Germany
What the hell!!!
That’s incredible.
@@SailingLaVagabonde 49 days at sea in the world's toughest row and so good that I had your voices with me. helped me through a few night shifts on the oars haha
Guten abend from Texas 🩷🤠🩷. My handsome brother lives in Flensburg.
The moustache blowing off, 😂😂 I could just picture the boys' faces and questions, I literally had tears rolling down my face, laughing so much. Your content in all you're vlogs is a perfect balance. Just perfect. SLV is the only channel I have watched from the first episode and every one since, and watch religiously and will continue to. I find other channels become the same as any other of the same topic. Your channel like I said is the perfect balance of every type of content. Keep up the great work, stay safe and take care. Much love, ❤
I really enjoy your 1hr episodes every fortnight. Unlike when Im just scrolling through my feed, when I see these videos I make a conscious effort to get comfy with a cuppa coffee and live vicariously through your videos.
I like to watch the whole episode all at once and will often save the video to come back to later in the day.
I love the long videos, I love all the content you guys make. The sounds of the water, the sails, the wind it's all so comforting and relaxing. Thank you for all you guys do!! ❤❤❤
I am watching you on valentines day and I feel so thankful! I love you guys and what you do! ❤ thank you for all years and about 2023 - you did a lot! I was crying when Elay felt burnout and then happy tears when you feel better ❤️🩹 Riley with monkeys did his thing! It was scary and funny in the same time! Sometimes I wonder how do you deal with trash living on a boat and how do you feel with world crisis war everywhere, but still happy that you do your things and live your life to the fullest!🎉
Really good to see how your all doing, I was watching every week back in the day, and its really great to get this in my feed after so long :)
Y’all had an exciting year! It’s so great to see the boys so happy and diverse. What a wonderful way to grow up ❤
Thanks for taking us with you, I appreciate your sense of adventure your kids are adorable and you have both stayed classy over the years
omg u guys are SOOOOO good at this. You're talking to me like I'm your good friend --that's EXACTLY what u need. Yeah, u guys are going to keep growing. BOTH of you do it, that's amazing.
I love videos like this one! Its also crazy how much has changed in a year and how much the kids have grown up! I can tell how much happier Elayna is after recovering from burnout which makes me very happy as someone who deals with burnout semi regularly. I also absolutely loved the Sea Shepherd Boat video, but I also care deeply about the cause behind it.
You guys regularly make me laugh and make my day when a new video comes out; I am excited for the new year and new videos 😊🖤
PLEASE MAKE THAT FITNESS ROUTINE VID! We live in a small apartment and don’t really have access to a solid gym so I’d love to get some tips. Looking forward to another year of adventures and sailing vicariously through y’all.
agreed!!
Yessss 🙌
YES
Agreed
Agree please do a video😊
Since COVID I been fighting major depression so I understand burn out oh too well and the struggles that come with it, as a man your taught to push through it but it’s tough at times. But don’t have a choice but find a way to push through. So keep it up guys either way you know what’s best for you and your family.
Sending love your way ❤ you got this! There is so much beauty in this life you just have to sift through all the shit till you find it
@@mindfulofmaya thanks i am really trying. :)
Diet, exercise, sleep schedule.....get up in the early morning...start walking for at least one hour. Vit C and D3. No more alcohol or coffee.
@@jimbeam7160 funny you said this thats exactly what i have started doing in the past 2 weeks. thanks.
I really respect the way you guys post ur videos. I think it's perfect. Always long videos, and fit as most as you can in that amount of time.
I have been watching this beautiful family’s videos sense the beginning of the channel and it’s my favorite thing to watch out of all the channels I have and it’s always so great seeing them on another adventure somewhere in the world I can’t wait to see what is next LOVE YOU GUYS
Welcome back missed you guys , thank you for the update !
I absolutely love you guys videos and look forward to watching them! You guys are so inspirational and motivating!! Can’t wait to see what you have in store this year!
omg. ive been watching since monohull. so of these questions just love it. also lve the mental health you are open about. yall keep doing what you are doing.
Great to see y’all! Thanks for sharing your life!! ❤
You guys are awesome and I love all your videos !! These life updates are super informative and interesting and Riley, you did the right thing with the monkeys to keep you and your family safe!!! Nobody can say yea or nay to it unless they were in the same circumstances!! Keep up the great work!! And thank you!
Great Video Elaina and Riley, you do you, no matter what length or frequency you do you, youre videos are raw, uplifting, relaxing and fun to watch, ✌️
You folks are made for this job, beautiful work, as per usual! Thank you
Honestly with the boys being right there, you truly had no choice. Ask the people giving you a hard time how they would feel if either or both boys had been hurt!! No one can truly know what they might have done unless they were in the exact situation, as a Mom of 2 ( now adults) I’m really proud of your quick thinking and quite happy you weren’t more seriously injured! ❤
Well said
Curious if the boys have had any bad dreams about the monkeys. That was a terrifying experience. You handled it perfectly.
Calipte was amazing!!!! I just realized you guys were on that boat. Now I'll have to watch both videos. ❤ Gracias for sharing your adventures
Me and my partner are saving to start life of sailing and watching you makes me even more excited about this! I hope one day we can meet 😍 watching you sail with kids makes me confident we can do it too with out little one 🥺
I just have to say that I love you guys. I have started sailing and you guys have been my inspiration. Thank you and all the best to you and your boys.
Lol keeping the family safe matters more than punching an aggressive animal
Glad to hear yall got a schedule figured out and things have gotten better
Been following you guys on and off for years. Amazed at all the places you've sailed to. The boys are so big! Very cool.
Hey! Way to go, you guys, for foreseeing the social needs of your boat boys and doin' something about it!!! Awesome of you! And it will help so many other people, too. Your new app may become a huge thing. Brilliant!
You both look fit and healthy,Always a top priority to maintain our mental health,take time off from Social Media,we appreciate you taking us along your adventures,keep smiling,laugh often and always stay safe.Special note your boys are just beautiful little humans way to go Mom and Dad,much love from BC Canada ❤️🇨🇦🤗
For what it's worth, I love you two! You are two amazing humans, raising two more amazing humans and.....making the world a better place in your spare time...True INSPIRATIONS!
Elaina, I can really relate to your burnout situation. I have my own psychology practice and got to the point where I could not pick up the phone. Every time it rang I had a panic attack. I had crying spells, couldn't sleep for days, and then slept for 11 or 12 hours a night, and was exhausted emotionally and physically. I've since cut back my client numbers to a manageable level and hired someone to do the phone calls. It still took months to stop panicking every time I heard the phone ring. I'm so understanding of what you went through and I'm very grateful you shared this experience. It took a lot of courage. Be well.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that. But I hope you’re like me in that, life got a million times better post burnout. It feels like I’ve been given a new life 🦋 thanks for your comment and for sharing your story!
- Elayna
As someone who also went through a very traumatic two years in the past, I also had panic attacks when the phone rang at a certain point in those years. So much so, my husband had to get my phone number changed to stop the mess. It was an immediate stress relief.
For the record kids, I absolutely love you two, and Lenny and Darwin, and this is from a grandfather whose only living child is soon to be sixty-two. I look forward so much to each of your videos. Please continue to entertain us so that we might enjoy your love for each other and for the boys.
BEST VIDEO!! You both had me in hysterics 😂😂😂 Love all of the content you give us, it truly is a gift to us all! I honestly am looking forward to the mustache blowing off hahaha ❤from NJ
I will watch literally every video you make no matter what! I’ve been watching you guys since it was just the two of you, it has made me so happy seeing your life grow
happy and waiting haha hope all is good will enjoy what you put together at once
What a rare privilege to share in these years of your life voyage. I am overjoyed that your new vessel is underfoot and the rest of your experience is continuing to unfold. I will be so grateful to see what it's been, when ever it gets posted, ( & thanks ,in advance) All the Best to you all. Jono
I've been following your travels since 2016. I even did Patreon for a little while and got some cool La Vaga swag for my small part in keeping the dream alive. You guys have done an amazing job in keeping your content fresh, and I'm still following after all these years. I'm turning 50 this year I still have my own dream of sailing the world. Keep up the effort and stay true to yourselves. I've enjoyed seeing the progression and look forward to what's coming. Thanks for the adventure!
Can’t wait to hear what’s been going on, your energy has been incredible lately! So radiating and inspiring
I love this format! It's like having you guys in our family room chatting! The topics are on point, your relationship is terrifically encouraging and positive! Love, love, love it!
I'm so glad that dropping to two, sometimes three video's a week has given you back some much needed time to 'just be'. We love watching your experiences, short or long, and it's obvious that you're enjoying what you do. That's the problem with RUclips, that many don't realise, it's not a nine to five job with the weekends off. Every single moment is a possible 'get the camera out' moment and that's hard! Looking forward to seeing Riley's moustache flying off lol.
I just absolutely ADORE the boys. Love all their antics, their relationship, and their personalities. They crack me up all the time! ❤❤❤
Love these updates. Now that both my boys are about to be in high school, I am going full court press to get my girl onboard with full-timing on our boat. Your videos give me hope that it can and will happen.😅
I would have reacted the same!
I'm glad you didn't fall backwards as you would have been eaten alive!
My 2024 so far have been binge watching you both from the beginning!
Thank you for showing me around the world! I am looking forward to the weekly content ❤❤❤❤
I'm not a sailor, I'm not even a sailing fan, I am however a fan of this family & definitely swear like a sailor I've been told. Love the adventures, the content, the sense of humor, the laid back lifestyle while living life to the fullest! The assumptions part was funny! Your boat neighbors must love you guys! 😂
Excellent vid.
Good to see you all in a good place.
Life aboard is a privilege, but it can be very tough, you show all aspects.
Also, blabbing on about, and consciously looking after your mental and physical health is hugely important.
Bon voyage for '24😊
Knowing your strict regiment of keeping the boat as light as possible while underway. They do make a water bladder system that is the same as the sand bag system.
Might be more your style while at sea. You can lighten the load while not in use and easily fill them when needed. Plus it keeps the sand off your gel coat while onboard.
Also, with water bags ... if you are ever in an emergency situation without water or the ability to make water, you have a built-in supply.
@@rongaskinsI would agree with you as long as they didn't empty them regularly after use. If they empty to keep the boat light and only fill up when needed then I think they will use salt water instead if precious fresh. But if they only need to empty for long passages then I don't see why it would hurt to use fresh, I guess it depends on how much water is needed.
You two cringing at your popp-ins joke was too funny. Love the vulnerable side of this video. Also love you gave Kara and Nate credit for idea. You guys have beautiful souls.
Elayna!! I literally didn’t ever see a notification or the video about your sea Shepard experience. I will go watch it right now 🫶🏽
I have spent many hours watching your lives via RUclips, you are a credit and wonderful role models to everyone. I have been humbled by your raw honesty and I will watch with interest as you continue your lives and see the boys grow up. I am a 67yr old grandfather to 4 wonderful kids, I am disabled so living your adventurous vicariously gives me an escape from the mundane. I wish you all well for your future adventures. Safe travels. Rich from Wales 🏴 UK 🇬🇧
Happy to have you here Richard 💙 thanks for your thoughtful comment, and for sharing your story!
Role models as in using drugs around the kids? (micrdosing)
@@roymoon1 I have no idea what you are referring to 🤷♂️ and don’t really care.
Microdosing is taking small amounts of illicit drugs.@@richwwardrugby
Beyond sailing, the appeal of your channel is that you're both gorgeous yet real people struggling like the rest of us. I'm recently separated after 26 years married...kids 23 & 19
Was watching a couple of the Series 1 vids. I wonder if you ever watch them because from there to here has been quite the adventure.
All credit to you both.
One of the constants that shines though is your easy going nature with the people you meet and who come and visit. Never taking anything for granted.
I just love you guys! Always such great content. Thanks for sharing and giving us an update!
Love that crazy boat, love you crazy people, keep doing what you are doing ❤️
For Lenny - in South Australia, Open Access is the old "school of the air" so it's online, Australian based curriculum.
They have an offsuit of that called "Inventorium".
We've just gone from completely unschooling to using Inventorium.
They're FANTASTIC
Elena, I experienced true "burnout" last month and almost hospitalized myself because of how intense it was.
Legitmate burnout is no joke.
I have two kids, did it all, never sat down and then every weekend would get more & more overstimulated/overwhelmed. The last 4 weeks beforehand, every weekend I'd say "I pushed myself too hard this time" & unconsciously to myself it was a WARNING that my cup had been dry for too long.
One day my mind just kind of shut down. First time in 6 years of parenthood that I spent a whole weekend in bed. Felt like a neverending panic attack. Being the default parent and being unable to do anything.
Now trying to get out of the depersonalization state and fear of it happening again.
You're doing amazing and hope you have every bit of support deserved.
Koodos to Riley for helping you through that
Honestly Riley. I can never punch too many animals to protect ur family. I’ve laughed and gasped every time. Film at ur leisure. Bc we watch at our leisure. Thank u always for bringing us along 💜
Thanks for keeping it real with us 🙂
I had a similar experience with monkeys in India. They can be really aggressive. And if your children are potentially at risk, you do what you have to do to protect them. That was a scary scene. Glad you all came out of it without any worse injuries.
Another great video. Loved the review. Amazing what a journey you guys are on. Thank you for bringing us along!
Great job on the edits❤ All the videos y'all make are so well put together❤
I could listen to you two talk about your kids all day 🥰🥰 as a single mom of two, it really warms my heart to see you be such a great team ❤
While you are looking for Mary Poppins, consider Montessori pedagogy. The early years of child development are so impressive. Finding some home Montessori pages to follow will help give you some great ideas of learning opportunities at home. Lenny and his knots all around the boat tell me he is already doing the work! As a former head of school, I can’t say enough about Montessori approach to learning ❤
Love you guys and our 12 year old has also loved you guys since she was a little girl meeting Riley at the Miami Boat show. Wife & I were former sailors but now live on the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica We still hope to divide our time between sailing and this paradise. Keep doing what makes you happy! That’s all that matters!
Good morning from Minnesota USA! Great episode, I'm looking forward to seeing what 2024 brings for you!
So good seeing you guys like this actually having fun chipping away at each other but smiling and can see you two are actually good mates. Thanks guy’s
Look how fit Alayna is. She could compete! Honestly though, if you change to a once a month schedule you have underestimated a market you may have created. There are so many cruisers with podcasts now, there is no shortage of content. You've accomplished so much, don't lose it to hubris.
I missed u guys❣️
Great video👍🏻
Can’t wait for all your adventures!!! Blessings🙏
Your vids make my day 😊Under a lot of stress at the moment with work. I cannot wait for your Japan trip. Love watching your adventures. Your family is so beautiful and you guys crack me up. Found you guys through Kara and Nate and glad I did. The monkey situation you did no wrong, you was protecting your family. Still can’t believe the other people around didn’t help just stood and watched you
I too am excited about your escapades/adventures in japan! Seems like theres a lot of options. I hope to see a locally guided tour like what you did on long island
Yesssss bring on Japan 🥲🥲 we’re so very lucky to get to do a trip like that.
Excellent video. You guys have grown into this very well.
Great video, loved the honesty and the insights. Keep it up (but don’t overdo it), looking forward to many more 😊
Thanks for this. Just for the record, loving ALL your episodes, I laughed my a** off about the Greenpeace one tbh 😂. Really appreciate these kinds of updates. Also loving the fact that you 2 guys are in the prime of your relationship, makes me think and go over my own 🙃😅 Thanks so much for having such a positive influence on my life you guys ♥️♥️
Aw man Riley you HAVE to do the moustache thing. That'll be SO funny
Love this FREE channel, and this family!
👇👇Those who Agree
Riley said it best; 2 vids a month are beautiful guys. Loving to see the slower past and life becoming more manageable for you. 💗
Great video, love the life updates, and year reviews too! Keeping life real and fun, thank you!
I miss your diving sequences and your freediving
Riley & Elayna: You were totally right in defending yourself and your children against those very aggressive monkeys on the beach. Only sorry that you were injured in the process. Sincerely, Canadian Colleen
What a great video. Thanks for sharing your incredible life with us ❤
Enjoy you two so much and the kids! Keep the great videos coming!!
Love you guys; thanks for the update! Keep doing what yr doing. Can't wait for the moustache episode, *lol*
Same hahaha it has to happen! 😂
- Elayna
@@SailingLaVagabonde , it'll be EPIC! 🤣
Riley!!!! Let Elayna have a washing machine please 🙏🏻 😂❤
"I want the best tutor in the world" ♡♡♡♡ love you guys so much ♡♡♡ anyone that questions how much you love your kids and want the best for them is crazy
Was a boat kid back in 2007 when comms were mostly VHF and some email at slow lan-houses. We would go on the VHF as soon as we got to an anchorage and ask if there were kids who wanted to play and very often buddy boating for several months with other families! Such a great time, I'm still in contact and good friends with several of them after so many years :) I think Sea People will make this so much easier, looking forward to using it!
could not believe people were not helping you protect your family
Riley for your sandbags - I highly recommend rubber mulch+pea gravel instead of sand. Much less messy and still soft enough to throw on your shoulder and robust enough to throw down (when on solid ground)
