So glad you're all physically ok. Loved that Lenny was concerned about the other fisherman too. You've bought him up well. I know its traumatic and inconvenient but at least no-one was hurt. Take that as a blessing.
Grateful nobody was injured (on either boat); grateful neither boat sank; grateful you had just decided to renew your insurance (for god's sake!), and grateful that the couple self-reported the incident (vs a hit and run) and showed such concern and remorse. Also grateful that everyone is working together to fix things and make it right. Can't help wondering whether you'll be able to make that concert in Tokyo or not...the one you were sooooo looking forward to attending?
Glad to hear you have a great perspective! Your kids reflect your actions and they seem very happy! Boats can be repaired. The sailing community never disappoints ❣️❣️❣️
So good to hear from you guys! Thank you for posting an update while you're in the midst of sorting out a crisis. Glad you have other sailing people around you, and good support from your agent, etc. You all support each other. Thank you, Riley, for asking how Elayna was doing. A scary event that takes time to process, especially as parents of two young children. You must have felt so vulnerable at the time. You're a wonderful, resourceful, caring group of people, kids included, and you're going to be okay. Thank goodness!!!!! ❤🥰❤
damn that algorithm !!!! As you wish, we will just like all videos ! Still very sorry for how things turned out but thankfully you and the family are healthy and unharmed HUGS !
Come on Riley get in your overalls, grinder , some DB carbon tape ,some of that sticky stuff , layer of glass and peel ply and you’ll be on your way again. Keep on sailing the trip I wanted to make. But, my body gave up after building people like you their dream boats. 😢😢 Just go for it. Happy travels. 👍👍
Kai, you are the master! Barely awake and thinking to listen for the bilge pump's. It's sooo good to have someone like you along side when life smacks you like this. Good on you mate.
Guys, whatever happens we will stand behind you and support whatever decision you will take for the good of your Family and future adventures to come ❤
It's so impressive how grow your boys are, especially Lenny. He is an old soul, calm, thoughtful, concerned for others. He is a great big brother, and wonderful eldest son!!! Thank you for the videos and transparency with your life. We love you and you all are in our prayers. ❤❤❤
I feel so emotional about this update…like you’re my cousinsbrotherssisterschildrenniecesnephews. I’ve been looking out vigilant for y’all. I wish I could do more than pray. I am relieved a little that there are positives on the horizon. You’ve always shown us how to navigate trouble. I hope we all can help you do the same. Xoxo
For a somber video, you had me in stitches when you were talking about them taking photos of the beds. as a viewer, i am wholeheartedly impressed with your poise through this. In a year, say, please do a video where you revisit this experience and describe it with the hindsight you'll have. thanks. your videos are my favorites.
Glad no one was hurt. Boats can be fixed. Hopefully everything is taken care of quickly, and you all can go on with your adventures. Love to all of you!❤❤🩹❤
Kids will respond how adults around them respond. The more calm you can stay in a scary situation, the more calm the kids will be. If you freak out, then they will freak out. They don’t understand things the way adults do. So glad all y’all are okay! YIKES! 😱
Above all, I am so thankful that you were all safe. I hope Alana, that you will do all the self care that you need, either with BetterHelp or with other ways to process what you've been through. This was a very traumatic experience, it's not unusual to have basically post traumatic stress. Remember you have a huge community of people on water and on land that care.♥️
On a positive note, your boat took a helluva hit and is still sea worthy... if you ever had any doubt about it's structural strength, you've got to feel pretty good about it now. Good news on the insurance too... fingers crossed.
I'm so happy for you that la Vagabonde is still seaworthy after that. scary crash!! I hope the repairs are much easier and less expensive than you anticipate. I hope you keep us posted even while it's getting worked on. it's always wonderful to see you all. God bless and keep you safe!
Nice to see your video pop up this morning (here in Australia). I've been keen to know how things are, as have we all. On another note, I've had covid recently and it's triggered a flare of an autoimmune illness I have so I haven't been feeling myself. Seeing your videos is a form of respite and escapism. Thank you for the work you do, for sharing your experiences.❤
You all are epic. So happy everyone is safe.. Off the cuff, I’ve done AG1 and just recently switched to Live It Up. It’s COMPLETELY organic and equal, if not better. I am starting to notice my focus is even more true. Just FYI.
Thanks fam.

I don’t understand when YT messes with the algorithm. We were concerned and needed to hear from you, and your new videos became hard to find. Thank goodness I subscribe and get alerts, but the thumbnails had disappeared from my feed. Grateful your experience wasn’t worse than it was.
Glad everyone is okay, and the damage is better than it could've been/expected. Japan at least takes things really seriously, but their bureaucracy can be slow, so hopefully the process isn't too painful.
So sorry to see this happened. But good to see you are supporting each other, and the Japanese fisherman couple seemed very apologetic and sorry. Says something about the country you are in. Hope the boat will soon be repaired. Love to you guys and to your boys and crew ❤
Just glad that you all are safe! And great vlog Elayna, you did a beautiful job considering everything that was going on. I'm wishing you a speedy repair and sending you all love and light.
❤I'm so glad you guys are 👍. Thing will be OK 👍 when you stay grateful and humble. You guys have each other looking forward to watching and supporting along the way! I'm glad I've found your channel absolutely living the dream my dream as a kid, lol.
I’m overjoyed that You, the kids and the Crew were unharmed. Your adventure is captivating. Keep your sense of humor through the upcoming challenges . We will be with you through it all. 🥰
The love your kids feel and show is an example of the amazing parenting you both give, i hate you all went through that, I still dream about my motorcycle accident, cant imagine if my babies had been with me.... all of us will try and get you guys back in the algorithm though I highly doubt with how awesome this channel is that it will be much of a problem. I sail vicariously through you, stuck to the lakes for now. Fair seas to you and yours.
I had to listen to Riley's poem about laundry twice. Very nice, very nice indeed. And extremely relatable. So glad to hear you guys are being taken good care of. You are all precious treasures in this world. Darwin showing such concern for the person on the other boat is such an insight into what is in his adorable little heart. He's a giver, a little love, both the boys are your most precious treasures on this earth. Lifting you guys all up in prayer, May God be with you always. You are loved. ♾
🫨&WOW THE BOYZ🙆🏽 THE BOYZ, THEY ARE THE MOST Courageous YOUNG PEOPLE I EVER HAVE SEEN YOUR CORRECT, LENY "IS" A LITTLE MAN! & OVER THE MOON YA ALL ARE OK!!🍀🤕🍀
I am so glad you guys are ok and it was so heart warming the Lenny’s first concern was for the other people. That is awesome parenting. Having 6 kids myself it always a proud moment when parent’s of my kids friends tell they are a pleasure to be around. I am sure you guys are special people!
Thankfully, you're all ok ship is only got minor damage, your boys are ok, the more calm you are, they will be ok, getting back somethings that give you normalcy, like hair washing, and laundry, and giving the boys those things quickly enough, helps them too to find recover. For Lenny to have the presence of mind for the welfare of the other vessel, shows how little kids process, and they know they can do mighty big people things. Just cause one has a stop sign to tell people to stop, doesn't always mean that they will, to still be cordial kind, and brave, Lenny was all about that! Great job Lenny!
What sweet adaptable boys you have. The fact that his first thought was for the man that hit you is very admirable! You are doing a great job as parents!❤
I’m so glad you are all doing well! I have been thinking about you guys and hoping you are doing well mentally and physically! We are always behind your beautiful family and crew and will always support you no matter what! As my mother says “never a dull moment” With love! ❤
GLAD Alaina trusts her intuition about the insurance! My Intuition has saved me and others more than I can remember! Everything happens for a reason Riley . Happy you are safe❤
I love that your child’s first concern was for the person in the other boat. ❤
I teared up, what a beautiful heart he has.
Why were cameras rolling?
I was thinking the SAME thing about their children being concerned about the other people first.
I think that was Lenny that was so concerned.
Lenny is a really great human being - best of the best!
It was soo sweet that Lenny was worried about someone else being hurt 🥹🥲
Was it Lenny, or Darwin who asked that, we didn't see their faces to know. Either way, yes, it was precious.
What caring children!
Indeed
6:08 "did you help Darwin? Maybe gave him a hug to make him feel safe?" .... Lenny "uhmm no??" 😂😂😂 Kids are the best!!
Loved the way the personal interviews about the accident were stitched together.
Both of the young fellas handled it very well.
Glad you’re all safe.
So glad you're all physically ok. Loved that Lenny was concerned about the other fisherman too. You've bought him up well. I know its traumatic and inconvenient but at least no-one was hurt. Take that as a blessing.
We are so sorry this happened but so glad everyone is alright

Can't help wondering whether you'll be able to make that concert in Tokyo or not...the one you were sooooo looking forward to attending?
Good lesson for the boys to comfort each other and look out for each other and be responsible for each other.
I am so glad you are all safe
May God bless you, your family, crew and vessel. It's always darkest before the dawn. Better days are ahead.
That only works for people who believe in God.
Thanking God everyone is safe

I love Lenny’s enthusiasm, he is ready for a bigger boat
OMG Is he OK ! Bought tears too my eyes ❤️
Yes, Reiley you are being looked after✨🧡 Your family has been blessed😉
Thank God everyone is safe and the boat can be fixed most of the damage appears to be minor I hope.
GLAD TO HEAR THINGS ARE NOT SO BAD !
I'm SO glad the damage is not extensive and more superficial, so lucky! Fingers crossed the insurance covers all 🤞🤞
So good to know everyone is safe and physically unharmed.
damn that algorithm !!!! As you wish, we will just like all videos ! Still very sorry for how things turned out but thankfully you and the family are healthy and unharmed HUGS !

Elena and Riley and kiddos, I'm just glad your safe! 🙏🙏🙏
Reminds me of when my house burnt to the ground. Losing your home or even coming close is life changing. God Bless you all!
It's so impressive how grow your boys are, especially Lenny. He is an old soul, calm, thoughtful, concerned for others. He is a great big brother, and wonderful eldest son!!! Thank you for the videos and transparency with your life. We love you and you all are in our prayers. ❤❤❤

What a journey! Thank you for sharing all the aftermath of the collision. So glad you all are safe and coping well ⛵️🧡

EXACTLY!!!!!! Lenny was calm and collected. Momma not so much so Lenny learns reaction from this.
Above all, I am so thankful that you were all safe. I hope Alana, that you will do all the self care that you need, either with BetterHelp or with other ways to process what you've been through.

Good to see that the CG process was not too grueling, and well documented. Soon enough this will be just another adventure, and a bar story!
Nice to see your video pop up this morning (here in Australia). I've been keen to know how things are, as have we all.

Realy glad you 're okay. What a great crew you got! Thanks for the update.
Thank God you are OK!!! I have prayed for your safety for a long time.
I’m so glad you are all doing ok. Your boys are such a credit to you. Love from UK.
I am so glad that everyone was unhurt (physically). Hopefully the repairs will be speedy,
Glad to see everyone is ok, positive and looks as though the boat is going to be ok.
You all are epic. So happy everyone is safe..

So generous for you to suggest other you tube sailors.
Hope your boat issues are solved quickly and in your favor.
Amazing that there isn’t more damage. Hope you get it sorted soon.
So glad you are all safe!
I don’t understand when YT messes with the algorithm. We were concerned and needed to hear from you, and your new videos became hard to find. Thank goodness I subscribe and get alerts, but the thumbnails had disappeared from my feed.
Grateful your experience wasn’t worse than it was.
Good luck, folks. Brian in Cairns Qld.
Great episode. So glad your boat will be okay.
Thank goodness u all are ok.
Awesome Family & Crew; Awesome Video - as usual.
Thanks Guys! ❤
Stay Safe & Enjoy! 🎉
Glad everyone is okay, and the damage is better than it could've been/expected. Japan at least takes things really seriously, but their bureaucracy can be slow, so hopefully the process isn't too painful.
Glad you all are safe. Hopefully, repairs can be done in a timely manner….but don’t hold your breath. At least you have more time to explore Japan.
Press on, I wish you well during this difficult time.
So sorry to see this happened. But good to see you are supporting each other, and the Japanese fisherman couple seemed very apologetic and sorry. Says something about the country you are in. Hope the boat will soon be repaired. Love to you guys and to your boys and crew ❤
Just glad that you all are safe! And great vlog Elayna, you did a beautiful job considering everything that was going on. I'm wishing you a speedy repair and sending you all love and light.
Glad your all ok~!
Rock on little family god bless ❤
Glad to see no one was hurt, good luck with the repairs.
Great video guys. Thanks for the update ❤❤❤

Good to hear you're all OK 👍
So glad to hear their fishing fleet has coverage, and hope it actually covers what you need. Good luck.
Riley's laundry narration was hilarious.
On the bright side, you’re all safe and your in Japan!
Loved the Lenny interview!
I'm so glad everyone is Ok!
All the best to you guys!!!!

So grateful that no one was hurt! That being said... what a pain and inconvenience. Oh yeah, and... "they broke the carbon fire"..... too cute!! 😄
Good episode, and just glad you are ok
Well done guys
I'm so glad everyone is ok. Im sure the people who hit you feel horrible. So sorry this happened.
I’m overjoyed that You, the kids and the Crew were unharmed. Your adventure is captivating. Keep your sense of humor through the upcoming challenges . We will be with you through it all. 🥰
I have noticed that that all my senses are hypertensive if I am asleep and suddenly awoken.
Your 'Sea Angels' were watching over you and your family

Never a dull moment at sea. ❤️you guys, be safe. 😎🇨🇦☮️.

What do you do now? Hmm, there is a catamaran named LaVagabonde that is normally used for charter that you might acquire for a bit! 😂😂😂
