😊👍
Have been watching your videos for a while now and all I can say is thank you so much for sharing these priceless moments!
I just want to thank you both for the stunning job you guy’s do on these videos 🥂 I’m disabled and not able to get to the ocean as often as I used to be able too. You guy’s actually are thee only RUclips channel that I have to put on my TV to watch. You make me feel like I’m there. Well as close as possible anyway!! 😂😂 The boys are growing so fast! Elayna it’s so wonderful to see your smile and spark back!! Riley you’re just all around a great man and daddy! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Riley and Elayna 🙏🍾🥂 That dive and the people!! I can only dream💞
@Riley if you were to start your sailing life from Zero would you go straight for a Trimaran ?
I am curious if your crew guy Forrest, is ever gifted tokens of appreciation with a night off at a stopping off point like the oil rig adventure, as an example? Or does he have to always stay on the boat? Maybe a video mention of what Forrest responsibilities are as a crew member? Thank you.
Been watching you for years…. Just want to give due praise to Elayna for her informative narrations. You do them so well that I’ve realised I hardly ever consider the effort of great scripting and delivery that you put in to them. Great stuff Elayna. You create the seams that sew the whole video together . You’re a legend mate.
You’re absolutely right! Elayna has really honed her vlogs over the years into such well written content, including mini vacations, interviews, spa breaks for mental health, beautiful dives (my personal favorites), and family time bringing up 2 little ones while sailing the world. I’m fatigued just thinking about it all😂. Thank you Elayna for your beautiful gift of work to the world.
I couldn’t agree more! Elayna does such an amazing job with the videos. I love watching and learning about all the different places you travel to and I can’t even imagine how you have the time to put in all the extra content, it’s amazing! And those boys! They really are the cutest kids.
Leave it up to Lenny to have the perfect answer to his favorite thing....."eat"
Extra compassion to Forrest. Taking one for the team (even if it's your job) by staying behind during an epic dive adventure, and then getting caught by illness while alone on the boat, ugh. The best is yet to come to you, mate! We see you!
Reckon he ate the wrap?
Yes 👏🏼👏🏼
@SpearfishingWalrus He was looking a bit thin and pale when he was explaining that he had been sick poor thing.
Ellie is such a sweetheart. Every boat should come equipped with an Ellie.
Do you want me Ellie she's a huge pain in the arse 😂 18 going in 30
Stubborn, strong minded and a force to reckon with x
@@lacelegends9102 I want Ellie! I love her tenacity, her beauty, her self containment, her beautiful independence. Yes!!
Fancy camera or not, it's still quite breathtaking! Im glad they were family friendly and the boys had a great time too. What great memories for everyone.
On my 30s birthday, I was at Sipadan, I decided to dive at 30m straight into the blue. And was met by a school of hammer heads. I am 54 this year :)
Freaky ya?
Hammerheads whirlpool is found in layang-layang atoll off sabah. Another world class area.
@@keangwooichoo6138 Yep been there too multiple times.
Kids, for the record, I absolutely love you both and most importantly, the boys. Cherish the boys as we lost our son in 1999 when he was thirty-two, to cancer. You do such a wonderful job of editing your videos, you are a consummate professional in all aspects, and I can hardly wait for your next video. Thank you for what you do and please give the boys a big hug for me.
Ok kiddo
I'm with Lenny, Eating is my fav hobby. I tried to stop but that didn't work out. Thanks for sharing
Aww darwins little voice, made my heart melt. Him vocalising his frustration eas just the cutest.
My little boy is 16 minth and still isnt talking much, we think hes got early signs of autism because of the trait's hes showing.
Keep being you kittle buddy ❤
He may be autistic, I couldn't say he isn't, but my sister-in-law didn't speak until she was at least 2 yrs old... she got a PhD from Balliol College, Oxford and is one of the world's leading scientists! ie Don't worry, yet
Everyone has already said how cool this episode is, but I'm gonna' join the band! Those guys on the rig were absolutely epic!
I think Elayna is a super human! Being a woman, mum, friend, sailor, business woman, artist - just wow.
Every Monday I take a bath and smoke a 💨 and watch the lads and it’s just changed my Mondays! Anyway I finally sailed up for that sailing course. Thanks parasocial pals 🙏.
same. monday routine rn
Currently enjoying a nice soak and a smoke myself. 😆💚
Don’t forget to get out of the bath unless we talking a different smoke 😂
Aaaaay, blazed in the bath gang ASSEMBLE! Good to see ya guys 🤙🛀🍃
Stop smoking crack!
Pretty soon Lenny will be big enough to learn to sail the dinghy 😁
Watching this on a really big TV and it is SO captivating! Feels like you’re really underwater. You guys have a way to make videos feel like an immersive experience.
Another epic adventure. You're all lagends mate. The crew on the rig were awesome and the dive sites were teeming with marine life. Nice.
Vag-ends?
Aww, so sorry Forrest was sick. Thanks 4 sharing your trip! All the trash on the beach was so saddening. Safe travels.❤
Darwin is too cute for words so is Lenny. Loved this video
The dives were incredible and you didn't kill anything down there....kudos.
As dive instructors for over 25 years !
You never loose it !
Good on you two!
❤ from 🇨🇦 BC
Another great video! “ Lenny, don’t hit your brother with a wooden spoon” I’m an old oil field hand too and diver. I save your videos for a time when I can relax and enjoy them. What a great dive location and community.
For a time, I fell out of love with your channel...I'm not sure why, BUT I can really say I'VE FALLEN BACK INLOVE WITH IT! I can feel the intention behind your videos. Feel the love, effort, and hard work that goes into filming and editing and planning your adventures! Thank you for showing us the world through your eyes! I've found some real happiness in watching ❤
It was hard to shift from boating to traveling while their boat was built for me but i can only imagine how hard and displaced they felt lol ❤
I think you could feel their burn out, unsettledness and uncertainty through their content for a bit but I think they’ve settled into their new rhythm with finally moving onto the boat and being in love with sailing and filming again 🙌🏽 (Elayna and Riley have talked about these emotions and seasons in depth so this isn’t a random observation and it’s not accusing either, I completely understand and it’s natural for life to have ups and downs! ❤️)
Went diving at Mabul, and went to Barracuda Point at Sipidan. It was the craziest experience of my life.
Okay please!!! If you see this comment...we HAVE to make Riley's laugh into a ring tone we can buy! I've had this idea for years but just finally getting the confidence to try to make it happen. I dread my phone ringing (personal issues) but I really think that would be a positive mental health accessory for all of us who need a little reminder before we answer that call or text! I adore the kids and especially Elayna and her songs. ❤🎉 But Riley's laugh is something also...I'd buy it and I'm sure it would help my social anxiety haha. It's such a small idea but one that's been nagging me for years now. I want one!
You can do this yourself if you screen record and use garage band
Really? Jesus get a life
@bynoebynoe9677
Kind of harsh, Dude!!
Record it via screen record. Use one of the many audio from video extraction websites. Trim the audio just to his laugh. Then select at the ring tone. Unless you have an iPhone. I have no clue if they'll even let you do that on an iPhone.
He does have a great laugh and would make an awesome ring tone! Gee...I guess that means I need to get a life, too, lol.😊
Been watching your channel for before Lenny was born and seeing you SCUBA diving for the first time finally gave me something I could relate to. The dive sites were awesome and as I have been an advanced open water diver for the last 35 years, I can only remember one dive site in the Caribbean that came close. Hope you show more diving like this in the future.😅
Absolutely living for the quality of these films recently 😍🤩 You guys are in your own league!!! Stay cool 😎
I was truly amazed at the diversity and sheer quantity of fish living on the reef under the oil rig! Love that you guys bring attention to these topics. Everyone looks healthy and happy. Boys are growing up! Great Video Guys!!! Well done
Forrest taking 420 to a whole new level if ya know you know 4:20👏bravo sir❤❤
Thankyou for all the hard work you guys do to show your wonderful life. It's a beautiful thing to watch!
Just beautiful 🐠 🌊🏝
SLV still nailin' it a decade later. Came for the sailing, stayed for the vibe.
Obviously Elena did her narration so well because everyone is complimenting her. What I wanted to say is how much you have matured Elena, how professional and intelligent you’ve become. it kind of reminds me of how my husband taught me so much and your husband has taught you so much. When a good marriage partnership goes well it’s so nice. Enjoy.
So fun to watch this one. So felt bad for Forest however. Poor guy! It was so nice of those people to order the food for you! That was amazing.
This was a Fantastic Video! 🎉❤ I am so bloody grateful that you share your adventures to absolutely Surreal places with us for free!
Whoever had the inspiration of possibilities re an old oil rig's potential is / are Epic Visionaries!
I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ creations like this.
Blessings to all of the lovely, welcoming Oil Rig Crew and always to La Vaga crew and tiny humans. ❤🇨🇦
I have been following you for a longtime!
Best part of your series ever!
So happy for you and your family.
Hello from St.Pete FL
My son is three and absolutely loves watching your adventures especially when the camera is on Lenny and Darwin, he calls them his friends 😭❤️
This was so good and one of my favorites! It’s amazing to see the boys growing up so fast. They are so smart and well adapted. I was a master diver and I too forgot everything I ever knew after 1000 dives, thanks for saying how you felt about it. It gives me hope that maybe someday I can try it again. Underwater experience brought back so many memories.
Thank you ...thank you ...thank you 💞
Great upload timing! Love ya'll from New Orleans!
I went solo backpacking northern Borneo in 2011, found out about Sipidan and stayed at the cheapest dive lodge on the locals island. One of the best experiences of my life diving Sipadan; the crazy drop off, barracuda point.... blew my mind. Sad to see the degradation in the reef a decade later, but still looks amazing.
Wow! My family and I have been watching you guys for a while now and love you all and what you are doing! This has reignited the spark for me to get to Borneo and do Sipidan and Mabul! Been on the bucket list for a while! Thankyou! Big Love!💖
Darwin is on 🔥!
It’s fun to see how excited he gets and how much he talks🙂
Reminds me of the days of Lenny Cam🙂
Thanks for sharing the beautiful resort and the reefs. The marine life is amazing👍🏻👏🏻
Feel like I’m on vacation just watching your vids!! Love Forest’s holy shirt. Epic Diving! Lovely Oil Rig Dive Hotel! And that fast forward of Riley Sailing with ominous clouds at his back, so cool!
Perfect timing!!!
Thats gonna be so cool for the kids to see when they're big. Such a gift having your life documented that much
Love you guys, so inspiring life. That's why I'm writing this heads up: Please go north through Balabac-Palawan (best islands in Philippines), very safe. If you go up through Mindanao (Jolo/Basilan) then please cordinate with the Philippine coast guard, they are super friendly and have assisted boats going up that way. You will love Palawan-Cuyo Islands-Visayas-Siargao-Palau-Yap Island :)
Btw, I cherish anytime the boys are shown! And your so lucky to have Ellie, and Forest!Wow ! The awesome things you introduce us landlubbers to! Everything you ad to it, could easily be a documentary! Makes this 62 yr.old grannie a sailor!
Beautiful under water. I love it!!!
Thanks for sharing all the beauty in life. Lots of love and yes i feel too to set Forrest and Ellie in the Light. They are so precious. Have a good time till the next video.
I absolutely loved the underwater dive shots! It's entirely a different world down there. One that I feel very connected to. Thanks for bringing it to life. ❤️
Absolutely amazing video, once again. Thank you for taking us on your adventure and always keeping it interesting. You are all legends.
Five star oil platform is amazing. Whilst the anchor's dragging with your solo mate on La Vagabond. Always something. Great film!!
Another favorite video!! Always appreciate you taking us along!
I really enjoy your contents! 3 plus years, I think. But, I also adore your kids, specially how young Darwin is growing up!!! (Leny is cool and sweet, of course!!!)
What an amazing dive site, thank you for sharing ❤ and what an awesome group of people on the rig.
Your life experiences show us all what an exceptional world we live in, and you have an awesome crew and family to personally share it with along the way, and the kids are just a crack up with their comments 😂
Love the welcome when you got to the oil rig. Your boys are really delightful. That includes Riley, Elayna!
Another superb video…and educative. Thank you! 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑NZ

Absolutely epic diving!!! Thanks for sharing your dives! ❤❤❤
Loved this video. Outlook at the end kind of frightened a bit. Excited to see next video - as always - for years now. Love you guys!
Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for taking us along.
Loved this episode guys, as all of them. So cool that you got to go on a bit of a vacation on the rig, looked amazing!! Keep on having a Blast!! Fair winds and following seas.
Vicariously through you I'm diving...❤ Thank you. At 69 with COPD , I can only snorkel. I'm living on the the seaside of Thailand Gulf..
Many safe voyages..
Lenny don't hit your brother with a Wooden Spoon....... lolololololol.. Arguably the best line Riley has ever uttered. Top 10 at least
Sea life always makes me smile. Wish I could dive but being asthmatic it’s not a good idea. So thanks for sharing your adventure.
Great video. I love little Darwin’s voice. Kind of reminds me of Elmo in the best way❤ What a cool place to go diving.
The footage of the underwater dive is beautiful
hellloo you guys from cape cod MA😊😊 just wanted to tell you guys i cherish the moments me and my mom sit down to watch your videos and we have been doing it for years now!! we love you guys so much. 💖
What an adventure 😍 Video quality is super impressive as well. You guys are so inspiring. Watching brings me joy and an excitement for life when I tune into your videos. Safe travels

Wow, what a lovely mob🫶🏻
Love the clouds👍
Love how they repurposed that Rig!! Thanks for sharing!!⛵✌
seaventures dive rig deserves all 5 stars, they were amazing! another great episode everyone, viva slv!
Wow! This video was amazing! If you hadn’t of mentioned the camera casing being left behind, I wouldn’t not of even questioned it! All the filmography looked stellar and I enjoyed the underwater filming, it had a very inspired artistic feel to it!
How blessed we forget how beautiful Mother Nature is amazing footage guys❤❤
So many beautiful views. It must be surreal to be out there for real. The boys are such a treat. So cute!!!!
Absolutely love your content. Thank you guys for sharing this with us.
That underwater footage was epic!
Great Vlog! Had a huge smile on my face during your dive excursions though must admit taken back down to reality with the dynamite fishing. Still a very enjoyable video. The boys are just adorable.
Hope all are ok from the jump. Adding the rig to my bucket list! ♥
Great video, I enjoyed this one a ton.
Stunning! Excellent job you guys!
I agree Elana I have been drinking AG1 for some time now.
Awesome video! Thanks so much, guys. I hope Forest is feeling 100%. Seeing a flash of the clip when you were on the oil rig reminded me of your previous hair color, Elayna. That dirty brown with blonde highlights looked awesome, truly. That's not to say you're not stunningly beautiful with the current dark shade or even bald or with weeds, lol. Just giving my little take on how different the colors make you (or anyone) look. I think the last color uplifted your face and provided extra brightness. Hugs and love from Florida ❤ Lauren
Darwin is beautiful!! Speaks well for his age. I’m sure some came from being around his brother. Both sweet kids. Congrats
Beautiful to see pristine reefs in an insane world 🌍 May the waters of the spaceship heart flow clean & pure oncemore💦🩵🙏🏻🌈⚕️
Did you watch the vid? There was piles of dead coral. Maybe you should watch again without the rose coloured glasses.
The crew on the rig were wonderful. Lovely adventure. Awesome video. Thank you.
What a fantastic crew you had there. From your arrival to the buying of food for your vessel. They loved the kids. Hope ellies bum is better shame must have been sore from that height. Also you elayna with your thigh. Kudos to you both for doing that jump. Riley get your finger sorted out. Love you all ❤
Man! Riley is beyond ripped and Elana just keeps getting more beautiful every time I see her and the kids are adorable. What is this perfect family doing in a imperfect world!!
Another amazing program.Thankyou.
The dive was beautiful even with the other camera. This adventure was just added to my bucket list! Thanks for sharing✌️💜
That oil rig was amazing - what a cool adventure and thanks for sharing with us !!!
