    As a guy who’s watched RUclips since I was a little boy, spanning every category and intent imaginable, I’ve learned that some can edit well, some film well, some can pick and choose just the right things to share, some only show the exciting bits, some earnestly attempt to share a feeling, some teach well, some connect with their audience well, but I can honestly say that you guys, (and if Elayna still does all the editing especially speaking to your work) have absolutely and holistically mastered every facet of telling a story through video. You have blurred the lines between it all and control it like it’s a paintbrush. And you guys make amazing art.
    You should be incredibly proud of your work. Never have I seen a more beautiful telling of a life.
    I truly believe this is the most eloquent, balanced, transportive, and passionate storytelling on this platform.

    This was the most enjoyable video you've ever done! It felt like being there, well done to all of you.
    It's odd because I don't really care for kids on a regular day, but Darwin has absolutely stolen my heart. He seems to be the most joyful, laid-back yet cuddly creature ever. He does have his cranky moments, but he's so -go-with-the-flow charming and those eyes and smile are just too much to resist. Both of you seem to have the parenting thing down so well, not afraid to correct when needed but also not hovering and controlling every move they make. It's refreshing to see such a healthy relationship between all of you and how easily you integrate having other crew on board, making everyone feel like part of the family.

I just think that I owe you guys an huge thank you, for you have been played a part in raising me with your videos. I have watched every single one from the beginning and brought with me your values and learnings and I am forever grateful for that. What your videos bring to the world is something else. It is hard work but effortless and it is beautiful but you show the rough parts and it is fun but it is also calm and it is all over the place sometimes but it has a story to tell as well and no other creator has this perfect balance that makes it impossible not to love what you do and your videos. I can't wait for my own adventure like this one day, all inspired by you💙.

I know that it isn't realistic though. It's like Aemon said when he and Bec were there; you guys aren't just filming and editing videos for a living like most vloggers, you also have what is especially a house that requires a full time jobs worth of attention to maintain and utilize, AND you have a toddler and an infant.

    No movie production could have replicated the emotions of fear/excitement nor the physical rains/lightening/thunder film in the first person experience, as you have done. It's great that as viewers, we know you guys well enough to know that this experience was extraordinary, but manageable given your expertise. Same when Elayna called out for Riley with urgency in the murky water. Bravo. Every time I tune in, I am impressed. Your videography is unequalled. Your pursuit of adventure is beyond most people can dream of, but just one family video like this one would be a treasure for most of us. Love Lenny's moments of discovery.

    Thank you for bringing us along on your ‘extended’ sailing - it was beautifully done as always and the pace of life (real adventures mixed with fun and calm, family times) was refreshing to see. I like these longer videos, keep them coming. Been a long time follower (years), but not one to comment so much, but thank you again for doing what you do, it’s amazing and real. Safe sailing and see ya’ll soon. 🤟🏻☀️🤗

    The absolute raw and honest vibe from Riley’s monologue after what was clearly a night of no sleep. From the messy hair to the undertone of serene, humble understanding of his human power. Very cool scene.

    My first time commenting after all these years. I love, love loved this style of video. More please. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for inspiring us. My husband and I have just purchased our first sailboat and are learning to sail. We hope one day to cross paths with you and thank you in person, and our Daughter wants to meet Lenny! LOL!

    You guys know I've been with you almost from the start, binge watching the first seven or eight episodes and always hoping for more. Elay, if this is your idea of creating what you would like to watch, I think you hit it right out of the park. And I'm sure a lot of others will think the same thing. Riles, you're a fantastic dad, let the camera roll. Turning a crying baby into a laughing baby is an art all unto itself. And both of you, you so compliment each other. I was touched by the intimate little snippets. You love each other, you love the boys, you love the life, and thankfully for us, you love to share it. Never be afraid to show love. Bravo Zulu!

    When Riely was diving the murky Current Cut, his apprehension was evident in the way that his “head was on swivel” constantly looking around for sharks in the gloom. Good ominous music selection. I really enjoyed the “travelogue” videos that hit on history and culture, but these long-form videos are much more relaxing to watch.

    Love these longer vid! Any more time spent with la vagabonde fam is the best!
    Would love to see a video on what you guys eat in a couple of days. We've seen meals, but the actual logistics and 3 meals of feeding 4 adults and 2 kids. I imagine it would be no quick task for each meal and take a lot of food to feed the team! Cheers guys!

    I Said it Last Tine and imma say it again: I LOVE These Long episodes! Loved seeing more of the sailing (as in putting sails up and down and pulling ropes and such - seeing how it all workes.) And i also think this episode portraied a lovely chemistry between the two of you Riley and Elayna! All of it Made me feel happy and relaxed. Also I would love seeing a video that you, elayna, would wanna watch. I am very interested in seeing what that would be lol

    Some creators find "their rhythm " when editing and stick to it. What I love about SLV is the ability to change rhythm. You can't be a good film maker without heart and you can't edit without musicality.
    Your storytelling is what keep me coming back for more. I laugh, cry and learn.

    Actually, I personally enjoy it when you have visitors on the boat. I really loved the episodes with Eamon and Beck, It's also enjoyable when you show the crew and also love when you spend a few nights at various places on different islands and show the culture and people there. Keep up the great videos! 👍👻

  • @svbelafonte5854

    This video is so much in just under an hour. As I sit at my deck in Green Bay Wisconsin I feel as if I've been transported there with you out on those islands. The struggles, the weather, the food issues....all of it. The sense of humor between all crew members, and the kids as well, is heart warming. You're out there living a life most of us can only dream of. Thank you for sharing so much of it with the rest of us. This isn't content. This is life. I was honestly laughing almost hysterically on and off at some of the silliest things in the video. Riley being a complete goof with the upside down footage. It was reminiscent of some of the really early on videos like when he tossed a flying fish at Elayna's bum. lol You're certainly doing things right with this crazy thing we call life!

Yup, THIS is Sailing LaVagabonde ... now, as a family and growing community on the seas of this beautiful earth. More please!

    Would like to see episode(s) on disaster drills, perhaps dramatizations of MOB, Fire, holed, sinking, pan pan, SOS, life rafting, stranding on deserted island... Was thinking that the life raft could be donated for second use activities afterwards. Would be interesting to know what second uses other could come up with as well. The challenges of the kids in such scenarios would be interesting to see in detail. Also you started in on a really big subject communications on the vessel and roles, it would also be nice to see more details, do you use key phrases to signify specific meaning, i.e. "imperative", "that's an order", "no delay".... What words convey exactly what level of action/response. That is very challenging and deep subject.
