The Tale of the Three Big Fish. Ep.180

Hey everyone,

Riley here. Elayna is busy attending to Lenny so she's got me posting this week. We had a great day in this episode. I enjoy a successful spearfish including the two nice sized hogfish whilst the girls explored the island on golf buggies. We cooked up the hogfish and invited a few friends on board.

It’s not ALL about the destination.. What a Journey! [Ep. 179]

Join us for a flashback to the past, on our sail up to the Berry Islands. One thing we've realised since we started travelling is that its really not all about the destination... it's about the journey. All the struggles, the mistakes, the sleepless nights. Those are what make it an adventure. Those times of struggle are what...

Days by the Sea, oh how's the Serenity.. Ep. 178

There's nothing better than catching your own seafood, cooking it up on the beach to share with friends, early morning yoga and frolicking around in crystal clear water until the sun goes down. 

How many pieces of Elayna's cutlery will it take for this spearfishing experiment to be shutdown? :)

Thanks for su...

Life's a Grind in the Tropics Ep.177

It was a two day event changing the oil myself on anchor. Had I had the correct tools it would have taken a couple of hours but I didn't have them yet as Outremer did the first oil change etc for free back in France as part of their service for new vessels. I made a list on Amazon and I'll go and pick it up next time I'm in t...

Gloomy Days Onboard.. Freediving Pregnancy Scare! Ep. 175

It's never a good feeling experiencing strange pains whilst anchored miles away from the nearest hospital. We went freediving and because I haven't been diving deep or for too long I volunteered to drag the dinghy through the water as we go spearfishing. This job can sometimes be a bit of a workout, but nothing I would have t...

Trapped in a Circle of Coral Reef! [Ep.173]

Having snuck into our spot at high tide it seemed far less treacherous than when it dropped later that afternoon and we were completely surrounded by coral reef. I would get up on deck and have a look around and just slowly shake my head every half an hour or so. We decided to tie off the stern to a mooring ball so as to be h...

A few days at sea, just Riley and me. We anchor in the middle of the Great Bahama Bank in the flattest, clearest water in the whole freaking world!!

My First Original Song: "The Things in my Room"

This is an original song of mine. It tells a story from my childhood, which I expand on in much greater depth in my upcoming book I’ve been working on that’s yet to be released (we will be sending a copy to you guys when it does!!). I also wrote a short bio many years ago on our 2018-11-08 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Time to go Hunting. Our Freezers are Empty! [Ep. 168]

Meanwhile in the Bahamas, we're on a mission to fill our freezers onboard. We've been in the city for a while now and it's so great to be anchored in crystal blue waters and doing what we really love once again. Feel free to join Riley and I onboard for a pretty chilled episode, mostly under the surface.

Thanks so much ...

3D Scan of Baby Vagabonde!

Hey family. I recently had a 3D scan done so I could send some photos to Riley back over in the USA. Here is the face of our little angel. That's his foot right next to his chin hahaha.
