Bikini Photoshoot Surrounded by Stingrays! (#306)

We have guests galore at the moment! Ava, who has been helping me out with our Vaga Bella Swim project, brought her family to visit. We also had Andre and Iona crewing on board which has been invaluable during these challenging life decision making times. Lenny was loving the extra attention. The question remains, is he trans...

BOAT LIFE: Living from the Ocean

Join us back on Green Island. Catching fish by day and umming and ahhing about future life decisions by night. Lenny has gone on strike by refusing to take his shoes off. Or maybe he just really loves his shoes? What do you think? I'm not quite sure - haha!

Thanks for supporting this episode. We really appreciate it. 2021-05-17 08:51:16 +0000 UTC View Post

BOAT LIFE: We Ran Out Of Water..

Ever gone to fix something and it results into a bigger problem? Well that's where we're at with the water maker but in the middle of nowhere so we're on the search for getting it fixed and sourcing some more water in the meantime.

We catch up with OJ who taught himself how to make spearguns on YouTube. Pretty impressiv...

Lobster For Dinner! (#303)

Join us for a sail to Green Island. I'm not sure Lenny loved the journey but he was loving the destination. It was soo good to be back amongst lobster again. Now we just need to learn French so we can understand the water maker manual and with the outboard motor requiring maintenance, we're training to become olympic rowing p...

A Multiple Trip Down Memory Lane (Ep. 302)

Join us for quick trip to Galleon Beach. We catch up with Jack (Riley's cousin) and Nikki who you will remember from our 2019 Atlantic crossing.

Riley heads off for a 2 day trip to Redonda with his spearfishing b...

MOST ROMANTIC DATE EVER

Join us for a sail from Barbuda back to Antigua. Seasickness rears its ugly head again, this time for Lenny. It's something we're going to need to invest more time and thought into as it has been effecting our family more so lately.  We have been speaking with someone who is in an R&D stage which is really interestin...

A Family of Bangs!

We're back in our groove in the Carribbean. Riley has been loving life so much he keeps forgetting to take the camera! We have had a mask with a gopro attachment sent to us but it was re-packaged at least 4-5 times.. Getting gear sent is one of Riley's pet hates. It just always gets lost or doesn't arrive in time before we ne...

Episode 299

There are heaps of pros in sailing to the party. You can arrive when you want (allowing 6hr travel time), and you can bring your house with you. You can roll up with enough alcohol belowdecks to make old rum smugglers blush. We're sailing from Antigua to Barbuda with some good winds so we should make good time. 2021-04-12 04:14:29 +0000 UTC View Post

Swimsuit photoshoot for VBS and Our Baby Gender Reveal

We had a heap of fun with the photo shoot. The girls were amazing to work with and even Jack and Lenny chipped in. It's thanks to you all that I was able to get this off the ground. This project has been super challenging but it's also been so rewarding and I hope we can build it into something that continues for many years i...

Good Times in Falmouth Harbour [#297]

It's soooo good to be back together in Antigua, and we're gonna make the most of it. It's beautiful beaches and beautiful summer sunshine (for the most part). It means so much that we're back in a familiar port and a familiar area, it means we can properly relax and get to the good stuff. There are some really big things comi...

Reunited After 16 Days Apart

Join us for our final leg of the Atlantic Crossing where the crew have sailed from the Canary Islands to Antigua.

It was great to be reunited after 18 days of being apart It's great to be back in sunshine, clear warm water and a plethora of fish.

We hope you enjoyed this 4 part series of crossing the Atlantic once...

MID ATLANTIC SURFING AT 21 KNOTS!!!

Join us for part 3 of the Atlantic Crossing to Antigua! The boys really get into the groove with some favourable weather. Safe to say there's a fair contrast to a small village in the snow and sailing at 21 knots across the south Atlantic.

Check it out!

Thanks so much for your support. We will look to setup a live...

AN EMOTIONAL CROSSING

When you spend so much time together in such close quarters, you really notice when they're missing. Riley wasn't feeling himself during the last few months of Europe so it was great that he could relax with all the help on board. It certainly means less worrying for me when I can't be there. I'm sure he was missing my bread ...

Atlantic Crossing (Part 1)

It was sad goodbyes as Lenny and I flew out of the Canary islands whilst Riley, Jack and Andre do their final preparations for the Atlantic crossing. Sofia invited me to spend some time with her family in the french alps before I flew to Antigua to wait for La Vagabonde to arrive.

Stay tuned for more Atlantic crossing n...

BOAT LIFE: Lenny's Birthday Weekend (28 knots)

It's our baby boys 2nd birthday!!! I'm pretty sure these first two birthdays are more like parent milestones but Lenny is catching on to what they're about. First a truck, now a bike, we hope we're not influencing him away from the water. We might need to put some more thought into his next birthday - haha!
Riley was feel...

ONE WEEK to Prepare for 16 Days at Sea (Atlantic Crossing)

Join us as we sail down from Madeira to Tenerife. Jack and Andre join us on board to prepare for the Atlantic crossing back to the warm weather, clear water and fish galore. We're excited but there's lots to do before the boys were ready to go. I (Elayna) was more than happy to sit this one out. Pregnant, seasickness, toddler...

Finding a REFUGEE BOAT at sea 😢 so sad.

What a crazy week! This is not one of our normal videos and not what we expected we'd be doing when we arrived exhausted into port after a big sail. There was only a few hours after waking up and I was back out in the Atlantic. Can I just say the refugee situation is a very complex one and between the 3 of us, I mean Lenny is...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.. (#289)

Join us for an up and down few days. The ups of exploring places like Porto Santo in the beautiful sun and the downs of some difficult sailing whilst pregnant, feeling seasick, homesick and stuck on board with a screaming toddler - haha! It's funny now but oh my goodness, I don't know how I survived that trip. The ups definit...

We’re so close to launching our swimwear line, which a lot of you would already know is 100% for charity and made of 100% recycled fabric. You will be the very first people to have access to the preorder webpage! I’m so damn excited and so so in love with these designs 💙🥺⚓️
