Join us for our last few days of living a domesticated life, before we get confirmation that we can SET SAIL!! In this episode, we make the most of our time left in our beautiful villa before moving back onboard. All of the open space and fresh air has done wonders for us, Lenny in particular. He has been in his element, wand...

We were very fortunate to receive an offer from a fan to get a break from the marina for 10 days to their vacant airbnb. This place reminded me of a Romance Novel, "a house of artists", it was the perfect getaway to inspire some new creative thinking.
Congratulations to Lain Payner who is our 3rd longest supporting pa...
Whilst La Vagabonde is still locked into the marina, we try exploring a few destinations by car. Andre takes quarantine precautions to a whole new level - see it to believe it haha!
If you've seen our last few videos, you would have heard us talking about our small meet up in the Azores when it's safe and permitted to d...

Whilst we had the extra time stuck in Lagos we had the opportunity to reflect on some of our favourites times in the Bahamas. You may have heard Riley mention of TPS (The Perfect Spot). He wrote an article a while back called 'TPS Report'. Che...

Don't get me wrong, we have lived life in isolation before. But having to stay on your boat and not be able to leave for an unknown amount of time is a new experience. I'm sure you can all relate to the craziness created from staying at home. We got a bit silly in this one - hope it brings you a smile. I'm sure you can guess ...

A new beginning! We've moved back onboard and we're nearly ready to set sail. Well, at least that's what we thought before things went crazy with COVID19.. We have a heap of jobs in and around the boat to start fresh for a new season of sailing, which we're so excited for. ⛵️⚓️ Join us for some salty adventures in bea...

The scariest few weeks of my life so far. Lenny experiences anaphylactic shock from eating peanuts. I'm so glad we found out he had allergies while we were on land. More info in the video. Happy to say Lenny is back to his cheeky happy self and we've got our Epipen for future adventures.
25 hour transit flights can be t...

Firstly, to those who have sent through their videos over the last month - Thank you so much! We love seeing your faces and some of the creativity that has come through has been very entertaining. 13 videos in total which has included anything from talented solo guitar pieces, car karaoke, pirate costumes, family band, use of...

I've always had a keen interest in the Sydney to Hobart Race. It's considered to be one of the great sailing events around the world. It came about talking to a friend of a family members friend who was crewing on DareDevil. After a number of conversations back and forth and figuring out the requirements, we were able to make...
2020-04-28 03:13:16 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, so sorry we've had a couple of go's at doing this live stream but the connection isn't steady enough. We packed up and tried to move spots, but it's not better. We're thinking we will pre record the video with your questions and upload ASAP maybe 1-2 hours. We are out in the Algarve country side and the internet is ...

As you might know, we spent a heap of time sailing and living off the land in the Bahamas. We've been digging into our archives lately, during lock down. We really wanted to do a 'best of' show reel, mostly showing our attempts of self sufficiency. We were new to using a polespear, the traditional Bahamian primitive method of...

Hey hey! A few weeks have gone by and we haven't moved very far since we last spoke but we have internet and there's plenty of people at home at the moment so why not right?
We'll update you on what we've been up to and what the horizon looks like for us but if you have any other topics for conversation, throw them belo...

Join us on board La Vagabonde for our final leg of our sail down to Lagos with our patron Andre, to meet the crew at the Sopromar Boat Yard. After our last minute dash across The Atlantic, we needed somewhere to store La Vagabonde for the winter and Hugo from Sopromar was kind enough to offer assistance.
We've cal...

Welcome back to Europe! Join us on board for a pleasant sail from Lisbon to Sines. Meet Andre, a patron we met during our time in Lisbon. We were lucky to have him onboard helping us sail south on our way towards Lagos. Having a natural sailor who knew the local area and spoke the language made things infinitely easier. ...

Join us for our last sail in the USA. We actually both come to the realization that we still use "Never Eat Soggy Wheetbix" to remember North East South West. I'm sure there's a heap of variations that you were taught at school?
It was when filming this video, we received confirmation we were crossing The Atlantic with...
It appears as if we've been in isolation for years now....... we were well trained for the what was about to emerge. Join us as we were, in the stunning Chesapeake before the entire world shut down.
Only one more episode of USA before we jump across to Portugal. Thank you to everyone we met in USA for makin...

We just spoke about making a music video compilation in our live broadcast. We would love your entries to mix into ours, to help ourselves and others get through this difficult (and boring) time in isolation.
If you’d like to be a part of it, here’s what to do.
1. Record a video of yourself or with friends an...

Join us for a sail to Annapolis and explore what the great sailing town has to offer. After attending the Annapolis Boat Show in October, we had a list of recommendations that went for miles. These are just some of the ones we picked out. In just a few days we managed to really squeeze in a heap.
We've recently been tol...

Join us and Riley's friend David as we continue to sail the Chesapeake. David would constantly remind us on the way and during our time in St Michaels that this was where his favourite movie 'Wedding Crashers" was filmed. He was very excited. This was a really fun relaxing trip and it was great to have a friend on board that ...

Sail the Chesapeake Bay with us! We pick up Riley's friend Dave from South Australia and head to St Michaels. We have a few boat dramas and injuries along the way. Haha - oops!
Ps if you haven't tried the Chesapeake Blue Crab, you're going to have to change that 🦀 🤤
Enjoy!

It looks like SOMEONE will be cleaning the whole boat for an entire year 😂
Join us as we sail through the Chesapeake and Delaware canal and sail under bridges (and make stupid bets). We're nearly in the Chesapeake Bay!

How did this happen? How did we get here?
It's the first time I've thought about this, as if I were a stranger looking at our situation for the first time.. with totally new, fresh eyes. Of course, it would never have happened without your support so thank you for making it possible.

After a good nights sleep in a nice warm bed, we were keen to get back to La Vagabonde to reminisce the biggest sail of our lives so far. One of the biggest challenges out on the water is the decisions you have to make, each one, the potential to have major consequences. Many of these, I kept from Elayna...until now. Th...
