Sailing up the west coast of Antigua with our pals Christian https://www.youtube.com/lostleblanc and Katy https://www.youtube.com/whatthechic has been swell (pun intended) until one morning when we woke up, fired up the engine keen to set off on a new adve...

The one week we don't want the bad weather, we get it. It's funny how that works. Christian and Katy join us on La Vagabonde...
The neck is all good but that seriously looks a bit wonky doesn't it 😂. I'm sure its fine. We're over the moon with the good news. Join us for propeller dramas, an interview with 3 ladies who spent 60 days rowing across the Atlantic and some adventures ...
It’s been 13 days that we’ve been out at sea for now and we’re starting to lose the plot. But we’re nearly there! Join us with some propellor dramas, devastating wine spillage and a bit of whinging from me (Elayna) as we get closer to land. It was ...
Being a bit useless in the sailing department I decided to pick up a camera and go to work there instead. This was the day before Elayna cut her hair so apologies for the out of sync. We were only going to show this to Patrons and then decided to share wit...
Happy half way day from us, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! We've come a long way and thing's seem to have taken a turn for the better out here. We celebrate with good food, wine, and a spontaneous decision to cut the locks that turns into a sacrifice...
#136 Join us days from anywhere as we try and figure out what to do about Riley's spinal injury. To say it was an emotional 24 hours is a huge understatement. It was on our minds the entire time and I kept re-living the experience over and over in my head ...
**SWEAR WORD WARNING** . This is my favourite video we have made. It bestirs in me both nostalgia and an overwhelming sense of anticipation/adventure. Let us know some of your favourite memories of Sailing La Vagabonde in the comment section! We spent week...
Ep.135 We prepare for the Atlantic Crossing in the Canary Islands and set sail in the pouring rain. We'd done nearly everything that needed to be done before we left and spirits were high as we lost sight of land... until something terrible happened.
Song...
Riley and Josje left me onboard by myself to go and hike a red hill on the island of La Graciosa. The wind picked up to 32 knots, gusting to 35 and the two boats next to me left to find shelter one having dragged anchor first. I’d stayed home to catch up...
Jump aboard for our 600nm from Spain to the Canary Islands. We’re greeted by dolphins, some crazy fog, birds and a little tuna that hung around the boat following us for days. Welcome to the land of cactus’s and dusty towns. We’re so happy to have ou...
https://www.facebook.com/sailinglavagabonde like us on Facebook to see what unseen footage Riley releases! Off we go, gybing out the notoriously busy Gibraltar Strait. Sea container ships galore... and La Vagabonde amongst the mayhem trying not to get in a...
Dear ladies and gentlemen thank you for entering the description section of dream job reality check. It is here that you will learn a little bit more about the video that is probably playing above.
Some things that I would like to highlight is that if you ...
After a spontaneous trip to the blue town, Riles and I crank the engine for Ceuta in no wind.. which means no sailing.. which means way too much free time out there. Join us for a dolphin party, a missed fish and good vibes all round. Have a fabulous Monda...
We sail west, along the northern Moroccan coastline. It’s all go go go right now, just making quick stops in every few ports so that we can make our exit out of the Mediterranean. New oceans are calling our names. We tie off the boat in another marina th...
We thought we were anchored at a ‘deserted’ island above Morocco until a boat came flying around the corner, 6 men in uniforms, one with a machine gun in hand, to tell us we had to leave… IMMEDIATELY. We had unknowingly jumped in the water for a swim...
This video sums up what an average sail on La Vagabonde across the sea is really like for us. With only two crew onboard, there is never a dull moment or time for boredom. We’re pretty much always busy doing SOMETHING. Our moods and energy levels are hig...
We go for a scooter ride around the island on what could fairly well be described as a lighthouse tour headed by Christian (the inspector). You don't see it in the videos but Logan absolutely refused to keep up with everyone and would arrive at least 10 mi...
After a moonless night at sea, we arrived in Menorca - Balearic Islands.

Bye bye to the lovely Josje and Tunisia. Checkout Josjes channel here: http://bit.ly/Ramatree and her blog here: http://bit.ly/Josjesblog-SLV Off we go, sailing upwind for a 260nm journey to Sardinia. On top of that, a broken engine upon our arrival means ...
It was our last day sailing at sea, before we’d be making landfall in Tunisia, a country in northern Africa. The wind picked up and for the last few hours we were absolutely hammering into the wind and waves with a bandaged up captain Riley, Josje the ma...
Ohhhh dear. Well I wasn't expecting to have to glue up my boyfriends cracked head with my friend Josje onboard, 50nm away from land. It definitely could have been worse. It goes to show how quickly things could go wrong and it doesn't even necessarily have...
Ep.122 Justyna, 22 years old, was miserable at university in Poland when something incredible happened. She saw an ad online of a couple wanting to sell their sail boat, but only to the RIGHT person. She took a chance and flew to Malta to go and see the bo...
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR PATRONS Marco-SAN, Riz and Maya, and Kerry Porter!! Can you make it to Florida? Send us an email. Thanks so much for the support. Meanwhile, Elayna who was waiting patiently for my arrival in Malta thought I was alone at sea. Houmaid...
