We've never sailed to a place where we haven't seen plastic in the ocean. We are very concerned about plastic and plastics effects on our oceans and wildlife.

A 25+ knot wind day practicing manoeuvres for our ‘How To’ videos coming soon, resulted in a broken gooseneck (don’t try that one if you can avoid it 😄). Any guesses as to who it was? Join myself, Riley, Steffen our German friend and the lovely Ma...
After getting the weekend off of volunteer work due to a no fuel situation in Barbuda and also having some bad weather on its way, we are forced to sail back to Antigua for shelter. We try to make the most of our time with a bunch of mundane jobs/chores th...

Riley, myself, and two other boats drop the pick in southern Barbuda to volunteer in the clean up after the devastation of hurricane Irma. It was a real eye opener having spent time in the town, talking to the locals and seeing how progress on rebuilding t...
Join us in the breath taking crystal blue waters of Barbuda as we take on Sharks, Lobster and Marlin! Days where we seem to spend more time wet than dry are our favourite days. We also explore an abandoned hotel which was pretty eerie. Shout out to our ama...
Caution: This is not our standard episode as well as being political but we would like to give the people of Barbuda a voice as they're currently being ignored. There is a plan to take over Barbuda. Join us as we don our investigatory journalist hats for t...
Upon arrival to this new island, we were completely wow'ed. We already have a good feeling about Barbuda and we've barely seen the place yet. Riley joins his mate George for a spearfish and I agree to drop him off in the boat and go back to Cocoa Bay aroun...
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...
