CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR PATRON Erin O'herlihy!! Can you make it to Florida? Send us an email. Thanks so much for the support. After the tangled anchors drifting out to sea debacle last week we experienced last week, I sent everyone off to have some down tim...
Drifting out to sea, in 40 knots of wind, attached to another vessel by anchor chain. We had to be rescued by the coast guard that turned out to be an extremely old fishing boat. The Meltemi wind was blowing a steady 35 - 40 knots all day, we were safely a...
Woohoo! We made it through the famous Corinth Canal - Greece. The canal is 8m deep and excavated at sea level so it doesn’t need any locks. It took them 12 years to make it and it was first opened in 1893. The canal shaves off a 700km journey around the ...
Meanwhile, docked in Kefalonia - Greece. Join us as we fight off a mean storm and take a trip around the island where we visit the famous Melissani Cave and quite possibly the best beach in Greece! A beach that is also one of the beaches used in Captain Co...
https://shop-lavagabonde.com/ Ship Wreck beach, or Smugglers Cove as it’s referred to, has been a place on my bucket list to visit for many years now. This freightliner, the MV Panagiotis ran aground one stormy day in 1980 on the island of Zakinthos - Gr...

Riley landed his first Short Billed Swordfish in the Messina Strait. Looks like we'll have enough fish to last us a good few weeks, having also maybe fed some fellow cruisers 😁🐟 Cheers to catching our fish on La Vagabonde II.
Thank you to our fans P...
Sailing Sardinia has been an absolute treat. But, it was time to move on. Off to Sicily we go! We provision in a city called Olbia before heading off into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Join us for some random adventures onboard La Vagabonde. I’d like to thank Jame...
Yep. Something special happened onboard La Vagabonde. There was a proposal onboard. Join us in the north of Sardinia as we celebrate…

There's nothing like diving off your boat into a crystal blue Mediterranean ocean. Sailing the Mediterranean has exceeded our expectations thus far. Also, I certainly wasn't expecting to see a FLYING DINGHY fly past my window as I was having a shower onboa...
Join us with our first semi structured LIVE episode this fine Friday evening. Featuring Elaynas H2O News, this weeks hot recommended sailing channel, Matthieu video bombing on a dinosaur, and the list goes on. Thank you all for joining us. Until next time!...
Ever heard of the archipelago of La Maddalena? They’re a bunch of secret islands above Sardinia. We hadn’t either really, so we didn’t have much of an idea of what to expect. It was a rough sail getting there with our crew, Daniel, Destiny and James....
Riley always talks about how the only thing that should be dictating your sailing plans, are the weather and repairs. When you have a schedule to keep, more often that not, things just don’t like to run smoothly. We would have loved to hang out in Bonifa...

We sail the south western coast of Corsica to two really, really funny places. Ajaccio and Bonifacio. Ahhhh you’ve gotta love those days where things go right and you’re nothing but smiles and knock knock jokes. We have l...
There has been a lot of fish hunting lately here in the Med. Unfortunately, it has almost always ended with an empty handed, disappointed Riles swimming back to the boat. There is an alarming amount of over fishing going on here in the Mediterranean Sea. 9...
Yep, La Vagabonde reached 22.7 knots boat speed. We couldn’t believe it. With a max of 28 knots wind behind us from about 120 degrees, we surfed down one wave and then caught the next one in front of that. Before we knew it we were all looking at a 22.7 ...
Wooooooo. Get excited for the grande voyage ahead. We love you guys thanks for all the love and support in getting us this far!

We sail along the east coast of France, and discover a hidden underwater cave along the way. The colour of the delicious blue water in contrast with the red rocks was quite a nice sight to see. What a way to start the morning! We visit two magical anchorag...
Wooo. We’re free to leave the port and sail the rest of Europe! We reached 16.7 knots boat speed on our way over towards Marseille. The boy just wants to sail fast, all the time. But it’s cool. I don’t mind a bit of fresh air knotting my hair and win...
We’re back in the south of France for a few touch ups on La Vagabonde after our shakedown cruise. Only some minor alterations to be made. Overall, we couldn't be happier with how she's performed! A HUGE thanks to the team of Outremer for looking after us...
It was all hands on deck as I attempted docking La Vagabonde for the second time ever, in a marina with a cross wind. We sailed back up to the land of Croissants (France) after completing our shake down cruise around the western Mediterranean! It’s good ...
Congratulations to our fellow Patrons! We are looking forward to meeting and sailing with you lovely folks. Thank you all so much for the support. Our adventures and videos are made possible by you.
