Sunny Days in the Bay (Elayna)

E4 (Daily Vlog 9 of 21) It was a sunny day. Hot even. Sorta. Myself, Abbey, Graham and Jac were a bunch of happy chaps. We jumped on a ferry and cruised over to the other side of the bay - Russell, to check it out! Song Credits: 00:54 Eli Blackshear: Train Station 02:26 Sunshine - Adam Yoo Addit...

Children, Wear a Life Jacket at Sea

R5 (Daily Vlog 8 of 21) So obviously a bit of safety information in here for the kids. To be extra cautious I decide not to sleep as I get closer to the only island I would encounter on this trip. This causes a few problems and perhaps a bit of delirium. We have the “Annoying thing of the day” segme...

Cry me a Waterfall

E2 (Daily Vlog 5 of 21)My day started off good, peanut butter toast for breakfast and a walk through Haruru Falls. Then an unexpected message from Riley saying he had left Tonga to begin his voyage! It was weird not being there with him to make sure he was well prepared and to wish him all the best ...

Using “fake numbers” to prevent a collision at sea. (potentially) Good move???

R2 (Daily Vlog 3 of 21) Just ironing out a few details here and gearing up before the 1200nm sail. I enjoyed making this one, hanging out with Kjell and Adrianne and getting LaVagabonde as close to perfect as I could. Also there is a bit of sea salt on the lens which you won’t want to miss out on. Q...

Doubt and worry before the huge event

Doubt and worry before the huge event

R1 (Daily Vlog 1 of 21) My first ever solo sail was about to begin! The closer I got, the more I heard people saying how tough the crossing can be. This became concerning. They were always talking about a crewed sailing vessel and some didn’t know that I was attempting to do it solo so didn’t hold b...

Man on trial for Murder flees our Anchorage by Yacht! (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 71

An abandoned, creepy looking yacht called the ‘Sea Oak’ that was covered in security tape, was anchored right near La Vagabonde in Neiafu - Vava’u, Tonga. The captain of the vessel, Dean Fletcher, allegedly killed his wife onboard in July of 2016. He was placed in a Tongan jail until one night when ...

Girl Stranded on a Deserted Island!

There I was, stranded on a tiny little deserted island in the archipelago of Vava’u - Tonga. However, I did do it to myself. I wanted to see what it would be like to be completely alone. I can’t remember ever being completely alone for longer than a day. EVER! That’s scary. And so were the wasps. E...

Island Hopping With a Broken Everything but that’s Cool [Ep. 70]

There is an endless list of jobs that needs to be done and fixed onboard most yachts, like, always. You could stay in one port FOREVER if you wanted, preparing your vessel for a particular sail or ​even a ​circumnavigation up to your standards… but at some stage, you’ve just gotta leave or you’ll ne...

We Finally Landed a Marlin! (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 68

It was a bit of a battle pulling this beautiful, majestic creature onboard just out of Tonga, but we finally did it! In the whole 30,000nm miles or so we have sailed around the world in total, we have hooked a good 10 massive Marlin that have all managed to get away (and take our lures), due to the ...

No Autopilot? No Problem. (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 67

I must say, the beginning of our 236nm sail from Niue to Vava’u - Tonga was a bit of a downer, considering the auto pilot had once again stopped working and this meant we would be hand steering for 2 days. Any old salt would have probably just stayed in Niue until it was fixed, but us kids decided t...

Drone Fail on La Vagabonde!! (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 65

Follow Riley on Twitter: WELL it was bound to happen. Boats and drones don't really mix well, do they? How do you even fly a drone of a rocking monohull? Or you just don't? Anyway. Join us on our 140nm sail from the magical Beverage Reef to Niue. We see our first Humpback Whales, and have...

Who Knew A Place Like This Ever Existed! (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 64

Wow wow and wow. We navigated through two reefs using an old chart we had found on the internet. Mix that with an overcast day and we were sorta pushing it... but we made it to the inside of Beveridge Reef! Completely ​uninhabited, ​with ​the clearest blue water you’ll ever see (even on an overcast ...

Putting New Sails to the Test (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 63

We got new sails! It's not easy ordering sails over email but Bob from Neil Pryde Sails was great to deal with. We put them to the test and the​ start to our sail to Niue (590nm​ west across the Pacific Ocean​) was a rough one. Poor Julian was as sea sick as they come and couldn’t go down below...

We quiz the pair of them on the pros/cons of what it’s like to circumnavigate the globe in this beauty. We also take care of a million an...

Subterranean Homesick Blues (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 61

We're so close to home! (yet still so far). Rarotonga - Cook Islands is a hot spot for the people mostly of New Zealand to visit, when they're in need of a little escape... and we can see why. The unprotected harbour wasn't too flash, so we spent most of our time exploring land instea...
