- GOOD BYE LA VAGABONDE. Wow, what a journey it has been. She's shown us many beautiful countries and taken us to places we never thought we'd visit. But best of all, she's been home. It was an emotional few days, but the excitement for this new chapter in our lives kept the tears from falling. See you later lover. Hello France!! Stay tuned.... a huge thanks to Port Whangarei Marina for being legends and especially to Brad for helping us out portwhangarei.com

I am so stoked to have my music featured in these last few videos and especially for the start of this video, what a moment putting that beautiful boat in the water for the first time! good on you guys, and thanks a thousand million times
Riley, thanks for all the interesting travels that you have taken this 88 yr old along with you.
Elayna not only were you a joy to listen to you were also one hell of a girl ship wise. Thank you for the journey with Riley and La Vagabond. . Poroporoaki kia whakatau tatou ano aku hoa. Kia rangi puru me hau ataahua whai koe i runga i tou waka hou. Arohanui
Great video! Highs and lows, well played. Looking forward to the new adventures!
sad to see her go.... but like you said, the New is exciting! Good luck with all that - and we're all curious to hear what your plan for the old one is. in time, we'll find out...
Sailing La Vagabonde You've got a crew on her haven't you ;).
it would be so nice to see the two together sailing with drone footage
thats would have been great!
*Sailing La Vagabonde* if you guys could sail la vagabonde to southern arizona, i'll buy it and pay for your flight back home....
.
AZ DONALD I don't think Arizona's near the ocean but a good offer...lol 😁
La Vagabonde 1, You took not only Elayna and Riley on many adventures, you took a lonely artist who lives in the mountains of Montana on many adventures to exotic Islands and ports. Thank you for your faithful service...
Now Elayna and Riley, we follow you on new adventures on a new La Vagabonde
Guys.. this is why I watch! (and I am sure many many many more like me!) Home made video style, feeling real and alive. I really enjoyed watching this and being able to "live" along with you a little. Wishing you all the best and hope to see the new living style soon.
I found your CZcams Channel by accident. I have been watching for months now. I am from the Oregon Coast and spent some time on the water commercial fishing. The sailing thing, WOW What a switch! I am very interested in seeing your Catamaran adventure. What I like is the honesty of your videos. Keep up the great work!
The saddest thing. I punched in the name "La Vagabonde" on "Marine Traffic's" website and find La Vagabonde sitting high and dry in Whangarei Harbor, New Zealand. Then I saw this video. Tears are flowing for the good and faithful boat "La Vagabonde". But it is on to new adventures for my favorite sailing couple. I am eagerly awaiting the video's of the new "Cat" and all that room it has!. I will need it's hull no, so I can track it and live vicariously though it as well as through Riley and Elayna.
Good thing I was cutting onions while watching this one. Thanks for taking the time to share your last moments on board.
The end of a chapter. For you guys and I'm sure a lot of your viewers.
Can't wait to see you two fully moved in and comfy in your new home!
Fair winds.
Thank you very much for using our music in here!
Ahh, La Vagabonde has been good to you both. The last page in the chapter has come to a close. You will have very fond memories that will last your lifetime. Now, go forth and conquer!!! A new adventure with unknown avenues is now around the corner for you. Jump with both feet forward and have the time of your life! I look forward to seeing what unfolds on the stepping stones of your life. May the four winds, always, blow you safely home.
I am also excited for you. Following you two has been a pleasure for my family and I. I am not sad that you have moved on to another vessel. La Vag will be fine. I know you will take care of her. The adventure was always with the two of you. Those of us who have watched you sail freely from your first vids will always cherish the old boat, but we will also move on with you. There it is. With you. We love you guys, and we will look forward to new seas, new waves, new wind, and many more adventures.
What an emotional episode, even for those of us at home. I felt it from the meet and greet on. Must be both wonderful and daunting that you touch so many lives with your videos. Still amazed that over 3 years ago an Aussie wandered into a bar in Greece and talked the most beautiful, smart, strong and adventurous girl in the place to go off with him. Well done. Sorry that an old guy in Salem Oregon will probably never get to a meet and greet. Till the next time then, be safe.
It is rather odd how one can become emotionally attached to basically a piece of machinery. It has happened several times to myself. Our Cessna 172 then our Beechcraft Bonanza. We took so many vacations in them, flew to funerals for family members. It was emotional to get rid of them because of all the happy and sad memories we had with them. You all are lucky that you have videos as you do. We didn't have things like this back in the 70's and 80's. Just 35mm pictures.
79 episodes on La Vaga. And they were all great. Thanks.
She is such a beautiful sailboat, you guys took really good care of her.
I really enjoyed watching your adventures, and look forward to seeing the new home/Cat soon!!!
Safe travels and Hugs!! 🐳🐟🐋🐠🌏⛵
I will miss your old and original digs (boat) but enjoy the incredible new Cat that awaits! Love tuning in to your channel! Maybe one day we can have you on our Toronto based podcast!
long time follower, first time commenter. just want to say THANK YOU for taking me along with you on your first leg of your journey and looking forward to your many videos to follow on the next one. its been a great experience to follow you and watch you grow together. im on boat #5 and they say the two happiest moments of a boat owners life are when they buy and sell the boat.
It's amazing how you get attached to a boat. When I was a kid we had a little Catalina 27 that we kept on a lake. When I turned 15 & got my drivers license my parents would let me & my girlfriends go to the lake alone. It was about a 2 hours drive from home & we did maybe 2 weekends a month & I spent 3 months over one summer living on it when I was 16. It was my first taste of living away from my parents but it still wasn't my primary home & I still got so attached to that boat.
That was over 30 years ago & I still have fond memories of that summer. lol I look at photos of old Catalina 27's & I am amazed I lived on that thing for 3 months. I wouldn't do that now but even that little 27 had a stove, oven, icebox, sink, a bathroom & a comfy bed. I bathed in the cockpit so I had everything I really needed. That boat was part of my life, at the stage of my life when I started to become independent & I remember it very fondly.
Boats have a way of doing that, of becoming part of you & I guarantee, you will forever look back on your time on LA Vagabond with fondness & you will always miss her, just a little. Best Wishes & Fair Winds for the opening of the next chapter of your life.
I'm so happy for you guys! I had such a shitty day, but seeing somebody happy for the dream they've accomplished and how happy you're it just made me smile :)
Wow, believe it or not, I also shed a tear or two.... so sad to see the end of chapter one. Yay, chapter two about to take off, can't wait for the first sail on the new boat, so exciting. Well done you two, you are an inspiration. Riley, I dare you to have a haircut and shave off your moustache just for the first few episodes of the new chapter on Vaga II
Sailing La Vagabonde Ha ha, no moustache no Riley..... love it
ahaha, the last line. Always wondered what a different haircut would be like on RW! Doh then you would have to get a New Boat again, helllllo the logo is painted on both sides, maybe you could scrap the hair off the logo though, hmmmm And I'd have to get new SLV stickers and coasters. Big Decision Riley!! :)
Gosh, you guys almost had ME in tears! Bittersweet ending to this chapter of the story, but so grateful and excited for the promise the new chapter holds!
You two make me smile in this rough ole world. Thank you and might I add??? Put a ring on that beautiful lady. Ha. Good luck.
Im so happy for the two of you.... needless to say... I'm with you in heart. Please excuse me for not being a Patreon at this time... but being retired... and still a Caribbean sailor of 15 years, now living back in Mississippi, USA... I go back to the Islands to Bareboat the BVI's with CYOA out of Charlotte Amalie, St.Thomas, USVI, as often as possible.
You two, have kept the romance of Sailing alive that I'll always love so much, and was blessed to experience so many times on Jeanneaus and Fountaine Pajot Cats, while living in the Carribbean in St.Thomas, USVI.
"Fair Winds and Following Seas"... to the new LaVagabond and the two of you... I'll always follow your adventures as you embark again, living onboard in a Sailing paradise. Thank you and congratulations. I love what you do... and the way you care about each other. At 70 years Young... I still call my beautiful wife Susie... my Deck Fluff!
Hi guys, I am
Cesar, we met in Los Roques Venezuela, your trip really is an
inspiration for us lovers of the sea, sea that we must love and respect,
only this way we will preserve our legacy on the planet, thanks a
thousand for telling us your story And we hope to see La Vagabonde new here because we want to be part of its new stage
Hey Kids, Here in the States rain on moving day is a sign of good luck, a blessing from the sky. So you have been and are blessed. Looking forward to the day you and SV Delos sail into the same port. Love you, love your lives.
My dream, Guzzwell '47 - "Sunrise", sailed away to Oz a few years ago so that I could pay for my son's education. I know the feeling of saying goodbye to the memories, blood, sweat, and tears of a fine vessel ... I hope there will be another in my future. Best wishes on your upcoming voyages on La Vagabonde II. I can't wait to watch. Aloha - Dale
Can't believe the day is finally here! I'm years behind but so emotional and excited for the two of you!
It was so exciting to watch LV sail to new places and new adventures with the two of you. I will be waiting for round two. The next 3 years. Good Luck.....
Really! I hope someone as passionate as the two of you takes that girl back to sea. Looking forward to your adventures on the next vessel.
After binge watching Episodes 1 through 79, thoroughly enthralled with your adventures on the good ship LaVagabonde I couldn't help but shed a tear or three watching you leave the home you so kindly shared with us. A little sad but can't wait to catch up with your new adventures on LaVagabonde II. May the wind be at your back and you sail safe and sound! Cheers and thank you for sharing!
Well I have a grand idea about what could be done with LA VAGABONDE but in case I have guessed it I will keep my idea to myself for now. Hope that what I am thinking is what your plans for the boat are. Can't wait to see the adventure begin all over again.
Very emotional video.....but the show must go on...Congratulations on your new boat and a life full of new adventures and wonderful places that you beautiful couple will share with us. May God Bless the Vagabonde II
La Vagabonde One sure appeared to be in ship-shape. Bon voyage to the new sailors!
Realy sad to see la Vagabond go. I'll realy miss her heeling monohull. There is just something about monohulls that do it for me. I guess I'll have to get used to the catameran because I'm way to addicted to you two to not keep following your adaventures! Fair winds to you both and may Lavagabond II bring as much pleasure as the original Vaga did! 😊
You mean *sailboats, all sailboats are monohull, anything else is either a catamaran or a trimaran. And yes, sailboats are very much special, no getting away from that.
La Vaga treated you guys well! Such good memories but I am excited for the adventures on La Vaga II.
I think I cried a little to much during this episode.
Since I've found your CZcams Channel just recently, I just had to watch from the beginning and see where it all started.
Seeing you leave the boat now made me cry a bit. Even though it's more than 3 years ago already. :D
Can't wait to see your adventures on the new boat and catch up to finally catch up to the episodes happening right now.
Your new boat looks amazing. Can't wait to see the new videos!
I'm so happy for you guys. After 5 years and 3 back surgeries I can honestly say your channel kept me from just flat out losing it most of the time. Thanks for everything you guys share and allow us to live vicariously from the confines of my room.
Au revoir La Vagabonde ... we'll look forward to seeing what her new adventure entails. Can't wait to follow you on your new absolutely amazing catamaran!! Safe journeys.
Great to see the new boat being built it looks like a beauty. I can't wait to see more of her. Kinda of sad seeing you two leave the old boat after so many years. I'm sure she'll find a good new home and be well taken care off.
ah a sad episode, bit like the closing seen in friends when everyone leaves the flat for the very last time. thanks for the best 79 episodes of sailing on youtube, the very first sailing blog i ever watched. look forward to the new boat and new adventures.
I have watched all of your videos. I'll miss the boat too. But I am looking forward to watching all of your new adventures on the new boat!!!!
Been subscribed to SLV for about a year now and it's been a joy to see you guys travel the world on La Vaga. She will be missed! Can't wait to see your new Catamaran! Thanks for being so awesome guys!
What a treat to find a video that I had previously missed! Thank you!
I am pretty sure that the colourful (yes we spell colour with a U in Canada) dinghy sailboats at the start of this video are Australian-made Access Liberty sailboats. An incredible little keel boat designed for disabled sailors. I chaired a disabled regatta few years ago and we had 10 of those boats come all the way from Australia to participate in our event in Toronto Canada back in 2009.
Congratulations once again! Can not wait to see the New Catamaran. Big fan of Outremer. Cheers!
Daniel SouthFlorida I look forward to learning more about Outremer. I've been looking at Lagoons and Leopards up to now.
Sure Deal Antares, Fountain-Pajot and Outremer for me are the top Ownership Catamarans. I really like the (liveaboard) layouts on the Lagoon and Leopard but I feel they would be much better for Chartering. Price, Performance and the Weight are important to me. They are all capable Blue Water Catamarans. It's all about what works the best for you. Performance wise the Outremer is at the top of my list. Most likely will go with Fountaine Pajot. We shall see. Cheers!
Daniel SouthFlorida - I'm going to take a much closer look at all 3 of the brands that you've recommended. I intend to buy my cat in the next 18-24 months. Price, performance and weight is important to me also and I think that you're saying that these 3 brands provide the best balance for your needs, including value for money.
Is it easy to get parts all over the world for those 3 brands? In regards to maintenance and re-sale value are these 3 similar to the Leopard and a Lagoon?
Thanks for sharing your insights I appreciate it!
Sure Deal Fedex is my parts delivery service as it is for many others. Gotta get in there and do the research and see what is best for you and your needs. I would imagine any Owner version is a better resale than a Charter version. They both have their pro's and con's. There is a Catamaran out there for everybody. Check out Just Catamarans and The Catamaran Company in Fort Lauderdale. That is where I began my research and of course youtube after I attended a couple boat shows. Happy Hunting. Cheers!
Daniel SouthFlorida - awesome, thank you!
Been hooked since episode 1.....up to here in a week...happy sailing....don't change the format guys!
Best of luck on your new adventures!!!! Look forward to living vicariously through you 💜😀
It will be great to see you in your new home. Best of luck.
Oh do I know the feeling of saying good bye to a boat. It was a sad day when I sold off my beneteau. But since you are getting a new cat, you are well off my list of people to feel sorry for. Wish you the best.
So happy for you two. Future is there for the taking. Only adventurers will grasp . You two are IT! ☀️🌬⛵️🏝🍹
Omg, I cried when you guys were saying goodbye to LaVagabond. I just started binging on your channel the past week and watched you guys grow and evolve with each episode. You guys are so likable and down to earth, its no wonder you have so many followers. The best of luck to you and yours x
I'm addicted to you guys. You leaving La Vagabonde was tough for you guys has it was for us. I'll try to be up to date soon. AWESOME what this beautiful company did for you. Congrats on your achievements.
Sadness is understandable when realizing that this ship has brought you guys safely through thousands of miles of ocean waves in all kinds of weather. It has been your shelter, your home, even your friend while alone at sea. There would be something terribly wrong if you didn't feel some sadness.....shoot, even at a distance, I or any sailor can feel some of that lost.
A new beginning of friendship with a different kind of sailboat is about to begin and I hardly can wait......
Sad to see you guys leave La Vaga. Good luck on your new adventure. I'll definitely be watching.
I can't wait to see the new boat. Good luck and good sailing.
I hope La Vaga gets back on the blue. Love that little boat.
I am really looking forward to the next chapter in both of your lives and those you come into contact with
Have fun and be safe folks! Can't wait for you two to get sailing on your new boat! Cheers....
Great video, sad to see the last of La Vaga. The funniest thing though... you zoomed in on the white board message and I saw my mouse pointer zoom across my monitor. But it looked funny, so I moved my mouse around, it looked fine BUT it was in another part of the screen than where I saw it go. WTF? I then rewound the video and THAT'S when I noticed the FLY on the wall in La Vaga! Damn thing flew across the image as you filmed. Gave me a good laugh, made me think I was seeing things! Fair winds and great new adventures!
Im not an emotional guy, but i found myself a little chocked up remembering leaving my first boat. Nicely done.- Texas watching
Sad episode......but bigger things await you guys.
Best of luck. Your excitement is contagious!
I L❤ve my photocard, the background, "the arising wave," is just beautiful. Thanks again!
You two rock!! I agree memories are always tough to leave behind but new adventures are worth the pain!! Good luck in this new chapter and we'll keep watching you
As one door closes another opens. Good luck you two and cheers
Always tough to say goodbye to a good ship. Here's to the future and all of the adventures ahead. Looking forward to being there for all of it.
Thank you for the wonderful adventures you have shared with us. Can't wait to continue watching for the new ones. We love you guys.
Wow!! Big changes! love your shares, thank you.
Well done guys! that must have been hard, but you have so much to look forward too. You started down a path that you could not see the end of. And you still have no idea where its taking you. But you are enjoying the ride. which is all that counts.
La Vagabond will always have a place in your heart. The new boat will be more comfortable. The sailing will be a little different but you sailed a fairly light boat three quarters of the way around the world. I expect you will have little problem dealing with the change. Best of luck and fair winds in your new adventure.
You are a legend. That is the best way to solve a chronic autopilot problem. One new boat coming up! Stay safe
Congratulations you two. It's Steve here, the Actor from Melbourne. I've watched every ep you've ever put out into the world; Purchased Elays album and we've even exchanged a couple of messages here and there (Admittedly before you became super famous-I understand it's much harder now). Thanks for everything. This goodbye ep literally made me cry. I hope too have my own channel in time. With you all the way. Love Steve.
wow, I felt a bit sad too. saying goodbye is hard
I would like to know the reasons for some of the thumbs down. It is totally beyond me. These two young people are living their dream and taking all of their viewers along with them for the ride. What can be wrong with that. Is it jealousy?
Keep pursuing your dreams guys. I love your work.
Greetings from Sydney.
Congratulations you guys cannot wait till next week when hopefully we get a tour of the New Vagabonde...
Goodbye old friend, it has been a pleasure! Good luck guys on the new catamaran... looking forward to seeing y'all sail her!
save the memories and start the new beginning, I look forward to watching your next adventure!
Amazing build time-lapse. And SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! Wishing many safe knots in your future.
Loved that last bit of editing. Very funny 😂 and it should have stayed on account that you do have to show the reality of what sailing can be about!
You make me wish I was years younger....so thanks for taking me along on your adventures. Smooth sailing on your new home! Congratulations!
It makes me so sad, I've been following the episodes for more than a year and it makes me sad to see the vagabond disappear...
Cheers, from a future sailor of Portugal!
I had a Huge grin from ear to ear watching LVII launching....
don't know you all personally but I've been watching for a while now, I don't know why but I cryed too best of wishes and hope your new boat will fill all your hopes and dreams
Bon chance mes amis. Au revoir. Will be following your future adventures.
It was so wonderful to meet you with my sister-in-law Melyssa in Auckland. You two were both so genuine and kind - it is so refreshing to know that success has come to such hardworking real people. SO EXCITED for your new adventures (and new music!) xx
What a beautiful video. Thanks to the guys for playing Fugitive & the Vagabond.
Good luck you guys. Here is wishing you both the very best and I look forward to following you for many years into the future.
I raised a glass! Best wishes & good luck!
All the best of luck with your new ride. I am sure you will miss La Vagabonde, she was good to you.
It's healthy to grieve. But you have such great things in store for you. Don't linger. The same memories that bring tears right now will someday bring smiles. Love you guys. Keep the faith.
Wow! So that's it for La Vagabond. ...... CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE! :) Bring her on, La Vagabond II.
Hard to watch your ship dissappear in the rear view mirror. I nearly cried the day my little 17 foot powerboat went down the road on a trailer without me. I can't imagine what it must have been like for you guys. Looking forward to watching the next chapter of your adventure unfurl!
This is so amazing watching the end of one boat before the beginning of the new one.
Now you’re looking towards the next one after the catamaran.
Ain't gonna lie...i got a little choked up when you said goodbye to La Vaga. Eager to hear what you have planned for her
You guys are taking a brave step with a new ship. Can't wait to see what happens!
How goods Elena vocal and guitar skills 🇦🇺🎸🎼👍
I couldn't bear to watch this episode until today. I started watching at episode 11. Episode 12 was when I was hooked.
Thanks for posting. So appreciate what you guys are doing. Sometimes I watch your "show," @ night where I work. I am a little self conscious about sitting at my desk w/what I'm sure is a goofy grin on my face as I watch and hear about your lives and adventures.
Very excited for both of you. Looking forward to the new adventures coming up.
