    How sad - the channel that entertained, enlightened and amused so many subscribers for years has reached this point. With Riley and Elayna's bubbly enthusiasm for life making us all envious of their freedom and lifestyle, not ignoring the time, energy and skill they put in to filming and editing vlogs. The channel was so far removed from modern living where Politics left and right are at the fore front of every day life. Watching always brought a smile to my face and with the arrival of beautiful Lenny it became even more enchanting. Comments a joy to read. What a contrast today with so many upset viewers and acrimonious remarks flying back and forth by people with differing experience and viewpoints. I hope once this series has ended the adventure returns... Happy and safe sailing Guys.

    While every Monday is an escape for me watching SLV, the preparation and struggle of getting ready for this trip of madness of crossing the North Atlantic in, based on the trailer, the nastiest weather I have ever seen, was everything for me.
    Adventure.
    A mission.
    Struggles.
    A examination of the human spirit and willpower.
    I was smiling ear to ear during the whole video. It has all the ingredients of the expedition stories I read as a child and even today as an adult. God! Can next Monday hurry up???!!!!

    I never watched this channel because of the creators politics. I watched because of their incredible story telling. I don't care if they get 10 million new viewers and monetize every one of them for a cause I may disagree with. They are a warm loving couple, great parents and incredible creators. I wish them the best. Thanks for so many years of great story telling.

      I agree completely Blake. It's hard not to sound like a sh*t head when you criticize people who are so decent(and fun) but watching them enable more social virtue signaling from the "How Dare You" troll is tough to take. Kind of like giving Leonardo DiCaprio a ride so that he won't burn any fossil fuels in his Gulf Stream ...... only to find out that it dead headed to pick him up in Europe.

I lost the ability to appreciate both small and big things in life, but as time went on I learned to love those things again especially with your help. Watching your videos truly made me wanna live life the way I want to again :) SO thank you to all three of you and best of luck on your adventure ! (I am also terrible with words lol)

    Read it in the New York Times. Greta Thunberg needed a lift across the Atlantic and some obscure sailor (sarcasm font) stepped up. Yeah, La Vagabond.
    My jaw bounced off the counter.
    I've followed La Vagabond for years. I've followed Greta since she raised her voice. I couldn't - and can't - believe the paths of the good ship La Vagabond and Greta merged. The level of pride and gratitude I feel cannot be described in words I know. This is a great adventure on so many levels.
