Join us as we make the most of being tied up alongside the jetty at our friends place in the Abaco Islands. We're certainly not complaining. Very cool spot!
Enjoy guys!
Sending lots of love from La Vagabonde

Hey everyone,
Riley here. Elayna is busy attending to Lenny so she's got me posting this week. We had a great day in this episode. I enjoy a successful spearfish including the two nice sized hogfish whilst the girls explored the island on golf buggies. We cooked up the hogfish and invited a few friends on board.
I was pretty stoked with the day so looking forward to sharing it. Thanks for supporting our videos. You're awesome.

Join us for a flashback to the past, on our sail up to the Berry Islands. One thing we've realised since we started travelling is that its really not all about the destination... it's about the journey. All the struggles, the mistakes, the sleepless nights. Those are what make it an adventure. Those times of struggle are what you remember. They're what make you appreciate the destination all the more. We don't sit down with our friends over a beer and tell them all about the holiday we had wh...

There's nothing better than catching your own seafood, cooking it up on the beach to share with friends, early morning yoga and frolicking around in crystal clear water until the sun goes down.
How many pieces of Elayna's cutlery will it take for this spearfishing experiment to be shutdown? :)
Thanks for supporting this video. Hope you can enjoy it as if you were here with us, particularly those in the northern hemisphere far from warm weather. Wishing you all a great week!...
It was a two day event changing the oil myself on anchor. Had I had the correct tools it would have taken a couple of hours but I didn't have them yet as Outremer did the first oil change etc for free back in France as part of their service for new vessels. I made a list on Amazon and I'll go and pick it up next time I'm in the US. I still can't get over Amazon. - Riley

Because of your continued support with our numbered episodes, we're able to make bonus ones like this! Thanks for helping us grow as artists. We hope you like this one. Here’s what we do when it’s simply too hot outside… we go underwater… dah. Join us in the Bahamas, where the waters always blue and you can catch lunch right off your back porch!! 🐟🦀🦑

HAPPY NEW YEAR you guys. What did everyone get up to? Riley and I spent New Years eve playing Articulate with friends and we both managed to stay awake until the countdown!! I wasn't expecting that haha. If you're feeling sluggish today, here's another episode to feast your eyes upon. Cheers to you.
We're anchored here in west Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. We had planned to only stay one night, before heading off to a bunch of other islands, but we found a little slice of paradis...
It's never a good feeling experiencing strange pains whilst anchored miles away from the nearest hospital. We went freediving and because I haven't been diving deep or for too long I volunteered to drag the dinghy through the water as we go spearfishing. This job can sometimes be a bit of a workout, but nothing I would have thought could hurt me or the baby in any way..

What, you didn't think we WOULDN'T have an episode released for you on Christmas day did you??!! Here is part II of Vertical Blue 💧We're thrilled to have had the opportunity to checkout what goes on here each year and to become a part of this little freediving community for some time. They're an interesting bunch of humans. Enjoy dear patrons. Elayna xo

Sending love from our family to yours. It's Christmas here in Australia, it's 26 degrees and we're off to Lenny's grandparents house for the day. Thanks for another incredible year and for always having our backs. We are so unbelievably grateful to have you a part of our journey. Speak soon you guys, enjoy this special time of year. 🎄🥂🕺🏾
Elayna, Riley and Lennon.

We'll see you in 3 minutes 😄😄😄
Hey everyone! This is a bonus free video which we're publishing in a days time but thought we'd give you a sneak preview. I thought it was about time we did another thorough tour of our home on the water, seeing as some parts are left in the dark most episodes and a lot has changed since our first tour. So feel free to join us onboard for a snoop around 👀🌞⛵️
Hopefully we'll chat with you soon in the LIVE vid...
Hey everyone!!!
We are really excited to introduce you to our new crew member. In Riley's words "If we didn't force ourselves to schedule things in to our calendar, we could easily find ourselves just staring at him all day".
If you have any questions, feel free to add them below and 'heart' any already asked questions and we'll answer the most popular ones on the day. Look forward to speaking to you then!!
Love Elay, Riles & Lenny

Join us for a spontaneous last minute trip to see one of the deepest blue holes in the world; Deans Blue Hole. We'd been in touch with Adam Stern, Australia's record freediver, and he said we should come hangout and watch the freediving competition Vertical Blue that's held every year at this spectacular spot 🙌💦
Videos made with love, Elayna

Here's our gorgeous little guy Lenny. We can't wait to introduce him to you on during a live video later this week!! He's amazing. We've just spent the past 10 days getting used to parenthood and establishing breast feeding and all the rest. It's the best job in the world being his mama. You're going to love him.

Having snuck into our spot at high tide it seemed far less treacherous than when it dropped later that afternoon and we were completely surrounded by coral reef. I would get up on deck and have a look around and just slowly shake my head every half an hour or so. We decided to tie off the stern to a mooring ball so as to be held in place and were able to ride out the night without one of the Bahamian famous squalls. The next day the weather had picked up making our anchorage less and less com...

Elayna and I are feeling quite grateful today, for obvious reasons. Recently we welcomed our little boy Lennon (Lenny) Foster Whitelum into this world and we wanted to share him with you. Weighing in at 3.3kg (approx 7lb 4.4oz)
He’s perfect. We flew home to Australia to have him where we could have the support from our family and friends.
We have shared a few photos in our little new born bubble have which have been full of love. There’s also been a lot of time for ref...
Riley goes spearfishing solo and manages to grab some us some perfect, white fleshed reef fish for a spaghetti marinara. Does anyone else's partner have the tendency to fall asleep after eating spaghetti? 🍝 😂 Join us on our last leg of our journey over to Nassau where we park up at Palm Cay Marina for a few days to provision. Thanks for having us guys!! If you're in Nassau by boat, we can recommend you stay he...

A few days at sea, just Riley and me. We anchor in the middle of the Great Bahama Bank in the flattest, clearest water in the whole freaking world!! What's also super romantic about this sail is our little chat about boat toilets and some horror stories from the past 😂🚽 has anyone else nearly died thinking they broke a boat toilet and would have to get someone, like your partner, to come in and fix it? Enjoy the video guys, we love ya!

Of course Riley was game enough to pick up a baby lemon shark darting around in the shallow waters of the Bahamas 😱 not for me, no matter how cute it was! Join us as we repair sails, take you for a tour through the Bimini Shark Lab, get declined from stepping foot on a private island, before making our way into the wild blue wonder.
Oh and if anyone is thinking of visiting the Bimini Shark Lab, it's pretty cool and the team are legends. More info on them here: 2018-11-20 13:47:04 +0000 UTC View Post
Well I was supposed to put this video up for you all yesterday (we've been trying to post Mondays and Thursdays) but I was suffering from Nausea all day. I'm only a few weeks away from having our little boy you guys!! Keep you posted 😄😄😄. But anyway, today we're in search of some shipwrecks in the Bahamas. Riley took a fair bit of persuading to get in the water at night, after an eerie night dive with strange shapes and whale sounds a while ago. Join us for another bonus episode that...

You can't miss this invaluable lesson with Riley today folks.. he's showing you how to mount a dingy 😂. Tiger shorts, optional. Welcome back to the sunny Bahamas, with 80% humidity and a high chance of exhaustion if you're not in the ocean. Join Riley and myself onboard La Vagabonde for a little adventure down to Turtle Island and back to the mainland, where we jump on a golf cart and see what Bimini has to offer.
Hope the episode gets you off to a great start to your week.

This is an original song of mine. It tells a story from my childhood, which I expand on in much greater depth in my upcoming book I’ve been working on that’s yet to be released (we will be sending a copy to you guys when it does!!). I also wrote a short bio many years ago on our website if you're interested but I've never really talked about my childhood.
As you can guess, this song is about my l...

Meanwhile in the Bahamas, we're on a mission to fill our freezers onboard. We've been in the city for a while now and it's so great to be anchored in crystal blue waters and doing what we really love once again. Feel free to join Riley and I onboard for a pretty chilled episode, mostly under the surface.
Thanks so much for supporting our videos.
Hope you enjoy the episode xo

P.S. My new song should be available from tomorrow

Hey amazing people!
We've managed to get another episode out for you this week! Happy days as we leave sight of the city, for a long while. Although, it was quite sad saying goodbye to our new friends from Just Catamarans and some old ones we'd met in Colombia in 2016. Join us for the Bimini Shuffle over to the Bahamas. The wind and current makes it quite difficult for us to get across the Gulf ...

Hey family. I recently had a 3D scan done so I could send some photos to Riley back over in the USA. Here is the face of our little angel. That's his foot right next to his chin hahaha. He's getting pretty squished in there. It's only 4 weeks until he'll be joining us earth side. Riley has a flight to come back to Australia in the next few days so it'll be nice to have him here. We're hoping to do a live chat for you guys when he gets back so you can expect to see us once he's gotten over the...
