Water Spouts in the Mediterranean (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 2

A little video put together from our 5 day sail from Crete to Malta. Some bad weather for the first 24 hours, first encounter with water spouts (we ran into 4 in one day..)! Finally caught some Tuna trawling.. after 3 months worth of trawling in the Med.. Arrived in in beautiful Malta, and discovered a few problems:

-The bilge was pumping more than usual.. turns out the 'stuffing box' is taking in water.
-The auto pilot was also making strange creaking noises.. Riley climbed into the TINY stern cabin (which I believe an octopus would struggle to squeeze into) and the rudder has broken free of its casing.. we believe when we ran aground in Turkey this is what has caused it.. better we have discovered this now rather than half way across the Atlantic..
-Also the wind speed indicator has given up on life. Need's to be looked at.

On the bright side tomorrow I get to set up the Christmas tree.

This is so different to August 2022… you are such a loveable couple, no wonder folks have stuck with you for 7 years and counting!
Sound quality - variable
Scenery - beautiful
Fish count - one …..and counting!
Elayna singing - always a pleasure
Riley being goofy - it’s never tiresome! 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑NZ

The start of an epic adventure... this is truly better than anything TV has to offer. Elayna, your voice and story telling is a gift. And Riles, you're living the dream.

[MisterItchy]

I don't know why you say these are so cringey. I think they are wonderful ... especially the second time now that I know you guys a lot better.

[scotblack]

Damn, that was a great version of that song. You are an amazing singer.

[Tracker]

[deuxcheveux]

The good ol' days when fish was still on the menu . :-) These older videos are the BEST! Love you two. You inspired so many of us with these first videos.

[yevhenliubarskyi]

you sing really great. very beautiful voice.

[jonathanz]

Riley would make a fine Ausie Jack Sparrow ...add some dreadlock, pirate bling and a bottle of rum.

Some fine entertainment there.

I just stumbled on to these videos and this is only the 2nd one I've watched.  Her singing is awesome!  I could listen to / watch her sing all day long.  I certainly hope there is more of her singing in the rest of the videos in this series.  If not, PLEASE do more singing.  Hell, put out a CD, I'd buy it.

Rawness and pure simplicity!!! Enjoyed watching the original vlogs!!!

[brandonbateson]

Watching your videos makes me feel happy. More then happy. You guys truly inspire me and make me feel like anything is possible. I love you guys and thanks for making people realize dreams do come true!

[elanavantonder]

Wow! You have a beautiful voice and there is just something about your singing that really gets me! I was not expecting that.

PKA brought me here, and I'm loving the content

[HARE]

What Fun!
I really liked the map and the red dot route at the beginning, the re-interpretation of "Stuck In The Middle" with cool improvised lyrics, and everything else in between!
What an adventure! Thanks for sharing.
Fair Winds, and Calm Seas!
