Hey everyone! Hope your week is going well for you so far.
Just wanted to remind you about something new we're trying. We regularly see names in our comments but rarely do we get to see your beautiful faces. With internet and easy access to...
It's been a good year since we've paid any REAL attention to La Vagabonde. Besides polishing the stainless, scraping the bottom when she gets a little molluscy and maintaining our equipment onboard, she's usually keeps things fairly easy for us. B...

7 Reasons why NOT to go on a cruise ship. Just do, anything else. We could think of a dozen more reasons why not to go on a cruise ship but we thought we'd try and keep this short (plus it was about 10000 degrees inside La Vagabonde with no air co...

Join us for our sailing trip in Florida with myself, Riles, and our bunch of new friends. A freediving lesson for these guys was a must, and we also couldn't let them leave without tasting some Vegemite. We spend some time exploring what Miami has...

We trade island life for the city this week. But, for good reason. We finally get to meet our lovely group of Patrons who flew from all over to come see us and we're really excited to introduce them to you. Honestly, what an epic bloody week! Join...

Hope you're having a great start to October. Riley & I have been talking lately about how amazing it is to see the faces behind the names we see on a regular basis. What we also realised is that it's not just great that WE get to mee...

It's all go go go here onboard La Vagabonde. We run into a few dramas on the main island of the Bahamas checking in and out of the country on the same day (you know how much we love doing that). It was as if we didn't follow the correct immigratio...

Well this was pretty incredible. It isn't every day that you are visited by two friends, in a plane. Join us onboard La Vagabonde for a few days of spearfishing, living off the land and a mission to a Blue Hole. Epic times my friends, we're so gla...

We were completely stumped on what title to give this one. I made this video, and then I made it again, and then I changed it, and I changed it again and I really couldn't figure out what it was about exactly. We're on our way to Florida, as you g...

Join us for a catch and cook here in the turquoise waters of the open Atlantic Ocean. We had a calm enough day to take our deflated dinghy out and have a go at some fish for lunch. Riley chased down a beautiful sized Mutton Snapper, but he escaped...

I was warned. Various cruisers who we had met that had been in the area previously all knew what these pigs were like. People said to me "you watch out for them pigs son they'll gitcha." Alas, I did not listen. The bite through the shorts doesn't ...

We sail 100nm overnight to our first stop in the Bahamas, Acklins Island. Being pregnant on a boat, you can imagine it can make any slight feelings of morning sickness or nausea amplify. So on this trip, I was feeling very nauseous the whole time ...

Hey everyone!
As you may know, we invite people on board La Vagabonde at random, throughout the year as another way for us to thank you for your support. We've done a heap of them now and we genuinely consider it one of the big highlights for ...
Join us for some bad weather in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Not much fun punching into 35+ knots for the 4 inexperienced sailors onboard. We then say goodbye to our guests and sit down to have a chat to you about the most recent series of unfort...

We pay a visit to the hospital to stitch Riley back up after he fell down a hatch, immediately after running our boat aground.
The Turks and Caicos is considered world class diving and now Riley isn't allowed to swim for at least a wee...

Yep. La Vagabonde got washed onto a sand bank and she wasn’t moving. It probably would have helped if the channel marker hadn't been washed away in a storm. With the wind and waves pushing us closer and closer to the rocks and shore, we were goi...
