These are two leaders in their fields so we were over the moon to hear they were on board with what we were wanting to achieve.
This was a massi...

It's one of those things where you don't learn if you don't try it yourself. They were fairly minor jobs in the scheme of things but we did learn a lot. Have you tried to learn a new skill during the times of Covid-19? Feel free to leave us some c...

Birthday celebrations are just too good to only limit to one day. Whilst Riley was off sailing on a neighbours trimaran, Brianna and I were having a fancy birthday breakfast with some interesting Chinese wine. It didn't all run smoothly from there...

Hey guys!
Hope you're having a great week so far. When we often speak about great sailing destinations, the Azores never really entered the conversation........... until now. We are absolutely loving it! It really is a cinematographers dream...

Sorry about the delay on this one folks! We kept making changes right up until we published it a few minutes ago. Maybe that brain swab has slowed us down? haha! We love getting the episode out to you early so we'll make sure we get back on track....

I've never been this sick before. The Azores better be worth it! It's pretty rough when you have some bad seasickness which you can't escape. I would not wish this upon my worst enemy. Lenny and Riley seem to have it under control at the helm. Ril...

Here's our departure of Lisbon - destination Azores.... take two!
After some fine tuning and even a visit from the water police, we can leave with full confidence in the journey ahead. Lenny is already super keen to fill the captains shoes.....

Join us for an unexpected day on board La Vagabonde. We were super excited to set sail for the Azores, our first ocean crossing for the year only to discover problems with our steering and our main sail. We spent most of the day trying to get it a...

Life in close quarters can be full on when you're carting your family around on a boat together, so we're spending a bit of time apart as we head back westwards along southern Portugal. We want to take the varnish off and speak our mind about some...

Get this: water, right, but without salt in it. Weird right? Yeah and like, no massive waves, you can wash in it. I think they call it a 'river'. That and the beautiful countryside of Portugal, no wonder people never want to leave the Guadia...
