Preparing the boat for a 500 mile crossing | MADEIRA ARCHIPELAGO here we come!
#282 Join us as we enjoy the fruits Sao Miguel has to offer. It's actually a quick stopover as we prepare for our journey to Madeira. It's only a 3-4 day sail but we want it to go smoothly. We've been sailing for over 5 years now and would you believe it, we may be still yet to perfect it.

Thanks for watching!! Yes, running out of gas was a rookie mistake. Sailing for over 5 years and still plenty to learn. Guess it was better it happened on the 3-4 day crossing than the Atlantic crossing - haha! Would you like to support our video production? Check out how you can support our show here: bit.ly/SLVPatreon for more information. xo
We've all had our versions of running out of gas. I've been 'going bush' for 40 years & recently drove 1200km into Woop Woop & realized I'd forgotten my bloody tent.
Need Gas? Make A Solar Stove or use the BBQ (always have several backups for all important things :-) Could take toilet paper, a can and alcohol to make an alcohol stove. The solutions are everywhere but in your brains. Be prepared and fill your brains (knowledge is almost free these days via Google).
Live and learn, I bet Andrei wasn't too happy without his Thai rice
Electric portable hot plate. It works wonders
Get one of those induction cooker things, the non build in type, or a electric grill
Cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
"next time around the world '"
I think lenny is the mastermind of the entire circus!!!

Riles, are you sailing Schrodinger’s cat. ~Hans
Andre devastated with the rice situation. 😂 What a legend!
we had some sticky steering cable sheeve once: overworked the ram, the ram overworked the quandrant, the quadrant fatigued, and SHEARED!!!. 2000 meters off the dock, on start of passage, the quadrant required welding. fortunately, we knew a welder with a deep water dock, 3km off the dock-pulled up via dingy tow, welded, and started our crossing 4 hours late. such good fortune. other options would have been supa-dangy.
So you’ve got a spare gas bottle now?
“Next time around the world” what a beautiful saying to sum up the highlights of y’all’s trips. :)
I had the same problem with a pair of mountain bike shoes as your steering. They were a cable through a sheath with a dial on the back for lacing, The old rebock style cable system back in the day. Although these mtn bike shoes are Italian not British. You might be to0 young to remember. However I ended up pulling them apart and melting the sheath off of them with a flame then a bit of wd40 did the trick. Not recommending you do this but I feel your pain. Once in you could barely get out of them. Good luck with the system not the best design.
Brake the budget get another bottle
Reverberating is the word! 😉
Have you ever heard of the solar cooker, cooks with the sun no gas needed.
should've played "Papa's got a brand new bag"!! lol
Link the backpack mate :D
Just a new subscriber here guys. Great content!!! Quick question: Is the backpack a ZPacks? Which model if so? And how are you liking so far? Thanks.
Beautiful family
New transitions. 🤙🏽
I haven't seen that CATS video in so long! Thanks for that throwback
Why do guys not fill the bloody gas bottles. I’m not being sexist but guys fill the bloody gas bottle!
You guys make me happy. All of ya, including Andre
I know your lifestyle has its challenges, but I would love to live like this!
Nice Video nicely done! Enjoyed seeing your journey...its interesting and down to earth! its just Chill and Cool :)
bassboosted
Ooouuuuh Riley going with the fancy ultra light z-packs bag! Very nice. You'll have to give your thoughts on it. Also Riley, have you ever looked into these guys who make bags out of used sails? Looks like you can even donate your old sails and get a free bag (I have no personal experience with this, just thought you would appreciate): mafiabags.com/pages/donate-your-sail
You need an electric induction burner...and never have to worry about gas again.
Funniest part was when Andre tried to escape the diaper-stink with the floral aroma! Great sport!
No Thai rice and he has to carry the dirty diapers - Andre needs a Union lol!
Guess they hadn't eney gas back where you where?
I cannot believe that you don’t carry spare FULL gas cylinders!
Hello from Cali, a new subscriber👋👍love the videos💕
The color grading is really good..
Who else wants to see a La Vagabond wedding!!!!!????????? Like-->>>>>>>>>>
I love these videos more than any show!! Lennys hair is soo beautiful!
Totally a rookie move, even my 28 ft mono can carry 2 gas bottles.. That's just half assed planning OZ...
lol
How scary is it to live a life like this? i know nothing is certian in life. but i have 2 kids and would love a life style like this but to put my children in a life style like this scares the fk out of me cause i have zero experiance in it, yet i think it would be a great world/eye opening for children to expiriance.
Maybe adding a little back packing stove with its own fuel for boiling water. Cheep and light, its good enough for boiling eggs or preparing coffee, tea, ramen, or freeze dried camper food. If you make sure to be hungry, tired, cold and wet, they will taste pretty good.
Reverberating,elana I have watched from the start and your still a babe.
Put some sugar with the raw eggs (normally just the yolk) and you will have a nice threat, I also like to add a bit of lemon juice. Much better than just swallow them. André as a Portuguese should know about it.
Which weather app do you guys use?
LENY ...THE LEGEND...😂😂😂
Dont you have a 12v to 110/240 in inverter on your boat as a back up?
Ah......sh..... NO GAS!!!!!😱😱 Captain???
Lennys hair is Beautiful
Beautiful Dolphins yes you should add your young friend In Starting Video. He is part of your family
Might want to give this pineapple hack a whirl sometime. I actually find it easier to keep if you don't eat it all. facebook.com/InTheKnowFoodieByAOL/videos/genius-no-knife-pineapple-hack/919249585223130/
Love the music ☺️
Atticus wants to buy a boat,,, they need yours , I think it would be great if you could bless them with a good price for your boat..
Well, DANG IT! What bag did he get? (I'm still looking for the perfect one too.
It's probably been suggested before, but some great "tractor" video can be found on Andrew Camarata's channel.
A friend of mine recommended checking out your guy's videos and I'm glad he did!
Riley should try the osprey bag. My entire family uses them for hiking and they are soooooooo nice. they also have a breathable back and it actually works.
The little dude is growing so fast! My daughter is 6 - we jokingly called the lightning quick mood changes "bipolar baby". LOL Also, it was interesting to see the flowers you drank nectar from. In south Louisiana we have a vine we call honeysuckle that looks a lot like that flower, just smaller and you can also drink the nectar. Happy New Year!
Are they sponsored by Corona beer?
I don't comment in internet things generally but I wanted to rop a line to express how much respect I have for your lifestyle choices and approach to life in general. My wife and I left our advertsing jobs in NYC about 7 years ago now and moved to Puerto Rico with the idea of living a more sustainable, thoughtful and fulfilling life. There are a ton of hard choices we had to make and rarely will anyone ever really identify with your life choices or understand the sacrifices required. As I was getting out the water this morning with some nice little tiger fish for our civeche I remembered a video you guys published a few years ago and the things you said still resonate (pole spear fishing being the most selective and sustainable). Much support for you and yours. You are bravely living a belief system that human beings desperately need to emulate. If you are ever near PR put in at Boca De Congrejos and hit me up. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!!
The little fella looks like John Daly lol
when are you coming to ISRAEL???
Riley I would really want you to see this movie -> noworld.info/video/video/wnSoa5yts7aTz9U.html reminds me of you :)
the berry's are called grosela only the red and orange are ripe to eat
Zpacks backpacks are great!!!
What, no back up gas???? :-)
I love this video the editing or something was different I loved the editing style regardless 🙏🏼
Need to add an electric induction cooktop for the times you run out of gas!!!
I live in Antigua and my friend said they saw you, I’ve been watching for years and it would be amazing if u get to see you!!! Really big fan
The look on andrés fave when he realized he won’t be having thai rice for a few days ....
Dont you have a microwave?
trés beau catamaran équipage magnifique et belle navigation pour 2021
❤️
Regarding your steering you need to change the inner cables as you had to cut the frayed white antifriction covering off the ends some time ago. They are now fraying inside the outer sheaf causing your problems. Eventually they will bind up altogether and you will have no steering. Urgent you get this done ASAP. Same system is used on control surfaces on light aircraft. Great videos keep up the great work
Fortunately we would still have the tillers and auto pilot but yeah this is super important.
weekly serotonin thank Uu
Super
Consistently one of my favorite channels.
And now, time for NOworld rabbit hole # 9782: Solar Cooking.
First of all why would you make Andre carry Lenny’s dirty diaper?? He had 2 capable parents but yet they make him carry it! Absolutely disrespectful!!! And as always nothing about sailings ocean. Sailed 24 hours and Riley has to take a nap all day! This channel is a joke and disrespectful to all the real people that sail the ocean! I apologize but the people need to stop donating and funding this channel until they actually start sailing again! We’re paying for them to have a free 12 month vacation, all expense paid Azorez vacation. It’s time to sail more than 24 hours or change the whole narrative of the channel! So not fair to Andre!
All the best for 2021!
Your wife handles docking like the pro that she is. I am always impressed
Suppression of the Under Class by the Aristocracy..... servants carry the sh!t
lenny chain them to oars below deck except Andree arrr me bucko enslave them👀💪🏻
After Maderia, do you think you'll head for the Cape Verde Islands?
Lenny looks like the golfer John Daly back in the 90s lol
When are yous heading back to New Zealand, im based in whitianga and there are some beautiful spot i would love to show you
Elayna, I would Love you to make a video about the Authentic Melbourne Australian invented Dance called the Shuffle. I think Elayna Showing us the Melbourne Shuffle Dance on the Beach would be Awesome!!! noworld.info/video/video/sITPr8uatNC8qsU.html
I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and this one is my favorite so far! Time to say thank you! Stay safe ⛵️
Music was on point
Your movies helped me through a very hard time in my life a couple of years ago, and they're helping me a particularly rough patch again now. Thank you for the incredible work you do and the beautiful art it produces that you share with us all, I'm so grateful 💕💕
Happy new year riley alaina lenny🎆🎉💕 fan from Philippines
I hope you sail to the tropics soon. I loved the videos from the Bahamas so so much
Riley getting fat dad bod...
Hey guys, I felt the pain when the 'gas' ran out, but am wondering if you couldn't have a solar oven as a back up. I see plenty of sun on board, being ignored; sun on deck, what the heck, use it or lose it........is that a possibility? Used them all the time in South Africa......and I know there are companies making fancy ones, but you can also fashion one in no time, c/o Boy Scout wisdom.
@16:20. After all the years sailing don't you guys have a checklist down before you set off on a passage? I mean, it's entertaining and all that, but running out of propane is pretty annoying.
Thanks for the video,the Lenmeister is getting so big!
We Portuguese are Master Navigators.
Get 4 candles and cook away ✌️🐢👽
Checking the weather ! Look around the sky and let your computer down little sailor !
I could see the light leave Andre’s eyes when Riley said no Thai rice
Unfortunately your blog is becomming more about Lennie than the reality of the sail, How about setting up a seperate Lennie chanel and getting back to "SAILING"
I got attached to you from my dad and I am only 9 years old
I love your straw hat.. where did you get it
