- Come on!
- Elayna glorious!
- [Elayna] Well this is more like a small island.
- Perfect absolutely perfect.
(Elayna gasping and laughing)
- Strawberry?
(upbeat music)
- [Elayna] Last week we had a bit of trouble checking into
the Bahamas here in Staniel Cay.
- [Riley] Well you can't check in there.
- [Elayna] We tried.
- I'm stoked.
- [Elayna] After a quick stop over and a sail across
coral head ridden bank we made it to Nassau
so we can do just that.
And then a close call with a small bridge
got our hearts pumping.
Oh no, it's hardly a tail.
We just stuck the boat in reverse.
- We had a bit of a look out and we were both like nah.
Not gonna risk it.
- [Elayna] We anchored La Vagabonde on the north west side
of the island and headed into land.
We just hopped into a taxi and we are on our way
to the customs building.
Left the dinghy tied off to the jetty
so hopefully she's alright.
- I'm still wildly confused about all this marina business.
I thought that was gonna be our ace in the hole.
A way to expedite this process.
- But hopefully this is quick.
And we got to anchor which is way better.
- I wouldn't hold my breath. (Elayna laughs)
- [Elayna] Alright can you tell me about customs?
What's happened?
- Whatever you do if you come here just go to a marina.
No one just understands that you might not wanna do that.
- [Elayna] Captain grumpy. I had to jump in here to say
that this is in fact all Riley's fault by not following
the correct procedure to checking into customs.
Half of the time when he tries to do things his own way
it saved us hours and even days of unnecessary work,
hassle and bureaucratic nonsense, but the other half
he just complains there is ridiculous rules and measures
we have to go to sail in and out of the country.
Oh Riles.
- Sorry
Go into a marina and check in.
We gotta taxi all the way to customs
and they said oh no what are you doing here.
- [Elayna] you need to check in with your boat in a marina.
- What do you want them to swim out to your boat?
And I was like no I don't want them
to swim out to my boat but they are more than welcome to.
Its just around here so it's not too bad.
- So lost our Q flag
(classical music)
I'm pretty scared of customs here,
just because of our experience at the Immigration building.
So I've decided that I'm gonna make a Q flag
(laughing) out of paper and sticky notes.
This is just a page out of my journal.
And I'm going to just stick some sticky notes to the paper,
try and get it up the mast.
So that will be interesting hopefully they don't notice.
Oh no I'm out.
It's going to be a one sided yellow flag.
There you have it guys I'm pretty good.
(royal music)
- [Voice On Radio] The name of the boat.
The name of the boat.
- La Vagabonde.
(garbled voice on radio)
- You need the registration number of vessel La Vagabonde?
(garbled voice on radio)
Just give me 2 minutes to find the paper work.
(garbled voice on radio)
- [Elayna] What are you gonna do cap?
(Riley whistling)
(indistinct chattering)
- Well that was really quick and easy
and not what I expected.
We did it!
- We're not crazy about men with guns again.
That's not how you greet people into your country,
I don't reckon.
- But anyway enough complaining we've done it.
We are gonna go get some food for the boat finally.
And we are heading off.
(saxophone tooting)
And we are off.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
They didn't even care about the yellow flag,
I'm really disappointed.
I wanted to see what they'd say or if they even notice.
They didn't even have a look at the boat so.
Hey, I wanted to tell you guys
that converted the feet to metres
with that bridge yesterday, and we found out that the bridge
was 20 metres so we would have wiped off
the top of our antennas at the top so I'm really glad
we didn't go under that bridge.
Because it would have been a drama trying
to get all that fixed.
Anyway oh shit that's a cruise ship,
I gotta go!
(wind rushing)
(gears clicking)
- This right clutch has been causing wear on the rope,
so now I just leave it lopped off on here.
The wear is minimal but obviously as it's getting jerked
in the wind and I remember matchie told me ages ago,
that when we first got the boat
that we weren't doing that, it was one of the million things
we got told as you can imagine.

- Strawberry?
Look at this monster, so good.
- [Riley] Thoughts on Nassau? - I don't want to dis a place
because we were only there for 24 hours.
So I'm gonna say it's a dump. (laughing)
- [Riley] The cruise ship port is terrible.
- Yeah going to the cruise ship port,
I've never seen a good cruise ship port.
It it just horrific.
Like you just get harassed the whole time.
- [Riley] So down town is not that good but I'm sure
there are some good spots.
I'm looking forward to going back.
- I really wanna come back to Nassau
because I feel like I have to explore it.
I did see some beautiful
beaches and stuff when we were driving the taxi.
- [Riley] They have massive hotels at the front.
- I do have hope though,
there has to be something good about Nassau, I'm sure.
I just wanted to share this moment with you guys.
So once we've set the sails, the first thing I do
after I've cleaned up and everything,
and got the boat ready for the journey ahead;
I come downstairs and take my jewellery off.
I wash my face, I jump in the shower
and then I go and lay outside and dry
in the wind and the sun and it's just the best
feeling doing that.
Like I just feel so clean and also just being on the move
just adds to the whole thing.
Yeah, it's just an amazing feeling
and I wanted share it with ya.
- Elayna it's glorious!
It's glorious!
This is just perfect, absolutely perfect.
I think we are doing I think it's 10 knots on the beam.
And we are doing, you know, eight knots.
And it's just so calm and we're flying.
- [Elayna] I've been watching the last episode
of Stranger Things.
- It's not working.
Why won't you listen to me?
- Just wait! - How much longer?
(acoustic guitar plays)
- Considering weather to put the engine on.
- [Elayna] Really?
- Yeah that's gotta be, there's not much wind there.
(yawning) We're going two knots.
Sorry I woke you up.
- [Elayna] No it was the sails flapping,
that's when you know there's no wind.
Full moon.
What time is it?
- 1:30.
Why aren't you wearing a harness?
- We're going two knots so that's ridiculous.
- As we picked up speed the apparent wind went forward,
and I'm not gonna hoist the code zero
so we're gonna just put the head sail out.
(gears clicking)
(waves lapping)
(water rushing)
- Well good afternoon you guys.
So we've been motoring all morning
because there's absolutely no wind
and we're not going to make it to Florida in time.
We're not gonna make it even if we keep going now,
we won't make it until the sun is well and truly set
so we don't wanna do that since its out first time
sailing in the USA. (giggles)
Probably not a good idea.
And what we're doing right now, Riley just woke up,
I took over from him this morning
and I woke him up because there's a shipwreck
and he's been really wanting to dive some more wrecks.
He's gonna jump in the water, it's in 12 metres in water.
And we're gonna anchor overnight at an island just nearby
and then early tomorrow morning we are gonna
make the trip across to Florida
which is about 50 or 60 nautical miles
so we'll get there in time.
- School of tuna
- [Elayna] Really?
- Just a little skip jack.
- [Elayna] Oh my gosh!
Well he can't find the wreck but I just saw
all these little splashes behind the boat
and I reckon we got those tuna following us.
Riley's just hanging on the back of the boat
because the fish only seem to come when we're moving.
I can see them in front of the boat. (Riley hollers)
What'd ya see?
- I saw when I first jumped in before I had to go over
I saw like a little school of I think it was skip jack.
We've covered this area pretty well.
- [Elayna] We did and no wreck.
- [Riley] We arrived at Bimini Island
which is 50-ish miles east of our final destination
for a while, which would be Miami.
Bimini Island, because of its close proximity to Miami,
attracts anglers and divers from all over the States.
Mostly I would say Florida.

How sad are you out of 10?
- Very.
- [Elayna] No number?
- I'm down to four pairs of shorts now.
Which isn't enough when you go swimming as much as we do.
I think a combination of salt water and--
- [Elayna] Sun.
- Maybe just sitting around so much,
makes them wear through on the ass.
I've got some rags now.
- [Elayna] Turn around.
Are they your other ripped?
- Yeah but these aren't bad.
These are good for another,
they're fine.
- [Elayna] Alright.
Just don't bend over - You don't wear these
into customs otherwise they don't let you into countries.
(wind blows)
(seagulls squawking)
- [Elayna] Well this is more like it.
A small island, I think it's only three miles long.
And apart from a few little bars and restaurants back there
that's it, this is it, this is town.
And you can walk to the other side of the island.
It's like just there.
- [Riley] Bright colours.
- We should walk to the other side.
Do you wanna? - Yeah.
(vehicle engines hum)
Those skip jack I saw today, this guy eats them.
- Alright I'm about to wrap it up here you guys.
I hope you liked our episode.
I just wanted to quickly inform you.
I have made my own YouTube channel,
because I've have had a lot of requests from you guys
to touch base on some more girlier subjects
and certainly more things about the pregnancy
and health and wellness and that kind of stuff.
I feel like I can express myself more on my own channel,
and yeah it's called La Vagabonde Mum
because that's what I'm going to be soon,
I'm going to be a mum.
And it's gonna be mostly be about motherhood,
so if you want to subscribe to that channel
you're welcome to.
Otherwise things are gonna stay cool on La Vagabonde.
We won't be talking about some weird
pregnancy stuff any time soon.
Maybe a little bit.
Alright, thanks you guys.
- [Riley] Next week we make it to civilization
where we will be able to get a whole bunch of jobs done.
Join us for our week-long catch up with a group of patrons.
In amongst them are two doctors,
a dude who builds robots, and a chef.
It's going to be a very interesting week.
- [Elayna] I wonder how old that thing is.
- That's your Atlantic crossing.
