- [Elayna] Morning!
Peanut butter sandwich.
(mellow acoustic music plays)
- Oh come on!
- [Riley] Bonjour Mathieu!
- [Elayna] So you guys have met Stefan before.
(laughs)
- Slow us down, slow us down!
- Like I didn't tighten up on the main sheet tight enough.
What are we gonna do about this?
♪ I've always been running ♪
♪ Don't know why ♪
- [Riley Voiceover] La Vagabonde made a quick dash over
to Antigua from Barbuda last week, to dodge some bad weather
that was on its way.
♪ I know you are mine ♪
We anchored in a busy harbour to get some jobs done
before sailing towards seclusion once again.
♪ We are running ♪
♪ Cool running ♪
- Come here you!
- [Riley] Give it here.
- No, no I wanna get it!
Come on little one.
I tell ya this isn't as easy as it looks.
Come on.
It's gone.
('Ball and Biscuit' by The White Stripes playing)
I'll get you later.
(sound of waves crashing)
- [Elayna] Morning!
- Morning.
- [Elayna] Peanut butter sandwich.
- Thankyou.
- So we have some exciting news.
Riley and I are going around the corner back to Jolly Harbour
today, to go and pick up Mathieu.
So he's coming on board to see us and also our friend Stefan
who we met in the Canary Islands.
He's in the area too so we're like, guys jump aboard,
because we're gonna make some how-to videos
and we're gonna need Mathieu's help, and Stefan,
he's good with the camera so yeah, get excited,
we're gonna do a bunch of how-to videos,
how to anchor, how to hoist the main, et cetera et cetera,
because we've had lot of requests from you guys, so
that's what we're doin' today!
Riley and I stayed up late last night watching PewDiePie,
which I've never watched before and Riley's always trying
to get me to watch him.
And I refused.
And then last night, at one stage I actually thought
I was gonna die of laughter.
- Because seeing this therapist, I would just run.
I would not tell this man what I ate for breakfast.
He's a reptile.
This man is a reptile.
- You have the formula, okay.
- [Woman] Yeah, sure!
That's the whole point of this whole thing
is that people can--
- You see that!
- You have--
- [Woman] That's the whole point of this whole thing
is that people--
- Morning there boys.
Trust you had a nice sleep in this here calm anchorage.
- [Elayna] What accent is that?
- I got no idea.
I think I heard Tom Hanks doing it.
Much better than that, once.

♪ You're running so far away from home ♪
- So when you, when I'm travelling, or for those of you
who haven't been to the Caribbean, you like,
you get an idea of the sort of music that they listen to,
but it's a bit of a stereotype, and you're thinking,
"oh you know, it's probably something that you're
"trying to avoid, especially when you're travelling",
but listen to the radio stations here.
(radio plays reggae rap music)
(radio plays upbeat calypso music)
Every single one is exactly what you'd imagine.
(radio plays mamba music)
- Also I can't forget to say a huge thanks to Paul Simmons,
he's on holiday here with his family from the U.K,
staying at the Jolly Harbour Hotel, I think it's called.
But anyway, we bumped into him - [Riley] Really nice guy
and him and his family are going on a bit of a tour today
and he had a hire car and said we could borrow it.
So cheers Paul and the fam!
Hope you've had a fab day.
- No, come on!
- Bonjour Mathieu!
(Elayna laughs)
- [Elayna] What have we got here?
- We've got oil filters, and books, and all sorts of stuff.
And the creme de saladeu.
Oh mate!
- Some specialties from Kiron.
- [Elayna] Awww!
Amazing. You the best.
- [Riley] Did you bring any Vegemite?
- Aw, yeah we really want Vegemite!
Oh, yes, this stuff's so good!
- [Riley] Your whole bag's full of presents!
- Oh my gosh.
We don't need any more alcohol, but cheers.
- [Riley] Thanks mate.
- This'll be great.
- [Elayna] Alright, so you guys have met Stefan before,
previously in the Canary Islands, on your boat,
what was the name of your boat again?
- [Stefan] Antawa.
- [Elayna] What are you doing here on La Vagabonde?
- Actually I had in mind to cross in mind to
cross the Atlantic with my own boat but yeah, I guess
I underestimated a bit the amount of time and money
a 40-year-old boat my size consumes.
Yeah, I ripped the sails and in the end I just
wasn't able to cross the Atlantic,
and I just met Riley and Elayna before they
crossed the Atlantic.
And then you sent me a message, I mean, you, Elayna,
behind the camera, and were asking if I could
hold the camera for a while, and give you a bit
of assistance, and obviously I said yes.
- [Elayna] So, what's happening to your boat?
- Yeah, I'm probably gonna sell it.
Simply because it's just too much work and money
and I'm by myself and I just can't
and I don't want to handle it anymore.
But it shouldn't keep anyone from getting a boat and
I would maybe do a proper research and get a survey done
and really check what's necessary to do
to go long-term sailing.
Before you go for it, I, yeah.
- [Elayna voiceover] We were up bright and early
the next morning and ready to get practising .
(acoustic guitar music)
Mathieu's been sailing since he was a kid,
so he's super knowledgeable, and the way
he effortlessly teaches and manages to always remain calm
makes him someone we love having on board.
We were really grateful he could join us and teach us
some more specific skills.
(laughs)
- Slow us down, slow us down!
- [Elayna] You get the next one alright?
- [Elayna Voiceover] We tired La Vagabonde
and our cameras out in a few short days.
Although we've been cruising for four years now,
and sailed over 55, 000 nautical miles,
it's not every day we stop and practise certain manoeuvres
and honestly, there's an endless amount of skills to learn.
(acoustic music, vocalising)
- [Stefan] For the ladies!
- It's been the biggest day in the blaring hot sun.
Stefan's sunburnt.
(laughs)
- [Elayna] Riley was dead before but--
- You're all tuckered out!
- [Elayna] I made him sail because I'm too tired.
Mathieu's watching, what are you watching Mathieu?
- Working.
- [Elayna] You're working, right.
No you are working now, I can see your mouse moving.
Yeah, a second ago he was watching a TV series.
(acoustic music)
- [Elayna] Uh-oh, Riley's on the whiteboard!
With a ruler.
- [Mathieu] Yes, now we're talking.
(Elayna laughs)
- [Elayna Voiceover] A few days passed, and we felt like
we'd achieved quite a bit.
- Darn I knew you were gonna hurt my elbow.
Go, quick!
- Nah.
- Little one, just a little one!
- Nah, fool me once.
(laughs)
(Reggae music plays)
- [Elayna Voiceover] And then came along a 25-knot wind day,
and I broke the goose neck.
This is the part attaching the boom to our mast,
not an actual goose's neck.
And it was all my fault and I was pretty sad.
- Alright, we can turn on the engines now.
- [Riley Voiceover] It certainly wasn't the perfect day
to be practising these manoeuvres, with winds gusting
to over 25, but we did wanna practice in those conditions.
Not surprising that we made a mistake and broke something
really, but that's exactly what these days are for.
- [Stefan] You got any thoughts when, while the emotions
are still fresh?
- Just, you have to be paying attention to everything
100 percent of the time.
Cos I was more worrying about the fender that was
wrapped around our prop than actually driving that, like,
I didn't tighten up on the main sheet tight enough,
and then this happened.
- [Stefan] Have you got anything to say while you're
heart rate is still a bit higher?
- Nah.
Looking forward to repairing it.
Uh can I get a, can I get a jumper from inside please?
- [Elayna] Anything else?
- Yeah, just a towel, yeah.
Just some big manoeuvres happening in higher wind,
got the buoy caught around the prop,
tangled up in the bucket.
Then Elayna jibed and we didn't tighten up
on the main sheet.
('Untitled' by Simple Plan plays)
- All good?
- All good.
What are we gonna do about this?
- Get another one of these parts sent out,
and then fix it and it's no drama.
- [Elayna] So Mathieu's leaving us tomorrow,
and the spare part doesn't arrive for a few days.
So Mathieu's trying to teach Riles what to do.
Mathieu, show us the broken part.
- Did a nice job on that, didn't you Pants?
- [Elayna] Yeah, I'm sorry.
(all laugh)
(Riley and Mathieu murmuring)
- [Elayna] How are you Stefan?
- I'm super good.
- [Elayna] Yeah?
(laughs)
You smell very nice.
- I smell very nice?
- [Elayna] Yeah!
- Yeah?
- I smell like Carib.
(both laugh)
- [Riley Voiceover] Before we'd say goodbye to Mathieu,
he insisted on beaching our boat for the first time.
So the steps change with each different type of hull,
but for us with daggerboards, all we had to worry about
was our rudders at the stern.
So we needed a beach with a quick, deep drop-off,
calm weather, an off-shore breeze, a sandy bottom,
and on low tide, to ensure that when we went to leave
her later on, there would be no dramas.
We approached very slowly and shut off the engines
completely, just about a few metres before grounding,
to avoid sand being sucked up into the engine intakes.
Elayna was at the helm, and I was already in the water,
running the anchor to shore, and then Elayna came in
on the anchor chain, locking us into place.
- [Riley] Yup!
(mellow electronic music)
Alright, come in!
Gimme some more!
(laughing)
- [Elayna] This is crazy!
This doesn't feel right!
So weird.
La Vagabonde is beached.
Beached her for the first time!
And I'm so excited.
It doesn't look right.
- [Riley Voiceover] To leave, all it took was coming in
on the anchor chain, and a bit of a push.
The wind took care of the rest until we were
far enough away to fire up the engines and head off.
(electronic music)
- I was paying too much attention.
I just should've chilled out a bit.
I kept worrying if we were gonna swing sideways.
- [Elayna] Yeah.
- But even if the rudders hit, I mean it was that calm.
- [Elayna] Yeah.
- Pretty awesome though.
(airport intercom)
- No worries, thanks for coming.
- Legend. Thanks a lot.
(Riley and Elayna make sheep sounds)
- [Elayna] Aww look at the baby one!
Hey cuties!
- [Riley] Look at this guy, look at this one!
- [Elayna] Hello!
We just said goodbye to Mathieu, at the airport,
and we're going over to Riley's spearfishing friend
George's house for dinner tonight.
With Stefan.
- Hola!
- It's been a really good week.
It's a shame about the boom.
But we've been doing other things in the meantime.
- I learned more talking to Mathieu for an hour
than I do spending a week on the internet researching shit.
- [Elayna] Yeah.
- He's a fountain of knowledge.
- [Elayna] He really is.
How's your week been Stefan?
Oh speedbump!
Good week?
- Amazing week, yeah.
- [Elayna] Yeah?
(all laugh)
How much do you hate the camera?
- Uhhmm.
- [Elayna] Out of ten?
- Eleven.
(all laugh)
No it has been fun.
I've been a bit sunburned but--
- [Elayna] Yeah you're brown!
You've bronzed up a bit.
- Yeah, it's getting browner. Brown.
- [Riley] Thanks for poking the camera at different things
for us mate.
- [Elayna] Alright, so we've been invited to dinner
by the lovely George and Sophie.
(all laugh)
What's going on boys?
- I'm getting schooled.
Big time.
If it's not Mathieu, it's George.
- [Elayna] What's the story George?
- No story, love to spear fish.
Got into blue-water spearfishing.
And it's now an obsession.
- He's a wizard, and if anyone wants to go spearfishing
with George in Antigua, we'll put his details
in the description below.
- [Elayna] And they've got some gorgeous dogs.
- [Riley] He's gonna get me a Wahoo before we leave.
- [Elayna] Doggies!
Hello!
Aw aren't you cute?
Hey!
You're big.
These are the three biggest dogs I've ever seen.
Hello.
You don't like me.
You're the friendly one, hey?
Aren't you?
You like me.
Like, I dunno if the size is actually showing up on camera,
but they are like horses.
(dog barks)
(Elayna giggles)
- The idea is you take this in your hand,
and you scoop the food.
- [Riley] . Yeah.
Wrap it up and eat it.
We're headed that way.
- You could ride this.
- I did see one in the lagoon.
- Your dogs wanna come back home with me.
- [Riley] They're bigger than your boat.
- Yeah they seriously are!
So George went spearfishing today, and he's about
to show us what he got.
Nice work.
- [Stefan] You need to put something next to it, to--
- [Riley] George reckons the one I shot was three times
the size of that.
- [George] It was.
- [Elayna] Really?
- [George] Three times the size of that.
- That's a big fish.
- Your one would've been this thick.
The head on yours would've been to here.
- The one you shot but the flopper--
- The flopper didn't engage.
- Right.
- Well, that's a shame .
- It wasn't a story, he had the video, I could see
it was a perfect shot.
- [Elayna] Yeah, he showed me the video.
Well, I'm definitely gonna need a second shower for the day.
After touching those dogs.
I told Sophie, that was the best food I've had in Antigua
for the entire however long we've been here.
I'm just beyond impressed.
What do you think boys?
- [Riley] Well done Soph.
- [Elayna] Well done Sophie.
- [Riley] Great spread.
- [Elayna] Can we get a clap for Sophie?
(clapping sounds)
and George cos I'm sure he caught the fish.
No clap for George! Sorry George.
(giggles)
The boys are tired.
(boat motor running)
(all laugh)
- [Elayna] Was that to annoy me, was it?
- Nah it was, you were poking the camera at me,
so I thought I'd crash into something.
(all laugh)
- Not really sure what was going on.
- [Elayna] No, I was like did he forget something?
Or, I dunno.
I dunno, that tired.
(mellow music plays)
- [Elayna Voiceover] Next time, Antigua holds us captive
for a few days with some delays.
(laughing)
We were forced to make the most of the place
with some diving and some other boaty shenanigans.
- Just go to town on it.
