Sailing La Vagabonde

Our Final Month Onboard La Vagabonde III 🥲 #travel #sale #sailing

The video documents the final month aboard La Vagabonde III, marking the end of a three‑year sailing chapter for the family. After years of living on the water, the couple announces a major lifestyle pivot: selling the vessel, downsizing, and buying land to build an off‑grid farm. During this farewell period they capture dramatic moments—a near‑miss with a shark, serene manta‑ray encounters that locals revere as sea guardians, and the kids’ emotional reactions to the impending departure. The crew also immerses themselves in local culture, joining a potluck where Indonesian‑style fish is prepared by nearby fishermen, underscoring the community spirit that has defined their voyages. Highlights include Riley’s daring dive for dinner, Lydia’s playful mishap with a fellow sailor, and the shared sense of adventure that persists despite the bittersweet tone. The final episode promises a celebratory route through Raja, aiming to end the sailing saga on a high note. The transition signals a broader trend among long‑term travelers seeking sustainable, land‑based living. It offers viewers a blueprint for turning wanderlust into a grounded, environmentally conscious lifestyle while preserving the sense of exploration that defined their time at sea.
