Hey Jade! You sounded so brave telling your personal history, congrats!! Glad to see how ppl inspire other ppl... I was also planning to learn sailing this month, but it's been sadly postponed. I'm happy to see t by these guys are still on it, cos today I don't see anyone of us getting out of home... I really hope we all can continue enjoying sea life very soon and overcome our miseries merging ourselves in nature :) lots of virtual hugs to everyone from Dubai!! Stay 💪

Lenny is just the happiest little peeler out there. Great job parenting Elena and Riley!

They just keep getting better. Lenny puts a smile on Judy's and my face every time we see him. Love you dude!!!!!!!

That little Lenny bear is so precious! I love his growls and the way his smile just explodes into joy and glee, rather like both of parents. Thanks for the tour around Annapolis. Hope to get up there next year.

Such a lovely and calm episode. Lenny being a ray of sunshine is adorable as always

I always love your comments and reasons behind how should we help environment while sustaining local economy. It is refreshing to hear you being open minded and trying to understand different people and their reasons. I had this argument with my cousin who is a perfectionist and as soon as she puts her mind to an idea, she has to do 100% right. I feel that it is very hard to be 100% zero waste, vegan and travel in a sustainable way so I try to do all of that to some extent but I don't beat myself or others for not committing fully. Otherwise, I would be fully depressed about my failure. So yeah, keep an open mind, that is so important in this opinionated and close minded world! Love you guys!

Yep. My 4 yr old asks for Baby Lenny videos now

I’ve been following your journey since I started my PhD 3 Years ago. Through all the ups and downs of that, your videos have been rays of sunshine and inspiration to me, and especially now as I write up my thesis (architectural history), in self isolation due to Covid19. Keep doing what you’re doing - it’s truly great and important, and I am SO glad you have little Lenny. This gorgeous boy is clearly the joy of your life, and he’s wormed his way into my heart too - seeing the adorable clips and watching him grow melts my heart every week. If you ever need a babysitter in the UK, let me know! Can’t wait for the next video!

Riley and Elayna - This is now probably my most favorite video you have done. I have grown up on the Chesapeake Bay and have been following you for years so this one is personal (although I loved your visit to the Crab Claw!). In the region, the pandemic is now starting to hit hard and this video would make any Marylander so happy right now. You do a great service to our local environment with your explanation of the critical nature of oysters and understanding of the complexity of the problem. Your visuals and editing and, of course, natural enjoyment with Lenny and Dave accompanying, are beyond compare. To think that you have created this wonderful video needed at this time in the region knowing that it is a precursor to your unbelievable adventure getting Greta and her father to Europe is just amazing. Thank you so much and I hope your little family is safe and healthy at this time. Now, I'm off to the Patreon page . . . !

Monday's and I have never got along. Today, so much the truth! Come home and you guys let me relax and remember how great life is. Now your on my home turf, the East Coast, and another reminder of how great life!!! Thanks guys!!! A+!!! 👍👍👍

You know it's a great KZread channel when you tear up from smiling during every episode.

@@Bluuplanet I suspect it's not a question of being locked down, but where they can stay long term. Millions of people have returned to their home countries as the borders were sealed, and those borders will stay sealed for perhaps 18 months. Migration and tourism will be non-existent for a long time, especially as more xenophobic national populists come to power or are re-elected and have to contend with mass unemployment and quite likely hyperinflation.

As an Annapolitan myself married to a native, I really enjoyed your video of your visit to our little town. Back in the day Annapolis was deemed to be indefensible, so the main activity of commerce was moved to Baltimore. Once that happened Annapolis was not of much interest to invading armies or pirates. Because it was bypassed and never burned to the ground, we have the largest collection of Colonial and Federal era buildings. Our statehouse is the oldest capitol building in continuous use as a seat of government in the US. Starting in the mid-1960's the historic preservation bug hit the town hard. Magnificent buildings like the Paca House and the Hammond Harwood House, both of which are open for tourists, were restored with great precision. The Paca House is described in James Mitchner's tome "Chesapeake" albeit under a different name, and in the '60's it really did have a hotel hanging off the back. I see that your boat has the good stuff by B&G which was always my favorite. I sailed the bay for over 20 years in our 1977 vintage Endeavour 37, the "Happy Puppy." Unfortunately age and health forced us to give up our boat 18 months ago. We donated it to C.R.A.B., Chesapeake Recreational Access to Boating, which takes handicapped people out sailing, and it went to a good home, a couple from Dallas who are going to keep it nearby as a summer thing. Before I go I think I'm going to have to adopt Lenny, if as I guess his formal name is Leonard which is my middle name.

Every time you post I truly feel I am there experiencing the journey places, people and being there with you. Thank you!

If I am grumpy, sad, mad or any other unsavory feelings sometimes (not often, but sometimes), watching these episodes ALWAYS lift my spirits!

Oh Lenny! Could not be more cute!! That kid is pure love💓👶💓

Something ultra peaceful and soothing about this episode.

Yesss! Your channel has become a recent addition and with all that’s going on, I can’t look more forward to your new videos!

Lenny can't get any cuter! I love his growing. Stay safe please. God bless you and your little family.

Not even 2 mins in... iam already cracking up at that zoom in on lennys sneaky puke ahahha

Its a crazy time we're all living through. All three of you bring a little sunshine, laughter and escape during a challenging time. Be well. and thank you. I'm glad to provide you a little support. Steve

Annapolis is so amazing. You showed it justice. Also you have had many hair styles over the years and they all look great. Not fair lol. This is one of my favorites.

I have lived on the Chesapeake Bay my whole life. Lived in St. Michaels and Graduated school their. Glad you got to my area of the world. Keep the videos coming. Stay safe.

There is NOTHING better than a good cup of coffee and a new episode of SLV in the morning. Thank you Riley, Elayna & Lenny for another relaxing day during these crazy times. Stay safe guys! Fair winds and following seas La Vagabonde !!!

You People are my Love....Salute and REspect

Seeing my tiny little state through your eyes warms my heart. I’ve lived in Maryland since I was 8 years old, and with both of my parents having gone to the naval academy I’ve been in and around Annapolis most of my life. Thank you for doing it justice, and for showing the world how beautiful Maryland can be :,)

Lenny's growl is great. We love it!!!!!!!

I swear these videos are like therapy. Sending so much love to you 3 💗💕💗

As always a heart felt thank you for all the work you do to include us in your lives.

Thank you for these great vids. When I was young I worked building wooden boats on the Chesapeake. Now I am a luthier and musician who gets to the Carribean as often as i can . Before this current madness started , I had just returned from a bareboat trip in the BVI which was wonderfully awesome but much too short. Again thank you for lifting my spirits with these glimpses into your life. I enjoy Lenny a lot (4 kids of my own all grown) . Best wishes to you wonderfull people. Also thanks for getting Greta back to Europe.

Being a lifelong Maryland resident and avid Bay kayaker, it's so nice to heard you say positive things about my home. I so look forward to each vlog. :-)

Thanks for painting a lovely picture of Annapolis. You captured the spirit and home town feel of the place we also call the Capital of our state of Maryland. Being from Baltimore, I visit there a great deal.

That was one of my favourite episodes for sure. Intelligently filmed and edited with all the details that made us feel that we lived it through your lens. The filming, the editing, the sound designing, the clipse orchestrating, Ohh it's brilliant it's just brilliant.

Your videos have gotten me through the last 2 weeks with the Covid virus. There hasn’t been a lot that has made me feel better, but your videos are such a bright spot! Who doesn’t smile when seeing that adorable, crazy, growling toddler? I’m starting to feel much better and thank you for being a ray of sunshine during this uneasy time.

Thanks for the 16 minute vacation guys, really needed it tonight.

Great spot Annapolis, the Navy Academy Amazing...the bars on the harbor👍👍

Thanks for visiting the Annapolis Maritime Museum, we loved sharing our Museum Campus with you!

That bookstore looked absolutely magical. Thanks for sharing your adventures and all the little nooks and crannies you visit along the way. I'm thinking a trip out to the Eastern US should definitely be in our future! May you all stay safe and healthy during this pandemic.
