The Ocean TRAVELLING Family, still STUCK due to Virus! Ep.250

#250 Join us for our last few days of living a domesticated life, before we get confirmation that we can SET SAIL!! In this episode, we make the most of our time left in our beautiful villa before moving back onboard. All of the open space and fresh air has done wonders for us, Lenny in particular. He has been in his element, wandering endlessly. The sea has been calling us like never before.. 🌊🌊⛵️🌊

To the family who welcomed you, a massive thank you. As a Portuguese I couldn't be more proud of my people. And to you guys thank you for sharing those moments with us and specially for appreciating such hospitality, you will be always welcome and there will be always people to help you one way or another. Good winds for you guys and stay safe!

[@paulodeoliveira3368]

Concordo!

[@TheLillyLongoria]

lenny is growing up how all kids should. dirty, in the mud, getting into thing you arent supposed to, and taking a few tumbles here and there. elayna, LOVED what you were saying about how everyone you meet serves a different purpose. so wise!

yes!!!

[@LouiseFlynn95]

You're a great story teller Elayna, you got me to tears today when you spoke about the kindness that family brought to you during a tough time. I hope to experience and meet the sort of people you guys get to when I am no longer in lockdown. Love to you all xx

Another excellent slice of life episode, friends. I must compliment you on the consistency of your directorial / editorial style, wherein you make the everyday - shopping, food preparation, cleaning up after Lenny and entertaining or distracting him - such a delight for us all. Smooth sailing and best wishes to you, and to all your patrons, from Bruce in Bathurst NSW Australia.

[@erents1]

My wife and I love your videos, we admire you and wish you only the best. I can say as a father and a grandfather that Lenny is a very lucky boy to have you both as parents. You mentioned your concerns about Lenny being very active while heading back on board La Vagabonde, we share your concerns he is so precious! During the time my wife and I were raising our children we lived very active and adventurous lifestyles. We were always backpacking, kayaking, sailing, cycling, skiing etc. and I must admit that at times we used a dog leash to secure our children! Yes a dog leash, we would hook it to a harness or P.F.D. It worked very well for us as we walked along cliffs or especially when we were sailing. Just so you know we will not condemn you if you choose to tether the lad on occasion and don't worry both of our children turned out perfectly normal and they still talk to us nearly everyday!

[@MattNormanFilms]

Watching you guys is like watching family. Thank you. Xxx

[@pkane5472]

Your story-telling and cinematography is far beyond anyone else. Your attention to detail is amazing - even with Lenny running wild! So sorry the dogs took out your garden.... But, that's what dogs do.....

I just can’t get enough of your vlogs 🛥 I think you guys should post twice a week ⚓️

[@lawrencegleason4666]

Okay, you are video pros. This is well and truly far above your usual fare. Just some quick examples: the dive into the pool with the cutaway to underwater, to surfacing to the Carona beer. The slicing of the mint and squeezing that lime among that crushed ice all to Spanish guitar music. The colours are incredible- you've enhanced those a bit. Great video bit of following Lennie- at his eye level- out the door and along a path. All very impressive and of a very high standard and I'm only at 7:46 so far. Great video, superb editing. Fair dinkum, mates.

[@surib7255]

So proud that you have received a bit of the great portuguese lovely spirit. People are kind and love to be great hosts! Portugal is beautiful and I am glad you enjoyed a bit of it during these hard times!

[@SkylinersYeti]

Life is what you make of it. Live each day regardless of situation or let life pass you by. I am sitting in our log cabin in the forest with a warm fire in stove, lite drizzle outside but in an hour leave with our travel trailer for the wilds of Central Oregon. Life is good.

[@sailingavocet]

[@rlross49]

Lenny is a riot! Good luck keeping him in tow now that he is off and running! I’m sure he’s going to keep you very busy. I’m so happy that you are back on the boat getting ready to sail. Have fun!

I'm so excited for the precious little baby boy to go a million miles and explore. What wonderful parents he has

[@TheLaussac]

I just wanted to say that I really love what you represent, at least to me, in times like these. The life you live shows us that no matter where you are, who you are, the color of your skin, your religion or culture, nothing matters if you have love and respect for the people you meet, the people around you. I think this is so precious for us and mostly for Lenny, that is growing up learning this from you, and at such an important and meaningful time! I just love it! Warm hugs from Rio ❤️🇧🇷

[@garysmith5781]

Lenny is adorable. Yes he is getting around rather quickly..I raised 4 kids on boats, my youngest 13, took his first steps on our boat in Hawaii, we currently live in Key West on our hatteras. Watch the little man, he is quick and the water is ever so close on a boat..blessings😁

[@fredbarnes3280]

Love you all. Lenny is such a sweet charming boy. Beautiful family. All the best.

Lenny looks so much happier being able to roam around freely and explore his beautiful new surroundings!

[@wadejones4543]

From watching your first video 5 years ago to now, words cannot describe it, yes it’s been quite a ride. To watch you to go up on camera is something else, yes we see very little into your life, But from meeting you to all you do, y’all are truly beautiful inspirational people. That’s has work so hard to get where you are at today. I determination grit and persistence you have but into this adventure speaks volumes. Fair wins. To a truly beautiful family.

Love the Algarve. The people and landscape. One of the nicest places in so many ways!!

[@isabelmorgado5675]

This whole video was just me in a pot, i was born in Faro in the Algarve, region i love and lived most of my life in the Azorean islands, you will absolutely love it! Amazing magical place, you'll be treated with the amazing hospitality Portugal is known for, but with a special hint of love from people and nature itself. God knows i miss my Azores!

[@Sportsfilmappreciator]

You guys, I have fallen for your channel. Never sailed ever before but now I want to...somehow. More than anything though, your charm, endless positivity and real nature in the face of tough times is so incredibly inspiring! Especially as you’re stuck on land like us, I have no doubt your channel would thrive even if stationary. Thanks for another amazing video from a grateful subscriber! -Josh

Awesome Darryl Kerrigan cameo. For those wondering, that movie is called The Castle (1997 - www.imdb.com/title/tt0118826/). If you want to see a slice of the (slightly sur)real Australia, check it out. Features Eric Bana in his 1st movie. Great to see you guys back on the water. Looks like we're resuming Sydney Harbour racing next weekend. Can't wait.

It warms my heart to see The Lenonator helping mom & dad plant things & get in the dirt. It’s the right of little boys & girls worldwide to explore & get dirty doing it. You all are wonderful to keep track of, I’ve been watching from the beginning & love the whole transition from singles to parents. You bring class & joy to the community & world! I bid you safe sailing.

If you had to self isolate anywhere, Portugal is hard to beat. Ten years ago I spent six weeks in the Alentajo region and like you Riley, I dug holes for my keep! Hard yakka with all the rocks in the soil, yet very satisfying at the end of the day. Wash the dust away with a couple of Super Bocks and life is good. Enjoy the freedom of the ocean again guys and love your work! Greetings from Albany WA :)

Yes but she butchered the pronunciation but that doesn't matter when hygge is involved.

[@1958pobs]

It is closer pronounced like 'hugh' in Hugh Jackman and 'gir' in girl. So 'hugh-gir'. It's not quite there but...

Portugal looks awesome.The house looks awesome, rustic country chic. Sorry for your friends loss, but the dinner looked fabulous. Was the ocean water warm? Wish you had shown more of your trips into town. The town seemed very modern.

Hi, you lovely family. I love your lifestyle and your values on this planet. I´m from Finland and there are millions like me, loving our Baltic sea. I want to invite you here to sail around the marvellous sea and its lovely little harbours. The summertime, from may to september, the nightless nights and never ending days are awesome. The Baltic sea is very sensitive and worth protecting and saving. So I believe you can get much followers and patreons while sailing here some summertime. Love, Marjo
