    Never apologize for giving us a taste of your reality. Whether at sea or on land our lives are full of ups and downs. We feel like you are members of our families and sharing the bad times and the good are what loving families do with each other. Just as you bring us so much wonder and extension in our COVID small worlds we send you love and support and gratitude. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. All love.

      Yep, covid has stuffed up the entire world and has made it extremely difficult for live aboard cruisers to have that land reset with family and friends that is so very important to mental well being. Covid has affected many land dwellers in the same way where people are unable to connect and to catch up with their loved ones for that very important mental health reset. It’s difficult for everyone, but for the cruisers, half a world away from their love ones it is more so. Hope that they get the opportunity to reconnect soon with their families and friends.

    As a father of two now fully grown "boys" who were a lot like Lenny when they were his age...not to scare you, but learn how to do stitches so that when (not if) he falls and cuts himself on the chin or eyebrow you know what to do.

Sterry strips are good, we used them multiple times, but for really bad cuts our little guy got lots of stitches. The older one tended to break bones, but he got a few stitches.

    Please don't ever apologize for the hard times. Life is life whether on land or on sea. By being open and honest it invites your viewers into your world in a unique way. While we can't be your 'family' really, it is a form of community while you are away from home and missing all the great things associated with that. You are indeed in a unique circumstance in a very unique and challenging time in the world and I am not surprised that you would be feeling the way you are, especially with a second child coming. Sending support from Canada. Thank you for the excellent productions you consistently put out.
