And we thought we were crazy!
2008 October 23
To us, selling off everything and running away to live on a sailboat, when you don’t yet know how to sail, sounds a bit crazy. Apparently it’s not quite crazy enough. I stumbled across a Blog written by two Canadians from Vancouver who not only did (are doing) just that, these two are sailing around the world!
I have been captivated by their Blog which is detailing their trip and am truly inspired. Check it out:

Just came across your site and plan on thoroughly exploring and reading!! bit of info. I hail from a bit west of you in Belleville and parents are still there. I’m glad to hear of other people who are just as crazy as we are. We are in the process of selling our home and becoming liveaboards full time.. except I have 4 children ages 9 and under. So probably seem a bit crazier and also very limited..very …sailboat experience. Perhaps sooner than anticipated as..my husband has the great job of working in alaska for the ever so popular BP..enough said on that. Sooo once we figure out what we are doing and manage to get our soon to be boat out of oil’s way we shall of course be making the trek upwards into Canada…..Refreshing to see someone esle has done this and proven themselves not to be actually crazy!!!!

Hi Kim
Thanks for the comment. Where is your boat now?
As for cruising with kids, yes, that’s a bit more crazy
than what we’re doing but many people have certainly done it. In fact, one of our dock neighbors just told us that he and his wife sailed to the bahamas in 1980 with 3 kids; 10, 8 and 14 months! They also did it on a 30 footer!
