You could do it too!
Rebecca and I will be heading to the boatyard shortly to get back on with our work, so I don’t have a lot of time to write something elaborate today. Instead, I’ll leave you with an inspiring (to me) video to watch, detailing one family’s impressive journey. Enjoy!
That was amazing! The things they have seen, just wow. I love the fact that when they hit Canada, at least I was like, oh I guess that’s it……but nope right across the Atlantic again. Those kids have had an awesome upbringing and when they are adults will probably be one of the more interesting people to have a conversation or just hang out with. Do you know if they are still going and do they have a blog?
I thought the same things when I saw them hit Canada on their animation.
Watched the video and read a bit of the blog. They seem like an incredibly capable and thoughtful family. Raising kids at sea!! Amazing people. I doubt we could have done all that they did, but we can sail pretty well. The fall is here now, with cool air and sweet wonderful sailing days.
We have several friends raising families on their boats. Respect to them.
Love the video!! Thanks for posting. I have been trying to talk my wife into this very thing. She is not keen on the idea but my six year old daughter is all for it. Gotta keep working on the wife. What and amazing family. Thanks again!!
Has she said why is she “not keen on the idea?”
She has never really given a definitive answer to that question but my suspicion is she doesn’t like open water.
I have suggested a live aboard trawler/sail class much like you and your wife did for a glimpse at what to expect and she seems somewhat receptive so it’s a start.
Good luck!
“I don’t have a lot of time to write something elaborate today”.
Sometimes less is more.
True.
And I neglected to add, thanks for pointing us to a great story. Good post!
