Our family is getting ready to cast off on July 4th 2008, leaving Caliornia and taking our two kids (Amy 9 and Jason 8ys) on the adventure of our life. We...
I think we all get tired of that attitude. But you can, you will, and you'll do an outstanding job. Your kids will be odd, no question... if by odd we mean...
Hi Rich and Lori, We too are in the prep stages. Sold the house last December, currently outfitting a larger boat (upgraded from a 30 footer to 45) and...
Hi All, It is amazing how much work it takes just to undo the dock lines for the the first time on a voyage. We are redoing so much on the boat-- the...
Well the question was directed at Nicki, but I'll start on the question of what we're using. We started strictly Calvert and Singapore Math. The materials are...
Hi Lori, I use a hodgepodge of curriculum. Right now I'm using Spectrum Spelling, phonics and language arts for the oldest and Spectrum Spelling, spectrum...

When I was getting ready to go cruising in 2001, the Seven Seas Cruising Association or SSCA had very little in the way of information or services specifically...
Thank you for the effort of providing this information if you are able. I'd like to hear from families with kids of where they may be location-wise and what...
Continuing Diane's idea, it would be helpful for folks to be able to post not just islands but hikes, restaurants, really anything that they experience that is...
The family area on www.noonsite.com was supposed to be a place for families to network - post kid's ages, where you were sailing, email addresses to hookup,...
And that's precisely the kind of input families who are starting cruising need. Families already out there could use ideas and destinations as they travel....
I'd also like to hear which anchorages/ marinas in which areas are family friendly. For example we're thinking about the Rio Dulce as a first stop, but have no...
There are several other useful websites for cruising families: Currently non-members can post on the SSCA discussion board and there are some family postings...
Hello All! My name is Dave McClintock and I feel like that guy in the TV commercial when his computer flashes "You have reached the end of the internet!" I...
Welcome, Dave! Compulsive obsessive behavior is an OUTSTANDING characteristic of a boat owner. Do not apologize. We should all be so lucky as to marry spouses...
Dave, we live in Vero Beach, Florida, which is one of most beautiful and well-protected mooring fields on the east coast of Florida. Look for our St. Francis...
To the crew of Toast, the Lagoon catamaran: If you ever get over to the Abaco Bahamas or Vero Beach, Florida, look us up on Sand Dollar, a St. Francis 44...
Hi Dave, Welcome and glad to see another cat family too. We live aboard our St. Francis 44 with our 2 year old son Zach. Not cruising right now, but plan to...
Toast, Diane, and Cindy: Thanks for the welcome! Toast, I did check out your blog and had to chuckle, I still find things in some storage space on boat that I...
... Hah! That would be http://toastfloats.blogspot.com Repeat http://toastfloats.blogspot.com. Watch Toast start pimping her own blog. I've made a whopping...
Hi all, I joined this group in December but I don't think I've ever posted. We are a family of 2 adults, 3 boys (9, 7, and 2) currently living on land in...
Welcome Dana, With three years of home schooling under your belt I bet you will have a lot to teach the group! Get ready for questions! We also have a 2 year...
Thought I'd say hello. Just joined the group - looking forward to reading more of the posts. I see there are some folks in Maryland. We are in Oxford at the...
Hello, My wife and I live just outside Annapolis (on land for now) and are in the planning phase of our home school and cruising. Our school age children are...
Dave, My family and I recently completed a five-year circumnavigation. Our daughter was five when we left. I have posted some notes on home schooling aboard on...
You are a brave family to cross the Atlantic Ocean with two small children! We were worried enough crossing the 21 hours to get to the Abacos from Florida...
I have a 1st grader and 3rd grader that we've homeschooled now for a year now. We live on Sand Dollar in Florida and the Bahamas (1/2 and 1/2 a year). I too...
Amen on basically ignoring the rules for "grade level appropriate" curriculum. Seattle calls my 6 year old a Kindergartner but she just finished the Calvert...
Just thought I'd put some of my resources out here for you. We actually paid a chunk to get this info from an online school. Education should be free though...
