Have any of your gone through potty training while living on the boat? Did you use the head or a store bought potty? When did you teach you little ones how to...
My kids are 8 and 9 and I still don't let them "flush" the head! Just too much disaster can come of it in my opinion and I don't like having to "fix" the...
Hello there. I thought I'd share my experience of potty training aboard. Wow, first of all, I'm so glad it's over. In a word, Yuk! I wish I hadn't lost my...
Any opinions about catamarans? We are considering a change. As we've never been on a cat we have no idea how they sail or feel. Any knowledge about them...

Just curious for those on this chat, what kind of catamarans do you have? We currently have a St. Francis 44 (as does Cindy on Majestic) and really love her...
