Hey folks! It's been super quiet here lately, so just to spark some discussion, I thought I'd let you all know about a post I wrote for a group blog I'm part...
Loved your post and I always laugh when asked about "socialization". After sailing extensively in the Bahamas for three seasons now my kids have literally...
Amen to that Laureen! I can relate so much to dealing with people who are judgemental. It is exhausting trying to justify what we are doing and how we are...
Laureen, Diane, Catherine and all the boatschooling mamas, Thank you for the lift! Of all the various challenges that living aboard with children will bring, I...

Thanks for posting the link Laureen. It's funny because we too are unschooling liveaboards planning to cruise soon -- and we have also found that the childless...
Laureen, You know you're usually speaking to my/our heart(s). Unschoolers rule, although it has none (VBG!), and meddlers drool! MYOB should be part of the...
Heya! ... YAY!!!!!! ... Amen. It's like people see the life getting sucked out of their landbound kids, and don't see why. ... Remind me where you're planning...
Ask and you shall receive. I posted a few photos in the yahoo group photo file under "toy storage" so you get the idea. We've had this system in place so long...
I am forwarding this in case anyone is wanting to work on a 2nd language. This freebie really teaches you something, and if you decide to try the full package,...
I just finished writing my free Monday homeschooling unit study. This time it focuses on Japan! Check it out: http://homeschoolingADDkids.com/blog/ ...
Can anyone give me some practical advive about cruising with baby on board? I dont mean tied to the dock either! We are expecting our first child this May and...
regarding life line netting, I'd look at that as a third or fourth line of defense when they begin walking.  The first line of defense is having a lock on...
Hi Kirsten, I am sorry I don't have any real advice other than what's been mentioned. I just wanted to say good on you for being brave enough to take the...
I just remembered something we did for the kiddos when they were little - we got a big tub to fill with water and kept it on the floor of the cockpit whilst...
Thanks Doug. As the last line of defence is it therefore not needed? Im all for netting, my husband thinks it gives a false sense of security , and is not so...
Thanks Catherine. Good idea on the paddling pool. With the size of our boat may have to trim it down to a large container! If you think of anything let me...
We've had netting on our boat since the kids were 3 and 5 years old and love having it there. Depends if you want to put it on in your home port or away...
I would think it really depends on the boat.  Our boat is a catamaran, nice wide flat decks that don't heel and it has a toe rail and a lower lifeline...
regarding toys, we use a "bag" system, where we have several different cloth bags that you can organize your toys into.   building block bag, plastic...
Doug, I like the idea of the extra lifelines around the boat. Our netting is a lot different than your description, though. Our netting has been on the boat...
Hi Kirsten, Regarding the netting, which I know you said you may not use, I thought I'd put my 2 cents in. We did have it as I was paranoid not to and instead...
Heya! ... Well, we're still tied to the dock, but we're taking off in October. For diapers, I would strongly, strongly recommend you look into elimination ...
One of the absolute BEST things about cutting the lines and actually cruising away is that you move from the dock based community to the cruising community. We...
Ahhhh but, my dear Toast, what's to *discuss* here? All I can do is be jealous! Y'all have fun! Gonna meet up with Behan & Co. anytime soon? Wish we were...
This is the Atlantic Cruising Club's book, 253 Marinas Reviewed and Rated, it says, CD ROM included. 2006, 7th Edition. Preference given to the best story, or...
Part 2 of the Japan free homeschooling unit study is now up: http://homeschoolingADDkids.com/blog/ <http://homeschoolingADDkids.com/blog/> --Kevin Broccoli ...
To all, We have twin 18 month old boys. We have a sailboat on Long Island Sound. We love day sailing and want to bring the kids. Last year, we spent a week on...
Welcome fellow Long Island sailor! We're in Northport - if you ever come here and need to hit the grocery or need a babysitter, let us know. :) I've got 4...
Set Free - thanks for a prompt reply. Glad to hear there are other boaters with kids out there! We live in Roslyn. We belonged to Knickerbocker Yacht club...
