Goodbye Europe, we're sailing to Morocco! But, first we have to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, which is not for the faint of heart, and neither is tackling its Rock! Or it's Bay!

Stormy weather, calm seas, & dolphins, lots of dolphins... Sailing from Ibiza to Gibraltar highlights the ups & downs of life at sea: the beauty of nature, family bonding, kids, homeschool, laughter and love. We have so much to be grateful for.

"WHERE ARE WE?" We wonder as we sail our catamaran into an anchorage that's beauty transports us back to the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia or the deep gorge coves of Thailand. This week is all about family fun in nature: snorkeling, hiking, sunset SUP races, sailing, and open air train rides. What more could you ask for?! Airplanes? We've got that, too! So, why can't we agree if we like it here? Watch to find out!

Goodbye, Italy...hello, Spain! The Balearic Islands to be exact! We're a family of four sailing around the world, and this week our catamaran is headed to the beautiful islands of Menorca and Mallorca. It's not all fun and games, though, as we experience the yin and yang of cruising life. From mellow seas, to the roughest conditions we've seen in a long time - we get surprised by weather conditions at sea, and the "shoulds" of daily life. Join us this week for some sailing, scuba diving, and family fun on the water!

Think you're ready to cross an ocean? Just dream about it? What goes into making sure your boat is ready for weeks at sea, and how to keep the crew healthy and happy during that time. This week we share our check list for getting ready to cross an ocean. We're still playing in the Med, but soon enough, we'll be crossing the Atlantic and need to make sure our boat is ready to go.
