#sailingfamily #familyvlog #sailingaroundtheworld #familytravelvlog #boatlife #bucketlist #lifestyle #travel #sailboat We crossed the Southern Atlantic — 2,048 nm from St. Helena to Recife, Brazil, in 16 slow, rewarding days. What happened on this passage: 16 days, 2,048 nm: long, light-wind slog across the Southern Atlantic Parasailor workhorse: set it more times than we can count and even repaired it at sea Boat projects: knocked out a few repairs and upgrades while underway Finding the groove: settled into life at sea and the routines that keep everything running Highlights: calm, frustrating light-air sailing, sail changes, onboard repairs, and those quiet ocean moments that make passages memorable.

We are a suburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and now want to travel the world. After planning and saving for the past 6 years, we are now embracing our dream of sailing around the world on our Leopard 45 sailing catamaran. Follow our journey as we Circumnavigate the Globe in 3-4 years on a budget of $4,800/month (food, communication, fuel, insurance, transportation, mooring/marina & fun). We left the USA in October 2023 and plan to visit 26 countries on 5 different continents all while worldschooling a budding teen in our off grid tiny house. 🏆 Looking for boating spreadsheets, inside info or wanna help keep the dream alive?
