A Not "Normal" Life - Raising a Family at Sea - Kids, Homeschool, Repairs in TONGA (Ep. 71)
The week our family is exploring Tonga! We sail to Tonga and catch a tuna on the way. We raft up to another boat at the customs dock and wait to officially check into Tonga. Jack finds the Tonga flag and marks this country on our map! We hop around the different anchorages of Tonga with 5 or 6 other kid boats exploring caves, celebrating birthdays, wing foiling, and going to a Tongan feast. We start the process of applying for our New Zealand visas. Boat life is not complete without boat repairs - our watermaker and windlass start having issues. Our windlass leaves us pulling up our anchor in a hurry with our electric winch. We see the most beautiful island of Tonga and John gets injured while we are there. We talk about how we homeschool and about some of the books and programs we use. We provision up and refuel. Thank you for watching and subscribing. You don't know how much we appreciate it!
