Family Fun on the Ottawa River
Curious about family sailing and overnighting with kids on the Ottawa River? Get a glimpse of one family's experiences on the Ottawa River in their sailing "camper on the water". The Smith's have been sailing, exploring and overnighting on the Ottawa River since 2016 when they acquired their 32-foot Hunter sailboat Saint of Circumstance. Ensuring maximum safety - and fun, are the essentials for successful family boating adventures. Over the past 8 years (beginning when Lily was 5 and Dominic was 3), through hundreds of outings (and some adversity) on the Ottawa River, the Smiths will share some of their experiences and "best practices" that keeps them setting off for more! When Meghan (and puppy Audrey) joined the crew in 2022, the fun (and culinary proficiency) multiplied exponentially, and last summer, the family spent 25 nights on the water.
