A Different Tack: Home-Schooling on a Boat NEW
We left Maine on March 25 2000. It was cold, gray and overcast, but casting off the lines was warmed by several hundred friends who came to bid us farewell. That moment may have been the hardest of the last 2 1/2 years of sailing. There was a brief question of, "Is this the right thing to be doing with our life, with our family?" But since then, we have never had to ask that question again.

Home Schooling on the High Seas NEW
A typical day for the Adams kids is a little different. Ôø‡School starts right after breakfast when weÔø‡re in port or at anchor,Ôø‡ says Jane Adams. Ôø‡We take a mid-morning snack break and sometimes a quick swim. Then, weÔø‡re back to school until lunch and then are usually finished around 1 p.m. After school, we are off exploring. This often involves swimming/snorkeling, land exploring, or sight seeing.

How to Take a Homeschool Cruise NEW
Taking kids on a homeschool cruise provides families the opportunity to travel with a group of other homeschool families. They learn through actual experience of seeing, walking, touching and being in educational ports of calls that serve as the kids' classroom. They study with their traveling group and make new friends. Planning is the key to making sure everything goes as intended by following these steps. By eHow Travel Editor.

Reading together NEW
I read many books as a child, but I think I have enjoyed many of them twice as much when I read them with my children.
