Family
We are Discovering our life together as a Family that started
young and broke and excelled through Dad's career and acquiring
stuff. We chose to let go donating and selling most everything
but the bare essentials to ultimately spend as much of our free
time together as we possibly could... on a boat!
A Different Tack: Home-Schooling on a Boat
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.
Glayva Adventures
Heading back to Aceh, fridge full of cheese, and cupboards full of beer. Will be great to go back, as now aware of the spots we want to hang in for a while.....our secret uninhabited island, with the clearest blue water, mating turtles and coral reefs...not to mention an OK surf break, but shhhhh, I cant give too much away, or there will be a resort there next year!
Home Schooling on the High Seas
A typical day for the Adams kids is a little different. "School starts right after breakfast when we're in port or at anchor," says Jane Adams. "We take a mid-morning snack break and sometimes a quick swim. Then, we'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.
Homeschool
Afloat
The Crumpler Family from Georgia extend their homeschooling to
a learning experience afloat and took a Basic powerboating course
aboard "Red Dog." Here are the young students' perspectives
of their class.
Homeschooling
Children Aboard
Now that we've lived aboard for almost seven years with our own
kids, we are convinced. Boating families are together
families. There is no doubt in my mind that
our children are very different than their peers.
Kids
Aboard
What would you do if you had a four year old or a fourteen year
old on your boat for a month, or even just one day? There are
many things that kids can do while on board to stay occupied,
have fun and even learn something new.
Mom
and Dad Deliver the World
Presented with a unique opportunity and blessed with an adventurous
family, a veteran of the solo-sailing wars turns a boat delivery
into a 13,000-mile field trip. By Alan Nebauer, Cruising World,

Soul's Calling
Our plan is to sail for 5 months through the Caribbean. We will then go through the Panama Canal, visit the Galapagos Islands and head to the
South Pacific to explore the Marquesas Islands, French Polonesia, Cook Islands, Samoan Islands and any other islands that call to our anchor.
Starting
School - St. John's, Newfoundland
I decided against doing a set program like Calvert because I
like teaching, and I figured I could tailor the program to where
we were and what we were doing if I made up my own syllabus.

How to Take a Homeschool Cruise
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.
