The first step in living aboard and sailing around the world is choosing a boat. There are many different types of boats to choose from, so it is important to do your research and find a boat that is right for you and your family.
Here are a few things to consider when choosing a boat:
- Size: How many people will you be living aboard? How much storage space do you need?
- Type: What type of sailing do you plan to do? Will you be mostly coastal sailing or will you be crossing oceans?
- Budget: How much can you afford to spend on a boat?
Once you have considered these factors, you can start to narrow down your choices. It is a good idea to visit a boat show or talk to a boat broker to learn more about different types of boats.
Once you have chosen a boat, you will need to equip it for living aboard. This includes installing a galley, a bathroom, and sleeping quarters. You will also need to stock your boat with food, water, and other supplies.
Here is a checklist of some of the things you will need to equip your boat:
- Galley: stove, oven, refrigerator, sink, storage
- Bathroom: toilet, shower, sink
- Sleeping quarters: beds, bedding, storage
- Safety equipment: life jackets, flares, fire extinguisher, first aid kit
- Navigation equipment: GPS, charts, compass
- Communication equipment: VHF radio, SSB radio, satellite phone
Sailing with children can be a great experience, but it is also important to be prepared for the challenges. Here are a few tips for sailing with children:
- Start small: Don't try to sail across an ocean on your first trip with children. Start with shorter trips and gradually increase the distance as your children get older and more experienced.
- Make it fun: Children are more likely to enjoy sailing if they are involved in the process. Let them help with sailing, navigation, and other tasks.
- Be prepared for seasickness: Seasickness is a common problem for children, especially on longer trips. Be sure to have plenty of medication on hand and keep your children hydrated.
- Be safe: Always wear life jackets when sailing with children. And be sure to supervise your children at all times.
Homeschooling while living aboard can be a great way to provide your children with a well-rounded education. Here are a few tips for homeschooling while living aboard:
- Create a schedule: It is important to create a schedule for your homeschooling lessons. This will help your children stay on track and make it easier for you to plan your day.
- Be flexible: Things don't always go according to plan when you are living aboard. Be flexible with your schedule and be prepared to adjust it as needed.
- Use resources: There are many resources available to help you homeschool your children while living aboard. These resources include online courses, textbooks, and curriculum guides.
- Connect with other homeschooling families: There are many homeschooling families who live aboard. Connecting with these families can provide you with support and encouragement.
Living aboard can be a relatively affordable way to travel the world. However, it is important to budget carefully to make sure that you can cover your expenses. Here are a few tips for budgeting for life aboard:
- Track your expenses: Keep track of all of your expenses, including food, fuel, repairs, and other costs. This will help you identify areas where you can save money.
- Cook meals on board: Eating out can be expensive, especially when you are living aboard. Cook meals on board as often as possible to save money.
- Shop around for supplies: Don't be afraid to shop around for supplies. There are many different places to buy food, fuel, and other supplies. Compare prices before you buy to get the best deals.
- Be frugal: There are many ways to be frugal while living aboard. For example, you can use less water, turn off lights when you leave a room, and repair things yourself instead of hiring a professional.
Living aboard and sailing around the world can be a life-changing experience. It is a great way to see the world, learn new things, and bond with your family.
