Day 2: Waking up to a dream! [Ep2]

We awoke to a perfect autumn day in Martha's Vineyard. We broke out all the toys, met a cruising boat with kids and just soaked in the reality of our new life aboard Archer. Looking back it was just too perfect. Almost like a dream, and we still pinch ourselves every day and we don't wake up!

-----------------
ABOUT US: We are a family of five sailing around the world on a performance catamaran named "Archer" and sharing our adventures in family-friendly episodes on KZbin!
OUR ROUTE: We departed the Boston/Cape Cod area of the United States and sailed down to the Caribbean and through the Panama Canal. We have dealt with massive repairs in the South Pacific, the Coronavirus lock down in New Zealand, a Category 5 Cyclone in Fiji, and now we are cruising in Australia.
OUR PAST: You may remember us as "SV Honeymoon?" Ten years ago ("before kids"), we sailed a Lagoon 380 named Honeymoon halfway around the world to Sydney, Australia. Along the way we shared our experiences via KZbin and, by happenstance, created one of the very first "sailing channels." We also realized what an incredible experience we were having and that someday we wanted to do it again, only this time with kids.

So awesome you are able to give your kids the opportunity to travel by sailing! It will instill an adventurous spirit, work ethic, critical thinkng, and planning skills that should serve them well the rest of their lives. Fair winds and following seas to you all.

[@crustybasterd1352]

Awesome video!!

[@kb1esx]

The kids faces were fantastic jumping off the boat. I love the youngest boys attitude.

[@gatorforlifecallygator1173]

Can’t wait for more videos. I followed you both on your adventures through the South Pacific. I have a dream of sailing around the world, but now I have to live vicariously through you all. Happy sailing!

[@judebug329]

What awesome kids! And great sailors, too! Well done, guys! Looking forward to the day the boys take off on a day sail on their own. It will be here sooner than you think!

[@TheVictoriaBoland]

[@reloadncharge9907]

Fun video, a great primer for getting kids into sailing early! Unintended consequence....when mom and dad want some quiet time on passage, you now have three young sailors that can take over and hand, reef and steer! Well done! Thanks, Andrew

[@MrBillFletcherr]

Good Job dad.

[@darrenanderson7936]

Thank you for letting us follow your family on this adventure. Who says you can't live a dream through someone else. Would love to see a video of the boat and the factors that lead you to this boat?

[@S.V.TeFiti]

I cant wait for my 2 and 5 yo boys lot get a little older, before our family pushes off... Whats been the kids fav items onboard? That bicsport is a nice add-on.

[@regieendsley9750]

Wish I'd had a Bic 60+ years ago. My dad built me a kit sail boat. Dad was a carpenter not a sailor. The kit had terrible sail plan. Basically it was just a down wind sailer. We lived 2 blocks from a lake and I'd load it on our child's wagon along with its sail rudder, and a paddle and take it to the lake. Bet you never heard of a kid going sailing in wagon.

[@RedfieldmediaCoUk]

Sharrrrrk! 😉🦈

[@TheSailingFamily]

Welcome!!!

[@24hourtravellers]

Inspiring. We are preparing to drive from Malaysia to the UK and also soon learning how to sail and one day hope to do what you are doing. Sometimes I wanna skip fast forward straight to living on a boat. Does it take long to master sailing?

[@AtokVlog]
