  • Sailing with Six
    Jun 30 2025

    Chris and Shona have been sailing around the world on a Leopard 46 catamaran with their four children. They started in Australia on a monohull and sailed up to the islands in the South Pacific. They then bought a catamaran in Mexico, went through the Panama Canal, up to Nova Scotia, and around the Caribbean, back through the canal, across the Pacific, through SE Asia, and to the Seychelles, where they were when I interviewed them.

    We talk about sailing with children and homeschooling, how they learned to sail, comapring monohulls and catamarans, sailing upwind, solar power, batteries, safety protocols, keeping the kids interested (by keeping the adventure alive), fears, facing the unknown, liferafts, where the friendliest people are, the most fun place, YouTube, inspiring others to think outside the box, customs & immigration in various countries (Thailand was the easiest - USA the hardest), culture shock in South Florida, swimming with manta rays and whale sharks, dinghies and outboards, dinghy anchors, beautiful moments, and more.
