About A Family Afloat

I'm a mother of 3 amazing kids (currently 18, 13, and 8) and a wife of an amazing husband. We sailed our boat to Mexico with a sail plan of going around the world. In August, 2015 we cruised out "the Gate" of San Francisco and spent 2 months going down the coast of California and 2 years exploring Mexico. From Mexico, we sailed down to Costa Rica and Panama, then across to the Galapagos. We crossed the Pacific to French Polynesia In April, 2018, from the Galapagos. Now we have landed in New Zealand, have been based here for 2 years, and where we are open to stay for a little while...

We’re making a weekend celebration out of my 34th Birthday this year. Starting from Treasure Island and heading up to Petaluma, we’re buddy boating up with s/v Sierra and s/v Gone Tomorrow on a beautiful day. More pictures to come, so stay tuned… 

 

  

Nothing like a greeting like this…

  Oh it feels so nice when I get home from working all night (as an NICU RN at UCSF) and I’m greeted by my family rowing in to get me. Today, rather than picking me up and taking me back out , they hopped out of the dinghy to roam around on land for the day. I hopped in the dinghy to row it back to the boat so that I can get a few hours of sleep in.  This seems to work pretty well for us, but we are definitely looking forward to when we leave and have a good little break from work.  Off to bed I go. Goodnight San Francisco. Enjoy the foggy day 🙂
