Swmbo gets withdrawal symptons if she can't get phone signal and facebook three days running, so yesterday I had to buy a local (France) pre-pay mobile and 4G. About 120 euros for enough (theoretically) for the rest of the summer.

Shame the instructions are in French.......

Teach them to like sailing, fishing and rowing. If they don't like it tough, they will learn. IMO

i'm if you kids are not into sailing then trying to recreate a land based lifestyle on a boat will lead to tensions and resentment. better to wait until they are old enough to leave at home. Then give them the opportunity to choose what to do.

You are quite right , one has said no more boat for her and went to Spain with her mate and as I haven't launched this year the issue with other two hasn't arisen again ...
