Sailing away.....how is it possible?

[Csail]

I never managed to get away fully but have had a lot of years where we have been cruising
for four to six months.
We have met quite a few live aboard families during this time. The majority of the kids we have met have been confident, well educated, worldly wise, polite, just really great.
I think calling live aboard parents irresponsible totally wrong, go and meet some young live aboards and maybe you will change your mind.

Go for it , i reckon we could educate ours better than the school can. Only down side is lack of kiddy friends, i mean real friends.

What you fell is often described as a mid-life-crisis. Where am I going? Is this all there is to life? Can't stand this job any longer. Etc

Most of us go through it - after all it wouldn't be work and people wouldn't pay you to do it unless it was unattractive.

But you have responsibility for the kids. Seeing dolphins round the boat wont get them into uni or into a job. Nor will pottering around the Med. They need better qualifications than that, and you owe it to them to put them first and yourself very much second having brought them into this life. Only you can decide whether you can achieve this whilst cruising ( boarding sachool maybe?).

I'm sorry if that sounds like preaching, but it is something I feel strongly about and something I had to face myself in a similar position.
