Halfway Through Our Caribbean Sea Crossing | With 5 Kids Aboard | EP131 HD 1080p
We’re halfway through a 900-mile offshore passage across the Caribbean Sea toward Central America — five kids, two parents, and one home afloat. 🌎⛵
What started with beautiful trade winds and steady sailing quickly turned into squalls, confused seas, and long overnight watches. Offshore sailing always has a way of testing you… and this passage was no different. From smooth blue-water cruising to challenging conditions that pushed our crew and our boat, we experienced it all.
But this is why we sail — for the adventure, the growth, and the resilience it builds in our family.
In this episode:
Settling into life offshore on a long passage
Sailing through changing Caribbean conditions
Managing rough seas with kids aboard
Night watches and real-life moments at sea
The final miles and safely pulling into port in Central America
900 miles is no small undertaking, especially as a family of seven living aboard full-time. Every mile reminds us why we chose this life — freedom, challenge, and the beauty of arriving safely after earning every nautical mile.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to cross the Caribbean Sea with kids aboard, this one’s for you.
⚓ Next stop: Central America
🌊 900 miles. One family. One unforgettable passage.
