008: Living the Dream of a Liveaboard Family at Sea on our own Sail Boat
We finally made it!
In October of this year we upped sticks from Brighton – UK and moved to Greece to live aboard our 53′ Amel Super Maramu yacht. An unbelievably emotional and stressful time leading up to the day, but so much relief when we finally stepped aboard. A lifelong dream and a decade of ambitious planning – all the hard work and financial sacrifice has finally paid off. I don’t think either of us has ever worked so hard and so long to realise a dream.
So yes, we finally made it. We’re now anchored in Greece in Two Rocks Bay where we’ve found time to catch up on some vlogging!
I can’t remember when the last vlog was, but there’s been so much going on. Woody went to the boatyard in Greece – twice – with his Dad and then some mates to organise engineers, get the boat ready, launch it and do a shakedown sail.
So while Woody was getting the boat ready I was organizing renting our home and making sure all the jobs were done to the house. There were lots of unfinished DIY jobs that I did with help from my friends. I was also trying to pack our bags to bring out you know, we had eight bags, a hundred and sixty kilos of luggage so I was trying to work out what we needed. I was also trying to order things for the boat which we needed like kiddy netting, a new computer, a printer, paperwork from the business, as well as doing our tax returns. I was trying to sort out health insurance cards, home schooling and in the evenings I would do tea and then when the kids went to bed I pretty much carried on for another five hours and evening working. I managed to fit in a little party on one afternoon too!

Mothership Adrift Travel and Sailing
We're a UK family who have saved over many years to live the dream of travelling the world with our kids. We sold our belongings, closed our business and rented our house to buy a 20 year old sailboat . We want to show the kids that there is a bigger world out there and to appreciate the simple things in life, things that you find in the sea, the woods, up mountains, along the beach , the sky and the stars. Our dream of cruising and exploring the world's oceans is matched with a desire to live a more off-grid and sustainable lifestyle. A background as RYA instructors, flotilla skippers and RNLI crew only partly prepared us for the challenges of a live-aboard life! From buying a boat to homeschooling the kids, from cooking on a budget to making money while we travel, from sailboat maintenance to visiting amazing places - join our journey and share in our world adventure, as well as the challenges of family life, through our series of video blogs.
