031: Cruising kids, Friendships and Deep Fried Mars Bars before the ARC!
February 24, 2019 by Mothership Adrift Travel and Sailing | Language: EN Play Time: 00:08:26 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In our wintering marina, we were overjoyed to be surrounded by several families cruising with kids. We did lots of fun things together going for beach walks, laser tag, the children got very creative doing cooking, arts and crafts and the adults experimented with new cultural habits such as eating deep fried #mars bars. The weather turned to rainstorms and all the families headed West to cross the Atlantic towards the Caribbean. We were all very sad to say goodbye .
We took some walks along the beach and the children couldn’t resist a swim. The girls then set up a whole fashion show on the pontoon while the boys provided the backdrop…kind of.
Then the children decided to cook a feast of a meal for all their parents, by shopping cooking and even setting up a pop up restaurant on the pontoon entertained by live music.
We took the children to #megazone or #laserzone as it is sometimes known and for more #beachwalks.
The adults also had some fun and our Scottish friend introduced the deep fried mars bar challenge, which we decided would be a good criteria for completing the Atlantic #ARC race for #cruisers.
As the fair weather turned to rain and storms, the cruising families set sail and headed West towards the Caribbean.
We were all sad to say goodbye and the children seem to struggle even more with the farewells. We reflected on the reason why we could not go with them this year and thought about the places still to explore in the Med for one more season.

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.
