We need a new dinghy / tender for our sailing boat, it needs to be lightweight and a good price because we are getting cracking in our gelcoat. Apart from Highfield, I also discovered 3D Tenders, Quicksilver and AB / Lamima rigid inflatable boats. How do ...
Without other boat kids around and a repair list as long as our boat, we decided to try out the local Spanish schools for the winter so that the kids learn a bit of Spanish, meet some other kids their own age and we can crack on with our jobs aboard. We a...

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 experiment...

After the dinghy disaster in Ibiza the kids surprised us with their ability to spring into action and make dinner while we dealt with the problem. A few days later we found the footage of their.. inspired approach.
Leaving Ibiza, we headed for the Spanish...

Marinas in Ibiza are expensive so the only way to get water is to pay for a 30 minute slot and go like crazy to get everything plugged in, charged up, filled up and washed down! The shops are further away so that means a trip on the dinghy and a walk up th...
Kelibia was the last port of call in Tunisia. Although it was sad to leave Tunisia, we weren’t quite as sad to leave behind the smells and flies of the fishing port. Although killing flies became a full-time sport for our youngest!

It was another one of those epic passages with a ripped headsail and near misses with unidentified vessels in the night - a bit disconcerting with reports of refugee boats around the Libyan coast. But it was exciting sailing to a completely new continent e...
