Pinned against the South American Coast, Trying to Sail WEST! Ep148
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.

To sail from Panama to the Galapagos, we were told to head South on this passage until you reach the trade winds but we didn’t realise how South you had to go or how difficult this may be and that we may also end up going North West and South East while trying to get West. The other thing that made this passage particulary challenging was dodging the lightening storms and dealing with the not so nice weather.
Oh well I guess that is sailing…..
