Visiting Active Volcanos in Italy, Mud Baths and Fleeing Stromboli on our Sail boat! Ep53
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.

#activevolcanoes #stromboli #sailingsicily
We sail to the Aoelian Islands just North of Sicily and have one of our most exciting adventures hiking to the active volcano on the island of Vulcano.
The first day we take a warm bath in the sulphur mud and the next day we take a long hike up to the crater of Vulcano, we walk around the crater and observe the sulphur steaming out from the ground and learn quite a bit about vulcanoes which is great for our schooling.
The sail to Stromboli , a recently active vulcano and are called up by the Italian coastguard and asked to remain 2 nautical miles offshore. So we quickly motor sailed away in case of any serious eruptions and headed to the Italian mainland.
We are a family with 3 children and make our own electricity and water, homeschool the kids and do our own boat maintenance. 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 this live-aboard lifestyle!
