Dad’s Gone… Kids Step Up and Run the Boat | S5 E13
After exploring the outer islands of the Seychelles, we returned to Mahé with a growing list of things that needed attention onboard. From a fridge that wasn’t staying cold to Starlink dropping out and a few other boat jobs piling up, it was time to regroup and find some solutions.
But living this life in remote places doesn’t always make things easy… so we made the call to send Dad on a whirlwind trip across the world — collecting a passport, sourcing spare parts, and catching up with family along the way. That meant the rest of us stayed behind to keep things running… with Bella stepping up and taking the helm for the week.
While Dad raced between flights, we slowed things down a little — exploring more of Mahé, visiting a beautiful spice garden with friends, and continuing life aboard as a family. Eventually, with everyone reunited and a few key problems solved, we were ready to move forward once again.
This is what it really looks like behind the scenes of sailing around the world as a family — problem solving, teamwork, and doing whatever it takes to keep the journey going.
