Living our BEST (mid)LIFE! Empty nest on a sailboat ⛵️

Please note that this episode was filmed and uploaded a couple weeks before the horrible hurricanes came through and devastated the US. If you wish to help in the relief efforts in the US please go here: https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation.html/

After having sailed for the past 8 years with our kids: raising them, homeschooling them, and managing to circumnavigate the globe one and a half times with them… we are now alone… on a boat… wondering what to do with ourselves. But the good thing is, two of our kids (and a girlfriend and her parents) will be joining us in the coming weeks! But for now, I hope you’ll join us today as we explore the beautiful islands of the southern Caribbean on our catamaran!

As my husband and I entered our mid-40s, we realized we were completely exhausted with corporate America and the effect it was having on our marriage and our kids. Something definitely had to change. So, we saved some cash, gathered our four kids and, regardless of having no prior sailing experience, sold our suburban Texas home and bought a sailboat. Since the beginning of this crazy impromptu adventure in late 2016, we have now sailed over 30,000 nautical miles: the first year in a monohull (Beneteau 55’), the rest in a catamaran (Privilege 585). It's not our goal in these videos to be politically correct or make every viewer happy; nor is it to flaunt our obviously gorgeous and toned figures (not). We want to share honestly what we are experiencing on this adventure and how we are evolving as a family. We simply hope you laugh, learn, ponder, and get inspired. All videos will be basically rated TV-14. Happy Sailing! Renee & the Z-Crew
