Living On A Sailboat & Other Questions Answered | Sailing Britican Locations
SailingBritican
#1240797 I inspire couples and families through adventure and freedom to become sailing cruisers. In 2013, my wife and 3 1/2-year-old daughter purchased the largest boat we could and sailed over 45,000 miles through the Mediterranean, crossing the Atlantic, all over the Caribbean, and along America's east coast. My wife and daughter are taking a break from sailing so our daughter can go to school. In the meantime, I'm teaching couples and families how to live the sailing life!
