Sailing East in the Caribbean has always been called the “Thorny Path” because it’s not all that easy to do. Ideally you wait for an unusual break in the highly consistent trade winds, or pray for the angle to shift just enough to the north that you can eek out a ESE voyage. But more typically you find yourself motoring into the wind and waves as that window just doesn’t seem to come. This was the case we found ourselves in after waiting for the ideal window that never developed. And if you watched our Salty Dawg video, you’ll know we were really looking forward to some calm sailing after our passage south. Here’s how it all went!

ABOUT US: WE ARE THE SAILING FAMILY!
Welcome aboard. We are a family of five sailing around the world on our “dream boat,” a performance catamaran named “Archer.”
Ten years ago, before kids, we sailed a Lagoon 380 named “Honeymoon” halfway around the world from the East Coast of the US to Sydney, Australia. Along the way we shared our experiences with family and friends via YouTube, and by happenstance created the first “sailing channel.” But more than anything, we realized what an incredible experience that first trip was and that someday we wanted to do it again, only this time with our kids.
We want to share with them the importance of taking time to be with family. To show them a world outside of the one they grew up in. We want them to appreciate how lucky we are to experience (and to care for) the natural beauty of this world. But mostly we want to spend time with our kids during these formative years and create lasting memories as a family. That’s why we are “The Sailing Family.”
OUR ROUTE has taken us from the Boston/Cape Cod area of the United States down to the Caribbean and then on to the Panama Canal. At the time of posting this we are dealing with a repair in the South Pacific, and in 2020 we hope to be in New Zealand and Southeast Asia. By 2021 we will be in the Med and close to completing our circumnavigation.
