THE FAMILY ON SV FIKA
ALISON
Hi, I'm Alison!
I completed the Great Loop as a liveaboard family, wrote the book Remote Work Afloat, and built the tools I wish I'd had.
You've planned, prepped, and finally cast off. And then, somewhere in the first 48 hours, it hits you. Not the adventure you imagined. Something rawer, stranger, and ultimately more real than that.
