Setting Sail: How Our Family Embraced Boat Life & Homeschooling on the Water

Learning on the Loop
Written By Alison Major

Neither my husband nor I grew up boating. This was a brand new adventure for us both, and we took our kids along for the ride.

In this episode, I'll explain how we ended up learning how to sail and deciding to travel on America's Great Loop, as well as answer a few of the most common questions we hear:

  • Is it safe?

  • How much does it cost?

  • How do you afford it?

  • How do you find other families out there?
