We are a family of 4
2 parents, 1 teenager, and 1 senior citizen
our dog Chase. Weve come to realize that the traditional landlubber life has lost its flare, so weve decided to sell everything we own and purchase a bluewater yacht that will take us to places unknown around the world!
I am 35 years old and this plan of sailing the world has been a very real dream for me for about 5 years now. Before that it was just a mere thought. Our son is 14 and up until the last year, he had no interest of leaving land, school, and friends behind to live on a boat. So, a long-term plan it would remain for us until the day he came to me and said Ive changed my mind, I would really like to travel the world and surf the best spots. That was about 6 months ago and weve talked of nothing else since then. He has dreams of becoming a professional surfer and wants to get out there and see what the world has to offer, so we hope to help him see those dreams come true.
I love the ocean and I love the outdoors. The three of us are all avid Scuba Divers; Dieter and I are working towards Instructor Certifications. We also plan to get our Captains Licenses so that one day, we may share our love of the ocean with others not so fortunate. But for now, we want to travel the world and enrich our sons learning with experiences you simply cant find in the classroom. We plan to do that by travelling to the worlds most unique destinations in search of cultural experiences, ultimate diving, and extreme surfing.
Follow along at Diving into Cruising - Liveaboard Family Sailing, Diving, and Surfing the World as we share everything that we learn along the way. Oh, and one more interesting tidbit .We have no idea how to sail yet! We look forward to learning and hope to gain valuable knowledge from our readers as well as pass it on to others along the way.
