Life on the ocean with kids isn’t all sunsets and dolphins… but it’s pretty close. I’m a sailor mum to two adventurous young boys, and this book is everything I wish I’d known before we set off. From navigating pregnancy at sea and welcoming a new baby far from shore, to homeschooling on a rocking boat, making friends in far-flung anchorages, dealing with visas, and tackling boat repairs with kids underfoot… these are the real, messy, magical moments of raising a family at sea. Alongside my own journey, Vagabonde Kids shares the experiences and hard-earned wisdom of inspiring cruising families from around the world who have found joy, resilience, and success in raising and educating their children on the water. It’s part practical guide, part honest diary, and all heart — for anyone dreaming of swapping the school run for the open ocean.
