In 1980, my husband and I did, with our daughter, what you’re planning on doing with your two. We spent 5 years preparing, home schooled our daughter (not as difficult as it sounds) and traveled for 6 years aboard a 31 foot catamaran. Currently, we live aboard a 50’ catamaran in Vero Beach, FL and are planning on selling her.
The information you need is too long to swallow on the web in one shot. You’re welcome to contact me by email and we can walk you through it as we did it, one topic at a time. And best of luck to you... trust me when I tell you that what you’re planning on doing for your family is wonderful. We can also put you in touch with our daughter.. who is now 43 with a family of her own so that she can tell you about cruising from her perspective
