Bauhaus Family: Sailing and Travel Adventures 2012

Our year long sailing adventure started Feb 2012 as a dream to take our family to places far and wide to get closer to reality while living simply. To get an email update when we post something new "join" our blog. We also recommend you visit the "route" tab to view where we've been and where we plan to go next and leave comments so we know you are there! So far in 7 months we have sailed over 2500 miles and explored 16 different countries on one 43 ft Catamaran, with a dog and 4 children.

Arrived! 2/9

Well here we are!! Finally after 24 hours of traveling we are here:

After 24 hours of this:

...we have arrived! We landed in St Lucia, where we took a put-put plane to St. Vincent. We are now on Double Down in St Vincent. Steve is here, showing us how to handle his boat for a year. Maintenance, cleaning, and all that good stuff. It is something like 80ºF here with roughly 150% humidity. There is not one minute of the day that I am not sweating. Yesterday I drank 1.5 liters of water during lunch because it was just THAT HOT. Other than that, all is well. We are all happy now that we have had a a chance to sleep. The only thing that's missing is the other half of the family (Karina, Annika, and Shawna). We will see you all back in St Lucia on Monday!
