Family of Four's 9-Year Journey Living Aboard a 53ft Sailboat

A Decade of Life on the Water

• 🏠 Our home is a 53ft sailboat, where a family of four lives full-time on the ocean.
• 🛋️ The saloon area features a table with integrated cutlery storage and a fridge with an under-bench freezer.
• 🍳 The galley, or boat kitchen, is equipped with a chest fridge, ample food storage, a stove, and an oven.

Living Quarters and Amenities

• 🛏️ The parents' cabin includes a bed and an ensuite bathroom with an inside shower and toilet.
• 🧑‍ children's rooms are located at the front of the boat, in the V-birth, with an additional bathroom featuring a shower and toilet.

Daily Life and Provisions

• 🛒 A trip to Costco involves taking a bus, requiring a walk after being dropped off.
• 🎣 While the family usually catches their own fish, they visit the fish market in La Cruz, Mexico, for fresh tuna.
• 💰 The fish market offers fresh tuna directly from the boats, with prices around 600 pesos for 2.5 kilos (approximately $30 USD).
• 🍽️ A stop for breakfast included massive breakfast burritos at a place with a whale on the front, which they found very filling.
• 🌊 After returning to the boat, the family enjoyed a refreshing swim in the ocean.
