We're setting sail! Our family of five is leaving our cozy home in Duxbury, MA to live aboard our Beneteau 461, Chere. We will start on board in January in Charleston, SC and make our way south to the Bahamas for the winter. We are home-schooling our three boys Nat (12), Ben (9) and Win (6) as we travel.

Another beautiful morning in Charleston... We feel spoiled. Big news of the day is that while fishing, Win spotted a dolphin in our creek (for those of you who know Win it won't surprise you that he was still in his jammies). He thought it was a seal and was a bit startled to see it right next to the boat. Yesterday we were treated to a carriage ride through downtown Charleston. It was the most amazing collection of pre-revolutionary buildings I have EVER seen. Sam and I were drooling. We stowed the rest of our gear and had a pizza party at Nana and Grampa's hotel to watch the Broncos game. GO BRONCOS! We'll have to make sure that next Sat night we have good wi-fi so we can watch the big game on the computer. Today we'll work out our itinerary for the next few days. It will be fun to see the waterway!

    Love the blog so far! The boat looks gorgeous! And very put away already. Can't wait to hear more. We did the horse and buggy ride around C.Town too, and loved it. Rainbow Row especially, and the 4 corners of law...did you see them?
