My bride and I are considering taking a year off and doing the Great
Circle Route/Loop, a mere 5000 miles around the east coast, the Erie
Canal and the Tenn-Tom. We would take our boys who will be 14 and 15

and
home schooling them on the boat, using a prepared curriculum and a
satellite Internet connection.

Does anyone out there have any experience in this type of adventure?

Without getting bogged down in the school-vs.-homeschool argument, I'll
just add my $.02. We started homeschooling our kids a couple of years
ago. We haven't set sail yet; but we've been doing a lot of
RV-around-the-US road travelling. It's wonderful. Our kids are
currently 12 and 10.

Rather than recommend a curriculum, I'm gonna recommend that you look
into unschooling. Check unschooling.com and/or just google the term.
Especially in the context of travelling, where each day brings its own
knowledge to you, why be limited to a curriculum? School-at-home is
only slightly more freeing and educational than heading to P.S. 101
every day. Look into unschooling. You'll love it and your kids will
thank you every day of the future with their interesting, self-directed
lives.
