Cruise Bahamas with the kids ??
I am considering a charter in the Bahamas (Abacos) with The Moorings
in mid-April. My wife and I would be taking our 7yr old boy and 5yr old girl. This would be our first sailing trip as an entire family, so I want it to be a good experience that will hopefully lead to future trips or a boat of our own someday (we are from N.C.). We are considering about 4-5 days on the boat. My question is whether it is advisable to take children of this age with us. They are very good swimmers so they would no doubt enjoy the water and beaches, plus giving us greater confidence in their safety. I understand that the weather and water conditions are mild to moderate so I am not overly concerned about their safety or comfort. I just want them to have fun!! Seems like it be a real treat for kids to be outdoors and around the water. My kids are active, non-TV types, anyway. Any thoughts? Take some games with us in case of rain? Is 4-5 days too long? Any thoughts on anchorages or marinas in the Abacos that kids would especially enjoy? Keep the sailing to short hops? Get off the boat regularly? Will boat length make a difference (we are getting a 41)? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, OEW |
