BTW I agree Bob, they need an education. Not much use navigating if
they can not read a chart and do a bit of math.. Then again, we need
someone to run the needle guns and flip burgers.

Have you turned into a moron lately, Joe? You say they need an
"education" as if an education was something you could actually receive
in public schools. Stop for a moment and think how public schools have
very little to do with education nowadays. They're all about a
bureaucracy whereby incompetent teachers and administrators make large
salaries and do no educating. Rather, their jobs have become
indoctrinating young minds into the socialist agenda.

Any children on a cruising yacht, with whom their parents spend two
hours a day teaching them the three R's, will be more highly educated
than the mind-numbed retards the public school system produces. And
combine that real education with the interaction they have with
different cultures and they will be far better human beings. The only
problem I foresee is if the woman does all the teaching. The man should
do the lion's share of it.

We all share the responsibility of educating the children.

I just joined the group and thought I'd say hi. My name's Regina. I'm
a stay-at-home mom of two girls, (6 and 8). My family and I live
aboard our 66' Bruce Roberts HM 56 full time.

We bought he boat on ebay as a liveaboard project boat. We're going to
put a schooner rig on her and re-do the interior of the boat along
with the systems. As we're planning to make all the systems simple, it
won't cost as much.

Our goal with Boudicca is to live on and circumnavigate in a large
boat on a small budget.

I started a blog to follow our progress, (http://
schoonerboudicca.blogspot.com), though within the next week or two,
I'll be building a whole website, including blog, athttp://www.SchoonerBoudicca.com.

I look forward to being part of the list...

Greetings Regina;

Nice looking boat, except the ports in the hull, weld them over then
you will have a proper world crusier. Do you have the rigging?

I have a steel hull too, have been on steel boats most my life so if
you need any tips just ask. Also have lived aboard 20+ yrs.

You can get better info on alt.sailing.asa then you can here.

Good luck on your planned voyage. What a keen education your kids
could get sailing around the globe, what better school house than the
real world eh?

Thank you. She's a fiberglass boat.

Well... since she's fiberglass ...I take back everything I said good
about her ;0)

We have to fix the windows in the
hull as well as several other things. Her rig is long since gone and
we'll be re-rigging her.

Good luck on the project..

Joe

I will check out alt.sailing.asa as well...
