We're back home in our house in Exeter, NH and feeling too busy again. Few days with "no events" on the calendar. Drew lost a size and is in shape. Now he's back to arm chair computing for his company job and not moving. No raising the dinghy twice a day, hauling lines, upside down in the bilge to fix valves or install new things, and the rubbing/cleaning of daily maintenance. I, on the other hand, am playing tennis, going to yoga, and hauling bags of soil to get gardens in at home and Cross Roads House homeless shelter. I am also updating my teacher credentials presently.
This blog was used by a couple of teachers, but future plans are to make lesson plans directly related to the traveling. Daily one minute minders that students can figure out - geography and map skills with where we are going, vocabulary about the boat, problem solving situations to figure out with tide, current and wind variables, reading supplemental children's books about sailing or traveling the world.
I'll use Mazu, our dog, as the commentator.
Does anyone have other ideas for this -- Anna? Input from others would be appreciated.
More to come -- stay tuned.

Drew and Deb:
I hear you. The contrast to life on a cruising boat and life on land is very interesting to compare. Life on land sometimes seems too easy with a car to drive anywhere at any time. Easy access to power, water, food and shopping. On a cruising boat you fix everything, walk for all supplies, do physical work every day. Good for you at doing that on land as well, I am more like Drew....
