Re: Are you cruising with kids?

Gearing up for summer with the kids cruising? Here are some winning items to have on board, at least they were for my 8 and 13 year-old. Of course fishing poles and licenses. But we got a high power fish attracting light last summer and we had worms and fish and squid and some big flying fish show up. Kids loved it. We also got an underwater viewer to take out in the dinghy and at night with a dive light we could see lobsters out for a prowl. Also the little stove top Omnia oven was great for the kids to bake muffins or cookies. (It's also good to have a dinghy or inflatable kayak that the kids can lean over the side of.)

Re: Are you cruising with kids?

We are moving aboard in mid-July, just south of Newport. We intend to go north for the summer, then get down to the Chesapeake by October. Then probably sail to St Martin and spend the winter in the Caribbean, then back to states in April or so via Bahamas. Then maybe up the ICW. Work is expecting me back June 1.
Our crew includes two kids who will turn 8 and 10 this summer. We are motivated to meet other families cruising with kids, or even grown-ups who still think they are kids

Well, you posted here just fine! And this is probably the most visible place. The social groups suffer from being hard to find, and/or not receiving notice when other posts are added. However, once over at the social group you can choose a discussion that is already there to "post a reply" to or you can start a new discussion with a new title.

Posting here is probably more visible to most folks so posting to both the thread and social group is a good idea too.
