Home schooling at Home, Epicurus on the hardstand.

It's November 2007 and we are enjoying the lovely Sacramento fall weather. Katya and Matthew are making good progress with home school. Home schooling is a lot easier at home than on the boat because it is easy to keep to a fixed schedule every day of the week. There are lots of resources available such as the library, the internet, Wikipedia. We're making the most of these few months to get ahead. Once we're on the boat the pace will change with a lot more focus on learning Spanish, reading and learning about the country and ocean around us.

Epicurus is on the hard in Grenada and has survived through the hurricane season with no serious storms hitting the well protected boatyard. The season is not quite over yet but the chances of a late season hurricane hitting Grenada now are quite low.

We are starting to plan our 2008 trip back to the USA. We hope to get the boat back in the water in January and sail along the coast and islands of South America, arriving back in Florida in June.
