After SeaWorld

We caught up with Alicia, John, Ali, and Robert aboard their new home, Promise, docked at Pier 32 in National City, south of San Diego. They live aboard a 30-foot Ranger sailboat, beginning earlier this month. They’re sufficiently new to the live-aboard life that there are many small cosmetic changes to be made, plenty of projects for John, plenty of helpful know-how to be learned from other owner/residents, and plenty for all but John to learn in terminology, practice, organization, and minimalization. John gave Baron a thorough tour of the boat, while we caught up with Alicia and got a longer version of her blog about live-aboard life. They have crewed for their first regatta as a family, learned the difference between sheets and ropes, beds and berths, and settled into school routines.  We’ll follow her blog with great interest.
