008: Living the Dream of a Liveaboard Family at Sea on our own Sail Boat

We finally made it!
In October of this year we upped sticks from Brighton - UK and moved to Greece to live aboard our 53' Amel Super Maramu yacht. An unbelievably emotional and stressful time leading up to the day, but so much relief when we finally stepped aboard. A lifelong dream and a decade of ambitious planning - all the hard work and financial sacrifice has finally paid off. I don't think either of us has ever worked so hard and so long to realise a dream.
So yes, we finally made it. We're now anchored in Greece in Two Rocks Bay where we've found time to catch up on some vlogging!
I can't remember when the last vlog was, but there's been so much going on. Woody went to the boatyard in Greece - twice - with his Dad and then some mates to organise engineers, get the boat ready, launch it and do a shakedown sail.
So while Woody was getting the boat ready I was organizing renting our home and making sure all the jobs were done to the house. There were lots of unfinished DIY jobs that I did with help from my friends. I was also trying to pack our bags to bring out you know, we had eight bags, a hundred and sixty kilos of luggage so I was trying to work out what we needed. I was also trying to order things for the boat which we needed like kiddy netting, a new computer, a printer, paperwork from the business, as well as doing our tax returns. I was trying to sort out health insurance cards, home schooling and in the evenings I would do tea and then when the kids went to bed I pretty much carried on for another five hours and evening working. I managed to fit in a little party on one afternoon too!
