Our long-time dreams and plans became a reality when we bought the Grand Cru, packed our life, and transformed into a sailing family. On July 2022, we set sail and changed our lives forever. This is the beginning of our journey. . #FollowYourDreams #MakingThingsHappen #LiveYourDream #FromADreamToReality #MakeThingsHappen #FromDreamToReality #MakeAChange #OurJourney #OurBoat #OurCatamaram #Excited #HelloBoat #SailingFamily #SailingLife #BoatLife #LiveAboard #SailWithKids #SailingWithKids #Sailing #LoveSailing #Catamaran #CatamaranLife #Lagoon400 #SailingCatamaran #OurJourney #follow_the_5un #svGrandCru .

Our first week on the boat, and we're already learning to expect the unexpected: strong winds, things breaking, and kids not sleeping. And yet, we enjoy what we have and breathe through everything else. Is this going to get better? . . #FollowYourDreams #MakingThingsHappen #LiveYourDream #FromADreamToReality #MakeThingsHappen #FromDreamToReality #MakeAChange #OurJourney #OurBoat #OurCatamaram #Excited #SailingFamily #SailingLife #BoatLife #LiveAboard #SailWithKids #SailingWithKids #Sailing #LoveSailing #Catamaran #CatamaranLife #Lagoon400 #SailingCatamaran #FirstSail #OurJourney #follow_the_5un . .

During our first couple of weeks on the boat, we learned two important lessons: (1) something always needed to be fixed on the boat, and (2) enjoy the moment and learn how to have fun in every situation. . . #FollowYourDreams #MakingThingsHappen #LiveYourDream #FromADreamToReality #MakeThingsHappen #FromDreamToReality #MakeAChange #OurJourney #OurBoat #OurCatamaram #Excited #SailingFamily #SailingLife #BoatLife #LiveAboard #SailWithKids #SailingWithKids #Sailing #LoveSailing #Catamaran #CatamaranLife #Lagoon400 #boatlife #SailingCatamaran #FirstSail #BoatLifeSkills #SailingLifeSkills #BoatMailfundtions #OurJourney #follow_the_5un . .

Our first "long" stay in a marina, we got some major boat fixes done. And we learned to adapt our timeline expectation to a more realistic one and enjoyed exploring a bit of France by car. . . #FollowYourDreams #MakingThingsHappen #LiveYourDream #FromADreamToReality #MakeThingsHappen #FromDreamToReality #MakeAChange #OurJourney #OurBoat #OurCatamaram #Excited #SailingFamily #SailingLife #BoatLife #LiveAboard #SailWithKids #SailingWithKids #Sailing #LoveSailing #Catamaran #CatamaranLife #Lagoon400 #boatlife #SailingCatamaran #FirstSail #BoatLifeSkills #SailingLifeSkills #BoatMailfundtions #SailingFrance #ExploreFrance #OurJourney #follow_the_5un . .

Sailing the French Riviera to Italy, visiting some beautiful small cities, and enjoying the public transportation for some inland day trips. Did you ever sail a catamaran into a marina with only one motor and sail halfway up? Well, we did. Sailing life is a lot about sailing, but mostly about embracing that something will always happen. It's only a question of how you will react and handle the situation. . . #FollowYourDreams #MakingThingsHappen #LiveYourDream #FromADreamToReality #MakeThingsHappen #OurJourney #OurBoat #OurCatamaram #SailingFamily #SailingLife #BoatLife #LiveAboard #SailWithKids #SailingWithKids #Sailing #LoveSailing #Catamaran #CatamaranLife #Lagoon400 #LagoonCatamaran #SailingCatamaran #BoatLifeSkills #SailingLifeSkills #BoatMailfundtions #SailingFrance #SailingItaly #TravelTheWorld #ExploringTheWorld #SailingTheWorld #SailingTheMed #ExploreFrance #OurJourney #follow_the_5un . .

August 2022 - The month that changed sailing life for us. We learned to slow down, take a breath when life tells us, and appreciate every moment we have. Part 1 - Discovering the Cinque Terre area and the north coast of Corsica. More boat malfunctions caused our mood to change from pure happiness to complete despair in seconds. . . #FollowYourDreams #OurBoat #OurCatamaram #SailingFamily #SailingLife #BoatLife #LiveAboard #SailWithKids #SailingWithKids #Sailing #LoveSailing #Catamaran #CatamaranLife #Lagoon400 #LoveSailing #LagoonCatamaran #SailingCatamaran #BoatLifeSkills #SailingLifeSkills #BoatMalfunctions #SailingFrance #SailingItaly #TravelTheWorld #ExploringTheWorld #SailingTheWorld #SailingTheMed #TravelingFamily #OurJourney #follow_the_5un #FollowThe5un . .

On August 18, 2022, we were anchored in Porto, Corsica. We had no idea a Derecho was coming toward us. A Derecho is a storm, similar to a hurricane or a tornado, only in a straight line. No swirling. It ran from Majorca, Manorca, through Corsica to mainland Europe: Italy, Austria, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic, causing great damage and 12 deaths. Some weather forecasts anticipated the storm in a way, but most of them completely missed it, making it invisible if you didn't check the right model. In Corsica alone, the winds increased to 225 km/h (140 mph), 5 people died, and more than 125 water rescues were required. Luckily, we were not one of them. This is our story of the Corsica Storm. . I would like to use the opportunity to thank the people of Porto Ota who were so kind to us and to Hotel Brise de Mer. Thank you, @tobiapapetti, for letting us use your original video taken from SV Why Not. . #CorsicaStorm #Corsica #Derecho #MediterraneanStorm #Storm #Waves #StrongWind #FollowYourDreams #OurBoat #OurCatamaram #SailingFamily #SailingLife #BoatLife #LiveAboard #SailWithKids #SailingWithKids #Sailing #LoveSailing #Catamaran #CatamaranLife #Lagoon400 #LoveSailing #LagoonCatamaran #SailingCatamaran #BoatLifeSkills #SailingLifeSkills #BoatMalfunctions #SailingCorsica #TravelTheWorld #ExploringTheWorld #SailingTheWorld #SailingTheMed #TravelingFamily #OurJourney #follow_the_5un #FollowThe5un . .

I fell into a running propeller. Yes. It happened. Bad decision-making in a stressful situation that ended with a lot of luck and a forever numb heel. Lesson learned excruciatingly, and now it's time to step up and share how I ended up with my leg in the running propeller. . . #BoatFail #BoatFails #Propeller #BoatAccident #LessonLearned #BoatLifePain #CrazyInjury #SailingFail #MooringFail #WhatCanGoWorng #BadDecisions #SailingLife #SailingFamily #Corsica #FollowYourDreams #OurBoat #OurCatamaram #LiveAboard #SailWithKids #SailingWithKids #Sailing #LoveSailing #Catamaran #CatamaranLife #Lagoon400 #LoveSailing #LagoonCatamaran #SailingCatamaran #BoatLifeSkills #SailingLifeSkills #SailingCorsica #TravelTheWorld #ExploringTheWorld #SailingTheWorld #SailingTheMed #TravelingFamily #OurJourney #follow_the_5un #FollowThe5un . .
