Category: Holidays and Celebrations

Holidays and Celebrations describes how we celebrate afloat and what we have learned about other cultural traditions and public holidays that we’d never heard about until we travelled.

Halloween in the Florida Keys

Welcome to Becoming A Sailor. I've written more than 250 posts about our travels on our St Francis 50 catamaran. We have been sailing since 2015, and our four kids have grown up on our sailboat. This is not a sailing log. Instead, it's an immersive record of a life afloat. I write to recreate the moment, whether we're standing on a volcano or cleaning our boat bottom.
