19. The risks and rewards of raising a family on a boat

19. The risks and rewards of raising a family on a boat

What is it like to live on a sailboat and raise a family? Not just for a few years, but for over a decade. And not just one or two kids, but five. If you think this set up might result to some interesting stories, you would be right!


Today’s guest, Tanya Hackney, has written a book that is full of stories that give a good look at an adventurous life onboard. In this episode we talk about some of those stories and Tanya shares how she and her husband Jay made their sailing dream happen. The book is called “Leaving the Safe Harbor: The Risks and Rewards of Raising a Family on a Boat” and having had the pleasure to read it, I truly recommend it for anyone interested in this lifestyle, whether you have kids or not.


📖 Tanya's book is available on Amazon in paperback and e-book!
