Morning Haze LIVE // Family Cruisers

#142. We've got two new sponsors for this show, but before we get to them, a quick note on Mia and I. We're back stateside for a week, driving to Annapolis on the day this releases. If you're in town, join us at Fawcett Boat Supplies on Thursday March 17th (St Patty's Day!) for a free seminar we're giving on fulfilling ocean sailing dreams. Fawcett's has been holding these winter seminar series' for a while now - in fact, Matt Rutherford's is tonight, March 15 - and they're a great way to pass the off season. Hope to see you on Thursday!

This episode is sponsored by Mallard Marine Services & ATN Inc.

Episode #141 is David Hayes & Isabelle Tremblay and their beautiful girls Rebecca & Demi. The 'Morning Haze' family, as we know they - by their boat name of course! - are veterans of the podcast, having been on the show, way back in episode #53. When we spoke then, their boat 'Morning Haze' was still on the other side of the Atlantic. Since then, they've sailed another several thousand miles together as a family, completing an Atlantic Circle and returning to their shoreside home in Quebec.

We spoke in front of a live audience during the Toronto Boat Show in January, and delved a little bit into their family history, how and why they embarked on such an ambitious cruising project, what crossing an ocean (twice) in a Hunter is like, home-schooling, exploring Morocco and more. It was a lot of fun having Demi & Rebecca there this time too, to hear a bit of their perspective on what it's like cruising as kids. The family is shore-based again, enjoying hunting and camping in the wilderness at their cabin up north. Isabelle also recently joined the World Cruising Club team and will be working part-time from her home in Quebec helping out with admin and event management on the North American side.
