hello,

I am writing in teh shipping agents office in Suez, boredas they keep me waiting for papers so I got a loan of thier computer (they are very nice people though inefficient) and found a fellow irishwoman had passed through here not so long ago (this is 14 March 2008). Nice blog, great story, and writing. Congratulations. I’m from Donegal, raised my kids off the grid, they’re big now and I’m 51 still with a travel bug. We are on our way to teh Seychelles and S africa, if I ever get out of this nice friendly office.

All the best

Anne Barr

Shoot, that was supposed to say “swapping stories”. (Note to self: don’t blog when half asleep, you might scare people off.)

I just stumbled across your blog this evening and was absolutely enchanted to see that you and your family are living out my dream. Ever since reading a book years ago (pre-kids) called Adventuring With Children it has been my fantasy to run off and live on a boat… I wish I’d found your blog earlier, I live just a few minutes out of Tel Aviv and would have loved to have invited your family over for dinner and an evening of swapping. Maybe you’ll come back this way again sometime… For now, I think I’m instantly hooked on your blog (but not in a creepy stalker sort of way, I’m fairly harmless once they take the straight jacket off ;-)…)

I hope your ill friend is recovering well.

Have followed a link to your blog from Reluctant Memsahib. What a fantastic blog. Love reading it. Don’t tell anyone where the chocolate is hidden.

a really interesting post and full of reflection: life on a boat may only be 48 ft long but it takes you round the world: houses can’t do that. so protected in some ways but very out there in others.

“Overall people are usually very complimentary about our kids. And very relieved to see how normal they are. I think we have gone from being an interesting curiousity to a social experiment in the last four years. “How will they turn out?””

Ain’t that the truth: ”interesting social experiment”, brilliantly put. You know what: they’ll turn out all the better for it. Good luck. (great header image, btw).
