Just Cruizin On Bluemoon

Two of the greatest gifts we can give our children are roots and wings

Welcome!

Our website is a way to keep in touch with family and friends, sharing our sailing and cruising experiences along the way.

 
We started out on our trip from Durban, South Africa, on the 3rd July 2007,  and have been sailing the Indian Ocean, exploring a lot of Mozambique, Tanzania, Kilimanjaro, Madagascar, Mayotte, and Seychelles. 

  "Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood."

     Our adventurous sailing trip has been one with many objectives ...  

  Spending quality time with each other; Learning to work together; Learning about our environment; Learning about the ocean, fish, whales, sharks & dolphins; Learning about the true wonders of nature;  Learning about Geography; The enjoyment of meeting new people, and listening to their stories; Enjoying peace and quiet, the galaxy and the mysteries of the skies; Learning about ourselves, our abilities, Learning to trust ourselves; Including making us all more aware of other cultures, their lifestyles, food, language, music and their ways of life. 

Also, to teach ourselves, and especially our children, about our own values, principals, and morals. 

      Having home-schooled our children for the last 7 years, it has opened a door to learning in a different way. We hope that with an open approach, they will have a better understanding, which will add to a more enriched future!

 Although sailing to Thailand was our original goal when we left South Africa, we landed up in other exotic places meeting some wonderful and precious people!

Also, sadly, we lost a very special sailor and great friend, Ralph on                  Kai Shara...

We cut our trip short and flew back to SA in April 2008, on business, also tying up loose ends, yet will be back in August 2008, to cross over to Thailand finally!!
