Day in the Life of our Liveaboard Family Celebrating Christmas

We’re a family of four on a sailboat living aboard while doing homeschool and working. While I’m working on a video of how we bought the boat while on vacation, I’m sharing a real time video of getting into the Christmas spirit here onboard.

Hi, I’m Jennifer Donogh,

the Cruise Director for our 41' ketch sailboat. We're traveling a lot, so creating healthy routines is a priority for me. Plus, planning fun excursions, meals, and onboard activities for our family of 4.

Shane’s gangster level has been engaged. Morning gym time looks different once again. I stayed cozy inside and did barre in the pilot house while the kids slept 👌

Beautiful!! This island is so beautiful no matter what season it is - or what the weather is. To be honest, I was really not looking forward to being “out” today with a forecast of rain, rain and all day rain. However, nature showed up in a big way. 

I’ve never seen such a variety of birds, wild flowers and sea life all while it felt like we were in a cloud ☁️ Up Mt Grant early in the morning and around Cattlepass in the afternoon. I have never wanted a better camera more than today. A resting hummingbird - three eagles - two foxes - many (one dead dead) seals - two quails! - and other birds I couldn’t identify. Just beautiful. 

Thank you San Juan Island!

Living adventurously every day — most of the past two years has been bursts of typical adventure coupled with a feeling of waiting for the next adventure. I don’t like feeling like I’m waiting around for the next exciting thing to happen. 

Reading up on micro adventures has helped me reframe these holding patterns. If we get to go out and explore in a typical cruising fashion - awesome. If not, there is still plenty of opportunities to make the most of our days waiting on the engine 😋

Mt. Grant Preserve is my favorite public access land we’ve been to on San Juan Island so far. Westside Preserve was also incredible.

🤯 views - even on a cloudy day! Paved road all the way up with a variety of wild life showing off as you go. Poor newt - the signs aren’t lying when they say to watch out for them.

Crazy to see the surrounding houses and guess what their views are like. I’m so grateful for the organizations in the islands that make spaces available to everyone to enjoy. It’s as close as we’ll get to Sweden’s Freedom to Roam ⛰ 🌊
