'We Live on a Sailboat in the Caribbean-Here's What Life on the High Seas Is Like'
Briefly

The Morse family from Idaho took a bold step by selling everything to sail in the Caribbean, seeking a lifestyle transformative experience away from the typical 9-to-5 grind. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they grew increasingly frustrated with their conventional lives, yearning for more quality time with their children. After initially traveling the country in an RV, the idea of sailing emerged, leading them to find inspiration from families doing similar adventures online. Despite challenges, they feel this new life has enriched them significantly, fostering closer family bonds and personal growth.
"I was working as a nurse at the time, so there was an incredible amount of stress that I was carrying around. Plus, we were also just generally fed up with the 9-to-5 grind-it felt like it was stealing the single most important thing we have in this life, our time, especially from our kids."
"When we were three months into our RV trip, we started thinking about going back to the status quo... it almost felt like a waste because it had taken so much work to cut ties with our former lives."
