School.

Ewan (age 10) and Gwynnie (age 8) are active kids who have jumped into the homeschool experience for the last couple of years as we prepared ourselves to be able to live and work from anywhere. They will be in 5th and 4th grade, respectively, during the bulk of our travels.

Chris will continue to be the primary learning guide, working with the kids on their studies and supporting their research about upcoming destinations. He'll dinghy them into town so they can learn and explore while Alison finishes her typical workday.

We'll explore and voyage together when school and work are complete for the day!

Groceries.

One of the beautiful things about America's Great Loop is that you are almost always near land. While some towns are not as accessible as others, there are plenty of places along the way where we can gather standard provisions.

When we see that an upcoming distance may be more difficult to find nearby grocery stops or don't have conveniences like grocery delivery, we'll be sure to stock our cupboards ahead of time with plenty of options to keep us going until we have another opportunity to shop.

Appointments.

All families have appointments with the dentist, eye doctor, or other such check-ups. We'll plan to cluster our appointments together as much as possible to limit trips home. The regular cadence of recurring appointments should allow us to complete some before we launch in the spring and handle another batch around Thanksgiving, when we may return home to visit family.
