Yachting

We've gone a couple of times this week with Chrysalis to the yacht where she works teaching two home schooled children, T and R.

The yacht, the Infinity, is about to embark on a sail around the Pacific, visiting remote islands to do work with the people there in coping with climate change.

The Infinity is a huge yacht - 36 metres, so the kids had loads of space to run around and play in.

T and R did a little bit of time spent doing schoolwork, with Littletree watching on interestedly

It was interesting for us, and for Littletree especially, who has been unschooled her whole life, to see how kids do school work when homeschooled with more structure.

But before too long they decided it was too hot to do so much, and they all jumped off the back of the boat for a swim.

The kids, thus refreshed, the girls built a cubby house with sarongs and sheets while R went out wake-boarding

Finally Littletree fell asleep on a bean bag, exhausted from all the heat and sun and running about, and no doubt still a little jet-lagged.

We ended up being on the boat while Chrysalis was working till late, so we slept over, Littletree and I taking one of the cabins onboard. I woke up in the early morning, to be greeted by dawn light streaming in the porthole, and a beautiful tropical island view

Yep, it's a hard life... but someone's gotta live it! LOL
