Getting out on the water

I spend all week at work waiting for the weekend so I can get out on the water. I love it when we can charter a boat and get out on the water. We really enjoy boating and fishing as a family, and I find it a really good way for our family to connect. We live a very simple life on board without much space, but somehow the kids don't seem to fight. Our family loves the water. This blog has some tips, for people who are looking to have some boating holidays as a family, based on our experiences having great holidays together.
