Hi there, life in the boat is great as long as you have things to do, otherwise it
can be boring. We have had lots of storms with heavy seas and snow. It is
not super cold, but very windy. I recommend kids do as many expeditions as
you can because you get to discover the world. Make sure adults you trust
know where you are when exploring around. You can start by exploring places
that are nearby being curious to see what it around and how things change
through out the year. This will give you a strong foorhold to embark in
more ambitious expeditions like this one.
Thanks for writing,
Juan.
