The Gifford family left their home in Washington in 2008 to sail around the world. They have not stopped since. We met up with them in the summer of 2016 in Noank, Connecticut to learn their story and to see how they all live on a 47-foot sailboat.
Follow the Giffords on their journey.

No. I love my immediate family, but I also need my extended family and my friends from school, work and church. I also enjoy meeting new people when am out doing errands. Am very gregarious at times, but also quiet at times. But at least I have that choice. We go to the beach often and love to swim and surf in the ocean and occasionally go sailing and on boat cruises big and small. But to live on a boat would not be my first choice. It sounds like this is what they can afford.

I remember how difficult it was growing up in a shared room with my sibling. Now imagine a shared cabin with one bed, and most of the time only seeing your immediate family. Even if the kids have other sea hippie friends, they probably can't hang out a lot. This would be a cool adventure for a year or two, or sailing for a few months each year, but 9 consecutive years?! I would lose my mind and jump off the boat. I hope those kids will be ok. I also hope the parents have enough savings for unexpected repairs, medical expenses, or if some of those kids want to study.

Well a lot of siblings share bedrooms on land too. Not everyone has the luxury of a private bedroom if there are a lot of kids in family. However, I agree with you overall about being too close. That is why I don't think tiny houses are good for more than 1 or 2 adults. Maybe an infant but as kids age they want some privacy and being on top of everyone is not that. There are pros to the though in that they are getting a great education about the world and different cultures.

I agree. Beautiful idea and I want to take my future kids everywhere - I want them to be citizens of the world and meet people and make friends from all over our awesome planet. But I think I also want them to have a home base and friends they can see all the time and the stability that offers. But if it works for this family, that's fantastic!
@ryangregohara
@ryangregohara 3 года назад
@@kikib8434 I have young kids now and I think the fundamental thing they need is to be cared for and have stability in their life. As they get older though it will be important for them to learn how to develop deep bonds and relationships with others that are forged over years...not week long surface level relationship. Without that I don’t think they can find happiness and empathy as they age. So my goal isn’t to raise kids....it is to raise my kids to be well adjusted, empathetic and happy adults; I don’t think I can do that by having them on a boat for their formative years. I need them to make mistakes with their friends and expand their radius from home over a few years; to learn the value of a dollar by flipping burgers at McDonald’s etc. I wouldn’t toss out the idea of a year or maybe even two on a boat but it can’t be to the detriment of those life experiences.

People don't realise that every destination you get to you meet other families with children in similar age groups and they explore and play together all the time. It can get a bit lonely or frustrating occasionally but not for long. Usually great people around the corner and a lot of families stick together as they sail the world so they always have their interactions plus the new people they meet along the way. The children and teens I've met that are doing this are on average the most balanced, responsible, creative and fun to be around! Very switched on and smart too because they are engaged in everything from bartering, dealing with different cultures, cleaning the boat inside and out, repairs and maintenance onboard, and involved in real life risk assessment as the things they do tend to have higher consequences than your kid playing in the back yard. Until you've successfully brought up a perfect adult I don't think anybody can say that this is a negative experience for them.. just different.. but with a lot of experiences and lessons that most adults will never even get to experience and learn!

@mneisbaarI do know what I’m talking about.. I never said I was an expert on transoceanic travel, my comment was addressing the irony of the mother using the argument that her best memories were field trips when the draw of field trips is that they are a rare occurrence and they are away from family. Further, you didn’t have to resort to insult particularly when, A. You missed the point of the comment and B. Your one year on a ketch hardly makes you the expert on the social effects living a transient life on a boat with virtually no private space has on an adolescent.

My family did this on a Morgan 41’. We started from Ft. Lauderdale, spent a year sailing through The Bahamas, and another year along the chain of islands (Turks and Caicos, DR, PR, the VI’s) to St. Maarten where we stopped. I had two years of Correspondence Courses but started high school in Sxm. My parents decided to stop there in order to do some charter work with the boat (the Pretty Penny) to earn some money to continue our travels. But we never left. There is no better way for children to grow up. The experiences I had could fill a book.

The people who think the children are missing out on social interaction are wrong because these children have seen the world, and are learning directly from the experience of traveling with their parents as their guardians and mentors. To live like this requires super intelligence and dedication. It's a family that has taken responsibility for themselves, and God had blessed them with the boat and resources to pull it off.

I had a GF once who grew up under similar circumstances. She kinda figured that her own language was "family language" because nobody else spoke it in the places they went to. They returned to her home country about the time she had to go to school. She felt completely awkward around all these new people, shocked how everyone was speaking her language, and had a very hard time just sitting on a chair, being used to hanging off a mast and what not ... even in her twenties when I met her she still felt outside the world of other people and very insecure about herself, even though she was highly intelligent.

@whynottalklikeapirat
@whynottalklikeapirat 3 года назад
@@redditstop1653 there is no hard and fast standard when it comes to these things. I should know - I was a public school teacher for many years. It all depends on a lot of factors combined - what sort of class you end up in, whether or not you have any alternative venues of social exploration, personality and tempramental factors, formative experiences, the home situation at crucal moments etc ... I guess she was a bit of a cautious one to begin with. And bear in mind that many kids may appear to adapt simply because they learned to give off the right impression at the right time. I’ve seen that in a fair amount of kids with parents who’d move around internationally with their job situation. The smart ones are easy to overlook, but really you don’t even have to be smart, you just need the right amount of pressure. Kids find a way, but sometimes they carry some the price of that way for a life-time, being unable to truly settle into places or relationships or form strong, intimate bonds with anything. My then girlfriend was not like that though. she was just smart, sensitive and insecure about herself and what to do with all that input. So she adopted a sort of cautious attitude that might come across as introverted and slightly aloof. She wasn’t really socially awkward but she could appear to be, and I think she sometimes felt that way as well so it was easy for her to get into a sort of negative feedback cycle that reinforced that fundamental feeling of being outside the world of other people. She was not like a kid who’d moved from one city to another but more like one who’d been living on a mountain top or island with only a few people and perhaps a few animals being the entire known population - and then got introduced to roaring civilisation.
@whynottalklikeapirat
@whynottalklikeapirat 2 года назад
@Dirty Lettuce True indeed. It’s not so much her background itself but more the fact that she appeared to be unresolved about it somehow and at the time it was part of some of her personal struggles. That could be due to a number of things. Sadly not everyone gets to learn and adapt through experience. Sometimes it’s more than some people can wrap themselves around. Life can be tougher than we are. But she was not in that category at all …

Socially, these kids are missing out on close, long term friendships. They should cruise in the summer, and give the kids a break. The adults lived their lives and can benefit from this lifestyle.

A lot of people here are saying “these kids are missing out, or won’t be socialized”. Do you not see that they will have more world experience and knowledge interacting with other people and other cultures a million times better than any of us. We tend to socialize in small bubbles limiting our ability to learn and change. I think learning in the way they are is a better opportunity to learn, than the traditional schooling and social system we have all become accustomed to. Want to go to Africa and get along with all the locals? I bet you they will be ten steps ahead of you by the time they are 15 than you at 50. Unless your an avid world traveler that is 😂😂😂

if you have more than two functioning brain cells you already know the answer to that question,the lowest common denominator of intelligence seems to flock to the flatheads.if flat earthers could scientifically prove anything it would be awesome,it just hasn't happened yet and luckily it never will,you can't hold a baseball and say its flat unless you are oblivious or stupid.ever wonder were gps comes from,your cell phone signal,or your satellite tv,your sat phone when isolated,or every single infrastructure completely reliant on satellite imagery and data? ever wonder why water stays in a pail when you spin it around?its the same reason water stays stuck to the globe but on a much larger scale,flat tards need to expand their perspective,the globe is HUGE.the ice wall is not there.

Not having a good education? A pair of college educated parents with access to an online remote schooling program could blow the socks off of most public schools. I know several friends who are public school teachers, they do so because they failed at literally everything else. Most of your public school teachers are the same.

the boy is now attending college I believe. If you have kids, you make the choices for them. They are kids, parents who say they will raise their kids like they are friends are the worst parents around, their kids tend to be the worst kids too. When you dont make the choices for them, you end up with teen pregnancies, criminal records, obese, lazy , selfrightouse bastards who want socialism so they can get everything for free. (statistics being many more young people want socialism than older people).

Cognitive Dissonance I don’t think you seem to comprehend the meaning of condescending.

Whereas the reply, saying something like “Their life is way better than yours” is a bit condescending in my opinion. I don’t know, maybe I misread it.
