Freedom Family Sailing

ABOUT US

We are the Whittakers. Silke , Tim , Luca , Nina  & Lucy (Foxterrier).

We are from New Zealand and were a typical middle class family with both parents working fulltime, paying a mortgage, the children going to a Rudolf Steiner school. Since we couldn't really afford holidays we bought a small trailer yacht, which we sailed as often as we could on long weekends or over the Christmas Holidays on Lake Rotoiti in New Zealand. With us both working full time to pay all the bills and the childrens busy social and sports schedules we realised that we barely see each other and started looking at options on how we can simplify our life and reconnect as a couple and family.  We have come to realise that life is just too short to be working so hard and missing precious time together
We decided to make a crazy plan to sell all our processions, buy a yacht and sail away.
