In case you haven’t seen the Interview With a Cruiser Project website do head over there (after reading this post of course!) and check it out. Livia of Estrellita 5.10b maintains this collection of interviews with cruisers who have/had been out there for at least two years with a new interview posted each Monday. It is fascinating; what strikes me is how differently we all do the same thing.
Another family, currently on the east coast but setting out any day on a looong drive to their new-to-them boat Del Viento down south in Mexico, posted a couple of interviews with their soon-to-be-cruising two daughters. To add to the little collection of soon-to-be-cruiser interviews, here’s Leah’s take on our whole endeavor:
How old are you?
Five.
What is the name of your boat?
Wondertime
What are you going to be doing this summer?
Hmmm….sailing?
What is your favorite part about living on a boat?
Looking for sea creatures.
What is your favorite thing to do on the boat?
Playing horse!
Is there anything you are afraid of about being on the boat?
The dark.
What don’t you like about living on the boat?
There’s nothing I don’t like.
What are you going to do when we get to Mexico?
I would like to go ashore and look for sea creatures. But I don’t know because I haven’t been there yet.
What is school going to be like next year?
I don’t know.
What are some of the rules that you need to follow on the boat?
Don’t go on the deck without a life jacket. No playing on the steps!

Play with My Little Ponies.

Snorkeling!
Bravo! I’m eager to meet the little sailor.
We are excited to meet your family too! Hope you have a wonderful road trip next month!
I’ll try to do this interview soon. One recent question to Ruby, “Do you like living on a boat?” was answered with, “I don’t like it. I LOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!”
Great answer Ruby! 🙂 I can’t wait to read the rest of the interview.
