Why Sailing Around The World With Kids Is Dangerous

By Linda Ruiz


Sailing the world brings a lot of pleasure for people who love to travel. Sailing involves being exposed to nature for a long period of time and it may be pleasurable or even life threatening. Sailing around the world with kids is something that many people fear because it puts the children in a lot of danger. There are however some guideline that people can follow to make sure their children are safe when traveling.

The dangers of raising kids on a sail boat were highlighted a few months ago when a family of sailors called the emergency rescue after their youngest daughter who was one year old got really ill and the boat system malfunctioned. There some people who think that parents who raise children on a sail boat are crazy while others really love it.

There are many perils that are connected to the cruising trips. For example, the youngsters may get ill when the vessel is in an isolated location with no facilities to get them cured. There are some sea tempests that are very unsafe and they put sailors in the risk of capsizing. This action is also very biased for these children for they miss the numerous experiences that normal kids undergo.

Some sailors however think that this life is good it is just that it is not the life for everyone. They believe it is fine to include the children in the trip. They think the experience and the skills these children learn in the sail trips are worth the risk they are put through.

The sailing parents also believe that the conventional parents also get caught up between doing the things they love and taking care of their children. They believe that they know when the risk has become too much. Many people think that they are just being selfish because they lack the ability to give up their adventurous life for the sake of their children. The parents however say that their children are not inconveniently part of the trip but they are there because their parents wish to share the experience.

The experiences of youngsters have a great influence on their lives especially on their manners, their conceptual and bodily health. These kids do not have the chance to connect with others and therefore they end up being anti-social. They also miss many school practices because they get schooled at home as opposed to attending a conventional school like others do.

Sailing with kids is with no doubt a remarkable adventure. It is however advisable that these parents always consider the risk they put these children in. If it is something they are sure they want to do, they can at least live on dry land until the kids are old enough to take the trip. Very little children get sick easily therefore it is not advisable to have them at sea.

It is important that these parents stop being selfish as this is something they choose themselves and they cannot know for sure if the children enjoy that kind of life. If the children are old enough they can have the power to choose if they want to take the risk or not.
