Overnight passages with kids

And that brings us to now, on a night passage to Hanalei Bay on Kauai. It is a distance of about 100 nm, so a true overnighter. This will be our first with the two kids. Fynn is great at night as she seems to sleep through anything but she is a bit trickier to keep entertained during the day. We tag team her so neither of us gets too worn out and bounce between sit down activities like books and puzzles, and busy actives like dancing and rough and tumble play and when need a break we turn on a movie. We are certainly not superheros. Bowen is a bit easier during the day. He just need love and hugs and cuddles and food. Or he sleeps in his bed. He makes the nights trickier though! Tonight we are trying this shift: Kolby was on until Bowen’s first feed, which ended up being at 10:30. Kristine came on once Bowen was back asleep and will stay on till he wakes up again. Then Kolby is back on until the morning when Fynn will wake up. Kristine will be on then and Kolby will catch a bit of sleep. I am expecting we will both be nackered tomorrow but we will pull through! Night watch sure is a great time to catch up on blogging!
