A Two Year Mediterranean Family Sailing Adventure
Allen, Karalee, Kevin, Jocelyn, and David onboard Dragonsinger
As a family, we had an incredible opportunity open up for us in early 2001. After David and Karalee Greer had both sold their businesses, they decided to do something completely different. They commissioned a sailboat in the South of France and sailed 5,000 NM in the Mediterranean until 2003, while home schooling their three children Jocelyn, Kevin, and Allen.
