WHY:  That is something they are still trying to discover themselves. Both Braden and Brooke have a passion for the outdoors, especially the ocean, and they want to share that with their children. They did not want to “wait for a better time” to make the leap into this alternative lifestyle. Education is also a big factor in their decision to live life on the water. They believe in educating their children with hands on involvement and allowing their kids to discover life outside of their hometown. With no concrete plans, they will continue moving forward with the sea. “May we have fair winds and following seas.”
