Russian family Klochkovs have been living on the ocean on their yacht Lady Mary for eight years. During that time the family passed all meridians, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, Southern Oceans, five southern capes, including Cape Horn, the Strait of Magellan, Drake Passage, and twice crossed the equator, faced countless storms and tempests. They explored the least known portion of the Pacific and proved the absence of land marked on modern nautical charts. Andrey and Marina with their two daughters repeated some of the routes of the great explorers – James Cook, Fabian Bellingshausen, Adam Krusenstern. They walked the paths of Charles Darwin, Thor Heyerdahl and Jack London, and followed in the footsteps of the characters of Jules Verne’s book. There is no evidence of other such voyage with children anywhere in the world. The family set a new world record. For the first in three months, we learned how to stay afloat in terms of our emotions. We learned how-to live-in isolation from the whole world on a 20 square meter yacht. We learned to frequently say “I love you” to each other. It has now become our special key to relieve tension in any situation and help smooth out an uncomfortable moment.
