Lily has been island-hopping for the last three years aboard her sailboat “Robin Hood” with her husband and tribe of monkeys – three boys ages 8 months, 3, and 5. Thanks to boat repairs, she has done more island living than island hopping for the past two winters, but she’s not about to start complaining! A big believer in teaching old dogs new tricks, she is perpetually trying to learn new things from guitar to skateboarding to various ill-advised water sports.

Follow her adventures in children, beach-hopping, and boating on Instagram @boatsboardsandbabies and on her blog, Explore New Shores.
