After two years of sailing, 91原创鈥檚 Erin Easingwood, husband Stu and children Ellie and Lily are selling their catamaran and settling down on land.

Since January of 2020, home had been the Skookum V, a 39鈥�4鈥� Leopard 40 blue water catamaran, and the waters of the Mexican coast.

But Skookum is for sale now, and the voyage has ended, with Easingwood announcing the family has decided to settle in Northern Ireland, where Stu comes from, after visiting relatives in July of last year.

鈥淎fter witnessing our girls thriving in the presence of their grandparents, as well as other family and dear friends, we came to the easy conclusion that we needed to provide the girls the opportunity to grow up in closer proximity to the love we found here [in Ireland],鈥� Easingwood said in her message posted to , the site that has recounted the family鈥檚 aquatic adventures.

鈥淲e are deeply conscious of the fact we simply do not know how long we have with each other on this earth, and as such, we felt it was important to make these decisions now,鈥� Easingwood said.

Ellie, the oldest, was also keen on starting 鈥榬eal school鈥�, Easingwood added.

鈥淲hile ending our sailing sabbatical considerably earlier than either of us expected, it is our hope that Skookum can bring joy to her next owners in the way she did for us.鈥�

When she was a child, Erin would watch 鈥淪wiss Family Robinson鈥� and read 鈥淚sland of the Blue Dolphins鈥�, and dream about travelling to exotic place.

Stu dreamed, too, of sailing across the ocean to his native Ireland.

The Easingwood family adventure began in November of 2020, when they sold their home.

In December, Erin wrapped up her last day of practicing law in 91原创 and in January, the family set sail aboard Skookum V.

At the time, Ellie was four and Lily was three.

On their first passage south in the Sea of Cortez, they had an memorable encounter with a superpod of more than 200 dolphins who came to play in the bow wave of their new home.

In an August 91原创 Advance Times story, Easingwood said there was 鈥渁 sense of 鈥榟ome鈥� I will always miss about 91原创,鈥� but after 15 years of working as a lawyer, she was increasingly disillusioned with the time constraints and emotional demands of the job.

She wasn鈥檛 sure if she would ever return to the profession.

鈥淲hatever I do, it likely won鈥檛 be in the traditional billable hour, firm setting,鈥� Easingwood said.

鈥淯ltimately, I would like to find ways to contribute to the world (aside from trying to raise two decent human beings), and I think that may be connected to writing in some way, but I haven鈥檛 quite formulated a solid idea of what that looks like.鈥�
