The Koehorst family are setting off on a family adventure of a life time, which will take them to exotic places all over the world. Dina and Pete Koehorst live in Cape Town, South Africa. They have two sons — Robin and Matthew. The elder boy Robin is eight, his brother is five. Dina and Pete are experienced sailors. They say they have always wanted to go on a sea voyage, they have wished to do it for more than ten years.

"We have always been dreaming about the day when we can sell our house and business in exchange for a life on the sea," said Mrs Koehorst in the interview last Friday. "We suddenly realized it was now or never. Our sons are young enough for us to cope with their education on board. The school staff have been very supportive. They have given us enough notes to use. I think they can last two years," she added.

The Koehorsts put their house on the market and were surprised when it was sold within a week. Two weeks later they sold their business and looked around for a yacht. They bought just a lovely one. It was given the name of Coquette III.

Dina's brother Richard Dennison is going to join his sister's family together with his girlfriend Lisa Templeton. "It's the right time to go," they say. "We hope to reach the US by December and will decide then whether to go to the Mediterranean or back to the Pacific," explains Richard.

The crew will leave Cape Town this week sometime — weather permitting — and head for St Helena. Next stop will be an island off Brazil and from there they plan to cruise the Caribbean. But how are the six people going to cope on a 13.6 m yacht with three cabins for weeks and weeks on end? Dina said, "That shouldn't be a problem. We have always lived closely together and Pete and I worked together for years."
