June, 2015 • Latitude 38 • Page 85 THE LATITUDE 38 INTERVIEW The Horangic Family

People cruise for different reasons, but for many families the primary reasons are so the parents can spend lots of time with their kids and provide them with a broader education. That's certainly the case with the Horangic family of Menlo Park, CA, which consists of parents Basil and Caroline, and children Theodora, 14, Helen, 12 and Basil (Little B), 9. We met them in St. Barth in April after they'd crossed the Med and Atlantic, and sailed up the Windward Islands of the Caribbean on the Outremer 49 Liladhoc they'd rented from a private owner for 15 months.

Latitude 38: Basil and Caroline, the last time we saw you thing that I started later in life, but yeah, it's been really fun. was when you did a charter with us aboard 'ti Profl igate during The thing that has surprised me the most is that we haven’t the St. Barth Bucket in 2013.

We wondered if we last people we expected show up in St. Barth again, having would fi nd room for all of us and all of our stuff without being crossed the Med and the Atlantic with your three children.

When we Basil: We'd actually been thinking about doing a family started, we said we’re going to do this, this and this. But once cruise for a long time. One of the purposes of doing a charter we got started, it was just different. Some places you want to with you was to see if we could live on a cat. We'd previously spend more time than you thought you would, other places you chartered cats twice, and thought taking a long family cruise want to spend less. Because we have our own boat, we have would be an interesting thing to do. The impetus behind this the freedom to choose. is my wanting to invest real time with my kids. The ages of the Basil: I was also surprised at how you can't really plan kids really limits the time frame in which you can do this. You a cruise.

You want to be fl exible. With three kids, it's not that big a window.

But we ended up being so impressed with Turkey for investing your time with your kids wisely. Doing the cruise that we stayed a lot longer. The Turks were so friendly! Even together is intimate, and every day there is something different when language was a barrier, you could tell they really wanted going on — different places to explore, different people to meet, to help. The Greeks, on the other hand, seemed jaded and different challenges to overcome. And we're doing it together. overwhelmed with tourists. We've gotten scared together, fi xed stuff together, laughed Basil: There is so much unemployment in Greece that people together.

Basil: We've skipped languages because they're too hard. Teddy: For languages you need other students speaking them around you. Plus, I'm taking Mandarin and Helen is taking French. So we're just reviewing what language we've learned so we don't forget any of it. When we get back, we'll resume. 38: What's the worst part of the cruise? [There is a long pause during which no one seems to have anything to say.] Basil: The thought I have to eventually go back. Teddy: Yeah, having to go back. Caroline: When you cruise, you have to make adjustments in how you live, but that's a good lesson. For example, you have to be thoughtful about what resources you use. Teddy: One of our most unhappy realizations is how much energy we'd been using back home. Helen: Even to just do the dishes. On the boat we rinse everything in salt water to conserve fresh water. But we still use a ton of water. And it made it obvious how much we waste back home. 38: For the record, the average shower in California uses 50 LATITUDE / RICHARD LATITUDE gallons of water. The average home use is 192 gallons a day. Helen takes a turn at the helm. Let's talk about boat maintenance. 38: Teddy, how do you think you're doing in school? Basil: Liladhoc is a boat, so there is always something to fi x. Teddy: I think I'm caught up if not ahead. And I know I've When I mentioned the 10K rental fee, that's not the total price, been able to learn a lot of things that I wouldn't have been as it probably costs another $1,000 a month to keep things able to had I been attending a normal school.

Basil: If I were to advise someone who is going to do what Teddy: The Eastern Med has been fabulous for history. we're doing, it would be that the time spent in searching for Basil: On the Black Sea, we were right there where the the right gear will be richly rewarded. The amount of gear re- adventures of Jason and the Argonauts took place. quired for this trip has been amazing.

That's 10,000 the text." In some cases the names of places are still the same pounds of stuff that's been put on! Over the course of various airline trips to the boat, we've probably sent 40 bags of luggage at $50 a bag.

Caroline: No matter where we go, it's our son Basil who makes the most friends. Teddy: That's because the kids relate to each other through video games such as Minecraft. Caroline: He stays in touch with some of his video game friends through Facebook. Helen: We stay in touch with some Danish and French kids that we met in the Windward Islands via Facebook. Basil: We made great friends with a fi sherman at Santorini, Greece, who let us raft up to his boat for three weeks. In the beginning we bought him beers to thank him. Then we learned that he was a Muslim [laughter], so we brought him other gifts. Helen: The island of Milos was one of my favorite places because of the historical walks.

Teddy: Well, our younger brother has to go with dad. Basil, Jr: I can go, but my dad has to be in the water, too. Basil: We brought all the scuba gear, and it's great for boat maintenance. But if we were to do this over again, I'd just bring scuba gear for one person. You can rent scuba gear anywhere, and a hookah on a tank is better for boat work.

in the early 1800s Russian fur traders decimated populations of fur seals, sea lions and elephant seals here. While his guests relaxed and marveled at the abundance of nearby wildlife, Captain Paul shared one of the more bizarre chapters of Farallones history.

With reports this month from Shamwari on an eight-week cruise to Southern California; from Celebrate on completing a 14-month circumnaviga- tion as part of the World ARC; photos from Jan Grygier on being a walk-on crewmember at Antigua Sailing Week; from Beach House on a visit to Havana; from Harmony on the fi rst three years of cruising on the East Coast and in the Caribbean; and Cruise Notes.

But after six weeks in Cape Town — which we loved! — I was rested and ready to go again. Charlie: At some point everyone did get tired. 38: If you had to do it over, would you do it the same way? Charlie: You have to understand that we're of the age where one of us could become debilitated at any time.

Actually, our worst weather was off Cape Hatteras on the way to the start. [Laughter.] In fact, it was at Hatteras that I learned something that few people know — that Raymarine anemometers top out at 99 knots. We were anchored at Cape ALL PHOTOS COURTESY JAN GRYGIER COURTESY PHOTOS ALL Lookout near Hatteras in February. It started to blow 40 knots and the anchor dragged, so we pulled it up and motored around in the pitch black. Suddenly the wind was really howling and we were doing 8.5 knots under bare poles. Cathie: I couldn't believe it, but I was seeing 99 knots on the anemometer. Then I heard a tornado warning. Charlie: I couldn't believe what I was seeing on the anemometer either. But it was good it happened, because you can't have an anchor that drags in just 40 knots of wind. So we bought a 200-lb Bruce. We had the biggest anchor in the fl eet, so we slept really well. We had to replace the chain with bigger stuff, and of course the gypsy, too. While replacing it, we found out that the last 150 feet of old chain had rusted together in a single heap.

BEACH HOUSE Nonetheless, our young guide was very optimistic. He told us that all of Cuba is excited about the prospect of normalized relations with the US, and the ending of the embargo. Although Cubans can't say it out loud, my distinct impression is that once Fidel and Raul have passed on, the next generation of leaders will make major positive changes for the general population. After all this sightseeing, it was time for a visit to the very up-market Hotel Nacional for a mojito. The Nacional was built by mafi oso boss Meyer Lansky as his Cuban retreat. Apparently, the mob bosses, including Al Capone, would meet here to discuss 'business'. Cuba became the center of casino gambling and rum running during Prohibition. The Nacional is beautiful and commands one of the best views of the malecon and Havana Harbor. Another refreshing feature was that we had one of the two best mojitos ever. Mojito means, 'the little moistener', and was apparently Hemingway’s drink of choice. Would I recommend taking one's boat to Cuba? Absolutely. Would I want to live there. Absolutely not.
