All, looking for some advice on how to ensure smooth sailing with what will be a 9 month old baby. We’ve booked a Helia 44 owners edition (3 cabin) for December 2020.

Has anyone taken a little one onboard? What did you learn?

My husband and I are both experienced bareboat charter captains. We will be bringing grandparents, aunts, and uncles on board for lots of helping hands.

Note - please keep the Coronavirus conversation separate. I’ll be watching the situation and will cancel if need be.

Any must pack items? Besides the standards.
What did you find best for sleeping arrangements?
Long dinghy rides vs taxis? Thinking great harbor to white bay.
