The Meder family — Herman, Rocio, and their three sons Walter, Gunter, and Bruno — marks nine years of continuous liveaboard life aboard Kira Kira, a 36-foot steel Van de Stadt Seal.0:13 The summary covers how a family of five manages daily life in a small space: task-sharing, cooking aboard with local ingredients (lime juice, grilled patties), and celebrating Bruno's 11th birthday with friends.2:25 Maintenance is a recurring theme — the crew recently careened the boat at Portobello at low tide to apply antifouling paint, and toilet maintenance gets a candid mention.4:15 Fresh water comes from a natural spring fed by a waterfall, reached by a long overland walk.4:45 The boys study through a distance-education system, sitting two exams per year; Bruno finished his last exam of the year.5:54 A provisioning run to Angra included loading diesel and racing a 90-minute free-parking window.6:16 On the return passage at night, the crew spotted a floating dry-dock vessel with another boat hauled on top, anchored beside the channel.6:59 The practical lesson from nine years aboard: consistent maintenance and shared daily tasks are what make permanent liveaboard life with children workable.
