A family of 4 learned to sail and now call a 35-foot boat home as they travel the world with their dog

• Nicky Piccalilli, her husband, kids, and dog live on a 35-foot catamaran and travel the world.
• They learned how to sail and fixed up the boat after Nicky had a serious health incident in 2017. 
• Nicknamed the Sailing Pickle Family, the group has seen many countries around the world. 

The Sailing Pickle Family lives a life that many dream of: They sail around the world and explore new countries on a regular basis.

But their exciting adventure started from a low point. In 2017, Nicky Piccalilli, 46, caught meningitis and was placed in intensive care and isolation.
