So you want to live on a boat. At least you're thinking about it. It's a wonderful and exciting lifestyle, and there are plenty of challenges to keep it interesting. This book shows you how you can make it happen.
Many people fall in love with the romance of living on a boat without considering the practical part of the lifestyle. Does this expression describe you?
"I had rather be lost at sea than found in a cubical."
This book is not intended to talk you into living the liveaboard lifestyle. This book gives you the facts, numbers, inside information, and realistic expectation of living on a boat. This book aims to show you that living on a boat can be an inexpensive lifestyle, and it can have the right mix of fun, adventure, and relaxation. This book gives you the whole story-the pros, the cons, and the actual cost. It also shows you how to do it on a tight budget. It shows you that the liveaboard lifestyle is not just for trust fund babies. It even shows you how to be a liveaboard when your only income is your Social Security check. The book is based on the combined experiences of Jerry's many liveaboard friends, plus friends who manage marinas, broker boats, and do boat maintenance. Happy boating.
P.S.
If you're even remotely thinking about living on a boat, this is one book you must read. The chapters on how to buy a boat and negotiate the best price will save you thousands.
