It will be a timely read for you.If you see yourself in your minds eye as captain of the 7 seas, or at least your own destiny, encountering the adventures, and misadventures that will surely come, then read this book.Although it touches on many subjects, it is not a technical “how to” manual of a boat’s systems, nor is it instruction on sailing or navigation, but if you are considering this lifestyle for the first time, or reentering it, then you will want to get this book.These chapters provide useful information in broad strokes. What you will want to know before purchasing a boat, and want to know before moving on to your boat, and need to know before taking it out for your first trip, what to anticipate from your chosen dock, and slip rental expectations - is all here – and more.This is an information packed 180 page book, but very entertaining none the less. Alcock speaks about both the romance and the frustrations of living aboard and talks about the human experience in a personal tone as if he were sitting across form you on a bar stool at his local marina.The book closes with Chapter 6 which has nine true stories of others who have chosen this lifestyle on a variety of craft, and all of whom make their boats their home. - packed with entertaining experiences and information about their lives at the end of a rope. Alcock just galvanizes your attention with this little gem and prompts you to read on – and you will. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A little bit of escapism ! *by A***P on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2016* I really enjoyed this book .
