"Exhausted from 60-hour workweeks and never-ending debt, Mark Reinhardt sought a way to live "off the grid"--Away from the demands of work, bills, and the soul-sucking routines of modern life. He found it -- on a sailboat. The captain currently makes his home aboard a 39-foot sailboat in Key West, anchored out in the water, where there is no landlord, and no rent to pay. In this book, the friendly and knowledgeable sailor shares his tall tales, life-threatening adventures, and nuggets of hard-earned, salty wisdom. He gives a personal and detailed account of what the liveaboard life is really like -- from its challenges (going overboard at 3 a.m. to fix a motor) to its joys (sunsets in the hammock).

But it also offers a more important lesson: how to find peace."--Page 4 of cover
