This is not a cruising guide. It is not a travelogue. Nor is it a how-to-fix-an-old-boat book. This is a live aboard lifestyle book. It describes what it is truly like to live on an old boat, warts and all. Our adventures were made more enjoyable, and sometimes more hilarious, by the addition of cats and large dogs. You just can't make this stuff up. Our book hides nothing. It will tell you of the highs and lows, the good times and the bad, the joy and the terror, and the wonder and the boredom of living aboard. It will describe the many boat projects undertaken to make Drift Away seaworthy once again. It will relate the costs involved, and the pitfalls we experienced. If we could do it, so can you.
