Living the Dream is the true-life adventure story of a seven-year cruise from Newport Oregon, to Phuket Thailand in the 35-foot steel-hulled sailboat Tainui. This book gives a true picture of what it's really like for a retired couple to live their dream of full time cruising to far away places: the highs of beautiful sailing days, snorkeling off pristine coral, anchoring in tropical lagoons, exotic cultural experiences, and the fellowship of the cruising community, but also fear in storms, the exhaustion of sleepless night watches, discouragement of endless boat maintenance, and a rusting through of Tainui's hull. Although Living the Dream is written for a general audience, serious sailors will find a wealth of helpful cruising information and steel boat owners will profit from significant learning experiences in the maintenance of a steel hull.
