4.0 out of 5 stars Overview for boaters transitioning to liveaboard lifestyle., July 23, 2004
By

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Living Aboard (Paperback)
Description: Written by Gordon and Janet Groene, Living Aboard offers practical advice and solutions for numerous issues that occur when you stop visiting the boat and begin actually living aboard her. This book details their transition from landlubber to ICW transients and liveaboards -- both at the dock in marinas and at anchor.

Please Note: There is a Living Aboard by the Moeller's... It is an okay book, but I preferred this one. It's more in depth than the Moeller's book. Both are okay, but if you're only going to buy one, this is the one you'll want.

This is not a be-all/end-all book, however it does have enough information in it to be worth the purchase price. Divided into 20 chapters, it is well-organized. Chapters (paraphrased titles for brevity) include (1) Equipping Your Boat (2) Keeping Warm, Keeping Cool, (3) Cost of Cruising (4) Cash Flow (5) Mail on the Go (6) Doctors/Health Care (7) Liveaboard Pet (8) Laundry (9) Earning $$$ Underway and more.

I believe it to be a fairly good overview of the topic -- better than many as a matter of fact. This couple is not living the Pardey life, but has chosen a more (better!) complicated lifestyle. They balance nicely their wishes for the "goodies" along with the inherent repair issues which go along with those upgrades to life.
