Acknowledgement

I dedicate this book to the Love of my life, Lucy, who has put up with all my crazy hobbies and pastimes from winemaking, writing books, and tropical fish aquariums to riding motorcycles, sailing and traveling the world.

I'd also like to thank my amazing children, Gino Mario and Valerie Eris, who've I enjoyed immensely in my life travels and experiences. Hopefully, I've inspired them enough that they continue these great journeys, and we can make more memories with my grandchildren.

Author’s Note

This book has covered the least talked about yet the most important topic: Finance. It will take you on a journey to understand the most basic mistakes to avoid, help you understand your finance, make a budget and stop you from hurting it, followed by educating you about the sailing boats, docking requirements, best and most convenient locations to live a marina life and how to make money while you enjoy the most dramatic sunset from your boat. There is also my personal checklist at the end.

‘How to live on a Sailboat full time’ is a follow-up book to my first book, ‘101 Tips for a Breezy Sailor Lifestyle’, which has inspired thousands of wannabe sailors with more than 101 boating life hacks to anyone who wants to sail through life with ease.

Sailing is just like any other sport. It requires practice, determination, critical thinking and reflexivity. This entire guide is designed to give you a head start on how to avoid basic mistakes and enjoy sailing even though you have just started. However, you'll never find a sailor who claims to be an expert on the water.

I’d love to thank team ‘Your Co-Author’ for their work and guidance throughout this book and in publishing.
