Don't just dream about it Sell up and Sail
We can all dream, it is making the dream a reallity that takes guts. The style of this book, particularly the sections by Laurel, is great. I can still visualize the hornets carring the dead wasps off the deck, like so many minature Lancaster bombers (section on pests aboard).
Since it was first published, Sell Up and Sail has become the bible for those cruising as a way of life, whether short or long-term. It tells you all you need to know - and at what stage you need to know it - from the practicalities and pitfalls of early retirement, choosing a boat to live in.
