Your adventure begins right at home, practicing to live a sensible life with only the essentials, as described by lifelong sailor Jim Trefethen, who relishes the cruising life in retirement. Along your path to living at sea, Jim prepares you to:

- Assimilate into the sailing community by developing the traits of a successful cruiser
If you think age, experience, and money can keep you from the cruising life, you haven’t read The Cruising Life, Second Edition.
