A Must-Read for Aspiring Liveaboards: Rick's Guide to a Simpler Life

As for the book itself, it's a perfect blend of practical advice and genuinely life-changing philosophy. Rick takes you from dreaming about a break from the 9-5 to hands-on planning the liveaboard lifestyle, including the challenges of sailing, and the beauty of simplicity. His storytelling is vivid, making each moment feel real—whether it's a serene sunset at sea or the tension of dealing with unexpected issues onboard. It's a must-read for anyone curious about a different way of living, and Rick's ability to weave humor with heartfelt moments makes it both entertaining and inspiring.

Rick's narration brings this book to life in an incredible way. Hearing him tell the stories himself adds an extra layer of authenticity, making it not just informative, but also hilarious, impactful, and deeply emotional. His humor and honesty shine through, and you feel as if you're right there alongside him on each adventure. If you're considering the audiobook, don't hesitate—Rick's voice adds a unique charm that makes the experience truly unforgettable.

Temptation Temptation

The life portrayed in this book is like a box of chocolates; very very tempting.

Rich has amazing knowhow and years of experience of low budget blue water sailing and he’s happy to share this with his audience. He makes the life of a Sea Gypsy sound extremely attractive.

There’s a lot to be said for the lifestyle and as a life long adventurer i know I’ll be out there myself once my youngest has flown the nest.

Rick makes it all sound so doable and affordable. His book is full of sensible and practical advice which I’ll be referring to. I’d never heard of Rick before but will be following him on his adventures from now on !

Rare gem in a world of Filth & Greed

Unbelievably honest, thoughtfully & inspiring. Shines a light on what definitely were better times & highlights that there is still a slim opportunity to experience life without marketing, manipulation and censorship dictating your every waking thought.
Also quite funny in places!

I loved this book. It’s full of great information. The ideas he gives you that you don’t need all the latest gadgets to make your time aboard more enjoyable, in fact a lot of the time they make them more stressful. All the tips are priceless.

informative, motivational, funny and well narrated

I have listened to this book twice now. it's jovial and written in a funny and relatable style. Chuck full of tips and tricks for any aspiring liveavoard or just aspiring sailor. only down side is there are a few things, graphs and pictures, that are in the hardback and it would have been lovely to get those in a accompanying .pdf , you up can find it on their websitr though,
