Introducing the first book by author Mark Nicholas, The Essentials of Living Aboard, a book already regarded as a premiere resource for potential or new liveaboards and seasoned sailors alike.

The Essentials of Living Aboard educates both dreamers and explorers alike with information about this wonderful and rewarding lifestyle. Mark Nicholas has combined his experience of life aboard with the advice of other liveaboards, marina owners, technicians, boat manufacturers and advocates in order to detail the challenges and offer real advice for success. This lifestyle, typically thought to be out of reach or "for other people," is now available to all who dream.

Essentials explains, among other things how to:

**Figure out your needs
**Choose the right boat
**Buy your boat
**Choose the right marina
**Prepare for the lifestyle
**Outfit your boat
**Plan for all climates
**Forecast your costs
and more!
