About
Welcome to the Living Aboard a Boat Blog which will be run by me, Mark Nicholas, the author of the book: 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 is designed to educate 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.
I will make a great effort to use this blog to get you news on the lifestyle and current events effecting all liveaboards. Visit, come back soon, and don’t hesitate to drop me a line if there is anything I can do to help.
