Back in the early days of modern living aboard boats, a small group of dock mates started The LIVING ABOARD Journal. The publication grew and had a cult following with contributors from all over the world sharing their stories of living aboard boats. One of the editors of this publication has compiled some of the best articles from the journal into this book. Gently With The Tides contains dozens of anecdotal stories about the realities of living aboard, including stories about choosing a boat, anchoring, bringing the family aboard, cooking, etc. Great advice for anyone thinking about going afloat. This book is by the same Author and about sailing the Gulags
